Round 97
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:
Another of Reno’s pics?!
- Cloud 1/2 pic from
Picture Shrines
The Armos Knights hop over and stomp Zelda, Chun-li, and Prince for -3 damage each. The Dark Armor raises its Energy Shield and heals for +4 HP while gaining immunity to weapons. Most of the women have stopped battling to look at Reno’s pictures and tease each other.
Rikku: Aw! Rydia is so cute in
this one!
Rydia: Ack! He followed me an Edge on our date!
Rikku: You’re so cute in that dress.
Beatrix:
Scowls at her picture. Ugh. How come no one ever told me that I look fat in a one-piece?
Paine: I think you look nice.
Holds up a picture. Look at this floozy though.
Kasumi: Hey!
Joanna is looking from a picture to Tifa and back.
Tifa: Something wrong?
Joanna: Nothing!
Quietly. Just wondering how you are able to stand with those things...
Tifa:
Turns beet red. What!
Aerith: In case of emergency, they can be used as floatation device!
Tifa: Hey!
Aerith giggles and runs off before Tifa can attack.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Cloud has Reno cornered. Reno has a mysterious wet mark on the front of his pants.
Reno: Please! Cloud, old buddy! You don’t want to do this!
Cloud’s fury causes flames to surround himself and his sword. Reno’s stain grows.
Reno: Please don’t kill me!
Cloud: You will pay for this offence!
Cloud holds up an embarrassing photo. Reno takes it an laughs.
Reno: That was a good one.
Cloud growls and advances more. Reno screams like a small girl.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sephiroth’s little war is in full swing. Stormtroopers and Space Pirates are handing the various humanoid creatures like Moblins, Stalfos, and Lizaflos. Minions like Keese and Peahats are fighting Metroids. A Wilhelm scream is heard in the background. Agahnim and Twinrova fire spells at Ridley while he circles around and breaths fire at them. Colonel Johnson is driving a Chupa-thingy with Doc/O’Malley manning the gun. They are chasing down the Helmaroc King.
Doc: I’m very sorry!
O’Malley: Hurry and die! I feel like chicken tonight!
Johnson: Chicken tonight?
O’Malley: Chicken tonight!
The Dark Troopers and Guard Armors are going hand-to-hand with the Darknuts and Iron Knuckles. A Guard Armor’s head is cut off, but it transforms into a cannon and blows away a Darknut before being destroyed. A Dark Trooper blasts an Iron Knuckle before getting its chest crushed by a ball and chain. Sephiroth slices down a Stalfos. Vaati incinerates a squad of Stormtrooper elites.
Sephiroth: Vaati! You’re army is weak! You are doomed!
Vaati: It is you who will fall!
Sephiroth and Vaati return to the combat and destroying the other’s army.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Montblanc and clan are exploring the halls. Sam’s and Snake’s codecs beep. They answer and receive a message.
Sam: Sorry dudes. Gotta go.
Snake: Duty calls. See ya.
Sam and Snake walk away.
Montblanc: Now we are a couple men down, kupo.
Kratos: We can handle anything thrown at us!
Pit: Bring it on!
The is an explosion down the hall, and a flame shoots from a doorway. A pair of Space Pirates fly out and fire back inside. A hail of arrow impale the Space Pirates to the wall. A squad of Moblins with bows step out.
Montblanc: No one lives forever, kupo!
Samanosuke: Sounds fun!
Leon: Still better than Raccoon City.
Chief: And I thought the Covenant smelt bad.
All of the heros arm their weapons and charge into combat.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Snake and Sam are standing in front of a blank screen.
Snake: I’m a Mac
Sam: And I’m a PC.
Snake: Hey PC, want to see the website and movies about my last op?
Sam:
Mocking. Oh look at me. I’m so creative and all of my of ops are successful.
Snake: PC...
Sam: Some things never change. Some things... never change...
Snake: What is that supposed to mean?
Sam looks away wistfully.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Young Sam and Chibi Snake are in front of a blank screen.
Chibi Snake: So, you want to see my surveillance photos, PC?
Young Sam: I have a better idea.
Gets out a calculator. How about I calculate how much time you just wasted?
Young Sam starts playing with the calculator.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Back in reality.
Snake: PC. Want to see?
Sam: Actually, I have a better idea.
Gets out a calculator. How about I calculate how much time you just wasted?
Sam starts playing with the calculator.
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>
