Final Fighters is the first to the blockchain, skill-based “beat them up” genre 3D game on Ethereum. The introduction of the Web3, NFTs, and GameFi created an opportunity to introduce innovative ways to interact with the a real-time Play-to-earn 3D-based fighting game, inspired by 2D Little Fighters 2, a popular game in the year 2000..

Final Fighters is more than just an NFT avatar/character project! It’s a  game designed to bring all competitive gamers together while delivering an in-game economy that rewards players for their combat prowess. The game will be based on the Unity game engine(Unity-script), thus will work on a wide range of devices and platforms. It doesn’t matter if you’re on a mobile device, a PC, or a Mac – you are welcome to be part of the ecosystem.

Your Final Fighter NFT will be utilized as an in-game character to compete against other holders in arena bouts with up to ten players.

Final Fighters will be a Play to Earn game, which means that once you’ve purchased a fighter, you’ll be able to compete in tournaments and arena bouts to earn Final Fighters coin, which you can use to buy more fighters, items/cosmetics, earn passive income or sell for fiat money! 

Our goal is to produce an entertaining game where users may fight with their personal NFTs and earn money using P2E features.

With 2.7 billion players worldwide, the global gaming industry was valued at USD 176 billion in 2020, and it is predicted to reach USD 217.9 billion by 2023, showing a CAGR of 9.4% from 2018 to 2023. The blockchain gaming industry is predicted to expand to $50 billion by 2025, from its current value of $1.6 billion.

According to the data tracker DappRadar, there are currently 398 active blockchain games, defined as having at least one active wallet inside the game in the last 24 hours. That’s a 92 percent rise over the previous year. Over the last year, the total number of blockchain games, including those that are no longer operational, has increased by 71% to 1,179. ‘Play-to-Earn’ has shown a fresh perspective on what players should expect from their gaming experiences, and the rapid rise of early Play-to-Earn gaming experiences reveals that gamers are very interested in how the communities they create should reward them. This tendency is only going to become greater.

These platforms/games are garnering hundreds of thousands of additional visitors in web traffic as individuals hunt for ways to pass the time as a result of worldwide lockdown measures. Consumer interest in video games has increased dramatically, especially among non-traditional populations. Microsoft, Nintendo, Twitch, and Activision have all reported record sales. Microsoft announced in April 2020 that Xbox Game Pass, a Netflix-style subscription program, has surpassed 10 million customers. Microsoft also announced a 130 percent increase in multiplayer activity among those customers in March and April.

Top Fighting game out of 591 titles – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, received 1,015,063 viewer hours over 135,099 broadcasts by 69,786 broadcasters during the 7 days from 2022-03-26 to 2022-04-02. Final Fighters game will have similar game logic, making it extremely similar game to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Maximilian DOOD was the #1 Fighting streamer, amassing 195,248 viewer hours while playing SoulCalibur II + Street Fighter. 

These charts are based on data from Gamesight, Eventhubs, Fgcharts – which covers all acitivity across top games and Twitch and YouTube Live broadcast.

Everyone will get the opportunity to compete in the Final Fighters arenas.

• If a player does not have a Final Fighter, a default Fighter with lower stats will be assigned to them (with limited number of abilities). The only change is that the rewards you can receive for default Fighters will be lesser.

• To participate in any game mode, participants must have a minimum of 5 $FFC tokens, which will be used as an entrance charge. Game will hold different level $FFC entries

F2P players can also earn money in our game. F2P players will be given a default Fighter to fight with, and winning arenas will grant them $FFC.

$FFC can be redeemed for a Final Fighter later on. F2P players will not be able to compete in tournaments with higher prize pools than regular arena matches.

There are several ways to earn money from the game:

• By purchasing Final Fighter NFT, you will be able to compete in all arena matches and tournaments.

• Win enough regular arena matches to earn enough $FFC to buy Final Fighter.

This is the main game mode where 10 players will be spawned and last one standing wins (Battle royal). Each Fighter will fight for their individual prosperity. Players will be able to join in parties or solo (do not forget everyone will fight for their own sake). You can play in this mode whether you are playing as a Final Fighter or Default Fighter; the only impact is the size of rewards earned. 

Tournaments will be available in 1vs1; 2vs2; 3vs3; 4vs4; 5vs5 formats. In group/team mode you will eligible to join only with pre-made party, no random person can be assigned. You can find party members in our Discord or community forums/chats. Also, you can form a professional team, paying one time fee. Professional esports team, will have its own name and description.

The winners of the match will be decided when one of teams loses all Health Points (HP).

Tournaments will be in default ladder format. After each win Fighters will advance in the ladder till only one left.

5v5 mode will be similar to Arena matches but players will fight in teams of 5 Fighters. Players will be eligible to join random parties and participate in the fights.

The winners of the match will be decided when one of teams loses all Health Points (HP).

Everyone will get a chance to participate, but default Fighters and Final Fighters will have separate lobbies to make it fair and give everyone a chance to win prizes.

In 2v2 mode Fighters will fight in teams of two. In 2v2 players can be matched randomly or enter as a party.

The winners of the match will be decided when one of teams loses all Health Points (HP).

Everyone will get a chance to participate, but default Fighters and Final Fighters will have separate lobbies to make it fair and give everyone a chance to win prizes.

In 1v1 mode Fighters will fight one versus one. Players will be matched randomly.

The winner of the match will be decided when one of players will lose all Health Points (HP).

Everyone will get a chance to participate, but default Fighters and Final Fighters will have separate lobbies to make it fair and give everyone a chance to win prizes.

In the games industry, the Play-to-Earn business model is the most recent innovation. It’s a business model that embraces the idea of an open economy and rewards all players who add value to the game world with financial rewards. It’s likely to introduce new game concepts and retention models to modern gaming that haven’t been seen before.

The advantage of the play-to-earn business model is that a gamer always creates something worth selling. Even if a gamer has to pay to begin playing, the items they have acquired can always be sold again.

Monetization for players’ example: Two fighters participate in 1vs1 battle, both paying $1= 50 $FFC for an entrance fee. In this example 1 $FFC = $0.02.

Winning Fighter takes 100 $FFC = $2

Final Fighters will be taking 0.5% transaction fee from each fight in arenas, matches and tournaments.

Monetization for platform example:  Two fighters participate in 1vs1 battle, both paying $1= 50 $FFC for an entrance fee. In this example 1 $FFC = $0.02.

Let us calculate how much would it be for FF: 100 $FFC x 0.5% = 0.5 $FFC = $0.01 per fight.

For players: In a nutshell, sales will create income since newcomers will purchase Final Fighters NFT in order to begin playing the game. Demand will grow with each purchase. Selling Fighter NFT also will reset it’s ranking and statistics. Players will be paid $FFC in exchange for the increased demand of the particular Fighter, or can be sold on external secondary market.

For platform: Later on, all of the purchased NFTs can be sold, including transaction fees and Royalty Fees, providing Final Fighters with an additional revenue source.

NFT royalties give you a percentage of the sale price each time your NFT creation is sold on a marketplace. NFT royalty payments are perpetual and are executed by smart contracts automatically. With most marketplaces, we can choose our royalty percentage. In short, we will be getting 3% royalty fee from every secondary Final Fighters NFT sale.

In-game advertising is a monetization tactic used by game producers to increase the profitability of their games. The game’s designers make money by displaying various advertisements and banners in the game. Currently, 73% of all players feel that existing in-game advertising tactics and models are effective. 

For players: Ad groups integrated into the game loop provide the greatest possible experience for players. We might, for example, provide consumers free in-game material in return for watching or engaging with adverts at specified periods in the game. Having good sponsors in subsequent phases would allow for a $FFC incentive for the engagement. In fact, 71% of gamers say that watching video advertisements is their favourite method of ‘paying’ for in-game content. The remaining 29%, in our opinion, would gladly earn money in exchange for watching a brief, thoughtfully chosen advertising.

For platform: For Final Fighters, there are a variety of advertising models to choose from, all of which may be implemented at any time. A few examples are as follows: Banners that will be visible in arenas at all times, brief video ads before or after the Arena match, and banners that will be implemented and visible during character selection and/or interacting with the UI. Advertisements that are integrated directly into the game loop and complement the in-game economy — in other words, ads that act as a component of the game – perform best and deliver the greatest eCPMs. Ads become a part of the user experience in this way, which can assist increase game or app engagement and retention. Mobile game advertising can yield $50-$100 eCPMs for games with good ad placements.

In-game adverts, when combined with the right game strategy, can increase in-app purchases by 6x. Users get a taste of the in-app purchases you offer and see the worth of in-game items through ad units that act as part of the in-game economy, such as rewarded video commercials for the player. It is a win-win for both sides.

For players: Until now, there have been two ways to make money with NFTs: minting and selling your own and buying and selling NFTs on a digital marketplace. NFT lending, on the other hand, is a novel concept that could allow NFT owners to make money without risking their assets.  This strategy can be implemented in two ways:

• Owners of Final Fighters NFT can lend their NFT to people who can’t or don’t want to buy it right away.

• Current holders would be able to lend their NFT for x amount that the borrower would be responsible for. Smart Contract rules would be used to carry out all transactions. During the borrowing process, the borrower will be required to leave some sort of collateral. The collateral will be kept in the Smart Contract until the transaction is completed.

For platform: Platform creators benefit from a standard transaction fee and increased player base. The lending option will have interest payable, with a portion of the interest going to the Final Fighters game/platform.

Staking NFTs in Final Fighters allows players to receive rewards in a passive manner without having to sell or transfer ownership of the NFTs. For holding or locking NFTs on the platform, stakers are compensated with $FFC. As a result, the network is protected, and NFT token holders are rewarded for providing security. The payout is determined by the locked total value (TVL), the duration, and the annual percentage yield (APY). Stakeholders may get the advantages without relinquishing control.

Because of the irreplaceability of NFTs, liquidity is one of the most common issues on the blockchain. Selling is not always simple. Cryptocurrencies, unlike cash and other cryptocurrencies, are easier to trade since their prices are determined by the market. NFT staking is a system that allows owners to profit from NFTs without having to find a buyer on their own. This solves the NFT’s liquidity problem.

Accumulated $FFC tokens could be spent on:

• In-game purchases

• Fighter guilds creation or personal arena slot creation

• NFT mints and secondary market purchases

• Special rewards for accumulating milestone amount of tokens. Examples: 3D fighter OBJ file, limited merchandise, 3D figures

Gaming is the fastest-growing type of entertainment in the world, with annual revenue increases of more than 9%. By 2022, the worldwide video game market is anticipated to be worth more than $190 billion. Esports sales were $856 million in 2018, according to Newzoo, and are predicted to reach $1.79 billion by 2022.

Media rights, merchandise and ticket sales, advertising, sponsorship, and game publisher fees are all included in these figures. We feel that the potential set linked with esports is far greater and more difficult to assess at Final Fighters.

For players: Personal or team sponsorship; Fighters and personal arena copyrights monetization; Advertisement via events and players individual live-streaming; Selling merchandise with personal Fighter copyrights; Winning bets; Winning tournament prices.

For platform: Virtual event tickets sales, advertising, game maker- IP fees, merchandise, bookmaker vig collection, transaction fee collection, increased player base and sales.

Betting system: A commission on losing bets, known as vig or vigorish, is the cut or amount charged by a bookmaker for accepting a bet.

Bookmakers (platform) have no control over the outcome of events, but they do have control over how much money they stand to make or lose on any given outcome. They set the odds for all of the wagers they place, allowing them to make a profit.  The odds provided by bookmakers are not exact.

Let’s use the example of a coin toss. Getting heads or tails is a 50/50 chance. So, if a person bets $10 on heads, the best-case scenario is that they will win $19 instead of $20. Final Fighters would count that $1 vig as revenue or profit as bookmakers.

When you hear the phrase “breeding,” chances are you first think of NSFW notions. However, the carefully designed Smart contracts allow NFTs to “breed” and this way create new NFTs. 

With the introduction of the Female collection – Final Mistresses, our Fighters NFT verse have a chance to rebuild humanity and become stronger in numbers. 

NFT holders from both collections (Fighters and Mistresses) will be able to “breed” their fighters, resulting in a whole new NFT collection called Junior Fighters (TBD). To “breed” a Junior Fighter, a collector will require 1 Final Fighter and 1 Final Mistress NFT, as well as X amount(TBD) of $FFC tokens.

Junior Fighters will have the same values and features as their parents, allowing them to participate in the game. Junior Fighters will be the final Final Fighters verse collection addition, with a limited supply of 5,000 copies available (*with possibility to increase supply for additional 5,000)

. All Juniors will be randomly born in the dapp, without human involvement, making them especially unique. Juniors will be available only through “breed” and later of course in the secondary market.

Both, Final Fighters Genesis and Exodus will operate on the ERC-721a Ethereum smart contract.

We went with this standard because all of our NFTs are 1/1 unique tokens with unique combinations of traits. The Ethereum network, which is supported by the majority of mainstream Crypto wallets, is the most well-known blockchain for NFTs and collection display. ERC-721a is innovative smart contract allowing us to drastically reduce transaction fees and improve speeds.  

While developing on Ethereum blockchain, most calculations and game elements, will be developed off-chain, using decentralized programs (dApps) with enhanced security, scalability, and performance. Reducing Ethereum’s network load is one of the key elements, to provide seemless real-time game speed and cheaper entry point to play the game.

This allows us to provide a better user experience while also being more welcoming to players that are both veterans and new to the NFT ecosystem. Moreover, this approach should yield interesting results, allowing us to offer better GAS (Transaction) fees, while still being on Ethereum’s network.

NFT items/cosmetics:

• Battle intro animations, available in lobby and before battle start.

• Character stats/ranking frames around NFT image.

• Finishing move animations.

• Taunt movements / animations / emoji.

• NFT marketplace.

Fighter guilds creation:

• Fee to create a professional team with personal chat and training grounds.

Personal arena slot (slowly moving towards metaverse creation):

• In later stages external developers/companies will have a possibility to create their own 3D arenas, allowing them to monetize through advertisement and holding battles in it.

Players will be able to use both melee and ranged attacks in this game. Each Final Fighter will be allocated three skills, which will only be disclosed after obtaining a Final Fighter NFT.

Final Fighters features 72 separate skills that are allocated to each fighter at random. Every Final Fighter will have a skill in each of the three categories: basic, ultimate, and defence / escape. Mana Points (MP) will be required for each skill. MP will replenish on its own when a certain amount of time has passed. The movement system in the Final Fighters game will allow players to move up, down, left, and right. The game will have three action buttons: Attack (A), Block (B), and Jump (J), as well as mobility in all four directions.

The following are the most important aspects that will determine the result of a battle in equal measure:

1. Your performance in the game.

2. Correlation of elements. In other words, the game will discern between various elements that will have an impact on attack interaction. Water attacks, for example, will be more effective against fire attacks, and so on. The element correlation is shown below.

Please keep in mind that the light and dark elements will be greater than the four primary elements (fire, earth, thunder, and water), but they will be neutral to one another (no additional damage).

The “Game Economy Boost system” will increase the number of users while keeping the Genesis Final Fighters collection valuable. The price of $FFC tokens and demand for Final Fighters will rise as the user-base grows. 

Since our game is a real-time fighting game with player input, it is far more complex and requires significantly more backend processing than, say, turn based games. This means that running the entire game on-chain without considerable slowness and impact on gameplay experience is impossible; we’re talking about the blockchain trilemma of decentralization, scalability, and security.

As game developers, we want to give a better gaming experience, thus we sacrifice decentralization in favor of speed. Off-chain gaming logic and computations are performed before being uploaded to record the outcome. Because data sync will be done with asynchronous operations, the game will be fluid and transaction wait times will be minimal.

Storing the battle calculation and logic off-chain also gives us a lot more flexibility for future updates so that we can continue to improve the game over the long term, for example we will be able to receive feedback and allow votes to change in-game logic and balance the game.

Running on ERC721a we have reduced gas fees almost ~ 80%, which will make game more approachable for everyone.

Long term vision:

Final Fighters team will never stop improving and developing the game.

Finishing roadmap v1 means that we will keep on building everything around the current foundation, as the long-term vision is to create a small metaverse.

Inside of Final Fighters metaverse you could see:

•Fighters networking spaces;

•Masterclasses and tutoring spaces;

•News and advices;

•Influencer spaces;

•Land creation and monetization with other companies/partners;

•More gameplay options: Racing, Football, Basketball, and any other game, which could utilize our game logic and fighter skills.

Disclaimer: Planned dates may change due to game development. Please support and understand that game creation is a huge feat to pull. Roadmap serves more as a vision for our upcoming plans.

Final Fighters coin (later $FFC) token is utility-based and used for multiple actions. $FFC token will be utilized for in-game purchases, rewards, staking, fees, and governance (DAOs).  

A total of 500,000,000 tokens will be minted on the Ethereum blockchain, using ERC-20 standard.

Final Fighters franchise also has two NFT token collections, both having a 10,000 supply. The third collection, of Junior Fighters, is also planned, creating a total of up-to 25,000-30,000 avatar/fighter NFTs. Both Genesis and Exodus collections are on Ethereum’s ERC-721a smart contracts, Junior Fighters will be created on Ethereum ERC-721a, all tokens will be used inside of the game.

We chose this approach to create an effective decentralized game ecosystem, allowing us to have fast transactions and low transaction fees.

1.  Please read the main token utility on P2E/PVP monetization explanation tab.

2. Governance/DAO. Token holders will get a chance to participate in voting for game development and improvement questions for $FFC rewards. A quadratic voting system will be implemented, it reduces the superiority of wealthy participants in the system and allows more even voting results.

3. Higher token holdings unlock a special perk: a discount on transaction fees in the marketplace and gameplay.

1. Capped sale, to Raise $1 020 000,00 — the major goal of the $FFC token sale is to raise funds to build a game and advertise it to a larger audience. 

2. Sell a percentage of the total token supply.

3. Distribute tokens broadly to attract as many buyers as possible while avoiding market manipulation. 

4. Ensure that the token price grows steadily in the short, medium, and long term after the launch.

The token supply in the deflationary model only decreases over time, thus increasing tokens’ value over time.

As only a total of 500,000,000 tokens will be minted, the token burning mechanism will assure a token value increase. Final Fighters will be buying back and burning tokens once in a while, this way creating deflationary token model.

Please note:

That the team is still working on full tokenomics; our economist is modeling it, and we are researching and consulting a number of experts and people with experience in the sector to get it right – and this process will take weeks. The total number of tokens available and the amount that will be in circulation have yet to be determined.

Final Fighters was originally planned to be a 2D game, but we recognized during production that a 3D game would be more efficient and stunning, thus these 2D game demo videos should only be seen as a preview of the future 3D game.

Creating 3D Fighter models and environments opens up new options for collaboration with other projects and metaverses, as well as laying the groundwork for our long-term vision of Final Fighters metaverse possibilities.

Basic ability, ultimate ability, and defense/escape ability will be provided to Final Fighters.

Visit http://my.finalfighters.com to see what skills have been assigned to the character. You’ll be prompted to verify with Metamask wallet; once you’ve done so, you’ll see a pop-up with three skills allocated to your Final Fighter. There is no way to change already assigned skills because they are not interchangeable.

All skills will be assigned using a randomized procedure, which means that each of the three abilities may be assigned to a different element. Ability categories cannot overlap, so every Fighter will have a basic, ultimate, and escape/defense ability.

Skills will be hidden from the general public and will remain hidden for a variety of reasons: first, we believe that part of the enjoyment is figuring out what abilities are assigned; second, we do not want our game to become pay-to-win, leaving some of the Final Fighters in the shadows and forgotten. In the Final Fighters verse, displaying all skills would create imbalance.

Some Final Fighters will become Master Final Fighters after mint-out. Let’s say one of the Final Fighters you minted has these skills: Lightning Arrow, Healing Herb, Water Wave. If this Final Fighter turns out to be Master, one of these skills will receive a powerful boost. More damaging Lightning Arrow? Water Wave that takes 15% less Mana? Or Healing Herb that heals more efficiently? That is also decided randomly upon revealing the Masters.

Only two skills will be allocated to default fighters: basic skill and defense skill. All of the default Fighters will have the same appearance and skills.

Every Final Fighter will be a NFT and trackable on the blockchain. We encourage to use default Final Fighters only to test our game performance. Full game experience can be achieved only with Final Fighters.

Weapon name: Boulder

Duration: Boulder will be destroyed after 1 throw

Damage: -10 HP

Weapon name: Sword

Duration: Sword will be destroyed after 3 landed attacks with it

Damage: 3 attacks each dealing -3 HP. 9 HP max damage.

Potential losses of Exodus Fighters are calculated by comparing guaranteed rewards. 

For e.g., Tax collectors have guaranteed 12.75 FFC reward after full staking period meanwhile FBI agent has 4.5 FFC guaranteed reward which is 65% lower than Tax collector. 

Junior Fighters will be getting allowance from their breeders(parents) which is equal to the 10% of the income. Junior Fighters won’t be allowed to work or train as they are too young. In case of Junior Fighters sale new owner will be awarded with the coins.

Possible rewards:

Min (1 day (full 24 hours turn-around): 0.085 FFC (10%) reward from Office worker + 0.085 FFC (10%) reward from Tax collector = 0.17 FFC

Max (5 day (full 24 hours turn-around): 4.275 FFC (10%) reward from Crime Lord + 3.6 FFC (10%) from FBI agent = 7.875 FFC
