Jiggeh — Fighting game character design 01

Description Name: Niklas
Origin: Sweden
Fighting style: MMA
Design notes: Since I'm from Sweden of course I wanted to come up with a Swedish character.  Scandinavian FG characters are pretty rare, and the few that do exist seem to be either vikings, or not Scandinavian whatsoever (like Chris from KOF). I wanted to come up with something more believably Swedish so with the growing popularity of MMA that seemed like a sensible choice.

He looks like Alexander Gustafsson.

He is not based on him really, but I could see that. His design has changed quite a bit since this version, though ^^

I agree Scandinavian characters aren't very well represented in fighting games.

My personal idea for if I had a fighting game would be a Swedish metal musician who utilizes a brawling style where he incorporates a guitar as a blunt weapon as each protagonist can do in the "Dead Rising" games, but again strictly as a blunt weapon rather than being able to fire off projectiles from it like he's some otherworldly figure.

That could be accurate as their is a huge metal scene in Sweden, specifically around the Gothenburg area.

Keep up the good work!

Anytime dude, but seriously I see how a bunch of other people are posting ideas on your thread for some cool concepts. Do you think you might take them up on any of them and try to make character designs out of them?

He's good. But I prefer to lose the mustache and beard. Add a headband to keep the traditional hero (Ryu, Liu & Kyo) going.

スウェーデン人!〔゚Д゚〕

確かに格ゲーではほとんどいないよね。KOFのクリスの国籍は知らなかったけど、彼もスウェーデンだったのかー!

カラーリングがスウェーデンっぽいイメージだね。Jiggehさんの主人公かな?でも、スウェーデン発祥の格闘技って知らないなぁ。MMAって総合格闘技のことだよね?


ゲームの世界(特に日本)では、スウェーデン人を主人公にしたゲームを見たことがないので是非彼を主役にして欲しい!

でも主人公だったら髭は剃ったほうがいいかも?きっと爽やかイケメンになっちゃうww

肩のタトゥーがトレードマークだね!

Jiggeh In reply to kamiomutsu [2013-11-13 16:46:28 +0000 UTC]

何故クリスはスウェーデン人か謎だよねw ゲームの中はヒントが1つもないから知ってからビックリしたよww


このキャラは・・・主人公ってことは、最初考えて作りたかったキャラでそのときは何となくそのつもりあったかもしれない。けどそれから彼より好きなキャラを色々考え付いて迷っちゃったww 正直ではストーリーなどはまだあまり考えてないので決めてない。とりあえずは、SNKっぽくストーリーを強調せずもっとバーチャっぽくキャラタイプやプレイシステムから考える順番で進むと思う。


MMAは総合格闘技のこと、うん。スウェーデンは国的な格闘技は特にないけど、最近すごく人気が出たMMAにするといいと思った。


ヒゲはダメか?www まあ、変わる可能性もあるかもね。今のデザインの仲には本当に完成したものは1枚もないと思う。まだまだ色々を考えて描いてみるので、細かいところまではまだ決まっていない。ドット絵に移植できるかどうかも確認しないといけないとかさ・・・

kamiomutsu In reply to Jiggeh [2013-11-13 17:34:53 +0000 UTC]

うんうん、キャラクターを動かせたら格闘ゲームのストーリーなんて気にしないもんねw

でもドットでゲーム作るの?すごい時間がかかりそうだねー(;´д`)...まさか一人で作るの?


ヒゲのキャラがダメだとは思わないけど、主人公だったら若々しい感じの方が受けがいいと思ったから。ライバルキャラや悪者とかだったらなんでもありだと思うけどw

まだまだデザインも変わっちゃうのかな?でも色はこのままでいって欲しいですね!

確かに予定はまだまだそんなにないよねw でも、できるだけ作ってみたい。今はそのためにMUGENって格ゲー作るソフトのプログラミングを習っている。もし作らなくても、作られるようにデザインしたいんだね。ところで3Dの練習も必要だからCGを頼ってドットを描く方法にしたい。(KOF13など見たいなしかた)

デザインは、このキャラがそんなに変わらないと思う。だが細かいところをちょっと磨くはずだ。k

なるほど、3Dでキャラクターを作ったら正確な絵が早く描けそうだね。3Dって難しそうだから私はやらないけど...すごいねJiggehさん!


ところでMUGENって、私も遊んだことあるけど、自分好みのゲームにするのが難しいね。(KOFのキャラを集めてたりしましたが、3on3の対戦が出来なかったのでやめたww)

さすがkamiomutsuさんはMUGENのことをよく知ってるね(^^)

それにまだまだ予定(というか想像)なのですごいと呼ぶのがちょっと早いよww

I often start there, that's why I asked. Or at least, somewhere in the development. I like to try and tailor the design to how the caharacter woukld fight as much as the moves are tailored to who the character is.

I also remember Xion  from the Bloody Roar series being Swedish. I'm still waiting for a Finnish character to hit fighting games haha.


I dig the dude, he's got some sweet tattoos and I see he's a Tre Konor fan He seems a bit too skinny for a MMA user to me though, but I guess that's only because the only MMA fighters I've seen are from a heavyweight division or something.

Jiggeh In reply to CubaNectie [2013-11-13 13:04:13 +0000 UTC]

MMA fighters come in all shapes and sizes really. But he's not meant to be small... not super bulked up but above average height. I will have to put together some proper scale comparisons later on.

Not really, just not "small". I haven't worked out the details of exact measurements or anything yet, though.
