Xbox All-Stars Fighting: Who We Would Pick

By Michael Shelton / June 4, 2012

2) The Dishwasher (The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai)

Anyone who rage quits a dishwashing job in order to devote themselves to a life of destroying monsters and undead, is probably someone that you should avoid in a fight. Avoiding this individual is more than likely in your best interest, especially if they happen to be a highly skilled and deadly samurai. The Dishwasher would be an incredibly valuable asset to Microsoft should they decide to copy Sony, who is copying Nintendo. Imitation is the highest form of flattery right?

Special Attack 1: The Dishwasher grapples an enemy, launches them into the air, and does a vertical slice upwards. Skilled fighters will be able to link this attack to multiple other moves, as well as continue the vertical slice and launch the enemy higher. Special Attack 2: The Dishwasher warps behind his enemy stabbing them and then launching them in any direction. A follow up attack finds the Dishwasher warping behind them again and blasting them into the ground with his shotgun. Special Attack 3: The Dishwasher grapples an enemy, blasts them multiple Uzi rounds to the face, then tosses them into the air. As the enemy falls back to the ground, Dishwasher retrieves his chainsaw and watches as the enemy lands on the spinning teeth. Ultra Attack: The Dishwasher calls upon his "Dish Magic" as enemies on screen are caught in the wave of unleashed dishwashing aggression.

1) Xbox Live Avatar Creation

With many fighting games including the option for character creation, it seems that Microsoft could easily include this aspect to a future brawler. Start by allowing players to implement any avatar connected to their gamertag, and provide a moderate selection of options for gamers to select from. An even more impressive feat would be to uncover a way to take full advantage of the Avatar Marketplace and allow players to purchase armor, gear, and weaponry from other titles that could directly impact gameplay of your avatar in Microsoft's brawling title.

Microsoft would be able to enable gamers to purchase different fighting styles, special attacks, and even ultra attacks, that are unique to different gaming franchises on the Xbox. This could all be customized within the character creation screen, and allow for supporting the title further down the line with additional DLC. Just don't put it all on the disc Microsoft. Just don't.
