This would be the Skull Knight King.

It's actually a mech from Mamoru Nagano's epic fantasy comic, The Five Star Stories; was flippin' through one of the FSS Design books one night when I suddenly realized, "Huh!  That looks like...!" 

What would be your own badass CVJ alternates?  Post 'em!

I've been manic about FSS ever since I first saw the Jagd Mirage in the fall of '98; I barely mentioned it because I was busy talking about CVIII & Slogra. :]  I'm only very recently discovering the FSS prototype in HM L-Gaim, so on that note, HOLY SHIT!!!  GIMME FANSUBS!!!

But cirrusly, folks, this was meant to be a picture thread, so plz, keep the fun going by throwing up tha pix.  I don't remember a Skull Knight in Berserk, then again it's been a loooong time since I saw it...was it only in the comic?

Yeah, the Skull Knight was only from the manga (though he might show up in the new anime). Here's a pic of him (he's the guy on the horse).

If you guys want, I can redraw all the Judgment characters how I would envision them in Judgment if I had the art direction and modelers to fix it.
We 'can' somewhat patch that game... might be a fun thing to try out... >_>

Post by: Inccubus on August 31, 2011, 08:23:35 PM
Go for it! I'd like to see what you come up with.
As I've said I'm all for modding Judgement, although that really won't fix the controls.
Title: Re: If CastleVania Judgment was badass,...
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on August 31, 2011, 08:38:12 PM
What part of the controls was bad, exactly?  I don't really think they're bad.  I was always using a Classic Controller though, so maybe that's it?
The game used the following controls on CController:
Left Stick = move
Right Stick = jump
L Button = block
B button = normal attack
(Hold A) + B = charged attack (where you would hold A for a while and press B, and depending on how long you held it, various specials would happen)
R Button = dodge (combine with a Left Stick direction for a directional dodge)
A+B = Finisher (when the combo bar is filled enough)
X = Super Finisher (combo bar filled to max) <--- the evil game-breaking move, though it really wasn't that bad as long as you knew how to block
L+B = Guard Breaker
Y = Sub-Weapon
B+Y = Object Action (depending on character, it would place a juggle-generating bomb on an object, or would chuck the object somehow to the opponent).

Remember that 'modding' can also mod these actions.  If you could improve the control scheme, how would you do so?
Would you perhaps assign Jump to a button, and control the jump direction with the L button?
Maybe you would assign directional dodges directly to the right analog stick?  Hmm...

Post by: Deko21 on August 31, 2011, 11:23:02 PM
The only terrible thing aside from the character art is the camera. Other than that, the game is just mediocre.
Title: Re: If CastleVania Judgment was badass,...
Post by: Kusanagi on September 01, 2011, 12:26:11 AM
Since I became a fan of Castlevania pretty late, and Judgement being the first 3d game I played in years, I actually found their character designs alright (Outfit wise I actually like Simon as he is, though thats probably because the barbarian look in general hasn't ever appealed to me). But I can agree though that the designs might have strayed too much from their original design like Death, Grant Dynasty and even Dracula to an extent. The controls I had no real problems with at all, except when using the nunchuck controls. Probably my only real nit pic is some rebalancing for some characters. Dracula is meant to be a boss of sorts, but he can ignore enemy hits and can hit back pretty hard. Aeon though my favorite to use, his energy beam might be much compared to the other characters.

So while Judgement wasn't exactly the best castlevania game, at least it pulled off the fighting mechanics to a passable degree (except when using the nunchuck controls; now that makes the game barely playable). That being said...

Would be interesting to see the designs you have in mind. If I can help with the art direction, I'd be glad to give it a shot

-Kept the clockwork round chakram blades
-Added a number of kunai-holster belts so he can hold the weapons.
-Kept the mummy-style bandages, but only within his chest and under the tank top.
-Ragged up his clothes to resemble those of "Ghost Grant" (the Hulk-like version of him you fight as a boss)
-Kept mostly the style choices of Symphony of the Night's "Zombie Grant" with the shoes, pseudo-vest and ninja-like facemask/scarf.

Zombie Grant had a face mask?
Not bad design, I think the most important thing in a replacement model for him is that he not be unnaturally skinny & not reminiscent of a mummy at all.

Yep. If you look closely at fake grant's sprite, he's wearing a face mask.

As for the drawing, it looks good. But for some reason it reminds me too much of strider hiryuu...

Post by: DarkPrinceAlucard on September 01, 2011, 07:04:45 PM
To be honest I'm really not into Grant looking like a japanese ninja.

I have always though of him a agile european pirate.

But its still a nice picture.

IIRC the idea of him being a former pirate is made up NA BS. I'd still ditch the face mask, though.

(now assuming I inserted the image right...)
I decided to take a crack at Simon's design (rough sketch for the most part), which has some borrowed element designs of the Judgement version and the PS1 remake version. Can't say its the most unique looking, but I wanted Simon to look as close to the PS1 version as possible without it being a direct copy of his outfit from there.

Though personally Simon's Judgement costume seems alright to me anyways xD

Ultraman? hmm... the Ultraman series and Castlevania don't really mix well, for one their size difference, then second the obscure series (though I do know about the series, not much but I know the series xD). When I say obscure, I mean not many in the western countries would know of Ultraman.

Least with that Skull knight robot I can picture a fightable size against Castlevania characters, but Ultraman is a tad hard to picture xD

Hmm, who did the opening animation for dawn of sorrow though? Not really familiar with which artist did what, but that one definitely had an anime like direction. Have the game too, just need to get around to playing through it (just finished Aria of Sorrow).

Since that Dawn of Sorrow played much similar to its predecessor, I can assume the game is pretty good still - least in my opinion. And a good number of people love Soma so I don't see how an anime art direction will effect how the character is viewed. Julius is another good example, least from how many people I've seen favorite him alot. Shouldn't it just come down to how the character is presented in game by the actions they preform?

Well regardless, an opinion is an opinion ^^" Not everyone likes anime artwork

Someone else did Dawn of Sorrow's Art as well as Portrait of Ruin, Ayami's Art style is distinctive, and very apart from the anime universe.

I think it was more of Judgement not looking like anything you've already seen, just with different hair/color.
Anime is a Decent Direction, but Castlevania and Anime just Doesn't mix like a Tye-dye Shirt in TRON.

Anime today is very less appreciated mainly because the effort is Downhill and mostly Recycles from Previous other media, that and U.S. Otakus seem to be less casual with thier fandom.

Ah, I see your point. Since Im just more analytical of the character's personality, the presentation of the looks don't really matter that much to me. That said, some of the costume designs given to the characters I actually liked, but the taste varies (especially for the fans who played the games those characters originated from).

Unless it was the actual costumes themselves (like what they did to death, grant, etc) that effected the view of the character, that would be a bit more understandable. We can't say that a character/game is less awesome just because anime was used as their art style (If we used the same costumes but had a different artist for example, wouldn't that change opinions of the game?). Personality wise Maria needs work, Death's costume needs fixing, as does Grant and Dracula in my opinion. The rest seem alright as they are.

Course again, this will come down to the person's taste and not everyone is happy with how the characters were represented costume wise. The anime artstyle I find would be a nit pick at best, but then again there's some bias in that statement as I do watch anime. So whatever the taste in art style, the personality and the character's actions should matter more (just like I say gameplay should matter more than looks, though once the gameplay is solid, the looks should be next in line). But that's just in my opinion again ^^"

It's Ultraman codenamed "the next" I think. Nexus' design came from "the next", since it was the movie that sets the story for Nexus.

More realistic artwork; they should've gotten the artist who did OoE perhaps, since they were both released around the same time and were probably in the works together.

They would've included Richter. Or Soma, or Julius.

Maria. Maria Maria Maria. One of my favorite characters in the series absolutely disgraced by the story in this game. I am ashamed. Replace her with SotN Maria, ditch the comic relief, and have her time rift desire be... I'm tapped for ideas right now, but something, almost anything, would be better than the story now. And if they had Richter there would be more possibilities for her story, too.

Bloodlines Eric would have been very, very interesting to see.

Just some of many suggestions. Also, I love the character redesigns in this thread.

::Buzzed post::

Again, people, PICTURES PLEASE.  I'm not following any of this spout unless it's a 1,000-word picture.  Take your confusion about foreign cartoons elsewhere.  This isn't the fun I intended it to be.  Unt on that note,

(On the real notes, she was intended as a gag post from the getgo; following this, Zeldo & I'm out.  This's just turned out to be yet another one of those fun-meaning threads that imploded on itself.  You guys just took it way too seriously.)

If Judgement was awesome they would have a fighting system that has death scenes similar to the newest Mortal Kombat game.
As long as the engine does not revolve around combo your enemy to death shinanagins and involves trapping, eluding and countering I am down for it. As for the art make it dark and menacing not anime.

Ok, that's fair enough. I just want a Castlevania fighting game that would be more like a boss fight, which is incidentally how I think most fighting games got their origin i.e. from the greatest gaming series ever made! PERIOD!!!!

Side note I would love to see Castlevania DLC for Mortal Kombat 9. I think it works.

I would have said Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

Anime art isn't just limited to big sparkly eyes and brightly coloured characters it can be downright dark when it wants to be, besides Iga was specifically targetting a young audience when he decided take a anime angle so naturally the result doesn't represent just how mature anime can actually get.

Ultraman is great. Stop connecting the Ultramans to a horrible thing like Menace.

It is because they're so great that I tried to make them fit in this thread.

I would make Menace a little hobgoblin with a muffin for a hat.
