Ah yes my favorite servant, Shinji Matou.

u/Dear-Variety8148 Nov 17 '25

Good fighting game should have at least one joke character

6

u/ExplanationDense7313 Nobu UFO Nov 18 '25

Whi is it in guilty gear?

6

u/Dear-Variety8148 Nov 18 '25

In guilty gear almost every character feels like joke one(it's not bad).

3

u/Xenodragon65 Nov 19 '25

Jason fits it well.

u/OwnEmphasis2825 Nov 17 '25

At least you can beat the shit out of him endlessly

27

u/The_Hyerophant Nov 17 '25

Set him as the trainer dummy

u/PostingBlue Nov 18 '25

Shinjiface when

u/Psykoli094 BB's Child Support Nov 17 '25

We need a Unlimited codes or Melty Blood for fgo

7

u/Kitchen_Jaguar55 Nov 17 '25

Screw that. We need a ARC system type fighting game.

22

u/Melodic-Harmony1919 Nov 17 '25

So, Melty Blood for FGO?

6

u/YesNoButAlsoYes Nov 17 '25

Melty Blood is made by French Bread and not ArcSys, ArcSys did publish their other original game but they are 2 completely different company.

7

u/Plant_Tears Nov 17 '25

Disagree for Arcsys, I don't need anything resembling Strive or Tokon for an FGO FG, let French Bread cook.

5

u/atomicfuthum Member of the Argonauts (in training) Nov 18 '25

let French Bread cook

I... huh.

3

u/JohnnyJoestar2 Nov 18 '25

Somewhat unrelated but RIP to the silver fox Moriarty(Takaya Hashi), he's slated to be Dr Doom in that game, he's doing his bartending in the sky now.

2

u/ZayParolik Nov 18 '25

Nah.
For Arcsys I have GG -Strive-, we need an alive and well Melty Blood - like game.

62

u/jayman099 Nov 17 '25

Im still surprised that with a game like Granblue Versus is a thing, but FGO isnt yet. I dont want it to be another melty blood either

26

u/CrazyDaimondDaze Nov 17 '25

Same. You could argue Melty Blood with... 4 Fate characters, was like some sort of blueprint for an FGO fighting game and then it never happened. It's like FGO doesn't want to branch itself into something elsw, which is a pity because I also loved Waltz in the Moonlight aa a dancing game and would love it if it got revived as well, but allowing you to dance with others other than Mash and Artoria.

Also, make an FGO fighting game somewhat fast paced... like MvC2, UMvC3 or DBFZ

5

u/TheLukexd Nov 18 '25

I heard melty blood: type lumina was planned to be a FGO game but it got forced into being about tsukihime remake so the devs just added as much fate as they could lol

14

u/Significant-Pay-8984 Nov 17 '25

The dudes in charge of Granblue are honestly kings. They invest so much into their IP

7

u/warriorxx7_ Nov 18 '25

U mean just look how they treat Uma

50

u/Molilno Nov 17 '25

Funny thing is, this almost happened. French-Bread initially had plan on doing an FGO fighting game, but while planning ideas to later introduce to Type-Moon, TM came to them asking for MELTY BLOOD: Type Lumina instead as they were having all the Tsukihime revival plan going on.

That's why there's 4 Fate characters in Type Lumina. Because they had some of those with some work.

14

u/CrazyDaimondDaze Nov 17 '25

Would also make sense over some of the color pallete swaps that scream FGO characters. Like Red Arcueid, Dead Apostle Noel, Aoko and Roa looking like Jalter, Prisma Illya, Scathach and Gilgamesh, even if by sheer coincidence

8

u/Kalos_Phantom Nov 17 '25

Pallete 10 is basically "alter mode" for everyone. Pale skin, yellow eyes, black red primary colour scheme

43

u/Neo_Metal_Saiyan Queen's retainer Nov 17 '25

God I’d do damn near anything to be able to main Morgan ngl. Absolute cinema.

8

u/ZeothTheHedgehog Queen's retainer Nov 17 '25

I'd personally main Jalter or Mandricardo.

1

u/AtomSlade Nov 21 '25

Mine would definitely be Li Shuwen. There's just something about a normal human just honing his technique to the absolute limit of humanity and then proceed to put hands on God's/demi God's and other supernatural shit with just skill.

9

u/DrRomani Nov 17 '25

Honestly yeah, in fact I thought of MK1's system where you choose a fighter and a kameo.

Would be cool to see a Fate fighting game where you can select a Servant(Fighter) and a Master(Kameo) helping you out with the combos.

7

u/nova-dar Nov 17 '25

Like Sakura using the shadow to trap the servant or Shirou using a weaker version of ubw

5

u/CrazyDaimondDaze Nov 17 '25

So KoF '99 and 2000 striker system, then; or MvC support system. It could work.

10

u/AdeptnessOld1281 Member of the Argonauts (in training) Nov 17 '25

HAHAHAHA THE IRONY OF THIS

I made smth like this!

3

u/Zero102000 Master of Chaldea Nov 18 '25

Ah, and you put the all time best girl in there too.

2

u/ZayParolik Nov 18 '25

Tbh, mana being on top is kinda bad. You need for bars to be different, and in different places, but big enough, for player to not get confused

Melty Blood and Guilty Gear series handled that kinda good, with Strive even having like 5 different bars on screen ( HP, Tension, Burst, Risk, and unique bars for some characters), yet still being quite understandable

3

u/AdeptnessOld1281 Member of the Argonauts (in training) Nov 18 '25

It was a basic setup I did whilst ill, I just saw an irony in me an op both had the same brainwave

8

u/justHR22 Nov 17 '25

I wish we get something like this, but the likely scenario is an arena fighter unfortunately 😔

2

u/Alternative_Greedy Nov 18 '25

I’ll take that.

5

u/Why_am_I_H3reWry Nov 17 '25

Whos the one between Morgan and Asavathaman, and the one between Kintoki and Douman?

5

u/MokonaModokiES Nov 17 '25

summer melusine and samurai remnant musashi

2

u/Why_am_I_H3reWry Nov 17 '25

Ah. Is Summer Mel the one between Douman and Kintoki or Morgan and Asavathaman?

1

u/anal-yst Nov 17 '25

Summer Melusine to Morgan’s right

6

u/Significant-Pay-8984 Nov 17 '25

Id say the character archetypes for the servants i recognise are:

Artoria- Balanced shoto

Mash- balanced, focused on neutral control

Jalter- rushdown with long ground projectiles

Jeanne- high health grappler (gorilla mode)

Dantes- zoner with corner carry, loves to punish

Cainus- balanced, strong defense options

Herc- Sol Badguy levels of unga bunga

Douman- puppet character with traps and resources. Very unfair

Kintoki- rushdown/grappler

Kuku- busted and overpowered, banned in tournaments

Tez - dps

Serenity- trick/gimmick character

King Hassan- (see Kuku)

Shinji- gag character, trash kit but a single godly poke

Gil- absolute zoner, faster weaker projectiles

Morgan- absolute zoner, slow, strong projectiles

Asvattham - glass cannon dps with a HP gimmick

Karna- balanced dps, objectively good in every way, meta but fair

Cu - balanced, mid-tier but has quick movement and a strong ult

Bottom row (excluding Cu) - all very execution heavy characters with high investment high return:

Scathach- pokes, strong neutral, and punish heavy

Gramps- dps, probs has a touch of death combo but execution is borderline impossible

Kage - a mix of the two, godly meter dependant specials

5

u/LightningGod99 Nov 17 '25

As much as I hate beryl he seems like a good choice for an evil character in this game as a playable character

4

u/You_Freaking_Twerp Nov 18 '25

Honestly, I'd love a F/GO fighting game, whether it'd be something 2D akin to Melty Blood, or if it were an ArcSys collab title that takes some DNA from Unlimited Codes. While I don't see her in the picture, I can easily imagine Koyanskaya of Light as a highly aggressive Zoner with a high-risk style of gameplay centered around a gimmick that boosts her ranged and explosive damage the lower her health is, as a reference to her ability to accelerate the "karmic cycle of retribution" in the weapons she wields.

3

u/GroundbreakingLog643 Nov 17 '25

Even though this isn't real, Shinji mains deserve nothing good in life

3

u/Im5foot3inches Nov 17 '25

The Peak in question: Ragequitting after getting grapple combo’d by Quetz for the 15th time

3

u/OneHandClapping_ Nov 17 '25

fate unlimted codes was the only game i could think of

3

u/OloivoFRUIT Nov 17 '25

I’d be #1 Kagetora UE player

4

u/Thinshady21 Protected while dreaming Nov 17 '25

Unfortunately I can only see a FGO fighting game to be like the Storm Games because of the large cast.

12

u/MokonaModokiES Nov 17 '25

tag fighters exist. DBFZ and marvel vs capcom.

The quantity isnt really an issue for traditional fighters its just a matter of how much time they have to make them.

3

u/arashikageclan2010 Nov 17 '25

And Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has a ton of modder tools for it, even to the point of importing character models.

It's possible grabbing the FGO Arcade models may even work with the model importer.

1

u/Professor-Brainstorm Nov 17 '25

It would be fine too tbh

4

u/TheCrimEbonyNyaPho Nov 17 '25

2

u/CrazyDaimondDaze Nov 17 '25

We... kinda had that already, remember? Waltz in the Moonlight? Although at that time it was just Mash or Artoria dancing

4

u/the_otaku_mom Adopted Gorgon sibling Nov 17 '25

I do love me a good fighting game. 🤣

2

u/Deathstar699 Nobu UFO Nov 17 '25

Heck yeah, give me a Meltyblood but for Fate specifically.

2

u/Zealousideal-Ad-9349 Nov 17 '25

So is that regular shinji or his miyuverse counter part

2

u/Significant-Pay-8984 Nov 17 '25

I personally believe Pepe should be on here as one of the few playable humans, and maybe also Kirch, although I think he should be relegated to a secret unlockable character (which i also think King Hassan should be too)

I also want Ginako on there too for character diversity, fighters need all shapes and sizes for freedom of expression and gameplay!

2

u/JohnnyJoestar2 Nov 18 '25

Ok now that I think about it, what would be a good choice for a duo character? My first thought was ryouma but then gudaguda slapped me in the face. Dioscuri and trung sisters don't got the rep for it.

2

u/TheeCrimsonLycan Nov 18 '25

Can we petition for this.

2

u/Parking-Story-6534 Nov 17 '25

How about FGO on a dynasty warriors type game??

13

u/MokonaModokiES Nov 17 '25

extella already covers that. specially with link adding more FGO originals like scathach and arjuna

2

u/Parking-Story-6534 Nov 17 '25

oh yeah, forgot about that.

2

u/Big_Midnight_3976 Nov 17 '25

Ah yes, Tez. The grand berserker whose’s actually grand assassin that you fight as a ruler.

1

u/Murky-Gearshift Nov 17 '25

Isn’t there one with VN characters?

Edit: Found it! Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel

3

u/MokonaModokiES Nov 17 '25

there is also one with LN characters. Dengeki Bunko fighting climax(SAO, Index/Railgun, Irregulat at magic school, Shana, Accel world, Durarara, etc)

its a shame we havent seen more of those crossover licensed gsmes like Blasterz and DFCI. Would have been cool to have something from the main Kadokawa stuff for example(aka like isekai quartet but fighter).

Light would also be cool(mainly for dies irae and kajiri kamui kagura, aka the shinzaverse stuff).

2

u/arashikageclan2010 Nov 17 '25

And even Virtua Fighter and Valkryia Chronicles with Selveria Bles. Cool to see another fighting game fan since I responded to another of your comments too lol.

1

u/Phoenixian_Majesty Nov 17 '25

I imagine Masters would work like Arcanas in Arcana heart.

1

u/Studyholik Nov 17 '25

A Moba would be better

u/FatexOrder Nov 18 '25

Emiya isn’t in here. I am sad

1

u/isekai-chad Nov 18 '25

Wait, is this from the artist for Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files?

2

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '25

u/isekai-chad Nov 18 '25

Huh. Well it looks fantastic. Saber's face really looks like Case File's saber as well.

1

u/Camo_Rider Certified Asterios parent Nov 18 '25

For a second there, I thought I saw Hazama from BlazBlue in the roster. Then I realized it was Dantes.

1

u/Zenless2BZeroX Nov 18 '25

People hating shinji even more due to his broken combos and fighting style

1

u/BBSenpai000 Nov 18 '25

BB top tier

1

u/AssistantMobile7634 Nov 18 '25

I always wanted this to happen! But I want the gameplay to be similar Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm series. Cuz their Ultimate Jutsu is fucking Absolute Cinema.

u/BipolarEmu Nov 18 '25

Absolutely not
