Lore Ideas
Lore ideas that can be sorted by series. (It's the same as scratch ideas but it's a second article to make things easier to read....)
Blazblue
Show spoiler
Skit idea: A larger group of characters meet up on peaceful terms prompting one character to ask one of the Blazblue cast what their deal is (probably Ragna)
Ragna: Uhhhhhhhhhhh....
Ben: Oh god, are we explaining the BlazBlue lore? Ok, here we go take a deep breath
Jeff: There is no time for that.
The conversation continues as normal with random interjections from Ben explaining the foundation of Blazblue.
Ben: So one-day a man made a robot that ate god, and then god-robot got mad at the treatment of robots as slaves and started a war...
Ben: The devil noticed this and decided to assume human form and assist the humans in creating something that destroyed all reality.
Ben: this made god-robot sad, so it reset the universe in an attempt to avoid the apocalypse which just happened anyways with the same outcome. So the second time it happened god-robot decided to loop the same 24-hour period over and over again until something else happened, this brings us to the first game.
Ranga: Wait I'm a video game?
Ben: I mean to my perception, to someone else perception I could be a video game.
Chris: THIS IS NOT A GAME!
All characters in the frame stare straight into the camera.
The idea for interactions between Jin, Tsubaki, and Hakumen:
Wait Jin, Tsubaki, and Hakumen are ALL on my roster?
That's an awkward f**king car ride.
One's oblivious,
One's pining super hard
And one's PAINFULLY AWARE OF ALL OF IT.
"You think of me as a brother, right Tsubaki?" Jin
"...what do I have to do in order for you to see Jin? That I...I!!!" Tsubaki
Ragna: Uhhhhhhhhhhh....

Accel World
Show spoiler
Haruyuki Arita / Silver Crow would give into despair for a bit about no longer being able to help their friends, but from the left of the frame striding out like she owns the entire F)(king universe would be Fūko Kurasaki / Sky Raker, saying something along the lines of "Kuroyukihime didn't raise no quitter" and attempting to channel the energy that had them in their Duel Avatar states in the first place while mimicking the actions of nearby fighters.
Through this channeling, she would summon a Rider Belt made of blue energy, and do some kind of transformation chant (transformation speech, transformation catchphrase? IDK what they call those.) Transforming into a Kamen Rider-themed version of her Duel Avatar Sky raker. (In game terms it would be the same character with a different skin over top. a change only in aesthetics). Possibly with a Kamen Rider 01-themed Announcer. (In kamen rider 01 when transforming the morpher will say something depending on what form the person is taking like: "Shotrise! Rushing Cheetah! Try to outrun this demon to get left in the dust." The breakdown of this announcement is, The kind of transformation taking place: "Shotrise!", The form being taken: "Rushing Cheetah!", and a brief description or Bio of the form: "Try to outrun this demon to get left in the dust.") This could be especially fun due to the Bio part of the announcement since the transformations are based on the characters and their psyches. For example: "Accelerate! Sky Raker! Whether on the ground or in the void, You can't outmaneuver this shining Cosmonaut."
Inspired by this turn of events Haru would attempt the same thing. He would succeed the only difference I thought of was how he and his duel avatar are completely different shapes, which we could TOTALLY hand wave, but this idea tickled me. The difference is that instead of Haru equipping a Kamen Rider version of the Silver Crow armor, a Kamen Rider version of the Silver Crow armor lands in front of Haru, with its eyes turned off, and ejects something that looks like a CD drive-out of the back of its neck. This CD drive thing shines a light on him and digitizes the butter ball into the suit. Once Haru is completely absorbed by the suit, its eyes light up to represent Haru is in control, the CD drive recedes back into the arms neck, and a piece of armor close over the top of it to protect it. (in gameplay terms would play the same as Silver Crow but might require a Rider version of all his summons, which might be a hassle. Although we could use the Silver Crow that doesn't have a summons for specifically this character, making a totally new character from existing assets)
For Rin, I don't know much about her character but wrote about her being too scared to do anything sitting on the ground when a hand touches her leg. Startled she turns to see Ash Roller (her? her brother?) motorcycle, has transformed into some kind of state (too confusing to draw should probably setup this idea differently with an already transformed motorcycle but then how will the audience know it was the motorcycle? Maybe have it in the frame, then the camera pans to the right pushing the motorcycle out of frame, and a bright light flashes from the side of the screen it disappeared on, and in walks Ash Roller???) HOWEVER we do it, the figure (who is her brother Rinta) tells her that she has nothing to be afraid of and she can kick as much ass, or not MORE than Haru or Fuko. Finishing his transformation into a Kamen Rider version of Ash Roller, Rinta runs into the frey leaving Rin to do her own transformation. I have no idea what she'd change into or what powers it would have. I just feel like Rinta took Rins place in Brain Burst and she doesn't get a chance to play as much as she should so now this is a chance for her to be her own person and make her own way. I could be totally misinterpreting the character however so theirs that. (Gameplay wise: This concept would actually involve making 2 unique characters, which might make the use of this Idea prohibitive)
An alternate version of Ash Roller: Rinta controls the bike but remains a motorcycle, while Rin transforms into a more "Rin version" of the Ash Roller character, with Kamen Rider's affectations. (Gameplay wise this reuses the Ash Roller character, it just replaces the person riding the bike.) Burst points This example uses Ragna from Blaz Blue but could be any gruff sardonic character.
One of the burst linkers: It's so freeing to get to fight and not have to worry about Burst points!
Ragna: Yeah, the only thing you have to lose is your life...
Haru: WHAT?!
The Kamen Rider Conundrum
OBSTACLES: To do this idea would require the creation of additional art assets, which may make following through on the idea not worth it.
The idea behind this piece was that at some point, due to the plot, the Burst linkers would be knocked out of their Duel Avatar forms into their normal human ones. Possibly including Kuroyukihime / Black Lotus but maybe not due to her difference from the others. ALSO I imagine that while Ash Roller's Body would transform back into Rin, the Motorcycle would INEXPLICABLE stick around (Because it houses Rinta's will/consciousness)Haruyuki Arita / Silver Crow would give into despair for a bit about no longer being able to help their friends, but from the left of the frame striding out like she owns the entire F)(king universe would be Fūko Kurasaki / Sky Raker, saying something along the lines of "Kuroyukihime didn't raise no quitter" and attempting to channel the energy that had them in their Duel Avatar states in the first place while mimicking the actions of nearby fighters.
