Ok i know i'm new here and i don't really know anyone but i have had dreams over the last few years of what i wanted to see as an "ultimate" fighting game.  it would have just about every popular "combat" anime character (including mechs) along with other cool stuff.  i was thinking of having it based around MUGEN since that's really one of the few decent open-source fighting game engines out there.

here are some features i wanted to implement in a game like this if i ever were to start a project this colossal:

--tons, i mean TONS, of characters (including mechs) spanning at least 25-40 different anime (big ones, obviously DBZ, Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, etc.)

--unique soundtrack of at least 15 songs (probably including copyrighted tracks but that could get legally messy)

--redesigned menus (the MUGEN menus are kind of stale out of the box without major code changes)

--high-definition sprites (probably already been done though, so this shouldn't be a problem)

--bound/bouncing capabilities

--"curve" on the strength of individual fighters but still keep a tier system while avoiding broken characters (it would be unfair if, say, Goku used one attack on Shippo and killed the poor guy, just as it would be unfair if Liger Zero mauled Mudkip or something, but it shouldn't be incredibly easy for someone like Sailor Mercury to demolish someone like Vash or Sesshomaru)

--story modes?

--combo "limitations" (repeated hits can do significantly less damage each time, using the same bounce move twice will not bounce them, repeated hits float the opponent increasingly less and less, etc.) <-- this can help balance the characters in general

--group characters by many categories including the show they're from, their gender, tier, etc.

--online multiplayer

--fan-made character galleries for characters from each show

--unlockables, unlockables, and more unlockables (perhaps playable villains/extras/characters from less-known shows?)

anyway, this is just an idea i'm throwing out there as it's something i'd be interested in at least helping out with, although i have no coding experience outside of MATLAB (but who makes games with MATLAB?) and i'm pretty busy with school.  also, these requests are almost impossible to achieve in one project (tons of characters but still having no broken characters).

there may be projects similar to this already out there, and there are probably full fledged MUGEN games already out there too, but i figured this could be a cool project for everyone to take part in, if you're all interested.  it could be called something with Toonami in it if that helps. 

again, it's just an idea and i understand if it doesn't garner the interest i hope it does.
