[Take It Sleazy]

Guile, Dhalsim, Chun-Li, and Zangeif are in the Harvey Birdman game so I guess Magilla Gorilla is a W2!

Uncharted multiplayer has characters from Killzone, Resistance, and Infamous and also famous (un)dead dudes like Francis Drake, Marco Polo, Genghis Khan who I'm sure we'll tie in when we start going through the Civ/Age of Empires type games

Ilomilo has Meat Boy, Josef, Goo Balls, and Victor Neff from The Dream Machine
Ilomilo/Kingdom for Keflings/Raskulls all tie in to each other with characters

King of Fighters and Metal Slug have some trading back and forth

[Take It Sleazy]

the list is updated some

added godzilla, ultraman, super sentai characters, inch high private eye, marcus fenix, strongbad, marty mcfly etc

[eskaibo]

If the wiiU smash brothers comes out with a MII chracter all of our digital representations, plus the obligatory Jesus and tranny-Hitler will all be two degrees away.

[Gorblax]

Custom characters cannot be counted for this or else the character creators in the Soulcalibur series would put everyone at 3.

SNK vs. Capcom has Firebrand/Red Arremer in it too as a secret boss character, so you can tie in all the Gargoyle's Quest games.

Also if you count Marcus and Dom as characters in Lost Planet 2, you can count Frank West as well, so that opens all of the Dead Rising games up.


Space Invaders × Pac-Man adds the Space Invaders, who were also featured in Battletoads so there's a connection to the Double Dragons too.

Terry Bogard was also in Neo-Geo Battle Colosseum with a few Last Blade characters, so Kaede, Moriya, Akari, and Keiichiro are all W3, while the other Last Blade characters are W4.

NGBC also features characters from the World Heroes series, which at some point included Doc Brown, so Doc Brown is W4 which shortens Mcfly's link to W5. This link also potentially opens up Jack the Ripper, although the Jack in WH2 Jet is kind of a pastiche rather than the actual guy, from what I remember.


Akira was also in Fighters Megamix which opens up just a big link to basically every single AM2 game (via the palm tree).

[Hojulas]

Vic Viper brings in the cast of Zone of The Enders 2 at W5, and ZOE1 cast at W6 via Leo Stenbuck.
Don't think the GBA game has any actual appearances from the PS2 characters to link it though. But you can use the Raptor as a linking point via henchman exception at which point might as well use it to link ZOE 1 too.

On that note, you can use Stormtroopers to open up the Star Wars games links even more if you want to get around to picking out the individual ones for any specific characters to those few games with no movie characters actually in game, for instance you could easily link all the Dark Forces games from the very first one that way.
Not that I'm hating on Gonk.

[Take It Sleazy]

The Space Invaders in Battletoads and Doc (Sugar) Brown aren't official crossovers (because they are copyrighted) so they don't count but everything else is mostly good

Frank has a higher ranking in Marvel Capcom or Tatsunoko Capcom

I agree that Stormtroopers are a more specific link to star wars games

[Take It Sleazy]

It doesn't change the ranking at all but Meat Boy is an unlockable in Nu-Spelunky

Also between tekken, the sega characters, and super robot wars, cross zone is gonna turn the list upside down

[smartblue]

Indeed.

Nina Williams == Tekken 3 ==> Jin Kazama == Project X Zone ==> characters from Mega Man X, Darkstalkers, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Resident Evil, Sakura Wars, Virtua Fighter, Valkyria Chronicles, Space Channel 5, Shining Force EXA, Resonance of Fate, Dynamite Cop, Super Robot Wars, Xenosaga, Tales of Vesperia, .hack, God Eater Burst, Legend of Valkyria, and that weird Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier game.

[smartblue]

Powerful link ahead:

[Take It Sleazy]

Okay so Twisted Pixel has their own mini universe

The Maw is in Splosion Man who is in Ms Splosion Man. The Star from Comic Jumper is in Ms Splosion Man. The character Meatenstein is in Splosion Man/Ms Splosion Man/Comic Jumper.

In Ms Splosion Man there is a character called Mr. Destructoid who yes is the mascot to the website Destructoid. The Splosions and Mr. Destructoid are going to be in Retro City Rampage (not yet released)

Mr Destructoid is also however in Burgertime World Tour, The Blocks Cometh, Raskulls, Bomberman Ultra/Bomberman Live, and Eternity's Child

The Blocks Cometh also has professional video game terrible person Jim Sterling so now he is in the system

To Raskulls I also need to add Barry Steakfries who is in all the Halfbrick iPhone games: Jetpack Joyride, Monster Dash, and Age of Zombies


SO...in addition to all that

Meat Boy, Minecraft Steve, and Duke Nukem are all in Choplifter HD

Duke Nukem is in Death Rally with a character called John Gore who is in games called Guerrilla Bob and Minigore. Death Rally also has the character Barry Wheeler from the Alan Wake games.


Let's see if I can sort this shit out

[Take It Sleazy]

Rocketing up the charts to number 2 is Naruto Uzumaki magnificently fucking up the whole list

[Gorblax]

Hahahaha holy shit

Okay I think I have it mostly sorted out. Angry Birds and Oprah are in

Added Digimon now that the game with Lili has been released

[Bowling Pin]

Ryu was in this Family Guy vs American Dad Flash fighting game that used to be hosted on FOX's site a few years ago. They licensed him from Capcom and everything for it, but I don't know if it counts.

[Take It Sleazy]

[Gorblax]

The Family Guy vs American Dad flash game should count; any flash games which use characters without the IP holders' permission should not.

Touhou Project finally enters the Williams Number Project via Lord of Vermillion. (Also, Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile)

[Take It Sleazy]

NBA 2K13 has Justin Bieber, JB Smoove, Wale, Bow Wow, Chamillionaire, Sean Kingston, Meek Mill, Vinny and Pauly D from Jersey Shore, Mac Miller, and Brian Baumgartner from The Office

DOA5 has Akira, Pai, and Sarah from Virtua Fighter

Retro City Rampage seems to be part of the whole Indieverse but I don't know if we should include some of the crossovers which are arcade game/minigames in the universe

[Gorblax]

Definitely not. It would be like including that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer appears on Murphy Brown as a Murphy Brown/Seinfeld crossover.

This will change/add to some of the Scribblenauts rankings although probably not the Konami characters since they are still only in Scribblenauts 1

[Take It Sleazy]

I think I am going to wait until Playsation All-Stars comes out to properly include Project X Zone and just do it all in one nightmare session

[Take It Sleazy]

this is not a real update

gorblax a venture bros character is going to be in poker night at the inventory 2

also ash from evil dead and some borderlands person and some being from portal



the marvel mmo, dc moba, and dc fighting games are coming out

the dc fighting game is netherealm so it should probably have some dumbass secret characters

all the characters in the hit new game Way of the Dogg will be 2s



this is also a reminder to myself that there are dlc characters in playstation all stars a game which hasn't been added yet i don't think

this thread is so old that it should be updated with sonic racing transformed/layton vs ace attorney




also somebody design/hack a low user wiki cms that auto calculates the degrees and puts a number on the character pages so i can just write funny descriptions of dudes and add things instead of organizing them

what other weird crossovers theoretical additions have happened/been announced since october guys?

[Jigsaw]

shin megami tensei x fire emblem i guess

[Gorblax]

Oh my goodness! That would give Brock a Williams number of... six, by way of GLaDOS? There's got to be a way to truncate that.

[Jigsaw]

Added a few games to that spreadsheet. Hope I didn't do it wrong or break anything.

[Gorblax]

Sorry, Jigsaw. I think for the time being I'm going to restrict development to Sleazy and me, to keep our current direction clear.


That said: I am really looking forward to Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. As-is, the only games in either franchise I've been able to penetrate are Nocturne via Devil May Cry's Dante, and the Fire Emblems associated with Marth, Roy and Ike via Super Smash Bros. (Using the summons to connect the Fire Emblems feels like cheating.)
