SC Character Ideas

Koa Hawaiian Warrior - The Koa warriors were disciplined war machines. They used a martial art, Lua, which they only practiced at night to prevent prying eyes from learning. It was kapu, or forbidden, to teach someone who wasn't in their caste or foreign. In battle they wore feathered cloaks and gourd helmets for protection against lethal missiles. They employed shark toothed slashing weapons, shark toothed throwing axes, trip cord weapons, stone maces, double sided daggers, strangle cords, forked trip weapons and spears.

Insect Man! - Part Mantis, part spider, part scorpion all DEADLY. He could have wings and claws, a stinger, he wouldn't even need weapons! He could even spit acid or throw webbing on an opponent!

Gladiator - A warrior with a mace and shield and a sinister mask! A mace is a cool weapon with defense smashing capabilities.

Gambit - From the X-Men. He already has a staff and projectiles. He is full of funny lines from the old X-Men Cartoons like "It don't get much better than this" and "The name is Gambit, Remember it!"
or "Just what I wanted to hear" and he'd have to have that french accent of course.

Duke Nukem - I know this is extreme but it would be like my dream come true. He Could use a knife, gernades, guns. He could say things like "Come get some" "Damn" "Die you Son of a ******" "eat **** and die" "Damn I'm Good" "Confucius Say... DIE!" "I'm not gonna fight you, I'm gonna kick your ass" "Ooh what a mess" "Ooh that's gotta hurt" "Your face, Your ass, what's the difference?" "Holey S***" "Looks like it's just down to you and me, You Freak!"
Come on, you guys really need to break the mold and have a character that says some funny S***.

But weapons are the soul basics of the game. It's about the weapons, not the super-powers.

Wouldn't guns give a character an overwhelming advantage? It's hard to make it work.
Cervantes has one but it seems low tech because you can actually be fast enough to evade it.

Maybe Insect man could hold 2 Swords AND use his claws and stinger.


I guess Duke Nukem would never work

I'm not sure if these are good

weapon: stick
Strength: B Range: C
Speed: A Moves: B
there really is such a weapon in use
difficulty: medium

weapon: mace head x2
Strength: A Range: C
Speed: C Moves: A
like Rock's mace without the long stick but instead a handle like Voldo's
difficulty: advanced

weapon: chain whip
Strength: C Range: A
Speed: B Moves: C
a whip made out of chains so that it's hard and strong
difficulty: advanced

Killik

Voldo

Ivy

Kilik's rod is much longer than a stick
Voldo's weapon is different and has different stats
Ivy has a snake sword. How's about a pure whip, not a sword.

Yes but between him and SC3's Staff style, the "stick" would bring nothing new to the game.

ZK_Extreme wrote:Voldo's weapon is different and has different stats

Ok, maybe but a blunt close range melee weapon like that seems boring.

So Ivy has Whip+. Why would you need a whip aswell?

Because it's for one or two moves and totally fair. An outright gunner would destroy the series.

do you even know anything about the stick?
Also known as eskrima

more like eskrima x2
this is very different

dracomageat wrote:So Ivy has Whip+. Why would you need a whip aswell?

Ivy's weapon changes into a sword. I want a pure whip with more moves than Ivy's because it's concentrated on whip attacks.

Yes and I mentioned that too. Cervantes' gun is low tech and is fair enough to evade.

To me, they should stick to balance and the existing characters. They could bring back old ones or ones that were mentioned in main characters' bios, too. Though the last 2 options I mentioned might bring some "copied movesets", many people ask for them...
But when it comes to balance, I believe that this is the first thing they should consider rather than creating another super-powerful unbalaned character...

There's no need to mention that I agree with dracomageat...
