I think you forgot to generate the gameplay. The opponent just walks up and never hit me.

The "geek" in the title is definitely a lie. I can think of an entire series of fitting expletives to replace it, though.

I made you a theme song: https://underscore.audio/s/cmp_f6c34ae4-bb4/geek_fighter_the...

It’s adaptive, so can evolve with gameplay. Happy to work with you to make it awesome

I had the same idea but never took it beyond one AI generated image:

Gorgeous graphics. Can you talk about that a bit?

Very nice. The font or font on buttons like "CHOOSE DIFFICULTY" and "CHANGE FIGHTER" is badly exceeding the bounds of the button. May need Jonah Hill as the final boss.

Are those geeks tho? Also why musk's special isn't nazi salute and why doesn't he jump like human X?

Thought it said Greek Fighter which would actually be sick like Socrates vs Plato and they have special powers like Plato has Atlantis which summons a tidal wave etc

Only issue is I do not recognize many of the fighters as technically apt, much less "geek"

Looks like the Up button overlapping the X button.

No Konami code :(

This is well executed and stupidly amusing - can I get an APK port for my android handheld? Would make for a fun game night with some buddies

The only thing good about this is the sprites, and I'm not sure how authentic those are. If you look at PG's kick, the animation suddenly switches to the other leg, which I feel like a human would not have done.

Alright this is pretty high effort
