Beat Melon first then come and see me.

@Skallagrim

You know my one true weakness. A magical girl would be able to defeat him, at least.

Alright...who's going to target her first? XD

I'm almost done with Jacer, save for background/world/history/etc, the rp flavor stuffs, but is it reasonable to be terrified of showing him publicly? >_> Namely as I'm not sure if he's balanced enough or not really...

@Fallenreaper

No one, probably. Little girls scare them too much.

I wonder if you will post him first or I will post mine. I don't remember him being OP.

<Snipped quote by Skallagrim>

WAIT. This argument has been about transformations in a competitive sense? No, of course not. Transformations give you an unfair tier advantage over your opponent in a competitive scene. Story-telling-wise it's fine and dandy, entertaining and while not entirely fair, it's cool.

But having a powered up mode in a set level competition? That's just rude and unfair.

@LeeRoy

My argument is if the transformation is into the proper tier, I see 0 problems outside of other factors involved in their transformation such as automatic full healing. Transformations are just fancy buffs in my eyes, and buffs are tolerated unless they boost you out of the tier. I think you guys are thinking that to transform, it must instantly negate any and all attacks coming in their way up to that point and then boost them to a far superior form than their opponent. This seems like an extreme example of what a transformation could do and not what would always be done.

@LeeRoy definitely newfangled, obvy. No, it's not that. It's simply that IN is the second person, I think, who has theorized something out of nowhere to match the power of the only person here, sans Melon, to be beaten straight up in the past few months.

@Rilla

I didn't come up with a magical girl strictly to defeat Skallagrim with the best possible character to defeat him, but instead to have a funny scene of him getting crushed by a little girl. It's funny because you wouldn't expect her to be a match for his power like some world gobbling entity.

I like diversity as long as it's new characters taking up the mantle of previous superheroes or be entirely new heroes rather than changing existing characters for no reason other than to try to add diversity. An alternate universe changing them would also be perfectly fine.

The Multiverse: Arena

Which is why I'm likely going wit the Spider-Man way of it being a permenant transformation so that it still works with his backstory but doesn't stop him from being in ranked stuff.

As for the magical girl, life won't be complete until we see a 10 year old girl kick skallagrim right in the tailbone.

The Multiverse: Arena

Collecting various pieces of characters and forming a golem

@Rilla

All he needs is the left big toenail and he will be complete! But seriously, he sounds more like Frankenstein than a golem.

To help get you guys over your fear of transforming, I should start a magical girl arena battle in my setting where magical girls can have additional transformations after the first one as well as some of them having legendary transformations that have various abilities depending on which one. The best suits can be a match for dreamers. At suit level 1, four or so girls accidentally overthrow an entire goblin-like empire by overzealously defending themselves during a lunch break when an enemy patrol ambushed them.

Clean sweep but maybe a thread where records are recorded each year.

The Multiverse: Arena

Magic, IN, magic.

@Rilla

Your character's ability to turn people into golems or my character's body parts turning into golems once collected?

The Multiverse: Arena

That example was for my character having a more permenant transformation. Sailor moon would be a better example for the transformations I may not be doing now.

The Multiverse: Arena

<Snipped quote by ImportantNobody>

Umm then it isn't a transformation since peter parker is always spiderman. Perhaps the hulk or colossus are better transformative chatacters.

@Skallagrim

You could say Peter Parker permanently transformed when he was bitten.

The Multiverse: Arena

I'd do it, just to kill it.

Or kill it, take a body part and make a golem.

@Rilla

Are we still talking about my upcoming transforming character? Because if so, why is he an it who's body parts can make a golem? O_o

I could also go with the transformation being mostly permenant, like Spider-Man, and he'd only be tuned to an un-enhanced "Peter Parker" version if something special removes his powers rather than doing a bunch of transformations on a regular basis.
