10-4 good buddy. 👍

Sorry about your friend!

Ironically, when I played the music and read the double-post at talking-speed, as soon as I read "ROUND 1," the round 2 music started.

If you don’t know, the music is from Street Fighter III, and so were the Hugo and Poison sprites. Hugo was my second-favorite SF3 character, with Chun-Li being the distant first.

Thanks.

@Eltesla , technically speaking, if you were to use Heart of Fiery Passion on yourself, since you only have one heart, there wouldn’t be a risk.
• On a miss, you’d sacrifice the 💜, but immediately heal to 🔥.
• On a hit, the 💜 would become a 🔥.
(2hp either way.)

@Eltesla,@Dmbrainiac,

I had originally planned to have Hey Squid attack Dimpled Chad’s cruise-yacht. Poxy would have fallen overboard, ideally giving Lacey an opportunity to be her hero.

Well… that won’t happen, now that she’s an NPC. Lacey will defeat The Bride while you two handle Hey Squid. (So no need to worry about Lacey for the rest of the battle. She will win.)

Then we move to the finals as a team of two, unless I get more players. Assuming you’re still up for Stage 3, I’ll poll for the next adventure early.

One of the choices is based on a 90’s game I discovered recently, thanks to Nintendo Switch. Video added for a frame of reference:

I wonder if you suspect I gave you an intentionally lame choice.

Fem Slashers it is! I’ll start a recruitment attempt.

I will be out of town next week from March 16th through the 23rd. I will not have internet access during this time so I will not be able to post until I return on March 24th. Please bot my character if needed.

@Eltesla , how about a brief pause, and I’ll run a re-recruit until @Dmbrainiac is back?

If we have a new player or two for the finals vs. Golden Boys, yay us. And if not, it’ll be a tag-team match that inevitably turns into a two-on-two.

Sure.

Welcome, @Redcroc !

You already know Brainiac (and you know Brainiac will be offline next week), so you have plenty of time to make the Fairy-or-Damsel choice if we can’t get a fourth player.

I’m thinking that if you decide on a character before Brainiac returns, we can have a little scene where you join the team and maybe buy a "snippet" from Emoticat. (If you read either gameplay thread, Emoticat has made two appearances so far! He’s arguably the most important/helpful NPC in the game.)

@Redcroc , it just occurred to me, you said your preferences are Damsel or Heroine.

Only Damsel is available, so we don’t need to wait, actually! I just added a phone-friendly sheet for the Damsel.

Please go to the character sheets forum and select a DAMSEL character sheet!







The only thing you need to do from there is create your avatar image. Please don’t edit the content of the character sheet itself.

Hi fellow bombshells! I'm excited to throw down with yall.

@Legendary_Sidekick I actually meant Damsel or Fairy, but I'm fine going with Damsel since you made the phone friendly sheet for her already! My Damsel is a new character and unrelated to the old PCs of this type, right?

Yes, new name, new personality, totally different person.

I mean, even the art that inspired her was different blondes-in-red-dresses: Pauline of Donkey Kong, Marion of Double Dragon, Jessica of Final Fight… and I guess the girl from Rampage is "Lunch."

Welcome! Can't wait to beat up bad guys with you :P

@Redcroc The fairy sheet is almost ready. Just gotta replace the mermaid emoji with a fairy.

@Redcroc - Now you have a proper damsel/fairy choice! (And I’m ready for another phone-poster, no matter your choice!)

Woo! Thanks for doing that. The sheets look awesome!

I am starting to lean more towards the Damsel, but I haven't ruled out the Fairy yet. I will make my decision early next week so we can do the little Emoticat scene. That sounds fun AND useful.

My pleasure, @Redcroc! No rush on that choice. We’ll start your character out in the city where the final battle of the Sitkombat tourney is being held!

I think it’s easier to learn by doing, but since the game is paused, it can’t hurt to explain the controls.

@Redcroc


ATTACKING㊙️FIGHT - you decide whether you kick, use a weapon, grab a guy, break a vase over his head if there happens to be a vase, or whatever you think makes sense

☢️SHOOT - you decide whether you cast magic, fire a ranged weapon, throw an unconscious person, or use you Disney-Princessy powers of persuasion to command pigeons and squirrels to attack

Only on very rare occasions will enemies be unreachable to melee attacks or "bulletproof" to ranged. So basically, attack with your best stat.



DEFENDING🕹️DODGE

㊙️BLOCK

I will consistently tell you to "defend yourself" when an enemy attacks.

Sometimes, I might specify:
🕹️DODGE THE ZOMBIE VOMIT!
> > > > >or
㊙️BLOCK YOUR EARS TO TUNE OUT THE WEREWOLF’S STRING OF CUSS WORDS!
…meaning you need to defend in a specific way.

I’ll also tell you if there’s a special consequence for a 💢MISS, or whether you are affected/damaged on a 💥HIT. You are always successful when you roll a 💥💥COMBO.



GIRL POWER🕹️STUNT - you can do something agile, sneaky or alluring as long as you have Girl Power.

☢️MAGIC - you can do something magical by spending Girl Power.

Each B☢️MBSHELL starts with snippets that specify what Stunts and Magic they start with. Emoticat gives you a couple opportunities the create your own Custom Stunt or Custom Magic.

Some stages will unlock Stunts or Magic that can only be used during a certain part of the stage. Example: in Stage 1, any wingless heroine could swing on a vine as a Stunt.



…I hope this will prove to be helpful when we get you in combat sometime after the 24th!
