Round 79
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:
Gimme reference
- pic from 8-bit Theater
Square Enix reels at the loss of two of their top hitters. Ramza is carried away by the others, an action which Gogo mimes in his defeat as well. Across the field, Reno is still admiring his pimped chocobo.
Reno: Let’s see what you can do... breathe fire!
Chocobo: Kweh?
Reno: Choco meteor?
Chocobo: Kweh?
Reno: Choco cure?
Chocobo: Kweh?
Reno: Geez! I thought this thing was tricked out now!
Kite: It is. It can now go anywhere it wants to.
Yuna: I bet it can’t go to the moon.
The chocobo starts shaking then blasts off into space with Reno still on board.
Yuna: That worked. Thanks Black Mage.
BM: No problem.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sephiroth is standing by as Tifa, Barret, and the other defeat a Jenova clone. The clone explodes and covers Sephiroth is goo. FF XII’s Penelo pops up from nowhere.
Penelo: Dirty mouth? Clean it up with Orbit gum!
Penelo hands a piece to Sephiroth. Sephiroth chews the gum and smiles. He has miraculously shiny teeth despite being covered in Jenova parts.
Penelo: Fresh breath, guaran...
Sephiroth grabs Penelo and holds his sword to her throat.
Sephitroth: Now, you are going to let me leave, nice and easy. Anyone chase me and the kid gets it.
Sephiroth slowly starts backing away.
Barret: @$^#&@!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Snake and Sam are standing against a blank screen. Sam is in a trench coat and wearing a fake mustache and sunglasses.
Snake: I’m a Mac.
Sam: And I’m no one.
Snake: PC, what are you doing?
Sam: Stop! Stop! Shh!
Snake:
Laughs. What?
Sam: Listen, friend. It is not really safe for me right now. The FBI is after me right now. Think I did bad things. Will hunt me down.
Gets out glasses and a mustache. in fact, take these.
Snake: No, no.
Sam: They’ll keep you safe.
Snake: PC, I’m good. I exist outside the system, so I don’t have to worry about trouble with the law. You take them.
Sam: Yeah. You’re right. I should have a backup anyway.
Snake: Yeah.
Sam:
Whispers. You never saw me!
Snake:
Winks. Never saw who?
Sam: Me. PC. D’oh!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Koopa is facing the camera. He has a large smile.
Narrator: Thompson’s Teeth! The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth!
Koopa pulls up a large spoonful of teeth, puts it in his mouth and crunches down, shattering the teeth he is eating.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kratos has been bandaged up after his Katt fight. Katt is calmly licking her arms clean after the brawl.
Katt: You were funner to fight than the giant chicken man.
Pit: Hey!
Chief: Quiet, Chicken-Boo.
Leon enters the room with a package.
Leon: Look what I found!
Meta Knight: I’ve seen one of those before. Snake is inside. Let me show you.
Meta Knight draws Master and leaps to strike the box. Leon pulls the box away before it is struck.
Leon: It is too light to have Snake inside.
Chief: Who is it from?
Leon: It says ‘From a secret admirer’. Doesn’t say who to though.
Meta Knight: Well, if it is from an admirer, then it is obviously not for Pit.
Pit: Hey!
Chief: Just open it. That could help figure out who it is for.
Samanosuke: A wise man does not interfere in the affairs of others.
Chief: Though a light shines in my house... there's nobody home.
Samanosuke: Obviously.
Leon has ignored the others and is opening the box. Everyone starts gathering around to peek inside. He opens the final flaps on top and everyone gasps!
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.

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.
<s>
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.</s>

Game Site:Overall, found here.Preview movies, found here.Round 79 Announcements:1:
Bracket A is Active! Bracket B is Inactive!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: I am thinking of giving out another Smash Emblem soon. Just as a little fun on my holiday.
5: I may start listing the characters’ using specials by descriptions of them too. Just because I had fun doing that at the end of the last game.
6: If you wonder why I use a lot more Red than Blue Bubbles, it is because they are easier on the characters at this point. It would be pretty stupid to have a Blue Bubble and it attack Squall or Shadow or Link and be wasted since they won’t have any specials for several more rounds!
7: Did anyone else see Galactica! Holy frak! Tigh is a Cylon! I knew last episode that everyone that heard the music was a Cylon. But whoa! And Starbuck! Starbuck has been to Earth! Holy! That show is and will always be one of the best. Ever. Period.
8: Thanks you to Christopher for a little editing he did. Also, thanks and :cry: to him for Gogo’s untimely demise.
9: Two gimme references in the pic and Round Recap. Would have been zero gimme and only one reference, but I couldn’t think of a pic to use.
10: Bye, bye Mewtwo.
11:
Bracket A is Active! Bracket B is Inactive!This Round's Weapons:1 Fire Flower: -1 damage to three characters
This Round's Dressphere - Square Enix use only!:None
This Round's Specials:1) Mr Jedi: Force Lightning: -3 damage to up to three characters and -3 damage to Katarn
2) #150: Shadow Ball: -5 damage to one character
3) None
4) None
SSA: None
This Round's Stage:None
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:

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):
