She could be a set up character, this class in fighting games are characters that are not good on the field except they have tools to help the other on field character like a powerful assist, heals and good special moves. An example is Krillin in dbfz his normals are stubby but he has a really good assist and a senzu beam that heals
I think Samira could be what Jamie currently is at Street Fighter 6, getting new moves with each style. Riven was made to be a fighting game character in terms of gameplay with combos and animation cancels so it wouldn't be a surprise. Sett would make a great grappler I suppose, getting more grit as his hp gets lower which he can use to turn the tables. Orianna can be a potential puppet character. Shaco is most likely will be in it. He is perfect with his clone and boxes.
Samira I can agree. Sett is a meh, he's too copy/pasta of another fighting game character. Riven is a hard pass, no one plays her in SR and the only notable thing shes been in was Noxian Nights
Look. If we’re gonna have unpopular characters too. I’m pulling for Tahm Kench. Big heavyweight fighter, long range normals with the tongue whips, ranged grappler moves a la Birdie from Street Fighter… And as a tag fighter, imagine tagging in an assist that instead of being an attack, eats your ally to protect them from an attack or give them a super armor shield for a bit? It writes itself.
Gwen would actually be an interesting addition as a high attack speed, combo fighter for Shadow Isles. If she gets her mist she can ignore zoners, and otherwise is all about getting her rapid snips to deal damage, so low normal damage, but have it add to a counter for dem serious snips. Her league kit is pretty much perfect for this.
Doesn't make much sense as Gwen is an enemy of the Shadow Isles, but they could add her regardless of that. I think it's a little stupid to try to give all regions representation. They should add cool characters that feel good to play instead of favoring champions for their background.
@@Faude18 Gwen would be a 100% cool character to play though I could definitely see her movement and fighting style similar to Es in Blazblue Honestly, I just kinda want Sona, Vex, or Gwen Otherwise, so far, I'm gonna be using Ahri (problem is Ahri is gonna be an incredibly mainstream pick, so I want good characters that aren't mainstream) I don't really care about any of the other characters so far, so right now my team is Darius and Ahri. And the worst characters so far are Echo and the weird ass half shave atlantis looking ass woman, you won't catch me dead using those things.
Actually instead of a zoner I vote that Vex plays more like Zato, a difficult execution puppet character who can put you in The Blender if you don't respect their pressure. It would make sense considering both of them have extremely similar abilities
Gnar would be such a cool inclusion. Imagine the mini with a smaller hit box but less damage, and you build up a rage meter into mega, which deals more damage but has a bigger hit box. 2 completely different fighters jammed into 1 and allows for skill expression as well.
Sett, Jax, Alistar and Draven are shadow-confirmed by their lore. They all just met recently and are planning on getting into arenas together... So yeah, kinda hinting them taking part in project L
My silly stupid opinion is that they should add Tristana and Teemo on top of each other (like 2 kids in a trenchcoat) to fix the hit box problem and to get 2 yordles in for the price of one.
@@MatthewNotSoFriendlyNeighbor Nah.. Probably half-rushdown half- grappler as Sett isn't really a full-on wrestler, but a fighter. He's more like punch, punch, punch and more punches similar to characters like Broly (DBFZ) or Soriz (GBVS). But his ultimate finisher better be his Show Stopper. So, he better have atleast one command-grab move.
It’s the only champ I genuinely like and the reason why I still play League. If he isn’t in Project L then I don’t think there would be a reason for me to buy the game on its release 😅
He has a decent shot honestly - fairly popular, unique, fulfills a pre-established fighting game archetype. Sure he's not Yasuo but he could still sneak in.
His chances are honestly not THAT low. Faust from Guilty Gear is a pretty similar character and he has been a well established part of that franchise for literally decades
Would absolutely love it if they managed to pull off Kayn’s two different play styles. Some how incorporating his transformation mid game would be something.
Sett and Jack the Winner sound like a pretty good duo DLC down the line. It'd be criminal to exclude Sett from the fighting game and Jack's the best partner he could have that he actually has a connection to.
Plenty of people theorized Samira was made specifically *for* Project L, considering the time of her release fits neatly with when the game would've been in the early concept stage. I mean considering that she's a massive reference to Dante, and Dante has kinda become the unofficial mascot of MVC, it'd make a lot of sense if she was always planned to be in from the get-go
sett is the perfect fit for a fighting game, hes already in the soul fighter event for that reason, he punches people and suplexs people, and is a pitfighter and he is also pretty popular because handsome man big muscles so I think sett should absolutely be included in project L
Vex is a really good idea, but there's another way to have a tall yordle that you've overlooked: Veigar standing on the shoulders of two of his minions, wearing a long robe over them.
A fun combo could be Thresh and Mordekaiser. You see Thresh in Noxus in the Wild Rift trailer, so a potential plot for a story mode for this game could be about Thresh seeking out Mordekaiser.
I know exactly what this video is about, but having english as my second language I could not hear anything else than "Darius has a few more SLUTS behind him"
I feel like Azir would be the "Noob Saibot" character, while I think fiddle should be a "Double" from Skullgirls type of character, just a very flexible blob that has no actual form, who's abilities are just other characters' abilities
@@pocketglove When someone says the name Fiddlesticks, copying other's abilities isn't what comes to mind. Would be huge waste turning him into Double, we wanna see lanky scythe attacks and scarecrow summoning.
@AboveW after I wrote it, maybe the Double character type would fit more for Zac, since he's yk a blob, but with Fiddle's kit in the game I feel like he would be like a zoner? long range attacks with his sythe, he can throw out long range attacks like his AA's or Q, include a few attacks where he throws out his scarecrows, maybe he can pull opponents in and then use a move like his ult thats very close range? idk
Since I'm really excited with the possibilities of character pairs in this game, here's all my ideas beyond the expansion packs already mentioned in the video: - Hextech Creators (Viktor/Jayce) - Zaunite Lurkers (Warwick/Zac) - Demigod Brothers (Volibear/Ornn) - Distant Lovers (Udyr/Lee Sin) - Ascendant Brothers (Renekton/Nasus) - Shuriman Rivals (Azir/Xerath) - Enchanting Opposites (Seraphine/Renata Glasc) - Partners in Crime (Graves/TF) - Darkin Siblings (Varus/Naafiri) - Justice Sisters (Morgana/Kayle) - Space Puppy (Zoe/A. Sol) OR Dragon Keeper (Pantheon/A. Sol) - Demacian Justice (Garen/Fiora) OR Unlikely Lovers (Garen/Katarina) - Rulers of Demacia (Jarvan IV/Shyvanna) - Sentinels of Light (Senna/Lucian) - Hunting Rivals (Rengar/Kha'zix) - Master and Apprentice (Akali/Shen) - Lovebirds (Xayah/Rakan) - Ruined and Hallowed (Viego/Gwen) - Gladiators (Draven/Riven) - Pit Fighters (Sett/Jack maybe???) Finnaly, I was going to put Kayn and Zed in the same pack, but I think there's a better idea: Two Futures pack, with Blue Kayn and Rhaast. Does that make sense? Not really, but I'll be damned if it's not sick as hell. Also, I personally doubt Lux and Galio are gonna be together. I'm thinking either Liberators for Sylas/Lux or Petricite for Sylas/Galio.
i really like your expansion ideas, but i think it would be cooler instead of xayah and Rakan, having only Xayah and she being able to call rakan to asist her during combat (like A18 calling 17 in DBFZ), and Also a "Figthers for Icathia" expansion with jax, okay i only want jax in the game
If Kaisa would be part of Project L, I can see being a mix of Zoner and Rushdown like how she plays in league. Can poke from afar and then charge in with quick jabs and point-blank shots
@@Blu_Moon_Owl I know. I think he's half joking, but yeah, he clearly never cared abut how to approach zoners and he rather rants about it. I think he also hates the very much because he only plays NRS fighting games IIRCS, and in Injustuce, they made projectiles absurdly overpowered.
The way you organized that final roster looks really nice. Major nations on the top rows, secondaries on the third, and miscellaneous villains on the fourth. Props to the artist. Kindred remains my dream pick and Vex hurts their chances, but I'll gladly take her if it means this is what we get.
I feel like Sylas needs to be there day 1 if there gonna keep his ability to steal ults, might as well put him day 1 so it’s a lot easier down the line.
What do you mean by charge/rushdown character? Can you give me some examples of how that works? I'm not too familiar with fighting game terminology (^-^;
In the initial leak for the roster (which was forever ago now) it included Senna, and now i desperately want to watch her beat someone over the head with the relic cannon, please Riot
3:26 I find it fun because when I'm playing a zoner I'm not playing a zoner. I'm playing a rushdown. You give me a character with different types of projectiles and my brain goes "INVADE HIS PERSONAL SPACE NOW"
You made blitzkrank sound like such a unique and fun character, now i want him to be in the roster so bad. Also wish they add mundo at some point, he could have the funniest animations.
I kinda like this roster, even if there is a little much Zaun for such a limited amount of characters. Also, did you draw those icons, they are amazing.
I want my favorites in Project L so badly and I am glad we are on the same wavelength. Thresh and Evelynn would be amazing! I want to inflict pain onto my opponents with these two!
A solid roster for several future expansions! Can’t wait to see what the team at Project L has in store! I would love to see my boys Pyke or Rakan (duo with Xayah?), but I won’t be too surprised if neither are in the game for a long time
Ngl, with arcane 2 out I predict Warwick is coming to the game and his pair will be Vi while Ekko and Jinx will be paired together. This would play off some connections drawn between Ekko and Jinx- and both being inventor characters and their shared history there should be some nice banter/lines same with Vi and Warwick although we'll mostly need to see Arcane Season 2 to say anything
Awesome to see you put out another Project L video! Really keeps me updated and hyped for the game. I hope the whole pairing schtick will be an actual thing in the game. Also: nice icons!
I do hope Riot won’t do the obvious/popular right off the bat, would love to see champs that the community wouldn’t expect in a fighting game like Sona, Soraka. Just because they are known for only healing in League, doesn’t mean they are incapable to fight
Of the enchanters I'd be leaning towards Janna. Sona is powerful but she's a mind control musician I don't think she'd translate well, same for soraka. Janna though I think has a moveset that can sort of translate- she can launch tornadoes, perhaps use her bird as a projectile and have knockbacks for her assist moves.
The concept of vex as a puppet character didn’t even occur to me until I saw your thumbnail but I’d be SO down for that. Love the ideas presented here and agree with virtually all of em, I’m genuinely excited for this game and it may be one of the few fighting games that get added to the list of ones I like!
What do you mean by 10 slots? If this will be the live service game, the rooster will be increased like league with new champions every 3 months. That's like the point of the game to not make it Mortal Kombat 2.0 with every new part costing $70.
Finally someone with a brain it feels like almost everyone here, Nicky included, are a bunch of braindeads that ignore the fact that this is a f2p live service fighting game that won't have any "dLc PaCkS"
I really think (and hope) akali will be on the roster because a fan made a complete akali model. After that the fan got hired by riot onto this game if I remember correctly
The shovel wielding gigachad Yorick himself would make me very happy, but Riot can't even remember if he's from their franchise or not so I highly doubt he's getting added.
5:49 Rising thunder has a community edition. and it was re-released in a reddit post. The game is playable it's just not as popular as it once was when radiant was around.
Imagine pantheon, initiating an advance with his shield, a barrage of spears and then using his ultimate ability, knocking up and ascending the enemy to the skies, taking him to the stars and then descending in an explosion
riven, samira, sett, lee sin, qiyana, evelyn, irelia, jax, vayne(zoner), katarina, leona, diana, master yi, xin zhao there are SO many that i can see in this game im drooling with the idea of them...
I want them to add Nunu and Willump, either as seperate characters or as some form of ice climbers because it would be so hilarious to have a literal child gremlin going around throwing snowballs and then a humunguous yeti monster that does massive close range meelee damage
first DLC i wanna see is khazix vs rengar just like for wild rift their rivalry is way too iconic to miss on in a fighting game and just importing their kits from league gives them great tools for a fighting game. i theorycrafted how khazix could look like there already alongside this evoltion mechanic and im pretty proud of what ive craeted and sad it wont get to see the light od the day
you forgot sion . sion is perfect for project L bcs we will have the after death sion boxing and also sett is perfect and for shadowiles yorick also good as summon champion or spawner
When Nick started talking about what void champion riot will add in 10:25 i was sure he was going to say Bel'veth since she's the least monster champion in the void... but i totally forgot Kai'sa is a """"void"""" champion
as much as i'd like a diverse cast i think there are some locks like caitlyn, vi, jayce, and eventually viktor who'll be in since the developers said the game is in the same universe as arcane.
Out of all the yordles Kled would likely be the most fitting candidate for the fighting game as they can just use the combined height of Kled riding on top of Skaarl for an approriately sized hitbox - dismounting could potentially serve as an opportunity cost for both Kled and the enemy, with dismounted Kled having a smaller shorter hitbox but it would be more susceptible to something like air juggling combos etc - maybe Kled could have a unique interaction through the assist mechanic where he can instead of a normal champion order Skaarl as his assist mechanic to for bonus effects and combos, or potentially to summon it back with his signature Courage-mechanic and recovering a portion of its health back
Fun fact. A fan made a model of what Project L Akali would like like and was later hired to collaborate on the project. Meaning she is all but confirmed at minimum as DLC.
Yummi could probably be a pretty interesting character who has a pretty bottom of the line move set but her assists could be better and deal more damage than a normal character.
How is Sett not in the game already. He was built to feel like a fighting game character, looks like a fighting game character and was released around the time they announced this game. Give him a kit kinda like Alex from SF and we are golden.
little does he know that all off the remaining slots are being taken up by shaco and his clones
We will still not get a drop of shaco lore regardless
Poppy gets past the height problem in the same way Charlotta does in Granblue Versus. You make the weapon count as part of her hitbox.
I was thinking the same thing
It would be hilarious if Yuumi was in project L just imagine forcing your teammate to do everything and yourself not doing nothing
That will be the funniest shit they ever pull.
They should release Yuumi for April Fools
She could be a set up character, this class in fighting games are characters that are not good on the field except they have tools to help the other on field character like a powerful assist, heals and good special moves. An example is Krillin in dbfz his normals are stubby but he has a really good assist and a senzu beam that heals
Plot twist: Yuumi will actually be the most powerful character and carry everyone
Would be funny if she was like Mokujin, instead of having her own style, she climbs on a random champ and makes the champ to fight for her
Aatrox and Pantheon: "Godly Rivals" expansion
Vex would 1000% be a puppet master, the fact that most of them are zoners is beside the point.

Except she’s a puppet character, not a zoner
OMG YES puppet fits her so much more than zoner
I think Azir would make a better puppet character
@@valianthero true
Zato-core for masochist-flexing inclined players
With all due respect, fuck zoners.
What if we just… didn’t include them in the first place? Can someone outline the problem to me?
In the initial leak for the roster (which was forever ago now) it included Senna, and now i desperately want to watch her beat someone over the head with the relic cannon, please Riot
all i want is pantheon and sett to be in project L they would be perfect
3:26 I find it fun because when I'm playing a zoner I'm not playing a zoner. I'm playing a rushdown.
You give me a character with different types of projectiles and my brain goes "INVADE HIS PERSONAL SPACE NOW"
You made blitzkrank sound like such a unique and fun character, now i want him to be in the roster so bad. Also wish they add mundo at some point, he could have the funniest animations.
I kinda like this roster, even if there is a little much Zaun for such a limited amount of characters. Also, did you draw those icons, they are amazing.
I want my favorites in Project L so badly and I am glad we are on the same wavelength. Thresh and Evelynn would be amazing! I want to inflict pain onto my opponents with these two!
You disrespected the rumble main that is Snnuy, but you added Fiddlesticks so it’s fiiiiiine
Vex could be similar to Guilty Gear's Zato=1. You would also be ticking "puppeteer" from the fighting game archetype list
I was waiting for this exact video expecting it to never come out thanks for making it
A solid roster for several future expansions! Can’t wait to see what the team at Project L has in store!
I would love to see my boys Pyke or Rakan (duo with Xayah?), but I won’t be too surprised if neither are in the game for a long time
Ngl, with arcane 2 out I predict Warwick is coming to the game and his pair will be Vi while Ekko and Jinx will be paired together. This would play off some connections drawn between Ekko and Jinx- and both being inventor characters and their shared history there should be some nice banter/lines same with Vi and Warwick although we'll mostly need to see Arcane Season 2 to say anything
I love seeing your content on project L you're being like the bridge between league players and the fgc, riot should've invited you to play as well
Awesome to see you put out another Project L video! Really keeps me updated and hyped for the game. I hope the whole pairing schtick will be an actual thing in the game.
Also: nice icons!
I do hope Riot won’t do the obvious/popular right off the bat, would love to see champs that the community wouldn’t expect in a fighting game like Sona, Soraka. Just because they are known for only healing in League, doesn’t mean they are incapable to fight
No bro! It looks like Soraka or Vayne in top lane, or Swain in support. I think they don't fit here
Of the enchanters I'd be leaning towards Janna. Sona is powerful but she's a mind control musician I don't think she'd translate well, same for soraka. Janna though I think has a moveset that can sort of translate- she can launch tornadoes, perhaps use her bird as a projectile and have knockbacks for her assist moves.
No
well all picks have been obvious/popular till now, with the exception of a moderately popular Darius so I know Riot will do exactly that.
@@hamdepaf6686Also illaoi
Sett would be the perfect fighter for Project L ngl, he got every Tekken vibes
Cant wait for the 5 stages of grief you feel when Seraphine is both included in the game AND is made a zoner.
She could be a rushdown character. Low damage zoner but can be played riskily to go in with her double cast mechanic
Project L but 100s of playable characters in about 20 years
im a sej main and i would want nothing more than for sej to be included and for bristle to be his own playable character
You know you need a fighter in a fighting game, so lee sin is a must
Thats what im saying
Jinx is probably ekko's pair. I think if vi is added Cait will be a zoner in project L
No biltzcrank makes more sense then jinx if we go of canon lore
@@pokemonlover4894 if we go by canon lore then Ekko is Jinx's pair, after all Vi is a Piltover champion
@@unnameddemon8494 vi is from zaun and ekko hates jinx lore wise
@@pokemonlover4894 Vi is considered a Piltover champion by Riot, the same way Taric is considered a Targon champion even through he is from Demacia
@@pokemonlover4894 but he had a crush on her
13:33 *and Necrit took that personally*
what if shaco was a fighter
The concept of vex as a puppet character didn’t even occur to me until I saw your thumbnail but I’d be SO down for that. Love the ideas presented here and agree with virtually all of em, I’m genuinely excited for this game and it may be one of the few fighting games that get added to the list of ones I like!
What do you mean by 10 slots? If this will be the live service game, the rooster will be increased like league with new champions every 3 months. That's like the point of the game to not make it Mortal Kombat 2.0 with every new part costing $70.
Fighting games dont need alot of characters tho I can imagine up to 6 dlc characters
He's referring to the base roster. Obviously the cast will increase he's just predicting what we get starting out.
congrats at not listening to the video lmao
@@Blthze congrats for not noticing its comment from 6h hours ago
Finally someone with a brain it feels like almost everyone here, Nicky included, are a bunch of braindeads that ignore the fact that this is a f2p live service fighting game that won't have any "dLc PaCkS"
Kai'sa should've never existed in the first place. She's like a bruise that never goes away.
So far so good with Braum
can't wait to try this game out when it realeases, also great video
All im saying is aatrox would bang in project l and underated pick would probably be rumble in project l
Rumble would be amazing but 80% of league players forget he exists so I don't think he's making the cut
@@alejandropetit6573 because he still has an outdated model. LoR rumble looks great
Honestly bet they throw Ryze in there. He's definitely one of their poster children and I think he'd have potential
I really think (and hope) akali will be on the roster because a fan made a complete akali model. After that the fan got hired by riot onto this game if I remember correctly
The Evelynn pick made me so happy thank you nicky for remebering evelynn players exist
I would love to see Xin Zhao actually, he'd be so fun
yeah, but sadly he's is forgettable, is hard to imagine him in the base roster
I love the fact that he lightly taps that suppressed nightmare fuel that is VHS FNAF but makes it bearable
They added Braum!!!
I’m so hyped for this game and I really want to see some monster champ rep
Funny League of Fighters would've been a better name.
The shovel wielding gigachad Yorick himself would make me very happy, but Riot can't even remember if he's from their franchise or not so I highly doubt he's getting added.
5:49 Rising thunder has a community edition. and it was re-released in a reddit post. The game is playable it's just not as popular as it once was when radiant was around.
there are definitely loads of characters deserving a slot in the game BUT your list was spot on. vex was my pick for a zoner too
I feel like riven would be in the game. She is literally the combo champion both in league and lor so I think she would be included in project L too
Imagine pantheon, initiating an advance with his shield, a barrage of spears and then using his ultimate ability, knocking up and ascending the enemy to the skies, taking him to the stars and then descending in an explosion
riven, samira, sett, lee sin, qiyana, evelyn, irelia, jax, vayne(zoner), katarina, leona, diana, master yi, xin zhao
there are SO many that i can see in this game im drooling with the idea of them...
We need Mordekaiser too this champ will be true fear for players.
Braum has been annouced, this list is looking promising
I want them to add Nunu and Willump, either as seperate characters or as some form of ice climbers because it would be so hilarious to have a literal child gremlin going around throwing snowballs and then a humunguous yeti monster that does massive close range meelee damage
bro sett was made FOR THIS game
I was imagine what happened if Eve get added to Project L
The "Wind and Stone in the funny gnome game" joke got me
first DLC i wanna see is khazix vs rengar
just like for wild rift
their rivalry is way too iconic to miss on in a fighting game and just importing their kits from league gives them great tools for a fighting game. i theorycrafted how khazix could look like there already alongside this evoltion mechanic and im pretty proud of what ive craeted and sad it wont get to see the light od the day
Coming back to this video after Braum released, another prediction down 🥳🥳
6:54 "freljord rep something ending in ive" REPRESENTATIVE
I feel like a Shen and Zed/ Kayn and Akali would go crazy for future dlcs
you forgot sion . sion is perfect for project L bcs we will have the after death sion boxing and also sett is perfect and for shadowiles yorick also good as summon champion or spawner
When Nick started talking about what void champion riot will add in 10:25 i was sure he was going to say Bel'veth since she's the least monster champion in the void... but i totally forgot Kai'sa is a """"void"""" champion
as much as i'd like a diverse cast i think there are some locks like caitlyn, vi, jayce, and eventually viktor who'll be in since the developers said the game is in the same universe as arcane.
Out of all the yordles Kled would likely be the most fitting candidate for the fighting game as they can just use the combined height of Kled riding on top of Skaarl for an approriately sized hitbox - dismounting could potentially serve as an opportunity cost for both Kled and the enemy, with dismounted Kled having a smaller shorter hitbox but it would be more susceptible to something like air juggling combos etc - maybe Kled could have a unique interaction through the assist mechanic where he can instead of a normal champion order Skaarl as his assist mechanic to for bonus effects and combos, or potentially to summon it back with his signature Courage-mechanic and recovering a portion of its health back
Fun fact. A fan made a model of what Project L Akali would like like and was later hired to collaborate on the project. Meaning she is all but confirmed at minimum as DLC.
nah
6:35 As a former Braum main when I used to play League, yeah. I don't think I ever met another Braum main.
Yummi could probably be a pretty interesting character who has a pretty bottom of the line move set but her assists could be better and deal more damage than a normal character.
How is Sett not in the game already. He was built to feel like a fighting game character, looks like a fighting game character and was released around the time they announced this game. Give him a kit kinda like Alex from SF and we are golden.
Sett does not look like a fighting game character at all LMAO
Not putting Violet in this game would be malpractice
