Introducing Team Sonic Fighters, an MvC style MUGEN Sonic fangame. It features everything you've come to know and love about the MvC series, and more!

 

The game features tag team gameplay, complete with assists and snap-backs.

 

The combo system works as follows:

Team Sonic Fighters combo rules:

Light Normals > Medium Normals > Heavy Normals
Normals > Unique Normals > Special Moves > Hyper Moves
Assists can also be used during combos

I hope you like it!

 

Join the OFFICIAL Team Sonic Fighters Discord server! https://discord.com/invite/RdEwxt9

 

There's also a demo build available for download there, but I advise against downloading it unless you like broken and janky stuff. (Alternatively, you can download that build here.)

Now for a much needed update on what's going on:

After some internal debating, I have decided to delay the release of Demo 2 to June of this year. Additionally, I'm going to be spending the next week on vacation, and I probably won't have internet access, so don't expect any videos until I get back.

 

Also worth noting is that I added a direct download link to Demo 1 to the first post for those who don't feel like going to my Discord server just to download my game. I do still encourage you to join it though.

[KingdomWorld37]

That would be great 

[GeorgeMP]

A surprise development update from yours truly:

Here, I showcase Espio's normals, throws, and other basic stuff.

[GeorgeMP]

All reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

Here, I showcase Amy's Normals, Throws, Special intro with Sonic, and other basic stuff.

[GeorgeMP]

Here's another one:

Here, I showcase Espio's special moves.

[GeorgeMP]

Sorry to keep you waiting:

Here, I showcase Amy's special moves.

[GeorgeMP]

There comes a point where one must acknowledge their limitations. A point where one must admit defeat and ask for help.

 

For me, this is that point, which is why I've decided to recruit developers.

Disclaimer so people don't complain(can't understand why I have to put this here but oh well):
YOU WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY MONEY FROM THIS. Just deal with it.

And with that out of the way, let's dive right in:

First off, I'll need you to join my Discord server(at least, for now, I'll see if I can figure out a way to handle it all outside of the server later).

 

Also, I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY COMPETENT. So it would help if you would show your background, as well as some of the things you've made or done(for example, if you're looking to join the team as a sprite artist, post your sprites).

 

And now, here's what I'm looking for:

• Programmers: Should be self-explanatory.
• Sprite artists who can make good Sonic Advance/Battle styled sprites: These sprites are quite a bit smaller than most fighting game sprites, so they should be pretty easy to make.
• Playtesters: Again, self-explanatory.

If you think you're up to the task, you can join by saying in either a post in this thread or a PM sent to me, that you would like to join my team, what role you would like to have out of the 3 specified above, as well as your existing work and (optionally)your background.

 

That's all, thanks in advance.

[GeorgeMP]

Bump if no-one minds.

[GeorgeMP]

Anyone?

[GeorgeMP]

A bit of an update on the status:

I have a sprite artist and a programmer. However, we are still looking for playtesters. To get started, simply join the TSF Discord and go to #dev-recruiting. From there, just type out your playtester application, or message me right here on this forum. It's also worth noting that we're still accepting applications for programmers and sprite artists(see above messages for details).

As for development, it is still progressing smoothly. For Demo 3, expect major gameplay changes.
