What Fighting Game Needs a Sequel?

Morrigan is the Captain Falcon of Capcom. That being most well known in fighting crossovers while their franchise is basically dead.

She's also like Sakura from Street Fighter. Because both Morrigan and Sakura are more popular than the intended faces of the franchise, Demitri and Ryu.

Since I don't see it on the timeline, I'll just throw in ARMS from Nintendo. Great character designs, wonderful art style, fun and creative lore, and unique gameplay that actually felt pretty good. Just include a singleplayer campaign akin to Splatoon to expand on the world and lore more, a tweaked control scheme to allow normal stick controls, some fun new stages and characters, and maybe some a new online multiplayer mode and it would probably garner a lot of praise. The original sold over 2.5 million units, which isn't bad at all for a new I.P that launched with a new system.

Haven't watched the entire video yet but I've reached the Art of Fighting section. You wanna know how you do Art of Fighting? You make a spin-off that plays and feels like Yakuza. Small but highly detailed world, explore South Town as you get into fights, partake in mini-games, hang out around late-70's inspired versions of famous Fatal Fury locations, steadily punch your way through several beloved characters and work your way up to your dramatic confrontation with Mr. Karate and Mr. Big. And then you put those versions of Ryo, Robert, Yuri and King into KoF going forward. You can then do what Yakuza also does, reuse a s***ton of assets to churn out high-quality sequels, aging the characters up into their Fatal Fury appearances and beyond. EDIT: Oh wow, cannot believe he came to that same game but for Rival Schools. Eh, to each their own, I'm personally way, waaay more interested in AoF Yakuza than Rival Schools Yakuza.

[@kylereece5511]

I feel like you could do the Yakuza format just as well for Fatal Fury, to be honest. Hell, if you wanted to make it even more interesting, maybe you could even incoporate that one mechanic from GTA V where you can switch between three main characters at most times in the open world and see what they’re doing when you’re not controlling them.

Outside of Thorgi's videos, I know basically nothing about fighting games and probably haven't played anything more than an hour of Mortal Kombat in the last decade, but this man's knowledge and passion for the topic is so infectious that I've watched every retrospective and build the roster and most of the tier lists.

I do think a new DOA is an inevitability, because when Tecmo mentioned it and Ninja Gaiden during an investors meeting as an example of "classic franchises they would like to revive", news of a "DOA and Ninja Gaiden reboot" was making headlines on basically every major game news site, and a lot of FG content creators talked about it. The head of Team Ninja had to come out and say that nothing was in the works at the moment, but the fact that the idea they MIGHT do it caused so much buzz probably showed them that there's still a lot of support for those franchises. also I fell in love with DOA right as 6 was coming out so I want to feel the hype of a new game reveal lol

[@sollato0293]

@@illfordThe series definitely lost a lot of reputation for a while, mostly seen as a thing from the past and their monetization approach made newcomers scared of the games, plus the series is frequently used as a big example of 2000’s gaming horniness to the point of absurdity, mixed those aspects and the series is essentially a laughing stock now. The only way this could change is if Koei Tecmo gets their act together and fix those issues.

DOA is a lost cause and will need massive fix before new installment, but I really wish for new Ninja Gaiden, so we can have all the big character action game back in modern era. DMC is back, Bayo is back(or is it dead now cos of the ending?), and the only one missing is our boy Ryu.

Dead or Alive definitely needs sequels. They're the ONLY 3D fighter competing with Tekken, especially with Virtua Fighter MIA. Losing DOA is a huge blow to the industry imo. I do absolutely hate KT's monetization though.

[@alexbubble6952]

Yeah; that's why, as much as this may be considered blasphemy to parts of the FGC, I put Rival Schools above Darkstalkers on the Capcom rankings. As much as Darkstalkers may be a good series with a really cool style, DoA is dead, Soulcalibur is dead, Virtua Fighter is in re-release holding pattern, all of the older series that switched to 3D at some point along the road have long since switched back to 2D, and while the Anime Arena fighters can at least act as a somewhat of a supplement, they're not the same thing as true 3D fighters. Preferring 3D fighting games in the modern day is pain even if you're a fan of Tekken, and if you're not, the genre is dead.

[@binxthebinx6575]

With Mori gone, I think the only way Arcsystems can salvage Blazeblue is to create a sequel to Blazeblue: Cross Tag Battle. It seems ridiculous because Mori also headed that game, but because it is a crossover fighting game with characters from multiple different franchises and isn't just strictly a Blazeblue game with just Blazeblue characters. I feel like Arcsystems could easily find another game director who has experience creating these types of games and they'll probably do just fine. They can still add the Blazeblue characters and maybe even more of them so that fans of that series can be happy. BBTAG is one of those games for me that SHOULD get a sequel, but I have a feeling that will never happen. The game went through too many controversies and made way too many mistakes. There were balancing issues, lack of update after the 2.0 version, and many many other problems that stopped BBTAG from being great. The only reason why I crave a sequel is because I feel with the right game director, they could perfect it for a new generation. Also, it will probably be the only game that will have a wider, causal audience being exposed to the Under Night In Birth characters outside of their own game. Picked up UNI2 in February and about five or six months later, NO ONE is playing the damn thing. Literally the biggest disappointment for a game I have played in a long time. At least if there was a sequel to BBTAG, more people will at least know who these characters are and that's something I really want out of a BBTAG sequel as well.

[@utarefson9]

To be fair, with how the story ended in BB:CF, the franchise is already perfectly set up for someone else taking over. It's essentially open to be a brand new world, with just some legacy characters hanging around.

[@binxthebinx6575]

@@utarefson9 It honestly depends on how it's done. If it's a new, Blazblue game with brand new characters. I think that would really turn people away since creating new characters in a different universe hasn't been established in the series prior. It's a tricky medium trying to pull that off unless somehow, these new characters are related to the old ones. Video games like Xenoblade Chronicles, Danganronpa, and Fire Emblem have the 'replacing the old characters' thing pretty much established, which is why fans of those games are more open to it. To create a brand new world/characters in the Blazblue series is like taking the biggest gamble ever and for ArcSystems, it's probably not a safe one. Look what happened to my boy Dante in DMC: Devil May Cry. It's suppose to be a different iteration of Dante...but a very unlikable one at that. So there is also that risk of Blazblue ruining their own legacy characters if not given to the right person. For now, I think ArcSystems continuing to create fighting game cross overs with their legacy characters is there best bet. It's safe, people won't get too mad about it and they don't have to focus on a robust story. God knows that shit didn't work with BBTAG, so just up everything else for the potential sequel and we should be good for now.

[@Ratchetcomand]

I want an Art of Fighting 4 with Yuri as the main character.

[@derrickhaggard]

Or we can easily have it be set several years in the future(aka in the Garou portion of the FF/AOF timeline) and have Yuri, and Robert's child(don't care if it's a son or daughter) be the lead hero, or heroine as like in the KOF series Robert with Takuma and Ryo's blessing finally proposed to Yuri and she said yes and they got married with Yuri using some of the Garcia wealth to start her fitness club which she's allowing Ryo and Marco to train in along with their students to train in after the dojo they were training in got destroyed. Plus considering Robert's wealth and status as the heir to the Garcia Foundation and various corporations under it, and the huge target on him, Yuri, and Ryo's backs that the various crime syndicates have placed after the events of the 3 games it wouldn't be surprising if Robert, and Yuri personally taught their son or daughter Kyokugen Karate as a means to defend himself, or herself so having a AOF 4 with Robert and Yuri's child as the main protagonist is plausible and feasible.

[@Zetact_]

- Fate/Unlimited Codes: Not FUC specifically but just a Fate fighting game. There have been rumors that French Bread wanted to make a Fate/Grand Order fighting game but Type-Moon insisted on them making a Tsukihime tie-in and that's why Melty Blood Type Lumina has multiple FGO characters in its roster, because they already HAD those ideas in the development staff's minds but had to pivot. Another thing is that Ono Yoshinori is currently working AT the developer in charge of Fate/Grand Order and he isn't seeming to be doing that much. With FGO's roster of hundreds of Servants, you could easily make a great roster (although given Type-Moon's choices of roster in spinoff games that's a gamble) - Kamen Rider Climax Heroes. A JP only IP but Shout Factory has been giving Kamen Rider an official Western release to some extent and "JP only" hasn't stopped some other franchises. Climax Heroes has a following and it's made by Eighting so it's certainly got a lot of potential to be interesting. The franchise transitioned from a 3d fighter to an arena fighter and so it hasn't had a "traditional" fighting game since Wizard - with the upcoming Gavv taken into account that's TWELVE full Kamen Rider series that could be sourced for the next game. Very unlikely to happen and as a Kamen Rider fan I would personally prefer to see a new Battride War game but a return to the fighting game would also be welcome.. I think for "Something Vs. Capcom" that basically any Shounen magazine would make sense. Capcom usually doesn't do licensing with manga companies and they are a bit of a complicated legal matter since Bandai and Konami usually get those licenses but I think that of the three major Shounen magazines in Japan (Jump, Sunday, Weekly) that any one of them would have a roster that would be really easy and interesting to crossover with Capcom. While the two smaller magazines have less aggressive marketing and video game presence than Jump that's a perfect reason why they could outsource to a studio like Capcom to advertise their IPs, there's probably less legal hoops to get a solid roster than what would be needed to go for Jump.

[@KryptikM3]

They need to do Slam Masters, but it needs to be the flavor of Slam Masters 1, which was very much a wrestling game with fighting game aspects, rather than Slam Masters 2/Ring of Destruction, which was a fighting game with wrestling aspects.

Edit: Also you could put pretty much every non Mortal Kombat Midway franschise Fighting Game under "Let the Characters Live On." Like I think people are getting exhausted over MK's whatever is popular at the time style of Guests characters, but I think people would be hype to Nostalgia guests like Vallah from War Gods, or Deimos from Mace the Dark Ages, or even adapt their non fighting game games like put Nick Scryer from Psi Ops into Mortal Kombat

[@derrickhaggard]

Along with a Primal Rage reboot I'm down for a War Gods reboot that has a cinematic story mode that has Vallah the Viking Goddess of Ice and Justice as the canonical lead heroine and yeah NRS would have Vallah be the canonical lead heroine of the cinematic story mode of this War Gods reboot mostly due to the fact that during the marketing of the OG War Gods both in the arcade, and home consoles NRS back then Midway was heavily pushing Vallah to be the poster girl and canonical lead heroine/central main protagonist of the game. So it wouldn't surprise me if we get a War Gods reboot and the announcement trailer shows Vallah kicking the ass of one of the villainous deities of the roster complete with Vallah narrating how her and many others didn't ask to be transformed from mortals into deities via the "mysterious ore that fell from the sky" but it happened and nothing can change that so now she and those who ally with her will use their newfound deity status and the powers such a transformation brings to protect the innocent and deliver justice and for some vengeance to those who would misuse their newfound power and deity status to threaten the lives of the innocent with the announcement trailer ending with after Vallah's narration about what led to these events she finishes off the villainous deity whose ass she was kicking with a fatality either her Viking Funeral Pyre Fatality from the OG release or a new fatality that plays on either the fact she's now a winged Viking Goddess aka a Valkyrie basically another Viking themed fatality or a new ice attribute fatality to play on the plot point about how one of the aspects she now represents as a Viking Goddess/Valkyrie is the element of Ice to basically reveal that Vallah is of course War Gods' poster girl and the story mode's canonical lead central heroine.

Honestly, I think a good way to differentiate Last Blade from Samurai Shodown is to put the former into a sort of fantastical alt history take on the decline of feudal Japan (mid 19th Century or so) rather than the often romanticized classic Feudal Japan that Shodown goes for. That way the series gets to come back while also providing room for experimentation in the gameplay, narrative, art direction, etc. (Basically a version of the Boshin War that not only never really ends, but gets out of hand VERY fast. This would also allow for a unique cast of characters and some crazy potential for the story as well as stages.) Besides, a weapon based fighting game set during the decline of Feudal Japan? If anyone can think of such a game that already exists, let me know because I can't think of any examples. Edit: Thorgi, I hope you're seeing this comment.

@@OccuredJakub12. Heh heh. Great minds think alike, it seems. I WOULD talk about what characters from the previous games may look like in this kind of setting, but, sadly, I don't know enough about the story and characters of Last Blade to form any concrete ideas in regards to personality or motivations, let alone backstory or movesets. (Though at least one of them would likely be dressed in more Western attire, which was a real thing that was happening in Japan during the mid 19th Century: Some of the samurai that stuck around prior to the Boshin War dressed more to reflect the attire of British, French, and American soldiers. You can look up some old paintings and photos if you don't believe me.)

For Last Blade, I think they should do a spiritual successor with the same name, BUT set it in a different scenario. Imagine getting the Last Blade characters reimagined in a sci-fi setting, or modern urban alternate present with the samurai class still alive, or set it during the Meiji restoration, or add steampunk elements... Try to find ways to make Last Blade DIFFERENT from Samsho

Well, since SEGA is giving Eternal Champions it's newest game since 1994 (did you not get the news on that, Thorgi), and since Capcom & Marvel Games are putting out the MvC Fighting Collection this year, I couldn't think of a better time to ask this question myself. Here are my choices! *Ragnagard. I know, far-out there, the game wasn't very popular, and Saurus and System Vision... likely don't exist anymore. But it was popular enough to get onto Wii Virtual Console in October of 2011! *Sengoku Basara. I'm just going to say this right now - Capcom and ArcSys should do another collab. *A new Sonic fighting game. Does it not count? Obviously. Sonic started out as a platformer series. But that series grew popular enough to spawn two fighting games that still see tournament play to this day, so yeah, we're overdue for a third.

[@GM-yg9nq]

I would love to see a sequel to World Heroes simply because of its brilliant premise. There is so much you could do with the idea of a fighting game with characters based on different time periods and historical figures. They could make characters that take inspiration from the stone age, wild west, Vlad The Impaler, Cleopatra, Greek Spartans, Shakespeare, and I could go on.

[@infasis]

I'd like a BlazBlue all in one collection, remaster-thing, where it compiled everything from all the games while including a bunch of new and modern features. (No shortening the story or cutting out gag routes and stuff either. All of it!)

[@MagillanicaLouM]

I needed it since i first fell in love with gaming through power stone 2. And he's right, it doesnt have to be some huge modern fg formula thing with a huge budget and near decade of content feeding. Just make a fun game (that can be technical enough for a competitive scene to naturally grow on its own) with a few new characters and stages (some dynamic like 2, others more like 1) Shit, i say don't even change the artsyle, just do the Naomi;Dreamcast aesthetic but like, HD-er lol.

[@JoeInTheElement]

2:08 I have a contender for this. Its called Garouden Breakblow: Fist or Twist. And it very well won't be having a direct sequel, but should have a 'spiritual successor'. Its the most perfect combination of manga faithful character models, visuals and wackiness combined seamlessly with real-life simulation style fighting mechanics. You have to try it to believe it. Hand-to-hand, close quarters combat focused, manga-adapted anime series on Netflix like Kengan, Baki, Garouden are getting mainstream. And it'll only be sooner when someone with braincells will think about making a video game about them. And it would only be appropriate to step in and show them the afformentioned game I mentioned before they make a ‘Baki X Kengan’ game. It doesn't have to necessarily appeal or try to compete with other legacy, triple A fighting game gods like Tekken, Street Fighter or MK. But it just might thrive and maybe even blossom if it tries to be more faithful to the niche the original mangas appealed to..

[@w_toons7640]

[@SnipingIsFun]

There does need to be another Slammasters to showcase the classic characters and then throw in the likes of R. Mika and Zangief. Then the continuity of the timeline eventually leads to Slammasters characters like The Scorpion, Gunloc, Oni, El Stingray, and Alexander The Grater into Street Fighter.

I have a weird relationship with this channel of yours, Thorgi I always find every single one of your videos, well written, well researched, has a lot of unique value (by that I mean the information and the exploration of topics is distinctively new and sensible) and so on and so fourth. I essentially cannot think of negative things to say, truthfully, but by some reason I do not understand I never really feel the need to watch some of the videos. Although given enough time I do go watch it and then I keep questioning why the hell I didn't watch it before. I always find myself in this weird cycle when it comes to your work, and I don't even think it says anything negative about your work, it is just some strange quirk of perception that I have about the videos. I hope that if you do read this know that the work you do here is amazing and thought provoking, so much so that I find myself in this strange position.
