DBZ SB1 Remake

[Omega]

Hey guys,

back than i started to work on a full game project all by myself. İ was making a DBZ Game with some sheets i got from Neo and Chrono Strife. İ think it is time to put it back up with some questions i want to ask you all.

First of all, i am not sure wich engine to use yet. Fighter Maker, Mugen. İ kinda like to use FM over Mugen since the engine is better set up for full games. And also that i am a FM member since 2000 aswell like i am for Mugen.

İ would like to remake SB1 (Super Butouden) with SB2-SB3 styled sprites.

This is the original cast in SB1:
- Goku Normal - SSJ
- Gohan Teen SSJ
- Vegeta Armored SSJ
- Trunks Armored SSJ
- Piccolo
- Frieza
- DR. Gero
- 16
- 18
- İmperfect Cell / Perfect Cell

That is a list of 10 Characters. There are tons of sheets wich are usefull thanks to the ones i got from some of my friends. Of Course, this would be a SB1 plus duo the sprites i want to use like a overhaul or so.

The decent thing would be some Characters like Trunks. İnstead of a armor, he could wear his jacket and there is a awesome sheet for 16 released aswell. Some sort of a upgrade for all. Also in gameplay.

İ have a template ready that i had saved. İ would only change some effects in it is all.

İ would add atleast two extra Characters to have a larger roster maybe. Not sure wich two yet but that could be done once the original cast is made.

Question No 1:
İ want your opinions about this. İ surely could use ideas for wich sprites i shall use as a replacement for the 10 Characters i coded. İf possible, i would love to see a example if you have any.

Question No 2:
İngame transformations in or not?

The reason why i ask those question is simple. İ see so many people making DBZ Games that it makes me run out of ideas.

Waiting for your kindly reply.

I knew Cell was in, but I forgot about the androids. In my mind Super Buthouden was only Saiyan + Frieza saga I would focus on those. Leave out the androids and Cell, and instead come with some good Saiyan/Frieza saga chars that didn't ever see an official SB appearance. Thinking of Nappa and Krillin here.
I wouldn't go with ingame transformations because only 4 chars so far can do it, it'd be unfair.
Keep it small, keep it noble, keep it tight and try to be authentic. Old school effects, and such.
I'm past my Super Buthouden era of spriting though, so I don't think I'll help out with the spriting.
Some fixes or tips here and there, but no sheeting

SB1 Remake:

The game itself starts at the end of the Piccolo Saga where you have to defeat Piccolo at the Budokai Tournament. Therefore I think you should concentrate on the Piccolo & Saiyan saga.


Char-wise that would mean:

Heroes_____
- Goku
- Krillin
- Tien
- Yamcha (long haired)

Villains____
- Piccolo Jr. (turns to "hero" after Radditz fight)
- Radditz
- Saibamen
- Nappa
- Vegeta (END Boss)

I never understood why the first SB game concentrated on such a broad story line.
Imho it should have been like this:

SB1 - Piccolo/Saiyan - Saga (Goku, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha - Piccolo,Radditz,Saibamen, Nappa, Vegeta)
SB2 - Freeza - Saga (Goku, Krillin, Gohan,Vegeta,Piccolo - Zarbon, GinyuForce, Freeza +100%)
SB3 - Cell - Saga (Goku,Gohan,Vegeta,Piccolo, F.Trunks - C17,C18,C19,C20,Insect Cell, Perfect Cell)
SB4 - Buu - Saga (Goku, Mistic Gohan, Gotenks, Piccolo, Krillin, Vegetto - Majin Vegeta, Dabura, FatBuu, SuperBuu, KidBuu)

I'm also against ingame transformations (obviously as there werent any SSJ at my point of a SB1 remake)

İ sure do love that roster you made there.

The thing is that i want to remake SB1 with SB2-SB3 looking sprites. İ could work on a Saiyan Saga Game and even add Garlic JR as a bonus Character to have a movie story in aswell, but there is a Saiyan Saga Game project already wich wont make thisone original as a idea. The idea's would be close even if i give it another game system with color seperation.

İ shall wait for a few more response's but my view and liking is still going for a SB1 Remake. You guys are giving me much idea's wich İ really apriciate alot.
