Right, so one of my favourite movie franchises is Shrek. I love the characters, the memes, it’s just a great franchise.

So I was wondering if Shrek could make it into Brawlhalla. At first when the first few crossover events were released, I thought they had some guidelines, video games only, so Shovel Knight and Rayman. But when Hellboy was released, I got skeptical. When Adventure Time was released, I thought the possibilities were endless. But the moment WWE was revealed, I knew that there are no limits. So, I figured I could show my idea for a Shrek Crossover event.

Let’s start with everybody’s favourite, skins!

1. Shrek. Epic Crossover skin for Xull

Let’s start with the main man himself, Shrek. The swamp ogre who wants no man to enter his swamp. I chose Xull for two obvious reasons.

One, they both are ogres

Two, the weapons are fairly easy to make sigs for.

Weapons

The cannon becomes a hollow log. It is seen in multiple ways, one of the most famous being Shrek’s ‘shower’, pouring mud over his body.

The axe becomes a trusty battle axe. In Shrek 4, Shrek is equipped with an axe for the battle against Rumpelstiltskin.

Signature effect swaps

As a Shrek etiquette, it was easy to create sig effect swaps. Just replace everything with mud... that’s it. But not everything. With the cannon nsig and axe dsig, Xull uses some bear traps. Well, during the opening of Shrek 2, while Shrek and Fiona are going through the forest together, Shrek gets trapped by the villagers who are hunting him down, trapping his leg in one of those traps that hang you from a tree by one leg. So as a nice little reference to that, the bear traps become vine to keep the swampy theme.

2. Fiona. Epic crossover skin for Jhala

Fiona. Shrek’s one true love and happily ever after. Just because she is a princess doesn’t mean she knows plenty of combat and martial arts techniques.

Weapons

Unfortunately, these aren’t going to be very exiting, as the weapons she uses in Shrek 4 are very basic

The axe is... another battle axe... same as Shrek

And the sword... is a sword...

Signature effect swaps

Unlike Jhala, Fiona doesn’t have a dragon spirit inside her or something. She relies on classic, vanilla fighting. The signatures could replace the entire dragon and fire thing with some... I dunno... lines? Ok... well similar to Finn’s signature swaps, but maybe make them like orange or red? Ok I have no clue... just move on...

Puss in Boots. Crossover skin for Asuri

Puss in Boots. One of Shrek’s companions who joined the team in Shrek 2. When sent to assassinate Shrek from the orders of the king, Shrek was too much of a threat for him to handle, and gives up and tells him everything. He agrees to help Shrek on his quest.

Weapons

The weapons are really simple. Both use swords and claws... nothing else to be said

Signatures effect swaps

Alright. Asuri’s sigs are fine just the way they are. There isn’t much you can do with her sigs. So the same with Gruagach, there won’t be signature effect swaps.

Donkey. Epic Crossover skin for Wu Shang

Shrek’s annoying sidekick and a fan favourite character, Donkey joined Shrek in the first movie of the franchise after running into him while escaping the knights of Lord Farquaad who were collecting magical creatures.

Weapons

Gauntlets make sense, let’s be real. They just become hooves. Bigger hooves. And the spear? The spear becomes a Waffle on a stick, as Donkey loves waffles more than anything else. Yes, waffle of a stick is a thing that exists. I can here you all now ‘BuT sHaRk! DoNkEy DoEsN’t UsE a SpEaR!’ True, but does Rayman use an axe in his games? No, Barbara uses the axe! Does Daimio use a scythe? I dunno, I haven’t seen Hellboy. I don’t think he does as people were complaining that Asuri should’ve been Daimio, so I’m guessing he doesn’t.

Signature effect swaps

Why did I choose Wu Shang? His aura. Why his aura? Well, creating sig effects is as easy as ABC. Replace the aura with Maple Syrup. Keeping the waffle theme!

Gamemode

I call this gamemode ‘Dragons’ Drop’. Basically, 4 players stand on a bridge and one by one, pieces of the bridge will fall down. The objective is to not fall down the gaps of the bridge. To make the game harder, you can’t attack the enemy, you can only jump once until you land, and you can collide with the enemy. So basically, it’s just a race to get to the bridge piece that doesn’t fall.

The gamemode is a reference to the bridge to the castle in the first Shrek film, where Shrek and Donkey go to the bridge to rescue Fiona.

Map

The map I’ve gone for is The Swamp. This map will be unique. You can’t take a stock off your opponent by hitting them down, as there is a floor in the way. You have to take a stock from above or from the side.

And... that’s about it really. If you want to leave your thoughts in the comments below I’m more than happy for you to! Thanks for wasting seconds of your life!
