General

Settings

• When booting up the game for the first time it automatically defaults to the tournament standard settings.

Making it Clearly Known It's A ROM Hack

• Some sort of version/revision added to the title screen?
• Would prefer not altering the in-game HUD colors or anything like that.
• Perhaps a different color background on the character select.
• I've seen hacks that add display screens of text telling you what has been changed and how to access the additional content.

New Characters

Selecting Alternate Characters

• Option 1: Hold start while selecting a character to select an alternate version.
• Option 2: Add new characters portraits and icons to the character select screen.
• Option 3: Hide the new characters "off screen", and go to them by moving the cursor off screen as frequently done with secret characters in other games.

Oboro Bishamon

• Make him selectable.
• Fix his intro. (Is it possible to just give him Bishamon's intros? Is it possible his VSAV2 intros are hidden and just disabled?)
• He is missing color palettes for HK, PP, and KK, they are pure white in VSAV1, would be ideal bringing over the ones added in VSAV2. (actually his KKK color maybe be the same between both, need to double check)
• Does that 'Fist Projectile' EX Move he has in VSAV2 exist in VSAV1, just disabled? That move is really cool and worth considering having enabled if so.
• Perhaps change his display name to "Oboro" or "Oboro Bishamon" if possible.

EX Anakaris

• Make him selectable.
• Needs new color palettes and/or some other way to tell him apart from regular Anakaris. (Adjusting his name next to the life bar?)
• Alternate Palette Ideas:

• The 2 Auto Colors
• Has 2 unused from VHUNT.
• Has 4 unused from MvC2.
• There is some overlap of color palettes between those games so it doesn't equal up to exactly 8.

Dark Force Zabel

• Need to make sure that ANY changes made to him does not affect regular Zabel in Dark Force mode.
• Make him selectable.
• Fix him crashing the game when doing certain win poses.
• He builds no meter with any of his attacks. Does he actually have anything to use meter on however besides ES Guard Cancel?
• Needs additional color palettes. He is monochrome so even primary colors is probably fine.
• Would probably need to do something about his easy infinite combos if he isn't tied to a Dark Force meter.

Hunter Victor

• Victor has unused Punch and Kick Special Moves that are disabled.
• Enable the moves on "EX Victor" and make him selectable.
• Needs new color palettes and/or some other way to tell him apart from regular Victor.
• Perhaps some additional changes to differentiate him from regular Victor.

Dark Gallon

• Give him a full set of 6-8 color palettes.

Selecting Dark Gallon.

• Option 1: Make the code easier, only having to hold Start and press one punch or one kick. More palettes can be added this way as well.
• Option 2: Add him to the character select screen.

Random Select Option That Changes Character Every Match

• Similar to Shadow, but for the following match a character is randomly selected instead of the one you just beat. Similar to how random select works in Garou:MOTW.
• Possibly just use Shadow with a different color palette to represent the option?

A Marionette-like Option

• The same as Marionette in VSAV2/VHUNT2. You'll automatically mirror match your opponent every match.

Additional Colors

Selecting New Alternate Colors

• Option 1: Creating new button combination inputs to select them (perhaps including start, or combinations of punches and kicks)
• Option 2: After selecting your character it allows you to select additional colors by navigating via directional inputs.

Sources of Additional Color Palettes

The (*) with a number next to a characters name is how many new color palettes can be sourced from that game.

Alt Colors From Other Games: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TsjoiV4vGEBKIAEEPOTtuNHM0SWcbCawe4gBprF12UA/edit?usp=sharing

• Auto Colors - 2 for each character (but in some cases they are WAY to similar to other colors the character has)
• Colors from Vampire and Vampire Hunter that did not make it over to Vampire Savior.
• VSAV EX(PSX) - Lilith(6 Morrigan palettes)
• MvC1 - Lilith(need to check), Morrigan(2).
• MvC2 - Anakaris(4), Bulleta(2), Felicia(4), Lilith(5), Morrigan(3).
• CvS2 - Morrigan(2).
• CFJ - NEED TO CHECK - Anakaris, Demitri, Felicia, Jedah

Sources to Take Inspiration From

• SvC Chaos - Demitri(2)
• UMvC3 - Felicia(1), Lei-Lei(1), Morrigan(1)
• TvC - NEED TO CHECK - Lilith, Morrigan

How does altering color palettes affect Bliss and Curse forms?

Stages

Making Additional Stages Available

• Option 1: Do not drastically change characters stage selection pool, but have a chance of fighting on the EX version of a stage and add 'Iron Horse, Iron Terror' and possibly 'Fetus of God' to certain character's possible stages.
• Option 2: True random select. Any character can appear on any stage.
• Option 3: Adding a stage select screen to choose a stage directly.
• Option 4: Creating a "code" to input like in Street Fighter Alpha 2 to select specific stages.

Something to consider is if a stage selection screen is added, a setting to enable random stage select for time saving purposes would be useful.

EX Stages

• Add a 50% chance of appearing on the EX version of a stage.

Iron Horse, Iron Terror

• Add to the stage rotation.
• Is it possible to remove the camera panning at the start of the match?

Fetus of God

• Is it possible to shrink the playable area and make it the same length as other stages? If so, add it to the stage selection.
• If the stage cannot be shrunk, perhaps making it selectable with a secret code instead of adding it to the random stage selection pool is another option.

Music

• Making music from Vampire Hunter available. (long shot)
• Adding a music selection option.
• What conditions does the track "Abayara 2" play in? Only when fighting Oboro, or does it play on the EX version of the stage? If it only plays when fighting Oboro, perhaps make it always play on the EX version of Abayara.
• Are there any other unused or seldom heard music tracks worth taking advantage of and adding to a stage or character select screen?

Other Aesthetics

Japanese to Overseas Region Changes

Restore censorship changes made to the non-Japan regions of VSAV.

• Jedah's red blood turned purple.
• Red blood in the background of certain stages turned green.

Character Names

• Perhaps an option to select the Japanese or English name in the settings?
• I'd honestly be down with just renaming the characters to the Japanese names in the US/EURO ROM.

Win Poses

There are many secret and near impossible to see win poses:

• Perhaps make them come up more often
• Or simply be selectable as other win poses are

Win Quotes

During localization many characters win quotes had some wild liberties taken with them (my impression), perhaps use some more accurate translations?

Gameplay Alterations

Hit Notifications

• Counter-hit notification
• Overhead notification
• Low-hit notification

"Tech-Hit"

Have throw techs display "Throw-Tech" instead of "Tech-Hit", which would be limited to Advancing Guard. A possible issue would be the game vocally still saying "TECH HIT" during a throw-tech.

Training Mode

Ideal features:

• Life Recovery
• Infinite Meter, or at least starting off with 99 meter.
• Stand/Crouch/Jump settings
• Random Rolls
• Automatic Guard with Advancing Guard and Guard Cancel options.
• Display remaining taunts
• Controlling P2's movement with start?
