only when new refreshing features will be out, people will start coming back to try it out and master them. no items/tc boosters/cosmetics is any interesting for those who seen it all.

variety is the king.

The camera would be fixed to one side, like old 2D fighting games. Pre-recorded moves could be executed with a limited amount of buttons on the keyboard. This could potentionally be made into a 2 player hotseat mode as well as online multiplayer. Moves would have a default state they would have to be launched from (example: a standing kick would have to be made from a standing position, and it would have to be made from that pose in the first place during recording.).

I have a great deal of experience with these types of games, I used to work on content for a game engine called MUGEN. Toribash itself would be ideal for a game like that, with the customizable moves and whatnot.

I'm not confident in my LUA (or general programming) skills to make this happen, though. While I might be able to make this thing a reality in a few years, I'm putting this out here in case someone is interested with the required skillset in the meantime.

C&C welcome.

But i like the idea as a whole it would maybe even be another incentive to veterans. To provide a new totally different challenge for them to master. they can make up moves it would be like an fighting game with a infinitely large character pool and move pool.

To add to your idea Under the Tab option that would be under the main menu there should be a Single player option where the CPU is loaded with random moves that the GameMakers would load into its move pool and you can use your custom made moves or some standard moves that the Makers could add to your tori's move pool as default. There should be the Multiplayer option which is self-explanitory. Then there should be a Move Maker tab Were the Player can Make custom Moves, add hotkeys, and even Name them. When they are made they are saved to the list of moves and their hotkeys that should be accessible through the in game pause screen.

Thats my idea about how the design should go.

Also i think that the Currency for that game and the current one should be attached but not the items again giving people more of a reason to throw money at the game. They could buy things like the colors and joints that you see in the normal game but in their 2D perspectives. The player would win TC for each multyplayer win like normal but I think it should be at a smaller amount per win as to not overpower the orginal games favor like 5tc per win instead of 10 like the normal booster-less game brings. I do believe that boosters should be transferable between these two games but the boosters value is cut in half if you play the 2d version. This way It wont over power the orginal game and if it comes down to a Computer Vs Mobile thing it will even out the favor (Phones are pretty much becoming small computers).

I really dont know how it would play out but if it ever was accepted these are the ideas i would recommend. If you would like some more ideas about this because this has me intrigued just ask.
