Neo Geo Coliseum is great game, especially the soundtrack Goodman’s theme is fucking awesome. Also Yuki and Ai have great designs, kinda funny that they have an install in this game 😂

[@cammyplayer]

You know what I'm not crazy about? The stages. SNK has done better stages in other games

[@sanctityninja9345]

@ don’t the bosses have the same stage?

[@oliverjones1845]

I loved that game. I have the import

[@TessieWatchingClub]

R.O.B. is pretty much a Smash Bros OC because they kinda just made up 95% of his moveset, and all of his in--game lore is being a Subspace character

[@orangeslash1667]

Rob, I think represents video game robots because he has every robot trope you can think of.

[@markomanx]

If that's the case, Captain Falcon is a Smash Bros OC because his moveset is based on the generic tech demo character for the original game lol.

[@thelastgogeta]

R.O.B. is OC adjacent since it isn't a game character nor has an associated universe before Smash like Captain Falcon. On the note of made up movesets, Fox and Ness aren't much better.

[@Sin606]

R.O.B. was an actual product during the NES era, they just made it a character...sorta like how the Super Scope is an item IRL also.

[@orangeslash1667]

@@markomanx I heard that Captain Falcon's moves may have been inspired by Kamen Rider.

[@redchariot4006]

Ingrid and the two OCs that were supposed to debut in CAS The Code Holders were clearly influenced by SNK, D.D was obviously K'. While Rook was more similar to Benimaru and Rock Howard, Ingrid is obviously inspired by Athena in a way with even her moveset taking stuff from her Personally think she would be easy to integrate in the SF canon if they just made her an student of Rose

[@cammyplayer]

I always thought D.D. was more similar to Alba Meira And in one little line you made a better Ingrid story than anything Capcom created so far

[@RagingRowen]

It does make sense seeing that CFAS was deriving from a scrapped CvS3.

[@joe3489]

I mean, the game was entirely being developed by former SNK employees. Even Kyo was a planned guest in the game.

[@HeartAino193]

Yuki and Ai caught my attention the most out of all the characters you've showed in this video. But what about these other OC crossover fighters? Zetsumu from Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax Mii Fighters, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Tabuu, Master Core, Galeem and Dharkon from Super Smash Bros And since you've mentioned "clones" in this video, how about doppelganger fighters in the future who have similar appearance and/or similar moveset?

[@cammyplayer]

Those are some good ideas. Thank you, HeartAino

[@Wolfedge75]

“doppelganger fighters” So Robo-Ky, Vatsu and about almost 1/2 of the OG Melty Blood cast?

[@HeartAino193]

@@Wolfedge75 yeah in various ways. And please don't forget Fukua and every Super Smash Bros Echo Fighter such as Princess Daisy, Lucina and Ken Masters.

[@trappestarrgaming3422]

What abt all the xenoverse characters ik alot got put into the manga but they debuted in the games first. Mira and the others

[@axeljimenez7898]

Thank you so much for make a video of the original characters in crossovers fighting games, as a personal opinion i see these oc very llamative because when there a crossover game, much of us don't know were franchise come characters and when we investigated we get a surprise that one of these character doesn't come from any of these franchise and make a debuted, or at least i feel that. Honeslty i really like to see a original character in a crossover game, specially if is playable, because they stand out by the design, but also is i see it dangerous because the o.c.s can go unnoticed by characters that the people recognice more and are beloved than someone just debut in that game of how the fans receive them, specially now because i feel the people laugh of them, ignore or even get mad because they take away a slot for a better character that deservet.

[@ktrnvz]

I love ngbc, yuki and ai have always been my fav crossover exclusive characters. They're quite overlooked, so thanks for spotlighting them in this video!

[@kaihedgie1747]

Special mention should go out to the Extreme Gundam line in the Gundam Extreme VS series The original Extreme Gundam was the final boss of the first two iterations. You don't fight the machine itself. Instead it combines with massive armors that specialize in one of three roles: Melee, Long-Range and Assault. The melee version has a big sword that it can combo you with and could launch flying blades at you. The long range version had massive cannons it could carpet bomb the arena with and the assault one featured a bunch of attack drones that could freeze you in place. The second iteration, Full Boost would introduce a fourth variation that combined all aspects together. It also introduced a playable version called the Leos-type which used scaled down versions of those armors. It got a tie-in manga called Gundam EXA which explained the lore and premise of the Extreme VS series Maxiboost would bring in another playable Extreme Gundam which streamlined all of the packs of the Leos-type into one cohesive unit that was basically Strike Freedom with a bit of Burning Gundam in it. A later revision introduced new boss Extreme Gundams called Extreme Gundam R, piloted by dark data copy versions of the series main female lead, Sthesia. The last update to Maxiboost introduced a proper successor to the original Extreme Gundam, foregoing the use of armor packs and fighting more like an RPG boss. It also brought in yet another playable Extreme Gundam, this one being more magical-girl themed, piloted by Sthesia herself and having attacks based off of the Extreme Rs Extreme VS 2 introduced a brand new original final boss called Galvaria and followed the same concept as the original Extreme Gundam, but its armor packs were much bigger and less humanoid in shape. Late into the first revision, XBoost, it was accompanied by four Gundams of the brand new N-Extreme line that were more visually and functionally inspired by other Gundams in the franchise proper

[@thelastgogeta]

Can't say for certain without playing them again, but it seems like Gundam has been making original suits or characters for their games since the PS1 but it would take a lot for me to piece together between the localised game versions and JP release dates if someone would count as an OC in a crossover.

[@kaihedgie1747]

@@thelastgogeta It actually goes a bit further than the Battle Master series. The first game-original suit in a fighting game was the Dolmel in Ex Reuve

[@joe3489]

Haven’t finished the video but my favourite OC character is Midler from Heritage from the Future. She was a one-note villain that was added in the game due to the lack of characters to add in a Stardust Crusaders game (that and the original plan of adding more Part 2 characters was scrapped), since only her legs was shown in the original comic, they had Araki make a new character design and he in turn reimagined her as a belly dancer. Funny enough, most of her portraits in the game are redraws of a different character: Yukako from Part 4

[@conradojavier7547]

In the Manga, you see her Stand more than the User.

[@nimhard]

This is a topic that really interests me. Ótimo trabalho!

[@cammyplayer]

Que bom que curtiu!

[@tedjomuljono3052]

Yuki & Ai can also fuse to form Atomic Guy iirc, an Ultraman expy from the SNK game King of Monsters

[@RagingRowen]

We could talk about Original 'Dream Match' Fighters too. Examples include Nameless in 2002 UM, the Samurai Shodown VI newcomers, Unknown in Tekken Tag plus Jaycee in 2. To an extent we could also mention Rick Strowd in RB2 since it seems to be half-canon.

[@cammyplayer]

You bring an interesting idea, Mr. Rowen

[@NewGabeOrder]

9:48 I wished MVCI had a 3-level super bar like most other fighting games did. It just seems unfair to have a 4-level super bar and no fighters eliminated. It would have been better if the super bar caps out at 3 levels if both teammates are present, then have the super bar cap out at 4 levels once one fighter remains.

[@tintor2]

Kyo and Iori might be Ai's older brothers considering they are both crossover protagonists created by the same studio

[@cammyplayer]

Kyo and Iori being brothers is already a revelation XD

[@lonta1799]

@cammyplayer You forgot to include KOF. It is also a crossover game.

[@cammyplayer]

Yes, but KOF has way too many original characters at this point. Even a whole video, just for KOF, wouldn't be enough to cover everyone

Capcom Fighting All-Stars Dark Ingrid is more mysterious than Ingrid she has black substance with red outline coming out of her hand. I wish there was more information on her.

[@cammyplayer]

First time I'm hearing about this

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

I wonder if the original characters from Jump Force and Android 21 from FighterZ, both her Lab Coat form and her Buu form, can potentially be added to the roster of Sparking Zero. Speaking of original characters, another original character that should be playable in Sparking Zero is Gohan Black and that fused form of Zamasu and Gohan Black.

[@cammyplayer]

The only thing that might prevent 21 from being in SZ is possible copyright complications.

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

@cammyplayer Even though Android 21, or at the very least her human counterpart appeared in Dragon Ball Kakarot as an NPC, and even cameoed in Dragon Ball Super Superhero, where it's revealed that she's the wife of Dr. Gero?

[@cammyplayer]

Even so. I think her rights might be tied with Arc System Works, maybe something like co-ownership. But what do I know? I'm just guessing here.

[@GmNdWtchr96]

​@@cammyplayer21 is also in Xenoverse 2

[@thelastgogeta]

​@@cammyplayerDragon Ball licensing is a bit complex as you suspect, or at least, that would be a decent reason why Dr Slump characters (who are in the original DB manga and anime) and characters from DB Heroes/Super media rarely show up elsewhere. I think Android 21 is probably much more simple though. We also went through the Nameless/Krohnen situation with SNK, so it is out there for companies to troll or keeo things in the vault.

[@mushra50]

So Capcom didn't invent the crossover fighter

[@cammyplayer]

Far from it

[@teruienages962]

They never really claimed to

[@conradojavier7547]

KOF itself started as a Dream Match Game for SNK, until the Sagas Too over the Game.

[@cammyplayer]

Indeed, and from the start it had original fighters. But now they're too many not to be its own series of very long videos.

[@thelastgogeta]

My picks for the next video if you continue this would be from Blade Strangers (Lina and Helen) and Blade Arcus Rebellion from Shining (Pairon and Ryuga). For some platform fighter examples, Multiversus has Reindog for whatever reason and Umihara Kawase Bazooka has a handful just for that game before including a KZbinr but it may be a bit of an edgecase as Umihara Kawase is a single linear IP and Bazooka happens to be a platform fighter (rather than a platformer) with a lot of guests and some original characters.

[@cammyplayer]

You bring some interesting suggestions. I'll put it in the list

[@o_oro-q1k]

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum mentioned!

[@cammyplayer]

Underated game imho

[@etrotm1226]

10:24 I just wanna say when you got to NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (which I think is a fun game), thank you for not listing Fatal Fury, because the titles mentioned are SNK games that ALSO matter and can help people discover something different for a change. I also wanna mention the girl control Cyber Woo is also an OC from NGBC just like Yuki, Ai, and Goodman are. I also would ike to mention, The King of Fighters, while I know isn't considered a series similar to that of the Marvel VS, or any other crossover fighting game, it is still a crossover and has original characters originating from there, like Kyo and Iori. I know with the many MANY games KOF has it woul d be a video on it's own so, I just wanted to add that in. I also think Kung-Fu Man from M.U.G.E.N should be on this list as well. Mainly because as default and generic he is, I just love MUGEN so much that when in conversations about crossover fighting games especially when talking about their OCs, MUGEN is a must.

[@cammyplayer]

You know what? I guess you're technically right about Cyber Woo. Thank you for pointing that out. KOF wasn't forgotten, it's just that... there's so many. You said it would be a video, but it's even more than that. Multiple videos. There's just so many original KOF characters that we'd be doing this all day. =p As for Mugen, I don't know how I feel about that. If fan made characters were allowed, things would blow out of proportion. That said, Kung-Fu Man really is a special case, almost like the only official characters in a non-official game, so...maybe?

[@etrotm1226]

@@cammyplayer That's why I mainly mentioned Kung-Fu Man because, he is the only character who is actually rom MUGEN. The only Official character from MUGEN I should say. Would be him and Suave Dude if only Elecbyte made the guy sooner after all these years lol

Ingrid should return in Street Fighter it's surprising Capcom don't put her and many of their crossovers.

[@cammyplayer]

I used to believe, but by now I think she's done with SF, unless they add the sprites in some old collection, like an extra SFA2 characters for example, similar to Cammy in A2 Gold

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

@cammyplayer I remember they gave Karin a Ingrid costume in Street Fighter V

[@carlosaugusto9821]

She became controversial because of her image is forever associated to CFE. It doesn't make sense, but that's how people work and they don't make sense most of times either. It's not much different from how Fighters' History or Karnov's Revenge has some legitimately good gameplay ideas, and even some characters are better than SF2 characters, but all of them and their game are not respected because of the stigma of being the "SF2 ripoff sued by Capcom". And Capcom even lost the lawsuit, which was absurd in first place, but the bad image never disappeared.

[@MagicianRabbidSupremacy364]

Gonna mention a few that weren't listed: Super Smash Bros: Metal Mario (Character), Fighting Polygon Team, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Metal Luigi (Character), Giga Bowser, Fighting Wireframe Team, Sandbag, Fighting Alloy Team, The Subspace Army, Mr. Game & Watch, Ancient Minister, Tabuu, Master Core, Fighting Mii Team, Galeem, and Dharkon.

[@2Dee4ever]

Ruby Heart, SonSon, Amingo... Do these characters possess strength as a trio? Are any worth reviving? Ruby Heart certainly stands out as a standalone character, but the other two lack memorability.

[@cammyplayer]

I say stick'em in Darkstalkers 4

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

Amingo is incredibly memorable, what are you talking about? He's not particularly strong, but he's a walking, shape-shifting cactus man who wears a sombrero and can turn his hands into maracas. That's really unique and it's all beautifully animated by hand. Fighting games need more weird characters and Amingo is legitimately one of the most lovingly crafted I have ever seen. Every attack has a creative and characterful animation that turns normals into spectacle and reinforce the core concept of the type of character he is. He's a character that is suitable for comic relief whilst also being an absolutely terrifying concept if that sort of tone is called for. Ruby Heart is a solid design, but she's just a pirate and I think that it's much more pedestrian. It's not bad, but it's just an attractive person with a stoic personality and a nautical gimmick. I can take it or leave it. Son Son is the least exciting, but there's some interesting stuff there. The design is just a bit basic and the personality expressed through the design is a bit too manic for my taste (plus the attack where she turns you into a melon and eats you reads different after learning about what other people are into. No judgement if someone else enjoys it outside of this context, but I feel like it creates issues when fetish adjacent imagery is associated with a child character).

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Ruby and Sonson are interesting, and Amingo only sticks out for looking funny
