An absurd idea came to me last night.
A VS Race! You get to pick which ones are used, which track (I think there should be an obstacle type, and a traditional sort of track at the least), and maybe if weapons are allowed or not.
I don't know if it'd work well considering if you got 2 of those rocket sled sorts used in 5-1 they'd perform exactly the same, but that might just open doors to new levels of skill in piloting with, and without weapons.
Of course this would have a multiplayer option with various rules like the first person across the line, the first team to have all members across the line, last man/team standing as you circle until the other team are defeated/their battle guage is depleted, or time elapses with the team with the best score wins, general elimination, etc.
Of course new parts can be introduced in racing suits, pit crew (who could actually repair VS in pit lane) suits to name a few, and of course these would be for males and female.
Maybe Capcom could utilize previous racing games to add flare to the outfits.
Maybe as something silly, one could use Akrid in the race like the Rollers, and the Trillids, and stuff.
Maybe there could be VS Variants made for this mode, I dunno. Custimization would be nce, but a lot of work, too. I can't expect a full blown racing game out of this.
I think I'll cease rambling as I'm sure you all have the idea in general about now.
P.S. No rubber band AI please!
