I will be using my Tier Two Super Defense to block Larvae's Tier One Super Attack, negating it fully.

Round 2 Notes

Sat, 23 Jun 2018 20:50:37 +0000

In Round 2, the team that scored the highest will, by default, 'begin' the post order.

So if Person A and Person B scored 3.0 in Round 1 and are now facing the team of Person C and Person D, who scored a 2.8, the post order would be...

Person A -> Person C -> Person B -> Person D

If you hold posting precedence and you want to 'pass' it to the other team, you may. That'll be what this thread will be for.

Tomorrow morning, I'll go through and post the list of current matchups and the teams that will post first. In the meantime, you're more than welcome to do the math, if you wanna start planning now. I'll also post updated brackets.

For clarity sake, even though I’ve spoke with Joe and Alex about it already, the Orgosyth/Malefactor is being taken from Retane and will be going to Amber Veritz.

Fight #10 Cell/Ricter vs Ash/Jak

[spoiler]Cell:
Clarity/Description – 3 / 3
Voice – 3 / 3
Characterization – 3 / 3
Story – 2 / 2
Technical – 4 / 3
Notes: Your first post is straight-up one of the best ‘tiny posts’ I’ve read in a long time and reminded me “oh yea, this guy is one of the best writers on the website, even if no one takes notice.” You might be able to experiment more with paragraph/sentence sizing as you continue. Technicality aside, I think you’ll want to focus a little on Cell’s character. The vibe I mostly got was “Villainous bad guy with some smark.” There’s nothing wrong with that, but I think you’ll run afoul against some others who have conquered that trope (Zedd springs to mind).

Ricter
Clarity/Description – 2 / 1
Voice – 2 / 2
Characterization – 2 / 2
Story – 2 / 2
Technical – 1.5 / 1
Notes: I don’t want to sugar coat this, but you’d benefit from taking some time to edit your posts, especially for stuff like tense-switches. Had you been paired with someone lesser than Cell, you would have shot yourself in the foot. Try and learn from Cell.

Ash
Clarity/Description – 2 / 3
Voice – 3 / 2
Characterization – 3 / 3
Story – 3 / 2
Technical – 2 / 2
Notes: Ash is a layered character, but I felt like she spent a lot of your posts (particularly the first one) being a background character. Which was weird, because your character has that aura that makes people latch on to her in their own writing (hence why most posts had at least one ‘Ash-ism’). Unrelated but something that stuck out in my notes, but I thought it was weird that the narrator in your posts was calling Ash an ogre, which was the term that Cell used for her because that was his analogue from his setting.

Jak
Clarity/Description – 2 /2
Voice – 2 / 3
Characterization – 2 / 2.5
Story – 2 / 2
Technical – 1.5 / 2
Notes: A fan of your second post. The interplay between Light and Dark Jak makes for an interesting narrative spin for Jak in your second post and as you move forward, especially in light of this outcome. Will this help give Jak clarity of simply make him spin further into rage and frustration? Take just a little more time to glance over your posts, because you had a couple of errors that ‘stood out’ to me as I read (Technical)[/spoiler]

What Move Should I Steal?

Tue, 12 Jun 2018 15:45:46 +0000

So the bandit always streaks one move from anyone she kills. This is meant to be a momento to the fight, a respect to the character and writer I went up against, and a tongue in cheek "gotcha!" It's never meant to be a shitty or disrespectful thing, so I always want to reach out to folks and discuss it!

Hypothetically I could fight any of you, and potentially end up winning.

What would you think would be a fun thing to take from your character?

A few rules:
- It must be a physical object or represented physically and visibly
- It doesn't have to directly replicate a Move or power you already have
- I don't generally want to spend more than 1k on a single move (with two people per fight, this might get expensive )

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO RIP OUT OF YOUR COLD DEAD BODY

"A Round"

Mon, 11 Jun 2018 18:53:43 +0000

I've received this question in various forms over the last 36 hours, so I'm making one post that will hopefully resolve the inquiries.

For the purpose of 'time-based' mechanics in this 2-round, 2x2 tournament, please consider '1 round' to be 4 consecutive posts.

If I am Poster #2, and I decided to activate a Transformation in my post 'and have it go one round', that effect will conclude when it's my turn to post next.

Matchups YOU wanna see

Sun, 10 Jun 2018 14:30:48 +0000

I know that the Mickey-Gilgamesh matchup was one that entertained a lot of people, given the history of the characters and the fact that Wyatt and Jacob are both just such jolly people.

Are there any other matchups *you* would like to see as the tournament progresses? Whether because of the characters involved or the writers involved?

Round 1 Discussion

Sun, 10 Jun 2018 12:58:01 +0000

Please review Rules Pages [2] and [3] to review logistics for the fights and to figure out he fight order based on your thread title. I ain't holding you hands, I do that enough with teenagers during the week (<3)

Fight Area Description:

“Dante’s Abyss: Budokai” – Both teams are transported into an empty, Eastern-style tournament ground. There is an elevated stone platform surrounded by a short brick barrier that would normally keep the crowd away from the central platform. North of the platform is an ornate brick wall with some eastern-style monsters and an archway. The backdrop is also filled with mountains and pretty trees, but the limits of the fight zone terminate just beyond this archway and just beyond the brick audience barriers. The fight itself takes place on this platform, for a lovely dose of 'up close and personal' (apologies to you range fanatics). The barrier of the Fight Area is just a few inches beyond the brick wall and the entrance archway.

Stipulation: Fighters will battle until both members of one team have been thrown to the ground outside the platform (writers may obviously not roleplay eliminating their foes as that will be saved for the end post)

Note Power Rankings

Fri, 08 Jun 2018 22:28:52 +0000

Power rankings for the preshow will be up in the next few minutes, so I can go lounge in a pool raft with a book on 10th century Europe that has been rotting in my work briefcase for about three months.

As in years passed, all power rankings are done "in-character" and subject to the thoughts of Karl Jak the character. This is particularly true of the preshow, where something like 10+ of you have done nothing, and while Alex knows that you're likely capable of kicking a few faces in the first round, you haven't proven JAK SHIT to Karl.

The next installation of Power Rankings will come after Round 1.
