Here's the keys - make a crossover fighter with [INSERT IP HERE].


I tried to organize it by studio, but after the TVA, I just gave up. Even with Daisy Duck added last minute to the roster and I didn't feel like I wanted to move everything around again.

I haven't been posting anything for while, so let's just make a new roster.

Showdown on the stage!

The platform fighter/fighting game would be focused on fictional musicians (Parappa), masked artists (like Daft Punk), characters that appeared on albums of singers, characters from music videos or bands and virtual music artists (like Gorillaz).

You can just call it "Def Jam meets fictional music artists".

Roster:
1. Hatsune Miku
2. Murdoc (Gorillaz)
3. Parappa the Rapper
4. The Beatles (Animated versions) (Stance fighters)
5. Alvin & Chipmunks (They would stand on each other like Rabbids in Nick Super Brawl 3)
6. Daft Punk
7. JEM (JEM and Holograms)
8. Ai Hoshino
9. Ms. Piggy
10. Archie (Archie)
11. Chubby Cherry (Studio Killers)
12. Sailor Venus
13. Scott Pilgrim
14. Saiko & Kaizo (SMG4)
15. Major Lazer
16. Ami & Yumi
17. Jabberjaw
18. Piers & Obstagoon (Pokemon)
19. Boyfriend & Girlfriend (Friday night funkin)
20. Azura (Fire Emblem)
21. Pepe (My Chemical romance)
22. Chorus Kids (have the same gimmick as Alvin)
23. Ahri (League of Legends)
24. Crazy Frog
25. Gummibär
26. Iron Man (Black Sabbath)

DLC:
EP pack 1:
1. Squid Sisters
2. Frank the Robot (Queen)
3. Dewey Finn (School of Rock)
4. MC Skat Kat
5. Sonic the Hedgehog (Guest - he had a rock band when the first game was developed and he was a DJ on one of artworks)

EP pack 2:
1. Bocchi the Rock
2. Shufflebot (LMFAO)
3. Ziggy Stardust
4. Mayor Pauline (Mario)
5. Deathklok (Metalpocalypse)
6. Weird Al Yankovic

(Did I just missed someone? Feel free to tell me which character I forgot to add to the roster)

For Me, I felt like Captain Jake needs to be here as he is a Musician because of well, he plays a Guitar for Pete's sake and maybe, for the Final Pack, I felt like Rise Kujikawa and Haruka Amami would be the perfect ones to end this one with a big beefy Bang.

Oh, he would be cool, but I went with Iron Man because it was my bias choice.

He could be implemented in sequel though.

Raya by mario pagan reviews

The hotel mogul talks rebuilding and looking forward.

December 19, 2019

In the past two years, Puerto Rico has related to the mythical Phoenix more than ever. 2017’s Hurricane Maria was very much the flame that set the bird afire. But in the wake of unthinkable damage, the island has risen from the ashes, seizing what they can of a very faint silver lining: with destruction comes the opportunity to start anew.

Loisse Herger and Fernando Davila, the founders of O:LV Fifty Five and O:live Hotel , know this process well. O:LV, which is a newer hotel than the latter, has become one of San Juan’s newest and most buzz-worthy establishments. Raya, the restaurant on the ground floor, has more or less become an absolute must-visit for culinary enthusiasts, and is more often than not packed with tourists and local food aficionados alike.

“The destruction created an opportunity for construction, for innovation, and for businesses to start afresh,” Herger says of the storm. But during Maria’s devastating visit to the island, it was hard to have as positive of an outlook on the island’s future. Herger and her team spent the storm caring for their 30 hotel guests at a time when acquiring food and water was a daily struggle.

“We had to be very creative. We played card games, watched old DVD’s…even my dogs became therapeutic for our guests. And alcohol, of course,” she explains.

One powerful change has come in the way that local business owners like Herger view the island’s agricultural resources. Increasingly, smaller farmers are coming to restaurants to offer their produce. And increasingly, these restaurants are excited to work with them.

“Nowadays, we see chefs not only supporting local agriculture, but also getting inspired by it,” she says.

This includes Mario Pagan, San Juan’s local celebrity chef who runs both Raya and Sage Italian Steak Loft at O:live.

“The storm, with its sustained winds of 160mph and gusts of up to 180mph, flattened the landscape, destroying almost all of the crops on the island,” he recalls. “I went back to my Puerto Rican roots, serving up day-to-day comfort food, from stewed goat to crackling porn rind white rice, or pumpkin beans, [maybe a] simple Guava Flan.”

Like Herger, Pagan is looking forward. “With the benefit of hindsight, now more than ever, I believe that we have to embrace our sustainable local growers and those on our neighboring islands in light of our geographic locations and the likelihood of stronger natural events in the future,” he says. “Today, almost 40% of our ingredients are locally sourced for all our restaurants. Our tourism is thriving more due to all the new culinary offerings opening at an incredible rate. There’s probably around eight to ten restaurants opening in San Juan every month.”

From the kitsch, jazzy rooftop at O:live or the sleek, more minimal city views at O:LV, it’s hard to tell that such a torrential storm ever hit Puerto Rico. But the two hotels embody the island’s new spirit, which means taken advantage of an opportunity to get back in touch with local roots.

Reviews for "Raya by Mario Pagan: A Fusion of Flavors and Cultures"

1. John - 1 star
I was really disappointed with "Raya by Mario Pagan". The food was extremely overpriced for the quality we received. The flavors were bland and nothing stood out as exceptional. The service was also lacking, as we had to constantly ask for refills and wait an excessive amount of time for our meals to arrive. Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high expectations for "Raya by Mario Pagan", but it fell short in many aspects. The ambiance was nice, but the food did not live up to the hype. The dishes lacked creativity and the flavors were very average. The wait staff seemed disinterested and unattentive, which made the whole experience feel impersonal. I was expecting something special from a renowned chef like Mario Pagan, but unfortunately, it was a forgettable dining experience for me.
3. David - 2 stars
While "Raya by Mario Pagan" had a stunning location and a beautiful interior, the food failed to impress. The flavors were underwhelming and the presentation was lackluster. Additionally, the service was slow and inattentive. It took forever for our orders to arrive and we had to constantly remind the staff about our requests. Overall, I was left feeling disappointed and unimpressed with the whole experience.
4. Lisa - 1 star
"Raya by Mario Pagan" was a major letdown for me. The prices were exorbitant and did not match the quality of the food. The dishes lacked depth and the flavors were forgettable. The service was also subpar, with staff members appearing disorganized and overwhelmed. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. There are much better options available in the area.
