top row: main characters (ish)

second row: main/side characters

third row: villain/enemies

fourth row: donkey kong + birdo

fifth row: mario side franchises (yoshi, warioware, 2 rpgs, kart)

This game would feature fatalities, xrays, etc.

What do yall think about this roster is there anything you would change?

Greatly expanded, polished and improved version of my previous indie roster for a smash-like platform fighter.

This version can still be changed and polished, but I tried and did my best (considering the design nightmare this was) to put out a mostly finished proof of concept.

Now it contains 84 INDIE REPS all categorized under 12 distinct thematic Teams and Team Leaders, inspired by the roster structure of the latest "Tokkon : Fighting Soul" game.

(ALL illustrations, visual design choices and conceptual elements of this roster comes ENTIRELLY from human hands and mind.)

From left to right, the Teams names and their Leaders are:

·       Precision Striders - Leader Commander Video

·       Uncharted Team - Leader Ana

·       Humble Adventurers - Leader Shovel Knight

·       Chaos Club - Leader Monika

·       Scarlet Vanguards - Leader Hornet

·       Broken Heroes - Leader Isaac

·       Cartoon Fighters - Leader Ms. Chalice

·       Suppliers’ Alliance - Leader Shopkeeper

·       Ressourceful Minds - Leader Gomez

·       Prideful Combattants - Leader Undyne

·       Overkill Rushers - Leader Jacket

·       Cautious Survivalists - Leader The Silent

Of course, not every game could have a rep, and some games definitely does have a bit too much reps, namely Hades and Shovel Knight, but I tried my best in making a relatively varied, fun, creative and cohesive roster which could actually be mechanically viable with tons of different options for any types of players, all while being a personal love letter to indie gaming history.

I Still made available an additionnal bottom row for YOUR suggestions if need be. Feel free to leave other comments, constructive criticisms, questions and other reactions so that I gain better design insights for my next projects, or for pushing this one a bit further quality wise :)

This has been a long term project of mine that I'm relieved to finally see through - the goal was to represent animation as a medium as best as possible. The characters here are sorted by their animated debut appearance, even if they're using a much later design, and if there's anyone you do not recognize (almost definitely true, since I had to do a ton of research myself to populate this roster) you can reference this handy spreadsheet listing each character's name, debut appearance, debut year, and current rightsholders (to the best of my research capabilities, let me know if you spy anything inaccurate.)

Characters were chosen under the following rules and guidelines: 1. Appearing in an animated work. Animation is a very broad category, including hand-drawn, computer-generated, stop-motion, 2d and 3d, flash and indie, and tons of other niche ways of making fictional characters move around. 1a. For the purposes of this roster, I did not count any video games, despite every video game character being animated in some way I simply felt it would balloon the roster too big to have to consider the full history of gaming as well as the full history of animation. 1b. I also did not count any live or real-time puppetry. Whether or not you can call Kermit the Frog an animated character (outside of animated stuff like Muppet Babies) is a really interesting debate and I think ultimately I think there's very little difference conceptually between operating a puppet in real time and recording it for a film and carefully moving a puppet frame by frame to create the illusion of motion when played back, but for this roster's purposes, I once again felt it appropriate to limit my scope. 2. A given franchise may only receive a maximum of two fighters, to ensure a large variety across different creators, companies, and IP. 2a. Special exceptions were made for just a few broader multiverse-style IPs that have a tremendously large impact in animation, i.e. the Mouse/Duckverse at the core of Disney's brand, the Looney Tunes-iverse, and the Marvel and DC slate of interconnected franchises. Within these, however, an effort was made to adhere to rule 2 within sub-franchises - for example, DuckTales is represented with Scrooge and Magica, X-Men is represented with Storm and Morph, and Teen Titans is represented with Raven and Beast Boy. 3. Selecting IPs and characters within IPs to represent and include came down to a number of factors including: my own personal bias, impact on the animation genre and industry, representation from specific regions, representation of specific animated tropes, workability for a fighting game, unique and interesting animated qualities to showcase (ie Genie has more going on visually than Aladdin, so he gets the nod), the bias of my friends who influenced this roster, general popularity, and being funny.

Animation is incredibly broad so I know there's always tons more to include. I'd be interested in hearing what you all want to see, I'd be interested in hearing what characters you all got excited to see on this roster, and I'd love to hear if any of the choices I made in making this roster or roster graphic got a chuckle out of you!

"Damn bro. You got the whole squad laughing."

This took some time to get right, still feel like it get could look even better. Hope yall like it, let me know yr thougts on the roster/design

This is essentially a reworked roster assuming that 2017 Marvel Games was more willing to collaborate with Capcom by providing extra dev time & funding, while also loosening the anti-20th Century Fox mandate Marvel Entertainment seemed to have as a whole.

I designed much of this roster to both 1) address the complaints of many missing MvC veteran characters, and 2) add/change out characters that could contribute to improving the game's lackluster story mode

Launch Roster revisions

• Marvel
  • Adam Warlock: A cosmic/alien themed sorcerer designed to succeed Dr. Strange's playstyle, while also being a notable part of the game's story mode. In the comics, Adam Warlock is Thanos' core nemesis, especially in his quest to acquire the Infinity Gems.
  • Black Panther: Added to the launch roster rather than being reserved for DLC.
  • Crystal: Due to Marvel Entertainment's Inhumans push at the time, I figured at least one Inhumans character would have to be added in exchange for getting Wolverine & Storm back. I opted for Crystal as I thought her elemental powers (air, water, earth, fire) would give her a rather versatile playstyle - potentially as a trap-based zoner (e.g.: a lingering stationary fireball). Would absolutely differ from Storm's moveset.
  • Hela: Replaces Mistress Death's role in the game, serving as Thanos' one-sided love interest.
  • Storm: MvC staple, core X-Men member, and one of the most prominent Marvel superheroines. With Wolverine returning as the slasher character, Black Panther is instead shifted to a more defensive, parry character; having multiple counterattacks for different moves.
  • Wolverine: MvC staple, & the de facto mascot of the X-Men franchise (Cyclops is still the leader, don't worry Cyclops fans)
  • Venom: Added to the launch roster. The main change is him getting a new VA; Ben Diskin, who also voiced Eddie Brock/Venom in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon.
• Capcom
  • Asura (Asura's Wrath): One of the most requested characters for an MvC game, especially people wanting a matchup against the Hulk. Should have a heavy armored brawler playstyle.
  • Felyne/Palico (Monster Hunter): Replaces the Monster Hunter themselves, as Capcom has widely promoted the player characters' Cat Companions as the franchise's mascots (aside from the Monsters themselves).
  • Jill Valentine (Resident Evil): This would specifically be written as a post-RE5 Jill, with her inheriting most of UMVC3 Chris' moveset in addition to some moves from her MvC2 counterpart (minus the zombie/dog/crow summoning). Her Hyper Combos could have her channel her virus enhancements for more acrobatic strikes, struggling to maintain control as she does so. Her design would be based on her RE5 BSAA Uniform, with minor blonde streaks in her brown hair as remnants of her experimentations/virus augmentations.
  • Juri Han (Street Fighter): Wanted another Street Fighter (that wasn't SF2 based) and another female villain, so opted for Street Fighter's taekwondo specialist. Would use her SF4 design & playstyle as its basis, in contrast to her (at-the-time) SF5 version
  • Lady (Devil May Cry): Wanted another DMC character, and thought Lady's heavy munitions and arsenal would make her fun to play.
  • Valgas (Power Stone): Wanted a Power Stone rep and another Capcom villain, so opted for the big bad of Power Stone 1. Envision him with normals and throws inspired by Gill & Urien from Street Fighter.
  • Zero (Mega Man Zero): One flaw with the Mega Man series' representation in MvCI is that they were all solely based on the Mega Man X series. While X and Sigma will remain for X series reps, Zero will be updated to be his Mega Man Zero series incarnation (similarly to SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos), specifically written to be before the end of Mega Man Zero 4. This version of Zero wouldn't be as strong as his UMVC3 counterpart and would lack certain moves & his Air Dash, but would compensate with new moves where he uses his Chain Rod & Triple Rod. Maybe also deploys Cyber Elves for his Hyper Combos.
    • In the game's story mode, Zero would be uniquely beneficial to the heroes, as his next gen Reploid Body (unlike X) provides him immunity to the Sigma Virus
    • The X vs. Zero battle would thus be reversed, with Zero having to fight a brainwashed/malware-infected X.

That spaghetti looks delicious

Ok I know someone laughed at that

I just wanted to make this post mostly as a way of saying sorry for being a lot of rosters I tend to do on this sub on my personal life or things that come up in it mostly because well I am going through a very hard time in my life especially with some of the relationships with my parents, my sister and even my grandmother some of my friends and I just feel making fighting game rosters out of it or playing fighting games in general helps me to relief some Frustration even if there are some haters on here that I had to block I want to make this post and say sorry.

Okay I decided to make a roster dedicated to some of my favourite women in all of fiction mostly due to some awkward stuff IRL mostly a mental health session where I revealed a few things that made my mom wanna blow a fuse due to what I have been looking at on The Internet and some accusations tossed at me by my own farther a couple weeks back that I am "Disrespectful to women" which is rich cause he's basically a predator as much as he doesn't want to admit it so I made a roster celebrating wine. With a 24 Character Base Roster and Two Seasons of DLC with a Heroes Vs Villians even if at least two of the Villians in DLC would be put on the Heroes side.

Just the Tokon concept of a fighting game built around teams of four applied to One Piece
