OOC: King Of Fighters: A New Champion

[Seikyu Kiba]

Although the RP won't be starting until June 6th, I thought it might be a good idea to give you guys a thread to discuss the RP amongst yourselves, you can discuss theories and other things, but if you're going to ask me a question, I don't have to answer them, and neither does Shobu or Tetsano...we want to keep things secret.


So discuss away.

[Señor Nobody]

Thank you Kiba, I was feeling bad spamming the signup.

Nobody, I'm not that perverted.

I know, just ruffling your feathers.Everybody is a little perverted and you're no different,

Besides, what did you picture me as?

...Meh, I'm prone to hero-worship.

[Dr. Hax]

List of Heroes:

-Bruce Lee
-Odin
-Aeon from Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron)
-Bolvek (DMC 2)
-Dante and Lucia (DMC 2)

[The Rogue Devil]

pretty random list of heroes especially the demon Bolverk.

[Rem Nightfall]

Nobody, I'm not that perverted. Besides, what did you picture me as? Plus, I think every man is in some aspect. But let's wait for an OOC to start up to continue this.

And yet you yelled out a perverted thought. There is a thing called an inner filter. You should use it some time is all I am saying.

[Dr. Hax]

Bolverk was annoying!!!

Every time, he'd smack me out of the air and pull a multi-stab combo...Then those damned wolves serve as another hindrance due to them hopping around all the time.

I basically get the same sentence from father enough as it is. I don't need another telling me the same.

Until we get more characters, I shall continue trying to beat DMC 2 on MDM (Dante Disc first.)

I will also be playing Aeon Flux (with voice acting by Charlize Theron) as it kind of reminds me of GITS: SAC, the game. Both are for the PS2.

[Señor Nobody]

Bolverk was super annoying, kept beating me into the dirt.

You didn't beat DMC 2 yet?

[Dr. Hax]

Well, I'm tryin' Must Die Mode with the Dante Disc Right now. I have yet to try it with Lucia.

Right now, I have max level Rebellion, Lvl 3 Vendetta, Lvl 4 Merciless, Max lvl Handguns, Lvl 4 Sub-machine guns, Lvl 4 Shotgun and Lvl 3 Rocket Launcher.

[Seikyu Kiba]

Hey people just a quick thing, is everyone okay with me doing the sign ups and then leaving for 7 days? Because I don't want anyone to just give up on the RP while I'm gone.

[Rem Nightfall]

Well I always thought the reason Co-Gms were there were to take over for the GM when he disappeared.

[Señor Nobody]

Pfft, you gave me my mecha, I think I can wait 7 days.

[Seikyu Kiba]

I know what a Co-GM is for, it's just if I start the RP now, I would like to be the one who starts it and then give the run down to the Co-GM's on what they are doing that's all, I also don't want to get back and have a bunch of reading and point adding to do. I mean yes they will be doing the point adding and such, but, well I could start it now if everyone likes me too, and inform the Co-GM's how everything will work.

[Señor Nobody]

You don't have to if you don't want to, just go with what would be convenient for you.

[Rem Nightfall]

Whatever you're comfortable with.

[Seikyu Kiba]

Good point my friend, yes it would be more convenient for me if I did this RP when I return. For one I don't want to come back and read everything, and two the Co-GM's aren't just GM's but announcers too, and before I even start I need to write something (Almost done but trust me you guys will love it)

[FaroDomisai]

I am so excited I can't wait to fight all of you

[Tetsanosuke]

So, I assume everyone knows the forms of paragraph fighting? As fighting each other is a main aspect of this RP, I hope everyone is clear on the difference between god modding and the opposite.

[Seikyu Kiba]

Well Tetsano while you're here now and asking why don't you explain it to them?

[Tetsanosuke]

Here is my source for easy reference, and the T1 system is generally a good guideline. Obviously more detail should go into posts, but at the same time this should be known innately.

T1 Fighting is a paragraph based RP combat system. This deals with positioning and attempts.

--Positioning is the placement of your character, his/her weapons, arms, legs, and basically every part of their body. In certain positions you cannot react well to given conditions or events. This may seem complicated but try to be realistic... At times your sword in a riposte or parry will be ineffective to block another attack depending on the placement.

--Attempts are just that. You cannot auto-hit someone, that is to say, determine your opponent's fate or what they would do. You must give them a chance to react to the circumstances presented to them. Remember, sometimes you just have to take a hit... your not immortal either and if your slashed across the chest, its going to hurt like hell. Basically you are trying to force your opponent into a position where they have to take a hit.

Ules Note: Doing something along the lines of posting "He swung with such speed that it'd be impossible to dodge", and then getting mad if someone does is just as bad as godding them being hit. If it truly would be impossible, that'd be obvious. You may, however, use descriptors such as 'very difficult to avoid', 'tough to dodge', and 'lightning fast bolt', and then if the person's already in a bad position and dodges for no good reason or without any good rp, THEN you may question it. But keep such questioning to pm's.

The final thing to think about is timing. Dont do some idiotic thing like straighten your hair instead of blocking unless you can maneuver with the attack and gain more time. Be reasonable people!



Example of Bad attempt:
"Jared swung his sword to hit William" Or "Jared swung his sword in a powerful motion, hacking into William's side, creating a large, bleeding wound"

Example of a good attempt:
"Jared threw the bottle in his left hand in a straight, quick motion, hoping to use it as a distraction as he ran forward, swinging his shortsword in a counterclockwise arc from the right, attempting to hack into William's side"

Example of Bad Reply:
"William dodged aside" OR "The bottle missed William, failing to hit him, as he grabbed the incoming sword with his gauntleted hand, easily wrenching it from his opponent" (Assuming you disarm an opponent is just as bad as assuming you hit)

Example of Good Reply:
"William moved out of the way of the bottle just in time, however the trick worked as the incoming sword easily hit his side, causing him to be knocked down from the blow. Luckily, his leather armor prevented the damage from being too serious" OR "William saw the bottle coming ahead of time, and moved his right hand to knock it aside, as he moved his gauntleted left hand toward the sword swing, attempting to grab and wrench it from Jordan's hand"

NOTE: If you confer with your opponent via PM and work something out there, note it OOC and use that to assure Godmodding isn't suspected. Like if you and your opponent both think you'll win, and you'd like to plan out the fight before hand, then that's okay.

But if you want to just have at it without previously planned things then the T1 concept is a VERY good guideline. Never assume you hit, and unless it's a fairly obvious tough situation to get by, don't try to make it seem impossible to get past. and ALWAYS, ALWAYS remember to take your hits and remember how much your character can take. A 12 year old body even if it was pumping weights for half of it's life will undoubtedly have less a damage sustaining capability then that of a 26 year old who's been training most of his or her life.

So even if it's fiction, take into consideration everything about your character and what your character does, and make sure you know the above system.

And here is some other RP based vernacular that might be useful to the beginners

[Seikyu Kiba]

And there you have it folks, I will be having this as a guide line in the RP, so we won't lose it! Thank you Tetsano for that wonderful report. XD

[Rem Nightfall]

You do realize this RPG got me to take out my PS2 and play some KOF XI. I will tell you this Magaki is a cheap cheap cheap boss. He's is such a cheater.

[Seikyu Kiba]

Me, Tetsano, and Overlord were playing KoF at Tetsano's house today, it was awesome. XD

[Rem Nightfall]

Darn I want to join. I'd kick your butt.

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

Darn I want to join. I'd kick your butt.

Probably, I don't really play KoF. I mostly play Soul Calibur, MK, or SSB: Brawl with Tetsano and Kiba whenever I can.

But while playing Kiba left early telling us we should leave to meet him at his house. Tim and I kept playing so this added a fun scenario in my head:


"Ok, Tetsano...I can either A. Be on time for my date which will determine the future of my relationship with her OR B. Continue playing KoF.........Tetsano...prepare to be pwned"
