WALUIGI VS
THE AUTO-SERVER
THE FIGHT OF THE CENTUARY

And Wario fights a football machine or something.

OR: the Mecha Bowser robot could breath fire and throw hammers until it throws an about-to-explode bomb-omb; Waluigi could smack it with his tennis racket and send it flying back. BOOM!

The robot can take 3 or 4 hits before being destroyed. Then Bowser Jr. takes off, crying.

In all the examples of Waluigi's tennis racket being used, the same thing could be achieved with Wario's charge.

BUT WALUIGI NEEDS LUV

And my idea, the SERVER, isn't the same without a tennis racquet.

Wario's charge doesn't work that way, when it's used in any Wario Land game, the victim flies off the screen. Waluigi's just knocks them forward, and they don't die until they hit another enemy.

I don't think Waluigi should have a tennis racket.

I mean, shouldn't we be trying to define him as a normal character, as how he would be in a normal game?

Tennis does not define Waluigi.

This.

Bombs being a cheap sly trick defines Waluigi.

All for bombs?

Yea.

Yeah, I'm for bombs.

In that case, let me change around the Mecha Bowser fight a little:

The fight would involve around waiting for opportune moments to toss bombs at the robot's one weak spot: its head. After taking three hits, the head springs off and reveals a totally defenseless Bowser Jr, who can simply be jumped on for damage. After the whole process is repeated three times, the robot collapses and explodes, sending Bowser Jr flying through the ceiling.

Then again, the idea about the machine that makes miniboss machines is cool too. We could use both.

Well, his first appearance was in a tennis game, he's evidently been playing Tennis for quite some time, and sending everything right back at you is a dirty, lazy way of attack.

I like how some of you guys spend so much time in the brainstorming topic, while there's a LOT of other stuff to do.
Did you ever think that your opinion in this topic would have a higher value if you actually contributed to the game?
The engine needs more stuff, there are tilesets to be made, sprites...
What are you waiting for?

lock this till work gets done

But wouldn't it help to decide on some of the basics before you start programming everything?

Also, just becuase we don't post, doesn't mean we aren't doing anything else/ Although I can't speak for everyone else though.

See, the engine encludes a system to create almost all enemies that are sprited so far.
All of these enemies will be in the game anyway, so it won't hurt if someone adds them.

Also, I didn't adress you when I said "some guys".
Because you have your name show up in the WIP Graphics topic.
The "some guys" I was referring to have their names in no other topic than the Discussion Topics or this one.

EDIT:
Oh and before I forget this:
We've taken around 2 months to decide on those "basics".
What we have now IS "basics". And now, "WORK" needs to be done.
"Basics" doesn't include that all bosses need to be planned into the smallest detail.

The chance to actually be able to do something. I'm here to compose, but you've said that that has to wait.
Or were you not referring to me?

When you're here for the music, no problem.
DJ Yoshiman said that musicians need to have the full level to be able to compose good music. Until we have such a level, there's not much to do for you, I'm sorry.

I am not a good spriter, and I don't know how to use GM. Good excuses

So what else needs to be brainstormed? Bosses?

I don't think anything ATM, and Oct 21st is coming up reeeeeeallly fast.

We just need to get some work done.

This is right.
The brainstorming topic is not in the least important!

It just exists as a place where you can store an idea so you won't forget about it.
When there is something important to discuss, there will be a !Discussion! topic.
Please, don't put the high priority on this topic, instead head for the other topics and do some work! We have around 4 weeks for something decent to present!!!

Just got a random idea

How about one level that Bowser's "new and completed" Midas Machine turns a village entirely into gold? Like, he travels to some random Toad village to test it out, and proves how strong it really is. So now he's trying to lure Mario to his castle by... I dunno... Kidnapping Princess Peach? :P
Then the bros. find this level a little later on, see that Bowser and Syrup have the upper hand, yada yada yada, they now have even more of a reason to go after them.

Of course, that would mean the machine would have to be at least partially portable, which is up to the concept artists to figure out.
