LightFlare_Da_Realest

Nice onw bruh. Got a chance ro use him recently and he's solid.

Here they come...get ready guys... I've seen this formation before. We'll need to wait till the right moment to strike. Most likely when they attack they'll be vulnerable. Any attacks to those shields may be futile. Great...well...it wouldn't be fun if it were easy... My feelings exactly.. LightFlare begins to charge a large Light Burst. My...my...aren't you a big fellah? Not gonna lie...I've seen "bigger"... Now is not the time to discuss you personal life, Melina. I'll keep that in mind... Good to know... Melina waits for the large creature to get close before leaping back of the griffon, behind and to the right of LightFlare...

[PREVIEW]

Good. You seem sufficiently warmed up. Now the real training begins... Nice move at the end... Yea...looks like you found a work around to using your powers offensively. You all did good. I was just a decoy at best...heh. Don't sweat it. I'm sure you'll get a chance to redeem yourself soon... I intend to... Look like the next wave is underway. Better get moving. Right behind you, Lucent! Let's go...! Lucent. Strategy time. I suggest we stick to our current formation. Those shield soldiers. Im sure our usual projectile attacks aren't gonna cut it this time. The heavily armed soldiers are gonna definitely take a few hits. And I'm not even sure what that is moving underground but what I DO know is that they will require some creative thinking... That last move Lucent used. I think it could help. It may not directly damage them but it can definitely unearth those...whatever they are. Then we attack them while there vulnerable. Exactly. That leaves the guards. We'll need to strike them from behind. Melina. Your speed should help with that. Umbra and his familiars would be of great asset. Walt...if you're up to it...we're gonna need that power of yours. That's what I've got so far. Looks like this next wave was designed to counter our projectile based attacks. Any suggestions? @Agni Blackheart @Dumanios

(Walt took a lot of shots. Another shot might have put him down. Maybe Lucent can reverse the effects...) That's the last of them... Got'em! Nice one, Lucent! Walt! Umbra! Get of the ice, quickly! It's breaking fast! Melina uses the solid outer parameter to move safely back to where LightFlare was standing. Ya made it back. How ya feeling? I'm good to go, Light. Ready for the next wave. How bout you, Raina? Lucent? You guys ok? If so, then once Umbra and Walt return we'll follow your lead, Lucent. The last formation seemed to work pretty well. Once we see what we're up against, we'll know for sure. Otherwise...ready when you are. Same here... Melina and LightFlare wait on the edge of the snow plain till the start of thre next wave.

Not good...! (Close call...thanks Lucent...now to capitalize...) Melina uses the large ice formation as cover as she advances around it to blindside the soldier who shot the hole in the ice or any soldier open to attack. (Hang in there Melina...) LightFlare fires a Light Burst at the soldier who shot the hole in the ice. What is he...? Interesting strategy to say the least...but I like it... LightFlare stands still and focuses. As the axe comes within inches of him he suddenly grabs it and swings it with Umbra on the other end at the soldiers in hopes he could reach guards before they recover from the grenade.

Melina recovers from the flashbang... Melina?! Are you ok!? Yea...that flashbang had a short fuse...much like myself I suppose. I was able to prevent it from affecting everyone else. Thanks. Now please...be more careful.. I won't let you down! That flashbang went off too close to me. I avoided the flash but the bang caught me good. But I'm good to go, now. Thanks for having my back, Raina. They're closing in on Umbra. But that ice isn't gonna make closing the gap easy. I'm going in. I'm going to take out one of those soldiers but I'm going to need some cover fire.... Lucent! I didn't see you after the flashbang. Looks like you were out range. Good... Great...now you have even more reason to be careful. That large hole isn't gonna make things easier. If you're going Melina..now's the time! I'll cover you! LightFlare fires a Light Burst at one of the drones as Melina advances around the parameter towards the guards. (We're so spread out...Umbra and Walt have become isolated. Fortunately, this was our strategy from the start.. It it seems to be working. The soldiers are focused on Umbra and Walt. Now's my chance...) Melina advances in to attack the soldier who threw the flashbang. If she can get near him she'll strike him down.

LightFlare narrowly escapes as he dives behind another large rock. He could hear the blast hitting the other side of the large boulder. The soldiers and the drones were focused on LightFlare leaving them open to the rest of the teams attacks.... Melina! Now's your chance! Melina's back is turned and she able to avoid the flash and but is the bang is unavoidable. Her ears constantly ring and she can't hear LightFlare but she can see LightFlare pinned down behind a large boulder. Lucent had just covered the area were the soldiers were with lighting. Umbra was moving and Walt attacked from afar. Light...! Melina tries to move toward LightFlare... That noise! Flash grenade! Of course... LightFlare quickly runs and positions himself in front of Melina. His body flashes yellow as he immediately fires a Light Burst at the guard charging his rifle.

No time like the present... LightFlare roles out from behind the rock as he fires a Light Burst at one of the drones nearby, striking it causing it to explode as he circles around the parameter of the arctic arena. Head's up everybody! Melina does a short leap and kicks the grenade back toward the guards in the front before it could explode. She follows LightFlare as she advances around the arena.

We're here... Let's get this show on the road... Melina and LightFlare slowly follow behind them. Over there. Behind that rock... Raina shouldn't be far behind. But I suggest we use projectile attacks to take out several of the drones at once before they have a chance to react. Then move in according to what we discussed. Umbra, Walt and Melina toward the front. Me and Raina at mid range. Lucent in the back. Walt and Melina focus on ground units. Umbra can help while keeping an eye on drones. Me and Raina will focus primarily on drones. Light...we still need to keep and eye on your teamates. We may need to switch roles or help the other. But I do agree with Light's format. If you agree Lucent, we'll move on your cue. Once the word is given and you guys start, I'll pick a drone, snipe it and move in. I'll move in once the first drone is down...just say the word.

Sounds solid. I'll do my best. My powers may seem explosive at times...but I know how to pace myself. Subpar...heh. Just try not to get sniped. Sit "too" still and the chick with the quiver on her back might end your turn early. Don't worry. I'll cripple her before she can fire a shot. Ready when you guys are.

That's the spirit! I knew I could count on you two. Let's get ready to rumble then... Melina waves as LightFlare smiles and gives the opposing team a thumbs up showing their gratitude. What's the matter "Fido"? Scared you'll have to think for yourself for a change? This bickering isn't gonna help us. Let's put our differences aside and focus on implementing our strengths. We've already established who our medic is. We've may have also established who the other team will attack first. I believe Melina and Anwalt share something in common. They both can take a lot of damage and retaliate quickly. Umbra and Raina seem most comfortable at range attacks. I'm skilled at them as well but I'm versitle...so I'll adapt. Keep these things in mind when the training begins.

Lucent is right. Holding back won't do you any favors. The effort you put in determines the results you pull out. This facilty provides an great means of testing your limits and possibly exceeding them. We should not wast it... The short and sweet....you paid for this...get most out of your investment. I know I will... If the "Scarlet Weather Maid" wants to switch sides...by all means go right ahead. Just don't expect any mercy if we meet on the battlefield. I like her way of thinking. Should make for a challenging trail. They'll have an insider...but we won't know what they can do. That is...assuming she shares her knowledge with the rest of the opposing team.

Now I'm pumped! Waves of opponents. Invaders. A boss battle...this place is worth the pomps. I can already see I'm going to have to strap a chain around your waist and have you pulled outta hear with that ship we came in on if I hope to EVER get you to leave this place. Melina chuckles as she teases LightFlare. LightFlare laughs as he responds... And that still won't be enough. Darkflare may regret letting me join...

Hmmm...now that's twist... I have a few questions. How many enemies do we defeat before someone is teleported! How many enemies can we expect to see once we arrive? How much time do we have there? Is it possible for a player from both sides to be teleported at the same time? And how long do we have overall?

Thanks bruh. They're all 320x240.

[PREVIEW] [DOWNLOAD] Street Fighter Alpha [COMMENT] It's time to dig in dem crates and resurrect some classics. Got a lot of love for these, so I'm happy to bring you my updated SFA stage collection. Most of the updates went to the 1.1 versions with updated delta's, bounds and zoom tweeks, but a few of the 1.0 versions got "taller" as well. But I also addressed some of the visual aspects of the sprites themselves and trimmed a couple of the bgm's, so the 1.0 versions will be changed as well on those. And finally I provided a link to all of them at once. So have fun and collect them all! Enjoy!

I think that would be right up my alley. I'm willing to give it a go. It's not like it's the first time I ran an experimental drill. Count me in. I'm always up for a bit of friendly competition.

Just as I expected. This is where I plan to spend most of my visits here... You look like a kid in a candy store, Light. Don't blow your "LightFlare Cannon" before you even get started! No girl appreciates that... You never run out of those do you? You know I don't. Isn't that right, Walt? Walt?! I suggest we... Geez....can you two pipe down for at least a few seconds?! If for no other, we should so a co-op so you guys can learn to get along. Had this happened on the ship those pirates might have actually managed to land a decent blow. Not that that would hurt you two I suppose... A cooperative activity would be the best for now. I haven't done one in quite some time and it was a thrill fighting along side you all on the ship. If I know Darkflare, this drill will give us much more of a workout than those "Rubbermaid" pirates from before.

Deja vu

Melina thanked the maid and went back over to the others... Looks like my hunch was accurate. The group activities are down below. She mentioned we'd need to talk to the..."trainers" on the underground level. I have a feeling these "trainers" are some skilled fighters in their own right. Darkflare typically employes some of the most skilled fighters around. The last time I met a trainer undergeround...it turned out to be a fierce battle. I'm sure he took that battle into account when designing his new facilty. Well...I'm ready when you guys are. We can take the elevator Darkflare came out of earlier. It's this way... Melina leads as she and LightFlare head toward the nearest elevator and wait for the others...

LightFlare and Melina overhear the conversation Darkflare haves with Sub-Zero... Looks like Dark is gonna be busy for a bit... Yea. Guess you guys are gonna have to continue that "bromance" a bit later than you had hoped for. Why not do both? I've had some experience with his training drills. During that time, they were in the prototype stage. Though I didn't know it at the time, if they were any indication of how effective his exercises could be...then I'm sure he a drill will allow us to sharpen multiple facets of our game. Walt, Melina and I can strengthen or close quarters combat. Umbra, Lucent and Raina can work on their distance fighting skills. Or we can all interchange on the fly. And Lucent...you'll still have a chance to sharpen your summoning skills. We should browse the various options first. We should look for some kind of terminal. The arenas on this floor seem to have a devise near them. Most likely we just insert our cards and follow the prompts. Although I think the "good stuff" is on the bottom floor. Let's consult a maid before deciding. Melina calls over one of the nearby maids... Excuse me! We're looking for a training activity that will allow us train as a group. We'd like to work on various skills in multiple ranges of combat.

Then we got ourselves a team. Unless Walt and Umbra wanna "settle their differences..." Which one? Wait...that robot...or whatever. He's the one you guys mentioned before. Am I right? You made him sound like a killer. Yet this guy brought him in...on his own... I'm starting to understand the full scope of just how unpredictable this place can probably be at times... (And poor ol' Darkflare can't catch a break. Must be a heavy burden he bears. I sometimes wonder why he chose this path. I guess he likes a challenge. Heh...we really are alike in some ways...)

[PREVIEW] [DOWNLOAD] Pride... [COMMENT] WARNING! OLD POSTING STYLE HAS BEEN INITIATED! "The stage is set. Ryu and Ken face of one more time. Two friends destined to battle for one another. Two rivals destined to battle against one another. As the sun rises over Mount Fuji...they step foot into what they considered to be the appropriate place. Each striving to reach the highest level of skill. The crowd erupts as the two legendary rivals enter the arena. Inspired by the SFV stage of the same name, this stage comes with parallax, animations, superjump, custom bgm and zoom. So what are you waiting for?! Join them! As they do battle in...THE RING OF PRIDE!"

LightFlare rejoins the group after talking to Darkflare.. Looks like Walt and Umbra are at each others throats again. How's everyone? Besides those two, of course. You guys all joined up? Yep! Ready to show these rookies how it's done... Sounds like you guys are down for some "group activities"...great. Light...you in too? You know it... Hmmm....that might be interesting. I'm fine with a group activity but if you guys wanna blow of a bit of steam go right ahead. Although I'm inclined to agree with Lucent. Some team building might do you some good. Maybe a one on one will knock off some of the edge and then you could team up afterwards. Brothers fight all the time but after the smoke clears...they feel better to have gotten things of their chest. Its just a suggestion really... That's actually a sensible point of view... (What's going on. Did he just..."drag" that rob8t in...?) (This looks interesting...)
