This idea would be great if they implemented it into the right gameplay mode. I'm not sure how the capture the dragonballs mode works because I've never played it, but I think it should work a little like this:
-The game is divided up into 2 teams which I think, with this gameplay mode, would best fit good vs evil characters (as in, the show's good vs evil characters. Like you can't have buu on the "good" side) since in the show, the bad guys want the dragonballs for ultimate power and the z fighters try to stop them. Anyway...
-Each player has 1 life, but powerlevels should start off especially low in this mode making it harder to kill people at the start of the match (in other words, there shouldn't be one hit kills).
-The game is seperated into rounds, the round is over when a team captures all seven dragonballs and uses one of there wishes to win the round.
-The team with the most "round wins" in the end wins the "game".
-When a player dies, he is sent to other world (king kai's planet if you are on the good side, and in hell if you were on the bad side). In otherworld, the players can choose to fight each other in their dimension (good vs good, bad vs bad) to raise their powerlevel so when they get wished back, they return more powerful than before, or they can spectate the game if they want. Each player in otherworld is only allowed 1 communication with the living, which they can use to help out their team in locating a dragonball, cheering them on, or telling them to please wish you back you have the highest PL, etc. If you are the only one dead at the time you can train versus bots (assuming decent bots are made for ESF, if not, then we can figure something else out).
-When a team captures all 7 dragonballs, the person who has all 7 can make 3 wishes, but must make them quickly because the other team will still want to kill the "wisher" and take the dragonballs for themselves. Wishes include the following: You can use a wish to wish someone back from otherworld. There should be a list of each player on their team who is currently dead next to a number, and the wisher just presses the hotkey to make that wish come true. The other choice is to wish to win the round. There is a catch though, whoever is dead, remains dead from round to round, so, if you are in dire need of more help on your team, it might be wiser in the long run to use all three wishes to wish three team members back instead of using only two for dead members and one for the win. If the "wisher" does not wish for the win, the dragon will disapear and the dragonballs will appear in random spots again and the round will continue. You might think it would be boring in otherworld, but if you have someone else with you dead, you can just fight with each other just as if you were in a deathmatch game, raising your powerlevel so when you get wished back, you can surprise everyone with your power. Also, powerlevels should raise quicker in otherworld than they would in the normal dimension. If someone is dead over the course of many rounds, just imagine how powerful he would be when he would be wished back. I think it would really add a nice twist to the gameplay.
Any comments on this new gameplay concept? (I think its new)
