Round 73
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:
- Box from the future pic from Wiki
Link is talking with Roy during a lull in the fighting.
Link: What is going on out there? They are ganging up on you for no reason.
Roy: I know. I is completely pointless. It is not like my defeat will really accomplish anything.
Link: I hear that. It just seems kind of pointless when there are more obvious targets than you.
Roy: Maybe once I am defeated, they will realize that.
Roy sighs and joins Link as they head back into the fray.
-----------------------------------------------------------
A Japanese woman gets out a box of detergent while doing dishes. She blows a whistle. A super-deformed version of Sephiroth’s head comes out of the box.
Sephiroth: I am disrespectful of dirt! Can you see I am serious!
Sephiroth flies over the dishes, releasing a cleaner. The dishes are cleaned. He then flies over to the living room where he plays a baby’s xylophone. He appears underwater with three dancing women.
Sephiroth: Get out of my way, all of you! This is no place for loafers! Join me or die. Can you do any less?
Women: What a brave corporate logo! I accept the challenge of Mr Seph!
Woman: Awesome power!
Sephiroth flies over the women and releases a magic dust that changes the women to blue sumo as a monkey plays a drum in the corner. He then appears in a field where a person in interviewing a two-headed cow.
Reporter: Any plans for summer?
Sephiroth appears and the cows are shocked and shatter. Sephiroth then appears spiraling out of an orange background.
Sephiroth: For the best wash, use MIS-TER SEPH-I-ROTH!
Sephiroth then just smiles and blinks.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Snake and Sam are standing against a blank screen. Sam is in a hospital gown.
Snake: I’m a Mac.
Sam: And I’m a PC.
Snake: What is with the getup?
Sam: I’m going in for an upgrade today, but I’m a little nervous.
Snake: Why? Isn’t it really simple?
Sam: No really. I have to go in through some examinations, field testing, then a physical. At my age, the doctor gets out the rubber gloves...
Snake: Oh. That’s too bad. Hope all goes well.
Sam: Mac, if I don’t make it back, I want you to have my peripherals.
Snake: Oh, PC...
Sam turns and walks away. Snake watches for a second the looks away.
Snake: Speaking of peripherals.

[Billboard: The poster features Celes singing at the Jidoor. It has the caption: ‘Come to the Opera House! Now 90% Dragon free!’ ‘Payed for by the Jidoor Opera House’ is printed at the bottom.]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Samanosuke and Kratos are both still arm wrestling. Neither has moved the other a millimeter still.
Kratos: You have the strength of Hercules.
Samanosuke: Bishomon would be envious of your resolve.
The two keep working to get the other to tap. Everyone else is watching television.
Chief: I wanted to be a Mythbuster when I was a kid. That seemed to be the coolest job. But I joined the army instead and get to blow up whole armadas for a living. I think I made the right choice.
Leon: I wonder what is under the beret.
Pit: I heard it was a pot of gold, and if you could get him to remove it, he would give you the gold.
Leon and Pit look up as if they have an idea and run out of the room.
Meta Knight: Do you think they will realize that there isn’t gold under the hat?
Chief: Who cares? If they get on the show, that would be so cool.
Meta Knight: Agreed.
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

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 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

Game Site:Overall, found here.Preview movies, found here.Round 73 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: Okay... Here is the long and short of it. Cloud, Squall, Siegfried, Sol, H Ryu, and many others are on their last specials. Most of the specials left are their Big Bang, mass destruction, kaboom specials. Expect a lot of hurt to happen.
5: Looking above... Via con deus Roy. Also, one of you is going to be very nice to Square Enix :D (Aerith-chan arigato gozaimasu!)
6: Boo. I wanted Reddas to be more Samurai Jack. He came off like Green Lantern instead.
7: You know what movies I haven’t seen in a long time? The original Ninja Turtle series. I liked them.
8: I don’t want to alarm anyone... but Archades is Coruscant! Seriously.
9: Tomorrow... do you want a Stage or Master Hand? If no one expresses and opinion, I’ll flip a coin.
10: Mime Kasumi! I dare you! I double-dog dare you!

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:
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):
5 Octorok: 1/0 HP. +1 point when defeated. Deals -1 damage to one character each at the end of the round. They only appear for one round.
1 Bomb: 3/0 HP. +1 point when defeated. If attacked and not killed, deals -5 damage to the character that attacked it last. They appear for one round.
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!
