Doing a sort of outline for the story? For group fights, which character could kill/defeat who, how they would do it, maybe what events could happen, and then we all do it well written IC.

Like that game Super Fight. We would have a sort of verbal debate as to who would win, or how cool it would be if this character died in that cool way.

That way each player wouldn't have to come up with actions right on the spot and try their best to do some crazy move that results with them with the upper hand? That happens a lot. This could result in some swift and brutal fights if we were to do it right.

No one ever just "Gets hit" in the Arena thread, from what I can tell. They've always got a plan to do some a quadruple backflip over their opponents head, only for the opponent to shift his momentum bounce off the wall and hit the opponent in mid-air

you know the fights just kind of go on
for months

I was just thinking of a way to...circumvent these never-ending fights. But I'm a noobie, I was just curious as to what some some more experiences arena fighters thought.

What you are suggesting can be done. But, I don't believe it belongs in the Arena anymore. Sounds like it belongs in one of the other RP sections on the board because you are switching from the competitive nature of the Arena to a collaborated story-telling structure where everything is predetermined.

I'm not saying I am for or against your idea. I just don't think it really fits with what's here.

This is also like the series Death Battle. I'm up for it. Like Davlamin I'm not sure 100% if it should still be in arena or not (it could but also could not). We could do a 1x1 roleplay and just have a bunch of planned battles? That could be fun.

It would still be good for testing out characters because as the discussions what would be going on, you could be coming up with why that would or would not be effective against them and whatnot. It also wouldn't be pulling stuff out at random to try to beat them, so you can feel more inclined to post "what if I could do this awesome thing?" and not have the opponent claim they are god modding or something. It would be a good thing to get that ability idea out there to see if it is indeed op before being used in actual arena fights.

P.S. Quadruple backflips should still be allowed in reason. ;)

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm pretty sure that it would be allowed, right? I mean, it's combat based. That's basically the only stipulation to create things on the arena. "Person A fights Person B"

It would be allowed, I'm sure. More fitting for a 1x1 or the arena is what's mainly up for debate, but it doesn't matter a huge amount.
