@Galaxyfighter4

There are a ton of variables you'd need to address, but generally you want a character with plenty of strong offensive options and at least a little mindgame potential. If your attacks are predictable or easily punished it'll be hell trying to finish a fight.

It's uncouth what Maglar has done. The incidental time has finished for their posts in the wrong sections of the ARENA, I'm going to report it forth to the suggestions\problems forum.

@Blackmist16

Ask for a fight, set up a ranked/unranked thread and specify the rules and setting, you both post your sheets and throw down. If there's an issue that requires a logical judgement, you may contact me to resolve it. After the fight, if it was ranked, contact a moderator and they'll update your score.

@Doc Doctor@BangoSkank I now know the arena rules, so I will not be needing the fight. I'm going to make my own man and fight ladies, princesses, and wizardesses.

If you're still looking for a fight, an arena bout is something I've been considering for a while.

Here's an arena character I was cooking up for a while. I'm not entirely happy with how I described his powers, but I didn't see anything especially OP power wise on your character's sheet. I'd be fine with ditching his powers/Sword/Halberd/armor/whatever, or just working something out so that the fight is more balanced.



I should note I have no interest in doing a ranked match. Otherwise I'm open to almost anything. I also have an eco terrorist/movie star in the works, but her sheet is sort of incomplete.

Sure!

My dude is kinda a goof. I'm thinking something like your guy is returning from an adventure or perhaps has grown bored due to a lack of adventures and heads to a pub. My guy can be there bragging about his wrestling abilities and putting out an open challenge to anyone in the bar.

Let me know if that sounds reasonable. We shouldn't need a judge I don't think but if you want one I'm open to whatever.

I'm fine with a bar brawl. Vasilis is the type of person who would rise to someone's taunt. I think having a judge would be interesting, if only to hear what an experienced arena hand has to say. But I don't think it's necessary and I'm certainly willing to start without one. Who knows when/if someone will come back on that qualifies for such a thing.

It's getting late on my end, but I will look over your character sheet a bit closer in time. If it's just going to be a bar braw, maybe we can both forego weapons/abilities and make the fight more about hand to hand combat and whatever we can use in the vicinity.

Yeah my guys abilities are basically just excuses for him to not immediately die when he fights guys who are way stronger than him, but then probably still lose unless I get lucky. He's a halfway joke character, as are most of my characters.

Well, I'm willing to tune Vasilis to whatever you want to run Danger as. If you did want a powered battle we'd just have to decide how powered you want to go. When I wrote Vasilis's powers last time I got too hung up on how they worked rather than the limits of what he could do, so that shouldn't be too hard to correct. At his most powered, he can adjust the momentum of objects he touches.

Danger seems to consist mostly of mental prowess powers that let him continue fighting despite what happens to his body. There isn't a lot of specific information about his physical prowess, were you going for "grounded realism" or something closer to "cartoon realism?" Also, did you want to hammer out specifics in PMs or did you want to continue discussing stuff here?

Also, have you read any arena fights? They aren't too hard to figure out, I just wanted to make sure you knew about stuff like "interrupts" and the difference between preparing an action and executing it.

@BrokenPromise@BangoSkank

Aw yeah, BrokenPromise is right. One of the things that trips people up the most is the pacing of a fight and commitment to actions. I'll make it short and simple, just in case anyone is unfamiliar.

If my character tried to throw a quick jab, it could be said that's a fairly safe action because it would happen fast and there's not a lot of leeway for my opponent to take advantage of my action.

If my character attempted a quadruple spinning backflip, and would land in a splits position to punch my opponent in the nuts like Johnny Cage, said opponent could easily disrupt me right off the bat, maybe by throwing off the equilibrium of my flip with a simple shove to send me crashing onto my face, thus interrupting my series of actions and rendering everything that would have followed the flip completely nonexistent.
Same if you had your character try and throw out a series of punches and kicks. The more actions you take, the more opportunities you give your opponent to take advantage of.

In short, don't get ahead of yourself if you don't want half of the post you worked hard on to go to waste. The devil's in the details.

I think my Arena fight is the only current one, and it's equal parts combat and fuck around saying stupid shit. My opponent @Sniblet has been fun to write with though and it would be cool to see @BrokenPromise s character now, years later.

I'm presently in too much stuff right now to participate in a fight. But here's the character.
