Toshimichi Mori, Creator of BlazBlue, wants to make a RWBY fighting game

archive.is/nykKf
>If I were to make a game based on something that wasn’t a complete original, which is what I have done in the past, it would be based on the intellectual property of RWBY. So each girl has their own kind of color, theme that they are associated with and the original creator has sadly passed away. If we were to ever make a fighting game of this, I would want to really spearhead that if possible.

Thoughts, Sup Forums? Even if the show itself is dumpster fire tier, it's potential as a fighter would be too big to pass up. Though it better be a tag fighter or else they shouldn't bother otherwise.

Also, the article itself is pretty neat, goes into how Mori and Daisuke got into ASW, the genre and their inspirations.

>it's potential as a fighter would be too big to pass up
Anything can be a fighter when so much entertainment is dependent on combat and violence as its crux. It has no more "potential" as a fighter than any other trashy highschool meme babby's first SJW newgrounds tier web cirlcejerk

Sage btw

>We want to jump onto the bandwagon of the "popular" series
>said series would require almost no effort to make look better than it actually does
>whole cast is waifubait

Well gee, I wonder why they'd want to make it

waifu x waifu

>Even if the show itself is dumpster fire tier
Oh boy we have a contrarian here. The show is a big hit and loved by literally millions of people. It's on netflix, has a game on steam, and it's been endorsed by a ton of celebrities.
I know it's cool to hate on popular things here, but you need to grow up.
>inb4 someone post the webm from the first season
Production value has skyrocketed since then.

Bruh, I watched all 3 volumes. It's straight shit until literally the half of it's 3rd season, and that's only because it decided to turn the "happening" switch there and made shit actually happen.

But that doesn't mean that a fighting game would be bad or that it's current game is unplayable (it's fine now due to the combat update, but still super repetitive).

It's a decent hit in Japan, but I'm still surprised he knows about it. I bet Mori would be a dirty Blake fag.

a naruto storm series type of rwby fighting game would be cool, or skull girls.

I'd play it

I can agree with this

a power stone clone could also work.

I think it'd be stupid, but I'd probably buy it.

Watch the story be a loose adaptation of Henceforward plot. It's crazy enough for Mori to do it and not give a fuck.

Get a better taste MoriP

RWBY has only been remotely watchable since the back half of S3, but the one thing you can't criticize about that dumpster fire is the character art. It'd make for a pretty decent anime fighter.

>Yang is literally Bullet

NICE MEME

Every jap is a dirty Blakefag by default because of her ears.

>RWBY
Shit series

>Blazblue
Shit fighting game series

It's bound to be a mega turd. No thanks.

Remember when Platinum Games said they wanted to make a Kill la Kill or a Bersek game?
Ya, me neither

>Yang is a better Bullet
FTFY. Bullet a shit if you aren't looking at her for her body

I'm pretty sure they could copy/paste Makoto's normals unto Yang and no one would know or even complain.

>BlazeBlue
>RWBY
No thanks

I'm sure a lot of people would notice her wearing damn near nothing.

I only watched a bit of RWBY when it first came out and I thought the action scenes were all pretty good. I think a fighting game could be very flashy and fun, it needs the sort of over the top anime-fighter style and this would be the perfect thing for it.

I remember literally none of their names but the girl with the grenade launcher hammer has basically the coolest weapon ever.

I didn't mean her actual design, but hey I sure wouldn't mind Yang wearing that.

That's Nora, and her ability is basically being Thor.

Which "celebrities" endorse it?

I couldn't get through the first season and it's not at all reasonable of the creators to expect me to watch 2.5 seasons before it starts getting good.

The best way to get through it is with a friend or just drunk.

If Mori got Shirow Miwa to come in to do concept art, I'd be buying the artbook ASAP.

There are a million shows that are watchable while drunk, I'd rather spend my time watching things that are good.

You wouldn't do shit.

Fuck off, RWBY was disliked by many before it started blowing up to this degree. The entire first season is nothing but cringeworthy 13-year old garbage and after that it could only be considered good when comparing it to the trash it was before.

It's not even average, it's just straight-up bad, just less bad than it was before.

Monty actually wanted to make a RWBY fighting in the style of Blazblue so this is interesting news. Shame this didn't happen 2 years ago.

>RWBY

I wish this IP would have died along with Monty

What a bunch of gay bullshit

>trash director likes trash series
Pottery

Anyone seen that chibi shit?

Kinda always wanted to make a 3D anime like RWBY going of all the money, prestige and money it made. How to do it and not have it be another dumpster fire?

Not yet, I don't really plan on doing so for a while.

Well, for one, I'd say using proper 3D animating software.

Learn how to do decent animation, know how to write a decent story, and maybe hire some actual voice actors.

Something closer to TvC would work a lot better since the show already has a 2 person team thing going on.

I may or may not have done some notes on how a RWBY fighter would work.

Appealing characters and (barely) passable action can carry you pretty far, I feel. That's how I saw the whole thing scrape by.

I still don't get the drama behind Season 3.

What's with the copypasta I've read about Monty's buddy trying to salvage Season 3 even though the story of Season 3 is okay even if the fight scenes are bad?

Why do I keep hearing about Monty's wife intentionally killing him?

>Why do I keep hearing about Monty's wife intentionally killing him?

I um. What? Gimmie the gossip

Fine, but it's just a rumor, m'kay?

I was told that his wife gave him something, I don't remember which, I think it's either food or flowers, which caused him to be hospitalized in the first place.

Then she tried to get royalties for being the wife of the creator of RWBY

>RWBY
This shit's still going? Didn't that hack fuck die?

he gets married
wife has a cat
guy is deadly allergic
goes to take treatment on it
complications happen
guy dies
widow raised money for treatment, didn't use it for said treatment, kept the money to herself

after that, shit gets sketchier to follow.

>This shit's still going? Didn't that hack fuck die?
Creators may die, but cash cows live forever my friend!

Monty was just about the only person on the project that wasn't a hack. The action was good. The derivative anime style, terrible writing and amateurish voice acting were why I couldn't finish.

I only watched it for yang, eventually the world sucked me in and now i cant get enough of it.

Then Japan has good tastes for once.

>I only watched it for yang
so did I and I was fucking disappointed. She didn't exist in Volume 1 and almost didn't exist again in Volume 2 then Volume 3 comes only for her to get shit on.

She gave Blake her character development.

>Monty didn't live to see this
;-;

>Toshimichi Mori, Creator of BlazBlue, wants to make a RWBY fighting game
As if we'd need more proof that Mori is a fucking retard.

Really? I forgot what Blake's development was.
>Volume 1 was the Weiss and Blake show
>By the end of volume 1 Blake is supposed to trust her friends, work together with said friends and not keep secrets
>Volume 2, Blake is still trying to do everything herself despite all of what happened in Volume 1
>Volume 3, The Yang and Mercury incident happens and Blake doesn't trust Yang right away even though she was apart of a terrorist group and they trusted her with everything
I can't tell if she's gotten better or regressed

I'd watch them give each other their character development if you know what I mean.

Monty was overrated.

Hmm. Not really.

bruh, rwby may be shit but it's crawling with waifus. perfect to replace BB once that's done for a while.

>RBWY on Xrd Engine

I loved his work but I agree. Doesn't mean I'm not sad he's gone.

>The action was good
My fucking sides.
This garbage looks terrible and the animation is terrible.

Mite b cool. The show's kind of eh but the waifus are superb and the soundtracks perfect fighting game buttrock. It's be better than the game that exists right now..

Considering that was the one thing Monty was worth half a fuck at I would legitimately like you to do better

>It would sell more than street fighter 5

The action was good. Not excellent, often over the top, but good. Monty's noncombat animations were terrible but there was never any pretense to the contrary there.

I'd rather an RPG or even a VN 2bh. I suck at fighters but would rather something better than the game that's out now.

Could you imagine what would happen if, hypothetically, RWBY usurped BlazBlue if not exceeded it? RT would skyrocket.

Mori is shit, his taste is shit, his game is shit, he will always be the B Team who makes and likes trash.

Mori ruined Makoto, the best character. He knows shit about quality.

You know what I've been wanting more and more as of late? A "classic" RPG to play. Something along the lines of Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, or Secret of Mana where I can just sit down and enjoy the ride. I'm glad Persona 5 and FFXV are coming out son, but I still crave shit like the classics.

>he will always be the B Team who makes and likes trash.
You mean the trash that kept ASW afloat for years and made Xrd a possibility?

Y'all better buy I Am Setsuna then.

Of fucking course he does. Bootleg guilty gear man wants to make bootleg anime bullshit video game.

Go for it, I'm sure it'll be an embarrassing disaster.

and really ASW main source of money

they better have the alt outfits as an option

Yeah that, which makes link related even more suspicious

Reading it from an unbiased point of view, Monty is still a hack who only knows how to animate action scenes and either can't write a story properly or his story is riddled with the worst cliche in a chinese cartoon.

Whoever wrote this is kind of a whiney lapdog who can't follow orders.

Monty and Shane being gone is probably the best thing that ever happened to this series

I'd probably play it.
The show is god awful the 3rd season was okay once HAPPENING began, but that may be just because I've been wanting the plot to advance for so fuckin' long.
The character designs are good enough for a fighting game, and there's a lot of fight material to work with.

It'd definitely be better than the shitty RWBY game that's out now.

You act like BB was the only thing they worked on during that time, and any ties to Xrd financially are speculation at best. ASW was working on an anime style toon shader for years, the tech was constantly in production and they eventually decided to bring that tech to GG so they could faithfully recreate a 2D game in 3D. BB didn't do shit.

>Monty is still a hack who only knows how to animate action scenes
By copying the choreography of movies like the Matrix trilogy.

GG was tied with Sammy and Battle Fantasia flopped. It's clear that Blazblue was designed to be their big revenue generator, and it's success led to Xrd.

>it's success led to Xrd.
Feel free to stop with the wild speculation any time now. BB was filler because they didn't have the full rights to GG. Once they got the rights back they made a GG game. How fucking crazy.

>blazblue has like a million games/expanions/dlcs
>has merchandise, anime, radio dramas, toys

How anyone can make it past two fucking episodes of the first season is mind boggling to me. The writing, characterization, animation, voice acting (that blonde gay male friend jesus christ) everything was deviantart tier. No amount of rationalization could ever make it appear any better. I don't care if it's free, it's the fucking internet mother fucker you can get lots of shit for free.

but it's obviously not even the main game of the company any more. it shares it's spot with blazblue, which brings in much more money not only from the arcades but from all the franchise merch.

>Could easily write something better than RWBY
>But because I'm not in the right place at the right time with the right connections, I don't get to make a series that gets hugely popular

I know life aint fair, but it sucks to be reminded.
RWBY is literally Naruto fanfiction tier stuff, but survives solely based on a horrible fanbase and above average female design.

Lets be real, Xrd is a vanity project. It's still a decent success, and it's western support is kind of unprecedented in terms of anime fighters, but it's still playing second fiddle to BB currently.

>two... episodes
Try four. The Scorpion/Bird scene is what really hooked most of us.

I did watch the entire first season, cringing the entire time. I wouldn't have done it but I had to know what the fuck anyone saw in it.

Did you buy her game, Sup Forums?

Monty's wife didn't kill him. Shane worshipped Monty but that letter he wrote smeared the image Monty left with a lot of people

>Meets a girl and marries he over the course of a year
>Wife tried to get credit for RWBY despite not working at Rooster Teeth
>When RT wouldn't let her join the production, Monty started working from home so they wouldn't be separated
>Monty was planning a coup against RT to take some of their employees and the RWBY IP from them, then move to LA

Sounds like his relationship with his wife was rooted in infatuation, but the dude worked nonstop so I can't criticize. That being said, I don't know how he was planning to claim ownership of RWBY, considering the only way he was able to make it was through Rooster Teeth. No way he could have done the same just on his own.

>Wife wants a cat
>Monty is allergic to cats
>Starts getting allergy shots but has an allergic reaction to it
>Goes into coma

You know the rest.

Shane's letter was fucking kooky. He clearly wrote it in the throngs of depression and I hope he gets help. I don't think RT would take legal action on him.

>I wouldn't have done it but I had to know what the fuck anyone saw in it.
The same thing everyone sees in Skullgirls or KS:
Waifus

>Animated 10 seasons of a fucking Halo machinima turned garbage sci-fi series
>ask boss "hey can I make an anime"
>yeah as long as you finish season 11 of the Halo thing

He started his career doing absolute shit, and ended it doing absolute shit.

Waifu
Action scenes
Few of the rough diamonds in a pile of dirt that is Western Animation

>But it's cringey. There's no characterization

We're on Sup Forums. We are not far away from the board that talks about their Meme Waifu of the Season. People will totally tolerate anything for their waifu

But it looks boring

Fuck, man, I don't want to think about sad shit right now

>>Meets a girl and marries he over the course of a year

Were they really together for only a year? He mentioned a long term girlfriend on his blog if I recall

The retards always get the opportunities, glad he's dead.

That was another woman. Sexy flip with huge boobs. There are pictures of her on his deviantart, she is the fem-squall cosplayer. The woman he ended up marrying he knew for nowhere near as long.

woah dude did monty fuck your girlfriend or something?

I don't know what "KS" is but Ahad's setting and characterization is a hell of a lot better than Naruto meets Hogwarts.

KS is the cripple VN.

>Ahad's setting and characterization
The majority of which is taken from and mixed with other sources.

Depends on which version of Makoto they copy/paste I don't want Yang to be dumpster tier right outta the gate.
