Arc Sys has a survey for guest characters in the new BlazBlue, lets blast it with LoL chars
CONTEXT: Arc System Works is one of the greatest fighting game developers in the entire FGC and recently made a mysterious visit to Riot HQ during EVO this year. They are the minds behind Guilty Gear, Persona 4 Arena, BlazBlue, and the upcoming Dragon Ball Fighterz.
Technically this survey is for people that played it at one of the public events, but ArcSys knows already that a lot of people that know about this game is going to write in and made it widely known that they were looking for what players wanted.
Now why should you write in League characters to this you ask? This is a great opportunity, even if it doesn't pan out. It shows to Riot that their is a interest in LoL related games. They've been hesitant to take such a venture in the past and have teased us with leaked failed prototypes and plans that they are financially unsure of. And if it does, it means that Riot might FINALLY do a collaboration with another big name company to create something fantastic for the LoL community as a whole. Even if you aren't a fan of the other IPs in this particular game, seeing a character you love lay the smackdown on another fanbase's stars is immensely satisfying and founds the formation of crossover fighters as a whole (example Marvel VS Capcom or all the guest fighters in Soul Calibur or Tekken) It's literally a win/win. Nothing can go wrong and it takes about 5 minutes or less to fill this out
With that out of the way lets get down to deciding who to vote for. Honestly, any LoL character write is awesome, so do who you want most. You can even just write in "i want League of Legends characters". You can vote for multiples and the space to write in does take a lot of space. But if we have a consensus, maybe we can point out a few that would be especially cool in a 2D fighter or at least give you an idea of who you want to write in. Of my personal opinion, number 1 is
as a grappler (yes i play Zangief and Potemkin im biased) but Blitz is one of the most unique looking and coolest champs we have for grabbing, and his extendo arms give him a LOT of options for animations. I think from a lore stand point and the fact that hes a badass we should make
. Who doesnt want to see Jax beatdown people from other games with his lamp? it's the greatest weapon ever! And his animation in the movie riot put out a while back looked super sick. his spinning and dodgeing would be reall cool to see in a fast fight. another frontrunner
has a lot of cool movement and animations to draw from. Ninjas in fighters tend to be some of the best loved characters as well.
is the obvious choice, being our local martial artist and hadoken master.
was designed off of fighting games, and holds a lot of waifu power. Considering this is a anime fighter this is a powerful quality in the world of weebs.
and
would get a brutal rushdown style down well.
or
could make a good "fill screen with shit" character like Zato-1 or Venom with a lot of unusual animations.
and
are all good choices in my opinon. But like I said, these are just my suggestions. If you ever wanted
or
in a 2D fighter, thats awesome. At the very least, this is a good chance to show Riot that the community would like to see more League of Legends related games!
If there's anyone from any other franchise you would like to see, go ahead and write that in too. Arc System Works has shown a lot of success at getting licensed characters lately so you might get lucky! With them visiting Riot recently they have been in communication so the potential is there. Have an awesome time on the rift, and maybe beyond my friends.
