As the title helpfully suggests, this is going to be a fight between Terry Bogard (the player) and myself that takes place in South Town.

What might be less apparent is that it’s also some unholy crossover between SNK’s King of Fighters Universe and Roleplayer Guild’s Symphony of Esper Universe. Two worlds with a pseudo anime aesthetic where people fight each other but otherwise have almost nothing else in common. Yet if you can suspend your disbelief long enough, there might be something here that interests you. 

Terry and I have talked about the duel extensively. It would be boring to cover everything or give you the play by play, so here’s where we’re at. 

Terry Bogard (the player) is going to be playing as our very own, big and masculine, dad avenging, tournament winning, fist flying, seismic slamming, Terry Bogard (the character)! While I will play as some iteration of the tall and thin, monster slaying, syndicate toppling, dagger flipping, spirit summoning, Mika Fang! We’ll put up the sheets once we’re ready to show them to the world, but we keep getting ideas by looking at the other one’s sheet and I’ve decided this time I’m going to need to fold and let Terry have the better sheet. 

The fight is going to take place in South town, preferably in or near China town. Yes, South Town is actually a city for those who didn’t know. So inside of South Town you have China town. I think this would be a good place given the influence Chinese characters have had on both of our characters. That and someone has to throw fried noodles at least once in our fight or I’m calling it a failure. Either way I thought of this just now and have not talked to Terry Bogard (the player) much regarding this specific detail. We did agree that the best thing to do would be to get things rolling so that we knew what we were forgetting. 

Additionally, this is going to have some fighting game logic in it. Not an excessive amount, just a bit of fighting game flavor. Expect some meter management to take place during the fight. Terry Bogard (the player) has taken parts of several iterations of Terry Bogard (the character) and made them into a combatant. I turned Mika Fang, who is a PvE RP character, turned her into a fighting game character, then back into a PvP RP character. This strange conversion process plus KoF and SoE/SoH having vastly different settings and power scales is why some suspension of disbelief is necessary. We’ve agreed to scale our characters to something along the lines of Jojo’s bizarre adventure to smooth things out, though probably with a lot less dismemberment and death. Which is a shame, because I find those a lot of fun...

Is there anything else to say? No!?!??!

Let the insanity begin!!!
