Since everyone else is organising fights...
 
Fan Corner has a lot of topics about fights between various Oddworld creatures (so far we've seen Slig, Mud, Scrab and Paramite fights). I'm a stickler for tried-and-true methods, so I'm going to organise some fighting matches as well. Only there are already a lot of Oddworldian ones, so I'm staging some Earthly ones.

Any special abilities:
Weaknesses: (please be reasonable and give your animal some of these)

That's fine, BD. We just need someone else to join so that the first fight can start!

Can I be Blue? She's probably the only character that I made that I can use.

DH, this is for Earth animals, not Oddworld ones. ;)

DarkHoodness 08-25-2001 05:49 PM

The only other (proper) earth animal I have is Dark Hood. What is it against humans anyway?
Hey, I know! I'll use Capricorn!! :D

I don't get it. We 'create' a 'character', and then they 'fight'? Is the 'creating' process just 'now', or does it have to be an 'accepted figure'?

I'm at a loss for correct words here.

One, Two, Middlesboogie 08-26-2001 10:16 AM

Max, the idea is just like all the Oddworld fights in Fan Corner. Players create a character, and every time I get a pair of them I write what happens in their fight. I'm the commentator, y'see? Although I'm leaving for the French Alps for a week tonight so I might have to ask someone else to do it while I'm away...

And DH, the reason I'm not allowing humans is because we would win most fights due to our superior intelligence.

Anyway...

Welcome to Earth Fights Extraordinaire, with your cliche-using, over-emphatic, bullshit-talking hostess; One, Two, Middlesboogie!

Our first bout is between SilverFyre the wolf, an experienced fighter who is willing to battle to the death, and Capricorn, the sharp-horned pygmy goat with an attitude!

And the fight ensues! Capricorn bleats challengingly, and charges SilverFyre, who doesn't see him coming in time due to her dodgy peeper. And SilverFyre is down, with Capricorn on top! But SilverFyre bounces right back, and bites Capricorn on the nose! Ooh, that made him cross! He's getting ready to charge again! He runs quickly, but SilverFyre runs towards him and leaps over him!

They're both standing back to back now. They both whirl round fast, but SilverFyre turns round faster, and she has the advantage! Capricorn hates all canid creatures, and he wants to finish her off, but she stops him in his tracks with her hypnotic howl! Capricorn is in a trance-like state, and he stays that way while SilverFyre bites him by the scruff of his neck, and tosses her head back with the intent of flinging him out of the ring!

Capricorn slices through the air, and lands in a crumpled heap in the corner! Ooo, that had to have hurt! SilverFyre howls triumphantly; it looks as though she's won! But Capricorn became de-hynotised with the impact of landing, and he gets up shakily, bleats, and charges! Too late does SilverFyre turn round and see him, and Capricorn headbutts her in the side, and she's unconscious! One... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine... ten... she's still down!

The winner is Capricorn!

That surprised everybody! Talk about beginner's luck! :)

And so concludes bout one. I now need two more creatures for bout two. After we've got through sixteen bouts, the winners will be paired off for the quarter-finals.

Heh, I didn't even expect him to win. :) Anyway, I still haven't got round to mesuring him, but I can say that he is about the size of a large dog.

Heh, I thought Capricorn would win. One day on MSN messenger, I crossed his path. Shouldn't have. Not only was I attacked but I got killed(I was brought back to life of course)by him...
I don't think I want Capricorn anymore DH.
Any way, good topic Middlesboogie! :)
