Battle of the Cinematics.

I got some forums lying around somewhere I'd just have to change all the info and such and they'd be ready to go. But the downside is they're on Lycos. Which means one annoying pop-up.

Back on topic I go...I have my block done and everything's good to go my friend made me add some voice clip from my hero which kinda goes with it but the context is all wrong.

whatever man.. just post it so that it can be judged. at first, i didnt know yall were going to go into it w/ music, and voice clips.. but now i know. i really underestimated this contest. my first move was all generic...ehhh:bgrun:

Well, posting that you want a forum here does squat, you have to apply to the people with REAL power, the admins.

I personally don't think we'd need a new forum though, since the Tounament updates and Rules can just be edited into the first post and the Judges, assuming we'd ever actually need to discuss anything, can use PMs.

And, just to update everyone, I've got TFT working now, however I can't even OPEN the WE, so all I can ever do is tell OTHER people to change things lol.

I didn't change the music or anything yet I'm just gonna work on the moves and such, but maybe afterwards you can play around with the music. Your first move was fine and now my block blocks it, although on slowish PCs it might lag a little bit as all the SFX load. So here we have my first dodge....

nice block man. but when i looked at your triggers, you did it a very complicated way, that would make it lag.lol. you have create your FX at a random place like 50 times.lol. but oh well, do whatever ya want.. i guess we now just wait to see if any dmg was done, then you attack.

Well I had done it another way but it didn't really look like a wall at all. I had seven small regions where the tomerecaster effect or whatever would occur but there were small gaps and such. And it didn't look like a wall, more light 7 beams of light from some sort of rock concert. It didn't really lag for me but it would for slower PCs so maybe I should make it the way I had it before that way even the crap PCs can run it smoothly...BRB...K finished...Hrmm I can't attach anything during an edit...

Fine here all done less laggy better? We may never know.

you didnt need to remake it. i didnt lag at all. its just that there are easier ways of doing it.. but oh well. we just now need to wait for magias to judge if i did dmg...

nice defence, i wonder if the simple Energy Beam did any damage at all? BTW, i have an idea.

ROUND 1
P1 attacks P2, P2 Blocks and attacks P1, P1 Blocks

ROUND 2:
P1 attacks P2, P2 blocks and attacks P1, P1 blocks

that way each round P1 and P2 get 1 block\dodge and 1 attack and if you keep building on it, then at the end it will look really good. or you can do it my other way, where it dosnt technicly go in rounds, but again looks much better when its finished, personally i dont like the "P1 attacks P2, P2 Blocks OR attacks" then repeat, cause that means unless P2 takes full damage for 1 attack, he'll never be able to attack P1. Giving P1 a HUGE advantage.

I never said "counter or attack". What I was saying is that the player getting attacked can choose to counter, attack, or both, but it has to be beleivable. In other words, you're not going to do this strenuous blocking trick followed by some giant attack, there has to be a balence between how much of your energy is used on defending and attacking.

What you forget is that there are ALOT of times when the attacked player CAN'T dodge or block the attack. In these cases, when the turns switch he can use 100% of his body on offense, doing a hellish move.

I know there are easier ways but I'm a triggering n00b so I put it together the quickest way I knew how. I decided to remake it because there may be the unfourtunate few who don't have killer PCs like most of us so it's less laggy now.

Could we please get a final once and for all ruling on the player turn system? I'm getting tired and confused by all this whining!!!

OMG this is so confusing. we have so many ppl contradicting each other. i thought it was p1 attacks and p2 has a choice of either to block or counter.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I got TFT today.

As FUNG said, why screw it all up?

Anyways, one thing I thought up in 3 seconds was that why not make a trigger choosing what player to attack first? Like a diceroll.

Ok it's time to end this debate over the player turn system. I've re-read all the posts in this thread dealing with this issue. I guess we can all just vote on which system we want to use...

Option 1: Pheonix's Idea

Player 1 attacks, Player 2 Dodges\Blocks, Player 2 attacks, Player 1 Dodges\Blocks, submitted to judge.

Option 2: Trygve's Original idea

Player 1 attacks, Player 2 Dodges\Blocks or attacks, submitted to judge.

Option 3:

Player 1 attacks, Player 2 Dodges\Blocks, submitted to judge, Player 2 attacks, Player 1 Dodges\Blocks.

Option 4:

Player 1 attacks, Player 2 Dodges\Blocks or attacks, submitted to judge, repeat.

Option 5:

Player 1 attacks, Player 2 Dodges\Blocks or Attacks, submitted to judge, Player 2 attacks, Player 1 Dodges\Blocks.

That's all the variations I found in this one thread so now read em over and decide which ones the best. Some probably are the same basically and if they are I'll delete em but these are the 5 main ones I found.

I vote for my origina. (I guess the tournament will start when this is sorted out)
