Three-Man Team Per Player Index for Four Players

[maxman]

Hey guys. What do you think about having a three-man team when it comes to multiplayer? I mean, when it comes to choosing 3 characters in a team per player index, I don't want all three chosen characters to be active by fighting alongside each other like you see in Super Tokusatsu Onore. It only looks good when it's in one-player mode like STO. Having all team members active in multiplayer like that will not look good for the game environment because it can overcrowd the game with so much loading time and all active characters (players, enemies, items, etc.) in-game. It can cause a crash if you're not being careful. However, going with tag system or taking turns (order select ala KOF) will suffice for the gameplay to look good in the game environment. My worry is the overcrowd of active entities in stages.

I'd like it to be like Shock Troopers which you have an option to choose whether you prefer going solo or forming a (tag) team. If you choose solo, you will only have 3 regular lives as a default. But if you choose a team, you will only be given one life since you have chosen team members in the game. Losing one member of a team is like losing a player's life. It's all about having a fair balance of selection. For "turn based" system, after choosing team members, you select an order of which chosen team member will fight first in the game like KOF. Tagging is when you switch selected team members anytime, so there is no need to have an order select after that. I think it would look good for my ROD project.

I prefer to be able to choose members of the team yourself but you can change to other member almost anytime.
