  • What if Demi-fiend, Nahobino, Raidou, Ringo, and all your other favorites from SMT could duke it out? It would be the coolest. This is the greatest video game of all time and it will never exist.

    You didn't mention Serph as a character concept, so I'll put forth some of my ideas.
    1) Given how intrinsically tied the two characters are in the DDS duology, I'd imagine Serph and Sera to be echo fighters of each other i.e. essentially identical in how they play, but with some property and animation differences. Ardha could be a Super/Finisher.
    2) Hunt Skills could be adapted for a unique gimmick. For example, it could function as a souped-up block that then fuels a unique "Atma Gauge"for more powerful and faster attacks. Alternatively, if Serph/Sera hits a sweet-spot attack, then the opponent turns blue for a set window of time, during which the next non-ranged attack to them will do significantly more damage.
    3) Another thing from the DDS games you could incorporate is the switching form from Human to Atma Avatar; Human form uses firearms and is more mobile, while Atma Avatar form is more powerful and has more variety, but is slower.
    4) As for stages, Muladhara would be a fine choice; could also have the rest of Team Embryon hanging out in the background. Sahasrara could work too.
    5) Other characters from DDS could perhaps be playable also; I can envision Gale having a particularly unique style from the rest of the roster, and his catchphrase of "I do not comprehend" is an easy include for a taunt.

    I think it'd be pretty easy to differentiate the protagonists of the mainline games in regards to playstyle since Atlus already kinda did that with the Diamond Realm DLC.
    SMT 1 Hero is Phys/Sword skills, Aleph got gun skills, Demi-fiend has all his unique skills and no weapon and Flynn got a magic build. That alone provides a pretty unique blue print for those guys, Nanashi and Nahobino would have to be made from scratch though.

      Having a bunch of unique skills really does help.

    My idea for Serph is to make him like Nagoriyuki, where he's got big buttons but his specials cause his hunger meter to increase. If he lands his command grab (call it Feast since that's the strongest Devour type skill if I recall correctly) the hunger meter decreases, but if it fills up, he goes into his Berserk mode, where he deals more damage but can die in like two hits.

    I always imagine the following archetypes for these characters (all characters do summon demons for their moveset)
    Nahobino- all rounder
    Flynn- The character with a powerful neutral with the smirk mechanic, he fishes for it with his strong buttons.
    Nanashi - Mixup character who uses his friends to pressure you instead of summoning demons
    Demi Fiend- Bully character that shits on you if you make one mistake (kind of like actual nocturne)
    Space Marine - Zoner that has a several follow up attack if their demon hits the enemy, kind of like Baiken's parry (supposed to reflect coop attack)

    I think Serph could make for a really sick grappler. Needs to get in close to eat you. Have him balancing a hunger meter; the longer he goes without grabbing/biting you, the closer it gets to empty. It'd be kinda like Nago in Strive where the closer to berserk he gets, the bigger and harder hitting, but slower and more punishable his moves would become. Serph could have Sera or Gale as his assist, with Sera singing the song which resets Serph's gauge even in the middle of combos, letting him either panic reset the bar, or go from big attacks with huge hitstun and shift into a bunch of smaller, faster hits to combo. Gale could use Pyripgelethon, bombing the screen like Faust meteor, locking the opponent down so Serph can get in quick. Where Chiaki would be more like Pot or Gief, Serph would feel more like Manon or Nago, much more based on footsies and more mobile than Chiaki.
    As for a stage to come with Serph, obviously the sun would sick af, but if we were to go as spoiler free as we can, maybe it'd be the Embryon base, or Coordinate 136. We could see the other Embryon in the bg like smash dlc stages.
    Also, the funniest character would be Stephen, but making him like Phoenix in MvC, where if he gets full meter before dying, he revives, and stands up out of his wheelchair. Stephen goes from bottom 3 to top 1 instantly.

      Honestly as a follow-up to that I just considered, maybe have that lean into different aspects of what you were suggesting for his kit, where Angel zelenin focuses on the trapping aspect of his character where she like, binds and pacifies the enemy with her song long enough to line up a combo or super. Then fused Jimenez could lean into what you were talking about with like, him being able to go from zoning into teleporting in with a phase shift type super, where jiminez could be an add onto the combo with a big burst of fire magic or some savage swiping claw attacks. Honestly space marine could be fun in a game like this lol that’s a brain worm for me

    I feel like for SMT if, instead of using a protag, you could use Hazama and his demon partner would be his giant Demon Emperor form. Kind of like how Labrys' Persona is in P4A, but with Hazama having the SMT 1 Hero style of combat (but way weaker). Basically he'd be a stand character focusing on his demon partner instead of dealing damage himself.

  • @jekfrumstotferm9830
    @jekfrumstotferm9830 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Some other ideas for characters that I think would be cool:
    A dual Nakajima and Yumiko, potentially being a stance character or just both being on the field at the same time.
    Tamaki from if... with a mechanic like what you suggested for Aleph, where she changes up her playstyle if she loses a round.
    I think the demon loyalty mechanic you guys jokingly mentioned for the SH protag would make for a fun concept for Kyoji.
    A group of Jack Frost-likes similar to Synchronicity Prologue.
    Of course, I don't see ATLUS making another crossover spinoff without Persona, so some characters they could add/that I would probably expect them to add from each game:
    Persona 1: Earring, Mark, Maki
    Persona 2: Tatsuya, Maya, Yukino, Katsuya
    Persona 3: Makoto, Akihiko, Aigis, Yukari
    Persona 4: Narukami, Teddie, Chie, Naoto
    Persona 5: Joker, Morgana, Makoto, Sumi, Akechi
    If we wanna get into some real crack territory:
    One, or both, of the DemiKids GBA protags
    Anything from Last Bible or Majin Tensei
    The TMS FE protag with assists of various Fire Emblem characters
    The Dx2 protag with assists of Bayonetta, Guts, and Sonic
    A Durarara character

    That bit with the SH1 protag being the "demon ally" to Nemissa is something I can totally see the hypothetical devs doing if they decide to go all in on the wordplay and attention to detail, since Megami Tensei technically has its own unique term for demon allies, at least in the Japanese text: They use "nakama" (companion, partner, ally, etc.; sometimes used to refer to RPG party members), except the "ma" is written with the kanji used in "akuma" (demon). While the rest of the assist characters would be nakamas as established in MegaTen lexicon, the SH1 protag would instead be a nakama in the traditional sense.

    Unironically I want a Megaten party game because it would be super fucked and it's not limited to appealing to children. Party games are already super choice heavy to begin with, adding alignments and randomized demon negotiation on top of it would be super fun. Lets say if you have a playstyle that relies heavily on luck dice rolls or items that have a degree of chance to them, you'll be chaos aligned because of the freedom/unknown factor for example. The roster and boards/maps for this would go fucking hard. I imagine instead of stars you'd collect the most demon sponsors to form your reason and win the game. The world needs more games in the Party genre besides Mario, make it happen Atlus.

    • @polyman6859
      @polyman6859 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lets say the one to convince the most demon sponsers through negotiation dialogue wins the game.
      Players have a choice to go for the law, chaos, or neutral aligned demons on the board. Travelling there means making dice roll. Minigame rewards will cut out incorrect dialogue options, lessen the joining fee, and reduce the item request upon each sponsor. At the very end, the person who fed their demonic sponsors the most items, macca, or demons(by sacrifice or just by fusing two sponsors together) will win by destroying the other players and their sponsors who had less investment.

    I got ideas for how we could have the Persona protags show up and then some: All main male protags plus Adatchi, Aketchi... and Narolepotep. Let me explain:
    - Yu and Joker are close to how they play already: Yu is rounded, Joker is rushdown from hell. Makoto aka Door kun would be the zoner. All persona protags call their party menbers. So well we got Sees and IG down but ideas like Haru getting her persona in possition to reign a bunch of bullets that Joker can combo from. Also Akihito has the "million fucking punches" thing so Makoto could charge up a big ass lazer to combo from. P4 is just the BBTAG stuff lol. They can also evole their personas mid match and gain different properties and instakills. Normally it's a all out attack with who you have (yep, we will have lines pop up from other party menbers for memes) and then a solo instakill with the install active (ie Yu's base instakill, sin bullet, and turning someone into a door or some shit)
    - No clue for earring kun lol besides well rounder but with gun. Also final form persona the whole time
    - Tatsuya would be a rekka fighter who has some heavy hitting moves but needs to charge them. You can mix IS and EP menbers but the one you pick first choses the instant kill. He has Apollo the whole time.
    - Adatchi just needs weird ass assits
    - Aketchi is the evil version so wild rushdown. He can use the same assits as joker and they can use eachother as assits too... but you can also pick the Loki from the original Megami Tensei manga as well.
    - Narly has Lusifer as a assit and is a hybrid of JP from Street Fighter and Zato from Guilty Gear, with him bringing out shadows to fight for him, as a puppet zoner. His intstant kill shows him destroying the universe and then laughing while Aleph and Phimon appear behind him to beat him up.
    Thoughts?

  • @Cloudchaser_K
    @Cloudchaser_K ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I feel like having Abel be the move thief character would make the most sense, bc of Skill Crack, but having them use elemental dance skills for like, projectile carrying combos in their base kit would be cool. Would be sick for them to have a win animation where their own death clock updates from 0.
    As far as stance based characters go, gotta rep DDS with Serph- transforming to confirm off of bullet hits or landmine traps with rushing sword attacks sounds sick as hell, and I'm imagining being able to finish a combo with a fadeaway transformation into human form and buy a little time to set up would make for a nice Faust-esque gameplan, where you play safe at range until you set up your wincon then corner your opponent with surprisingly scary pressure.
    As far as playable and iconic demons go, recency would probably get someone like Amanozako or Fionn McCumhaill, but one of the Fiends could be a good rep- my money's on Matador.
    For stages, having some that shout out other iconic FG stages would be fun. I was thinking the first sector from Strange Journey to spoof the one ice stage from CVS2, with the Red Sprite rocking up instead of the boat, opening up with Demonica clad troops marching out instead of shooting out the flags. Having a fairy village parallel Taokaka's village from Blazblue could be good too, with Jacks getting up to shenanigans in the background. Maybe have certain Jacks show up to cheer on certain characters too, like the Frost Five or Demonee-ho.

I think it’d be really cool, maybe he could even have as ally demons either Jonathan or Walter (and their transformed versions).
    Honestly, a lot of characters could work as install characters.

    I was also thinking saiduq/anguished one would be an awesome character (biased since the devil survivor games are my favorites out of the ones I played and he’s like my 2nd favorite character from them probably) but I was imagining him being less like Bedman and more like some sort of horrid amalgamation of Jack-o, zato and I guess neko arc where he basically has the little flesh baby minions the septentriones throughout the game make that he summons through specials and they can either be set to work automatically or by command and they can do the different attacks those do in the game (fire beams, do the poison thing, just multiply upon being hit to obstruct attacks and be annoying etc) and you can just annoy your opponent with your minions. I also imagine he’d have 2 specials where he transforms into his red crystal thing form, in both he can move around a bit but in one he can take damage but reflects projectiles and in the other he doesn’t reflect anything but is invincible and can dodge or move behind the opponent (again sort of like zato’s vanish move I forget the name of) and there’s no visual indication as to which is being used so only you can tell which one and not your opponent. This idea would probably suck to both play as and against but idk it seems interesting and I just imagined him being more like that than bedman even if I could also see him potentially playing like bedman
    Another idea I’m surprised no one said was one of the people who work the cathedral of shadows; they’d have some sort of macca meter where they can just summon demons to fight for them and if your opponent also has demons in some form you have a special you can use macca to save your opponents demons and then allow them to be summoned into your own move set. They could also have a thing where you can use meter to fuse 2 of your demons currently on screen into something new which would then have new spells to make them do (though of course you couldn’t add too many different possible demons as to not make the game take an extra 5 years purely to create this character). This sounds like an interesting idea to me even if it’s also very “gimmicky” and idk I thought one of you would’ve suggested something similar as I didn’t see a lot of talk about the characters themselves summoning demons which I imagine a lot of characters would

He runs around, whenever he jumps it is with some wonky floaty physics and he just shoots bufu skills at the opponent, and can also summon Pyro Jack and Jack the Ripper (Pyro helps with the zoning and Ripper runs up to the opponent and slashes at them). An alt could be Black Frost, and his super could summon King Frost and make him deliver a stampede of like 50 Frosts that just run over the opponent kinda like how Mufasa died in the Lion King

    I had a funny idea for a Mothman since were talking individual demons as fighters in this hypothetical game, and Mothman is iconic. Mothman has a few sunny things throughout the games like being the ailment man, having zio skills, and learning Spirit Drain throughout multiple games, I had an idea of working in ailments in his kit.
    He'd be a zoner and have Poison Breath to poison enemies and then he has to zone with projectiles like the zio skills in order to keep the poison status (If you've played the fighting game Fantasy Strike, it's somewhat similar to Argagarg's poison fish projectile). Once the enemy comes up close, he gets the opponent in bind with Shibaboo for a few seconds where he can either just do a combo and launch them into zoning range, or use Spirit Drain to knock down the enemy (it also drains Super Meter, assuming this game has it, because it would be funny) and then set up Poison Breath okizeme. He also gets some other fun stuff like a teleport (you could call it Trafuri or something), his zio skills also get shock, or a move that increase duration of the statuses. Idk what his supers would be, probably his Sabbath Skill or his Magatsuhi Skill from SMTV or Megido. He could also fly too because he wings.

Sure, you could take the one of the protagonists, but that would cause conflict because you don't want to turn the SMT game into Persona Arena 2 so you are limited to maybe three, four max characters to add. That's why my Persona pick would be one of the characters who both appear and play an important role in every game: Igor
    Igor would have a moveset that keeps evolving. His forward inputs would all use different demons/persona (for example, 236L would be a different Persona and attack than 236M, this all applies to 623 and 41236 inputs as well as their mirrored variants.)
    After using different specials Igor saves two Persona up and fuses them with a special input. Fusing Persona would power up (Agi to Agilao for example) or change moves (kaja-buffs just turn to Heat Riser). After Igor fused enough his moveset turns a lot more simple and different input variants would actually change to weaker and stronger variants of the same attack. That way you could pretty much build your own main. Igor would potentially be the best character in the game but you need time and either find combo routes or spam to unlock his true potential and your favorite moveset. It surprisingly mirrors the actual fusion process in the Megaten-Series perfectly.

    Personally, i think it should be a 1v1 fighting game, with Demon assists.
    You choose up to 3 demons for a your character to use and that demon has skill they use, be it support, phys, fire, elec, almighty, etc.
    And the demons the characters pull from are the entire demon roster (after you beat story mode)
    But to limit the amount of demons in case for balance, characters will have access to certain amount of demons from the demon pool.
    Meaning SMT 1 MC, can have Cerberus, Eligor, and Kushinada in his set pull, but he can have access to all demons if the assists are set to "all demons" instead of "certain demons".

    Serph and Varna as a Stance fighter would make sense.
    His base stance has him do weak basic punches, kicks and gun-shots, as well as him having a lot of mobility.
    He can transform into Varna to extend his range, at the cost of a reduction in mobility, and it drains this "Atma Meter" (think of it as an SP gauge that drains over time).
    Sera and Varnani could easily work as an eco fighter.

      Maybe the story could have Lucifer declare war on YHVH, and the entire thing could be Light vs Darkness (or Law vs Chaos).
      The alignments would be interesting to analyse (my immediate comparison would be the Light vs Night angle that Castlevania Judgement), but I know for a fact that Demi-Fiend would be Chaos, because it would be based on TDE in Nocturne.
      The story mode would be character specific, and then the final fight would be against Lucifer or YHVH depending on the route.

    Top comment is already DDS love (which the video clearly failed at smh my head) but I'll throw out my own ideas too.
    I think Serph (and/or any other playable characters from the roster) could have a Nagoriyuki style meter to manage. If it gets too low he reverts to a much weaker human form with ideally an entirely different moveset, and if it gets too high he gets a stomachache and becomes slower and less powerful. Not perfect but it's a proof of concept. The different "assists" could be different party members, and the choice slightly changing Serph's moveset too (Argilla makes him more magic focused while Heat gives him a melee advantage, for example). The stage I'd like to see most from those game is the ruined theme park from DDS 1, which really stood out to me when I played through the game.

    Also, Jack Bros rep of Jack Frost, Pyro Jack, and Jack Ripper trio as a fighter would have been a deep but well chosen cut. Also, Mothman needs t be somewhere in this game. I'm not sure how, but Mothman is great.

    You've got to get the Fiends in there somehow, right? Matador seems like the obvious one to make playable. Make him quick with lots of counters and high priority moves, but very punishable on block. Maybe the Riders or Trumpetters can be assists.
    Fionn mac Cumhaill could also be a cool addition, although you've already got a lot of SMT5 reps. Ditto Tao's goddess form.
    Also, you could have bosses like YHVH or Kagutsuchi as giant story bosses akin to Takemikazuchi in BlazBlue or Hi no Kagutsuchi in P4AU.
    An interesting joke character could be The White, who are kind of similar to Inferno or Charade from the Soul series, in that they basically have a random character's moveset (possibly with another random character as an assist, rather than a demon.)

    Or maybe you choose 2 demons for special skills and 1 for summoning assist to extend combos and such.

    so my thoughts on flynn was wildly different i was thinking he would be more on an all rounder using his sword gun and magic but his assists with Walter Jonathon and Isabeau would alter his combo strings to be more combo extension and aggression with better physical rushdown with walter more stun chip damage and easier combo starters with better gun with jonathon and more defensive and support with magic coming from isabeau also since you never dropped a dds rep obviously would make sense to have serph and sera for the picks their ult would involve their fusion in dds 2 and they could transform between human and demon form where human form is more of a zoner and demon form is more rushdown with the rest of the squad as assists also joke character would be the entire jack bros with pyro jack jack frost and jack the ripper tagging in and out like pokemon trainer and would be the only characters to actually use element weakness and resistance to their advantage and disadvantage i also like the idea of making smt 1 protag more sword based and smt 2 protag the more gun based character ala messiahs in the diamond realm since my bias for the idea of metatron being playable with the archangels as backup sounds way cooler to me also the smt if protag could be involved AS the persona style rep due to the whole guardian system if has in fact he could have a comeback mechanic where the lower his hp is the stronger the guardian he calls on is like how your guardian is summoned after you die

    I like the idea that each fighter can pick from 3 unique assist characters each that have 3 bbtag style assist specials, where there's 3 moves each, forward back and neutral, and on the select screen they are displayed as alignments. So like Nahobino's 3 alignments would have you pick Abdiel for Order, Hayataro for Chaos or Amanozako for neutral. I like the idea of Abdiel especially where her focus is giving you combo extentions and each round she gets a little more insane and transforms again so like round 1 is base gold angel doing a simple big sword swings as combo extenders/enders, then round 2 gets the black and red form with the big bat wings and horns where her assist now adds something like a launcher to the back assist or a wall bounce on forward assist so instead of it just knocking them back to full screen they get wall bounced and you can keep the combo going, and then if you get to round 3 she hulks out in the big centaur bull demon whatever form and has all that stuff and her neutral assist becomes a big OTG stomp, so after you extend the combo from the wall bounce with the first bar of assist meter, and they land about mid screen, you can spend the second bar of assist meter to do a big ground stop to pop them back up again to extend the combo a few hits even further. I'm going by the premise that the assists work on a 2 bar meter. I guess hayataro would be focused around giving you good okizeme and like an otg pounce move where he jumps on you and bites your face or throat, and amanozako would be all about giving you stat buffs as installs that last a few seconds. More damage, more speed and rather than just less damage for defense up, it blocks all chip damage so it's good for come backs if you are in range of being killed by chip damage.
