Welcome to Gaia! ::

It could refer to how the flames didn't exist until half way into the third post, but that's just crazy talk, huh smartass?



It ain't like all of the magic/things related users in this tournament were brought together and asked to restrict that s**t. Trust me, I've got nothing against firearms and the like being included; it baffled me why they weren't allowed to begin with.



Seriously, you people just saw the image and the word "hydrogen" and started assuming all sorts of epic s**t, didn't ya? Next time you're going to whine over something, make sure to read it more carefully first. I've currently got three masses of hydrogen flame, each about the size of an average human adult roughly; would give an exact size but given their full shape is in flux, that'd be kinda hard to do.

It's actually not that much compared to certain people here or in the past who've summoned towers of flames - but because there was a lot of text to it and you saw the image of the Hindenburg, you immedietely thought "OMG NUKLEAR XPLOSION LOL!!!!," likely because you're an idiot.

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's because you let the scenery and the pre-face distort the actual facts of the attack; not a big deal, just something you need to give more thought from here out.



/gg sir.

Man, I hate you people. You're nowhere near as fun as Ertai to argue with. At least he could fake a god complex to spice it up a little.

Why am I being thrown around here like a dirty slut. gonk People keep assuming Murdoch has godly armor. But if anyone saw Fie and him fight, that just wasn't true, not to mention both contenders I have fought against in this tournament, are the ones stating that "stabbing" wouldn't work, and the like. I don't make these claims. xd All it says in my profile is that they can withstand large amounts of kinetic force.

I mean seriously. They're scales, upward stabs anyone?

And yes I just may have screwed myself with that one, but It will only make it all the more enjoyable when used against me.

Tch. I can't even test out new characters anymore without being ragged. crying

Imagination ftw.

Yes, Haelstrom, because you dragged it down in the first place.

My original argument started when reading Jak's and Desi's fights. Then I looked at many of the others and I just shook my head. Sure, my original statement was a bit harsh and uncalled for, but it's true to a certain degree - too many fighters in this tournament are just failures.

I have characters that have plenty of powers. The thing is, I balance them out with plenty of drawbacks, restrictions, weaknesses and the like. Yet, the majority of the fighters here are not only damn good at melee fighting, but they're able to do all sorts of crazy powers without any drawbacks at all.

Judges like Skysong have confirmed that most of your characters have no balance and fail at life - unfortunately, Vintrict graded most of them before he asked for her help, so she wasn't able to hammer down on anyone.

It also pisses me off that something like grenades aren't allowed, but you're able to create multiple large (albeit not Hindenburg-sized - partially my fault for not reading it fully, but partially yours for using the damn pic in the first place. It'd be like someone using a basic fireball and putting a pic of a DBZ ki blast explosion as the picture.) hydrogen explosions. Vintrict really has a ******** up sense of what's fair and what's not.

Oh, and Robo owns Frog, btw.

@ Dyne - Initially I was like "wut" with your character, but I did read the fight with Fierarch and your guy is fine. A bit too HUEG for my tastes in a tournament (my "HUEG GAI" is 6'6" and weighs 300'ish pounds and he smashes people just fine), but easily balanced compared to Infer's character.

True, I suppose I did instigate things a little bit on my own end. On the subject of drawbacks, LAST GTB, I had my "ultimate wtfpwn move" against a guy with powers you won't believe do a LOT of damage.. but in the process, not just wind me - it outright crippled my character. How I won that fight still stuns me to this day. I should've been so damned easy to take out after that, it'd been like clubbing a baby; but I agree, for every advantage, there should be some sort of appropriate disadvantage.

And hey, again - I couldn't think of a more famous incident involving Hydrogen Flames, so I wanted the idea to get across at one glance. I suppose I got more across than I bargained for though, so true enough.

.. But no. Masamune'd rape Robo in the face, it split a mountain. Robo's got a badass theme song and can pull off some awesome moves, sure - but Frog is superior to all. He's an outright beast.

People coming to agreeable terms?

On MY internet?

This is not acceptable.

For anything particularly "spectacular" in roleplays like these, I like to Photoshop up some images here and there. That was originally a rather famous gray scale photograph of the Hindenburg explosion I touched up. It's both to keep me from getting rusty in 'shop, and to kinda enhance the imagery on my posts from time to time.

I was half-debating showing an image of a lab experiment involving a tiny bit of hydrogen, but that wouldnt've gotten the raw destructive force across very well. Yet the Hindenburg may've been a little too extreme of an example, it's a b***h to get a medium. domokun

And the big problem with giga-uber attacks and characters, is that the more godly things they try to toss in, the more minor yet glaring flaws they usually open up accidentally. So I usually don't complain about an opponent being "over-powered" unless something implausible happens.

Take.. I hate to use him as an example, but Ertai. His character clashed the aftermath of dimensions exploding at his enemies, for Christ's sake. Yet when I'd read his matches, he'd do stupid s**t, like "my attacks don't work if they go faster than the speed of light!.. my attack just reached you faster than light could!" - nulling himself like every other post.

Epic strength characters does not victory make.

AND HERO, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K--YiJma6xI - submit.

I...

Wait, what?
