Dawntrail 8-man Raid Pitches (Spoilers)

[Rydia_Misuto]

I have never loved anything in this game as much as I love Arcadion. Arcadion is absolutely perfect. It's a massive love letter to pro wrestling and managed brilliantly. I especially love the fact the announcer reacts to what happens and is fully voice acted. As a giant fan of what it's paying homage to I have a ton of pitches for future content within this raid series and if even one of these ideas gets used I would be over the moon.

- Do an homage to the greatest ridiculous angle in pro wrestling history, Eddie Guerrero VS Rey Mysterio Jr. in a CUSTODY BATTLE MATCH. WINNER IS THE CHILD'S NEW PARENT. they set up the adorable little sister so they could TOTALLY do something with that

- I want an inferno match

- I want stuff where you have to force the opponent to engage with mechanics and you win by doing that. maybe a table match-type thing where they lose a a ton of health if you trick them into smashing through a table

- I want QTEs where you jump off the turnbuckle on an opponent (I SAW THAT SAVAGE ENRAGE AND I'M SO HYPE ABOUT IT YOU BETTER BELIEVE)

- I want a royal rumble where it's a bunch of jobbers and then minibosses and then the really big boss(es)

- I want the president to come out and recreate IT WAS ME, AUSTIN and I think they might actually be setting that one up. "Who killed my sister????" "IT WAS ME, BLACK CAT!!!! IT WAS ME, ALL ALONG!!!!!"

- I want the eddie guerrero fake chair shot where they try to beat you by framing you for a DQ

- I want literal match interference complete with another ref bump (that had me DYING in the third one oh my GOD I loved it so much)

- I want more opponents who cut promos

- I want SO BAD to fight someone who's shilling merch I thought at first that's where they were going with the energy drink at first. "DAMN, THIS FIGHT'S CLOSE. BETTER DRINK MY DOUNTAIN MEW™️ ENERGY DRINK TO CATCH UP - IN STORES NOW!"

- I want a match where you have to do simon says emotes to work the crowd and if you do you get like a free LB3 or something

- I want an opponent who does a fakeout KO where they hit 0.1% and fall over and they start the count and get back up just before it finishes with half a bar of hp (that feels very Savage mechanic)

- I want a fight where the opponent tries to beat you by ringout at some point so they set the ring on fire and you have to avoid getting 10 stacks of "count out" by finding gaps to jump back in and reset the count-out and they spend the whole time either gloating or trying to knock you back out of the ring. ideally some kind of tank swap thing where the tanks have to be opposite sides

- I want a tag team match where the gimmick is you have a duty action that swaps out for a partner of the same role and if you don't swap in time you start losing stats and eventually get KO'd and your partner either automatically swaps in for you or maybe you both die or something (that'd be pretty annoying with pugs but I'd love it so much I wouldn't care)

Yeah alright but have you considered how melee is supposed to keep uptime during all this? :^)
