agree. For the powers to be
target-specific, is...
utterly stupid, IMO, for their powers were created
BEFORE
the concept of Negaverse existed.
$$That was what I was trying to say. Thanks
for clearing it up. ^_^ HOWEVER, if the author
wants/needs this particular plot point, go
ahead, just add a bit here and there to make
it "feel" more likely.
Agree.
I can't object _too_ much since I had
something similar in chapter 7
of Sukeban Senshi--Senshi v. Aragami.
The Senshi were having trouble fighting
Aragami, not so much because their
powers were ineffective, but because
1)The Aragami were _very_ tough
True. And the more powerful ones...
Kusanagi could probably go through
fifty youma before breaking a sweat.
IMO, it was still not a good idea on
your part to introduce Blue Seed stuff,
because the series is so apocalyptic...
My point is, rather than a mysterious
"our powers don't work", have a reason that
follows logically from the rest of the story.
EVEN IF the reader and the Senshi don't know
at that particular moment. Personally I think
it's better if the _reader_ knows just a little bit
more than the characters.
Nodnod.
There are a LOT of reasons.
1)They EAT Crystal Energy
2)They're slightly out of phase with time/space
so the Senshi Attacks pass through/bounce off
When mixin' and turnin' with the energy concepts,
all the three newbies have quite enough energy.
Ryoko against senshi at this point is overkill,
only chance they have against Lina, is by surprise,
and even the "weakest" Ranma can probably take
on any one of the inners and win, power-wise.
But there's also the thing...
3)They're FAST!
This one.
OR
4)They're just plain TOUGH!
that too.
Of course this isn't just a simple "my team's tougher than
your's so *bee-da*! situation.
Decide this before you introduce them. THEN, a little
at the time, let the reader and the Senshi, figure
this out.
Good ideas, all around.
So, how would YOU describe a situation where someone
would sweat-drop or face-fault?
$$I'm glad you asked that.
1) Sweatdrop:
A red-tide of mortification crept up Nabiki's neck
as she realized Akane had found her secret stash of
Hello Kitty's Greatest Hits CD collection.
Ooh!
OR
"You BASTARD!" A vein bulged in her forehead
as, shaking with rage, she turned on her enemy. "You
ate it
ALL?!" With a tortured scream of electrons
Tsukino Shingo vanished in a flash of silver light, an
empty
carton of Rocky Road, falling from his non-existent
hands.
Aah!
$$I'm showing various emotions, anger or embarrassment
in
this case.
$$Facefault:
{well, IMO, this indicates surprise or shock, looking
at the Anime}
Ranma's jaw dropped and his eyes bugged out like a
tromped-on-piglet as Kasumi swayed seductively toward
him,
wearing only what God had given her at birth. Mt. Fuji
had
somehow lodged itself in his throat and he swallowed
hard,
realizing that God did _good_ work.
"Ranma," she purred in a furry alto that tickled him
down deep in his tummy, "do you like what you see?"
"Do I!" he reached past her and snatched
a newspaper out of her hand. "They've just released
a digitally re-mastered copy of ^�Drunken Master II'!"
Ranma vanished in a tiny pop of imploding air.
"Akane! Ryogua! C'mon . . .you guys gotta' see this!"
Kasumi remained frozen in mid step, where
Nabiki found her three hours later, motionless except
for the violent twitching of her left eye.
I'm cutnpasting these for future reference, you know...
@@TV: "Come on down to Powers-R-Us! All this week,
Hyper-Beam-Destructo-Ray, only 9999.95 Yen. And to
the
first one hundred customers . . .A brand new
Magical
Girl
Theme Song by Mayo Okamoto!"
But Sailor Moon's original transformation sequence
has
a groovy tune!
$$Yes, BUT if you buy a power-up they throw in
a free song. ^_^ (It's a promotional gimmick. Mayo
hasn't
had a real hit since she got married and had a baby.)
Aiya! Such blow to drooling otaku fanboy wet dreams!
<SNIP>
@@RYOKO: "Why don't we just kill everyone
at both those schools??
BERYL: "You FOOL! That would reveal our presence
to
the humans."
RYOKO: "Yeah, but the only ones who can stop you
would be dead."
Hey, it IS canon that QB is both insane and stupid.
Of course, it could be theorized that it was the
remaining good in her fighting against what she
had become, and she subconsciously fought against
her proclaimed goals... Hmm... there's a fic there
to
be written...
$$Actually Beryl is Usagi, fleeing through time
to escape Pluto, bent on re-shaping the world in
her image. She's injured and loses her memory,
ending up leading a rebellion to try and get back
to the Moon, even though she doesn't know why.
Did I mention I was working on yet another SM story?
(Not soon though. Sukeban is taking a lot of time)
Ooh.
off-topic, I always thought Ultimecia in FF8 was some
alt-uni future incarnation of Rinoa...
$$That's a point, certainly. However
the biggest problem, IMO, was a certain
lack of detail and some forced or
contrived plot continuity. This is
Mebbe...
especially Ranma. I'd also like
a little more "friction", some
dynamic tension. Things seem
to be proceeding too smoothly.
There are some BIG problems, the
Senshi having trouble beating
the "monster-of-the-week" (AKA
Ranma, Lina, Ryoko) for
example. But I like
to see more _little_ details
that flesh things out.
I guess I have to agree.
Ranma of course, worrying about Akane
but also having come conflict about
killing an innocent to save her.
Some more detail on the thoughts
and fears and hopes of the other characters
would be good.
Don't be in such a rush to get
from Point-A to Point-B. ^_^
Didn't think about it, but now we have
Ranma together with two, count *two*
females with
a)explosive, hair trigger temperaments
b)enough personal destructive power to
take out 1)planets
2)solar systems
3)galaxies.
Hmm..
.o|
question!
Does Ryoko have all three gems?
