shamelessposer Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 The video game series that started a worldwide arcade boom is now challenging the best data set to date in wrestling simulator history. It's [b]Street Fighter vs. Cornellverse[/b]. The biggest and the smallest names in the Street Fighter universe are present and accounted for. If there's any excuse for one of the characters to take part in pro wrestling, they've been included. While that does mean a few big names are left out, most of the really cool characters are here. One of the nice benefits to the workers added to the data is that they do a good job of beefing up the European scene. The Andore family consists of a great worker, a decent worker and a good road agent, Cammy can very easily develop into someone special, and Vega is a god unto spot monkeys. The Street Fighter mythos have been bumped forward by ten years. This means that the first Street Fighter tournament took place in 1997, not 1987. The big reason for this was to make sure that characters would be old enough to fit into the Street Fighter III storyline, allowing "The New Generation" to go into New Workers, while also keeping the characters from being too old. Going off of official birthdates, Ryu and Ken would be in their mid forties by now, and what's the point of adding a bunch of workers to the game if they'll all be near retirement? Here's a list of what's been added so far. These mod stats are accurate as of Wednesday night. This mod will release with its own picture pack. [b]Additional Workers: 66[/b] ---- Abigail Ace Adon Akuma Allen Snider Andore Junior Area Axl Balrog Birdie Bison Blair Dame Blanka Bred Cammy Carlos Charlie Chun Li Cody Travers Cracker Jack Damnd Dan Hibiki Darun Mister Dean Dee Jay Dhalsim Doctrine Dark Eagle Edi. E Edmond Honda El Gado Fei Long Geki Gen Guile Guy Hollywood Hugo Andore Jay Jessica Haggar Joe Juli Juni Karin Kanzuki Ken Masters Lee Lucia Morgan Maki Genryusai Poison Pullum Purna Retsu Rainbow Mika Rolento Rose Roxy Ryu Sagat Sakura Skullomania Sodom Thunder Hawk Uncle Andore Vega Zangief [b]New Workers: 12[/b] Alex Dudley Elena Ibuki Makoto Necro Oro Q Sean Remy Yang Yun [b]Additional Dojos: 1[/b] ---- Hibiki Dojo [b]Additional Relationships: [i]Lots[/i][/b]
Chuck Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 I would put Dhalsim in for the simple fact that he could be the perfect Indian Jobber with a Ghandi gimmick... Jamon dude

FuelFan0102 Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Charlie, Gen, and M. Bison= Put them in and put them as "Deceased" Rolento=On Hiatus Akuma=Left the Business?
shamelessposer Posted April 5, 2007 Author Posted April 5, 2007 I've spent pretty much the whole day re-cutting pictures onto the Cornellverse blue background. Thanks to the magic of sprite ripping, some of the results are stunning. Here's some of the sprite-ripped characters: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/ryu.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/rmika.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/dan.jpg[/IMG] And here's a couple I had to cut myself. I think they look pretty good, too, but not as good as the rips: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/eagle.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/mikehaggar.jpg[/IMG] There's an awful lot more characters than I thought that are still left to be done. Close to thirty, in fact. But most of those are New Workers.
Guest The Aussie Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Please make Dan an awesome character. You know, for Irony and all that. Edit: Oooh, Perhaps also include some characters from other Capcom fighting games. Additional: Don't forget aobut Juli and Juni and the others.

Edit: Oooh, Perhaps also include some characters from other Capcom fighting games. Additional: Don't forget aobut Juli and Juni and the others.[/QUOTE] Actually, Dan is a pretty awesome character. Given his inclinations, he'll make a fine addition to a Japanese sports entertainment promotion. The three obvious coups for any promotion are Hugo Andore, Mike Haggar and Zangief, but there's a lot of talent to go around. Sodom was a pro wrestler, too, and characters like Blanka, T. Hawk and Juli will help out the Mexican scene. Eagle is a fantastic hardcore wrestler, and decently over in the UK. So there's a bunch of guys worth putting on your roster. Even the seemingly worthless guys like Axl and J could at the very least have a place in a garbage promotion.
Ping von Erich Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I love this idea, not making "Street fighter Wrestling Federation" or some other such usual custom data raziness but actually just adding these well known characters to the C-verse universe, very cool. I can't wait to thumb through the bios and see how you wedge each character into the C-verse mithos. Can anyone else say Ken and Ryu as PGHW Tag champs? Zangief as UCR Champion? Cammy and Chun Li vs. Alicia Strong and Wanda Fish? Sagat main eventing in WEXXV? Fuggin' hawt. *rawk*
shamelessposer Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 The release is going to be postponed by a couple of days. Now, before you lynch me or something, I'd like to make clear [i]why[/i] it's going to be delayed. 1.) I've slacked off the last couple of days. Rented the Reservoir Dogs game and bought the latest Harvest Moon game, and I've been distracted. B.) Even more characters are getting added in. Even though I'd decided against it earlier for various and sundry reasons, the Street Fighter EX-series characters will also be included. That's fifteen more characters to stat up. I'm also throwing in a couple of the more obscure Final Fight characters (as if Roxy and J weren't obscure enough...).
MrKain Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I believe that all the older character should be in as well... just because they're close to retirement doesn't mean they can't be useful in a Ric Flair or a Trainer sort of way...

shamelessposer Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 The first post has been updated, giving a more accurate view of the current status of the mod. In addition to the stuff mentioned, there are also going to be a few "hidden characters" accessible as User Characters, rather than part of the regular worker pool.
MrKain Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Like Strider Hiryu, Jill Valentine, Hayato Kanzaki, Jin Saotome, Kyosuke Kagami, and others that appeared in the "Capcom vs." series? Or do you mean guys that are linked to them like Saturday Night Slam Masters and such?
Capelli King Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Street Fighter was one of my favourite original arcade games. That was years ago!

Or do you mean guys that are linked to them like Saturday Night Slam Masters and such?[/QUOTE] ...you'll see. There are eight of them. They're all Capcom characters of varying levels of obscurity, and each is from a different franchise. Five have appeared in arcades (three of those in "versus" games), one started an internet meme, one is an RPG character and one is someone you'll never, ever guess. If you guess six characters correctly before release, you'll get some mod-related prize.
Guest The Aussie Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Sonson (Appeared in MvC 2), Ryu (Breath of Fire), Captain Commando, Arthur (Ghouls and Ghosts), Kyosuke Kagami (Rival Schools) and possibly some character from Battle Arena Toshioden. Am I close
shamelessposer Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 [QUOTE=The Aussie;221860]Sonson (Appeared in MvC 2), Ryu (Breath of Fire), Captain Commando, Arthur (Ghouls and Ghosts), Kyosuke Kagami (Rival Schools) and possibly some character from Battle Arena Toshioden.[/QUOTE] Two of these are right. There is a Breath of Fire character, but not Ryu. There aren't an Rival Schools characters, either, and Toshinden wasn't a Capcom series.
shamelessposer Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 [QUOTE=MrKain;222044]Was any of my list correct?[/QUOTE] Sorry, but no. However, a few of those characters may find their way into the mod eventually in some way or another.
shamelessposer Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 Behold! The most hated man in the data. He's got sixteen "hatred" relationships and one "strong dislike." [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/edirelations.jpg[/IMG]
AdinX Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Is it just me or does Edi E. look like Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks?
MrKain Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 If Edi. E was Uncle Ruckus, he'd be a happy man... because Edi. E is white. :)
