Well character design and balance should be a good place to start. This is a good board to hash out an idea. Read my primers on basic fighting, then read at least the first T1 rules set in my signiture. But ultimately it is about common sense and comprimise

Could do unranked if you want, depends if you have a character with a similar theme to one of mine though. If I'm gunna do unranked, I like it to make at least some sense story wise, so it can be useful at a later date.

I think I also want an exhibition against John Cena.

Sounds good to me. I'll use...



Since the only matches this month are unranked ones, this is a nice time to have a match for pure fun rather than competition.

I'm not really interested in a fantastical fight just for fun, so I'll give it a miss.

@MelonHeadNo worries then, I can fight seriously when the tournament comes around. I just prefer to have fun in unranked matches.

That's not really the issue, the issue is I have no characters that would realistically be engaging a comical character like that.

I also have something of a personal policy not to fight overt parody characters.

Not all characters than can fight need to be serious. Mine may stray into silliness, but that doesn't mean they aren't legit. Realistically, it takes all kinds.

The Champ literally did the You Can't See Me to me.

I take that as a compliment, however strange that may be.

Rhyming though. >.>

Wrestling terminology means next to nothing to me, I'm English.

I'm looking back now and guessing John Cena is the current champ, and therefore you were saying you wanted to challenge me, which went straight over my head. Though I'm not really the champ anymore, as the season is over and I've done away with further ranked fighting. Yoshua is the current leader according to the scoreboard.

You can't! You're like the Undertaker and the Wrestlemania Streak! It must be challenged!

Undertaker was 21-1 at Wrestlemania.

Don't you want that kind of legendary-ness?

Roman Reigns, actually. There have been several English champs, however, and TNA is apparently 'more popular' than WWE over there, biased off flawed TV rating data. Flawed in the sense that TNA is apparently on a free channel, and WWE is on a pay channel.

True enough and @ImportantNobody would agree and fight you on those terms. However parody characters tend to be one off fights and I think Melon prefers to fight characters that add to his character's storyline.

Our planned fight fizzled out randomly just before it was to start. Somehow it is all your fault!

I used my crazy Japanese girl with the katana as portrayed by the media (horribly op) for a good parody character but I have a few others I haven't gotten a chance to use yet. Maybe my table tennis guy who can hit people with explosive ping pong balls. I'd have to look through all my parody characters first before deciding, once I get back from work.

Essentially, yes, parody characters tend to provide an entertaining but ultimately pointless fight, as they're not created with any serious story-telling in mind. As I reserve the right to choose who I fight, I like there to be at least a half decent reason for a confrontation, because that's what I find entertaining. My sense of humor doesn't really extend to comical parody characters, so they don't really provide me with enough entertainment to overcome the fact that they rarely if ever offer any continuity or gravitas. This being completely unrelated to the actual technicalities of the fight, which aren't important in unranked, but rather solely story driven interests.

Not to say I've never tried less serious characters, but I've never stuck with them, as I find they're missing something vital for me to enjoy RPing with them.

Ah, alrighty then. I've never been very story driven myself, so I can understand. Perhaps when the season starts again we can have a ranked match and I can use a more appropriate character.

In honor of Star Wars, a parody character could be a storm trooper who is accurate and the armor can withstand more than a single hit rather than die instantly.

I'll cut down the line.

I'm still trying to make an opening post that doesn't completely suck.
