...Were animated in a 2-d fighting game?

Yeah, obviously I was inspired by that recent pixel-ID thing, but this is a bit more specific. Writers and artists can participate, and hey, if you have more than one character, why stop?

Basically, detail, describe or draw, storyboard-style, your fursona, character, whatever in how they pose, move, speak, attack, taunt, block, etc. if in a fighting game. Even win quotes, backgrounds, themes, alternate color schemes, whatever. If you wanna, just go for it!

I myself am gonna use Guilty Gear XX as my 'foundation', so to speak. Watch out for a journal edit with an example with my very own Naota.

C'mon, let's rock!


Ex. Naota Minomura

Apperance: 5'4" Red fox zulian, skinny as a rail. Wears a large black coat with gold cuffs and insides over a too-big green sweater with "Santi-U" written in stylized blue font, and long, beige pants with sandals. Also wears a straw hat with the word "Meme" in marker on the front. Black, bristly headfur and green eyes. 26 years old.

Has a power that turns his left arm and right leg white, and his right arm and left leg black, and gain the ability to strecth and be shaped in any way he can think of.

Beginning pose 1: Fans self with hat, looking indifferent. "Well well, don't we look tough."

Bp 2: Lying on the floor with his head in his hand, extremely bored. yawns "Geez, someone else now?" Gets up, fight starts.

Bp 3: Stands upright, talking on a red cell phone. "Yeah, I know. I'll....now hold on....gotcha." Hangs up looking annoyed, turns to opponent and mumbles sarcastically. "Just great."

Standing pose: Faces opponent with hands in both pockets, kicking the ground absentmindedly. If left idle, winds up his back arm.

Forward: Walks slowly and cautiosly, rubbing his shoulder as if he has an ache.

Backward: Slides away sheepishly, clucthing his hat to his head.

Block: Holds both arms up and creates a shield that looks like a huge white and black kitsune mask. "Lay off!"


Mezzo Pitch: Winds one arm and punches, causing it to strecth and strike the opponent from long-range.

Mezzo Catapult: Grabs opponent with both arms. The arms contort into a spring shape and pull him into the enemy's body, feet first.

Mezzo Mayu: Grabs opponent. His arms and legs take a liquid shape and completely envelop them, letting Naota go while the "cocoon" hardens and contracts, crushing them.

Mezzo Viking: Throws a leg in the air, where it strecthes out and crashes down in the shape of an axe or, as the name implies, the bow of those huge, rocking carnival ships. "Chew on this!"

Mezzo Kujaku: Positions self in a handstand and spins with legs out, breakdancing-style, legs strecthing out and repeatedly battering the enemy.
If missed or blocked, he gets up extremely dizzy, pulling his hat down over his eyes while mumbling incoherently.

Mezzo Nagareboshi: Throws a volley of punches, essentially a bunch of pitches, except the punches take liquid form and snap off with each jab, basiccaly launching tons of artificial fists at them. Naota is left winded afterwards and stumbles over, clucthing his chest. "I'm too old for this."

Recovery: "You've gotta be kidding me."

Instant kill-Mezzo Starship: Takes a deep breath and rushes haphazardly at the enemy. If succesful, he appears to beat them into submission, but is actually covering them with globs of "ChiaroScuro" (the black and white stuff) until they're completely incased in a rocket-like coffin of the stuff. Exhausted, Naota slumps onto his ass, lights a cigarette and tosses the lighter at the rocket's base, somehow igniting it and launching it offscreen. Naota takes a puff and waves. "Bon Voyage!"
Destroyed

Win pose 1: Fans self with hat and sighs, muttering "Finally."

Wp 2: His knees buckle and he collapses, panting raggedly. "Son-of-a-bitch."

Wp 3: Streches his back out with his hands on his sides. Brings his arms down and falls backwards, his Chiaroscuro melding and forming a rocking chair. Brings his hat over his face and mutters "And stay down" before quickly nodding off.

Win quotes: (These will make much more sense with subsquent meme examples and Baroque Symphony chapters. )

Naota vs. Naota: "Seriously, why impersonate me? I'm not your average 'excessively handsome yet hurt inside' fursona, ya know."

Naota vs. Natsumi: "Jesus H. Christ, you nearly cut me to shreds. Well, I won the bet, so I'm off clean-up detail, right?"

Naota vs. Dante: "You can't put all that pent-up energy to better use? Go easy next time, big guy."

Naota vs. Vergil: "pants heavily* Can we stop now?"

Naota vs. Momo: "Goddamn, you're annoying. If we're going to spar, do it normally. And give my hat back!"

Naota vs. K.P.: "....Dude, don't touch me. Seriously."

Naota vs. Baitang: "What's with the trigger finger? We're on the same side, ya know."

Naota vs. Yoshi: "Geez, you're shaking everywhere. I didn't hurt you that bad, did I?"

Naota vs. Robin: "You're so much more trouble than you're worth it's not even funny. Get outta my sight."

Naota vs Bangaio: "You've seriously gotta settle down. If you burn this hat, your ass is grass. Got that?"

Naota vs. Kazaki: ".......Your japanese is way off."

Naota vs. Mitsuki: "Were you really trying to run me over? I thought for sure I was gonna die."

There's the basic idea, though it can vary if you want to. If it sounds like fun, give it a shot, let your character's personality shine through, and spread the word.
