The poll doesn't seem to be working. I'm getting a message saying the survey is over, even though the article just went up.

Yup, having same poll problem.

Also, why the hell hasn't a Shakugan no Shana beat-em-up happened yet? The characters in the franchise are so varied that the amount of fighting styles would make the game so awesome.

Or you can take the easy/AWESOME route and make a Smash Bros type mishmash where you can pit Kenshin vs Stocking or Balsa vs Kan'u.

You know what? A List for "7 Dream Matches" would be pretty cool.

Way back when Angelic Layer first came out I can recall wanting a video game. Especially if on top of the actual dolls from the comic, they set it up so you can customize/make your own fighting doll like in the manga/anime.

But I'm a CLAMP fan who'd just love to see a CLAMP fighter all together. X alone sounds fun, but throw in Cardcaptor Sakura, RG Veda, XXXholic, Dukakylon, The Man of Many Faces, Duklyon, Magic Knight Rayearth and just about any of their other manga that features a fighter of some sort and you have a huge variety of characters, fighting styles, locations, and a huge selection of costumes to choose from.

Maybe it'll happen... one day.

Why just basic fighting games? How about Strike Witches dogfighting each other {even made it in series}? Or Heaven's Lost Property wrestling {also done}? A School Rumble fps? Is This a Zombie? survival horror ... comedy?

As for the basics, there's a Koihime Musou weapon fighter {Amusingly, this was done in a different anime so at least a few people want one. So much like Ikki Touson only it wasn't bad.}.

Pratically anything can be made into a fighter so what matters is having a large and colorful cast. Pani Poni Dash Crush! Himeko vs Behoimi or Inugami versus the cat god...

For cross anime purposes, I recommend: Maid Fighter! Ninja maids, samurai maids, robot maids, gunslinging maids, vampire maids, vampire ninja maids and finally clumsy maids!

Rie Kugimiya chibi fighter...

Some random seris I think would aslo ablige:

A certian magical index universe: almost EVERY character in the series could be a fighter and they have the PSP game to prove it

Durarara and Baccano: while some characters would work better than others, for the same reason as the above.

Nichijou and Sgt. Frog: A bunch of gag fighters that'll add more fun to the game, particularly the platoon, Mio, Nano and gundere.

This. So much this.

Actually, upon reflection, there aren't that many video games based on CLAMP franchises. Off the top of my head, I can only think of a few Magic Knight Rayearth RPGs, and and a few Card Captor Sakura Game Boy games (one was more like a visual novel and another was a collection of mini-games). What else has there been?

APH fighting game? I've seen a few fanarts of this idea.
Plus, there's a fan made "horror" game call HetaOni and an "incomplete" dating sim so the idea of an arcade game isn't too far-fetched.

There was a GBA game for Angelic Layer released only in Japan. Judging by this YouTube video, it's not that impressive.

A CLAMP universe fighting game would be so much fun but I think an RPG for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle would be just as interesting.

Oh man I would totally play an Angelic Layer fighter. Not a huge fan of that kind of game so I wouldn't buy a copy but spend a few bucks at an arcade? Totally!
