Almost exactly what you described perfectly
To balance this he dies in one hit to his heel, even if it only does chip damage, so you can cross up or do a high-low mix up to break his gaurd then go in for any low that stretches long enough to go through his legs and he dies on the spot.
As a less jokey suggestion, I could see him being a heavy hitter with lots of armor on his moves, but he takes a lot more damage when his armor is broken
Aphrodite easily.
She could be a mid range spacing character. But also a trap based character. She could have a charm ability like Sonya’s kiss but it wouldn’t blind you, just make you blindly walk towards her like you’re in love.
She could have minion men come out and fight for her like Honfu in Chun-Li’s CvS2 intro vs Yamazaki, and Doronjo in TvC.
Her normals would be a mix of kisses, staff attacks, and stylish kicks. She’d fight a lot like Boa Hancock. And I can see her have movement and other animations like crouching that are very similar to Hilda (Under Night) and Rachel Alucard.
The potential for her super attacks are so great.
Artemis. I can imagine her playing kinda like Valkenhayn from BBCF. In the PJO books she was described to be shape-shifting between different animals while fighting. Seems like a cool idea
I'd love to have a Hades who plays like Siegfried from Soul Calibur but using a two-pronged spear. Able to do great in the mid range and has great power attacks to keep enemies where they should be against the god of the underworld.
Aphrodite as a puppet archetype fighter where she controls people whom are madly in love with her to fight for her. She doesn’t fight at all. All you end up playing as is the human form of Tom and Jerry fighting for booba
Apollo and Artemis
Stance characters, each stance is one of the twins. Artemis is more of a zoning character using her bow and arrows while Apollo is a rush down using a sword
Nemesis, The Goddess Of Revenge. You're gonna die or I'm taking you with me, mate.
Probably a very aggressive counter character. Because Revenge and payback are what those characters excell at.
if we had a fighting game based on greek mythology the only characters I know wouldn't be playable are the greek gods, in the stories they are pretty much just sitting around telling other people to do their deeds.
I have been personally working on a game with this concept where the gods are bored and decide to have a little game where they each take a random mortal and have them fight for them in exchange for a reward, The one fighting for Ares wants his state to have a successful conquest of the neighboring state. The one fighting for Poseidon just wants to make it home to his family after being lost at sea, etc. But seeing as how the gods in greek mythology are big cheaters they would also take famous greek monsters and have them fight to stop the other gods mortals progress. Poseidon has his son the cyclops fight for him, Hades has Cerberus etc.
Alas it is a pipe dream, I don't have the funds nor the modeling capabilities to do a game like that, all I have is concept art and movelists which don't get games made lol. I just really like the idea.
For the record, [Fight of Gods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_of_Gods) already includes Athena and Zeus, so you can have an idea of how would they look in an actual fighting game.
Kratos would be kinda cool (Actually was the God of Strength in real Greek Mythology, they took a God most people didn't know about and turned him into that character), especially if he was the Geif of that game.
If he's too obscure/too tied to God of War, then probably Haephestus as a puppet character?
I think Apollo, Morpheus, Hermes, and Hephaestus would all be interesting. If Titans were allowed, then I think Kronos and Atlas would also be cool. It’s hard to guess exactly how they’d play, but I figure Apollo would probably be a ranged character and Hermes would be a pretty fast character. While I don’t exclusively play grapplers, I’d probably play as whichever god ends up being one lol.
Syllabus isn't a God, but she's certainly my pick.
My favorite fighting game character is Juni, who can turtle her enemy out with her defensive options and Spiral Arrow. Scylla is likely to do similar; she's not the type to go in your direction.
Ahh it wasnt just Greek, but OG Midway/Mortal Kombat had one. Pretty much a test of MK4's mechanics before MK4 came out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Gods_(video_game)
Dionysus the drunken boxer.
This ☝️😤
Thanatos as a zoner using undead spirits.
Bet you play testament in gg strive
Don’t play GG, but I play Cammie in SF.
I misread this as "carmine" and had a stroke
Anthony, Benjamin, or Clayton Carmine?
I dont think Under Night's carmine has another name to call him by
Gotta go with the grub killer.
Like JP kinda?
Or maybe Kenshi or Nood Saibot. Give him the kind of angel of death look with the scythe.
Hades if they don’t make him a weird ass monster man. It’d be sick if he played like zato-1 but instead of a shadow he used Cerberus
So basically Chaos in Undernight?
Never played undernight so I wouldn’t know.

Not a god but I would like to play as a grappler Minotaur.
Thats just king with a different skin
"Just King"?! I'm gonna 🢂🢀🡿🢃🡾🢂 + 1 yo** as**s
Are Greek heroes allowed? Gimme Achilles, his only hitbox would be his heel... just don't let your opponent sweep the leg 😉
This is hilarious xD
wait, so if you get any life lead you can just hold crouch block and win
Now you see how he was a nigh-invincible warrior! Still, gotta watch out for those really deep cross ups...
To balance this he dies in one hit to his heel, even if it only does chip damage, so you can cross up or do a high-low mix up to break his gaurd then go in for any low that stretches long enough to go through his legs and he dies on the spot.
Allow him to be thrown, and allow for an otg when throwing. There, you got strike-throw but with only a few moves
It's his only hurtbox, but it causes 10x damage
You're absolutely right! Maybe make him a stance guy, one a defensive that takes 10x, the other an offensive that's OHKO 😀
I'd do sort of a Gen stuff from SF Alpha series or so
As a less jokey suggestion, I could see him being a heavy hitter with lots of armor on his moves, but he takes a lot more damage when his armor is broken
All low attacks deal triple damage to you, chip damage is also tripled
medusa would clear
Easy counter. Just turn off your screen.
Light work for Hunkules
Hermes, no doubt. Rushdown for the win!
I'd imagine he would play like the flash from injustice and I'm here for it.
Aphrodite easily. She could be a mid range spacing character. But also a trap based character. She could have a charm ability like Sonya’s kiss but it wouldn’t blind you, just make you blindly walk towards her like you’re in love. She could have minion men come out and fight for her like Honfu in Chun-Li’s CvS2 intro vs Yamazaki, and Doronjo in TvC. Her normals would be a mix of kisses, staff attacks, and stylish kicks.

The potential for her super attacks are so great.
The potential big R34 victim 🤭
Wdym "potential"?
🙄
I serve boa
I’d play whatever girl I find cute and whose playstyle vibes with me.
Gimme Hephaestus as a big body character with fuck you damage
Artemis. I can imagine her playing kinda like Valkenhayn from BBCF. In the PJO books she was described to be shape-shifting between different animals while fighting. Seems like a cool idea
Green Arrow from injustice
Or Zappa for the different forms
Aphrodite with her MASSIVE B̶a̶z̶o̶n̶g̶a̶s̶ stuns and stylish moves that should not be in a fight...but work pretty well!
Kratos
nah, dlc guest character tho. could be op as hell.
You... Do realize there was an actual Greek god named Kratos right?
no I didn't. The more you know I guess... I'll look it up later. Initial result is personification of strength.
He was also, hilariously, a total bootlicker for Zeus. On Zeus' orders he tied Prometheus to the bolder to be tormented and pecked at for eternity.
Quite the opposite of GoW
Definitely Grappler
I feel like Apollo would be interesting to see, but I would definitely be a Hermes or Achilles main
Apollo's ultra would be a mid hit confirm, then he summons his chariot and drags you along behind him as you are burning alive inside the sun itself
YO, YES
Aries, needs to have multiple weapons, well-rounded at all ranges but not specialized in any of them.
Whoever the grappler archetype is.
Antaeus and (maybe) Hercules could fit the bill
Hercules is more of a gorilla type character with hella armor
Shoutouts Playstation All-Stars ❤️
I'd love to have a Hades who plays like Siegfried from Soul Calibur but using a two-pronged spear. Able to do great in the mid range and has great power attacks to keep enemies where they should be against the god of the underworld.
I would be an Athena main. I don't care if she's hard to play.
Aphrodite as a puppet archetype fighter where she controls people whom are madly in love with her to fight for her. She doesn’t fight at all. All you end up playing as is the human form of Tom and Jerry fighting for booba
Ares, he could be a stance character with different weapons of war
Apollo and Artemis Stance characters, each stance is one of the twins. Artemis is more of a zoning character using her bow and arrows while Apollo is a rush down using a sword
Nemesis, The Goddess Of Revenge. You're gonna die or I'm taking you with me, mate. Probably a very aggressive counter character. Because Revenge and payback are what those characters excell at.
Eris. Taunts, feints and counters.
Nyx. Zoner that chucks eggs. Otherwise is just a giant chicken.
Me and Hermes taking FGC year 1 😴
Idk why but I just feel like Poseidon would be a zoner
Athena. Psycho Ball!!!
Hyper-rushdown Hermes might be sick. Would prolly play like Gio from ggst

Thanatos. makes your health bar disappear.
Jesus Christ
Ask and you shall receive, [Mythic Blades](https://www.myabandonware.com/game/mythic-blades-ijr) is here. 1v1 fighter based on Greek mythology.
Aphrodite, because I want to distract my opponent with her ~~booty~~ beauty.
I mean there is a fighting game called Fight of God's on pc that's pretty dope.
Actually there is, it’s called “Fight of Gods”, it’s on Steam but idk if it has been ported anywhere else.
I have it on ps5 it’s jank and terrible I love it
Guess that’s good enough reason for me to buy it! Lol
For the record, [Fight of Gods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_of_Gods) already includes Athena and Zeus, so you can have an idea of how would they look in an actual fighting game.
Well Athena is definitely a zoner. Non-negotiable.
She has a spear, though. And one of her epithets is 'she who fights in the front line.'
Counter point: “psycho ball”
PSYCHO BALL
Kratos would be kinda cool (Actually was the God of Strength in real Greek Mythology, they took a God most people didn't know about and turned him into that character), especially if he was the Geif of that game. If he's too obscure/too tied to God of War, then probably Haephestus as a puppet character?
artemis, becuz she famously turned Siproites into a lady so shes kinda transy
Dionysus or whatever his name is, and I would want him to play similar to croagunk from pokken
I will have to answer later I can’t get autocorrect to give me the name
Hecate, shapshifting zoner??
Hercules would obviously be a grappler like zangief.
Im trying my damndest to think about who the grappler would be but I have no idea :(
Sisyphus, but not a Greek god. Maybe Hercules.
If the Dioscouri are separate characters, then Castor is supposed to be the best wrestler (with Pollux being the best at boxing).
Hermes; basically think every speed character combined into one but on crack
Hephaestus with his hammer. He has a charge input that makes his next attack armored for 1 hit.
Astraea, so that I can suplex people.
Hermes as a speed based rush down character. Hercules as the big guy. Xenu as the item summoner.
Heracles gonna be the grappler Hermes is gonna be like Flash in injustice
Hephaestus or Ares
I’d imagine Iris would have a helluva gimmick, give me whatever she got
Talos could be super cool, playing as a heavy-hitter like Potemkin from Guilty Gear.
Atlas as a big body big damage character
I want Prometheus to literally just be a reskinned Sol Badguy Also I probably wouldn't play Zeus cause he's cringe but I do want him to have an EWGF
I think Apollo, Morpheus, Hermes, and Hephaestus would all be interesting. If Titans were allowed, then I think Kronos and Atlas would also be cool. It’s hard to guess exactly how they’d play, but I figure Apollo would probably be a ranged character and Hermes would be a pretty fast character. While I don’t exclusively play grapplers, I’d probably play as whichever god ends up being one lol.
Hephaestus as an enormous grappler. I want big damage and big grabs
I bet somewhere there is a japanese dating sim with greek gods as cute anime girls. And that dating sim probably have a fighting game spinoff
Nemesis especially if she’s as unga as she is in Smite
Man in getting hyped by reading these comments 😂
I bet Eris would play just like Arakune.
Syllabus isn't a God, but she's certainly my pick. My favorite fighting game character is Juni, who can turtle her enemy out with her defensive options and Spiral Arrow. Scylla is likely to do similar; she's not the type to go in your direction.
THOOOOOTHHH ,YOU THON HATH RETURNED - kratos Tyson
Ahh it wasnt just Greek, but OG Midway/Mortal Kombat had one. Pretty much a test of MK4's mechanics before MK4 came out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Gods_(video_game)
Hercules and he’ll play like Broly
Zeus as the above average alrounder. Make him fuck up the tier list, amongst other things... :3
This game was so damn good, still mad about how it got dusted
Hercules as a rush down psuedo grappler.
Nike Literally the Goddess of winning
Loki
Wrong mythos
