Board 8 > Phoenix-verse TEW Mod Topic 4: Bring it Home

(+) Yeah! (+)

You'll do what you can. No reason to burn yourself out on this.

no reason to burn myself out but I'll probably do it anyway! *finger guns*
(I will indeed figure out something though lol)

the bad news is my RPG was rescheduled and I didn't figure out until we showed up
the good news is that frees up a few extra hours for TEW

the ? news is we also get back on RUMBLES
Today is a giant mashup of ALL the characters on the 1006 sheet. Amusingly, Tidus and Yuna entered at 7 and 8. Twilight Sparkle had a good run from #5. A bunch of undercarders showed up in the endgame....Tenzin gets the big win from #27, last eliminating #26 Rio Ranger. I only looked at the first 24 names in the randomizer to pick a snub, and gave it to Vegeta over Palpatine and Inoki.

DID IT

proud of you for the push!!

DW is boutta pick up a loooot of guests to make roster size lol

On that plus side there're a lot of musou games to choose from for guests at minimum ^__^''''

oh good thinking

I'm hoping to swing it without actually adding any characters I wasn't going to add, so we'll see how that works. Thinking I might have some workers (gasp) shared with other small companies!

The first batch of adds, but not the last!
Axel KH
Frog
Ken Ichijouji
Koga
Prinnies
Rinkah (Sain, Kent)
Setsuka
Tarvek
Wiegraf
Yangus
Haru Okumura (Yosuke, Yukiko)
Nakoruru
Jeanne d'Arc SNK
9 more I think

I like the idea of one per fandom unless that fandom has a Musou game

(Xianghua replaces Setsuka)
Sanger Zonvolt
Aladdin
Dragon Chan
Shampoo
Tien Shinhan
Haggar

still 3 to go lolol

thinking out loud:
DW is a bit short on, y'know, actual DW, so I could promote some/all of their staff and then bring in more ringers for staff.

Also very tempted to use all these imports to beef out the actual Three Kingdoms stables and maybe even enable some minor factions. (Yellow Turbans, Nanman, was probably gonna do FE and Persona ones anyway) Just go full WCW and have the whole roster caught up in like an 8-way stable war cluster****. ....Yeah okay I talked myself into that, pitch your ideas for some of those dudes!

I am having too much fun. Rough draft:

Wei: 6 actual guys, Tarvek, Ken Ichijouji
Wu: 4 actual guys, Aladdin, Axel, Xianghua, Sanger Zonvolt
Shu: 7 actual guys, Frog

Jin: 4 actual guys, Wiegraf
Nanman: 2 actual guys, Nakoruru, Shampoo, Yangus
Yellow Turbans: 1 actual guy, SNK Jeanne, Prinnies, Dragon Chan
Oda???: All 4 Basara reps, Koga

Mementos: All 3 Personas
Outlands: All 3 FEs

Unaligned: Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Tien

And then we'll bring in Kishuna and Tae Takemi as refs for bonus other-Musou rep, and that SHOULD actually fill all our staff needs. We'll have to have some wrestlers multi-task, but there are so dang many that shouldn't be a problem.

Guo Huai instead gets swapped out for Zhang Fei, who missed the cut somehow???

Ok you do need to have the three sworn brothers in there.

I definitely imagine DW being a stable based company like Dragon Gate. So I am all for that change.

Those stables look good to me. Yellow turbans makes sense as the stable full of randoms and the unaligned all feel right.

Only other way I could see is swapping Turbans with a stable run by Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu in it. And then making the Turban leader whose name escapes me unaligned instead.

Currently I imagine Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo as rivals trying to create their own stables and being confused why everyone doesn't want to join them.

And if he isnt already Lu Bu should be the initial champion.

That occurred to me but I didn't have a catchy name and I am fond of the Yellow Turbans :P

Lu Bu is almost certainly gonna be champ ye

I feel like CPU made me promise no Zhang Fei, or something, and I forgot. Or maybe it was Semi with 1006, since I think this roster was pretty much a copy/paste job

I mean he was terrible but he is rather important.

Just give him alcoholism

Oh I just think Liu Bei is a piece of shit and hate the idea of having him in, no real issues with Zhang Fei or Guan Yu.

gotcha

I kinda wish I had planned another 20 or so actual DW people but I ain't adding them in after I've already started, so oh well. Do kinda wonder what my logic was though, like I don't even know Wang Yi but have her over several Wei people I actually like, or like Guan Yuping over Zhang Fei. Maybe I was aiming for a women's division at some point and forgot Zhen Ji and Diaochan existed.

also every dang fed I make I think "man I should get back into that" but it has hit extra hard on the Soul Calibur and Three Kingdoms

oh actual important note: I'm using people's given names for their Short Names with DW. Too many duplicate family names, full names are too long, and like heck if I or the average player will be likely to memorize like 30 style names.

I thiiiink Wang Yi might've been someone I put in back in the group version of this, back when I was in the middle of WO3.

That would indeed make sense!

Pretty sure she is the knife throwing lady. She is very fun in the games.

And I'm sorry CPU but you can't cut Liu Bei, he is to important.

*glances at certain cuts we've made over the last few months*

...Normally I'd say we could find a replacement, but my vitriol toward the bastard has waned a bit over the years. Not worth getting mad at anymore.

And the knife gal is *Yuanji*, who is also pretty rad. Yi's the woman that hates Ma Chao and had a couple grapples in the Warriors Orochi games/ presumably 7 and 8.

just plain didn't really get to it today and things went south when I tried for the ol' last minute push, 0.5/6

getting back on track should be unpleasant but doable

Oh that lady. I havent really played her much at all.

they're both in btw

Yesterday was uphill but we done did it. On to MvC (which is a slight misnomer as it's fighting games in general with no Marvel involved, but whatever man)

okay who likes tekken

I had King and Heihachi in. King can't be in both this and B8WL, and I'm very reluctant to take him out of B8WL as I already had to stretch pretty hard to make their quota (hence, y'know, having King in there after two guest matches)

If nobody cares I'll either promote Mokujin or make that Jin guy that got into Smash. Yoshimitsu is similarly ineligible, Gon has 0 pop in the area, and I don't think anybody else is in.

I'm partial to Julia or Michelle Chang, Asuka Kazama, Emilie "Lili" de Rochefort, Leroy Smith, or Bryan Fury. ...If we're going big representation Jin or Kazuya makes sense although I'm sick of the damned Mishima family in general after 7 at this point.

Again, need anything on fighters from the early/mid '00s (that isn't Virtua Fighter because pfffft), please let me know. Grew up with them and light gun shooters in arcades. ^_^'''

brain wins, 2/7

I feel like the tekken wrestlers should really be in the mod. Those being King, Armor King, Marduk, and Jaycee (Julia Cheng as a luchador). Marduk being the least important as just a Goldberg clone.

Are both Kings currently in this? They are two different people. Armor King is the original King and the other King is King 2. You could do one in B8WL and one in Tekken.

Jin, Kazuya, and Heihachi should be somewhere as well. Same with Paul and a Jack.

Personally dont care about Michelle, or Lili and dont even know Leroy. Asuka and Bryan Fury are cool though. Would love to see any of Bob, Eddy Gordo, and Kuma, as personal favs.

...Wait when was Armor King the original King? I thought the original King was dead, unless Tekken 7 retconned that. It's Marduk so I really do not care enough to check.

If Paul's in, I'd suggest Hwaorang as Jin's... former rival? Again, heck the Mishimas, but...

Trying to avoid suggesting adding folk at this stage, and with how things have been going, otherwise I would've been... a bit louder with the Dynasty Warrior factions. @_@

Right thanks, I don't really play Tekken so it's kinda a "well we should have SOME rep" slot and I don't really have much room to add people to this block...just had one more slot to fill than I realized. Julia and Jin seem to be the closest we have to consensus?

Promoting: Sagat, Taokaka, Morrigan, Mai Shiranui, and Goro. Probably some staff later.

Jin Kazama is the Ryu of Tekken. So it should probably be him.

No one cares about Marduk.

Also you are right and also it's even messier. There are two Kings and two Armor Kings and the first of each is dead. I merged King 1 and Armor King 1 in my mind.

To make it worse according to the TEKKEN lore I looked up Armor King and King both chose their names and jaguar masks without knowledge of the other one existing which is just too much coincidence. And that's why they were rivals.

Also Armor King and his older brother Armor King (2) were a tag team that looked identical and both were just called Armor King. Who wrote this bio?!

oh hey it looks like they finally all settled on Poison being (awkwardly handled) trans, that's fun

Sleep wins, 3/6

gonna leave me at 2/6 today as well lol
leaving a lot of stuff for the back half of this fed, but it's SPRING BREAK BAYBEEEEE so not worried yet

Bridget: Male, unless I'm missing something
Testament: Non-binary but you can't be that in TEW so.....I'll go male, I guess? Saw an old screenshot where he/him is used

ryland give us better gender/sexuality options in tew 2024 challenge

Yeah on the first, not missing anything ^_^, and... yeah, handlin' Testament's gender with TEW's limited options is not the best time. @__@

speaking of limited TEW options, Dizzy is 21 now, congratulations

almost everybody else is "age unknown" which annoys me

Swapping Akira and Batsu- both are still in, but I figure Akira is probably a bigger deal after getting into SF and thus should get a slot

Akira's been popular as heck- (In terms of Rival Schools, I mean. And... relative, all that.) smart choice, really. And considering Kyosuke made it into Capcom vs SNK 2 instead of Batsu... yeah. ^_^' There was Tatsunoko Vs Capcom as well but... *Wii title*. >_>'''

...Entirely too late for this, I should've brought this up ages ago but one of Shermie, Angel (KoF) or King of Dinosaurs/Tizoc would probably make sense for KoF reps since they're all wrestlers and more popular than Raiden is at this point.

I think Tizoc is the only one of that group I've heard of but you could talk me into giving Raiden's slot to one of them if they're a wrestler

The thing is all three are a different variety of wrestler. Shermie's a Joshi/Puro focus in her moveset, very suplex heavy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVU7oPWh0go), Angel's- Angel is very American wrestling/actively got a bunch of the Rock's moves, (would post a demo video but this is the best I can do) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzy8Foy-qa8), and Tizoc's the prototypical heavyweight luchador. KoD's his legit heel persona in XIV/XV.

Comcast, actually, gets the win today, 0/7 unless it comes back up real soon

DAMMIT COMCAST >_<
