A game mode is a specific set of rules that dictate how a match should be played. Bionic Fighters will have many different game modes, but we are still open to suggestions. You are welcome to suggest game modes in this thread! Confirmed Game Modes
Classic: - The objective is to reduce your opponents' lives by knocking them out of the stage while preventing your own lives from being reduced
- Getting knocked out of the stage results in the loss of one life
- Damage increases the amount of knockback received
- When a player is knocked out of the stage, that player's damage is reset to 0
- When a player runs out of lives, he or she loses and no longer respawns
- If the game is untimed, the last player remaining wins the game
- If the game is timed, the player with the most lives at the end wins. If two or more players have the same amount of lives, players who are knocked out of the stage will automatically lose all of his or her lives. This continues until there is only one player remaining.
Deathmatch: - The objective is reduce your opponents' lives by doing a certain amount of damage to them while preventing yourself from taking damage
- The "certain amount of damage" is referred to as max health or damage threshold
- health points (abbreviated as HP or hp) = max health - damage
- Getting knocked out of the stage results in damage being dealt to you and will cause you to respawn. This damage can cause you to lose a life.
- Knockback is unaffected by damage
- When a player loses all of his or her HP, he loses a life
- When a player runs out of lives, he or she loses and no longer respawns
- If the game is timed, the player with the most lives at the end wins. If two or more players have the same amount of lives, every player will automatically lose all but one of his or her lives and each player's HP will be set to 1.
Dethrone the King:
- The objective is to become the "king" character by the end of the match.
- The game starts with no players being kings. The first player to knock out another player becomes the "king."
- The player that knocks out the king becomes the king.
- The king only takes 150/(playercount)% damage (adjustable).
- Getting knocked out of the stage while not being the king results in a timed respawn penalty.
- If the match is timed, the match ends when the time is up.
- If the match is not timed, the match ends after a player remains king for a certain amount of time.
- All non-king players cannot hit each other.
- The king can hit all players.
- Players are scored based on the reverse order of becoming king. For example, the second-last player to become king is 2nd place, and the third-last player to become king is 3rd place.

Some off the wall ideas
The Floor is lava: standing still longer than ( )seconds starts to deal increasing damage to the character.
Hot Potato: normal attacks done by players are reduced, damage done by items based attacks increased but will explode dealing damage to the player holding them if held over a small variable time limit.
Masochist: Damage done to players deals smaller percentage damage to self (might make the players defeat others with more efficient methods, also a bit of a hard mode).

I like the Masochist mode, and after a certain number of games like (200 to 300 )games of that mode, that could unlock an in-game extra: weapon, stage, or Achievement.

These aren't really modes, but more like "settings" or "modifiers". I will make a new thread for these. Edit: Click here to go to the thread. Modes are really more of "what is the main objective here?" type things. |

Stock has been, and probably will always be my favorite game mode. Until the development of Bionic Fighters progresses and we add in the Stretch Goal for the Brand New Elimination game mode sounds super slick!!!

As for actual game "modes", some suggestions:
Arcade mode like every other fighter.
(Unlikely) Story mode.
As for battle modes:
Team Deathmatch- ELIMINATE THE ENEMY TEAM What is a party brawler without teams?
3 on 1- Exactly What It Says On The Tin. 3 vs 1 player, but the player alone is twice as strong to make it a fair fight.

I've had this idea for awhile that's been inspired by Quake where every so often an item (be it offensive or defensive) would spawn every 30 seconds from pickup in the center of the stage. Nothing different, maybe more spawns for larger stages, but just to emphasize stage control and the mental aspect a bit more.
Other than that, how about some form of Vampire mode where you need to deal damage otherwise you die? This "bloodlust" meter can be separate from your %,and if it runs on empty you will die regardless. Of course that was ripped from TimeSplitters but it's such a fun mode regardless.

Good modifier suggestion! Again, this thread is for game modes, where the main objective is unique and cannot be changed. Something that changes a part of gameplay is a game modifier. |

I honestly think Turbo Mode, the mode off of Project M 3.0, would be a great idea.

ndukauba- I haven't played Project M personally. Can you elaborate on this "Turbo Mode" or point me in the direction of a YouTube video of it?

Here's a video of Ganandorf in Turbo Mode. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssSVolw61jk&list=UUCfOTX8l2zpgiALWKBx43MgPretty much, Turbo Mode is a mode where certain moves that couldn't connect after certain actions, or couldn't cancel in to each other, can now be executed, so long as they connect the hit. For example: If Mario were to use the Super Jump Punch on an enemy, he is a sitting duck until he lands on the ground, however in Turbo Mode, if he hit an opponent with the same attack, he can follow up with absolutely any move except the move execute previously. So, it would be, Super Jump Punch, then any attack besides Super Jump Punch, then he can either use another attack, or follow up with Super Jump Punch again, etc. I hope I made sense. If not, check out Project M's YouTube channel to get a better understanding. www.youtube.com/user/ProjectMelee |

Also you can cancel into air dodges and jumps, which is a bit weird at first (airdodging instead of l-cancelling because you're just used to normal mechanics) but can be pretty useful if you master it.

I just thought of some completely weird game mode. Ball Mode: - Instead of players trying to fight each other, the goal is to juggle a "ball" as much as possible
- Players will be unable to hit each other
- Hitting the ball once will increase the player's point count depending on the amount of knockback dealt by the attack; the speed of the ball also affects the amount of points earned (faster = more points)
- If a player hits the ball off of the stage, that player loses 10% of his or her points
- If the ball falls off the stage naturally, there are no penalties for each player
- If the ball falls, hits the stage, and doesn't bounce, then the player who last hit the ball will get 1 point
