Round 82

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:
Everyone Loves Auron
- pic from, you guessed it, Picture Shrines

Master Hand gives the Finger (Shot) to Purin, Siegfried, and X for -2 damage each. Auron catches the Smash Emblem. He gains and unearthly aura. Countless pyreflies come out of the ground and infuse the warrior.
Yuna: So... Do you feel more powerful?
Auron: Power is fleeting.
Rikku: Do you feel like smashing things into oblivion?
Auron: Violence is unnecessary.
Paine: Well, what are you feeling?
Auron looks from woman to woman.
Auron: Holds up an Almond Joy. I feel like a nut.
Auron walks away, leaving the stunned women. He has a small trail of pyreflies chase after him.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sephiroth is sitting in a classroom.
Quistis: Good morning, class. I trust you've all prepared for today's final exam.
Sephiroth: Uh, excuse me, I missed a few lectures. What subject is this?
Quistis: Ancient Egyptian Algebra.
Sephiroth: Gasps. What a nightmare!
Quistis: Mr Seph! Are those your underpants?
The shot pulls back to reveal Sephiroth in his underwear. Sephiroth screams.
Quistis: You need a lesson in Lightspeed-brand briefs.
Quistis hold up a box of underwear.
Narrator: Lightspeed fits today's active life style...
Cut to Sephiroth at a board meeting giving a presentation.
Narrator: Whether you're on the job...
Cut to Sephiroth in a bedroom giving a presentation to underwearing Penelo.
Narrator: Or having fun.
A box of underwear appears against a flashy background.
Narrator: Lightspeed Briefs - style and comfort for the discriminating crotch.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Snake and Sam are standing against a blank screen. Sam looks dazed and is sniffing.
Snake: I’m a Mac.
Sam: And I’m a PC.
Sam sneezes three times.
Snake: Gesundheit. You okay? Hands Sam a tissue.
Sam: No. I’m not okay. I have that new bio-agent the enemies are using.
Sam blows his nose.
Snake: Oh yeah...
Sam: You better stay back. This one is a doozy.
Snake: That is okay. I’ll be fine.
Sam: No, no! Do not be a hero. Last year, there were a dozen new bio-agents used against uninoculated spies like us.
Snake: Uninoculated spies... but Philanthropy inoculates us... So you just gotta...
Snake takes the tissue and helps wipe Sam’s nose.
Sam: I, I think I gotta crash.
Snake: Hey. If you think that will help...
Sam falls over, straight back.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Montblanc is pacing the green room. Everyone within is doing pushups.
Pit: How did we get recruited?
Meta Knight: I didn’t sign anything!
Leon: The mouse just started taking over.
Chief: I’d rather be facing the Flood than go back to basic again.
Leon: Scary thought. The Flood plus the T-Virus.
Pit: Terrifying. Never heard of either.
Montblanc: Kupo!
Montblanc hops on Pit’s back and starts walking around.
Montblanc: Quit your jibber-jabbing, kupo. That doesn’t go to the rest of you.
Meta Knight: If he hates Pit too, he can’t be all bad.
Montblanc sits on Pit’s back and rests his feet on his head.
Katt: I say we jump him and eat him.
Kratos: Do you think of anything other than what goes in your stomach?
Katt: Hey, you want to take me on again?
Kratos: No ma’am.
Samanosuke: The way of the warrior requires training and patience.
Kratos: What the hell does that mean?
Montblanc: Shut your yap and you’ll eventually be rewarded, kupo!
Katt: Makes sense to me.

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.]
Example attack: ‘ Sonic attacks Link for -3 damage’
Example split attack: ‘ Chrono attacks a goomba for -1 damage and Ryu for -2 damage
Example weapon use: ‘ Zelda uses a Warp Star to deal -3 damage to Mr Game & Watch and Mewtwo.’



Simple Attack format: ‘[Character A] attacks [Character B] for -X damage’ [Do not forget the bold.]
Example attack: ‘ Sonic attacks Link for-3 damage’
Example split attack: ‘ Chrono attacks a goomba for -1 and Ryu for -2
Example weapon use: ‘ Zelda uses a Warp Star to deal -3 damage to Mr Game & Watch and Mewtwo’



Preferred Heal format: ‘[Character] heals for +2 HP [Do not forget the green and bold.]
Example heal: ‘ Kirby heals for +2 HP’


Simple Heal format: ‘[Character] heals for +2 HP [Do not forget the bold.]
Example heal: ‘ Kirby heals for +2 HP’


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>

Starting/Maximum HP = 50

Round 82 Announcements:
1: Bracket B is Active! Bracket A 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: Just a couple more days before you can make your reference list submissions :D By now, you probably only need 20% or less for the minimum requirements.
5: I really hope you don’t think I don’t like the Splinter Cell games. Bob and Steve are hilarious! But Snake is a far better spy than Sam.
6: As you may notice, Auron’s SSA will be posted everyday until it is used. That doesn’t mean other SSAs cannot be used, hence the extra little listing for more SSAs. It would be quite unfair for Auron to stay alive the whole rest of the game and monopolize the best actions in the game.
7: I have been drinking a lot of tea since I returned to Sacto. That is definitely one of the perks of having easy access to a kitchen. (Microwaved tea and cocoa is never as good).
8: Took long enough, but I am finally going to get Japanese food tonight. So hard to get that in SLO too.
9: Heck. In a couple months, all I’ll be eating is Japanese food when I head over there in late June/early July :D
10: Bracket B is Active! Bracket A is Inactive!

This Round's Weapons:
1 Sword-chucks: -4 damage to two characters and -2 damage to user. +2 points if you include: ‘Sword-chucks. Yo.’ in the post.

This Round's Dressphere - Square Enix use only!:
None

This Round's Specials:
1) The Al Bhed: Machina Maw: -5 damage to one character. Rikku is automatically immune to regular attacks.
2) Zelda’s alter-ego: Vanish: Automatic. Sheik cannot attack, heal or be attacked this round
3) None
4) None
SSA: Auron: Unsent: Stays active until used. When Auron reaches 0 or less HP, he does not die, but he is returned with 30 HP, but cannot heal or use weapons for the rest of the game. Auron cannot attack or heal for the next three rounds after use
SSA: None

This Round's Stage:
None - Master Hand Locked.

This Round's Mini-game:
Referral Services
Once 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:


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):
Master Hand: Random appearance, once. 25 HP. Attacks: Finger Laser: -1 damage to four characters. Finger Shot: -2 damage to three characters. Fist Attack: -7 damage to one character, -2 damage to self. Catch: -5 damage to one character. Target cannot attack or heal for the rest of the round. Locks the Stage.

This Round's Faction Ability:
None

Quick but important poll!
If you want to be polled (no need to enter), please post what time zone you are in, based on GMT. I am in PST which is GMT -8. This way I can keep track of double posts better. Thank you!

- Rikku and Paine pic from Mini-Tokyo

Master Hand gives Shadow, Zelda, Ryu, and Mr Game & Watch some (Finger) Eye surgery for -1 damage each. Paine comes over from the sidelines where she has just beat up a person.
Rikku: Why did you beat up a fan?
Paine: He call me a man. Can you believe it!
Rikku: Maybe if you dressed as a Lady Luck more, like I do!
Paine: Okay. -10 respect points.

It is a nice family dinner. Daddy Cid [FF VII], mommy Ceres, and kids Rydia and Zell are all sitting around the dinner table.
Fran: Have you picked out who is in your calling plan?
Rydia: Yeah. I picked: Yuffie, Eiko, Krile, and Fran.
Zell: That’s funny. I also chose: Yuffie, Eiko, Krile, and Fran.
Rydia: What?!
Zell: Your friends are hot!
Rydia: Aren’t you going to do anything?
Cid: Maybe you should get uglier friends.
Rydia’s jaw drops.

Snake and Sam are standing against a blank screen. Snake is holding a magazine.
Snake: I’m a Mac.
Sam: And I’m a PC.
Snake starts reading.
Sam: What are you reading?
Snake: Just Electronic Gaming Monthly. It is nothing.
Sam snatches the magazine.
Snake: Oh! No, no, no! PC, you know what...
Sam: Oh. It is a review of you.
Snake: D, d, don’t read it.
Sam: Oh. It is from Adam Sessler. One of the most respected game reviewers in the country. Apparently, you are one of the greatest video game characters ever. Very nice.
Snake: It is just one man’s opinion.
Sam: I actually got a great review this morning too. And they said I was awesome. And we’re the same.
Snake: Yeah. Well, what was that in?
Sam: The, um, awesome, Awesome Character Review... Weekly.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sephiroth is sitting in a rocking chair, knitting.
Sephiroth: Oh. Hello dearies. When my Dark Troopers start squeaking like a screen door, I use a can of Shinra’s Old Fashioned Motor Oil. It contains ten percent more love than the next leading brand.
Sephiroth holds up a can of oil and smiles.
Narrator: Quickly. Sephiroth, love, and screen door. One of these things is not like the other. One of these things doesn’t belong.
Sephiroth’s smile becomes creepier and scarier.

Once 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:


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):
Master Hand: Random appearance, once. 25 HP. Attacks: Finger Laser: -1 damage to four characters. Finger Shot: -2 damage to three characters. Fist Attack: -7 damage to one character, -2 damage to self. Catch: -5 damage to one character. Target cannot attack or heal for the rest of the round. Locks the Stage.

This Round's Faction Ability:
None

Quick but important poll!
If you want to be polled (no need to enter), please post what time zone you are in, based on GMT. I am in PST which is GMT -8. This way I can keep track of double posts better. Thank you!

Pichu angrily shouts, "I'm the semi-orignial rat, not you!", and he shocks Plusle and Minun for -7 damage, taking -2 damage.

Now that's weird.

Ryu: SHORYUKEN! -7 damage to Master Hand, -2 to Ryu

Guy on sideline: He did all that by just yelling?

5pm Edit: Yuna hits Master Hand for -3 damage

5am edit Rikku hits Master Hand for -3 damage

Round 84

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:
They were in a game too!?
- Guess who pic from Picture Shrines once more.

Ness kicks a Red Shell at Zelda for -1 damage to many. Reno rides his chocobo around the arena.
Reno: I should take him to GS. I have a feeling he might like it there. Don’t know why. Rides over to Yuna. Want to get dinner at GS later?
Yuna: Duck soup!
Reno: Duck what?
Yuna: Getting that after the round. So buzz off!
Reno: But I found a singer to serenade you.
Purin jumps up and starts singing. Her song puts everyone to sleep instantly.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sephiroth is stalking Aerith and the rest of the FF VII party in the Bone Village. He almost has a chance to strike, but they walk away. He gets discouraged, but then gets an idea and pops a mint. Snappy music starts playing. Sephiroth starts running through Bone Village. He goes up a large staircase and finds a vantage point over a pool of water. Aerith comes in and starts praying. Sephiroth takes aim and jumps. He falls straight into the water. Aerith looks and laughs. Sephiroth pops out of water, grins sheepishly, shrugs and hold up the mints..
Narrator: Mentos. The fresh-maker.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Imperial colonel, Ridley, and Doc/O’Malley have just watched Sephiroth’s commercial.
Colonel: That commercial was completely uneffective.
Ridley: It doesn’t make me want a Mento at all.
O’Malley: Gets up. Zombie-like. Must kill President Lincoln.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Snake and Sam are sitting in boxes against a blank screen. Sam is doing some stretches.
Snake: I’m a Mac.
Sam: And I’m a PC.
Snake: Ready to get started?
Snake starts jumping out of the box.
Sam: Well, not quite. Got a lot to do. What is your big plan?
Snake: I might save New York or blow up some Metal Gears. Try out my octocamo. I can do it all right away since I’m a clone.
Sam: Well, first I have to go through basic, then specialist school.
Snake: Sweet.
Sam: And I have a lot of NSA special ops training to do.
Snake: You know. It sounds like you have a lot of stuff to do before you so any stuff. I’m just going to get started since I’m kinda excited. Leaps out of the box. Let me know when you are ready!
Sam: Actually, the rest of my gear is in other boxes...
Snake comes back and crawls into the box again.
Snake: Actually, I like it in here. It is cozy.
Snake in a box slinks away again.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Satoshi is sitting around doing a crossword puzzle.
Satoshi: ‘Ten to the negative twelfth power’?
Pikachu: Pika!
Satoshi: Thanks. ‘Number one’?
Pichu: Pi!
Satoshi: Ah! Right. ‘Setting on a blender times two’?
Purin: Puri-puri!
Satoshi fills the answers into his crossword.
Narrator: Pokémon Crossword Services. When you gotta catch all the answers.

Montblanc is still putting the ‘clan’ through their paces. He is walking back and forth in front of the ‘troops’. He stops in front of Leon.
Montblanc: What is your major malfunction, kupo!
Leon: Well... I like vanilla over chocolate, my favorite color is peridot, I think Tibet should be free, and if I could have dinner with anyone in the world, it'd be Mary Steenburgen.
Montblanc: Mary Steenburgen, kupo?
Montblanc moves on to Meta Knight.
Montblanc: Pyle, kupo!
Meta Knight: Shazzam!
Montblanc: Pyle, kupo!
Meta Knight: Shazzam!
Montblanc: Pyle, kupo!
Meta Knight: Shazzam!
Montblanc: Heh, heh. Shazzam, kupo.
Montblanc moves on to Samanosuke.
Montblanc: Private Samanosuke may well be the finest recruit I've seen in all my years of service. That young man fills me with hope. And some other emotions that are weird and deeply confusing, kupo.
Samanosuke: Yee!
Montblanc moves on to Kratos.
Montblanc: How do you sleep at night, kupo?
Kratos: On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful women.
Montblanc: Yesh! Just asking, kupo.
Montblanc moves on to Katt next.
Montblanc: Now, you might face some prejudices, so I’ll test how you react to certain jeers.
Katt: Okay.
Montblanc: Dirty cat.
Katt: Jerk.
Montblanc: Fang-less tiger.
Katt: Mouse.
Montblanc: Claw-less lion.
Katt: Tasty mouse.
Montblanc: [Derogatory term also meaning cat]
Katt: Dead mouse!
Montblanc: You’re hired.
Montblanc moves to Pit last.
Montblanc: Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun, or exciting, you make it... not that way. I hate... so much about the things that you choose to be.
Montblanc walks away from Pit.
Pit: So am I in?

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.]
Example attack: ‘ Sonic attacks Link for -3 damage’
Example split attack: ‘ Chrono attacks a goomba for -1 damage and Ryu for -2 damage
Example weapon use: ‘ Zelda uses a Warp Star to deal -3 damage to Mr Game & Watch and Mewtwo.’



Simple Attack format: ‘[Character A] attacks [Character B] for -X damage’ [Do not forget the bold.]
Example attack: ‘ Sonic attacks Link for-3 damage’
Example split attack: ‘ Chrono attacks a goomba for -1 and Ryu for -2
Example weapon use: ‘ Zelda uses a Warp Star to deal -3 damage to Mr Game & Watch and Mewtwo’



Preferred Heal format: ‘[Character] heals for +2 HP [Do not forget the green and bold.]
Example heal: ‘ Kirby heals for +2 HP’


Simple Heal format: ‘[Character] heals for +2 HP [Do not forget the bold.]
Example heal: ‘ Kirby heals for +2 HP’


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>

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

2: Both Brackets are Active!
3: I hope you are liking the commercial parodies. They are really fun to write. If you have suggestions, feel free to PM me.
4: The new, month-long ‘mini’-game is essentially done being written. I have posted its information at the bottom of the page. Since some irksome developments have happened, I am modifying things a little. All entries will be in tonight and tomorrow and winners will be announced when the boards are back to normal. I will change all of that below.
5: I am canceling tomorrow’s update. (Oh really!) Since today will be the last round for a while, please go all out. I’ll give you a few extra toys to help out. All of the data for the game will be saved in the mean time so we can pick up where we left off with ease. (If your username has to be changed, just contact me when we restart).
6: Dirty Jobs are everywhere. Just take a look around. Down the street. Up the stairs. And even under ground. You do not need to borrow, beg. You do not need to rob. All you have to do? Is get a Dirty Job.
7: This is a tough one. RPGs would be your best source. Few good hints: Orthros, Dr Sloth, Brother, Reno, etc.
8: This makes me more than a little irked since I was planning a huge April Fools update to tease all of you.
9: You really don’t know how much I wanted to use Cloud’s SSA :P

Quick but important poll!
If you want to be polled (no need to enter), please post what time zone you are in, based on GMT. I am in PST which is GMT -8. This way I can keep track of double posts better. Thank you!

Request's Info:
1: No characters from games based on TV shows or movies. Characters from TV shows or movies based on video games are fine. Characters based on their sprite comic forms must originally be from a video game.
2: It must be easy to find a lot of information on the game and characters. If not, please provide a site.
3: Preferably characters with lots of moves that I can widdle down to only four (not a major requirement [since I faked it for Sonic and Wario], but still important).
4: No characters from FPS games, unless they have special skills besides their guns. Note: Snake and Joanna will be the only allowed FPS characters at this time.
5: MMO and RTS games are iffy unless you are quite specific of what you want.
6: If you want an esoteric character, please provide a website (in English preferably) where #2 can be found.
7: RPG and fighting game characters are liked since they meet a lot of these criteria
8: There are some limits to the number of characters from certain games. I will try not to have too many from a specific game or universe of games.
9: You must provide links if suggesting anything other than characters.
10: All completed suggestions will be added to the next game.
11: Once my designing of a request is done, I will contact you to give the final word. Hey. It is your request, you should have some say.
12: Please send as many requests as you want. I will need something to do while on ‘vacation’.
13: Wario, Zero Suit Samus, Snake from MGS, Pit from Kid Icarus, and Meta Knight are in Super Smash Bros Brawl on the Wii. I will add them to the cast, and fix Wario’s specials, as soon as more information about them, and all the other new characters, are released into my general knowledge.
14: One last note, I reserve the right to reject requests at whim. I will give you a reason why I reject the request.

In any case, I usually leave PPT for April 2nd (since it's April 1st in Americaland).

I ain't dense youngen. I was just using the first and easiest reference I could find for a game based on a show. Used this since I knew where I could find pic for it in a snap. Plus, I'm not going to subject any of your impressionable young, and fragile minds to the scenes you are imagining. (Feel free to send those scenes my way once you're done )

PS: If the upgrade is a prank, then I will be cutting back everything for the next couple rounds.
