Story mode?
I had a random idea come into my head that I feel is very interesting. What if there was a story mode?

Like, for example, there is a slideshow (That you can click through) that has text to back up a storyline (Like a visual novel, without the hentai or loli). Maybe it could be like fight club or maybe it could be to save a girl, or something really creative! You can choose the decisions you make which also ends up with you fighting different AI. Like this:

There is two roads to take.



And what would make this better is if it all ends with Uke.



This was all a suggestion I just thought of, tell me what you think.

EDIT: Maybe I wasn't exactly clear. Okay, maybe AFTER each slideshow/text sequence/what the fuck ever, your choices lead to who you fight, which KILLS the slideshow and bumps an AI for you to fight, just like single player. Only thing is that all the AI have different looks, different fighting styles, and, if you want to Minibash this, different sized limbs/proportions.

I'd prefer challenge mode.
Like "Get to X in < 1000 frames", "Make it out alive" (being put initially in a bad position), "Kill uke in less that 300 frames".

Imagine an uke running away on its own and you have to catch a weapon and throwing it at him ?

When I said this, I meant in-game. These texts, depending on which option you choose, will affect who you fight with and what side of morality the storyline will put forth.
If the game has no AI what would be a purpose of a story mode?

Toribash has no AI that is capable to fight and react to moves that player is doing.

So, you watch a 10 min story to be pitted against a dummy that moves one hand and then you kill it?
Veeeeeeery interesting.

Not to mention that to be able to code AI for TB we would need some genius from NASA. Are you gonna pay his salary so you have something that maybe you and other guys (that can be counted on the fingers of one hand) consider interesting?

There is a way to have this (in a way), but it would include some mayor overhaul of the game engine.
Guess what?
It ain't gonna happen in this century.

But we can still have a challenge mode. I'll make a thread about it.

I'd like to combine your idea with mine:

What about the story mode is in 2d,you kill people and recieve tc lesser than 2k or extra 100 games free or something like that.
Bye bye toribash

That's not an AI, it's just a bunch of joint movements that Uke does, he does not act depending on how you act. If you are about to punch his head far away over the horizon he doesn't really do anything to stop it.

if you want Qi and TC you should play Multiplayer.
Don't want people to have too much TC and Qi just from beating the story mode again and again.
