Wonder Woman Fighting Game

[Agent Z]

Do you think a Wonder Woman fighting game could work? If so, how would you go about it? What developer would you trust with it?

[Primal Slayer]

Of course it could work.

She has a lasso, sword, punch to do all the fancy techniques. Flight to chase after certain enemies. Block bullets/beams from bad guys.

There's a thread on this

Depends on the powers that be whether she can fly or not. As we all know, they are inconsistent to the point that we question whether she is street fighter level or above as she should be.

Fighting game not action game.

My ideal roster would be (basing it on the number of Injustice's original roster):

1. Aphrodite
2. Ares
3. Artemis of Bana-Mighdall
4. Cassie Sandsmark
5. Cheetah
6. Circe
7. Doctor Cyber
8. Doctor Poison
9. Doctor Psycho
10. Donna Troy
11. Eris
12. Ferdinand
13. Giganta
14. Grail
15. Hades
16. Hercules
17. Hermes
18. Medusa
19. Nubia
20. Silver Swan
21. Steve Trevor
22. Wonder Woman
23. Yara Flor
24. Zeus

Tried to be as objective as possible to pick characters who I think would legit sell the game. You gotta appeal to the straight white male (ugh) community because they're the biggest market, so I threw in a bunch of gods.

I need to ask what's the difference of move set between Diana, Donna, and Artemis?
Cassie at least doesn't use a sword and I can include Silent Armor to make her a berserker type
I don't know about Yara

Yara's a hydro-kinetic. So moves involving flinging water at people? IIRC Aquaman had that as part of his move set.

Hmmm, a Silent Armor based move set for Cassie could be interesting. Then again, that comic book where she beat Lycus had he do some sort of rage move that was seemingly fueled by nothing other than her own innate power as a daughter of Zeus. So either way.... rage mode Cassie works. Heck if it was Cassie in MK vs DC, "Go the hell away" could be her "heroic brutality"... assuming Lycus actually survived... we never saw him again. Maybe it'd be a Fatality? Either way lightning lasso seems good.

Genuine question since I am not a gamer and I don't even play those computer games that come in computers or cellphones: what's the difference? If someone asked me, I would probably say, "doesn't a game that involves fighting be an action game by its nature?"

Fighting game: think Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter or Tekken. A one-vs-one (usually there are some exceptions) battle of one fighting until there's a knockout.

Action-Adventure (I'm assuming people would want an action-adventure Wonder Woman game) - think Tomb Raider, Uncharted, God of War. A game where there are battles and action, but there are also multiple enemy types, boss fights, sidequests/side missions, objectives, collectibles, and exploration.

Youtube has a lot of people playing both of these types of games to better illustrate the differences.

OMG, thank you so much!!! I feel so dumb now, but it makes so much sense. Thanks for taking the time to clarify that.

And yes, I would definitely lean towards an action-adventure game for WW; her mythos is rich enough for that.

Hmmm Injustice... WW edition? sure, why not.

Absolutely! It is a no brainer. And you have a ton of options. You could do weapon based fighters in the spirit of Soul Calibur IV (not 5 or after as it is not as clean and the idea is to focus on the combat rather than fill the screen with colorful bloblets and sparks).


They could easily do a Destiny-like game where you travel to realms like Areopagus, Olympus, Themyscira, Aeaea or whatever and do story DLC after the single player campaign unlocks portals or whatever.

Or they can do a simple traditional single player campaign based on her classic stories (preferably) like CHALLENGE OF THE GODS. It really is a no brainer and I don't see how they don't see it

These are interesting ideas but this thread is specifically for a fighting game.

[Psy-lock]

My roster would be:

Heroes
Diana: lasso + tiara + bracelets
Donna: energy blasts and force fields (from her time as Troia)
Cassie: Zeus' thunderbolts
Artemis: bow and arrows
Nubia: sword and shield
Hippolyta: staff
Phillippus: mace
Yara: bolas + hydrokinesis
Fury: whip
Achilles: spear
Steve Trevor: guns and gadgets
Ferdinand: um...horns?

Villains
Ares (Phobos, Deimos and Eris can show up in his special moves)
Circe
Medusa
Cheetah
Giganta
Dr Poison
Dr Cyber
Silver Swan
Queen Clea
Zara
Blue Snowman
Duke of Deception (Dr Psycho is tricky as a milee fighter)
