You'll experience the most exciting battle in history! Let's get ready to battle! Feel the intensity when power and technique collide! Crush the competition! A battle beyond your imagination! Let the martial arts madness begin! 2009 is the year we make contact! Keep rockin', baby!

HADOUKEN!

If you want to skip all of the long bull, scroll on down to the "Details" quote. Read the stuff in between if you like, though, I tried to keep everyone as informed as possible in them and I did take the time to type it all up, so I'd appreciate it if at least someone read them wink

Ever played a fighting game and said to yourself "If I could be in this game, I would kick so much a**?" Well, here's your chance to take out the competition. Suggested by our lovely Vice Captain RankonNairu, the next avatar arena challenge is characters designed to be in a fighting game.

If you're not a fan of fighters, or you don't play a lot of videogames, and you still want to participate, then you can find various resources all around the internet for common character designs, although I'd suggest just going with your own unique look since they vary depending on the theme of the game and the history of the characters.

Usually the characters will have an alignment of some sort that fleshes out the cheesy and often ignored plots (in favor of the real action, of course!), but we don't require you to choose good, bad, or neutral this time, it just worked a lot better for the superhero theme. With the plots so often ignored, the characters usually have different motives for winning the competition. We'd like you to base any motives that you give your character on the idea of earning several billion dollars for winning the competition, so think up a reason someone would want that much money (charity, domination, achieving a dream, picking themselves up in a collapsed economy, greed, etc.) and apply it to your stories!

Keep in mind that characters in fighting games usually differ in design. Games centered around martial arts will usually feature characters in light clothing so that, realistically, they can move around better, but characters featured in weapons fighters often have armor, capes, and tons of badass accessories. For the sake of simplification, our general theme here is "varied." We can say that everyone was brought into an alternate universe for the entertainment of the residents of that universe so that you aren't restrained to one style.

So, a rundown:

Details

Fighters from various time periods, styles of fighting, and backgrounds were brought together to fight in a competition for the sake of entertainment to an alternate universe's citizens. As a prize for winning the competition, the fighters are offered a healthy sum of money to do whatever they please with. There are no rules, they can use any weapons or abilities that they like, if any at all, and killing their opponents is fine, although not preferred.


Your required keywords are as follows:

You can use the remaining two keyword spots at your discretion.

Also, our week isn't decided yet, but because I like to be flexible for a larger participation group, I'm going to start a poll on these things with a three day limit on them to see when you'd like to do it. Please vote and give feedback! And don't forget to let us know if you'd like to participate, we like to have a general idea of what to expect for our archives wink

List has been updated heart

I don't know what to do for mine yet. I'm thinking probably this one, but with some alterations so that it's not so plain. Maybe add a companion or something.

Count me in ^_^
PostPosted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 9:48 pm


I think im gonna try too! Ive never tried anything like this so that's pretty exciting. Will there be reminders so we know what date(s) got picked?

All this is still kinda new to me so i will need all the info i can get to make sure im doing evrything according to the plan! lol. In other words, making the avatar is fine, fun, and no problem-basically an awesome challenge. But i might need a little advice when it comes to turning in my submission correctly. 4laugh

Anyway, count me in! This sounds like a fun idea and im looking forward to being a part of it.

Hey guys, you know that voting for Week 46 has effectively volunteered us to enter THIS WEEK, right? xd

mixtrix: Yeah, if you were a member of the guild during the Superhero group entry, you know that I sent out a TON of announcements about it through the week-and-a-half of planning. I'm going to try and keep those to a minimum this time, but there will be reminders about the submission, yes 3nodding
