[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Now that we've got enough people to run this let's get going! Here's what will happen: each of you (including myself) has been paired with another Otaku based on skill level. [B]It's up to you and the person you're facing[/B] to decide when you'll jump on Brawl and fight. Each match should be a 3 Life Stock Match with unlimited time. You can use [I]any character you want.[/I] As for the stages you guys will be fighting on, they've been predetermined. Desbreko VS Ikillion [b]Stage:[/b] Bridge of Eldin Shinmaru VS 8bit [b]Stage:[/b] Delfino Plaza Matt VS Flo [b]Stage:[/b] Smashville nabgeta VS Treble [b]Stage:[/b] Mario Circuit Additional info can be found in my original post. Reply here when you have the winner. Once all four matches have taken place we can move on to the semi-finals. Happy brawling![/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]Too easy.[/color] [center][img]http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1586/desbrekolinkkz8.jpg[/img][/center][/QUOTE] This is the VG Character [i]look-alike[/i] thread. I don't think it counts if you actually [i]are[/I] that video game character IRL. :P As for me I don't really think I look like any specific character. It's kind of hard to compare yourself to a VG character since they can be so abnormal and inhuman looking (bowser, kirby, etc). Anime is easy, though. If you have the same hairstyle as a specific anime character you basically look like them, hehe.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Well, guys it looks like if we get just one more participant then we can start this as an 8-man round robin tournament! :animesmil Hopefully we won't be waiting too long. Invite your friends![/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]I'll join in if I can get a LAN adapter and set up a wired connection for my Wii in time, provided that actually helps with the lag. Using my wireless connection has ranged from practically unplayable to downright painful and competing in a tournament like that wouldn't be much fun.[/color][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DimGray"][FONT="Tahoma"]Participating in the tournament won't put too much of a stress on your Wii or router, hopefully. I plan on only doing 1 vs 1 matches to make things run smoother. Glad to see a couple already signed-up![/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]So with Brawl finally out, and a couple days of practice time behind us I'm sure most of you are anxious to be playing other OBers (maybe some of you already have) so I decided to create a tournament. It's not going to be anything big or fancy, just a nice tournament for whoever has Brawl to participate in. [center][img]http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6660/smashcopykd6.jpg[/img][/center] To start off, I'll just need you guys (the participants) to post here with your Friend Code, character of choice, and skill level (1 through 5). The five skill levels are just... [LIST=1] [*]Beginner - New to Super Smash [*]Novice - Still getting the hang of this but can hold their own. [*]Casual - Plays often but not obsessively. [*]Expert - Knows some tricks and is very experienced. [*]Elite - A pro brawler. Most likely knew moves like wavedashing in Melee. [/LIST] That'll just help me set up the beginning fights so I don't have a pro starting off against a total noob. Here's my info as a template. [b]Character of choice:[/b] Sonic [b]Friend Code:[/b] 3308-4236-1638 [b]Skill Level:[/b] 3.5 So that's all I need from you guys right now. I know there are already two other Smash Bros. threads but I think if we're going to organize a tournament it'd be best done in its own thread. [center][img]http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/9501/smashtablecopy2xs4.jpg[/img][/center] Participants Friend Codes: [strike][b]8bit:[/b] 3308-4236-1638[/strike] [b]Desbreko:[/b] 1504-5385-2566 [strike][b]Flo:[/b] 0344-9072-1855[/strike] [strike][b]Ikillion:[/b] 3308-4269-7321[/strike] [b]Matt:[/b] 2449-4479-4390 [strike][b]nabgeta:[/b] 5327-0560-5457[/strike] [b]Shinmaru:[/b] 4983-4584-1619 [b]Treble:[/b] 0387-8469-8440[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Sayrin']I claim after Jygglyness =D[/QUOTE] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Just to clarify, [b]you cannot claim if someone has already claimed and they have not posted their piece yet[/b]. This makes it a bit more organized and less filled with claim posts.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Samedi-Mai']ME NEXT! X3 I'll do my best![/QUOTE] [quote name='Boo]As of [color=red][b]03/03/2008[/b][/color] you get a turn in the Graphic Worm if you [b]claim[/b] it. [b]Claim[/b]ing goes as followed: To start off, someone posts their piece for the Graphic Worm. Then a next person reacts to it, mentioning that they [b]claim[/b] the next spot. They then have [b]24 hours[/b] ([b]1[/b] day) to complete their piece in the Graphic Worm. [SIZE="6"][B]As soon as they have done so[/B][/SIZE] (completed and posted their piece) the [I]next[/I] person can [b]claim[/b'] a turn, and so on. [/quote] Seriously, I didn't think I would have to repeat that again. lol And if you want to know why we do this then just look at the example above. Jiggly wasn't done her piece but Sayrin claimed the next spot anyway. Now Jiggly has posted her part but Sayrin is now away and so we're all stuck waiting for Sayrin to come back online (who knows how long that could be), see that Jiggly is done, make his/her piece and post it.[/COLOR][/FONT][indent][size=1][color=LimeGreen][b]Boo - [/b]Thanks for helping them out. I've merged your posts to keep things a bit organized, but to keep the reminder up. :][/size][/color][/indent]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Yay~! Finally done. With Brawl right around the corner I was really tempted to make a brawl-inspired piece but then I started playing Ristar and I couldn't resist. Have at it!

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial][quote=8bit] (Fifteen days until [the US release of] Brawl!)[/quote] Fix'd. [INDENT]:p[/INDENT][/FONT][/QUOTE] [i]Canadian[/i] release, thank you very much! Man, I'm sure most of you have probably seen this by now but here's [url=http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=255]100 Kirby Hats[/url] from VGcats.com[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]So, [B]who here wants to go online with me?[/B] I play Expert Guitar/Bass and Drums and Vocals on Medium (if I'm in the mood to sing, that is). There's some really awesome DLC coming in March. I'm looking forward to the metal pack (Sabbath, Maiden and Metallica ftw) a lot. But mostly I just can't wait to play Portal's "Still Alive." [i]That[/i] will be fun. So what kind of songs have you guys downloaded so far? Also what difficulties/instruments do you play?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]That [i]would[/i] make a pretty hilarious RPG though.[/color][/QUOTE] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Omg, guys. Do it. I would totally join. (Fifteen days until Brawl!)[/FONT] [size=1][b]EDIT:[/b] And I totally shotgun Sonic.[/COLOR][/size]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]"I'm dead. :("[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Oh, I was under the impression that the last thread was the final list. :animeswea Congrats again to all those chosen. And it was nice to see there actually are pretty graphics again (I was worried for a bit, you know) but it would have been nice to invite the entire art community on OB to help like last year. :([/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]The repeats are kind of a drag and I miss the pretty graphics but this years Nifty Fifty was still exciting! I like the sheer amount of suggestions that made it into the final cut. :) Congratulations everyone![/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='Premonition'][COLOR="1234"] Did you hear, they're going to make artificial beavers? Much better than waffles.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] Those already exist in Canada (Ottawa to be more specific). They're called Beaver Tails and they're pretty similar to Waffles but you can get like anything you could possibly imagine slathered on them. Chocolate, strawberries, sugar, maple syrup, you name it. They're delicious. :animesmil As for waffles, I quite enjoy them. I used to eat them like every morning when I was a kid but now a days I have them once a week or so. Nothing like blueberry waffles covered in maple syrup and a small chunk o' butter. Mmm. :drool:[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Alright, click [url=http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/3528/graphicswormcopywo2.jpg][I][COLOR="Silver"][B]here[/B][/COLOR][/I][/url] for my entry. I wasn't feeling the creative juices flowing on this one so it's a little bit messy but I'm sure it will do. While I'm here I'd also like to claim another spot. ^o^[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][B]“So, should we like… appoint a leader?” [/B]said Liir, the young warrior of the Northern Water Tribe. [B]“I don't care either way, to be quite honest."[/B] the newest member of the group, Izoku, spoke up. She relit her pipe and took in more tobacco, holding it in for a reasonable amount of time before breathing it out and continuing her thought.[B] “It seems quite trivial, in our situation.”[/B] [B] “Now, now I don’t really think we need a leader. We can do everything as a group,”[/B] Louie spoke out. [B]“Right now I think we just need to figure out where the heck we are!”[/B] A slight chuckle escaped from someone as Louie finished off the sentence with a very unique swamp accent. [B]“I agree with leaf head,”[/B] said Amaya, the young earth bender. [B]“And I'm pretty sure I know where we are.” [/B] [B]“And that is?”[/B] asked Liir. [B]“Ever since I woke up here I knew this place was different. I can [I]feel[/I] it. We all live so far apart and yet in the time that we fall asleep and wake up again suddenly we’ve all been brought to one place? There’s no doubt about it. We are in the spirit realm.” [/B]She stated. Silence filled the air. People took in what they heard and thought about it. Someone was about to reply but was abruptly interrupted by a sudden rumbling of the earth. Everyone could feel that far down underneath them, something was moving. Amaya glanced at the other earth bender Torin. They could both tell what was coming. [B] “Everyone get ready,” [/B]Amaya said. [B]“Something big is coming up from the ground… And I think it knows we’re here.”[/B][/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]I'm interested in joining Stephen, but I'm pretty new to Avatar. Would this require a fairly in-depth knowledge of the series in order to participate properly ? I've just finished watching the eighth episode as I type this.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]As long as you have a basic understanding of the Avatar universe then you should be fine. We've got a couple people participating who have never even seen the show before. :P[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][quote name='SaiyanPrincessX'][SIZE="1"]For any of you older members who remember TOPAZ, she drew this character about six years ago, so this is my redrawn version. I uploaded her's for you to compare the two.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] Topaz! Do you realize that she was the reason I even found theOtaku/OtakuBoards all those years ago? I was googling for information on my birthstone (topaz) and happened across her art. Since I loved DBZ at the time, I ended up bookmarking theOtaku and later joined OtakuBoards! These drawings bring back good memories. :catgirl: I [i]love[/i] Beyond. The tweaking you did really makes it complete and it's just gorgeous (especially the second picture). I like the third picture in Beyond most just because of the angle and the way the stairs lead your eyes right to the center. I'd like to see more real life pictures you've taken and tweaked. It seems you live in a beautiful area.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I find this [I]thread[/I] rather boring. Couldn't you have thought of something creative to post in an attempt to liven things up here as apposed to just complaining? *sigh* [/COLOR][/FONT]

Although he didn't know it, he was now in the Spirit World. He rubbed his eyes before opening them and took in his surroundings. [i]Just a bunch of trees,[/i] he thought. Then he realized they weren't the swampy trees he was used to waking up seeing. He stood up and looked all around him. He was somewhere in the middle of a forest he had never been to before. How did he wind up waking up [i]here[/i]? Something was up. That's when he noticed several other people waking up around him. Most of them seemed to be around his age, though there were a few that seemed to be fairly young. One girl seemed especially young and, judging by her short stature, Louie figured she was at most 10 years old. Suddenly Louie thought of his pet Gecko Bat and frantically reached one hand underneath his leaf hat searching for Euoo. Sure enough his trusty winged lizard was fast asleep on his hair. Louie sighed with relief, he didn't know what he would do if he ever lost Euoo. In regular Swamp Nomad fashion, Louie treated the other confused people with great kindness and friendliness. None of them knew how they all woke up in the same forest. Louie figured the best thing they could do right now was get to know each other and then come up with some sort of plan to figure out where they were.[/color][/font] [size=1][b]OOC:[/b] And that's that! It's short, I know but I just wanted to get things started. If you need some inspiration on what to write all you need to be doing is trying to figure out where you are. If that means talking to other people then go for it. Feel free to use Louie if you'd like someone to talk to (just keep to his personality!). If you're character isn't very sociable maybe they're just examining the environment to make sense of things. If someone wants to have a sudden epiphany and realize we're all in the Spirit World then go for it. ^o^ Kitty and I will be directing the way the story goes every once in a while but for the most part I want all of us to create the story collaboratively. [B]This will be the only OOC message I'll be posting here. From here on they'll be in the underground thread.[/B][/indent][/size]
