Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Tami]

So, it's like a meta-thing where the PCs are actual fictional characters in-universe?

Only they might not know it. That's a potential plot element.

[Fervidor]

Perhaps we can work backwards here. Can you give an example of another entry in this project?

For the ones I didn't write extended bios for, it's basically just a name followed by powers or general archetype, plus any extra stuff I found worth keeping in mind. Like this:

Deluge (High-level aquakinetic. Magneto Type.)
Interceptor (Speedster?)
Doctor Synth (Inventor, creator of The Metal.)
Starburst (Captain Marvel/Supergirl type, rival of Hyperdyne)

Apparently I named the character in question Prototype, and he (?) is the only one with an abbreviated description. Also, "special" means he's different from the others somehow, but I can't remember exactly how. Possibly he got his powers in an atypical way, or serves a very specific function.

Edit: It's possible "ED" is not specifically a superhero type character, though it should still be something fairly compatible. (Sci-fi, perhaps?) I tend not to stray much into other subjects when I get hyper-focused on something like this.

Are you sure it wasn’t a D&D sex fetishist thing, and ED-SM doesn’t stand for Elf/Dwarf Sado-Masochism?

I'm, like, 97% sure that isn't it.

Only they might not know it. That's a potential plot element.

Right, I got that part. Does this mean they can be any kind of character from any genre?

Yes, the nature of the Island makes it so that very different characters can co-exist. I don't want to give away too much, just in case.

The alternate title of this video could be: Kira's Personal Hell.

It does sound interesting, and I may want to try to be around so I can sign up.

Mainly I could see there being balance issues, depending on how the game is supposed to be played. Like, some might play superheroes or demigods with amazing power, while others might decide to play as, like, Winnie the Pooh or something.

I haven't looked at this project in a while but, with the 5.0 trailer dropping this week, I have to just gush about beautiful the sprite work is in this game:



Absolutely beautiful work by the fans, evocative of Toriyama's work but with a really distinct and strong visual identity. Love it so much!

Well, at least his last dance was a great one

Well, at least his last dance was a great one

he danced with one of the best wrestlers in the world in front of a absolute legend.

i can't imagine a better final match than that one.

I decided to look into this because I assumed that this was an original IP that ASW created, not a spin-off title of an existing game franchise. And after looking into Dungeon and Fighter(and watching a few animated character trailers) I think I may have become a fan.

Alright, I know that this will be spoilers, so I'm going to warn you as well as properly tag it. So, if you don't want to know the results of Hulk vs. Broly, then don't read.

spoilers:

Broly wins. And the finale has Broly and Hulk break reality, where Broly essentially headbutts Hulk to death, which proceeds to also unbreak reality. Also, they have indicators for Next Season, and some of the them I know are Luke Skywalker, Cloud Strife, I think someone from Attack on Titan (not sure), and a Steven Universe character (possibly Steven himself).

end of spoilers
