How about a One Piece fighting game by ASW?

I realize that this may not be the right place to ask, but since the ASW website doesn't have a forum...

After playing Guilty Gear for a couple of years and just recently getting into BlazBlue, I realized that Arc System Works has an amazing talent for creating a hardcore fighting game that "works" while featuring characters that are pretty out there in terms of their fighting style.

One Piece is a pirate manga that had a lackluster performance in NA because of its horrible TV localization but that is extremely popular in Japan not only due to its epic story, setting and memorable characters, but also its ability to attract and retain readers of all sexes and ages. It has recently become the highest selling manga in Japan, surpassing even the mighty Dragon Ball series. There's no question that an arcade fighter based on the series would sell very well.

The series features a bunch of characters that fight with weird powers (for example, the main protagonist has the properties of rubber). I'm sure that if there's one developer that could do the series justice with a proper fighting game that people will actually keep playing years after release, it's ASW.

Namco Bandai currently has the license and have already made a few underwhelming attempts at a fighter with it. However, I noticed that ASW had partnered with Bandai in the past for Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors on the Game Boy Advance.

Would a game like this be a possibility?

Oh man, if there was ever a big red button that said "Abort," this would be the that time I would want to press it. I'm all happy for people wanting to make licensed games but for Aksys, I prefer their own original games. A lot of licensed material rarely stands up to the calibur in which most companies invest in their own games. <.< I would say focus all that energy into a new Guilty Gear or localization efforts in bringing over other good games I want to part with my dollars towards.

Oh man would I love to see an ASW One Piece fighter. It has a lack of amazing games for such an amazing series, and with all the kookiness there is potential for epic! I'm sure this is just a huge dream, but even if Aksys didn't localize it I would import it so quick Aksys' shipping of the BB joysticks would look slow. FUND IT! I'll be over here, enjoying my dream.

U WA SHOCK?

Err, no. I'd like to see another Hokuto no Ken (localized this time) maybe, but not particularly One Piece.

And the Funimation dub was decent, unlike the 4kids one.

i have to agree with Griefy, ASW should keep improving their fighters instead of bringing a whole new one, beside if people really need an idea then how about telling ASW to fu**ing improve their training system and raise it to tekken and street fighter level (or similar), i mean have you seen tekken and street fighter extensive training system that will turn a god damn noob to a state champ in an hour....ok maybe i went too far but the point is it's better then entering a stage with moveless AI and expect me to know it all by my self without help.

But that's exactly my point.

Oh and the SFIV trials are not that great. They just tell you: "OK, now do this (often impractical) combo". The bonus DVD that came with BlazBlue CT and had tutorials for each character made by pros was much more informative and featured actual strategies and combo set ups.

Besides, it seems like Continuum Shift will have trials in its training mode.

Knowing your BnBs aren't bad. SFIV had a few in there actually and the game has a link based fight system (totally hate it...) so those combos were actually usable if you had the system down. I do agree that that Bonus Disc that shipped with BlazBlue was by far the best I've seen for any fighter and im sure that the trials in Continuum Shift are not gonna be such a painstaking task like S/SFIV. I have much more respect for Aksys and their fighters, as well as Virtua Fighter than I do for this gen's Street Fighter, DoA, or any fighter that has came out of NamcoBandai past Soul Calibur II.

i hope you guys are right about the training system being improved, because copying some one from a video isn't as when i correctly excute the combo my self.
at any rate TC i apologise for coming on like this.

It couldn't be as bad as SFIV challenges (Yes, they are THAT bad, and Tekken 6 was just worst). Besides, if you're trying to figure something out in a fighter you have the command list and this thing we like to call a Manual. Manuals should be the first thing you look at in a fighter so you can get the basics down.

of course i know the basics, in fact i know the whole fighting system from top to bottom in blazblue and you can say i have great deal of knowledge in the game, BUT i suck big time at executing combos in blazblue, i won't mention guilty gear because that's a WHOLE different world, you can say i'm the type of guys who love football and know every thing that goes on about it but have zero percentage at the sports skill.
strangely enough i do very well in tekken, yet GG and BB are my fav fighters which always aggravates me

Well Snakeyes, I know it isn't an ASW fighter but some scans finally showed up for Gigante Battle, formerly Project Jet. Don't know if you played Jump Ultimate Stars but it looks a lot like that except it's only One Piece characters. You could probably find the scans by just googling it. I still think it would be great to see an ASW fighter for One Piece though, and insanely profitable for all parties involved. It's a really popular series and I think given the right approach it would be a great game. Also DJ Daishi I would love to see another HnK game from ASW. Spent all last summer duking it out with a buddy before he left for the Air Force. I enjoyed deciding the destiny.
