That said, Timeslaughter is a pretty awful game, and I'm not interested in including anything from it.
THAT'S the kind of answer I was looking for. No "not enough space" or "let's finish what we have", just a plain and simple answer. Ah well, let's see what else I have... *Looks in indie game folder* Obake based Tigbox?

Obake's a cool game. Do you have a suggestion for what the TIGBoxer would do?

Since having a ghost character fly around and possess other players might be a little annoying/tough to code, I was thinking just have one of the purple enemies run around a little, throw bones around Castlevania axe style, and then leave.

Harry Flowerpower already does that, and he's more iconic.

Obake himself, then. Jump onto a player's head and temporarily replace the player with an AI of slightly less than medium, say like level 3 or 4 AI going by Super Smash Bros difficulty.

Is AI for the perfect world edition or is it being worked on for serious atm?

AI will be added soon. Taking control away from the player is never fun, though. Ever. That's a big game design no-no.

Well, there's not much else that can be done with a game about a ghost that possesses monsters. Unless that lizard monster's going to appear and throw boomerangs about.

Reversed controls for a few seconds? I'm not sure how appropriate that is, as I haven't really played Obake. But It would certainly be more fair than totally removing a player's control.

Maybe it gets harder to move, as in if you stand still you'll slowly walk in certain directions and such, and if you move it'll randomly struggle against you or even go in the same direction as you (the equivalent of letting the rope slack in Tug O' War)

Sounds like a good idea. Kind of like a L4D2 Jockey, but you can still attack.

IIRC reversed-controls were long-ago classed as being almost as frustrating as completely losing control; a concept I totally agree with, as a player. I'm afraid I've got little more to add, though I stand by the rest.

And if we don't use this idea, better not put Obake at all, because I don't see what else we could use

Reversed controls are a challenge, and it confuses the player. But it doesn't remove their control entirely. It's actually rather an effective way of simulating a confused (or drunk) character. But it's probably not a good idea in a fighting game, unless it allows the target to be invincible for a very short time so they can get away from the fight (as that's probably how the player would want to deal with it).

I'm just posting in here to say that I discovered that Jun'ya Ota (AKA ZUN) actually appears to have a Facebook. I don't know Japanese, so I only he can speak enough English to understand me. I will see how this goes!
Edit: I have sent him a message in english; I hope he understands it well enough.

has anyone considered asking introversion whether we could use anything from darwinia or defcon? a darwinian stage or a defcon nuke in a tigbox would be awesome or how about cliffski from positech to see if we can use a gratuitous space battles ship for a corneria type stage?

To be honest, none of those ideas really appeal to me. A Darwinia stage could be okay, but Darwinian landscapes aren't really that interesting. A nuke wouldn't work because it would be overpowered, it isn't a character, and it's not unique to its game. None of the ships from GSB are iconic enough to be a stage.

funny question. if "Cave Story" belongs to Nintendo now, why are we considering adding "N" stuff if it has a sequel both on NDS and PSP? who has the rights now? is pixel death and nicalis stole his brain?
