Edit: Also gun-fu is the tightest shit in the history of shit and the fact that it is literally non-existent in the Arena is the most disappointing thing I've ever seen.

@LeeRoy

I have a gun-fu character. She's granted me my official win and wins before we were keeping track. Funny how my gun character wins all the time.

Sure, for realistic humans if you don't have a gun then you can beat someone with a gun if you're able to outmaneuver and out think your opponent in an environment that favors you. However, your choice of not using a gun gives you 0 advantage other than for the fun. You can only negate your disadvantages if you outplay your opponent, and if you're able to defeat them without one you could have defeated them with one far easier. The gun has the advantage at every distance. Put two people within swinging distance. The gun user just has to move their finger while the melee weapon user must swing their whole arm. Go one step further and put them with the sword point pressed against the gun user's chest. The gun user can still fire off a bullet quicker than the sword could travel through their chest, and continue firing while the melee weapon is inside them, while the melee weapon can't repeatedly stab or slash nearly as quickly as any modern gun so they better hope their first strike hits true to stop them from unloading their entire clip into you at point blank range. And of course at long range the advantages are even more ridiculous over the melee weapon. So yes, the no gun person still can win, but without any advantage outside of the roleplayer not fighting them outright and just playing a lot better. We should all be able to admit it's not really balanced, but can still be fun if you're into it.

One hit could kill someone almost instantly on the flip side of the coin. If you're fighting a gunman who can shoot a fly then it would tend to lean towards that direction if he shoots your character, but a normal gunslinger you can get away with more.

My new main character will be versatile with lots of room for improvement. Now that I think about it she's sort of like Archer from the Fate series. She can summon sparkly, glowing energy stuff like daggers and swords, or even armor and shields, into the air around her. The weapons can be fired off or track her movements like bending from The Last Airbender, only with pointy objects rater than elements. I'm thinking she could have the energy explode into energy attacks rater than remain only solid. It will take a second or two to spawn weapons so she can't just make a dagger unavoidably appear facing your heart as you charge in. Well, in later tiers her attacks would appear unavoidable to lesser folks.

Anyone think they'd like to fight her? I was thinking her introduction should be an important battle of some sort.

Speaking of giant enemy crabs, how about we do a boss fight where I control a giant enemy crab and any number of low powered characters can team up to fight him? It will be more story related as the giant enemy crab (GEC) forces invade the multiverse and this one is the vanguard. He will lose but do tons of damage to you guys in the process and he's 10 times smaller than the king crab despite standing 15 feet tall. This concept will take minimal effort so won't interfere with my other battles tha may start.

Anyone interested? It will be a slightly more silly tone than usual, but also capable of serious moments like One Punch Man or Gintama.

@DLL Literally everyone I have ever met and had a conversation with has made the Leeroy Jenkins joke. That or Bad Bad Leeroy Brown. I'm used to it now.

@LeeRoy

I refrained from doing so. Are you proud of me?

Arena Chat Thread

Hey now. You should at least buy a girl a drink before you get frisky. Else she might pinch back - and as Star mentioned, I got more pinchin' power than the average Giant Enemy Crab.

@DLL

I thought you were ambiguous of gender?

Regardless, I can attack your weak point for massive damage after using my real time weapon change. That is unless you pay me 599 US dollars.

...take note. Need to give Cee the ability to manifest dicks on the opponent to render them vulnerable to dick-punching...

@DLL

I'm pretty sure you're copying a hentai plot somewhere.

I think I'm in order for a new main character who I'll try to post the sheet to on the weekend without procrastination. I'll also start some fights on the weekend too with Starfall and anyone else who's interested (well, up to a point, of course). DLL, jokes on you because my new main character has no dick, so cannot be punched there. Your main attack has failed before it even began! As for my wood magician I mentioned, due to turning partially into wood....yeeeaaaahhhh, about that, your attack won't do much good on him either.

[Planned] ImportantNobody and Stekkmen: UNT vs The Threat

The Ord Donna's legs were pumping furiously as Thar made record time across the unforgiving terrain to the nearest command post. He couldn't even afford a sigh of relief as he spotted the single storied grey building, coated in snow, on the horizon, and a small patrol of guards lazily making their way around it's general vicinity. Judging by their demeanor they were not expecting to have any trouble until they saw his approach. Even from afar, the look on his face was evident. The group tensed immediately, hands reaching for their weapons.

"Corporal, what in the blazes-" one of the men in charge spoke as he quickly marched his way.

"We came under attack by some...some thing! A huge monster! Our weapons were no match, Phorda is dead, and my men bravely allowed me just enough time to escape and find my way here!" Corporal Thar explained in a hurried tone between ragged panting. "This threat is on a scale larger than my planet has ever seen!"

"How did we not see this before?"

"It came out of nowhere! We were investigating that spatial disturbance, so it must be the cause!"

"Curses! I'll send our entire force to help. Not like we're doing much good out here anyways," the man replied, reaching for his communicator.

"Communications were down. That's why I ran all the way here," Thar explained.

Sure enough, he couldn't get a signal either. He let out a sigh. "You, take the all terrain vehicle and spread the word of this threat to the surrounding bases," he said, pointing to someone nearby. "You three, get everyone here up to speed and ready to move out, pronto! We can't have a large monster roaming free to attack our cities for any longer. Corporal Thar, you shall accompany me in the command vehicle. We'll hit this thing hard and fast."

The two made their way to the vehicle bay, which contained three light tanks and one command tank, which had a large viewing platform on top instead of a turret that could hold around ten soldiers and multiple guns. Thar brought him up to speed for the duration of the trip, although he unfortunately knew all to little of what they were truly up against.

By the time they made it to the scene it was clear that they were too late to save the rest of the scouts, as they were either smoking remains or torn to pieces. The monster was still alive and well, and not only that but it had backup. Great.

"Light tanks, flank him on both sides. Those with small arms, focusing on clearing out the smaller monsters. The rest of you should keep focused on bringing the big guy down."

Unlike before, there were much more people in this wave and better equipped for combat. Four groups of twenty, each accompanying a tank, began to move into position, each group having two rocket launchers, although they didn't want to waste them with random shots yet. First they would open fire all over to begin revealing weak points and putting holes into it's hide. They meant business and it would be much harder for the Threat to get out of this one.

@MelonHead

As amazing as my fists may be they cannot punch 15 days into the past.

@Starfall

Doesn't mean you can't have a character who can punch so awesomely it goes back in time. I bet superman could do it. XD

This is as good of a time as any to reboot my characters. I created a chart to try and find balanced stats for various power levels up to spiderman level, so if anyone is interested in it I'll post it after work. I have average, trained, and peak human stats for speed and strength as 1 tier with low, medium, and high stats for every tier. I just need to find how lifting strength could translate to punching, such as saying "this character can punch through steel armor" I need to see where that falls on my scale. This way I'll better compare my characters rather than thinking one is stronger but the lift is actually not as strong as the other character's punch, as I later find out. You can use my tiers as a reference for this purpose and not have it actual official tiers.

For all the new guys, anyone interested in fighting a magician who accidentally became too one with nature and is beginning to turn tree-like? I haven't posted his sheet yet.
