[chronicle_tenko]

Oh c'mon it's only been 40 minutes between posts. Cripes I'm gonna go back to bed for another hour. Wake up when this place is alive. And when I am.

When this ENDED. and I do mean when it ended. I was thinking of starting a Megamix.

I.E. you can pick any (Reasonably) powered Char out of any fighter and play them. With Exceptions ov the Vs X-men series. Cause that's just idiotic.

Sorry it is. Cool game though. But I was thinking All the other Capcom vs SNK vs Rare's Vs and whoever. One char limit and no gods. Oh and sorry to you but No customs.

I think this mostly comes from my bizzare desire to see Zangief fight MAY and Potemkin at the same time.

The night hasn't ended in the thread has it?

 

[musicankane]

Everybody has seemed to agree that's it's dawn now. I've seen in mentioned in posts so far. I guess thats morning.

 

[dragonrazor]

for some of the characters, yes....i only said that it was morning, not that it was dawn

 

[Katamari Roller]

No, the night has not ended yet. But it shouldn't take long.



I place it as being around 4:00 AM now, more or less.

 

[dragonrazor]

in other words, it's still dark out

 

[chronicle_tenko]

Only for Some.

For Ryu and Chun-Li. Ken, Karin, Balrog, And Vega. It's still last night. And for the rest of Us it's Still Early Morn Or so. Funny how time works.

 

[Masume]

Okay. Thanks for the clear up!

 

[Katamari Roller]

Well, if we really need to unify time, make it 2-3 AM and it is settled. Really, no need to be fussy about time.




Also, did we decide on the fighting system yet? If not, I thought we could simply have each opponent post twice (1, 2, 1, 2), and then have the others vote in the OOC suggesting the final outcome of the battle. The posts of the fighters would serve to let the voters know how, and how hard the fighters work, and then they can vote as well as suggest an outcome. The outcome most suggested gets implemented in posts by the fighters.

Sounds good?

 

[musicankane]

that sounds good to me.

 

[chronicle_tenko]

Okay. Thanks for the clear up!

Welcome.

Well Sagat is likely still a little hungover. And I'm feeling a little fucked over myself. Late night. Just couldn't sleep. And Lit kept dragging me back. So it's been no hours of sleep.

I think Sagat is gonna get breakfast in the club. Make them get it.

I love being World-Reknowned and massive. Every-one does what you want.

Why not just the Efed method. This is the same thought. But with two posts. I suppose there are two rounds to win, But Why not Just do the whole fight in one post in a different thread. Then vote there and Paste the outcome. It worked very well for Masume and Me. Despite no one really voting.

 

[Katamari Roller]

I prefer multiple posting. It is more fun to attack, see how your opponent reacts, and then react to his reaction. And then have the others vote on the winner depending on the style, execution, spectacularity, and writing skill.

Multiple posting is not supposed to represent multiple rounds. It is supposed to represent sections of a few seconds of the fight. That is, each PC (Player Character) would post a part of the fight with his character's actions and thoughts and a bit of the other characters' actions defending. Then viceversa.


Think of it as an exchange of offense and defense between players.

 

[musicankane]

if we do it this way. Guile may have a chance, I've been writing fight scenes since I was in 7th grade.

I do understand that. The only thing I'm saying is that it FORCES someone to give up initiative. Then that person is on the defensive. And unless they either

Cheat - And just say that they gain it back.
No-Sell - Act like what there opponent does means nothing.

Then there isn't an interaction. Between two good players. people who are trying to write a good story. Whoever went first would win every time. They'd be the only one on the offensive.

Also how do you write as first person what happens. Do you automatically say. I hit with your opening maneuver? Two posts is nowhere near enough time to think like that. And it could drag for hundreds.

Writing your entire scene works best to avoid petty differences.

Not to say your Idea is without merit. And If I worked out with an opponent the fight before hand, I'd do a post by post. Which would seem more natural.

But trust me. All it will take to send you method into madness will be one person who says.

It misses and I fire back.

Then why wouldn't you want to write the entire scene?

 

[dragonrazor]

oddly enough, i liked the way i and...uh...the guy playing balrog....did it...we asked Masume which of us she wanted to win, and both wrote from there

 

[musicankane]

If I write the whole scene then it's not fair because I'll most likely want my guy to win. but I'm good at being fair. If someone writes moves too much for Guile then Guile will lose.

Some of us would like more of a chance to defend ourselves than Pick a number.

I am not sure you caught what I meant.

The person posting has the initiative. The person posting decides what damage he dishes out and receives, short of massive damage (undodged Hadoukens, for example) and inmediate knock-out maneuvers. The person posting can switch between offensive and deffensive stances.

Then, when he has posted, his opponent posts doing the same. Change of stances, a fluid combat, damages incurred, etc...


The beauty of the system is that no one can abuse it because if I am the first one to post, and I break someone's arm, then that person might break my arm too and then some more. It strikes a Cold War balance where both opponents are equal, knowing that their opponent's next post will either rise the stakes, or keep the fight balanced.


In the end, though, no matter the broken arms. It will be the others who decide who wins. I might break Ryu's arm and start tap-dancing around him, but that would be so ridiculous and would destroy the balance so much, everyone else would be justified in having Ryu Hadouken my ass with only one hand.

 

[dragonrazor]

i find it easier to direct fight scenes if i know who the person in charge wants to win <<

 

[Masume]

I had mentioned before it may not be so bad to have everyone pick his or her own style. If both agree to do the E-fed style then that's fine. Or if they wanted to do post by post that's fine as well.

Personally. I am for the E-Fed style. But that's just me it's about what you guys are comfortable with.

 

[Katamari Roller]

Another advantage my system has, is that anyone can learn about the opponent's fighting capabilities and use them in their posts.

I barely know anything about the attacks of most fighters. So by only writing a section of the fight focusing on my character, I am introducing my style for the other person to learn and react to. And viceversa.
