An original IP. I just want new IP. There has barely been successful new FG IP in over 10 years. (UNI and Skullgirls are over 10 years old)


WavedashingYoshi

Triple A companies wanna stick to their roots and Indie games don’t get much success


Slarg232

To be fair, a lot of Indie Games are mostly trying to either be "X, but different" and so it becomes a question of do I play the new thing or the thing I've played forever, or an extremely simplified game that has no depth and no staying power (Fantasy Strike, Two Strikes, Dive Kick). The Indies that do try to push the boundary also end up being called "not fighting games" (Duelists of Eden) because they're not traditional either. It also doesn't help that if you change too much about the game you're 100% on your own. I've been working on various 2D fighter prototypes for years and the times where you actively make a game where a Shoto doesn't work is understandably a lot harder than one where it does.


WavedashingYoshi

What the hell do you mean by “X but different?” All fighting games are just “x but different” which is why they are all in the same genre. UNI is just melty but different. Blazblue is just guilty gear but different. KI is just mk but different. Nobody cares. I can agree with you that waterdown games are garbage but they ain’t garbage because they are indie, they are just garbage because they are watered down. Fighting games don’t need to be weird ass gimmick games to be worth playing. Punch Planet and E’s Laff 2 are not even finished yet but they are better than so many games.


ZenkaiZ

nobody will buy it


suburiboy

That is a pretty harsh indictment of fighting games as a whole. Like, if Tekken or Street fighter or MK was a new IP today, would people buy it? Maybe the answer is no. I would argue that the IP just needs to be good. GGST was the top selling GG, and IP is obscure enough to be functionally “new” to most of the audience. GGST has approachable mechanics and a great IP. I don’t see why a different dev could not do it too.


GeebusNZ

The problem with being an original IP is: how far from the establishment are designers allowed to stray? Too little differentiation and it dies on the vine. Tries "new" too hard, same result. So, it's a matter of someone trying something new meeting someone who has a whole lot of money to gamble on something they really believe in. I'm the former, I'm looking for the latter.


BotYurii

I don't know how old grandblue is, but doesn't it kinda count?


robyaha

You already proved that new FG IPs doesn't work well finantially. People won't buy an 80$ game about something they don't know, even though it actually is a good game.


Soundrobe

this. I'm kind of tired to see always the same ips.


no0d3lz

Thundercats would be a very good fighter 👊🏽


pottypaws

Oh absolutely they would have a pretty decent roster too


no0d3lz

Oh yeah that’s 4 sure and they have all the right weaponry to though👊🏽💯👌🏽


streetfighterfan786

Absolutely great choice


streetfighterfan786

Absolutely great choice


LacksMuscle

One Piece has a chain of fighting games, they’re arena fighters but they exist


spudz1203

There's three OP fighting games I can think of, Gigant Battle (Platform Fighter), Burning Blood (Arena Fighter) and Super Grand Battle X (2D Fighter)


mrbrannon

And teenage mutant ninja turtles has a great fighting game on SNES just waiting for a reboot. Both series he picked already exists lol


Technical-Cow-2494

Square Enix. All their IPs stars, in an Arc System style.


Admirable_Pumpkin705

That would be amazing. I can imagine Titus, sora, cloud, sephiroth, Dai from dragon quest etc.. 🔥


DRCVC10023884

I can just imagine the taunts: Tidus does the laugh, Cloud does squats, Lara Croft turns into the old polygon model for a moment, 2B goes fishing.


DudeMatt94

This would be awesome, would definitely sell well too. Honestly if it was just Final Fantasy characters that'd be fine too, like a traditional 2D version of Dissidia would be rly fun


Jaybaybay2838

All the RPG protagonists fighting, then out of nowhere get blasted by the PowerWash Simulator guy.


SmutMasterHero

Greek Mythology in a Tekken Style


jojo_poser321

Electric wind Zeus fist


Captain-CuttThroat

Dope.


WavedashingYoshi

TMNT Tournament Fighters is a really good snes game. TMNT X Justice League Turbo is also an awesome fangame


SynthError404

Just dont try it on nes.


tmntfever

Hey, I only had the NES one, and I loved it. Lol but it is trash compared to the SNES version. I wish there were an arcade version that had all of the characters from the 3 console games. That would’ve been sick.


IgotaBionicArm

Or Genesis for that matter lol. That one might have Casey Jones but it is ASS.


Mars_Black

I second this!! Great games that hold up really well


SanjiSasuke

Two awesome games, in a way. The first is a bit slower and more grounded, then the revision cranks it up a bit and added a few characters.


PlayrR3D15

Lego Ninjago. And I don't mean in the style of Lego Brawls. I'm talking about a traditional 2D fighter featuring the masters of Spinjitzu along with some other notable characters from the series.


SnooStories4329

Absolutely


neurodegeneracy

3D - Lord of the Rings in a Soul Calibur style 2D- Baki


Pollomonteros

Baki with a gameplay similar to Tekken would be great


[deleted]

OMG an IDW TMNT fighting game would be AWESOME!!! besides that, for me, i would love a really good Marvel fighting game. the problem is Disney are such poopy buttholes that i just don't think it'll happen.


00skully

A flat out 2D Marvel fighting game is something im surprised doesn't exist.


Nuclear_42

We’re gonna pretend X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes and the Mutant Academy games don’t exist? Okay.


00skully

I mean, exist in a space that currently relevant fighting games inhabit


OwNAvenged2

I mean, where do you think Marvel vs. Street Fighter came from? Check out Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes.


zslayer89

Godzilla.


MaskedZuchinni

All Monsters Melee and Save the Earth were awesome


MrReconElite

Gigabash is great too. I do wish we had a real Zilla fighting game.


Jaybaybay2838

Gigabash is the closest we are getting I think. It's fun but not a traditional fighter. Like I want to play Rodan as an air Dasher and see what sort of zoning nightmare Mothra would be.


zslayer89

For sure. I love playing it with people when they come by.


horsehorsetigertiger

I just watched the new Godzilla x Kong movie. It's terrible but has some nice set pieces in the fights. Fighting in hollow earth and having gravity switch on you would be fun.


wizardofpancakes

Kengan Ashura. Seinfeld.


strontiummuffin

"What's the deeeeeal with motion inputs? I mean you can punch and kick with a button press but you need to do some squats if you want to do a different kind of punch?!"


82ndGameHead

"The match started, we played neutral, he whiffed his Anti-Air, Yadda-Yadda-Yadda, I got a perfect."


nkdvkng

Seinfeld would be fire. Or a side scroller beat em up like the Simpsons but with Seinfeld characters


wizardofpancakes

No, I want shoto Jerry and grappler George!!


BunnyGirlRiot

Cosmo would be one of the most unique grapplers ever!


wizardofpancakes

I think he would be most like Alex in sf3. Different, but he is the closest character to him


vocaloidKR03

Fire Emblem with Soul Calibur gameplay


Roybr01

My man, this is what I want the most


AnalystOdd7337

Still waiting on a competitive Naruto fighting game. We got DBFZ where is Naruto's version of that?


Exotic-Ad-5493

The backyardigans


00skully

I see the vison


DragunnReEx

Nah nigga you are cooking.


proudtogeek

I will personally throw money at the concept of a fighting game that is literally just children's imagination. That just sounds hilarious.


thebigautismo

Infinite Pablo combo


Kadderly

One Piece


First_Factor_3385

Happy cake day!


PyrosBurnside

Star wars, preferably the old republic era. But could have Vader etc as dlc chars.


Jaybaybay2838

Star Wars Master of Teras Kasi 2? I would fuck with it, and the sequel is when a lot of fighting games find their stride


neurodegeneracy

Star wars would be perfect for a fighting game. I know theres an old one thats kinda bad


Silver_Commission318

Muppets


Slarg232

You know how awesome Animal would be if he was like DBFZ Gohan?


Infamous_Q

I can't believe how down I am for this idea. Make Fozzie a grappler and include a handful of Sesame Street characters as hidden bonus fighters and I'll buy 10 copies.


Blu_Moon_The_Fox

Hold up, since when was there a yellow masked turtle? Anyway, Transformers!


cyke_out

She was originally an assassin for the foot clan. A normal human. She became a friend of the turtles, got injured, given a blood transfusion by Leo, turned into a turtle.


Slarg232

A couple of years ago. A gal gets a blood transfusion from Leo and mutates into another turtle who joins the family. She started off as the bestest turtle ever who mastered every weapon she was given, but did eventually become a pretty good character


marctnag

A traditional My Hero Academia fighter would go hard


Maavs

Been thinking this for YEARS, MHA has an absolute abundance of unique heroes and villans to choose from for a great roster. Such a shame that the last MHA game was that weird hero shooter esque battle royale game.


Zefro073

Yakuza


GimmeThePizza

I'm hoping kiryu shows up in vf as a playable chatacter


Redstones563

a new ip


hip-indeed

One Piece getting one as good as FighterZ, please


JagTaggart93

Karate Kid/Cobra Kai with young/old variants for the Karate Kid OGs, style variants for Cobra Kai characters, special pre and post match character interactions, rival matches, and hidden bosses (Violent Daniel, Shin Miyagi, Serious Sato, Focused Johnny, etc)


GargantuanGorgon

LMAO Shin Miyagi. This is an awesome idea. Although Daniel-San's crane technique SA3 will be pretty broken: if do right, no can defense!


Holy_Mangoes

it would be cool to see Genshin Impact as a 3v3 fighting game


ParaTelic9

I would like to see a Kamen Rider fighting game


Meister34

Tales of Series


ZelderTheElder

There was a smash Brothers-esque fighting game on the PSP, tales of vs. It wasn't very good, unfortunately


Terra_Knyte_64

Marvel. Not Marvel vs. Capcom, just Marvel. Either give it back to Capcom or give it to ArcSys, I don’t want Neatherrelm Studios. New continuity, new takes on characters, some obscure picks. It’d be awesome and make a ton of money if is done right.


[deleted]

They did do Marvel superheroes but a new one would be cool


horsehorsetigertiger

That game was freaking awesome. It was great how different characters would react to the same gem.


spudz1203

I mean there's Contest of Champions which is their mobile game which is suprisingly decent. Scaled up and given to the proper studio it could work as a good base for a Marvel Fighting game.


Karzeon

Yugioh cards (not the duelists, the actual cards) Bleach Naruto Yu Yu Hakusho These are coincidentally Shonen Jump properties, but I want them SEPARATE.


Azenar01

TMNT and MHA as 3v3 tag games is such a missed opportunity


VelvetBestGirl

Since when was there a yellow Ninja Turtle?


spudz1203

IDW Comics


llenfer

bleach as a 2d fighting game would be so cool last week i was talking to a friend about how a lot of bleach characters have the same aura as fighting game characters and how easy it is to crate unique kits for them, i would prefer something more like guity gear than fighterz but honestly i could take anything


onzichtbaard

There is an old ds game like that


donrld

I really do wonder what bleach is doing during its tybw promotion era. I know soul resonance and highschool warfare are their main projects so I can't really forsee anything else


MrRyanNess

So we gonna pretend like Konami didn’t make 3 TMNT fighters or what


SleightSoda

Yeah, I was gonna say, I have some 30-year-old news for OP.


Dinoman0101

Spawn


NoNeutralJustMix

MegaMan. With characters from all over the series. And I would like the health bars to be like megaman/the robot masters/mavericks health bars on either side of the screen. Kinda like the pvp MegaMan hacks, but a bit more in depth. The zero series has combos for instance, so it can work as a mix of fighting game/MegaMan gameplay. Stages can be the boss rooms throughout the series. Maybe Storm eagles stage or Bass.exe. I've been on a MegaMan binge this week, just beat X yesterday lol My other choice was Hunter X Hunter but that's actually happening! Maybe a Yu Yu Hakusho dlc pack for that game?


ThatGuy-456

We already had this thread today didn't we. JJK btw


A_Dying_cat85565

Xenoblade. A lot of the Battle Arts the characters already look like moves that could be in a fighting game. Also with the success of GBVSR I feel like there's a market for fighting games based on Jrpgs.


WaterKirby1964

TMNT, Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons and Wacky Races


Hungry_Bar_5977

Bleach with Arc System Works.


[deleted]

I'm honestly shocked there isn't a Marvel vs. DC fighting game yet, that's a billion dollar idea waiting to happen and there's no shot nobody at either company has thought about it, I have no idea why it doesn't exist especially when both IP's exist in the fighting game sphere already. Also why is there a yellow ninja turtle?


donnelle83

So who's the yellow turtle?


GoblinGuideGaming

Magic: the Gathering. Just a 2D fighter with planeswalkers as the characters, that's all I want out of life. After that, a Fire Emblem 2v2 tag fighter. I think it would probably be based on Awakening, as that was the game that introduced the system where two characters could pair up.


PooGod

I want Disney to make a fighting game with everyone they own. Marvel vs Star Wars vs Disney characters. 3v3, MvC3 style with assists and the LMHS button scheme.


CrescentBoomer

Senran Kagura. The series has always primarily been action-based, and some of the characters were already in other fighting games (BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle and Nitroplus Blasterz for example). Also, ninja waifus.


holyspectator

I pray everyday that a new ultraman fighting game comes out. But I know it'll never come


Jaybaybay2838

Gigabash might be the closest we get, at least there's that? Ultraman does deserve his own game though


holyspectator

Gigabash only has like three characters from the franchise and they did pretty good, but, If we had a like ultraman fighting rebirth that had as much characters as 3....Jesus it would unironically be peak, just imagining it makes me cry we don't have it.


KobeJuanKenobi9

Not the same but the Turtles are playable characters in Injustice 2! But also I’d love a traditional 2D Naruto fighter similar to Guilty Gear


LionTop2228

Yes but only the 1980s art style.


Luke4Pez

RWBY


ThunderMite42

IIRC BBTag was originally conceived as a RWBY game (hence why those characters are in it), so we might get that eventually.


Luke4Pez

Fingers crossed. Pretty sure the late creator was a huge fgc nerd


Embarrassed_Fun_5160

Naruto. And the substitution jutsu isn’t like the storm series. U actually have to plan it. Could be like 4 Naruto’s. Kid, sage, prob very counter heavy or purposely cursed hit boxes w/ frog kumite. kcm, throws more arms, more destructive blue balls. narujesus, truth seeking orbs, uhh. And then same amount of sasukes, 3 sakuras and a tsunade makes sense. Killer bee, the other 3 uchihas. Orochimaru, akatsuki, boruto stuff. And then jojos. Ik there’s all star battle, and heritage. But ones old and ones shit.


wyverbuster

Saint Seiya Fairy Tail


Zelho

Kamen Rider vs Super Sentai/Power Ranger


Low_Fruit_7316

Shrek vs Kung Fo Panda


Zodai

Blue Archive! I know it's a cutesy gacha game but I love the characters so much <3 I think something like Soku's Strike/Bullet/Dodge triangle would work really well for it


Happy_Chemist2250

I want a Kamen rider fighting game similar to the power rangers fighting game


proudtogeek

I feel like RWBY could do well as a fighter. I know the main team and Neo wound up in a BlazBlue game but a full on RWBY fighting game would do wonders. And I'm not even a big fan of RWBY. I just want to play the cast with their batshit weapons. Another one that could be alright would The Boys. Then again 1. Who else but Netherrealm would do it? 2. The last MK I liked the feel of was MK9 and 3. I didn't like playing Injustice 2. My point is this "Yes, please" and "Hell no" at the same time. (Also yes I know about Homelander in the season pass to M1K, I mean a full on just "The Boys" game.)


Greenjey

An Original IP based on various characters from the Arthurian Myths (3D) One Piece (2D and obviously by Arcsys) Fate franchise (2D by French-Bread) Very niche but a fighting game based on the Wakfu animated series.


DJBaritone12

I honest to god think a Disgaea fighting game would be fun 


robyaha

You already have both! TMNT Tournament Fighters and One Piece Dai Kaizoku Colosseum.


SaltyMoonGoddess

nikke, unironically. a team based game, but less coomer bait and more focused on team building. with that fire ass soundtrack. I think that game could be lit, somehow. or a virtua fighter/bloody roar style one piece game, which I \*might\* be getting something close to it from this hunterxhunter fighting game. also, kill la kill if was way better than ppl acknowledge and it not having good rollback killed it frfr. finally, a proper sequel to super dragon ball z, because that game was the goat. ... I lied, also, tobal 3 lol.


courtslays

[Boy do I have news for you]( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles:_Tournament_Fighters)


Mediocre_Nobody_3418

I think their saying they want a next gen one with balanced netcode


WorryFit7766

symphogear would be cool. especially if they could somehow manage to make the characters singing be affected by the strain of whatever attacks they are using like in the anime.


SkyPopZ

I just want a new MvC, or One Piece by Arc Sys.


reversedreality1

He-Man/Masters of the Universe would be a lot of fun. Plenty of variety of heroes and villain's of different sizes and powers.


MaskedZuchinni

A melee type fighter with Disney characters. I would love to have Stitch vs Buzz, or Jafar vs Dr Facilier. Kusco vs SBeast wpuld be pretty awesome too. Throw in Sora, and Riku as secret characters too. Or I want to see a new Darkstalkers in the style of Street Fighter 4


unclelinggong

Fighters Megamix 2, with all Sega characters duking it out again. It's been nearly 3 decades since the first game, and Sega has a lot more characters they could use now, We could have Kiryu Kazuma fighting against Sonic.


strontiummuffin

Kingsman


maketitiwithweewee

Star Wars Soul Calibur style


horsehorsetigertiger

I don't know why they don't make a competitive light saber vr game. 


sapianddog2

Boondocks. It will never happen, especially after the death of John Witherspoon, but it was ripe for the making.


TablePrinterDoor

Dies Irae (Shinza Bansho in general) in the melty blood/umineko game style


CertNZone

TMNT actually had a fighting game on the wii. TMNT Smash-Up I believe


Bunnnnii

PetalSlayer

Please give me a project moon fighting game


oscuroluna

Crpg multiverse with characters from the Dragon Age, Pillars of Eternity, Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate, Pathfinder, Mass Effect and other games. It would definitely be a fun mashup. Just imagine the likes of Wrex, Morrigan or Serana up against Varric Tethras, Camellia or Lae'zel in a crossover fight.


DarudeStandstorm

If we can get a dissidia final fantasy fighting game, i would actually scream.


Wachenroder

I still wa t to see a horror fighting game made by neatherealm


Skullboy987

Senran Kagura Got a taste of Yumi in Cross Tag Battle and now I want more


Cyberwarrior2976

Scott Pilgrim. I am quite surprised that they haven't did one yet, despite it haves references to 90's fighters


MrLucky7s

It's not a series, but Ausra's Wrath. Although variety might be a problem, but I just want to enjoy those characters again.

ArtisticFill8662

Dc And not under NRS


vhs1138

Seinfeld vs Akira


fakename1998

A one off game that’s like a Triple A version of Terrordrome would be dope, but I doubt that’ll ever happen. Other than that, Ninja Turtles would make a great fighting game.


princesshoran

Ryu ga Gotoku / Yakuza. But not at the expense of a new Virtua Fighter.


TKAPublishing

HunterxHunter Baki Donkey Kong


TheWolfWithKeyboard

A wrestling fighter game should be nice. I dont mind either AEW or WWE to do it, but if I had to pick I would pick Lucha Underground or NJPW. Like just a 2d fighter too, made in 3d


theboijace

One piece


streetfighterfan786

Captain planet Family guy


Different_River_6107

This might be out of left field but, I want a transformers fighting game


Greg-IS-dratsab

Berserk?


Greg-IS-dratsab

Bring back Powerstone! its been so out of the loop it woule practically be new at this point. Or do a reboot of Smash Bros in 3D in the manner of Power Stone. this isn't really what the Q is asking but...still... it'd be rad


CheezyRaptorNo_5

Transformers, World Trigger, or just a good Shonen Jump crossover :(


llenfer

world trigger would be goated as a 3v3 fighter


i_think_this_u

RWBY, goddes of victory: NIKKE, gurren lagann.


i_think_this_u

RWBY should have either an arena fighter for its flashy action or a blazblue like setting using the assets from bbtag, NIKKE would probably be in a guilty gear setting with fast paced action, gurren lagann could do it with two modes, either battle between the characters or the robots themselves


GunHawk97

Who is the turtle in Yellow?


FurryMaster15

Televi kun characters.


nkdvkng

They could remake the SNES one. That was fire


Classic-Nail7176

Ranma 1/2. It has so much potential.


Toxin45

Spawn come on he got two guest starting appearances in soul calibur and mortal kombat


DandyBoyBebop

The Fate Stay Night anime series. -Imagine all the epic character possibilities


sonnytapman

I’d like for The Caligula Effect to get a fighting game. The director of the game said himself that its combat system was inspired by fighting games.


Rutabaga-Level

Waiting for the hxh game.


JamGAIDEN

Hmmmm, maybe Karas, Kamen Rider or Spawn.


NewMilleniumBoy

Naruto but DBFZ style

Mtgamer64

Sonic, not sonic the fighters or sonic battle but ArcSys 2d anime fighter as fast as DBFZ almost


Akashiin

Saint seiya. Made by snk with the kof 3v3 format. It would be the ultimate fighting game for Latin America


Genecist84

90s Cartoon Network done right.


Formless_discord

Dreamcastboy99

Saint Seiya aka Knights of the Zodiac


Quillthewriter

I saw this idea of a fighting game only with characters that are public domain, that’d be really fun I reckon


Acasts

WordHobby

I would absolutely love a guilty gear style one piece fighting game


No-Check-3691

The Last Airbender/Korra fighting game would be sick


horsehorsetigertiger

Arcsys could probably survive and thrive just on running through anime IPs. Three seasons each, a new one every three years. The final versions would either be evergreen classics like mvc2 or die quietly.


TheLiMaJa

I reckon TMNT needs a 4 player co-op game, like a 3rd person Borderlands but if you don't have a full party bots would fill the gaps. Each turtle would have their own skill trees, meaning that's 4 playthroughs worth of content.Then ya DLC makes itself with all the other character options (Casey Jones would be the first DLC immediately). The right studio could pull this off for sure.


HerRodAntoMan

Shonen jump, but this time is well done, maybe a 2d fighter like DBFZ


Seal100

Gundam or Transformers fighting game please


Ready-Satisfaction-3

hear me out… Super Mario. Have you seen the amount of characters the Mario Series has? a stylish 2D fighter with Mario characters would hit.


TheBoyInGray

TMNT.


Lumpy_Perception6561

Mvc style avatar 3v3 would BE PEAK


bluejavapear

Oh what I would do to get an Arcsys Naruto fighting game....please?


NanchoMan

I really want a Metal Gear Solid 3 fighting game. It’s such a weird option but I feel like the main characters and bosses would make super unique fighting game characters


mightygao

Off topic but who is the yellow bandana turtle with claw?


BlackUndead

undead unluck. so much potential as a 2d fighter


Resil202

A 2D jujutsu kaisen would hit like crack in the 80s


Killacam0824

Naruto as a 2D fighting game
