| KanzarisKelshen 01/10/19 10:32:02 PM #78 | Speaking of sharpening merc identities to make them more attractive the next match topic we're planning to put up is another sneak preview of our work fixing old mercenaries. Hint as to who's involved: this character very recently got a major announcement related to their franchise. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

DeathChicken posted...Random thought that Agent 47 would become a murder machine if given like, Mardi Gras from Blood Money as a terrain Sneak peek of some of the work we did on him: Silent Assassin (Passive): After being on the receiving end of an assassination attempt a few times already, 47 has learned to cover his tracks. If he is rostered for battle, the enemy team will not be aware of his participation in the fight, nor will they realize the fight is not yet over if they defeat all of his teammates while he remains undiscovered. So, y'know - we hear ya, DC ;) --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

| KanzarisKelshen 01/09/19 12:04:03 PM #70 | Define tangents? I don't think we terribly mind people arguing teams, like, use stage hazards in their favor. The stuff we do kinda mind are Cow votes that feel like a protest of the game, mostly. It's fine to joke vote for a bit but keeping those votes parked on a joke ends up making both merc leaders feel bad. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

| KanzarisKelshen 01/09/19 3:41:43 AM #59 | I feel like I've discussed this before, but something we wanna do for M5 in general is make terrain more meaningful - and this starts with giving actual consideration to whether we wanna remove the native fauna (read: enemies) from a terrain. I don't know if you guys have ever thought about it, but our old reliable standby of 'and no enemies or NPCs are present' is a humongous nerf to stealth characters, which is why their respect is so swingy. It's hard as fuck to stealth around when every level is deader than the graveyard's tenants! By contrast, with a big crowd of noisy people milling about, characters like Ezio, Snake and others start performing at their 'proper' level instead of getting nerfed because we keep asking for stand-up fights. It also gives more of a chance for personality arguments to matter - 'kefka is batshit insane and will hurt anyone' becomes relevant if there's a couple hundred guards with machineguns in a given terrain and the other team is being led by a charismatic goody two-shoes who can talk them into joining up with the team. We probably won't do this for every terrain, but it's something we're giving actual consideration to to mix up a few matches. Thoughts, everyone? --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

| KanzarisKelshen 01/08/19 11:57:22 PM #54 | Kamekguy posted... I've always earnestly been of the belief that a good terrain is worth more than two or three decent battle mercs. You can pull off absolute bullshit unless you're not entirely outclassed. And even when you are, you can run around kiting Dragon Ryu against the absolute weakest of turrets and people will still buy it a little. by which he means 'match goes into overtime or damn close to it with a trillion votes' terrain's good y'all --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

Can breathe in space, beat a helicopter with a trillion missiles and a huge battle tank, beat totally-not-Audrey-2...there's a lot to pick from. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

| KanzarisKelshen 01/04/19 7:46:22 PM #27 | Billy and Jimmy Lee have challenged Kain Highwind to a fight! Location of the fight: The Void - A barren featureless landscape with no cover or anything to speak of. There is no obvious source of light, but visibility is clear and the terrain otherwise has similar gravity, atmosphere, etc to Earth. Teams start 100m from each other.. Which side will win? Guidelines - The fight will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence). Gameplay mechanics are less important than how the characters would function in a real-time environment. - The members of each team are ideal teammates capable of a pre-selected plan of battle. - "Broken" refers to a lot of things, including insta-death, auto-effects, a variety of status effects (e.g., Imp, Silence, Stop, *not* Poison), and revival. Unless stated otherwise, nobody has them, though do use your own discretion. - There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from. Rules for Voting - Bold your votes (using bold HTML tags). - You do not need to require justification for your vote, though the admins reserve the right to disqualify votes in the advent of obvious alt voting and other similar scenarios. - Leaders cannot vote for their own teams (and players from the same pool may not vote as well), but they are free to argue their case. - If you want to switch your votes simply bold the change; there's no need to delete your post, though you may if you wish. - This match will end in 24 hours. - The following conventions are in use for match topics: www.gamefaqs.com/boards/570224-mercs/75290480/878106427 Billy & Jimmy Lee are as they are seen in Double Dragon Neon, with the Balanced, Rage, Weapons Up, Desperation, and Absorb Mix Tape, and all Sosetsitsu with the exception of Song Snatch. They can high five at any time to split their total health pool evenly between them. ~VS~ Kain Highwind is as he appears in Final Fantasy IV. He has access to the Holy Lance and Wyvern Lance, as well as the Adamant Armor. He also has all of his moves from Dissidia NT, though that game's mechanics do not apply. He will be missing at the start of battle, but after thirty seconds, he will attempt to land his Jump attack on Billy and Jimmy Lee. The attack can be dodged, but he isn't visible until falling from the apex of his Jump after the thirty seconds are up. Only Kain's team knows he is missing and when he'll be back, but they do not know who his target is. --- How's this look everyone? --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

Tempting, but in theory Kain is supposed to be roughly equal to the Double Dragons, so I wanna see if he matches up to them alone speaking of, gonna do the writeup for the match soon, gimme a bit --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. |
