In 1998 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a game based on the same manga, hit the arcades in Japan and America. It was actually one of the few comic-to-fighter releases by Capcom, the other being the Marvel series. But what if Capcom would release a Jump vs Capcom game?
They already have the base: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. So wouldn't it be fun to see Luffy or Goku duke it out with Megaman or Ryu? Or have L as a striker? Sure it won't happen at Capcom's side, but who needs Capcom anyway?
You see, real fighting games, real arcade fighting games are always static, non-changing. But for a few years a new sort of community has arisen, that of MUGEN. I myself am sort of part of it, as you could see from a previous blog entry. So, what about an idea that could actually work? It could take ages, I know, but it could happen if somebody is crazy enough to pick up the idea. Hell, I might even work on it.
Wait a minute, why am I blogging while I could be making characters for this game at the moment?

Peach & Daisy: Double Dashing
So, imagine this. A perfect game movie, which is mostly fan service, but can still appeal to an audience the movie is targeted at. Sounds impossible? Not really, it's only hard to do. But I have the perfect idea for a game movie, which would at least cater to the fans of the games, and maybe even the company.
We all know that the Mario series often use refferences outside the Marioverse, like adding a Samus or a Link cameo. Nintendo often does that in many Nintendo games by the way, and maybe that's how the Super Smash Bros. series came to life. But there is one series in particular, within the Marioverse, which uses every in-joke possible, or at least tries: the Mario RPGs. While I haven't played them at all, I do know they contain these in-jokes and outside refferences in general. In particular the Mario & Luigi series.
So, what would be the best idea for a game movie? We all know the previous Mario movie project failed horribly. So, why try it again? Well, first off, we always want to see the back story of the characters, while the Mario series don't need an introduction. Second, people grow sick of Mario. They want another hero to rise. So, when you combine these two demands, what do you get?
Enter the following teaser.
"They are ordinary princesses, often in need of saving."
"This time they're double dashing."
The movie starts out with Peach, who is about to get kidnapped by Bowser, when Daisy rushes in, saying there will be a new Double Dash! tournament. While Peach gets left behind by Bowser at Peach's castle (racing is way more important than kidnapping princesses), Peach and Daisy both get ready for their preparations of the racing tournament. Since this year there are a lot more applications, they need to make sure they get trough the preliminaries. But while every hero and villain is prepairing for the Double Dash! tournament, a new force is rising to disrupt the tournament. Or is it a new force?
The movie will mainly focus on Peach and Daisy. During the movie they get sidetracked by this force. On one occasion the princesses need to go to the Star Haven, where the Star Rod got missing. They search for a while, but when finally finding it and arriving at the spot, they find the Star Rod at the proper place. So when the princesses wonder what the rod they found is, a pink blog tugs on Daisy's dress and takes back the star rod. Only Nintendoids get this joke.
And there will be many other refferences and jokes. Hopefully Nintendo listens to this idea, because I really want it to happen. Nintendo, do your Google stuff!

Finally some MUGEN exposure!
It seems that a certain MUGEN stage is finally used in several MUGEN videos! Check them out:
Given, it's not much, but it's still freaking awesome!
Anyway, for the people who do read the blogs, I have a little secret about what my next stage is.
I have been working for a while on making the Airship stage I was working on really awesome, adding floating ships in the background and having clouds. I also wanted to add some moles to it, but I figured I am as lazy as Flash animators can get. Maybe they will get added, maybe they won't, but it's all up to me actually.
But anyways, let's not get too carried away, the real point is this. Secretly I'm working on a special stage, which will be my biggest project ever. I can't say much, and I can't promise you that it will ever get released, but if it does, then you will be as happy as I am with the stage. The main difficulty though is the background, which will have various animated sequences.
But anyway, we'll see about that. Maybe you will find what I meant.
