Well, I try to do that for all of your remixes because they lend themselves to "how did these two end up fused?" thinking. Plus I liked your big shoes/no shoe compromise by giving him platform sandals.



That's a little different though. Smash Bros. is fun but it's more just a playable toybox, not really a narrative crossover like Kingdom Hearts where the worlds have plot significance. I mean Smash Bros. used to have that for Melee and Brawl but got rid of the Subspace Emissary for the next game because people uploaded it to Youtube. (Which is a stupid reason to remove that, but I digress.) The most recent Marvel vs. Capcom does more with the story and who these characters are, but it has a little too much going on for me. Marvel already has so many disparate parts and Capcom has so many varied franchises under its umbrella. It's not so much a head to head as it is a giant mega crossover of multiple worlds with no cohesive through line.



Like going off of that Nintendo crossover thing for the Metroid Star Fox remix thing, imagine if you play a game where you start as Mario in the Mushroom Kingdom. Princess Peach gets captured by Bowser but he has some new minions that Mario can't beat, then Link is literally dropped out of the sky and spur of the moment they team up. Seeing a common foe, they follow Bowser to see he's capturing Pokemon and they free them but a particular one, Pikachu, is grateful and decides to follow them. Now you have the trinity of Nintendo's biggest icons on a trip to as many worlds as you can go to. Yoshi's Island, Termina, Dreamland, Inkopolis, whatever. With the three initial group and their quest though there's an anchor so the whole thing doesn't fly apart at the seams and there's an actual reason they're fighting together apart from multiplayer team matchups.





Or if you did want to keep it to a straight head on clash. Just have two very different worlds colliding. Like to keep Ryu in the picture, Street Fighter and . . . I don't know, Deus Ex. That would be a real clash. The tone of the two franchises are so different and the actions of the characters are no longer self-contained. Ryu would have to navigate a world of conspiracies and shadows and suddenly not every problem he faces could be solved by a hadouken.
