THIS IS THE QUESTION
(taking it too far already) Okay so I feel like the Utena fighting game would be 1v1 BUT there would be a character you pick as your assist. You would select your Duelist and your Rose Bride basically. idk if i think the assists would attack but they would be able to give you some kind of bonus effect and maybe would have an associated super you get through them? Something like that? yeah. and this would be the character select theme.
Okay so Utena is probably like a standard shoto allrounder type, since she's the main character. she's probably like djeeta in granblue or something, but with a Dios Install super obviously. She's probably fun but a little basic, I'd secondary her or something maybe. I wouldn't want to play Saionji or Touga regardless of what they do (Saionji probably does like, Iaido stance kind of stuff and Touga probably fishes for counters since he's about scheming and making you own yourself. Oh and obviously Touga also has a super where he shoots cars at you, thats a given) so they're out. Miki is probably a charge character so he's kinda low on my list (Black Rose Kozue i think might be like a motion command variation on him though -- think like Washizuka and Kojiro in Last Blade but not actually playing like them). I feel like Juri is a Chun-li kind of character where she's focused on like poking you out, I bet she has a grab move she can use to reposition you but maybe not do damage, like Iori's Scum Gale or something. She might be appealing too but idk. I wanna go all in, you know? And nobody is more all in than Nanami. Nanami is bloodthirsty. She's gotta be the one.
honorable mentions to Anthy who is probably like Hisui from Melty Blood where all her moves are just dropping things or making you fall over by watering the ground in front of you or dusting, but can also summon Chuchu to do goofy Neco-Arc type things (and also her supers are like actually serious. she has a fullscreen super where she destroys the dueling arena like that one part of the OP and one where [SPOILERS]), and Black Rose Wakaba who is fast and powerful but all her moves make her lose health or something. Or maybe she just has like no health at all. ...Look I'm gonna be brainstorming this okay?
Who owns the rights to Utena we HAVE to pitch this
I really want this game to exist now, dangit. I'm in the wrong timeline, AGAIN.
akio is the boss character at the end of the game. he doesn't get an assist, he won't accept help from the rose bride or anyone cause he's an egotistical shithead and also everything else wrong with him
except for one exception, when you actually fight him at the end of the story mode, where when you beat him he gets revived and you lose 90% of your health when Things Happen ;) and you gotta fight him again
