Fan Game Idea (THE iDOLM@STER: Wrestle for You II)

[MetalPredat0r]

Yes, jumping the gun a bit here, and I will get the original W4U thread finished as soon as I can, but I started working on this and I REALLY wanted to get this out of the way, right now. So, here it is. The direct sequel to Wrestle for You, the fan game idea project that I started on February of 2014. It was awesome to see so much support, views, and feedback given to the original, but now it's time to start things anew.

Notes:
- The gameplay will change dramatically. Instead of a standard wrestling game, this will be a 3D fighting game similar to Tekken or Dead or Alive with lots of elements of professional wrestling such as grapples, weapons, and pinfalls.

- There will be fewer characters than in W4U Climax. The reason for this is to have more focus on the game since W4U1's got WAY too big. I already have the full roster written down and it is roughly around 45 characters. Still a big roster, but not to the extent of the original.

- Every character announced will have an icon posted on the front of the thread to keep easier track of the characters in the game itself. The thread will start off with eight characters (whom I will make individual profiles for soon) and will grow from there. The ones in bold are newcomers.

WOO WOO

More stuff from everyone's favorite crusher of dreams!
This looks pretty cool. I look forward to seeing the differences between the two projects.

I'll be sure to post differences in the coming days.

Now for character announcements!

HARUKA AMAMI
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER (Arcade - 2005)
Age: 17
Height: 158cm
Weight: 46kg
Birthday: April 3rd
Blood Type: O
Three Sizes: 83-56-82
Agency: 765 Productions



"Haruka, as many of you already know, is the face of THE iDOLM@STER as a whole, so of course she'll be entering the ring again. Haruka is a normal girl who is always cheerful, hard-working, and never leaves home without her trademark double ribbons. Although she is a hard worker, it doesn't undermine the fact that she is rather clumsy and sometimes a bit air-headed. Despite all of this, Haruka still makes it out on top in the end and eventually became the JWSF's Champion, after defeating Miki Hoshii in the finals. However, Haruka's abilities will be put to the test when the JWSF's rules have suddenly changed."

CHIHAYA KISARAGI
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER (Arcade - 2005)
Age: 16
Height: 162cm
Weight: 41kg
Birthday: February 25th
Blood Type: A
Three Sizes: 72-55-78'
Agency: 765 Productions



"Chihaya is 765 Productions' head vocalist. Some may say that her wondrous voice was a gift from God. One cay surely tell that Chihaya has had it rough in her past, given her initial harsh demeanor when one gets to know her at first. However, she really is an amiable young lady deep down, and is actually rather awkward and humorous at times. Chihaya became a part of 765 Productions' wrestling promotion last time and although she disliked it at first due to not necessarily relating to singing, she grew accustomed to it and actually found it rather fun, hence Chihaya's return to the ring."

MIKI HOSHII
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER (Xbox 360 - 2007)
Age: 15
Height: 161cm
Weight: 45kg
Birthday: November 23rd
Blood Type: B
Three Sizes: 86-55-83
Agency: 765 Productions



"Big chest, cute voice, blonde hair, and a want to go home and take an onigiri-filled nap. Yup, it's Miki alright! Although Miki is a rather lazy girl, she is still considered a top tier idol around the world due to her apparent natural expertise at being a celebrity. Miki is the kind of girl that believes that she can obtain anything with little effort due to how she was raised. However, she learned this the hard way when Haruka snubbed her of the championship belt last time. Eager for another shot, Miki becomes a pro wrestler once again to finally claim her title as "The People's Champion"!"

KAREN SHINOMIYA
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! (Mobile (GREE) - 2013)
Age: 16
Height: 159cm
Weight: 48kg
Birthday: August 27th
Blood Type: AB
Three Sizes: 90-59-90
Agency: 765 Productions



"At first glace, Karen is a rather sexy young thing. However, she's more likely to modest away from that fact due to a severe lack of self-confidence. Karen became an idol in order to improve herself as a person by shedding away her shy exterior as well as potentially being a role model for other shy girls to give them the inspiration to change their lives for the better. Practicing what you preach, I say! Karen joined 765 Production's wrestling promotion with the JWSF to help her self-confidence further. However, she is fully aware that she is throwing herself into immense danger by doing this. Thankfully, Karen has her good friend Haruka by her side to keep her calm."

SHIZUKA MOGAMI
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! (Mobile (GREE) - 2013)
Age: 14
Height: 162cm
Weight: 44kg
Birthday: September 14th
Blood Type: A
Three Sizes: 76-53-77
Agency: 765 Productions



"Shziuka seems like the kind of girl who is the typical stoic loner who focuses more on work than anything. However, keep in mind that she is still a kid. Shizuka has a rather intense distrust towards adults, no thanks to her rather strict father, but when surrounded by peers, she's a rather kind girl, if a little bit of a hard-ass. Shizuka joined the JWSF in order to further improve her physical capabilities, but is further intrigued when paired with former rival and new "amigo", Shiho Kitazawa."

SHIHO KITAZAWA
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! (Mobile (GREE) - 2013)
Age: 14
Height: 161cm
Weight: 46kg
Birthday: January 18th
Blood Type: A
Three Sizes: 83-56-84
Agency: 765 Productions



"Shiho is the kind of girl who comes off as a bit of a loner due to losing her father at an early age and having to care for the house on her own to assist her mother. She is good at working on her own, but really falters when it comes to working with others. In an agency such as 765 Productions, which runs HEAVILY on the Power of Friendship, it is inevitable that ideas will clash. Shiho joined the previous Wrestling Promotion at first as a referee, but eventually became a competitor herself. Shiho returns to the ring as she had a blast entering the ring as a Heel, however things get interesting (and rather awkward) when she's paired with Shizuka Mogami."

AZUSA MIURA
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER (Arcade - 2005)
Age: 21
Height: 168cm
Weight: 48kg
Birthday: July 19th
Blood Type: O
Three Sizes: 91-59-86
Agency: 765 Productions



"As one of the eldest at her agency, Azusa is seen as the big sister type for many of her fellow idols, even if she seems a bit dimwitted at some points. Azusa became an idol as she wishes to find her "special someone" that she can spend the rest of her life with. Until then, she's the sexy, ditzy big sis we know and love. Azusa joined the JWSF during 765 Productions' initial promotion with the JWSF, and showed a surprising skill when it comes to wrestling. While she at first joined as a Heel, Azusa was rather poor at that and joined again as a Face, to better fit her kind demeanor."

TSUBASA IBUKI
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! (Mobile (GREE) - 2013)
Age: 14
Height: 158cm
Weight: 43kg
Birthday: July 30th
Blood Type: B
Three Sizes: 85-52-82
Agency: 765 Productions



"Tsubasa's demeanor is rather like a cat. A childish cat. She always pounces at the opportunity of anything she deems interesting. Tsubasa sports a bodacious body with great natural talents as an idol. Her reason for becoming an idol was that she found the idea of it to be fun. Disappointed that she missed out on the previous collaboration between 765 Productions and the Joshi Wrestling Stars Federation, Tsubasa made sure to join this time as she thought the idea of being a pro wrestler seemed rather fun for her. She also saw this as an opportunity to finally become close with her inspiration and spiritual mentor, Miki."

(That's all I got for now. I might post one more tonight depending on whether or not I'm butt tired by the time I'm done.)

[MetalPredat0r]

Here she is!

RITSUKO AKIZUKI
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER (Arcade - 2005)
Age: 19
Height: 156cm
Weight: 43kg
Birthday: June 23rd
Blood Type: A
Three Sizes: 85-57-85
Agency: 765 Productions



"Ritsuko recently graduated from high school and worked at 765 Productions as an intern. However, when duty called, Ritsuko had no choice but to debut as an idol. Eventually, Ritsuko leaned closer to the businesswoman type person she wanted to be and became a producer, most famously for the popular unit Ryuuguu Komachi. Although, Ritsuko will also become an idol when the time calls. Ritsuko was part of the first Wrestling Promotion between 765Pro and the JWSF and teamed up with Miki, but ultimately lost her chance at the belt. Furious, but determined, Ritsuko hears of a new Wrestling Promotion and decides to start regularly hit the gym to lift weights, which explains her slightly bulkier appearance, mainly with her arms. Will Ricchan take home the belt with her newly found muscles?"

(Ritsuko's icon has been added to the front page. Please check the first post of the thread.)

Everything looks great so far! You seem to be getting even better at anatomy. Nice work!

Oh yeah, and there's wrestling too.

ELLEN KUROSAWA
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER Wrestle for You! (? - 20XX))
Age: 17
Height: 165cm
Weight: 45kg
Birthday: March 10th
Blood Type: O
Three Sizes: 91-57-85
Agency: Joshi Wrestling Stars Federation



"Ellen is one of the top students in her class. Despite her nerdy demeanor, she is rather popular due to her attractive appearance and wonderful voice. However, Ellen usually tends to ignore these acts of admiration as she is either too busy to notice or is too nervous to respond to them. She is a long-time veteran of the JWSF and assisted 765 Productions during their Wrestling Promotion, even befriending them. Now that the second Idol Promotion is underway, Ellen is ecstatic to see her old friends once again in the ring, however she has quite a number of newcomers to witness, including some from a different production agency altogether!"

KIRARI MOROBOSHI
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls (Mobile (Mobage) - 2011)
Age: 17
Height: 186cm
Weight: 60kg
Birthday: September 1st
Blood Type: O
Three Sizes: 91-64-86
Agency: 346 Productions



"Kirari is what one would call a "Gentle Giant". She is very tall for her age, yes, however she's a super excited and very sweet young girl with a passion for anything adorable and fun. Although quite a number of things that come out of her mouth might seem like "cutesy nonsense", she acts as a big sister to other younger idols, primarily her partners in her unit, Dekoration. Kirari participated in the first Wrestling Promotion, however had a very minor presence due to 346Pro not having much involvement. Now that 346 was contacted to take part in the Second Wrestling Promotion, Kirari will do her best to represent Cinderella Project, have fun, and spread "Happy Happy" to the entire audience!"

MAMI FUTAMI
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER (Arcade - 2005)
Age: 13
Height: 158cm
Weight: 42kg
Birthday: May 22nd
Blood Type: B
Three Sizes: 78-55-77
Agency: 765 Productions



"The elder of a pair of twins, the Futami Twins, Mami used to perform masquerading as her younger sister, Ami, due to their identical appearances. However, after Ami was brought into the unit, Ryuuguu Komachi, Mami decided to go for a solo debut instead. Energetic, hyperactive, and rather mischievous, Mami will do what it takes to have some fun with her friends. Mami participated in the first wrestling promotion, however she lost to her rival, Iori Minase, in a grudge match when Iori kidnapped Ami as part of the script. Mami, now after some training, will give it her all to make it to the top and finally defeat Iori in a match once and for all!"

YUI OHTSUKI
Origin: THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls (Mobile (Mobage) - 2011)
Age: 17
Height: 155cm
Weight: 42kg
Birthday: May 7th
Blood Type: B
Three Sizes: 84-56-83
Agency: 346 Productions



"Playful, laid back, and hyperactive, Yui is the kind of girl that does what she wants, when she wants. She is well-known for her sweet tooth and just being an all-around joy to be around, even to her usually stoic friend, Chinatsu. At the very last moment, Yui was scouted to participate in the second wrestling promotion for the JWSF, representing 346Pro. Yui gladly accepted and as soon as she met Tanaka Inoue, the President of the JWSF, the woman could not help but note the similarities between her and a past idol that went in the ring "Miki Hoshii". In fact, Tanaka spent the entire time comparing the two. Rather annoyed, Yui exclaimed "Fine, I'll show this Miki girl what for, then! I'll try what she's doing, but better! THEN we'll see who's gonna get compared to who!"."

(Ellen, Kirari, Mami, and Yui's icons have been added to the front page. Please check the first post of the thread.)

REGARDING MIKI AND YUI

Here's something new. If there is something I want to talk about concerning any characters, I'll make posts like these clarifying the situations.

First off, I was planning on revealing Yui on April 1st as a sort of anti-joke. As in, she would be revealed and it would seem like such a joke, however Yui would have legitimately been in the game.

As implied from Yui's biography, yes, Miki and Yui are moveset clones. Originally, Yui was going to be an alternate costume for Miki, however due to wishing to expand the roster at the last minute as well as another issue that will be brought up later, Miki and Yui were given separate slots.

Differences between the two
+ means benefit.
- means disadvantage.


MIKI
~ Has the Give a Crap Meter from W4U1.
+ More powerful when Give a Crap is at max.
~ Now transforms into Awakened Miki when maxed out.
- Slightly taller, thus having a larger hitbox.
+ Has much better reach


YUI
~ Does not have the Give a Crap Meter at all.
+ Overall more powerful than Miki with minimum or balanced Give a Crap.
- MUCH less powerful than Awakened Miki.
+ Slightly shorter, thus having a smaller hitbox.
- Reach is overall shorter.

As stated above, Miki transforms into Awakened Miki when her Give a Crap Meter is at max. Due to an Awakened Yui not exisitng, Yui being an alternate costume for Miki would make no sense in that department. In addition, this also means Yui has effectively replaced Awakened Miki in terms of AM as a separate character. They do share some similarities. Such as not having a Give a Crap Meter or being superior to Miki with low or balanced Give a Crap. However, Yui is more balanced as, while Awakened Miki in W4U1 was literally Miki always on max Give a Crap, Yui is still inferior to Miki when her meter is maxed out.

That's all for now. Hope I don't get too much backlash for adding a clone. ;

[Amazing_Grace]

I definitely sense improvement. I love what you're doing with this! Except for, you know, the part where it never actually happens.

I'm fine with Yui and Miki both existing. I like how you outlined the differences between the two. Sure, they're similar, but there are enough differences to warrant a new character, I think.

Yeah. If I add a clone character, I'm not gon a make the two exactly the same, otherwise we'd have a Pit/Dark Pit situation.

[Amazing_Grace]

I'm STILL not a proud owner of SSBB4, are Pit and Dark Pit really that identical?

[MetalPredat0r]

The only differences between the two are different knockbacks for their forward tilt, Dark Pit's arrow control isn't as precise, and their side specials launch at different angles. Other than that, their movesets are identical.

Oh, gee. That's disappointing, actually.

[MetalPredat0r]

Oh, gee. That's disappointing, actually.

It really is. Being the Kid Icarus Uprising fan I am, it is very disappointing for me.

Ah well, I should probably get to confirming more characters soon.

My sister will be disappointed too.

I eagerly await more character confirmations. :3
