I'm going to bring it back to the good ol' days of videogame history:
Standing at arcade machines!

I hope I do something good with this.

Thanks! I'm trying to figure out where I want to go from there. It's kind of cool looking to see the hands move around, though there are only four images in the sprites... One for each direction.  Tongue

I thought arcade games had 8?

So, another thing: is this WarioWare style? Will you be hopping from machine to machine, playing retro games?

If you want ANY help, please,PLEASE, just ask! I really want to join a TIGS compo, but I don't have anything besides ideas!

It does have eight - four for each hand.
(If left is up and right is right the input would be upper-right diagonal)

You should just make a generic fighting game to manually control via the hands.

Okay, here's my advice:

You are at a CHAMPIONSHIP. Yeah, seriously? The goal is to please the fans! So, start up a game, play it for the alloted time, maybe there's a goal you need to reach (complete level, gain this much points, etc.), and when done, you run to the next machine in line and play that! You could ask TIGers for ideas for what these games will be, and thus it would have the TIGer soul entwined within!

Oh, doing cool things, finding secrets, completing 'bonus goals', all will add to the amount of 'fans' you got, and you can use a bonus move, when you have reached a certain amount of fans, to do a super cool trick on the arcade (action commands, or maybe just a little clip?) which instantly racks up and does the goal, and you get to move on to the next one with no chance of failing. Running out of fans (by getting hurt, game overing on one of the arcade machines, etc.) is how you lose.
