So I was thinking, since pretty much every round has started with someone PM-ing me for info on my team, it would probably be nice if each of us in the contention for the finals made a sort of micro RT for our teams, just a scan or two showcasing speed, strength, and durability for each character, and whatever relevant info you feel is needed. I know everyone technically has one for their team introduction, but let's fact it, those are from the beginning of the Scramble (unless you've been writing a new one every time, in which case goddam), and we've all gotten a little more knowledgeable about our characters since then, plus, they are usually more about character than abilities anyway.

It would save time for everyone and lessens the chance that your team will get misrepresented. Just a thought. I'm doing it because my guys are either very obscure or have generally very few feats and are a bitch to research for.

I think I'll call it...

That's odd, I thought generally people would PM the submitters rather than the scramblers. Hell, I knew barely anything about my own team, since I mostly just went off of respect threads and wiki articles.

But yeah, maybe we could gather up material for the characters into one post. Put in respect threads for people who have them, and short feats for those who don't (for example, the boss battle videos for Cirno and Destroyman or the wiki pages for Nuvhok-Kal and Skulduggery).

I was gonna PM all the info I had on my team to whoever ends up facing me in the finals. As obscure as my team is, they're not really that hard to research.

Alice has a RT that covers pretty much everything about her, Destroyman can be covered in two youtube videos that are like 15 minutes combined, Serpico I'm using a wiki for because he still hasn't gotten his wind weapons yet from what i've read like what the fuck, Big Chill has a RT and can basically be summarized as "freeze ghost", Onizuka can be summed up in one anime episode, and Joseph can also be summed up in a few youtube videos.

Meanwhile I still don't even know any of your team members besides Shadow Broker.

B-but so much reading! I thought this was an anime!

Anyway, I've got Big Chill and Detroyman down, Alice has got some nice objective feats that I don't need to know too much SAO for, and I'll see about Jo and Serpico.

I can help with Joseph pretty easily, since like, Jojo's my thing. Just let me know what you'd want to know.

I should be good just googling fights to get his power level. I've already seem him ora-ora-ora-ora with Dio, so I know what's up in that department. It's more his esoteric abilities and personality that I'd need a hand with, plus the extent of what Hermit Purple does for him. But we'll put a pin in that for now, something about hatching chickens before you count them.

He... he didn't fight Dio though. That's Jonathan and Jotaro. Don't worry, I've got enough videos to show you what type of person he is though. TL;DR is that his personality is "LOL I TRIKD U BRO", but in almost toonforce like ways. Should be easy to understand.

u/Parysian ​ Jan 14 '16

Really? the fight with the muda muda muda and the steamroller? Could have sworn someone said that was Dio. Ah well, who he was fighting isn't crazy important anyway. Thanks for the assist.

u/doctorgecko ​ Jan 14 '16

That was Dio, but it wasn't Joseph he was fighting.

God dangit even when I'm right I'm wrong.

u/MoSBanapple ​ Jan 14 '16

If you make it to the finals, I can help with Alice, especially since I doubt more than five people on this subreddit knew who she was before this scramble. The novel translations are at the bottom of the RT.

u/flutterguy123 ​ Jan 16 '16

So man. What are your plans for the next scramble if you win?

u/Parysian ​ Jan 16 '16

Ooh, I'd rather not jinx it before the results come out tonight. But I will anyway. In terms of power level, I'd love to do one tier below Batman or go high with city tier, but either of those could end up being be logistical nightmares. Probably a tier a bit below Spider-Man.

As far as theme, I'm really not sure. I've got some ideas, but nothing concrete yet. It would have to be just right.

But that's all up in the air, I don't even know whether I'll make it to the finals.
