For those who were offended by my post: I apologize. My intention was not to offend anyone or to be elitist. But my point still stands. I come from a generation of fighters where my character is no where near OP and frankly, the restrictions I had put on him gives me disadvantages. The people I grew up fighting (both legendary RP fighters and those from my generation) use powers sometimes greater than Seed's. Now. With that being said the powers isn't what makes the fighter, it's how the fighter uses those powers. Literally the age of fighting I come from is exactly what Skalla had described. Think of it as drag racing. You bring your car. I bring mine. Let's see who will win with what we have. Oh look, surprise! I got nitro! - Or, when you cut in front of your opponent you drop a load of spikes. While we normally have it split between the three tiers (realism, hybrid, fantasy) it is up to you to create a character that can combat so many different concepts.
Now. As for my comment on the quality of fighters, I was not saying that you lot were bad fighters. I haven't fought any of you so I can not determine the skill level of any of you. The quality I was referring to is the fighting quality in each of you. The drive to fight. To go the extreme and say screw boundries and restrictions, I'm going to throw a fucking planet at you. Or for those who would PREFER but not limited to, a sword based combat with mild magic useage. Instead you've drawn a line. Something that will digress the genre of combat, in my opinion. Combat was thriving last I was here and it was exactly the mindset myself and the rest of my generation had. Bring your A game and see if you live. I've hosted tournaments here, I hosted factions (though I disappeared before I could see it unfold properly) and the idea of an Arena Multiverse was being born.
However, with all of this being said and done if there truly are going to be limitations and restrictions I don't think I'd want to participate. I've been fighting for a decade now and as much as I enjoy low level fights...I created Seed for a reason. I spent multiple years birthing this being and I want to use him. If I can't here, then so be it. I will simply drag my ass out of here and find somewhere that can. I'm disappointed that this place had changed so drastically as I was looking forward to a return. Possibly even set up a school to teach others as I'm mostly retired.
But what can you do. -Shrug-
