Posted on 05-27-05 03:36 PM, in The Sim Battle Auditorium and Cafeteria Link
At that call, four of the ceiling panels in the cafeteria detach themselves from the ceiling and fly downward at lightning speed, boxing Jenny in and entrapping her. A very large device hanging down from the ceiling that nobody noticed was there before suddenly slid along the rails of the ceiling to a point above her head. It glowed yellow only for a second, and then discharged a large blast of Pokemon-esque lightning down at her, frying her in a manner very similar to Team Rocket. The four walls fell downward, leaving her covered in soot.

A brick in the wall of the cafeteria suddenly slid back, and the barrel of a cannon was revealed. There was a quick blast, and a pair of cream pies came flying out, connecting with Jenny and Sanigen's heads with a wet *SPLAT* sound. User Grey's voice rang out over the intercom...


User Grey: "Carry on."

The food fight was on!

Garro and Kalar exchanged glances. Kalar smiled, and drew his scythe off his back.

Kalar: "While I'm anxious to get out of this hole..."

Garro: "...At the same time the prospect of going on a bloodthirsty rampage and killing all of these reckless interlopers is tantalizing, if not horrendously pleasurable?"

Kalar: "Couldn't have said it better myself, my unholy friend."

Garro unholstered his pistols, blessed them, and clicked out the ammo cartridges, instantly replacing them with another pair of shining silver bullet clips. He shifted his hat slightly on his head, ruffled his coat, and holstered his guns.

Garro: "Well then, Dark Phoenix...."

Kalar twirled his scythe, shifted it between several other terrifyingly deadly weapons, and brushed a few of Janus' stray ashes off of his metal leg, inspecting the ragged holes in his suit nonchalantly.

Kalar: "Count us in. But one condition: We get to be free when we're done beating the shit out of everyone."

Garro: "And on the off-chance we get in over our head, don't expect us to die for you. Especially not after only being brought to this world today."

Each of them reached out to shake the ominous, phoenix-like warrior's hand. The deal was done, now all that was left was to start the killing.

Kalar: "I'll take care of this."

Kalar hefted his scythe and twirled it in his hands, wielding it like a bladed staff. He ran up to Star (future) and jabbed the pole of the weapon into the ground, vaulting himself over Star and coming out of the jump fluidly with a clean horizontal slice! After slicing he hits a button on the shaft of the scythe and retracts the glasslike blade at the edge. Almost instantly, another blade comes out of the other end of the weapon, creating a spear that he uses to stab forward at whatever counter Star may deliver.

Garro, however, does not waste any time either. He brings his pistols into a cross shape, and begins praying...

And Cpubasic13, I play Bonus mode, too. It's interesting, to go for style instead of power. But usually KOs still decide the winner there, unless someone goes for all on one or all variations.

I'm convinced I've found nearly all of the bonuses, but there's got to be a few I haven't fulfilled just yet.

Garro: "The power of Good.... For the forces of Evil! Holy Sacreliege!!!"

As Ex approached, Garro raised his guns, and they glowed with a completely pure and sinless energy...

With graceful speed and power, the blessed silver of his gun barrels met Dark Weapon perfectly, parrying the upward slash and giving Garro ample time to acrobatically flip out of the way of the second. As Ex spun, Garro raised one gun to the side and caught Dark Weapon in a shower of metal-meets-metal sparks. What was truly amazing, however, was that Dark Weapon wasn't even beginning to slice through them.

This was quite fortunate, as the gun was sufficient to hold Dark Weapon in place as Garro fired the other gun at point-blank range at Ex, releasing a wide blast of holy energy.

As Kalar jumped into a diving spiral his weapon whipped outward and transformed again. This time, the shaft shortened to a heavy weight-like shape, and a long chain broke from one side of the weight, extending into a sharp glass-like blade. A Kusari-gama!

He rolled on the ground and stopped, kneeling on one knee, only to whip the blade on the chain around at the Star on the left and hold on to the middle of the chain, sending the weighted end at the Star on the right. The move followed through with him wrapping the chain around various limbs on his body, so that he was covered in chains and holding a weight in one hand, and a blade in the other. Despite his bounded appearance, he could send the two pieces flying outward at any time...


Garro: "Still alive, eh? Well, I do enjoy a good killing."

In a surprising display of speed, the relentless priest pursued the pseudopokemon, brandishing his guns and kissing the one that already fired, causing it to glow with silver-white light again...

"Gunrusher!!!"

He continued running at Ex, leaping over her head and firing in midair and spraying a machine gun-esque hail of silver bullets at her in a semicircular pattern formed by his flying over her and rolling on the ground when he landed. He whirled around and finished his attack by firing the unfired gun and releasing another blast of holy energy. He closed his eyes, chanted a short prayer, and the gun began to glow with a dull silver light again...

Grey: "Booyah! Don't mind if I do!"

He gets up from his cramped seat in the stands, walks over to the spot where NSNick's body disappeared, leaving behind his ninja uniform, and in a very strange display of grunting and rustling, manages to get the overly loose clothing fit around his body. It immediately conforms to his size, and he brandishes a few ninja stars.

He twists his back, and a very loud and obnoxious *CRACK* sound is heard as he begins warming up for the trials...

Kalar: "Easy as Pi!"

The second he saw the lightning, Kalar converted his weapon back into the metal scythe form, but the blade did not slide out of the tip as usual. Instead, it remained a steel staff, which Kalar slammed hard enough into the ground that it remained stuck there, touching his metal arm and leg to it with two points of contact each. The lightning surged around him and struck directly at the pole, which was considerably taller than Kalar at this point. It surged through both his arm and his leg and he winced in pain as the nerve receptors on the connection points with his hip and shoulder went wild with electricity. Still, it was better than being shocked to death.

He hoisted himself up on the pole and brought himself closer to Star's position. Soon, he was standing on the tip of his foot, at the end of the pole. He elevated himself to where Star was above him, and donned a very stern look.


"Still, that did hurt. But then, so will this."

He sprung off the tip of the pole and in the second that he remained suspended in the air, brought the pole up, transforming it into a large broadsword in transit. He whirled around, striking horizontally at Star and then downward, plunging toward the ground and landing hard on his metal limbs, creating a crack in the floor and a slight crater.

Garro faced some less impressive difficulties. Ex's attack was easy enough to parry, since it was powered supremely by momentum, Garro was 1) able to use the first gun he charged to parry Dark Weapon's circular strike (the blast would have logically caused Ex to start whirling in the direction towards which the blast was heading and towards Garro's fresh gun), and 2) followed that maneuver by disappearing and reappearing right next to Raiko, rushing around the blast with an eye-tricking speed that explained fully why Janus feared him and coming into view as though he had dashed straight through the shot. He had, in fact, not. It would have fried him. Fortunately, however, it was now headed toward Ex, who should really move if she doesn't want to get singed.

And speaking of severe, lacerating injuries, if Raiko wants to avoid one, he's gonna have to figure out some way to remove himself from Garro's blast radius, which should activate right about........ Now.


Garro: "Take this!"

Another hail of bullets went flying at Raiko. Here's to hoping Riea can raise another one of those shields, they seem pretty effective.

EDIT: OOC: If you're wondering why these guys are so unfairly strong, you'll find out in a few more rounds. Dracoon, I'm PMing you with an interesting idea...

Posted on 06-01-05 09:29 PM, in TR4 Grey vs Melvin! Link
The fist caught him hard in the stomach, and the compressed air blew the burning warrior backward into said rock, which exploded into several large, jagged pieces, followed instantly by its demise into many more extremely small pieces on contact with F-T's rocket launcher. With that amount of firepower, Janus was hurtin' for certain....

---------------------------

Grey: "I can't stand this any more! We have to help him, User Grey's completely stacking the odds here!"

Blue: "Perhaps that is his strategy."

Grey: "What?"

The detective looked at his ally in bewilderment. Why would User Grey do that? And furthermore, why would John just announce that to the judges? And wasn't this breaking the fourth wall?

Blue: "Yes, he may be stacking the odds so hard to keep this from seeming like an easily-won battle. One single Melvin would have been more than enough for Janus to handle, but UGrey seems to be capitalizing on Janus' overconfidence and teaching him a lesson. If I were Janus, I would realize at this point that there is no reason to believe one can do everything himself. In fact, I would go so far as to actually ask us for help, rather than stay adamant to one's pride, as I suppose Janus will do."

Garro stayed silent throughout this entire endeavor. He didn't like the idea at all. Then again, he didn't like User Grey, either. He scowled, and walked over to the window. Janus had gotten up from the crater formed by the Melvins, and continued to recieve beating after beating from their presumedly relentless assault.

Garro: "He's just standing there, taking it.... He's an idiot."

----------------------------

Indeed, Janus was standing there and taking it, as he drew from his pocket one of the black backed CDs he had taken from Satchel before User Grey stopped its usage.

Janus: "Just... Gotta... Hang... In... There......."

He brought the disc up to his eyes, past a mouth that was already beginning to show a trickle of deep red blood, to a pair of glowing blue eyes, and began to scan. His footing shifted a bit on the rocks that had formed below him, but still he scanned. He needed to persevere. He would beat this.

Posted on 06-03-05 10:22 PM, in The single most annoying enemy of all time. Link
I have a list:

T.A.C. from Kirby Superstar (but he was awesome as a helper)
Any enemy that laughed at you in the DKC games
Pretty much anything from Kingdom Hearts that could pull off a cheap block, including and especially the fat Heartless
Like Likes in any form, nevermind the stupid blobby things or the moving cylinders from the GB Zelda games
Floormasters (Wallmasters I can deal with. Floormasters are bastards! The worst bastard children of satan to ever crawl along a floor in any game ever)
A very large portion of the enemies from Conker's Bad Fur Day
Those spikebots from the Megaman series that dash along the floor that freeze for about .000000000000001 seconds when you hit them
Anything at all that comes from the Megaman Legends games (doesn't stop them from ruling, though).

Anyway, back to Floormasters: They suck. They're evil. The fact that they actually turn invincible AND can split into smaller versions of themselves that then grow into full versions of themselves is quite possibly the most annoying thing in all of Ocarina of Time.

Janus: "Alright, Detective. I think that after all of this time, you need to learn how to fight. I'm not always going to be around to save your arse, so you've got to be able to defend yourself if ever we get into a situation where I'm unable to."

Janus stood in front of Detective Grey, his arms crossed and Satchel strapped professionally to his back. His compatriot shifted uncomfortably in his coat, his hands fingering the various pieces of random junk that were located in his pockets. Det. Grey didn't like fighting very much... He wasn't good at it, and more often than not he got seriously hurt. The last *real* fight he had been in was in the tournament against Dracoon... That was a hellbender, and the only reason his head was still attached to his shoulders was because Satchel had managed to save him at the last second, when Dracoon decided to fire a rather large blast of energy from his gun at him.

Detective: "Do I really have to? I mean, it's not like I can't run, or hide, or talk out my differences with someone who wants to kill me, right?"

Janus: "Wrong. What happens if you're out in an open field and there's a giant robot chasing you and you have no choice but to defend yourself?"

Detective: "You mean like I did with Melvin?"

Janus remembered the detective after that one... Shook up, he was.

Janus: "OK, bad example..."

He took from his pocket a summons to Sim Battle Arena F, currently unused and newly outfitted with the specialized titanium-steel alloy plating that Grey had requested after Janus and Melvin had ripped up Samuel's special marble arenas in their tournament fight. Too many explosions.

"Detective, there's an old friend of mine waiting for a good fight in Arena F. He's a little rusty, so you two should be about evenly matched, unless he actually decided to retain his old strength. That said, I'm hoping everything'll be more or less ok. Get to it, you've got a long day ahead of you."

Detective: "But---"

Janus: "No buts, go. Now."

Detective: "Argh, fine....."

The Detective slowly trudged toward the arena, his heart pounding and feet trembling more with every step. Why him....?

Posted on 06-06-05 06:57 PM, in Is this racist? Link
Ziff... You're not seeing his point. But Legault, you're not seeing Ziff's. There's a fine line between need and necessity.

Legault: You're right for saying that people shouldn't bitch when they suck at life enough to not be picked for a job. Affirmative action should be made more lenient to account for race AND quality. But at the same time, AA also glorifies a form of racial discrimination that, while not necessarily bad, is still discrimination being used by a country that is supposed to be nondiscriminant. If we're gonna be nonracist, it has to work both ways: We can't give disadvantages and disenfranchises to """""looked down upon""""" ethnicities, but at the same time we can't raise them above the rest of the world as sullen, unable, impoverished masses, because as the rule of stereotypes goes, NOT ALL OF THEM ARE.

Ziff: You, however, drop the A-Bomb of Affirmative Action: Money. There isn't enough money to go around to allow people to help themselves, and most psychological records will show that attitude and drive for education has as much to do with environment as it does talent. You could be a genius, but it wouldn't mean jack smith if you don't have the means to cultivate your talent due to lack of money or support. Personally, I think the government should give handouts to the underprivileged to allow them to cultivate that talent. If they choose not to take that money and use it well, and instead squander it, then that is in support of Legault's argument that it is their own fault. You'd lose there, Ziff. The people got their equal opportunity and didn't take it. You can't blame the corporations for picking the most qualified if the people who are most qualified were given every chance to become qualified alongside every other person's chances. In an ideal world, everyone'd go to the right schools. But the fact of the matter is, some people really don't want to learn, no matter what happens. I wish it were different, but you can't force a kid into a Calculus class, and you DEFINITELY can't force them to succeed.

Both of you: If hundreds of old men can't come to a solution about this damn issue, what makes you think you can?

(as I go on to explain my personal views further... feel free to fire the hypocrisy bazooka at me)

Handouts and a shift to educational purposes are key to equal opportunity's success. But that's not going to happen anywhere any time soon. America is spending their money trying to develop a fucking DEATH STAR, and Legault is complaining about people not helping themselves and being lazy alongside Ziff complaining about them not having the proper facilities to do so. What's wrong here? Oh, right. This is America.
