I have recently been playing kazecat’s Crushing Force and since zenthick’s Apocalypse XL just had its last update, I had an idea of a similar weight gain fighting game like Crushing Force but using Apocalypse XL characters. It doesn’t have to be in the same Marvel-style that Crushing Force is, but if that framework is already available, than that works. I think it could be cool to have 20 or so characters at the start, but there could be updates that add characters from different points of the story, like characters from the college, villains, and/or characters from the dojo area. I don’t have any experience with making games, so if anyone wants to take this idea (with zenthick’s approval) can go ahead and make the game.

This could be an interesting idea to take forward, especially if you inspire the characters’ movesets from other games.
Here’s some ideas I had thinking about that concept:
Amber (probably would play like Marth in Smash Bros or Chaka from HFTF, maybe give her a Sword ON and Sword OFF moveset)
Janet (would play similarly to Kakyoin from HFTF but using her vines and spores instead. She could borrow Alessi’s screen gun move where she points it and you the player can aim at the enemy on the screen)
Wires (she would have the “What Could This Be?” move from Faust in Guilty Gear, where she would spit out something random from her pouch, other than that she’d either be a zoner like Peacock from Skullgirls or play like Midler from HFTF)
Bruce (literally just Ryu or that meme of the average Tekken character that has 3 different forward punch moves)
Sky (she’d probably have Twelve’s move of copying the opponent and their whole moveset, idk y’all can come up with a better moveset)
Someone (think Pokemon Trainer from Smash Bros where it’s 3 different characters and they each have their own movesets and unique quirks about playing them, cycling between Mr. Chavez, the General and Someone. Someone would play similarly to Pet Shop from HFTF but without all the insanity)
Claire (I’d really like if she played like Urien so she could have an Aegis Reflector of some kind and do setups with it, it’d be so fuckin’ funny)
Vlad (puppet character like Devo, Zato-ONE or Double from Skullgirls, only he’s not like 2 separate characters he’d be more like 1 and a half)
Rachel (literally just Hugo, maybe a bit of Q with his whole thing of increasing his defense through a taunt, but mostly just Hugo)
Annie (she could have a move where she changes the gravity for the opponent and herself, changing between making things lighter or heavier, she also deals more damage on high gravity)
