Katana's katana case

Q: Hi Soda! im wondering does katana has a case for his katana?? im curious :^

A: I never made one! honestly i kinda imaged that phighters could phase their gears in and out of existence at will since they are more or less connected to them in a spiritual way (that's why none of them really have carrying cases or sheaths haha)

if i had to design a sheath, it would probably be made out of Damascus steel since that's the same material his gear is made out of! its extremely pretty :)

Q: haii soda! :3 ive been wondering, does boombox ever take off his visor? CAN he even take it off?

Q: wait wat happens to their gear if they like break it, are they able to just get anotha from tha soul bank good as new or do they DIE

Q: What’s up with sword’s Mohawk thingy? Is it a helmet?

Rocket and Vine Staff's arms/legs, Rocket can't swim

Q: Hello Soda :D 👋 I've always been curious about Rocket's prosthetic arm and leg and Vinestaff's arm, does that get in the way of their routine or not?

A: For Rocket yeah it does, he can’t swim and I’d imagine he has to be pretty careful about his strength since it was made with advanced tech

For Vine staff she still treats it as a normal arm since she can feel with it and whatnot, probably uses it to her advantage since she can grow stuff off of it

Demons don't have last names, but can change their name

Q: I know you guys already talked about the spawn and stuff, but is there a last name system? Or is it just their gear as names.

A: No, they don't have last names. All demons are referred to by their gear names, HOWEVER they do have the ability to change their names to something else. (An example of this would Dom and Valk since those are stage names! Their real names are Mic and Megaphone) and for consistency/old roblox theming, demons would most likely either be referred to by their gear names or can be named after an accessory if they so please.

8 July 2023 - Link | Image

There can be multiple demons with the same gear

Q: Also, is there multiple versions of the same gear type? Like is their several Boomboxes but for each genre?-

A: multiple variants of the same gear type CAN exist! there can be multiple Boomboxes but that doesn't necessarily mean they all look the same or even act the same! they just have the same abilities

Demons have a human lifespan, but rarely survive that long

Q: Hi Soda! I was just wondering about this, what is the average lifespan of phighters?

A: I think they would have the normal lifespan as a human but demons and especially phighters tend to die off at a really young age because of how violent their world is and just because the regions/crossroads are in constant battle with one another

demons who are older (like Zuka for instance) are rare just cause they have to be pretty damn strong for them to make it to that age

Demons die when they are killed

Q: if they can respawn, when exactly do phighters die? is there a limit to how many times they can respawn??? or can they not usually respawn and its just a phight thing and im stupid?

Sword and Zuka's family are close, Zuka worked with the deities

Q: Hi Soda it's me again! so I was left with this doubt what is the relationship between Zuka and Sword? there is a dialogue that says that Zuka taught him a trick (I'm curious, if you want, you don't have to answer!)

A: sword and rocket's family have always been close in my mind and considering Zuka has worked with the deities in the past, that meant Venomshank already trusted him and considered him a great fighter so Zuka was one of the only people he trusted sword to be with... And that kinda meant Sword learned how to blow up stuff with rocket.

Whoops.

PHIGHTING! used to be set in hell

Q: is there a reason u decided to give the phighting characters horns in the remake? since in phighting 2 they dont have any. or was it just like this looks cool / this fits them?

A: Well they were never suppose to be demons in phighting 1 and 2, then when i was brought onto the project i suggested the idea of a fighting tournament in hell with demon characters! The story isn't really the same anymore nor are they in hell but the demon concept stuck around since we liked it a lot :P

Flipside and Ban Hammer know their family, but Sword doesn't particularly

Q: hiii sodaaa. no need to answer this. i was just curious. since the sfoth consider themselves family, would their children consider themselves family by proxy (e.g: valk, dom, banhammer and sword)

A: if im understanding the question correctly then im assuming you're asking if flipside, sword and banhammer see the sfoth as family?

i think it varies per each kid, flipside would know more about their lineage and have probably spent time with them at family gatherings, same with banhammer

...Sword doesn't really know who his family is outside of Venomshank. and that weird green wizard guy he sees sometimes.

Dom wears a binder and likes to appear androgynous

Q: I apologize if this sounds weird: but why would dom need to wear a binder? Is it only for fashion or does he have man boobs? Or perhaps something else?

A: mostly for fashion but i think he likes appearing more androgynous, phighters really only have a few body types since they are all canonically agender so thats the best i could come up with haha

Subspace was always a bad person, but was enabled by Blackrock

Q: was subspace just born a little shit or was it because of how he was raised/other external things (like blackrock's eviroment in general,,)

A: in my eyes subspace was just...never really a good person from the start. He always held contempt for other demons to an obsessive degree (you can very much see that with medkit lol) and it didn't help that Blackrock essentially was enabling all the horrible shit he does since he's considered a valuable asset to them, thats all i can rlly say

Demons rarely get into romantic relationships

Q: i know you're probably sick to death of shipping and stuff but . is romance even a thing in the inphinity ? i get technically dom and valk's parents divorced which sorta implies that there was once romance ( unless people be getting married for the fun of it ) but like . not even between phighters . just like do they be holding hands sometimes and giggling and blushing too

A: imo its. a very rare sight to see any kind of demons be in relationship with each other because of the whole exchange thing with Da Spawn. If we're talking about phighters specifically then no, none of them are romantically involved with each other

12 July 2023 - Link | Image

Missing eyes represent trauma, except for The Broker

Q: Why are there so many characters with only one eye, and is there a backstory to how broker got his glass eye?/nfta

A: the way i see it, missing eyes serve as a more symbolic representation of deep scars/trauma for most of the characters who have them

that and. It's not exactly easy to model scars/mangled limbs in roblox and it would be skirting the edge of the TOS lol

broker will remain a mystery, for now at least

12 July 2023 - Link | Image

The Broker is the best at chess and eats the pieces

Q: odd question, but who do you think out of the phighters would be the best at chess?

Sword is the only person Medkit considers a real friend

Q: if it isn't any trouble, could you tell us a bit more about sword and medkit's relationship….. as a treat.

A: as for sword and med, I think Sword is the only person Medkit considers a real friend that he like. Somewhat cares about (which is impressive in Medkit's perspective)

i like to think Medkit tried to shoo him off but Sword always kept coming back around

Demon's gears are random when spawning

Q: hiii cant remember where the ask is but i vaguely remember you mentioning how medkit was more invested in tech and didnt wanna be a doctor so i cant help but wonder :

is it possible for demons in the phighting universe to get stuck with a gear that they dont like? thanks :]

A: yes! its pretty much random for every demon what gear they get when they spawn, even for biological demons who have parents. So some of them can turn out Really Crappy

Medkit hurt Subspace out of self-defense

Q: i thought the whole thing with subspace and medkit was that they didnt like each other and with the incident was them both hurting each other and that medkit hurt subspace more so how does that make subspace an abuser

A: I suppose I could have clarified a bit? yes Medkit hurt Subspace but it was purely out of self defense. Sub and Med never liked each other but it was because Subspace thrived on seeing others hurt, trust me, he's hurt a lot more demons than just Medkit

Characters would have actual voices in-universe

Q: in-universe would they have regular voices or talk like how they do in-game?

do demons speak a language seperate from ours?

A: I think in universe they would have actual voices. The little beeps they make are just so the dialog feels more “alive” and we don’t exactly have the resources to hire voice actors and whatnot, we also just don’t want to hire voice actors because it sounds really uncanny in roblox games.

I don’t think we have a name for their language since it’s just based on whatever language the player is using for their roblox client lol

Subspace has always been Subspace

Q: I remember during a Q&A in the bogcom discord you talked about how phighters essentially are born with their weapons, those items becoming their own name. Did Subspace have a previous identity before developing the crystals he uses now?

A: Nope! He was always Subspace, the crystals just allow him to become more dangerous

Illumina is a demon of words and not action

Q: hello, this is my first time asking here!!

Can we please have some Illumina facts? I've never heard any 🙁

A: I already gave an illumina fact earlier but I suppose another one couldn’t hurt

I’ve always imagined them as more of a demon of words and not action, essentially breaking down whoever is facing them verbally and scaring them off without having to even lift a finger

Of course they would also be insanely powerful (y’know, being a deity and all) but I think they find a bit of amusement in it

Medkit is pretty depressing

Q: does anything make medkit happy or is he just a dead depressed soul

A: well after Blackrock he just kinda became a shell of his former self. Pretty depressing i'd say!

of course, he does enjoy Sword and Rocket's company but outside of that I don't think he cares too much about anything

edit: and i suppose he does care for 1 other person but he hasn't been revealed yet >:3

Q: Hello soda! I love how you guys made BlackRock like an evil organisation that creates machines and stuff

and I've been wanting to ask, is the mass-production of biografts posing a threat to any of the other factions or are there like 10 or 20 of them?

Thanks!

A: i dont think i can give an exact number rn but its quite a lot .

Yes they are considered a threat but the other regions have their own defenses as well! I wouldn't underestimate them........Especially lost temple :3c

Subspace holds few people in high regard

Q: Hello Soda,hope you're having great day/night! As for the question,will the be any character that Subspace will have good relationship with or will he just stay loser forever? I remember on one stream you said that he hates everyone and everyone hats him,but i still wanted to know if he will have even slight good relationship with anyone?

A: gotta be careful with how i answer this

Subspace only holds a few people in high regard, mostly, people who are higher-ups at Blackrock like his boss or just powerful people in general (Banhammer is a good example even though the feeling is very much not mutual) but everyone outside of these select few is just expendable trash to him

i wouldn't say anyone is particularly close to him though

All siblings are found family, except for the SFOTH, and Vine Staff and Shuriken

Q: unsure if this has been answered, but what's the deal with siblings?

since some phighters are created from sacrificed weapons, or just spawning in, how would siblings work? would it just be a coincidence?

A: i assume this is about vine staff and shuriken since they are the only biologically related siblings all i will say is that their creation is unconventional, not like any normal demon(s)

any other sibling pair is found family

EDIT: just realized forgot to say, anything relating to the SFOTH like valk/dom and firebrand/windforce are also biological, the rules of the spawn applies differently to the deities

Both Windforce and Ban Hammer have wings

Q: g'day soda

how come banhammer (and possibly windforce) don't have wings like the other deities/deity descendants do?

many thanks goodbye

A: They do have wings, in a sense

Windforce does have a bit of a "halo" on her back thats present whenever she flies, its a sort of stand-in for normal wings

Banhammer has them too, though, he doesn't utilize them in-game so they aren't present in his model

Ban Hammer is not evil

Q: thought of a better question than the one i sent previously; if you can say anything, where exactly do banhammer’s morals lie? is he evil or something i can’t wrap my head around that guy

A: Banhammer is far from evil, however, his form of "justice" isn't exactly one that aligns well with the other demons

he does what he thinks is right and is a massive asshole about it

Characters don't have specific races or body types

Q: haiii i dunno if dis has been answered before so i apologize if it has but do the phighters have things like canon body types, races, etc. and would that mean the drawings u make of them r canon? or r things like that completely up to your interpretation.

A: they are completely blank slates, and it will probably stay that way. I think what a lot of people like about the characters is cause they’re so simple looking, people can interpret them into looking whichever way they like since at the end of the day they are just blocks

I have my own headcanons and stuff when it comes to body types/race specifically but it’s not very significant

Windforce and Ban Hammer are a power duo

Q: Hai soda!!!!

What is Windforces and Banhammers relationship like as mother and son? Was Windforce ever neglectful, as she was said to not care about much stuff, or is this an exemption for Banhammer or not? Is Banhammer like actively trying to get Windforces approval (because Banhammer lines say ‘this one’s for you momma!’, is this also why Banhammers stupid…) Thanks!!

A: haha nah, Windforce and Banhammer are a power duo and they love each other very much!

i like to think when Windforce is battling she also likes to shout him out kinda similar to how he does it in game, i.e, "This one's for my son!" or something silly like that. Maybe he got it from her

Can we get a little more explanation to previous Katana/Medkit interaction that have been answered? Like, for what reason would he try to kill him?
