  People have come from all over the world to compete in the ultimate tournament, set in the colosseum Battlefield.  Some come for the money, others come to test their skills, but all know one thing... it's gonna be brutal.

  First off, this would probably be on Playstation 2 and Xbox.(Probably the two best systems on the planet.)

  Alight, I'd like to start off with characters, gameplay, then the story.

  Characters:

  Red: leader of the infamous bounty hunter team, Raiders, Red has come for two things: one, money for his team and family, and two, to find the jerk who caused the explosion that took his arm.  He doesn't fight with one arm though, he has a mechanical replacement.  Red's attacks partially focus on his robotic arm, but he is unusually agile. He has the hand of his mechanical arm attatched to a chain, allowing him to propel his hand towards his opponent.  This can hurt because there are blades attatched to the knuckles.  He has a variety of punches and kicks, some of which can knock his opponent skyward for short distances.

  Leo: the youngest of all the fighters, Leo has come to see what he can do.  He is also the most agile.  Despite this he is surprisingly powerful.  When using a hard punch or hard kick, he will create a shockwave around the area of impact, further damaging the opponent.  He can jump higher than everyone else, which comes in handy when fighting opponents who can shoot energy blasts.  Leo can also shoot some energy blasts.

  Jergette: He is an alien, from a planet no one knows about.  He stands roughly 11' tall, towering over his opponents.  He is able to take a beating and effectively dish one out.  There are four claws on each of his hands, allowing him to firmly grab someone and literally fling them across the colosseum.  God help the fool who stands in the way of this juggernaught.

  Cornielius: one of the last vampires on earth, Cornielius is also one of the most powerful.  He is white with semi-long gray hair.  His chest is extended forward because of enhanced muscle, so attacks on his weak spot, his heart, are useless.  He has evolved to the point of being immune to sunlight, allowing him to fight anytime.  He is very agile, powerful, and, one of the few things more dangerous than Jergette.  His biting ability drains the stamina, rather than blood, of his opponent.  No one knows why he came.

  Panther: last of the Pantherdus tribe, Panther has come to regain his lost honor.  He is, quite possibly, the most powerful person here.  He wears a costume that resembles a panther, like all before him.(hence the name)  He jumps high, hits hard, and is armed with a variety of energy blast attacks.  In the story, he will come to be Leo's mentor.

  That's all the characters I'm going to list that really need mentioning.

  Gameplay:

  It's a fighter, so alot of the attacks are traditional punches and kicks, but for som characters, blast attacks can be performed.  The fighting system itself would probably be like DBZ: budakai.( Not a whole lot of people may have liked that game, but I like the way it played.)  The blast attacks are kind of simplistic, they don't have names or anything, but each character has different ones.  There are differences in power, color, and size of each blast.  Colors are not changed, but the size and power of a blast can be upgraded with experience points.  Attacks can also be dodged.  A charachter can also block an attack depending on the situation.  Characters like Jergette, aren't quick enough to dodge a large blast, so instead they can punch it away.  This will then cause little damage to the character.  They can also grab the foot or fist of an opponent and throw them down.  The fights all take place in the colosseum Battlefield, but it not very boring.  Opponents can be thrown into walls, pillars, or even the stands, that will get wrecked a different way.  This also depends on the severity of the throw.  A light throw will crack a surface, a medium throw will break a surface halfway, and a hard throw will send an opponent through it.  Throws usually involve swinging the control stick, and the harder the swing the harder the throw.  Also, the fights are on a 2-D plane.

  Story:

  A lot of this depends on the character you choose.  After choosing a character, you play as them the whole game, but in different modes like training, dueling, and knock-out(explained later), you choose different people each time.  The story will revolve around your character and his or her goal, with other main events, like Panther becoming Leo's mentor.  In all stories, after you complete your goal, a dark entity known as Rosifus lands in the arena.  Now is the ultimate test of your skills.  Rosifus is a being who has taken the strength of all his foes, a wandering parasite, and has found his next meal, you, and all of your friends, or enemies, in the tournament.  It is advised that you have many of your skills pumped up, or this battle might be more than you can handle.  Rosifus appears to be a man, but with wings and horns like a goat on his head.  He will fly around and dive down at you.  Try your best to grab his hands and ground him for a few seconds, depending on how much you hit him.  When he's out of health the cutscene that plays will be like this.

  Rosifus pulls back and gets very angry.  He then flings a massive punch that nearly knocks you out.  As you fall Rosifus moves in to finish you off.  Then, he feals a tap on his shoulder.  Rosifus turns around to see everyone from the tournament standing around him.  Jergette makes his way through the group and grabs Rosifus around the neck so hard he faints.  Then, with all his might, Jergette launches Rosifus out of the colosseum as if he where a ragdoll.  You stand up and look around and everyone is cheering.  You talk to everyone about Rosifus and why he came.  Everyone comes to the conclusion of "Guess we'll never know....."

  Secret characters, like Rosifus himself,can be unlocked by beating the game a certain number of times.

  Now for the knock-out mode I mentioned earlier.  In this mode you chose a character and see how many people you can take down before you get knocked out.  The more you take down, the better, because this mode can unlock some of the hidden characters.

  Well, thats all I have for this idea so if anyone has a comment or suggestion let me know!

  Note: this would probably be T for blood and violence.
