PEACE, MATCH B
Attackers pay down Samus (6 GP, 1 remains). Vanille forfeits the terrain bid.

WAR, MATCH B
Damus, Vanille, Dekar (Chun, Cut, Ice, Quick)
VS. [Quick Man Stage]
MUST WIN: Gravity, Shadow, Skull, Gyro, Strike w/Ilya, Burst

Attackers defer. Time for the longshot 1/70 chance. Skull Shield goes to…Quick Man. There goes that plan. Gravity is doubled for Dekar. There are clouds because why not. Attackers say lol.

Damus, Vanille, Dekar [Double Gravity]
VS. [Quick Man Stage] [Clouds]
Gravity, Shadow, Skull, Gyro, Strike, Burst

Blowout, right?

Civ VI: Got into a Holy War with Roosevelt finally, and gave him a quick beatdown. Catholicism prevails, which is good because he's got a nice start on a religion win and is my main rival for score. Things are chugging along nicely, and I'm trying to be a bit smarter about my space race setup this time.

Scrubs 2-11- My Sex Buddy: I think JD/Elliot getting back together was the last straw for Wifebolo, so back to the rotation it goes! The sex scenes are starting to push it for me too. So is the amount of Elliot in general. I made a topic and b8's response has quickly put this in the "maybe drop" category.

Pokemon: Lana is p cute and her trial was fun, but sadly no strapping young swimmers. I was worried I wouldn't have enough damage output to take down the totem, but Dartrix had me covered. (after a brief assist from Pikachu) I'm guessing fire is next? Dartrix is probably gone and Cubone is back, I think. I don't like Dartrix nearly as much as Rowlett anyway!

Girl Genius: I have heard briefly of Othar, and expected to love him. I already do. Mount Horeb, of all things, is offhandedly mentioned, which seems odd. Anyway, I'm intrigued by the talking cat, and by whatever Gil is up to with Von Zinzer.

I have heard that's a pain! This one I think you just sporadically get eggs and they may or may not be better than what you have

It's awkward because Ramza is so far ahead of the rest of my team, which means that new Chocobos (and more importantly random enemies!) are really high level by comparison.

WCW Superbrawl II

US Title- Rude (c) v. Steamboat: Rude has SO MUCH HEAT and I love this match before it even starts. It is indeed good stuff! There's an awkward spot with a crossbody that was probably supposed to go over the top but bounced back instead. Steamboat with possibly the best diving lariat sell ever. Great match, but THE NINJA hits Steamboat with a phone! :O

Pokemon: My eggs are starting to hatch! I was able to trade one Litten off for a Rowlett, but I didn't immediately see a Litten-Popplio trade so I put it up on the GTS. I have no idea how that works so we'll see how it goes. Fought the weird guy whose name I forget....Type:Null bothers me.

WoT CoS: Excellent, more Cadsuane. Moiraine certainly is coming up a lot recently! I fully expect her to return, but I think I'd remember if I'd read that, and I think I got about one book farther than this.

Civ: My "good friends" England did a surprise war. It was actually a surprise this time at least! ...But I squashed 'em anyway.

DR3 Despair 7- The Incident: oh man the thing is gonna happen after two games of talking around it? But first, Nagito's butt. ....HOLY CRAP. ...Shouldn't Munakata have been here though? Look after Kyoko, eh? Hmmm.

LP MGS1 8-2: oh hey naomi backstory. I thought the time bomb was pretty cool!

Clannad: It is suddenly of utmost importance to me that Kotomi and Ryou become friends. I don't often have strong platonic ships but that is probably a bigger deal to me than any romantic ships in this game. Ryou deserves to get SOMETHING out of this game and she's really nice and they'd get along. Also why the dang heck would you even try introducing Kotomi to Kyou? Kyou actually is a bully. >_>

that does sound somewhat lazy!

Pokemon: We're up to Paniola Ranch! Snagged Igglybuff and Eevee, so those are happening. Now is the time of hard decisions, though. I have bred two Litten eggs in hopes of trading for the other starters. Torracat, Igglybuff and Slowpoke are definitely still in, but the other slots are up for grabs, especially since I am getting slightly mixed signals on what I'll be fighting soon. Gumshoos, Cubone, Pikachu, Eevee, Crabrawler, Carbink, and maybe some others are all under consideration, and I also have several eggs to juggle. I'm trying to see if I can breed a Tauros, since it and Miltank are on the same page.

Girl Genius: This is pretty fun, although the Western-ness of it is still taking some adjustment. We're on Castle Wulfenbach, so that's fun.

Cool :D

Pokemon: Done with the first island I think! Took Tauros for a lap to find more stuff. I feel like wild pokemon areas take longer to slog through now? The call for help mechanic is pretty annoying, and encounter rates seem to be up and wild pokemon take more hits. (or my team just sucks???) So I get tired of some of the areas before I can fully explore 'em, but I still like the game a lot overall. Evolved Gumshoos, Pikachu, and Persian! Debating my team currently. Alolan Persian looks pretty dumb, so I think it's out, sadly. I have a Crabrawler that I'm debating keeping around, and I've also been tempted to swap in Misdreavus and Petitlil. Litten and Slowpoke are about the only guarantees for now.

#FE: Well here I was all geared up to duke it out with Horinozawa but I guess I have to plot more first. I can't decide if this Tsurugi dude is a future party member or the big bad, but after that song I'm leaning more towards the latter.

Mantis, Bandicoot, Guts, Shade, and Sword have challenged Fox, Dragonborn, Nova, and Big Boss to a fight! Location of the fight: Commander's Room. The site of the battle with Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid, complete with lots of random furniture to throw at opponents. Access to the rest of Shadow Moses is denied.

Psycho Mantis is as seen in Metal Gear Solid. He has full use of his psychokinesis and telepathy, levitation, and his optic camouflage. He will not necessarily be able to dodge every attack just because he can read his opponent's minds, cannot mind control his opponents, and cannot break the fourth wall or use his BLACKOUT attack in the battle. His parameters are boosted 25%.

Crash Bandicoot is as seen in the various Crash incarnations. He has access to all his regular abilities including his Wumpa Fruit Bazooka.

Guts Man is as seen in Mega Man. He does not shake the ground so hard when moving that he automatically knocks people down, and he may throw things that aren't special blocks. He is not limited to using his boss patterns exclusively. His parameters are boosted 25%.

Shade Man is as seen in Mega Man 7. He is not limited to using his boss patterns exclusively. His parameters are boosted 25%.

Sword Man is as seen in Mega Man 8. He is not limited to using his boss patterns exclusively. His parameters are boosted 25%.


~VERSUS~

This entire team starts the match knocked down.

Fox McCloud is as he appears in the Star Fox series, piloting the fully upgraded Landmaster in all-range mode as seen in Star Fox 64 in from the nearest convenient location to his team. He has no bombs. He may leave the cockpit but will only have his Blaster from Star Fox: Assault if he does so. Every attack from Fox will somehow wildly miss Mantis's team, even if the attack is an area of effect attack that couldn't actually miss or is unable to miss in any other way, it will somehow miss anyway. 16 seconds after Mantis is defeated, this effect will wear off.

The Last Dragonborn is as he appears in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, as a Breton with all Warrior and Thief perks, but only non-DLC Destruction, Restoration, and Alteration spells and perks (except Paralysis spells), and access to all unenchanted Dragon-smithed equipment. He has all non-DLC Dragon Shouts except Animal Allegiance, Call Dragon, Call of Valor, Dismay, and Kyne's Peace all fully upgraded.

Nova is as she appears in Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty and Heroes of the Storm, with her cloak behaving as it does in the latter. She only has the talents Advanced Cloaking, Rewind and Pinning Shot, and use of the Heroic Ability, Precision Strike. She cannot use Domination.

Big Boss is as he appears in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in his Battle Dress and Helmet. He has an AM-MRS-4 assault rifle, Kabarga-83 shotgun, HAIL-MGR-4 grenade launcher, AM-MRS-73 sniper rifle, LPG-61 machine gun, PB Shield, CGM-25 rocket launcher, Geist P3 pistol, a full complement of throwing and placed weaponry, and Blast Arm, all fully upgraded. Additionally, he has D-Dog with him.

D.Dog is as seen in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain with the Sneaking (Knife) uniform.

I’m curious if Sword Man can counter Fox but it’s probably best to save it for High anyway. Defer. Defenders feel confident, and Done. Mantis tells Fox it’s USELESS. Guts Man knocks attackers down, Shade Man boosts villains, and Wind Man sucks in…Vercetti. Attackers take terrain 4 to 1+3. Commander’s Room.

LP MGS1 8-1: pretty much just torture scenes

Clannad: I dunno if Kotomi is officially on the spectrum or not, but that's my headcanon at least and I'm stickin' to it. Through that lens, it's pretty interesting watching her interact with stuff and people, and her bonding with Nagisa was pretty great. I wonder where this is ultimately going?

Pokemon: Beat my first trial! I miss gyms and I don't think that's ever gonna change, but the Totem fight was pretty cool too, and harder than I'd expect from the franchise. Cubone did indeed replace Makuhita, although I don't know if any of these guys are gonna be here for the long haul other than Litten and maybe Slowpoke.

Pokemon: Dinked around Festival Plaza, and got a Cubone in a Wonder Trade. Think he'll come in for Makuhita.

Homestuck parting thoughts: That ending wasn't BAD, but it felt pretty rushed given what I expected from 7 years of Homestuck buildup. Good stuff still!

And in accordance with LAST Tompic, it is now time for....

Girl Genius: I started this once a while ago, but didn't get super far. I look forward to fixing that- the art style is gonna take getting used to but I like steampunk and female leads. This is not how I remembered it starting but we'll get there I guess! ....I don't get an incredibly evil vibe from the Wulfenbachs, and especially not Gilgamesh. The Baron looks and acts like a villain but I expect there's more to him, and I fully expect Gil to turn face at some point. Still early on.

DR3 Future 3- Ultra Despair Girls: I love Komaru's intro. And hey, the other kids are here too! If we knew they survived UDG, I had forgotten it. I am getting more and more onboard the Toukomaru train as we go on, even without an LPer fangirling over it. ...Monaka hecking off to space suddenly is pretty amazing. Also, they are not allowed to kill Kirigiri. Anybody else, I'll be sad about, but Kirigiri is forbidden.
