Fan Game Idea (The Idolm@ster Wrestle for You!)

[Heattokun]

Since nothing's been mentioned about possible tagteams

I'll work out some Double/Triple tag team names after some more video gaming

Also,heres a thought: Taking a page from Rumble Roses, why are we having just some Heels and Some Faces? I might work out heel/face versions of existing ideas after some more Punch-Out (6-0-0 record on a new game, going against Great Tiger!)

EDIT: 6-1-0. Choked against GT..As usual.

A small update. This concept is NOT DEAD! There hasn't been any new info in a while, but this is not a dead topic. I have quite a number of characters to announce as I had just gotten done drawing some more Cinderella Girls recently.

In addition, I am now collaborating with Heattokun in terms of ideas and concepts for this if it ever becomes a real game. He even made some Minecraft skins based on the wrestling attires for some of the characters, so stay tuned whenever he is able to get to it.

I will be posting some new characters tonight. Again, this topic is not dead.

(-WARNING! CHALLENGER APPROACHING!-)

Anastasia
Age: 15
Height: 165cm
Weight: 43kg
Birthday: September 19th
Blood Type: O
Three Sizes: 80-54-80
Alignment: Face
Default Tag Partner: Natalia



-Anastasia's story has her enter the ring as she discovers through certain forms of media (i.e. Street Fighter games) that the Russian people are depicted as big, burly, brawling, and overall tough. Anya wanted to show her Russian culture by entering a Wrestling tournament.
-Anastasia has a moveset that revolves around grapples and submissions, but with some decent attacks that cover lots of range.
-Anastasia is a Glass Cannon. She can dish out lots of damage, but can't exactly take it. In addition, she's rather slow, so she's a difficult character to master.

(Anya is a character that I knew I had to incorporate in this game somehow. So she's a referee in the original game, but playable in CLIMAX!! alongside newcomer Natalia as her partner to make the "Token Foreigners" team. Of course, Anastasia's costume is influenced by Zangief from the Street Fighter series, another Russian character in another popular game series from Japan.)

Mio Honda
Age: 15
Height: 161cm
Weight: 46kg
Birthday: December 1st
Blood Type: B-
Three Sizes: 84-58-87
Alignment: Face
Default Tag Partner: Uzuki



-Mio's story has her join the JWSF as a great way to work up her stamina for her idol career.
-You may be wondering, "Why the hell is Mio Honda red?". Because this is to demonstrate her character unique attribute which I dub "Feel the Hot Blood". Basically, Mio has a gauge near her super meter which fills as she fights. When filled, Mio can use the gauge to enter "Hot Blood Mode" which turns her skin red and increases her strength and defense five times more than normal. However, the main drawback is that Mio's HP decreases five times than normal, meaning she goes down QUICK! Hot Blood Mio also releases a lot more blood when taking damage than normal Mio, but that does nothing gameplay-wise. In addition, Hot Blood Mode only lasts a limited time until the gauge depletes and you have to fill it up all over again.
-Mio can be classified in two different categories. Normal Mio is a girl who excels at keeping her opponent in her grasp as well as having an easy time with submissions as well as being quite quick on her feet with LOTS of HP. Hot Blood Mio is an absolute beast at everything, however her HP is horrendous and Mio goes down faster than other characters during this time period. Use Hot Blood Mode wisely.

(I like the New Generation trio and Mio is, hands-down, my favorite of these three characters. Her outfit looks superb in my eyes, but I think I may have gone a bit overboard with the red, ESPECIALLY on her face. I also added sweat to her to add on to the whole concept of her "burning up" in Hot Blood Mode.)

Natalia
Age: 14
Height: 155cm
Weight: 43kg
Birthday: June 29th
Blood Type: A
Three Sizes: 84-55-86
Alignment: Face
Default Tag Partner: Anastasia



-Natalia's story has her joining the JWSF to learn more about Japanese culture as she discovered that Pro Wrestling is huge in Japan. Plus, she can probably use all that money to get all the Sushi she wants.
-Natalia's moveset is similar to Karen's as she combines dance moves with wrestling techniques. However, unlike Karen who graces the ring with ballet and such, Natalia uses the Brazilian-made martial art of Capoeira, which is a combination of dance and martial arts. (Example of movements here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H0D8VaIli0)
-Natalia is a character who excels at mobility, but does not do much in terms of damage.

(Ah, Natalia. My all-time favorite Cinderella Girl and it still irks me that she does not have a voice yet! GAAAH! 3X! Anyway, I decided to add much bronze jewelry to Natalia's wrestling costume due to her fascination with Arabic culture, although her character in Wrestle For You CLIMAX!! in terms of moveset and attributes will harken back to her Brazilian roots. Also, Natalia's hair was a STRUGGLE to color. I couldn't truly decide whether her hair was black or a really dark green, so I colored it both and blended the HECK out of em with a colorless blender. The end result is the best I could do and I am very proud of it!)

Uzuki Shimamura
Age: 17
Height: 159cm
Weight: 45kg
Birthday: April 24th
Blood Type: O
Three Sizes: 83-59-87
Alignment: Face
Default Tag Partner: Mio



-Uzuki's story has her join the JWSF because she does not want to be overshadowed and wants to get in the ring herself, even though she has very little experience.
-Uzuki is a rather balanced character with a standard moveset that balances out melee and grappling techniques.
-Uzuki is an extreme example of Jack-of-All-Stats as she is average in literally EVERY category. Strength, Defense, HP, Speed, you name it. Uzuki is another character who is perfect for beginners.

(Uzuki came out FANTASTIC! Her outfit looks amazing on her and her face came out so adorable. Especially with the blushing on her face. Thank you, Prismacolor Colorless Blender. Anyway, you might be asking why Uzuki sounds fairly uninteresting as a playable character. Well, when it comes to Uzuki, that's the name of the game. She's a generic teenage girl in the idol industry. And ya know what? That's part of her charm. I dunno why, but Uzuki's plainness just works well for her and she's still a likeable character, even if nothing really stands out about her. Or maybe she's so generic that THAT is, ironically enough, what helps her stand out. )

Hey guys! Want a good laugh? Well, here ya go! Here are the (fairly crappy and outdated) prototype designs for Wrestle for You! YAAAAAAAY!......

Let's begin. (WARNING! Massive Image Dump)


Miki/Yukiho. Originally, I was gonna pair these two together, but I realized "This makes no sense". Also, this picture was not centered at all. BLEH!


Iori/Azusa. I still do like this one, if only because of Iori's evil expression and I always love Iori's costume. Maybe that's why I draw it so much.


Takane/Hibiki. HEY! THAT'S NOT NICE, HIBIKI! I did this only because I wanted to emphasize that these two are the villains of the story. I do prefer this Hibiki only because I ACTUALLY GOT THE COLORING OF THE SKIN RIGHT!


Ami/Mami. These two are definitely showing more skin here than in their final designs. I covered them up remembering that these two are still kids in comparison to everybody else and I did not feel right about that. :/


Ritsuko/Makoto. Again, this team makes no sense! What was I on that night? Anyway, only major differences are Ritsuko wearing pants with a different top design and Makoto is missing a scarf. So no majesty for Grace.


Haruka/Chihaya. Chihaya has T-Rex arms in my eyes. They're so tiny!


Kotori/Yayoi. Kotori was, like the twins, showing a lot more skin in this image compared to the final product. Also, Yayoi's frog insignia was removed because it looked really stupid and out of place.


Ai/Eri. I am ashamed to look at this because of how bad Eri turned out. I'M SO SORRY! 3X! Oh, and Ai looks bad too here.


Kanako/Airi. Kanako has not changed at all from this prototype to the final design, but Airi has sure went through a change with a different (and superior) bikini design as well as better anatomy. Seriously, her figure is literally an hourglass here! What went wrong!?


Mayu/Shizuku. I actually still really like this one. In fact, I think Shizuku came out better here than in her profile pic. It's the face.


Uzuki/Mio. WAY to plain in terms of both of them. Yes, Uzuki's picture came out too plain. This presents a problem.

Let me know what you think. Ridicule me all you like for unveiling my older work. XP!

(I know Liza's been waiting for these next two.)

Rin Shibuya
Age: 15
Height: 165cm
Weight: 44kg
Birthday: August 10th
Blood Type: B
Three Sizes: 80-56-81
Alignment: Tweener
Default Tag Partner: Ranko



-Rin's story has her join the JWSF as a bet with her friend, Nao Kamiya, to see if she can become champion at Pro Wrestling.
-Rin's moveset is a combination of wrestling, karate, and some shotoclone moves, similar to Haruka and Chihaya, but with her own spin on things.
-Rin is a balanced character who promotes offensive play more than she does defensive play. As in, Rin shines more when she's attacking rather than preventing the opponent from attacking.

(That wraps up the New Generation trio. Rin came out really well and I love the serious look that I gave her. Just seems to fit her well, don't it?  )

[MetalPredat0r]

(In honor of her last day as Cinderella Girl.)

Ranko Kanzaki
Age: 14
Height: 156cm
Weight: 41kg
Birthday: April 8th
Blood Type: A
Three Sizes: 81-57-80
Alignment: Heel
Default Tag Partner: Rin



-Ranko's story has her enter the JWSF as her way of showing her gratitude to the darkness and proving herself to be its ultimate warrior. At least, that's what she says, anyway.
-Ranko is another unique character. See that glow in her hand? She has a character unique attribute called "Darkness Stands" where she summons a dark being similar to the Stand System from Capcom's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fighting games and the Stand is used to assist her in attacks. However, the stand is there for a limited time and will disappear once the Stand Gauge is depleted and it must charge back up after a while. She also uses the Stand for some special moves.
-Ranko is a fairly decent character by herself as she excels at speed and mobility, but needs some work with strength and defense. However, her Stand more than makes up for her lack of defensive options on her own as well as giving her some great range to cover.

(Ranko was VERY fun to draw! I adore how she came out! Also, the demon wings on her back are just part of the costume. Or maybe she could have some moves where she flies? Perhaps? Also, the sweat is to indicate how much of her power the stand takes from her. Also, Ranko and Rin are the only characters on the same default team with different alignments.)

Don't you have one of those days where you just wanna beat someone with a toaster? Eri sure does.

Anyway, a Toaster is an item in this game. You can toss it at opponents and it surrounds them in flames for a short period of time, damaging them in the meantime.

Well, you know what they say...

[Amazing_Grace]

Lazy, so I'll just say I love all of them. I like being able to see the improvement you made between the prototypes and the end result. All of it is really good, but I can tell you moved forwards in your art a bit between the two groups.

I showed my sister (the one that gives me an art inferiority complex) your art because it's amazing, and she liked it, but she kept complaining about the revealing outfits. My response was, "They're female wrestlers. Don't you remember WRESTLEM@STER? This is normal."

Thanks. Pretty jarring considering that the time gap between prototypes and final designs is only a few months. No, really. I made these mostly during Winter Break.

Please, I had some people at my school question the outfits too. Yes, I work on these at school mostly. Art Class and Online History, ftw.

That's awesome, though, that you were able to improve in such a short time. My art improvement takes YEARS to actually happen. XD

I've seen Senran Kagura and it's ecchi specials, the AAA episode of R.O.D -The TV- and read the Lily chapter of Read or Dream, and watched all three Project ICE OVAs. I am no longer able to be put off by revealing outfits.
In other words, I have built up an immunity to fanservice! Huzzah!

[Heattokun]

I'm not dead,either,Its just I've been a lazy crapper and I've mostly been working on Madoka stuff recently. I got like 20 of those skins to go but I will try to get the first wave of Wrestlem@ster skins out by Sunday(Tomorrow!). I just need to clean he house a bit.

(Gave Cinderella Girls a massive reveal dump, why not Million Live?)

Arisa Matsuda
Age: 16
Height: 154cm
Weight: 40kg
Birthday: June 7th
Blood Type: AB
Three Sizes: 81-54-80
Alignment: Tweener
Default Tag Partner: Karen



-Arisa's story has her enter the JWSF in order to follow and collect data on the idols that are entering the ring. She brings along Karen when she realized she needed a tag partner.
-Arisa's moveset consists of many different tools and machines popping out from nowhere as she weaponizes every last one of them.
-Arisa is a character whose priority is in close combat. She has fairly low range and as a result suffers from zoning characters.

(Yes, Arisa's costume is very clearly inspired by (or ripped off, even) Rainbow Mika from Street Fighter. I thought it'd fit Airsa well. Also, notice how Arisa and Karen are matching somewhat in terms of costume colors? SOMEBODY'S been planning this!  )
