I absolutely love over the top fights that span miles, simply because the characters are fast any powerful enough to clear that much distance and leave it in absolute ruin. Marvel and DC do this from time to time, with characters like Captain Marvel, Beta Ray Bill, Sentry, Apocalypse, Superman, Darkseid, the list goes on.

There's a reason a huge chunk of my characters are in High-Powered. Spectacle is my dish, realistic devastation by terrifyingly powerful entities gets my blood pumping like boiling lead.

Nothing is more exciting to me than a superhuman battle that drags on for so long the two characters exhaust eachother and eventually it's decided by who collapses first.

"Ki can make Ice too!?" Battle of Ki Users, Brighton vs Tanzo

@Takashi It's chill, I've got yesterday and today off. I'm just sort of fucking around while planning my D&D campaign.

I can respect that answer, honestly I wasn't expecting an articulate response. @The 42nd Gecko.

Cause I just re-read my shit and it's totally standoffish when I didn't mean it to be.

Also, Zabuza should have been later in the show. Like right after the chuunin exams. Because the animation quality got a bump, and Zabuza's story is genuinely good. Not like, oh this is the best thing ever.

No, Naruto isn't known for it's storytelling. It's story is kinda jumpy and gets really dumb. But Zabuza and Haku was a literally heartwrenching subplot that had writing that stood out like a sore thumb in early Naruto.

Though I'll be frank, I watch Naruto for the moments when they hit MY favored range of power and just decimate landscapes with their abilities. Coupled with the higher quality animation of those episodes, mmph. Beautiful.

Edit: I did it again, this isn't meant to sound standoffish, it's just 12 in the morning and I haven't had any sleep since yesterday.

A Threat Delivered (Low-Powered/Open)

With a bit of a huff, he pulled his lips back slightly and sniffed in through his nose. Rocking his lips back and forth across his teeth wordlessly for a moment before rolling the note up and sliding it in between two of his belts. It was another moment before he actually spoke, and as he did he reached slowly for the large mass of spiked death on his hip. A morning star with quite a substantial weight would show this young man that he means business. "You're right, I'll admit. I'm not Brighton, but I am a friend." Though he was reaching towards his weapon he had no violence in his face or movements. As though he were simply bringing his hand backwards to cradle himself in a very stereotypical old-man sort of way.

Deception never works, but he's always got to give it a try, y'know? "And the family of Sir Brighton has to regretfully inform you through me, that Alexander is not currently available." Again he rolled his lips across his teeth, following them with his tongue to wet his gums. "Unfortunately for you, young man, I was sent in his stead as a 'champion' of sorts." With his hand safely on the handle of his morning star, he teetered slightly backwards to better position his legging in preparation of this mercenary's likely immediate attack.

"You might recognize me, if you've ever peered into a scrying pool you know. I'm rather well-to-do among the higher echelons of warriors." A not-so-humble brag pushed between his teeth, halfway pretending to be a lunatic and halfway bragging to himself. "You might know me as an Extreme, though I doubt you've got much to do with magic, my dear boy." While he spoke his face lit up like a Christmas tree, his cheeks raised and his mouth turned upright into a broad smile. His eyes shut tightly, or so they seemed.

Rather, they were narrowed down to a pinhead's width and he was glaring through the false visage of jovial behavior. Solomon did not like this boy already, not only for being hired to kill his friend, but also for how he seemed to brush off the elderly. Plain rude if you ask him.

@Takashi Psst I see you're online.

Why is Narutoverse so popular? Just asking, because I've watched the show and like I'm not bashing on people who like it. I'm just saying I don't understand why it's so common.

While the open-endedness of the powers is neat and all, the outright limitations subjected to the characters is just like. Awful.

Like, you're never the best, because the protagonist literally becomes Jesus Christ right near the end.

The coolest powers are limited to ten people, the tailed beasts.

And if you make your character stronger than that, you're making a Mary Sue. At least according to other people who play with Narutoverse characters.

Like.

There's so many other ways that you could go about it, y'know. And I honestly don't see the appeal.

Edit: Also, @Melon, I'm on it. It'll be up in a lil' bit. Been distracted with the shite-ass holidays.

I like the idea, the actualization would require a shit ton of work that would have to be planned out in advance days before the first post is even made. It would require, of course, the three consenting parties all agreeing on the direction that it should be going. And the complete trust in the impartial mediation of the third party.
