Most of you are probably already familiar with how this does down, but I'm gonna lay it down anyway. It's pretty standard arena affair.
Setting Up A Match:
This one's easy. The first and most common way to do this is to post or respond to a request in the "Looking for Matches" thread. If your chosen monster isn't in "The Regulars", then stats must be provided. Then you just get a ref and decide a location. Simple, huh?
Another way to end up in a match is to join a tournament. If you do that, the creator and ref of the tournament will make the matches.
How to Fight:
First off, after the ref or one of the fighters has posted the thread, the fighters should post intro, in which they introduce their monster. Then, the ref- in the form of another monster- will kick off the fight.
Posts should contain two or three hits connecting on the enemy, at least one hit on your own monster, and an open attack that carries over to the next post. There are three options when responding to an open attack:
1. Let it land and count it as the blow on your monster
2. Dodge it
3. Counter it and go straight into your own attacks
Even in group battles, the open attack must be acknowledged. And be fair. Allies shouldn't always be allowed to go undamaged and foes shouldn't always be hit. Mix it up a little.
Combos are allowed, but keep it under five blows. Also, the combined damage of the blows shouldn't be much worse than a normal attack. Combos shouldn't include any beam attacks either.
There are also rules for monsters that can fire more than one beam at once. In such instances, only two or three beams can be fired at the same time. If one or both of the beam is particularly strong, keep it to two. And don't use these kind of attacks excessively, as in no more than a few time within a single match.
If a monster has an extremely powerful attack, it will be labeled as a limited attack. This means it can only be used twice in a match. And one-hit KO attacks are just out.
At the end of a match, the ref will decide a winner. Matches should usually be around the end of the second page or on the third page. For very close or special fights, this can be extended. The winner of a match should be based on damage and skill shown. No playing favorites. And, just as a side note, good writing helps too. The only other way a victory can be declared is if the other combatant doesn't post within one week, which will disqualify them.
Also, after winner has been decided, unlike some other arenas, the loser won't be killed. Avoids sour feeling that way. If the winner truly feels they should kill their opponent, contact the loser and make sure it's okay first.
Rules:
- You can only use kaiju you yourself created
- No regeneration. If one of your monster has regeneration, it will be negated for any matches
- No overly violent attacks. This mean no impaling, no breaking bones, and no removing limbs. The only exceptions to these rules are monster with little structure, a surplus of limbs (and don't get to crazy), or limbs that grow back very quickly. Remember, these are other people's monster you're dealing with.
- No totally transformations. If your monster has two completely different forms, choose one. If a transformation consists only of a slight physical chnage or 'power-up', it's fine.
- If a monster can spawn or create other creatures, their attacks count as one of your attacks. It should be noted that the act of spawning itself isn't counted as an attack though.
- If a monster is excessively large, scale it down to a more reasonable size
- Unless they can be easily replaced, no destroying weapons
This isn't really a rule, but matches should be fairly even too. I don't wanna see a beam-spamming juggernaut go up against a beamless brawler with no chance of winning.
Another suggestion: use proper grammar. I'm not gonna punish you for missing a punctuation or misspelling something, but USE CAPITALIZATION. Sorry, but I'm a grammar Nazi.
If a rule is broken by any player, the ref should issue a warning and use their monster to stop any open attack and deal damage to the perpetrator You only get two warning. Break the rules three times and you'll be disqualified.
So, that's how it works. It may be a lot to take in, but try to have fun!
