(sorry I took a while to reply)

So you do know about the series, which means you would know where I'm going with this.

Yeah, the kind of crossover I'm thinking for MG is that of Smash Bros: a mascot fighter game. I prefer to call it platform fighter. You'll probably feel uncomfortable with the idea since the thought of innocent females fighting to the death (not really) seems very out-of-character of them, but nontheless it's an idea I came up with and I'm sticking to it (after all there were already two magical girl crossover fighting games made: Magical Chaser, which revolves around Cute Witches fighting each other (Doremi appears in that one), and Magical Battle Arena which mostly contains MGs that fall under the warrior type (which has more Nanoha characters than others) ).

As for its name, I call it Magical X Batalla--Magical Cross Battle.

At first, it was gonna be Magical All-Stars Batte Hearts, but then decided to change it because in my opinion, "All-Star" is such an overused title inclusion for most crossovers, and so I gave it the new name you see above.

There are a total of 50 different MGs that I included in this game. I divided them by what eras they hail from because I think they're easier to identify that way. So...here's the list/roster of the MGs:

As you can see, there are 25 characters from the old days of MG and 25 from recent years, which makes an equal 50. The first thing you'll notice is that all of the MGs I chose are all main characters of their shows. The reason? It's because I felt that if I include MGs from the same series, it's gonna make the other existing MGs feel left out, not to mention it'd be considered rubbing a series' popularity into the fans' faces. It's like the Nostalgia Critic, an internet celeberty for reviewing movies, said in one of his movie reviews: give the audience what they need not what they want.

Okay, so here's where the problem comes in. There is this one MG I wanted to add because I thought she would be considered a rarity in this game:

Stardust Witch Meruru

I was gonna include her to be a rare example of a show within a show MG appearing as a full-blown playable character, but if that's gonna happen, I'll have to replace her with one of the MGs on the roster. But here are the problems: one, I am not gonna remove any of the classic ones because if I do, the roster would have more modern than classic ones, and two, there are several magical girls that are considered foils to others. Example, Juna, from Arjuna, is a foil to mostly the technology-themed MGs if you consider just what kind of MG Juna is.

So that's my problem. So julio, what do you think? Should I remove a character so I can put Meru in there or just make her into an assist character? Because I also plan on putting assist MG in there.

And...sorry if this is all long and complex. It's just that if don't tell you what exactly is the problem with my crossover idea, you might not fully get it.
