Round 74
SSBB = Super Smash Brothers Brawl
To all of those interested in joining, there are no sign ups. You can just start playing right off the bat. If you need additional help, I am here most of the time and more than willing to try to help as much as possible.
Story as of now:
Katt

Picture Shrines
The octoroks shoot rocks at Shadow, Lisha, Prince, Yuna, and Chrono, hitting each for -1 damage. Roy is escorted of the field, although he is partially under his own power.
Link: Don’t worry. We can still pull off a victory.
Roy: I can’t believe Kasumi did that. I thought they only used their Pokémon.
Link: No, you’re thinking Kasumi. That was Kasumi. She is on Ryu’s team.
Roy: She is on our team?!
Link lets Roy get carried away as he draws the Master Sword...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sephiroth is stopped on the street for an interview.
Interviewer: Sephiroth, what would you for a Klondike Bar?
Sephiroth:
Thinks. Hmmm...
Interviewer: Would you stand on your head?
Sephiroth shrugs and stand on his head.
Interviewer: Would you eat this penny?
Sephiroth takes and eats a penny that is handed to him.
Interviewer: Would you...
Sephiroth: Look, I’ll just save you the trouble and go to my max limit. Firaja!
Sephiroth points his hand, and a car explodes across the street.
Sephiroth: Can I have the ice cream now?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Snake and Sam are standing against a blank screen.
Snake: I’m a Mac.
Sam: And I’m a PC.
Snake: In the spirit of goodwill, we decided to put aside out differences.
Sam: To stop comparing ourselves, and just be ourselves.
Snake: To stop saying that one is better than the other.
Sam: To understand that one does important work, while the other wastes time with frivolous pursuits like killer video games and an awesome cameo in SSBB.
Snake: PC, what about putting aside our differences, and...
Sam: Sorry, it just slipped out. System error.
Snake: You know what? Let’s stop all the infighting.
Holds his arms wide. Pull it into hug harbor.
Sam goes over and hugs Snake.

[Billboard: The poster shows Joanna Dark hugging a small grey alien. It has the caption: ‘A Maian is a terrible thing to waste.’ The Carrington Institute’s logo is at the bottom.]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Samanosuke and Kratos are still trying to get their opponent to budge with no luck.
Samanosuke: It would be more honorable if you quit, now!
Kratos: A million Persians at Thermopylae couldn’t stop me.
Meta Knight: Are you two still fighting?
Samanosuke and Kratos just grunt and groan back.
Meta Knight:
Points to his left. Bathroom, over there.
Chief: Dude! Come quick!
Meta Knight goes over to the TV to see what Chief is yelling about. If his face could be seen, his jab would be dropped.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Leon and Pit are standing next to each other. Leon is wearing a saucy beret.
Leon: I’m Leon.
Pit: And I’m Pit.
Both: We’re the Mythbusters!
Leon and Pit pose dramatically.
Pit: Today, we are going to test the myth that cats obey the laws of thermodynamics.
Leon: How are you going to do that?
Pit: Well, we’re going to get a cat and put it through a series of tests to determine whether or not the laws of thermodynamics are upheld.
Leon: Why do you keep using the word ‘we’?
Pit: For this experiment, I have enlisted the aide of a local cat.
Pit rolls out a cage that has a sleeping Katt from Breath of Fire II inside.
Leon: Uh... I know her. Bad idea.
Leon starts backing away.
Pit: You can see that because a cat sleeps all day, it consumes the minimum of energy and causes the minimum of entropy, but when awakened, they still require the minimum of energy to cause the maximum of entropy, thus breaking the Second Law. Observe.
Pit gets out a wind-up mouse and sets it loose. He then slowly opens the cage, waking Katt. Katt wakes and looks around. She sees the ‘mouse’ spinning around the floor.
Katt: Giant-bird-that-isn’t-Nina!
Katt immediately pounces on Pit and starts ripping at him.
Pit: Help! Leon!
Leon: Myth...
Pit: Is that my lower intestine! It is eating my lower intestine!
Leon: And Pit...
Pit: Why won’t it just let me die!
Leon: Are busted.
Pit: For the love of all things holy, just put me out of my misery.
0500/1700 Rule: Regardless of when the last update occurred, you may make actions
after 5AM/PM your time zone. There is no need to wait for an update to make an action, but it is recommended. Any actions that break this rule will not count as a legal action and will be promptly (eventually) pointed out. If you miss one of the posting periods, you will not get an extra move. I will allow posts +5 minutes in so you don’t have to rush your action.
Preferred Attack format: ‘
[Character A] attacks
[Character B] for
-X damage’ [Do not forget the
underline,
red, and
bold.]

Code:
[u][Character A][/u] attacks [color=red][NPC][/color] for [b]-(X) damage[/b] and [color=red][Character B][/color] for [b]-(3-X) damage[/b]
Simple Attack format: ‘

Example split attack: ‘
Chrono attacks a goomba for -1 and Ryu for -2Example weapon use: ‘

Example heal: ‘

Specials follow the same format where appropriate.
Specials and weapons should be used before regular attacks can be used.
Special users can defeat one 1 or 2 HP NPC of their choice in addition to their special use (meaning without targeting the NPC with the special).
Super Smash Attacks (SSA): SSA actions are powerful, character-specific moves with special effects. They can only be activated two ways and usually involve the character being removed from the game (see below) for a short time. The SSA use counter does not reset until all characters have used their SSA. To activate: either use a Smash Emblem or buy it with some points. Characters that still have an available SSA are marked with the Yen symbol (¥)
Removed from the Game (RFG): Unlike in Magic: The Gathering, this is not a permanent effect. Characters removed from the game cannot attack or heal but cannot be targeted. They return to play after a set amount of rounds. At least three characters will remain in play at all times.
Special Character - Gogo: Due to Gogo’s unique nature, I will post his information every round. If there are any questions, PM me, and I will willingly help.
Gogo cannot attack or heal. He is active every round. He has only one special which he uses every round.
Special: Mime: *Gogo copies the last action done (the post above this use). *Gogo’s user may choose new targets. *If a special was used, Gogo receives -3 damage in addition to the special’s effects. *Cannot mime SSAs or actions in the GM’s posts. *Cannot be the first action of the round. *If Gogo is not used, he automatically heals for +1 HP each round, but he starts with 30 HP at the beginning of the game. *He counts as male for gender related contests.
Sample use:
Code:
[b]Gogo mimes [Last Character Used] and [Copies the last action as player sees fit][/b]
Starting/Maximum HP = 50 Factions: (** = Active Ability)
Castlevania: +30 - Vampire Slayer - Characters can automatically defeat two NPCs with 1, 2, or 3 HP or defeat one 4 or 5 HP NPC in addition any other actions this round
Deep Space 9ers: +50 - Reflective Shields - All attacks directed at the members are reflected back to the attackers. Members can still attack
Dream Land: +20 - Skill Copy - Members may use any special belonging to any [Faction] member. (Check character guide or with the GM for specials)
Hyrule: +90 points - Magic Sack - Members may use any weapon unlimited times (weapon changes user after each use unless user can do unlimited attacks) (Check item guide or with the GM for items)
Independent: +0 - None (duh, they have no team)
Defeated - Kongo Jungle: +20 - Monkey Friends - When a member is attacked, the attacker receives a -1 damage counterattack for every -2 damage dealt to member (counterattack is rounded down)
Mushroom Kingdom: +40 - Mega Mushroom - All members deal double damage for the rest of the round, but cannot use weapons. Negative side effects are doubled for members
Pokémon: +50 - Pokeball - A random, unused Pokeball is activated. Members are immune to the effects

Sonic: +60 - Hyper Sonic Speed - Members cannot be attacked for the rest of the round. Members may still attack.
Square Enix: +160 points - Job Change - Members may use any Dressphere that is currently not being used (Check Dressphere guide or with the GM for Dresspheres). Counts as a weapon action

Game Site:Overall, found here.Preview movies, found here.Round 74 Announcements:1:
Both Brackets are Active!2: I hope you are liking the commercial parodies. They are really fun to write. If you have suggestions, feel free to PM me.
3: The new, month-long ‘mini’-game is essentially done being written. I have posted its information at the bottom of the page. It is just something big to occupy time since I have Spring Break coming up soon and will have to drop the quality/detail of the plots.
4: Try saying Sieg’s special ten times fast!
5: Chris, if I am pronouncing the aliens’ name wrong, then I am sorry. The joke is funnier my way.
6: Are you keeping track of the references? At this point in time, you only need a quarter of them (by my count) to get the minimum!
7: Roxas... if you don’t get jumped for that bad Rikku/Dee-Dee joke, you earned +2 points for it.
8: One little note on the prizes: I changed the Phoenix Down a little. Characters brought back that way are Independent. That way, a defeated Faction can’t be resurrected and defeated again for many more points.
9: With Kratos and Samanosuke being added next game, I was going to create their own faction with them and Hayabusa Ryu. If you think any of the current Characters belong in a survival-horror/massive-gore centered team, PM me. And no, all Castlevania characters stay in their Faction and only Castlevania characters are allowed in.
10: Katt is supposed to be pantsless, so this is not H!
11:
Both Brackets are Active!12: Edit since I just saw something I think I should share:
Important Request: To those of you with time and iTunes, I urge you to download and watch
Richard Engel’s War Zone Diary from MSNBC. It is insanely powerful. Whether you support the war or not, whether your country is in the war or not, whether you have heard of the war or not, you should try to see this special. If you are squeamish of gore, then some of the images may be upsetting. I apologize to the troops and their comments at the end, but I don’t support how the conflict is being run. I do think that the troops, reporters and civilians that are in Iraq are beyond the bravest people in the world and deserve our respect. This special reaffirms their bravery and sacrifice even if you never thought that before.
This Round's Weapons:1 Super Scope: -1 damage to distributed any way to up to four characters
This Round's Dressphere - Square Enix use only!:None
This Round's Specials:Gogo - Mime: See above
1) X: VWS: Automatic. X uses Roy’s Fire Blade: Choose one: -5 damage to one character, or -7 damage to one character and -2 damage to X
2) Auron: Tornado: -3 damage to three characters and Auron
3) Link: Spin Attack: -3 damage to two characters
4) Siegfried: Glowing Zweihander Smash: -10 damage to one character. Target cannot attack or heal for the rest of the round. Can target special users. Siegfried cannot attack or heal for the next two next rounds
SSA: None
This Round's Stage:Ivalice: Red Card! Three characters that attack this round are arrested and cannot attack or be attacked in next round they appear. After the arrested characters are freed, they only deal -2 damage and can not use weapons until the next round.
This Round's Mini-game: Referral ServicesOnce again, I ask to count the number of references that have been made. But wait! It isn’t just for today! It is for the whole month of March! This shouldn’t be too hard since I have made many references a day for a long time. The dates you want to search from are March 1st to March 31st. The ‘mini-game’ will be active while March is still ending, but that is by design. Collaboration is fine, but there will be no prize splitting.
Entries by non-players are accepted. Prizes for those entries are added to the general pool for later redistribution. PM all questions. If they require clarification overall, then I will announce them.
What to Look For:1) Subtle references. The commercials and direct quotes are some of the few direct references that will be counted. The Characters, the Stages, the Items, the NPCs, etc are not counted. References to their games are only counted in plots or announcements. If in doubt, put it in, but find another just in case it is not counted.
2) Only look in Plots and Announcements. Everything else is virtually the same information every single time. Added to this ‘hint,’ only look in posts that I have made that contain plot or announcements. That means you have ignore Christopher’s wonderful FLCL reference and link (Love that song!) as well as any other references in players’ posts or my corrections. (No staff-chucks :()
3) Double references. Big hint on what I mean by that: Mr Kennedy’s NBC-style PSA with the Resident Evil twist. Or Snake, Sam, and Raiden’s commercial. They are a little subtler, but worth two references on the final tally.
4) Multiple references from the same source count as one large reference. Just mentioning that since I found one like that on Day 1.
5) Anything else? This space will be used for clarification if needed.
Entry Dates: Midnight April 1 (by your time zone) - Midnight April 5 (by my time zone/NST).
Winners posted: April 7 Update(Times chosen as to give players more than enough time to send in an entry)
Entry Format:
Code:
Day #:
Reference - Source - Approximate location of reference in the post.
Next reference
Day #+1: etc
Prizes:
1st - +100 Points and ???
2nd - +50 Points and ???
All entries that are a minimum of 25 references long get +10 Points automatically. The entry with the most, accurate references wins. The list of references that I have found will be posted at the end of the mini-game.
This Round's NPC(s):
4 Spiny: 1/0 HP. +2 points when defeated. Deals -1 damage to one character each at the end of the round. They only appear for one round. Immune to regular attacks
1 Lakitu: 3 HP. +3 points. Does not attack. All Spinies in play are instantly defeated when Lakitu is defeated. No points for their defeat are awarded. They only appear for one round.
This Round's Faction Ability:
None
Quick but important poll!

hehe, at least I don't need any more points for now.
