The book of bad juju

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure RP anyone?

Jojo RP? I am so on this like like Foo Fighters on a septic tank.

Spoiler

Even if we're not going up to Steel Ball Run - The unadulterated best part with the unadulterated best Jojo and companions to boot. But hey, It's Always Sunny in Morioh town can be fun too.

Aya was not having a good day.

She'd woken up to a particularly bad dream when four sets of dragons seemed to be poised to eat her whole, gnashing and tearing at her body like cooked bacon. She'd only managed to wake up when she'd fallen out of her bed and onto the floor, which was an impressive feat, especially from the top bunk. She felt drained and tired, with aches and pains all over her body in the strangest of areas, and her hair was a mess. Even more then usual, it had managed to swallow up several combs and brushes over the years, but today it had decided to become an unruly monster, twisting and tangling harder then an Ultimaya Sylvians player.

Speaking of Ultimaya Sylvians, there was that whole announcement. She'd stared at it with goggle-eyed amazement, barely believing the words being spoken by the kaibacorp CEO on her screens. This was a massive shakeup. Every single Extra-deck focused archetype in existance was suddenly nearly dead without these link monster things. She took a glance at her schedule. Double Extra Deck Constructions 101, which was good as she was gonna need it.

Aya finished up her bowl, and immediately went to leave the cafeteria, pronto. If that last thing was true, Aya was gonna be the first to know about them. She wanted to get her mitts on some of these linky monsters. By her reckoning, if she could get three of the things, easily summon them into her deck... then she could make some very interesting and probably unintended things to happen.

I know that feel. For the last few days i've been trying not to concentrate on this one idea for a character that would be hell to actually RP through just text but won't leave me alone no matter what.

Hider

QPU-aligned Mario meets The Council of Reeds. All about some guy who went so fast one day that he broke into alternate universes, met alternate versions of himself, and just gathered them up into one big army of me to do cool things with.

They're fighting game terms.

A shotoclone is an allrounder, with not too many overpowered super-moves that require tricky button presses. They're usually the first character you can pick in fighting games. The Ur example is Ryu from street fighter. They usually center around three moves, a fireball they can spam from across the stage, a big, powerful, but slow to wind up rush or kick that leaves them open if they miss, and a big, showy uppercut to swat at the opponents who'll jump over their fireball. In Fighting games, there's usually a time limit, so sitting at one end of the stage and blocking the fireballs isn't really a good strategy. So it always comes down to who's going to move first, and if they can get past the uppercut and strike them while they're doing the uppercut or getting around it. The term comes from Shotokan Karate, which is what Ryu and Ken were meant to be performing in street fighter.

A grappler character is a big, stronk, heavy guy who's strongest attacks revolve around grabbing the other character and throwing him. In fighting games, a throw will always beat a shield, but will be beaten in turn by just punching them before they can punch you. They're the scissors in the strategy game of fighting games, and they'll usually have not a lot of projectile weapons to encourage that style of play of just grabbing a guy and suplexing his ass. Think Zangeif or Alex.

A zoner is a character who's completely opposite to the Grappler. Their entire strategy revolves around playing keep-away with their opponent, using projectiles with wierd arcs and laying traps down to make up for the fact that their shield is weak and their throws can't get the opponent away far enough. Think Dhalsim or Ingrid.

Fighting games are really worth getting into, by the way.

Oh yeah, i forgot to actually post this.

If anyone wants some running commentary over their fights, just drop me a PM and we'll work something out.

And you scrapped that idea? What's wrong with you?

We're still at the DDD three-way.

"Good afternoon, i'm Eulalio, and you're listening to KRDJ, your one stop shop for talk radio, all day and every day. It's another beautiful day here in the big melting pot of the city between the rivers, and tonight, we're gonna take a good hard look at the newest latest attraction to grace our fair city, the International Brazillian Fighting Cup, taking place just up the road from the old Palace building. Tickets will be available all throughout today and tommorrow, if you wanna come and watch some super-powered badasses beat the ever loving snout out of each other, this is the trip for you. With us in the studio is the head Referee of the event, Mister Steve Bannon."

"Que tal?"

"So, Mister Bannon, the first rounds have all but almost cleared themselves up, what can you say about our contestants, who should we keep an eye for?"

"Gracias, Eulalio. Well, we've had some wonderful bunch of contestant here on the first night of the competition. Two that really caught my eye, personally, were the competitors of Heat D. Interesting mix of both brains and brawn in this fight, up between the two ton terror of Tannhauser, Klara G-Grimolf-doter, and Missus 'Splosion Man herself, Otsana "Binladen" Corral. Let me tell you, i reckon the eyes of every red-blooded male in the audience were fixed on these two fierce competitors, and I'm not just talking about their performance on the mat if you know what I-"

"Misser Bannon, this is a family show!"

"I apologize. Still, this competition is doing wonders for the MMA scene, as you know. Hundreds, if not thousands of spectators for just the first night. And we've been hearing rumors of Ticketmaster actually selling out their stock, so buy in early, listeners! You're not gonna want to miss some of this spectacle!"

"Putting aside the blatant promotion, what do you say to some of the concerns that the events were Unsafe and Dangerous to look at? We here at KRDJ received word that a stray bullet from one of the heats, er... 'went into a spectator's shoulder, causing him to be rushed to hospital'. Any comment on that?"

Silence. Dead air, while Joaoquim tried to gather his thoughts. Gosh, this radio business was harder then he thought.

"Ah, well, this isn't a traditional competition, as you know. Many of the fighters are used to needing to demonstrate, erm... how you say, Dominance? My point is that we're probably not going to make action figures out of these guys. There's going to be blood and guts on display, maybe a few cusses when things get really hairy, y'know? So maybe don't bring the kiddies. If they wanna watch, we're going to air these matches on TV heavily edited. Which is gonna be a real pain, especially with all the cussing that went on with Heat A with El Uno, but we'll manage it. But i gotta say, there's something so amazingly raw about seeing these events live, y'know? This whole feeling that anything can happen between these guys and gals when they really do put their lives on the line. I'd hate to be against these guys in a dark alleyway in the favelas, am i right?"

"I'm sure. Still, I hear that the rampant use of firearms in this tournament has attracted some Ire, hasn't it? I think there was an article about it in the Rio Gazette, bemoaning how you're setting a bad examp-"

"Psh, the Gazette's a rag, you know that! What we're offering is some real action, real combat, and maybe even some real violence. We don't want to put limits on what our competitors can do, Arbitrarily fencing off a few weapons just because the average Joe on the street can't get their mitts on them isn't our way."

"Well, if you're sure. We'll be back after these words from our sponsors, don't go away!"
