Game Idea Wiki Crossover 3: The Rift

Game Idea Wiki Crossover 3: The Rift is the 3rd continuation of the games series: Game Idea Wiki Crossover. It is a crossover fighting game using characters created by members of the Game Ideas Wiki. This new installment may have less characters, but it has more detail.

Gameplay
Characters will generally be animated and drawn in the same style, regardless of their old art style. They will be able to KO opponents by knocking each other off the perimeter of the stage. However, each character has a KO meter that instantly knocks them out if they get stuck in a long enough combo. How many hits they can take varies on the character. Your special gets filled a little every time the opponent is hit. everyone gets a single special that varies in usability called a Rift Special or just Rift.

The maximum amount of players allowed to play at once is 6 when using wireless controllers, allowing chaotic and fun battles to take place. However, in the Saga Mode, 2 players is the maximum.

During battles, random items will appear; the list of items will appear further down on this page. The items will upgrade characters or be weapons to hold or throw.

There are three different modes: Saga, Battle, and Adventure. Saga is the story mode for the game, Battle is the regular battling mode, and Adventure is a series of randomly generated battles (ending with a rival battle and boss battle). Each mode can lead to unlocking characters.

There is one other menu option; the Customize option. The customize option allows the tweaking of certain characters appearances such as Hero and Avatar. Some customizable things are hair, voice, and accessories.

This game is heavily influenced by Super Smash Brothers: Brawl.

Like Phoenix Wright in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, the majority of his or her attacks are accidents such as spilling coffee or tripping. He/She does low damage and can take an avereage-low amount of hits. His Rift has 3 different possibilities, the chosen possibility is decided by random fate. 1: The opposite half of the stage collapses, referencing the "crushed" death ; 2.

The story of this game takes place on an Earth where humans discover that magic does, in fact, exist and abuse this magic to open dimensional rifts without second thought.

Story
''The story has three different main plots that intertwine here and there, but will eventually fit together like a puzzle in the end. Eventually, every single character will be used. When a locked character appears in the story mode, they become unlocked in the other modes. However, you may only play in one story line, so you'd have to wait until the end to unlock the other characters. But once one Story Line is completed, another one can be chosen.''

Next, there are three different kinds of modes within the story mode. the first is Arena. The arena mode means the character(s) is/are in a closed environment with enemies spawning until either a time limit runs out or until a kill limit has been reached. The next mode is the Rush mode where the goal is to get from point A to point B, but there will be enemies in the way. Finally, there is Battle. In this mode, you fight another character for a time limit or until their stock of lives has run out.

'' Also, the most occurring enemy in the Story Mode would be the Virus, referencing how the worst thing that could occur to a Game Idea Wiki User is a virus appearing on their computer and rendering it useless. Anyways, let's get to the story!''

Story Line A
Sarah Stone is walking out of a store, content. Once outside, she bumps into an unhappy man carrying goods from a nearby party supply store ( Party Guy ). She apologizes but she notices the Party Guy's gaze is locked on whatever is above her. Sarah looks up to see an airship dropping purplish-green blobs of goo all around the city as well as filling the sky with smog.

Sarah drops her bags as Viruses pop out of the ground, and the Party Guy starts to look worried. The Party Guy turns around, only to see that the duo was surrounded by these peculiar creatures. Sarah, however, is ready for a fight and gets her psychic powers activated.

The two eventually get tired and retreat back into the store, the fight seeming hopeless. They quickly plan out an escape route and fight their way to the edge of the city.

Story Line C
Laser the Wolf is quietly exploring a laboratory filled with Viruses. Upon entering a room, he finds Glowthos inside of a test chamber. He breaks the lock and frees Glowthos, and the two escape the laboratory together in a world that looks post-apocalyptic. Outside, The Marine is found aiming his gun at a virus in the desert. Apparently, he was watching the entrance to make sure no more enemies would enter.

Glowthos is unaware of the current situation, and Laser and The Marine simply signal to a flying airship passing over, producing purplish-green blobs of goo. The three chase after it through the sand storm on foot before hopping into a camouflage jeep to continue.

Boss

His twisted mind seeks to bring the world to an end using various viruses, the airship of Reever Calisban, and shadowy minions. He does major damage and can take a bunch as well. The boss battle begins with him in the same shape as the player's character, using the same attacks but dealing much more damage. His second mode has him turn into a large shadow with a combination of everyone's attacks. His final mode turns him into a smaller, crying shadow that just waits for you to defeat it as he says things like "I'm only a shadow, a tool, a God with no motives." and "I just don't care."
