>>43789165
The Benefactor, what are you going to do about it?

>>43789108
Is that a Chrono Trigger reference I see?

So where exactly am I supposed to get this many demons to just dump on whichever setting I'm in?

>>43789189
Would "Chrono Cross is canon" be a 0 CP drawback, or do people dislike what it did to the story enough that it would be a joke drawback that gives you eleventy-bajillion points?

>>43789210
Chrono Cross does so much different with the story that it's really not even the same setting. You could probably do an entire separate jump for it.

>>43789205
Okami's Demon Blood lets you create demons from your blood. Bloodborne is chock full of perks for doing wacky things with your blood. After that, it's just a matter of becoming sufficiently huge-DC, Pacific Rim, FF10 and FF12 are good starts

>>43789210
Some people actually like Chrono Cross.

I like Chrono Cross.
I mean, I don't think it makes a good SEQUEL, and it's a flawed, PS1 Era jRPG wrought with confusion, but it's cool and fun and had some neat ideas. And I did genuinely like it.

It just has the misfortune of being attached to Chrono Trigger, which has a lot of expectations and a devout fanbase.
But, taken on its own merits, I think it's a really interesting game.

Anyway, I agree with: >>43789225
The settings are sufficiently different, and do things so extremely differently both in tone, setting, and mechanics, that they would be better served as two entirely separate jumps.

Still pretty pissed off about the Dream Devourer, though.
I mean, seriously, what the fuck was that, Square?

>>43789342
I've only read the LP for Chrono Cross, and I sincerely enjoyed laughing at it.

The characters are absurdly quirky even by JRPG standards. Like the clown girl who's secretly a dragon goddess. Or the skeleton clown.

I've been reading through the Light of Terra DLC and I've come across something that puzzles me.
The description of the Yeld Spyrer armor mentions laser tubes built into the gauntlets.
Now my question is to ask: What the hell is a laser tube?

>>43789490
It's a tube that shoots lasers. Presumably some sort of resonant cavity like is used in some radar systems, only tuned for the visible spectrum instead of microwaves.

>>43789225
>>43789342
I agree. I'm not planning on combining the two, although if I do a Chrono Cross Jump (which won't be until after Parasite Eve), I'll include a standard +0 "your actions carry over" drawback in CC. Well, probably more a "your actions carry over unless they've changed things so much that Chrono Cross is now impossible, in which case there will be an Angelus Errare that lets you travel to that version of the universe instead" +0 CP drawback.

>>43789210
Unfortunately, the fall of Guardia is canon and within the ten year period from 1000 to 1010. But you can feel free to pretend anything after that is non-canon.

The LP does a really good job of showcasing all the things Chrono Cross does wrong. And believe me, there is a lot of shit Chrono Cross does wrong. It is a Flawed Game.
But there's also good number of things it does RIGHT.

For one, if you ask just about anyone who actually likes the game, the two things they're going to tell you right off the bat is that the game is atmospheric as all get out, and that it has an absolutely gorgeous soundtrack. They NAILED those two aspects. And it's sadly something that just can't shine through in a picture LP.
Walking through that world, there's a lot of places that I found myself wishing I could just BE, spending time there. Except the pirate ship. FUCK THAT PIRATE SHIP.

I also think that the story, sometimes despite itself, still holds together pretty well right up until you fight FATE.
After that the whole plot takes a hard left turn into Evangelion territory and never lets up on the fucking gas.
But until that point it does pretty okay.

About a year ago, a friend of mine had just recently come to the endgame of Trigger for the first time, and was excited to play the sequel. I prettymuch leapt on them to give them this same spiel.
Because it's really not the same game as Trigger, and I've always felt a little sad that people judge it so harshly based on that.
There is a lot to make fun of, but based on its own merits, taken by itself, I think it's a pretty good game.

Spyrer Armor is on my list of things to reverse engineer once I get out of LoT. The shits crazy. Self sustaining, self repairing and it evolves along side its user. Shits crazy useful.

>>43789490
>>43789536

Alternatively, it's a tube that fires tubular lasers with a hole in the middle.

Stylish and distinctive blast patterns for the discerning assassin.

>>43789876

It's always a bit interesting how the design of 40k gear is so obviously influenced by the need for it to be possible to make for a miniature.

>>43789968
What's the advantage of a tubular laser as opposed to a circular laser? It'll leave the exact same shape, except with a charred chunk in the center.

I'd much rather go for a deadly triangle beam myself.

>>43789968
>>43790042
Just looked it up. Seems to just be some sort of laser gauntlet. Maybe a fore arm mounted laser cannon? The armor evolves around you so it may vary.

>>43790042

Pah, triangle beam scum.

Anyway, I can't think of any real advantage, it's possible that having a hollow space inside will enhance or improve the efficiency of the blasting effect of a laser pulse - but that's pulled right out of my ass.

>>43790086

Well yeah, I mean it's clearly a laser rod. You could call that a tube though, it's not necessarily wrong if the tube is full.

>>43789667
I agree. I wouldn't be contemplating a Jump of the game if I didn't enjoy the hell out of it, despite all of its flaws. It's just kind of unfortunate that it tries to live up to Chrono Trigger instead of being its own separate entity.

Oh, and falling into the familiar trap of trying to tie up all the loose ends at the very end of the game, but running low on development time before the game is finished. And trying to tell an Eco-friendly fairy tale in a lush and colorful world where humans and human creations spent centuries restoring the pristine wilderness after it was almost wiped out by non-human activities.

Sorry, that last part always bugged the hell out of me.

>>43790143
You'd think a rectangular shape would be most preferable, to maximise the surface area of the weapon's impact. It's already a concentrated ray of plasma, might as well zorch away

>>43789667
I like Chrono Cross too. It's sad that the CT fanbase is such a hateful one.

>>43790392
Why would you want to maximize surface area? You want to focus as much energy in one area as possible for greater penetration.

Even the regular Imperium Lasgun has enough punch to make craters in concrete. Eldar lasguns are even more powerful than that due to psychically grown crystals and more advanced technology. Just reason why they're flashlights is that lasguns are practically worthless as they don't have any armor penetration. They're really watered down versions of their Dark Age of Technology designs. Then again everything is.

>>43790994

>>43791933

You bet I do.

>>43789165
I did. I baked the cookies. I made a whole goddamn jump about cooking, just so I could make good food. I damn well am going to take a cookie from the cookie jar.

>>43791933
Nah, I picked up Pictor's key in Fairy Tail.

Eldar have a melta laser that basically microwaves you from inside out.

Do jumpchains HAVE to start in Pokemon? I'm considering trying this out, but I know too little of pokemon to do anything with it.

If not, what would /jcg/ recommend as an alternate starting point?

>>43793076
Ranma 1/2. It's a great way to get both a copycat style, which you could always use, and an at-will genderswap.

>>43793076
I would suggest Harry Potter. Because it's a relatively low danger setting that won't get you killed unless you get involved in the main plot or stay in Britain.

>>43793076
You don't have to start in Pokemon, but if you don't you can never go.

>>43793076
I believe you can skip Pokemon but you can't take it afterwards. As for alternate starts, probably inFamous. Power level isn't ridiculously high, you get a free power, and the perks are great for all around beginner buffs.

>>43793076
No, but most people agree that you can't do Pokemon if you don't do it first.

>>43793215
>>43793221
>>43793223
Why is the consensus that you can only take it as your first? Is there something that you could break in the Pokemon world by having some other powers?

>>43793250
Because QS, the man who made it and the entire concept, said so.

>>43793273
Oh. Fair enough

>>43793250
No.

Pokemon was the first jump and it's something the guy who started this all said at one point. Why he said it is some subject for debate and a lot of people don't really like the rule but it's not a big enough deal for people to get too upset about it. It's also as good a jump to start in as any.

I think the reasoning was that Pokemon explains the premise and explains that the jumpchain is a reward for completing it. This however doesn't hold water as you can still skip Pokemon meaning you skip both the explanation and the thing you supposedly had to do to get the rest.

Really you can ignore it and nobody'll get annoyed, just don't start crowing about it in thread.

>>43793319
They'll get annoyed if you post about it in thread, so you're lying to him.

>>43793357
>just don't start crowing about it in thread.
>They'll get annoyed if you post about it in thread

Good job disagreeing champ.

>>43793415
Then why is it relevant to mention 'people won't get upset'?

Does the Pokemon Rebreather allow you to breath in space?

>>43793319
>>43793357
As far as I'm aware, people only get annoyed if you use the fact that you hit Pokemon late to do bullshit like catch an entire team of Legendaries and make them into Companions.

...which you can do anyway with Return, so whatever.

>>43793447
It's based on what Misty used to breath underwater. A rebreather filters the water to make oxygen you can breath.

>>43793250
Never worry about breaking anything in Jumpchain. Breaking worlds is some jumpers raison d'etre.

>>43793486
The Jump says it allows you to breath in Toxic environments, so i asked.

>>43793532
Space isn't toxic. It lacks air entirely.

>>43793545
And even if you could breath, you'd probably get the Bends

>>43793576
How would that even work? The bends require pressure differences in depths of water and how it reacts with nitrogen in the blood.

>>43793545
Nevermind about breathing, think of the radiation poisoning

>>43793679
No pressure in space. Oxygen and water will bubble and 'boil'.

>>43793941
Top Gear jump when?

with "punch producer whenever there's no food" drawback

>>43794022
There's also Redline, and several jumps with cheap perks that are just "Drive better".

>>43794038
I think OAA was working on it.

>>43794038

>>43794053
Damn what is with OAA's internet? we need all these jumps that he is doing.

>>43794072
I think we should just come to an agreement now that if it's ever discovered OAA is dead, we'll steal the computer from his next of kin and upload it ourselves. At this rate, it seems the more likely outcome than him ever getting decent internet.

Alternatively someone could buy him a USB and he can send it to one of his friends through the local library or McDonald's with free wifi.

Gentlemen, we're in a bit of a predicament. Earlier today on reviewing Light of Terra we found that a 51 does not, as we somehow initially though, equal Healing Hands. It in fact means "roll 1D6 Wyrd Powers", or 6 in our case.

The results-Float, Weapon Jinx, an extra Lucky Aura and uh...three consecutive Psychic Blade rolls. I wish I had the foresight to screencap the Dungeons & Dragons dice roller to prove it, because I can't quite believe it either.

To compound things further, we'd already rolled one Psychic blade so. Yeah

The question remains: What the blazes would Psychic BladeX4 be like?

>>43793941
EX Rank in Riding from Fate. That, and Fast & Furious/Bubblegum Crisis/Redline jump.

Generic Horror Movie has a perk that gives you lots of blood, iirc.

>>43794352
Godzilla can give you radioactive blood, and replace it with lava.
Pacific Rim can give you Kaiju Blue blood.

>>43794352
Hellsing is the obvious answer.
Dragon Age has Blood Magic, though I doubt that's what your looking for.
You can learn some cool blood powers during your time in Vampire the Masquerade, though they aren't offered on their own.

Do we have a Castlevania jump? That should have some good Blood Based Powers.

>>43794352
Charles Barkley's Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden has a perk that turns a small percentage of your blood into Gatorade.

Darkstalkers has blood magic too, with more shapeshifter stuff

Legend of Spyro's dragon supplement can turn all your body parts into potential magical reagents

You may or may not want to avoid the chaos origin in Webmage, which turns your blood into primordial chaos

Jump #01: Pokemon

Name: Diamond Paige.
Age: 16
Region: Orre
Gender: Male
Small Town (-50CP)
Actual Starter (Free)
- Torchik
Freerunning (-100CP)
Mechanic (-150CP)
Technician (-300CP)
Pokeglot (-600CP)

----Items & Equipment----
3X Master Balls (-100CP)
50K Pokedollars (-50CP)
Collapsible Baton (-100CP)
Medical Kit (-50CP)

----Flaws & Drawbacks----
Damned (+300CP)
Marked (+200CP)

First off, I immediately hightail it for Cresselia's Island so I can get Darkrai to fuck off. I expect this to take something like a year, mostly occupied by my first few encounters with Cipher and getting the money to travel by working as an adventuring mechanist and technician.

I expect I spend the next four years traveling, fending off Cipher, and evolving Blaze. (Yes, I am bad with names, how could you tell?) I might have also accidentally started more then a few gang wars during this time as well.

The next four years are spent in Hoenn, collecting rumours, sightings, and general hear say. My goal? Capturing Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre.

The last year is spent going back to where it all started. By this point, Orre should have its own little league, which I will pretty much wreck. I also spend this year taking the fight to the crime empire that Cipher had become.

>>43793076
>I'm considering trying this out, but I know too little of pokemon to do anything with it.
I didn't know shit about it when I jumped it, and I still don't know about it some months and hundreds of jumps later.

For my build I just looked at the doc, and asked questions in thread. If your'e so inclined, you can do the same. My point is that you do not need to know anything about a setting to jump jump.

>>43794352
Also there's a 40k jump that replaces your blood with razor blades/acid/whatever else. Dawn of war maybe?

>>43794719
That's an interesting approach. I generally try to at least get a feel for a universe and its characters for a bit before I decide on my builds. Sometimes I find something really worth playing/watching/reading this way, which I think is a plus. Knowing the general power-levels for a world will really do you some good, you know? I'd have tried going with The Infinite from Bayonetta if I didn't check it out first.

>>43794834
Eh? We don't have a Dawn of War jump but that does sound like a chaos mutation from Dogs of War

Last thread gave me the idea of making an US Abyssal fleet that would give Japanese shipgirls the maximum amount of salt.
>USS Enterprise (CV-6) Enterprise vs Japan. Guess who won.
>USS Washington (BB-56) Sank Kirishima in a 1v1, didn't take a single casualty throughout the war.
>USS Arizona (BB-39) Sunk and ready for revenge.
>USS Harder (SS-257) Ate DDs for breakfast.
>USS Sealion (SS-315) Sank Kongo while she was in a task group with Nagato, and Yamato.
>USS William D. Porter (DD-579) Say what you will but she was scarily good at anti-air.
>USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413) Everyone knows this one by now.
Funny thing is Enterprise and Arizona being Abyssals would probably turn public opinion against Japan since if those two are Abyssals then the rest of the Abyssals are probably US ships as well. Which explains why there's so many of them...

Anyway anyone know an US Cruisers that would make the Japanese salty?

>>43794838
Well, jumps are supposed to be crafted in such a way that you can survive the vanilla, drawback free, jump with just what's offered in the jump. WIth some settings that's hard.

But as for the blind jumping, jumping somewhere you no nothing about, that's half the fun for me. I like the fish out of water, Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs court experience. Thinking about what I'd do in a jump after I've done my build makes it a bit more real for me, if that makes any sense.

Hey Jumpers, what do you use as a base for yourselves and your companions during your jumps and your off-time?

I'm thinking of getting the Tower Seed from Ar Tonelico, but that shit's expensive, since I didn't take the Origin Background. Thoughts?

>>43794881
San Francisco and San Diego come to mind as the most decorated heavy and light cruiser respectively.

>>43794861
Speaking of Dogs of War, how does the "race/class" thing for those work? Is it possible to buy more than one (of the sensible options, obviously; Blood Dragon and Knight Errant, say, rather than Orc and Skink, though Orc and Skeleton might work)? Do they come with attached lifetime memories, and if so, where's the drop-in option?
How does the companion import option even work? Do you just give them a race/class and none of its perks? Do they get the race/class and all the free perks for it? The latter seems like a better option, in that you don't end up with lizardmen having no issue with the cold, mages who can't cast, undead who... aren't, etc, but it kind of throws the whole thing with varying point costs out.

We use the Bhunivelse simulacrum from FF13-3 as a crib. Just chillax in our hovering technognostic command center with our companions, and throw things at the peasants when we get bored.

Took ages to adjust the spell in order to fit a hot tub, minibar and row of arcade machines on there, though.

>>43795116
The Onsen from Tenchi Muyo or the Hollow from Changeling. I keep small groups of companions, so we don't really need anything big.

The Metal Gear solid jump has an Oil Rig you can plop down if you need something huge, and the Light of Terra has both a Light of Terra and a Pre-emptive Retalitation for free. Neither are reality warping supermachines, though.

We live in a haven bag when traveling or starting out in a new world. Its a very nice sack, but its still a sack and space is quite limited. We considered changing to a more 'open' plan that would save some space since privacy is a long dead concept in a hive mind but decided against it for various reasons mostly related to where would we put our posters without the screens we used as walls?

>>43795116
>but that shit's expensive, since I didn't take the Origin Background.
It's still cheaper than taking the background. Unless I'm misreading something, the advantage to the background is that you get a copy of the tower attached to the warehouse, where you can keep stuff between worlds, including fancier modifications to the tower than the seed can grow itself it seems.

>>43789876
Is that a sword or a gun?
>>43795116
My Mega man stage is basically Pic related With more high schools And I plop the tower down on the outskirts Which in turn serves as a docking port for the LoT in longer jumps

>>43793486
Rebreathers aren't for filtering oxygen from water or the atmosphere, they are for literally rebreathing your breath, adding back the tiny amount of oxygen you use from a much smaller storage than something like a SCUBA tank. They're not what are used in pokemon, which might actually be a gill-like apparatus, but you wouldn't call that a rebreather. Since lot's of the things on the gear list aren't from pokemon, I'd assume it's what it says it is, not what's in the show. And yes, Rebreathers work in space.

Creative use of Olympian Demense andtheotheroneIdon'trememberthenameof Combined with too many warehouse expansions, plus wildly liberal abuse of size charms from HP, have led to the main area of the warehouse being the size of a small city.
It's a fantastic base, and freaking out people by opening up a portal to the top of olympus mons is always hilarious.

Heavy cruisers Astoria, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Northampton, Pensacola, Portland, Vincennes and light cruiser Atlanta all took part in the battle of Midway, a loss for the Japanese.

Of those cruisers: Minneapolis sank the Takanami at a later date.
Pensacola & New Orleans bombarded Japanese land positions later in the war, Portland seems to have taken out the Mogami though that's not certain?, Vincennes used deck bombers to take part in the Doolittle raid, and the Atlanta sank the Akatsuki in a night attack.

What is the safest drawbacks to get an extra 600 points? I mean, NTL problems seems like an instant death.
I really want that science perk, along with adaptability with song science.

Anyone know?

Sometimes the Van Hellsing castle, which my companions and I have gotten incredibly good at modifying.

Sometimes a flying train with magically enlarged rooms.

Both of them look undefended, but have powerful forcefield generators, and can digistruct whatever weapons would be best against whoever or whatever is attacking.

Also thanks to God of War my warehouse is like a tropical island, which is nice.

>>43795452
Well yeah, astronauts have them incorporated into space suits. So if you account for the other problems, the rebreather works just fine.

Oh please you wish your high school Was designed to bootstrap civilization to the next two a half technology levels,Had AI teachers Capable of giving Every student the personal attention they need,and Gave the choice between introductory magic Or Expanded PE class Where you would learn things like, déjà fu, school of the undefeated of the East Sinanju,or, anything goes martial arts

>>43795730
At the expense of you having anything to do with it?

No fucking thanks. I'll take my bible-thumping, football-obsessed high school run by a fashion Nazi any day of the week.

>>43794352
Oh, and there's Bloody Curse from Valkyrie Profile. It does a lot of things. Here's the description:
>Bloody Curse (400 CP)(Discount Undead)
For creatures without any, the Undead seem to have quite an affinity for blood. You could just consume it for a weaker version of soul eating, but it has so many more uses. You can summon and manipulate it, use it to cast spells, or even cause it to explode. Because of its magical nature, this blood is much harder and sharper when solidified or put under high enough pressure than it has any right to, somehow equaling divine weapons in cutting power, and the energy its releases equal to that of magic. Flying sickles of blood, a quickly traced ritual circle, or an exploding geyser of blood are just a few uses of this power, and the inventive will discover many more.

>>43795762
>fashion Nazi

Say whatever else you want about them, whether you're /pol/, Tumblr, or anywhere in between, but one fact remains:

Those guys knew how to dress in style.

>>43795730
>>43795762
Man I'll even take common core on top of that over you.

Worm Anom, are you willing to let me know if some of my Skitter applications of friction mastery would work? I'm thinking about taking the drawback that replaces her with me if I'm OP enough.

>>43795804
Nono, not Nazi fashion.
Fashion Nazi.

As in, I got sent home because my shirt was the wrong shade of blue and my pants were too green.

>>43795494
When i asked, which was, like, a hundred threads ago, nobody said no.

>>43795840
Ouch.

>>43795879
Jokes on them.
They wanted me to change clothes and come back.

I stayed home.

>>43795804
I wonder if there's an alternate universe in Worm where Hugo Boss never existed, so the Nazis get remembered as a POORLY DRESSED totalitarian regime of racists while the Communists are grudgling admired for their inexplicably stylish winter coats.

>>43795875
Hola Yakuza. Any progress on the jump you share your name with?

>>43795795
how strong are divine weapons?

>>43795563
Yeah, but that's beside the point; the bought seed is less good than the Origin granted one.

>>43795951
Been trying to hunt down the thread where it was last brought up. There were some ideas that i can't really remember.

>>43795730
No thanks, Bancho, we've all seen what you do to kids.

>>43796085
Doesn't that support my point that Origin is better?

How hard is it to convince Yuugi to snuggle with me in Touhou without any perks? I'm serious. Would Friends with Saitama be enough, or would that cause pic related to like me instead?

Bancho. You want sharp edges? Here's a typical Dark Eldar raider. Note the edges. Also note that the armor has razors inside, that dig in every time they move. Now that's edgy.

Take it from me, I'm expert on edge.

>>43796123
That Origin was better was never in question, though?

>>43796117
Oh children at my school's are given counselingTo help them respect the physical boundaries of their peers. You know like a high school that isn't run by an evil overlord.

Yes, yes you are.

>>43796136
...Friends With Saitama is a perk, anon. I'm not sure what you mean.

Look, buy her a drink and challenge her to an armwrestling contest. If your arm is still attached by the end of it and if it's a good drink, I'm sure she'll be somewhat interested at least.

>>43796209
>You know like a high school that isn't run by an evil overlord.
That's funny.

>>43796229
Nono, he's right-evil overlords have /some/ standards. Only the most flat-out retarded would stoop to Bancho's level of singleminded spite.

Bancho's highschool is more like a Scientology cult where Tzeentch and Slaanesh fight over who gets to be the principle.

>>43796209
Tera stop. You won't convince anyone that you're not a terrible person who should be in an asylum.

You and kids should never interact.

>>43795875
Well, that changes what happens in my jump then.

That sounds like it might be good fun. Problem with Bancho is the victim complex and the self sanctimonious bullshit, most people don't really have a problem with the evil on its own.

>>43796303
See >>43796274, it has to be emphasised that the Jumpers who style themselves after shonen villains are being seen as more preferable than you being in charge of anything.

Ah yes, the self-destructive element of Chaos. How could I have forgotten who Bancho's true patron of Chaos is?

>>43796219
I should have been more clear. It's a perk that doesn't mindrape people into liking you. You'll end up making a good impression on powerful people with it, but they won't suddenly want to be on your dick. It's not messing with their heads. My snuggling with cute oni must be pure, not creepy rape.

Am I allowed to use the arm from my super robot? Yuugi is the physically strongest person in Gensokyo. My arm would be through the center of the Earth after that match.

>>43795180
You choose a race, then choose one of the available classes for that race. You can only choose one class and it needs to be one available.

I remember the last time this came up, someone tried to post a build where they were something ridiculous like a chaos vampire skaven liche trollslayer and Babylon 5 Anon had to clarify.

Companions get to choose a class for free, and they do get the perks available to the race and class they get - given that they are companions and a lot weaker than the jumper it isn't a massive power boost for them.

My doctors Tell me otherwise and I think you folks aren't doctors.

>>43796350
By Jove, you're right! Surely Bancho's educational programme is a liberated scheme where art is marked by lobotomy-offs, PE consists of 20 kids thrown in a pit for a week until only one survives by devouring the others for their strength and math is taught with imagination, where 2+2 can equal 5 if kids really believe it should-

-OH WAIT.

>>43796136
Pick being her Servant and they should come naturally.

>>43796385
I don't think your doctors get to read your fantasy wish fulfillment escapism where you slaughter universes for your victim complex and torture school girls for shits and giggles.

>>43796362
Honestly you're probably better off stacking strength before you get there. She might just decide to snuggle with the robot instead.

That, or biomechanically fuse with your robot.

>>43796385
I have to wonder what your doctors would think about your plans to sterilise and lobotomise children from a SoL anime.

Guys can you stop why do you keep replying to him if you don't like him?

>>43796385
Blackguard! You're denying those children the freedom to kick each other in the shins and pull their hair! You're denying the inalienable right to give your fellow man a wedgie!

YOU SIR ARE AN AUTOCRAT AND AN ENEMY TO FREEDOM.

>>43796461
No, he's autistic and incapable of learning that things are wrong unless it is screamed at him and beaten into him with a sledgehammer.

We're making him a better sub-human, one thread at a time.

>>43796449
I don't do either of those things! ! Have a plan to kill a multi-verse Because it is evil and I didn't torture her just modify her To remove her libido Because she was a Child molester not for any personal satisfaction, and I did so humanely !

>>43796497
Are you sure there are any results at all?

>>43796461
Because I don't ever want him to feel like he's accepted here. And hopefully, that will convince him to leave once and for all.

He's said he'd leave for good several times in the past, and then came back under another trip called ManlyManon. Just hope the third time's a charm

>>43796510
No, he's still as stupid and wrong about everything as always but at least this is entertaining to see him dig a hole deeper and deeper.

Really I wish he'd go away from the threads forever but he'll never leave, he's like a disease. I mean look he's even going off again on how being a child molester makes him a good person.

>>43796500
>kill a multiverse

You are either talking about the multiplayer shit you tried to pull, which is proof you are not, in fact, trying to improve. Again: I need to emphasise we all like the guy you try to paint as your archenemy far better than you.

Or you are talking about an actual canon multiverse, in which case the blood of every innocent being in it is on your hands no matter what you say.

>>43796362
*I Do not Endorse this plan*
Well, if you are ok with moral ambiguity and fucking up a universe to an exponentially bad degree. Grab one of those power-steal type perks, then nom Superman. Then pick up being a Star from Narnia, (Just don't take the Last night drawback, Aslan will murder you)
Kryptonian powered by his own solar radiation.
Something like 700 quadrillion tons lifting power minimum.
Then win in an arm wrestling competition.
You horrible person.

>>43796500
That implies you are civilized and moral

You are not. I even have doubts you're even anarchic rather than merely narcissistic, morally myopic and have your head firmly wedged in your colon because of a victim complex.

Think i found the thread. Problem is, for some reason i can only see one post.

>>43796551
You really don't have to do all that. Grab a yellow power ring, it can simulate yellow star energy. Heck you can go superman prime and have a yellow star energy suit.

Genuinely heavenly. If I wasn't trying to get the secret ending, I would pick that.

>>43796451
Biomechanically fusing with the robot isn't a bad idea in general. I already have a body from Asura's Wrath, the perk from Pacific Rim that adds anything to a mech design, True Form, and Coop hanging around to improve technology. I'll give winning her heart through victory a try. Pic kind of related.

>>43796551
That's a good world ending strength build, and I'm definitely not okay with destroying a universe! I'm stacking sources of infinite power, intelligence, and mech perks, so I should be okay without it. Mantra, a AT field powered by the One Piece willpower perk, Axe Cop near competence, and Spiral resolve from Gurren Lagann are a few.

>>43796625
Sure. I can accept that.

Thing is though-he's universally disliked here. He's contributed nothing of value, and occasionally tries to do utterly retarded things like try to provoke people into multiplayer.

Elder Things are even completely understandable by human brains since they created the ancestors of all earth life. Technically not even cosmic horrors.

Gosh, didn't know you had that much strength already. Godspeed, Liberty Prime/Unit-anon.

Watch out for unexplained phenomena. Remarkably enough that power has never been explained or demonstrated, so for all you know will o' the wisps and sudden rains of fish might happen if she gets serious while armwrestling you.

>>43796643
I've checked, and it's just a picture of cthulhu. Don't have to take my word for it, of course.

And while I draw the line at attempting assassination by seizure, really-what do you expect? You repeatedly get told you're unwelcome here, you repeatedly try to assert your victim complex justifies every mean thing you do-and you're surprised when people spew vitriol all over you?

I'll say it again: I remember a time when you said you left the site for good. I honestly, positively think we would all be better off if you resolved to leave for good.

>>43796689
I know better than to trust that flower, although I do know your generally decent.
>>43796704
Well people have posted seizure inducing images since they found out I have photosensitive epilepsy, so in fairness this is something that has happened on more than one occasion.

>>43796374
And the memories/drop in thing?

>>43796695
You only get true omnicompetence in your home universe once your jump is over, and until then you're slightly below Axe Cop. That's still really good.

>>43796729
I have tried! whenever I say I'm leaving for good I genuinely do my best to leave for good, this place is as much poison to me as I am to it !

>>43796461
Most of have. There's just a couple of people who don't realize he's never going to learn, and never going to go away as long as people respond.

I mean, he might not go away if they do stop, but it's worth a try.

>>43796724
At this point, his counterparts clearly just want to shitpost and use him as an outlet.

>>43796753
Listen.

Try harder.

I believe in you, okay? I believe you have, at the very least, enough pattern recognition to notice what happens every time you post and assert yourself as a good guy, or try to start shit with someone else, or do a dozen other crude, idiotic things.

Now close this browser.

And walk away.

Or tab to another site.

I'm telling you, it really is for the best. There's at least one other community that's into jumpchain on Spacebattles, maybe they'll put up with you somewhat more. You have to realise by now there's nothing you can contribute here that won't be ridiculed and spat on.

>>43796754

Or, the Omniverse if you get your planeswalker spark.

Nigga what.


As far as political/economic systems go, anarchy is worse than communism.
I'll repeat that. Anarchy is worse than the system that was directly responsible for millions of deaths.

>>43796835
>the Omniverse

Isn't that, like, a bit bigger than a single universe? Not to mention it'd mean literal omnipotence, which I somewhat doubt the reward is intended as. Seems more likely it's just the reality you call home, but it's been a while since I've read the jump

>>43796854

I'd argue that that may change when you involve post-scarcity near-or-post-singularity technology, but then again I'm not a sociologist or economist so I know fuck all about that crazy stuff.

>>43796867
Omniverse is the colloquial term around here for encompassing non-interactable multiverses. Like say DC's and Webmage. They both contain multiverses but you can't access them from each other's Jumps, they're segregated.

>>43796854
The thing about anarchy is, well, it's not even a system per se.

Don't quote me on that though, I'm not apolitics major and am just going by the dictionary definition

Yeah, I just find it hard to believe a single reward would give you absolute dominion over all of Jumpchain post-Spark. I know nothing of Axe Cop, though.

>>43796854
Anarchy isn't so bad as long as you have some rules in place to keep people from abusing each other, and a strong leader who can enforce those rules.

...Wait.

Been reading up on the Ranma jump as I'm after some martial arts ability and want to familiarise myself with the setting and get some ideas of what I want from it.

And holy fucking shit, I hate so many of these characters so much, how could people have liked these characters, they are actually objectively terrible people.

Like is the series just not for me? Am I not getting something about these characters because they are god awful and I'll be lucky if some of them are murdered by the time I'm done here.

>>43796909
It probably doesn't but hey, its their imagination game so its up to them to decide what they can and can't do.

>>43796920
On a SLIGHTLY related bit of trivia: Did you know Conan the Barbarian's journey ended with him bringing civilisation and knowledge to the Mezoamericans as Quetzocoatl? Bet the guy popularised as the quintessential barbarian never saw that one coming.

>>43796909
the actual jump just says you get it in your home dimension (this one) or whichever one you choose to settle down in.

>>43796947
Oh yeah, sure. I'm just wondering what on earth kind of setting has a "you omnipotent now" post-Spark reward, must be hella dangerous.

>>43796958
This isn't my home dimension.

>>43796867
Well, I took planeswalker spark as a Pre-Revision planeswalker spark, if we use MTG logic. Omniverse being the term I use to describe all multiverses. Pre-Fix Planeswalkers could one shot creator gods. The only two beings who can access the omniverse are You and The benefactor (And all the other ashholes you bring along with you.)

>>43796901
Anon, you'll feel homesick at one point.

No, that's a fairly common reaction to Ranma. There's...well, Kasumi is nice, and I vaguely recall liking Doctor Taro, but everyone else is somewhere between annoying at best and a sexual predator at worst.

>>43796944
No it's not just you Rumiko, the mangaka, a shit. She makes a lot of characters that are just terrible people, and has them be the protagonists.

>>43796981
No the fuck I won't. You don't know a single thing about me or my life. Not everyone is fond of it, not everyone gets fucking homesick. You have no idea at all. None.

>>43796972
Axe Cop is a special kind of dangerous, in that everyone can die on a moment's whim and be brought back because of a whim at any point. Its written by someone's very young sibling and then they illustrate whatever torrent of words comes out of them.

>>43796953
Where is this from? pretty sure it ain't from the original author.

>>43796981
>you'll feel homesick at one point.
Nope, I don't even intend to keep my memories particularly organized, I mean I'm keeping them, but they will just be there, somewhere maybe I'll hide them behind my knowledge of plumbing, I hate plumbing.

even in real life I left home and never looked back, sometimes "home" is a toxic place to be.

>>43796729
Thank you, really good idea Anon. If I take CHAN MIO before Touhou, things could reach really dangerous levels. You're right about unexplained phenomena. If she gets really serious, we may not need to fight at all.

-See Yuugi at a gathering somewhere, go up and talk with her.
-Unusually uncomposed Sakuya appears yelling at us.
-"WAIT A SECOND, DON'T DO THAT! IT'S GOING TO HIT THE MANSION EVEN FROM THIS FAR AWAY."
-Yuugi inquires.
-"I apologize. I can't tell you or you'll want to do it."
-Yuugi seriously inquires.
-"You and this guy were going to arm wrestle, and he's a living thing from those Outside World TV shows. Like Gunbuster."

Seriously though-how the fuck thus Yuugi's superpower even work?

What CAN'T she do by manipulation of "unexplained phenomena"? Does she basically have Soft Physics from Worm on top of muscle witchcraft?

>>43797089
It's a bonus added on for if you fail the chain and get sent back here, or end it early and stay in a particular world. The use of the word 'home' is meant to imply 'origin', not the use of 'home' you object to. I think it works anywhere post spark? Maybe?

Do you mean that as in, the phenomena itself is unexplained or that she has power over every known unknown and unknown unknown?

I know I'm late to jumping on you for defending your multiplayer attempt, but more than anything else I can't get over how woefully inadequate your "plan" is. I've read his combos. I don't think he'd even register it before the aura of sheer fuck you he emenates would utterly dissipate the attack.

I mean setting aside the fact KOTOR has said in the past that Q This doesn't work on gods, he found a way to make The Noble Eightfold Path exponentially stronger in one go the other day.

That's curious speaking as a Jumper whose primary abode is a magic flying pirate ship. Not that I can fault the creator for not accounting for exotic definitions of home.

Anons I figured out the perfect revenge for the saotome parents, once I legally come of age to be a adult I'm going to disown them both and change my name legally so that the old bastards name has jack shit to do with me.

That's a good plan. Very restrained.

Mine involved fire, itching powder and a box of Legos.

YOU MONSTER.

I'm going to do it. I downloaded Cherry Tree and my chain is beginning today. What's a good starting jump besides Pokemon that doesn't have a need for a painkiller with no downsides?

>>43798183

OneNote is much better than CherryTree once you start needing to organize large lists of abilities and items.

>>43798183
Harry Potter.
Low risk, high reward

>>43798183
Generic Medical Drama!
It has a pain killer with no downsides!
(or Infamous,Hellsing,Some people even do LOT as a starter but I would advise against it)

>>43798183
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Or the Sims.

>>43798183
I'm fond of Narnia as a starting jump. Lots of adventure and excitement without too much danger unless you take the wrong drawbacks. And more importantly, it lets you pick up Heart of a Child, which in my opinion is a must-have for all jumpers and the sooner you get it the better. Past a certain point a jumper's greatest weakness is ennui, becoming immune to that is a very good thing.

>>43796600
Oh hey, that worked. Thanks Anon.

>>43798212
How so? The thing that's kept me from starting is the difficulty of organizing everything.

That's my second Jump! I want to come in with other supernatural abilities so I can House it up as a CDC quarantine specialist. Most of the time I'll have nothing to do and be able to help patients.

I would feel uneasy in a universe where God with a capital G is one of the characters.

Huh. I don't suppose we've got that as a jump?

Nope. Literally just Slice of Life with the Monsterpeople upgrades.

There is one, by the same guy as made the Corruption of Champions jump, and that should tell you all you need to know why it's not on the drive.

>>43798324
Do Inside Out early on. The Emotion trees are pretty nice. Pretty low risk too, unless you lead your person off a cliff or something.

>>43798235
>Past a certain point a jumper's greatest weakness is ennui, becoming immune to that is a very good thing.

We feel differently about that - those kinds of perks basically truncate your ability to experience a full range of emotions and staple sections of artificial personality responses over your own. It's dehumanizing.

>>43798324

CherryTree is basically just NotePad with nested tabs. OneNote has far more in-page utility, such as collapsible paragraphs, insertion of images or screengrabs from a jump and the extraction of the text from said images.

>>43798358

It's honestly not that bad. It should still remain banned of course, but it's pretty mild.

There're several non-banned jumps which have much more skeevy content.

>>43798378
>We feel differently about that - those kinds of perks basically truncate your ability to experience a full range of emotions and staple sections of artificial personality responses over your own. It's dehumanizing.
And this is bad why?

>>43798216
>Harry Potter. Low risk, high reward.
Unless you don't have defences against both mind-reading and mind-control, or at the very least the former. In which case it becomes rather the opposite. Legilimens and Obliviate get tossed around like candy in that setting. For example, Snape regularly uses the former on students and Gilderoy the latter, and they're supposedly respectable professors at a prestigious school.

>>43798378
>It's dehumanizing.
Being Human is overrated.

>>43798324
>Would it work if I'm American and took Drop-In?
Eh, sure, why not.

As long as you are not Tony Stark or American Cowboy Magic Jesus, most people probably won't care, well at least in thread.

>>43798449
Snape uses it in the basic way though which is more or less just knowing you're being lied to while looking them in the eye.

Lockhart attempts it once after someone discovers his big secret and tries to make him fight a basilisk.

I mean it's dangerous and you can accidentally blow yourself up but it's not as risky as all that.

>>43798449
>Legilimens and Obliviate get tossed around like candy in that setting. For example, Snape regularly uses the former on students and Gilderoy the latter
Not really.
Legilamacy (or however the fuck it's spelled) is only used by three people that I'm aware of. The first two (Dumbledore and Snape) require eye contact, and even then there's only a couple of cases where they are shown to do so, and even THEN, they have to vocalize. The third case (Voldemort) is a special case as he has a direct root to his victim's head.

As for Obliviates, as long as you stay away from Lockhart (and really, you should be doing that anyway since he's a ponce) you're in the clear as it's only really used on Muggles.

>>43798514
>>inb4 something something Berserk
What's wrong with Berserk?

>>43798466
-Not Tony Stark.

You mean I can't focus entirely on enchanting my clothes and fight Death Eaters with wizard armor?

>>43798216
As >>43798449 points out, there it is not a low risk area.

I think a better example of low risk, high reward would be something like Terminator.

Get a Series 800 or 1000 body and then pay (of you didn't roll) to be in 1980. You'll have 4 years to prepare to kill the Terminator and aid Sarah Conner and Kyle. You then end up with a cybernetic body that is immune to handguns and breaks steel doors all while passing as human.

The question is not who will let you.

It's who will stop you. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

>>43798548
A lot of people get raped by demons. Others are "lucky" enough to only be raped by other humans. It's a pretty rape-happy setting.

>>43798549

Of course you can magic up some armor.

>>43798407
>And this is bad why?

Humanity in the hardware and software sense is a precarious thing, of uncertain value. Humanity in the moral sense is subjective, and not limited to humans.

But abandoning yourself so frivolously, by picking options on a page, is not looking before you leap. If you want to expand your mind, remove out-dated ancestral instincts, become a digital intelligence, modify your emotional response to stimuli or your simulated neurotransmitter balances, that's perfectly fine and laudable.

I just feel it should be done with more thoughtfulness than just selecting an option on a page and assuming you understand the implications, because fiat. Even if you'd enjoy the person you become - even if you know that you can make yourself happy with it.

Of course, it's a matter of personal preference. I'd be fine with Desty Nova's form of immortality via mindstate copies, and some may be fine with large-scale and non-gradual replacements of core personality functions.

Unholy Heights for its blatant genderbending waifu enabling, anything with a Harem perk or abilities that *directly* override the free will of others, particularly when it makes them like you.

Those lust/dominance pheromones in DC for instance - I'm not on a moral crusade and don't want anything removed, but it is blatant mind rape.

And probably leads to actual rape.

See, that assumes that what you're starting with is of value to you. And the thing is, I have deep and profound issues of self-loathing. Some imbalance in my brain chemistry that no medication I've tried seems to be able to remove completely. So "it will radically change who you are in ways you can't predict" is an asset to me, not a detriment. Maybe the new configuration will actually like itself.

How would Ace Attorney work as a starting Jump?

Drop-in.

I'll Allow It.
Logic.
Objection!
Sidekick.
Civil Procedure.
Great Revival.

Attorney's badge.
Sharp Suits.
Office.
Wad of Cash.
Book of Law.

I have two of the most broken powers in the Ace Attorney world. Actual legal knowledge, and no obligation to use any of it. I didn't murder whoever the guy was that they found me in front of, and until my sidekick digs up some evidence I'm going to throw every statue and roadblock in the book at that guy who really wants to convict me. Your evidence? Technically inadmissible. My evidence? Blatantly inadmissible, but the judge will allow it. It'll be a hard fought battle full of blatant stalling and pushing I'll Allow It to the limit, but at the eleventh hour we'll come through with evidence that instantly turns the case on its head. Whether or not that direction will be a logical one remains to be seen, but after the actual killer is discovered I can start taking cases.

>>43798505
>>43798541
Here's the thing though. You're not in the movie, which can only hire so many extras. You're in the world. It's not _just_ Snape and Gilderoy you have to watch out for, but an entire secret society of magicals with a rather medieval way of thinking.

Plus in about six to seven years there'll be a Wizarding War - in which Legilimens, Obliviates, Imperios and Avadras definitely will be thrown around - unless you can seriously derail the plot. And the scenario here is that it's your first jump, and all it takes is being in the wrong place at the wrong time once...

>>43798183
I like starting in a series of jumps that allow me to hone mundane skills to beyond-mundane levels. lots of espionage, soldiery, swordplay, archery, and the like.

Then, when a jump takes away my magic, and my mental powers, I still have my foundation.

What are the notes for Assassin's Creed going on about when they say "Precursor Clones fielded by 2015."? Even by the end of Syndicate they haven't gotten a clone working. Is it just speculating?

Do the Pieces of Eden for a Companion's background count as background based? I ask since they have to spend at least half their points on background specific stuff before they can buy other stuff.

Fine Weapon could be a cane-sword, right? Would you have to be in Syndicate time to get it? I have a vague memory of someone in an Ezio game with a sword or dagger hidden in a cane. I'm probably going AC4 or Modern age but still want a Cane Sword.

When the jump mentions the Hidden Blade bracer can be bought twice, and they're free for assassin's, does that mean that assassin's can get two free, or do they have to pay for the second one? On that note I don't suppose they'll get the option for the modern day taser thing, or would I just have to make that myself?

Speaking of making things, with Enlightenment and the Mysterious Tablet could you make your own Pieces of Eden? If not what if you had Pieces to study and some reverse engineering perks? I only ask the second question because the item description turns the whole 'messing with these things is dangerous' thing up to eleven by making any attempt at disassembling them cause them to blow up, no matter how good you are. It'd be more accurate to say the slightest misstep would do that, since the Precursors presumably had no problems working with them; Abstergo were just messing with things too high above their tech level, while Jumpers can go way higher. (I think at least one explosion was actually intentional, though bigger than expected, as either an Assassin or just someone working against the Templars tried to destroy a Piece of Eden the Templars had.)

>>43798959
Brilliant. You keep doing what you're doing there, you crazy rules lawyer you.

>>43799023
Or you could just use that as a pretext to blow the whistle on the whole medieval cabal shebang and point out why they're dangerous and need to be stopped. You can't Avadra an artillery strike.

>>43799023
I highly recommend hitting up FFTA before Potter. Ribbon-Bearer is super-cheap immunity to Avada Kedavra and Imperio, and will help against most other curses even if it doesn't make you immune. You also pretty much can't die in FFTA unless you're an idiot, so it's super-low risk too.

Just don't take Marche to the Sea. Bad idea for your first Jump.

>>43799023
Here's the other thing: The War? That's only relevant for three or four years at best, actually closer to two, if you allow the plot to play out the same.
And for 75% of the first three years, you're far away from the conflict in a building protected by Dumbledore. For the last year, it's easy to fly under the radar.
Furthermore, it's pretty well implied that ligament-ligil-fuck it, mind reading, is a rare-ish skill. So it's not like your average thug in Knockturn Alley is going to be able to divest you of your secrets. Obliviates are mostly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, since it's not a lose condition.
Imperious can be resisted with enough willpower.
As for AKs, well, don't get in that sort of situation and you'll be okay.

Of course, if you know enough about the books, you can always go to Dumble's and say "Look, Voldie's horcruxes are here, here, and here. This is going to happen next year, this is going to happen the next year, Voldie is going to resurrect himself, and so on.
Or find the graveyard in Little Hagleton and fuck with Riddle Senior's bones. That'll do...something.

>>43799110
Avada Kadavra, meet Automat Kalashnikov.

>>43799110
But you can artillery strike an area that they aren't in anymore because some of them got smart and teleported out. You can also be made to hit your own people, or be unable to find where to strike without a magical person to find it for you.

>"Now whatever you do, don't stop running in a straight line, and keep shooting straight ahead. CHARGE!"
>"Yaaaah- oh wait I forgot to buy milk, back later."

Or:

>"Drop the bomb at these coordinates."
>"Gotcha, just gotta go turn off the oven at home first."

That said, if a magical (such as you) helps them... yeah, they'd get rolled, but you'd better have a way to stop them imperiousing the muggle military leaders and getting lots of people killed as revenge.

>>43799158
Ribbon Bearer is nice, but how does it make you immune to AK and Imperio? Am I misreading it?

I definitely second the recommendation for FFTA as a fun low-risk jump if you don't take the drawback, though.

>>43799167
>Or find the graveyard in Little Hagleton and fuck with Riddle Senior's bones. That'll do...something.

I seem to recall there was at least one fanfic where they laced the bones with so many magical drugs that... well, Voldemort returned, but he spent the rest of eternity stoned out of his mind.

>>43799212
Not that anon, but if I'm reading it correctly, Ribbon Bearer protects you from status effects. In Final Fantasy, Instant Death is a status effect. So, if there's a magical effect that would normally snuff out your life instantly with no chance of a saving throw, you're immune, because fuck your bullshit status overrides.

Even so, probably shouldn't sit there and tank green energy bolts. That's not the kind of thing you want to have slip through on a technicality.

>>43799249
I read a fic once where Riddle's bones were replaced with transfigured dog shit.

>>43799167
Losing all of your memories would be pretty crippling unless jump-chan restored them.

>>43799249
Shit, that's so much better than my idea of replacing them with various baculum

>>43799269
why

>>43799285
Why not.
It's better than making him into a Voldie-balloon

>>43799265
>looks up FF status effects
Huh. Interesting. On the one hand, you're immune to lots of bad effects. On the other, you're also immune to lots of good effects. I guess that's why it's only 100cp?

>>43799285
because Harry Dresden has a low sense of humor, and due to some sort of accident involving the never never he had replaced potters personality. Having read the series he then proceeded to throw all sorts of monkey wrenches into voldies works.

>>43799363
Traditionally ribbon has always been a null all negatives item. Heck you could probably just search up the FFTA equivalent and see what it nulls.

>>43799186
>Using the trashiest gun to ever trash.

>>43799363
Ribbon only blocks negative statuses. Honestly, I think Ribbon Bearer is one of the most under-costed abilities in all of Jumpchain, considering how much protection you get for just 100 CP.

>>43799167
fill riddle senior's coffin with semtex.

>>43799523
But I don't use the INSAS?

>>43799615
I don't mean quality wise, the AK is just the most overused bit of slavshit ever with too much popularity.

>>43799265
Yeah, it'll probably work a lot like tanking Death Flies from SMT. Immune to death? Good for you, have a metric fuckton of non-elemental damage.

So I, and I believe many other jumpers probably, thought the Orgel of Origins was an infinite energy generator. Apparently not. It converts space and matter from a specific point in the universe into energy, and if it is used extensively enough, will consume the entire universe. So, not the best choice for super-high energy production in universes you don't intend to destroy, but a nice recycling plan for ones you don't like.

>>43799704
A lot of people ignore Surge entirely, because of stupid things like that.

>>43799704
Jumpmaker's come out and said that it's up to you whether or not Arno Surge is canon and whether the Orgel has that mechanic or not.

>>43799704
Mir said that because that's only in Ar Nosurge, which is not included in the jump, and because it's a retarded retcon, you can pick the original version as described in Ar Tonelico and its supplementary material, which is the one shown in the jump.

>>43799704
Yeah, the thing is, that's a straight up retcon from how it worked before. It actually worked differently before Surge decided to change it. So the author has said you can just decide if that's canon or not.

>>43799110
Thanks! In that case, have the full recount of what happened in that Jump.

I developed a reputation for being someone who can throw together a defense out of nothing, and people with outlandish cases start coming to me for a defense. They didn't kill anyone, it was an alien abduction! They couldn't have killed that person, their friend confessed to framing them in their sleep! In that weird way that happens in detective shows, my detective sidekick and I spend more time investigating what happened than the actual police. A few times we've found evidence that the person we were going to defend was actually guilty and declined to take the case, but more often than not they had been caught in some weird coincidence that framed them for murder. Part of me really enjoyed the way it resembled an alternate reality Psych, even though there was a lot of work involved to throw roadblocks in the way of the prosecution and perfect my grandstanding. I enrolled in a few public speaking classes and Shakespearean theater productions to really bring Denny Crane to tears.

At the end of the 10 years, I'd grandstanded against fake mob informants, serial killers, disgraced judges, and corrupt government employees who thankfully didn't know how pleading the fifth actually worked. Not only that, but I had a couple hundred thousand dollars in the bank and a detective who I could count on to run into the courtroom with a vital piece of evidence at the perfect time. Generally speaking, I was in a good position to continue.

Is anyone here a fan of Gaki no Tsukai?

>>43799477
>>43799607
Let's see. In FFTA, it nullifies all status ailments, while in FFTA2, it protects from all debuffs and adds 2 and 5 to the Defense and Resistance stats respectively.

So you'd be immune to... berserk, blind, charm, confuse, control, disable, doom, being turned into a frog, immobilize, instant death/knockout, delayed instant death/knockout, having your attacks or magic or resistances depowered, petrify, poison, silence, slow, being put to sleep, and zombification.

Woah.

>>43799825
What's that?

>>43799830
Also immune to Addle, which is removal of knowledge of abilities. So nobody can ever take away your kung fu.

>>43799830
>being turned into a frog
This is one of those things a Jumper laughs about when they get it and it turns out to be the key to turning a losing battle around.

>>43799830
Don't forget Addle. It probably won't protect you entirely against an Oblivate, but remembering how to use all your skills and abilities even if you can't remember anything else is a serious leg up.

>>43799934
Well, I know it'd be useful in all of the NES and SNES final fantasies.

>>43799987
>Apparently I know how to cast a spell that does something called "Exterminatus"
>I'm not sure what it is, but it sure sounds like the kind of thing that will stop Voldemort from coming back

>>43799657
Probably not. AK is specifically there for instant kill, whereas Death Flies does damage on top of instant kill. You could probably argue that if the mage casting AK had a stronger casting strength than your level of resistance it might penetrate and kill you, but applying SMT mechanics to Harry Potter probably won't work well.

>>43798361
Remember that getting locked out is a loss condition, though - so your entire survival depends on leading a teenager through puberty without them becoming clinically depressed. Lord knows I have no experience with that.

>>43799825
Yeah, what about it?

>>43799607
>>43799830
FFTA was a really early jump, and Ribbon is generally overlooked since people then to consider FF mechanics as being "less canon" than others so that things like Auto-Life and Nihopaloa don't suddenly wreck things.

>>43799825
You the same person who talked a thread or two back about making a Gauntlet of it?

'Cause I'd love it, and I'm not sure you got to see me saying so, since the thread died about a minute after I posted. Assuming you're that person.

>>43799846
It's a Japanese comedy show. It's hilarious and famous in the West for "punishment games" like Silent Library.

>>43800047
Remember that in the movies it blows giant chunks in the statues Dumbledore uses to block it. Your standard early-game Jumper is probably less durable than a statue.

>>43800099
And yet it somehow doesn't explode Lily Potter into bloody fragments, or any other individual it hits for that matter.

>>43800091
Isn't that the thing people told someone last thread to go ahead and make?

This isn't Pokemon, man. HP is just the book continuity, pretty sure.

>>43800079
That's exactly why! I have a lot of the batsu parts written or partly written, but I would really like to talk with someone who knows the show well and could help add references to the descriptions for things.

In HP I was a rich American-Briton. I also was a half-giant with Wandless Magic and Non-Verbal specialty. Mum was the giant, Dad was the rich Yank. Grew up in America, but moved back to UK at age of 10. Hogwarts was a better school according to my pops.

>>43800189
Half-blood, Pureblood, or Muggle-born?

>>43800119
Hence why I compared it to Death Flies. Not immune to instant death? You're dead. Immune? Hope you've got enough HP

>>43800130
There's not that much to reference though to be honest, a lot of the things that Gaki no Tsukai brings up are often from Japanese daily culture. (If you saw Downtown's older skits a lot of it shows through, or Tokyo 03 - though you'll want to be able to understand Japanese for that.)

Especially in Gaki no Tsukai, a lot of the characters are especially important. Tanaka and Endou for example fit very specific roles in the characters that they play that are pretty common in manzai. You'd need to watch a lot of the episodes to see the recurrences though.

Without knowing what it is you're looking for it's hard to really describe without going into way too much detail. (Alternatively, if you're really interested in manzai culture, wikipedia isn't bad)

>>43795116
I typically live in my magical castle that I got from a jump (I forget which, Castlevania maybe) that grows from a single brick. Either that or I take one of the ships that I've acquired and live offplanet.

I'd say I'd live in the LoT, but I kinda stopped making jumps after that point because after that there's pretty much no way to lose until DBZ Jump, so I just declared it the last jump before then. I probably stole the plans for a Terran Battlecruiser at some point, so I'd probably live in a more spacious, automated version of that.

>>43800229
Valid, but I think people might as well just say they're immune. It's not like you can't magic cancel AK anyways. Makes me wonder what Harry Potter would be like if a global magic cancelling field popped up.

Does the perk "You...Blocked?" from 8-Bit Theatre jump require the use of a sword? Could you use a staff or a shield instead?

Also, I found the strip where Fighter blocks falling damage. For the entire party.

>>43800219
Half blood obviously. Considering it's kinda difficult to be Muggleborn as a half-giant and that pureblood well the giant blood is proof enough.

>>43800237
Van Helsing is the one with the grown buildings.


Man, I love-hate that jump. All the perks are awesome but the mere existence of those items means pretty much all of my CP goes into picking up at least one combo.

Is there a planatary annihilation jump?

The Gauntlet is specifically going to be a 24 Hour No Laughing batsu game, and the "drawbacks" will be elements of the batsu that will be guaranteed to happen. Things like a long bus ride with stops for comedy skits, the Jumper and their companions's families showing up, GOD DAMN, and games of tag. What I want to reference are specific instances of those things happening, so the Gauntlet has the flavor of Gaki no Tsukai and people who haven't seen the show can laugh at the crazy things they're bringing on themselves.

It will admittedly be difficult to keep the references to manzai without the Jumper being accompanied by the entire cast, and if they don't know who anyone is they won't know why pic related is so funny. Actually taking the cast could be a free perk or drawback for people who know the show.

>>43800491
Nope. There is a Supreme Commander jump, though.

I'd kinda argue that as with all manzai, it's the characters that make it funny and not so much the circumstance. Tanaka getting fucked over everyday anyday is hilarious because of Tanaka's reactions and personal attitude to stuff.

I think though, you could probably just use youtube episodes to set up the specific scenes that you want to reference from, stuff that people can search up themselves if they want to figure it out. It's either that, or you go all out with explanations...but that's going to be a lot of work for you - so you need to sorta prepare yourself mentally as for "how much effort do I want to put into this"?

So /jc/, how do you kill gods?

My weapon of choice is the Super Fun Russian Gun, all warded up so they don't see it coming.
