GOD STOP RIDING ME YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

Astral Harmony · 05-16-2011, 05:46 PM

Boy, you'd better do what I say or you won't get anymore Ding Dongs for dessert!

Seriously, who names a snack cake "Ding Dong"?

I mean, don't get me wrong, they're tasty but...Ding Dong? For real, for real?

Tentative Battle Formation:

[Charlotte] [Mirror] [Matthias] [Impact] [Kyrie] [Renny] [Lola]
---[Mio]------------[Cecilia]--[Kurika]---------[????]

Out of formation or non-combatants or unknowns:
Whitney: Still contributing but as sniper.

Jeanette: Unknown position and role
Violet: Unknown position and role
Melanie: Duplicate medic (Not contributing unless she becomes Renny's enforcer)
Pierce and his pokemons: Dying/Dead? (Not Contributing)

Need an enforcer for Renny presumably. Guess it depends on what Jeanette's and Violet's abilities are and whether I choose one of them over Melanie.

Only role we don't specifically have is a Destroyer.

This is just off the top of my head. Obviously if someone else has an issue or preference or if there is other individuals who I am missing, shout it out.

EDIT: Awww shit... I just realized that if I use Mollesk's Intrusion on those two pokebrid's, I'm practically raping Professor Ricewood right in front of her eyes. >_> Well, technically her proxies but... you get the idea...

Of course, it's not like I HAVE to use the move... But if it does, I'm pretty sure Renny is going to get lots of dirty looks from her.

Dracorion · 05-16-2011, 06:47 PM

Use it anyway.

Renny still doesn't know what it does, and ignorance is the best defense.

And after the first use, Pierce and Impact will keep yelling at him to use it because, goddammit man, our lives are at stake here!

Menarker · 05-16-2011, 07:42 PM

Anyhow, while I'm still waiting for more data on the other characters, I got a short-hand idea for a battle plan which I'm putting here so we don't forget.

Basically, we want to avoid getting the numbers go out of hand. So either the clone machine or the Ruin General is our first target. Since Granx can do more actions, create more units in the same time span, has a double weakness and has lower hitpoints, he is the first target to go.

As much as tooting my own horn is a bit in bad taste, Renny is one of the best ones to deal with Granx. Psychic hits that double weakness for quad damage and one of the psychic moves, Psycho Cut, is an increased crit move, which will do 8x damage if it crits due to how crit works with weaknesses. With Renny holding a crit improving item and Lola buffing his crit chance with Dire Hit, he'll have a 50% chance to deal heavy damage. Of course, other psychic attacks should be directed that way too, hopefully to be improved by Mirror's attack booster. Those capable of using instant death moves should hit the clones to lower the number of strong attackers, especially if Renny's attack doesn't crit or otherwise fail to knock out Granx.

Anyhow, gotta go for work. See you all later.

Menarker · 05-17-2011, 09:47 AM

There are a few things including duplicates that stand to mind. Sent you the details to check out.

But I should ask the others about this though. Does anyone have an issue with Jeanette's 100% accuracy ability the way it is now? Combined with her pokemon's OHKO moves, she as a Shock Trooper is practically sure to be capable of almost ensuring 100% chance of knocking out two foes of any strength (unless they are immune to OHKOs such as bosses) and heavily damaging a third every turn. Most Shock Troopers would KILL to have that sort of power/reliability. Unless her availability is limited for a short period of time?

I would suggest, for the sake of balance, making the increase in accuracy double. So she is still the most accurate of all the other attackers, and her pokemons can still use OHKO moves better than most people... But her OHKO moves only have 60% hit rating. Worth the chance of the gamble most of the time, but still pretty fair. Their other attacks will also have a higher accuracy rating including those with 50% accuracy doubled to 100%.

Astral Harmony · 05-17-2011, 12:09 PM

I fixed her Character Skill but that's it for right now.

EDIT: Okay, I modified everything now.

Dracorion · 05-17-2011, 12:33 PM

Her Signature Tech doesn't have a RP cost.

Also, she's definitely not a Destroyer anymore?

Astral Harmony · 05-17-2011, 01:28 PM

Sorry about that. Fixed.

But yeah, she's not a Destroyer. At least not until the sequel or something.

Phew. All I can say is thank god that there's only three more characters to go and we should be done for the whole RP.
