3xL

the lack of multiplayer, bluetooth connectivity, wifi local play, etc etc really sucks!
i dont have a problem creatin an Ai for the oppontents but im sure ppl would like to fight their friends online and stuff. unless i use another engine (oh no he didnt)

what you guys think? do you cafre for fighting friends other humans online? or is cpu opponents fine?

hmmm.... I didn't think about multiplayer feature.

3xL

when i say fighting game i mean a fighitng game. like mk or street fighter. alot of ppl get them confused with beat em ups which is completely different :P

Why don't you code the game with bots if you can as you say you don't have a problem creating the AI for the opponent? A lot of games like street fighter were player vs cpu and online gameplay was non existent at the time and the games were big hits. I myself would play against a cpu all day if the AI was good. Then IF game salad gets online and multiplayer all you need to do is make a few mods and you're done.

That's the thing. Back in the day, online wasn't a standard like today. Frieda would always fight each other tho. Except maybe sf 1. Which sucks. And ryu was a soulless ginger.

But I see ur point. I want to create a mk/sf/killer instinct hybrid

id just start making it. due to the number of animations required it would likely take a very long time to develop. by the time you're done theres a chance a multiplayer feature could have already been implemented. personally i dont care about online features for fighting games. i find it more interesting to vs. people/friends that are actually next to you

3xL

thanks xforce

thats my issue, GS doesnt support multiplayer yet.

as far as animation goes, i can find a way if making this process easier....

i REALLY dont wanna use another engine, simply because GS ROCKS with its ease of use.
