Video Game Characters in Fantasy Matches

[Hedorah]

player units are at the level of a hard core gamer that takes little to no damage during an entire run

So you can't hurt the character?

[alienhulk2099]

Health bar are not realiable as they can change on difficuty settings.

Did you even read the "set things to max" part?

So you can't hurt the character?

From THEIR universe from what they ALREADY fought.

[Hedorah]

But if they didn't get hurt in their universe, we gotta assume they wouldn't be hurt in another one. See they can't be used

[Gorosaurus Rex]

The majority of recognizeable video game characters are recognizeable enough and have enough stats to make them valid characters. For example, why can't we have an FM of an Xenomorph vs. Ridley? Seems silly not to. However, it should be regulated to just major and named characters.

[alienhulk2099]

See they can't be used

Yes they can, there are things called tier systems, use them. Every character has a maximum skill level and there are opponents that can beat said skill level, which is what the idea of FMs are based on.

See adding Video Game characters is gonna cause so much unnecessary crap that is just annoying to keep track of

Only the game characters that has feats outside of a game. For example, Mario is ridiculously durable and kill his opponents by jumping on them

Thats what I was thinking Goro, but apparently some people don't wanna accept that because they want to allow obscure characters nobody knows.

I keep telling you people we have rule freaking 4 for that.

What "unnecessary crap"? You mean flame wars that EVERY part of these forums gets from time to time?

The solution to that problem is to post a link to stats and or bio.

^ That honestly appears to be what the majority thinks. I dunno, I barely visit the FMs anymore. But if you're going to allow video game characters then they should certainly have some restrictions on them otherwise things just get out of hand. Cloud Strife would be fine in an FM. Mario wouldn't be.

[alienhulk2099]

Mario would be fine as long as proper limits and descriptions of him are given.

[Hedorah]

Nobody is gonna look at the topic if they don't give a shit, that would just create spam basically, I believe AH is familiar with something like this from the old board

I was no spammer.

If you aren't going to look at the topic why would you even CARE?

Ok, my take on this is two very specific rules.

1. Only well known game characters/creatures. No obscure things no one has ever heard of or played.
2. They have to semi-realistic. Which pretty much rules out Mario, Sonic, etc. And a lot of RTS, RPG characters as well, unless they are extremely realistic in how they do combat (No, this attack blows up a building when but only does 5 damage cause I'm level 1 billion).

So basically stuff like Ridley, the Monster Hunter.... monsters, Solid Snake, and Master Chief (though I would specify book or videogame cheif).

Stuff like Mario, Ratchet and Clank, Sonic, and some Final Fantasy are terribly bad.

Where would a Boomer from Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 fit?

Haven't really played too much L4D, so I can't comment on that .

Well he at least seems more realistic/believable then Mario.

A giant fat zombie during the zombie apocalypse? Not very realistic
