Topic: RPM Wrestling Returns!

[Strider Xhaiden]

Might wanna bring a lunch, this is gonna be a long one.

Really, all this is is just a list of every character I've made so far, their finishing move, critical type, and special skill. There's a whole boatload of other stats, too, but typing up full stat sheets for every character would have me here all day, and probably exceed the character limit on posts, too. I'll describe any finisher whose name doesn't indicate what it is.

Worth noting is that even if a character has a particular critical type (meaning moves fitting that category can critical), not every move CAN critical. Turns out the "Fork Attack" move CANNOT Critical under any circumstances, as an example. Critical odds are also affected by a character's offensive and defensive styles. It's a little complicated, but a Power-type character will have an easier time landing Power-type criticals than a Junior-type.

Also, here's a handy-dandy sheet explaining special skills. Every character gets one.

[Mr. Haxwell]

Can't believe this guy slipped my mind... but can I request him?:
[spoiler][/spoiler]

He'd make a perfect "DOD" character.

[Dr. Wily II]

Fork attack cannot crit!?
But... But... DEATH WITH A FORK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD D:

... The scythe attack can right? RIGHT!?

[Mr. Haxwell]

*pats the Doctor's shoulder, being careful not to irradiate him from his touch*

There, there. Just blame it on PB, for no forked Criticals. I hope the scythe can crit; since I'm expecting Morte to spam the hell out of that attack.

[Strider Xhaiden]

Morte and that....other dude? (I have no idea who he is, sorry.)
I might not be able to recreate Morte's attire perfectly, but I'll do what I can.

Also, I just checked, and the Scythe CANNOT Critical. Unfortunately.

I DID discover, however, that Doc's Fireball attack CAN Critical. So there's that.

EDIT: Bleh, did what I could. Hope they're OK.

Cu Chulainn
Finisher: Tower Hacker Bomb
Critical: Power
Skill: Do Or Die

Morte
Finisher: Scythe Attack
Critical: Suplex
Skill: Banish

Also, Momma Robotnik's Finisher is now the Lip Lock. Which is exactly what it sounds like.

[Dr. Wily II]

Scythe can't crit!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

... A-At least... Fireball...

[Mr. Haxwell]

Scythe can't crit!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

... A-At least... Fireball...

I'm just as disappointed as you, on that one, Doc. At least having Akumori knocking people out with a fireball would be fitting for a shiny flareon burning your face.

As for the other two; Cu looks kinda legit form what you've came up with. Just rename his nickname to "The Impure". Dunno why the FF team has to be FFVIII when Cu's from FFXII, but, whatever.

For Morte. I did a bit of digging into her real name being Sera Azraele. Morte can stay as her nickname though. As for her Crit-type; change it to striking, instead. Because, having a death-seraph poking you, would certainly induce death.

Oh, and speaking of Akumori; base him on this version that I took some time to make. Since I prefer his Normal look better than his Infernal one. And make him a crit-striking, monster type.

I'll do what I can with Akumori.

The only reason Cu was listed under FFVIII was because it was the only subgroup in the FF listing when I made him. I'll change that next time I boot the game.

EDIT: Here's Akumori. Hope you like!

Akumori
Finisher: Big Fire (Fireball)
Critical: Striking
Skill: Monster

And as a bonus:

SouGenmu Zero, Ruby Rose & Optimus Prime vs Usagi Toshi, Sera Azraele & Akumori

Highlights:
- Ruby Rose lands an amazing move (10:20-ish, it's just after Optimus tags her in)
- SGZ debuts his finisher (12:40-ish, it's the double-underhook move. You'll know it when you see it)
- Dissension in the ranks? (The Ending)

[Mr. Haxwell]

Akumori looks cool, bro. Will check up on that bonus later.

::Aftermath edit::
[spoiler]5:34 - Aku fails at a suplexing Optimus.
7:14 & 8:08 - Both girls suplexes the huge truck, effortlessly.

Damn miserable failures need to stop gambling on that 2.9 count; there was no excuse for Morte ditching Aku at that last moment.[/spoiler]

[Dr. Wily II]

[spoiler]Hehe, Ruby is a cute helicopter.

And I like that twist ending, haha. [/spoiler]

[Strider Xhaiden]

DrWilyII's faction gets another member, and Akumori and Co. recruit a powerful new ally in an attempt to redeem themselves.

Elimination Tag Match - DrWilyII, Aile, The Masked Marauder & A Bear vs. ????, Akumori, Sera Azraele & Usagi Toshi

On the "encouraging people to get involved" front, I think I *might* be able to use Skype to let people co-commentate live as I'm recording matches. Need to look into it some more first. Enjoy the Match!

[Dr. Wily II]

A BEAR!!

This should prove interesting...

[Mr. Haxwell]

[spoiler](8:36) Death giving Wily the slip.
(11:52) How does he even get up from that?
(13:43 - 13:54) Gets skinned alive, LITERALLY.
(15:05) Death giving Wily the slip again.
(18:33) Someone is so asking for an unmasking, once I get back with my painkillers.(19:44) C'mon now, destroy him... WHAT'RE WAITING FOR, DESTROY HIM!
(21:40) There's no way that just happened.
(22:25) There's just no way that just happened.
(23:12) Where is she getting all this energy from.
(23:25) No! I refuse to accept this! There's no way my whole team lost to some crippled "Paragon of Justice". I demand a rematch![/spoiler]

But before I leave; can I have an update on "my" current skills. Whatever I had for critical, keep it like that. And if a Gogoplata (eg. Undertaker's Hell's Gate) submission exists, make that my finisher; I'd like to call it, "n00b-Eating Pit". Oh and change my skill to Rage.

In case I forget them:

Katheron O'Nine (normal vers.)
Finisher: Double underhook facebuster
Critical: Power
Skill: Spirit

Karring Noraneko
Finisher: Striking Spear
Critical: Strike
Skill: Superstar

They'll be pretty much be teamed up often with Akumori and Toshi, with Kathy leading the team.

[Strider Xhaiden]

Upset over his team's loss, an irate MC Hazard challenges Aile to a 2-out-of-3 Falls contest.
The first fall will be a Landmine Deathmatch, the second a Barbed Wire Deathmatch, and if it necessary, the final fall will be a straight up shoot-fight.

Best of 3 Series - MC Hazard vs Aile

Meanwhile, Akumori's team asks for another attempt at redemption, knowing full well what will happen if they fail again.

Team Akumori vs Team SF

Funny thing, TENK. All I had to change per your requests was Hazard's finisher. I did my best with Kathy, but she's....eh, hopefully you like it.

MC Hazard
Finisher: n00b-Eating Pit (Hell's Gate/Gogoplata)
Critical: Power
Skill: Rage

Katheron O'Nine
Finisher: Double-Arm Facebuster
Critical: Power
Skill: Spirit

Karring Noraneko
Finisher: Spear
Critical: Striking
Skill: Superstar

Fun Fact: Kathy is currently the only character on the roster to have hit the stat-cap. She's actually missing 3 points in one of her defensive parameters as a result.

Wait what!?

Although, I may want dampen her stats; but before that, I think I want to see how she fairs first, before making that call.

Other than that her sprite looks fine the way it is. Good job on Karring, though.

Every created character has a stat-cap of 380. This includes offensive + defensive parameters, base stats (stamina, recovery rate, whether or not they can perform top-rope moves, etc. ) as well as their critical type and special skill.

For what it's worth, every character on the roster right now is stat-capped for both offensive and defensive parameters. Kathy's just the first one to have her other abilities take her to the 380/380 point.

[spoiler]DARNIT A BEAR DIED *sends PETA*[/spoiler]

Is it possible to make the Referee a wrestler? Becos...
[spoiler]REFEREE KAYU!! HE HAD A LAPSE IN JUDGEMENT IN THE FIRST MATCH BETWEEN AILE AND MC!!
Still... Aile lost 2 of 3 because she played fair... And did not pick up the weapons...

Then again, I will always remember her great feat of consecutively pinfall-ing 3 wrestlers, and winning the match for the team! [/spoiler]

Now, if you would excuse me...
[spoiler]*carries Aile's unconscious body out towards an ambulance outside*[/spoiler]

[Mr. Haxwell]

[spoiler=1st Match](3:22) Oh... is that how it's going to be, huh?
(4:50) Lets see how you like being mount punched. Yeah I thought so. [/spoiler]

[spoiler=2nd Match](3:35) I've had enough of your constant mounting. Time for a lesson.
(6:00) Tell the Doctor I'm done venting.[/spoiler]

That was satisfying. Glad I got that weight off my shoulder.

Now that I've taken a look at Kathy's match:
[spoiler](0:36) Dang! That escalated quickly. I thought for sure Ryu was done for.
(4:24) Woah, I'm seeing double.[/spoiler]

I think she's balanced enough, there were many cases where she could of lost the match, if it wasn't for team work.

[Strider Xhaiden]

Status Update: As a result of her matches with MC Hazard, Aile has been hospitalised. It is not clear when or if she will be able to return to active competition.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION UPDATE: As you might have noticed, I've been trying to get a mini-narrative of sorts running. Help flesh the universe out a little. If anybody wants to RP/Cut a Promo to set up a future match, please feel free. Audience participation and all. Similarly, if you've got ideas for feuds or matches, please share. Thanks for your time 


Here you go, Phi. Sorry it took so long 

Junpei & Akane vs. Sigma & Phi

I think she's balanced enough, there were many cases where she could of lost the match, if it wasn't for team work.

Yeah, that's what I'd hoped for. Having everyone at equal stats levels the playing field, I think. It's the differences in fighting styles, skills and logic and really determines these things now, not "My numbers are bigger than yours" like in the WWE games.

[Phi]

No problem, I'll watch it in a bit.

CRYING AT AILE'S HOSPITAL BED AT THE MOMENT

OOC: This is where I wish I could draw. Stuff like this would make for a good illustrated update.

[Blue Valkyrie]

Likely to late to ask but you still have Blue for this, she was in a match way back. 

[Strider Xhaiden]

Likely to late to ask but you still have Blue for this, she was in a match way back. 

Blue was in a different game, I think?

Doesn't matter. I'll get a contract sent to her first thing tomorrow morning. I've been burning the candle at both ends IRL for too long and I'm about ready to collapse right now.

TL;DR: She's top of the "To-Do" List.

[Blue Valkyrie]

Thank you, do you remember her design?
