Before clicking this, think of a game franchise. Any game franchise.

[Alssadar]

Medieval 2: Total War. That basically includes then all the other Total War games (I'm not counting Sega, just Creative Assembly).
So that basically sets a bunch of generals from Caesar to Napoleon to Nobunaga to Richard the Lionheart jumping around, killing each other with different weapons and shit? Could work

 

[bigfatcarp93]

I thought Half-Life, which looks like we're getting a game with Gordon Freeman, Chell, Francis, the Heavy, and probably someone from DOTA2, which I am unfamiliar with.

Chell would probably be fun to play, as she could portal her enemies around the map and drop them from heights.

THought of Zelda soo...

I guess I ended with the standard Smash Bors. Which is fine by me. I love the Standard Smash.

BUt no wacky idea here.

 

[Master_of_Oldskool]

I, being the fanboy that I am, naturally thought of Pokémon. So, that means that I'm bringing in characters from all of GameFreak's other games.

...

Well fuck.

Unless... Does the Mother series count? It wasn't actually developed by GameFreak, per se, but a lot of the Mother devs went on to become founding members of GameFreak.

 

[frizzlebyte]

Thought of Splinter Cell, so my top three characters would be Sam Fisher, Altair, and Jade.

Although I definitely like a Sierra Smash game. That would be cool.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Thought of Silent Hill so... Konami... Snake from Metal Gear, Pyramid Head from Silent Hill and some dude from Castlevania I guess.

 

[Akytalusia]

xenosaga. monolith soft. KOS-MOS, Albedo... Vincent too, i guess. they really don't have too many characters good for good fighting games. they're much more about story and character development than power exhibitions.

I was playing Bayonetta today...
Now the thought of a Super Platinum Bros sounds like the most adrenaline juicing, heart pounding, cocaine sniffing, game we need. NO. GAME WE DESERVE.

As much as I would love to main with Bayonetta, I cannot go wrong with Gene from God Hand, his style is just way too impetuous to pass up. His ball buster would be pretty OP but not against Jack from MadWorld and his hype as hell stylized environmentally hazardous stage of death traps and carnage! And then we got Raiden clashing swords with Wonder-Eyes Blue's sword made of 101 SUPERHEROES, all of a sudden time just STOPS and reveals a brush stroke slashing everyone up and out of the madness... Amatarasu joins the fray!!! Only to be interrupted by a flash of crimson, a sh*t eating grin, all that could be heard "Mind if I cut in?"

The cool Brazilian wind, Jetstream Sam joins the party!

Time starts to slow down, someone in the foreground yells "CUT, CUT, CUT!"
Newcomer: Viewftiful Joe! Kenshin a go go baby!

Guys I can't breathe... this game sounds like Gurren Lagann levels of hype... someone please kickstart it before I explode...

 

[Headsprouter]

I thought of Timesplitters...that's essentially all Free Radical did besides the travesty known as HAZE...

No shortage of characters, anyway. The "Smash Bros" for this developer would be the upcoming fan game Timesplitters Rewind. ALL the characters. ALL the maps. ALL the guns...

I can't wait.

 

[loa]

Welp, I thought of mario.
So... yeah.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

I thought of Touhou. Which is really the only thing that ZUN has done so far. And there already is a game like you described for that series. Three (and a half) of them, actually.

 

[not_you]

Well, I thought of Pokemon....

Made by Game Freak....

And I challenge anyone who didn't wikipedia them to name another game title they made....

So, yeah... I suppose the only other game franchise I was thinking of when I clicked on the link was "Payday"

Made by Overkill...

And THAT'S the only game THEY make too... So...

WOOOOOOOOOO

 

[EyeReaper]

Well, I thought of Pokemon....

Made by Game Freak....

And I challenge anyone who didn't wikipedia them to name another game title they made....

I'll take that challenge. Game Freak also made a charming little rhythm game called Harmo-knight. I remember that only because the bonus levels were pokemon bgm.

Anyways, OT:
I was thinking of my favorite series, Shin Megami Tensei. So, ATLUS then.
So I get Yu Narukami clashing Swords with Finn the Samurai, The Dwarf tossing around the Rock of Ages, And Pratty fighting teaming up with Catherine and Midori to brawl with the Jack Brothers. With the Demi-fiend being the stupidly hard final boss
Definitely want this game... if only...

 

[NeutralDrow]

Baten Kaitos? Frankly, I could see characters from Monolith/Tri-Crescendo's games making it into the actual Smash Brothers...

 

[Absimilliard]

I was thinking about Assassin's Creed (as I've had this song stuck in my head for some time - not a complaint at all, mind you, it's stuck because I've listened to it a lot).
Sooo...
Your pick of Assassin (I'm good with any that's not Ratonhnhaké:ton)
Jason Brody or Vaas from Far Cry 3 (or possibly the guy from Blood Dragon, I haven't gotten around to playing that one yet)
A certain Persian prince

The list is probably not too controversial, but I might revisit it if I feel like perusing all the options...

Well done internet stranger... Have all of my internets! Then again you'd think I would've learnt by now to not make random challenges on this forum...

 

[FPLOON]

...I was still on a Persona-related OST high before clicking on this thread...
...So, basically anything Shin Megami Tensei-related...
...all in the style of Smash Bros...

...I'm pretty sure this would be the hardest "Smash Bros."-type game to ever exist, in terms of SMT difficulty alone... unless it mainly focuses on the Persona aspect, then it would probably be only a little forgiven during the first "few" hours before shit really gets real...

All I can say is... <link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4PCOAJ80lo>This... (Also, there just so many characters to choose from that I kinda want all of them to be in the game somehow... No exceptions... Well, non-canon exceptions, maybe... But, other than that... NONE!)

 

[Weaver]

I came in thinking of Jazz Jackrabbit...
Basically all of Epic's (and Epic Megagames) franchises.

 

[EbonBehelit]

I actually came in thinking of Smash Bros..... lol?

Tbh I don't know if the concept works as well without the Nintendo roster - Playstation All-stars is proof of that, though that's partially their own fault for not picking some of their best mascots.

 

[Madame_Lawliet]

I was thinking Oddworld, so Oddworld Inhabitants. Which means...Oddworld.

I thought of the same thing, and I'm not entirely sure the denizons of Oddworld would lend themselves well to a fighting game.
Although I do think it would be kind of amusing to see a Glukun and a Gabbit try to physically fight.
It'd be like watching a one legged frog attack a sausage...
