In a no holds barred Battle Royale, blowing up the whole battlefield is a pretty solid option, assuming you yourself could survive it. Of course, in an unlimited class arena, there’s a chance your opponents could too. Still, why not? Might knock out a few of them anyway. Pretty much the only thing not allowed in the UCBA is anything that could be categorized as off table support. No orbital railguns, no over the horizon artillery, no transporting infinite backup mecha or clones or oceans onto the field. Hammerspace/bags of holding are okay, but not an actual wormhole to a thousand arrays of battleship weapons pointed at the entrance of the wormhole, or, you know, an infinite warehouse full of mecha ocean clones.
Can you put a tag-team-partner in your bag of holding? Well, most of them don’t work like that, but this is Unlimited Class, so let’s assume they have one that allows you to store a living being. No, you can’t do that, because they would count as a separate entrant. There have been some special cases where a duo entered as a single entrant, but they were weird psychically paired or something.
Can you enter a starship? Like a Galactic Dreadnought? Sure, but with only a single crew member. Or a single A.I. (A proper A.I., not the shit we have now.) However, in a relatively close-range fight against 7 other Unlimited Class opponents, it’s a pretty good way to get boarded and lose your ship. There have been a few instances in the past where people tried to cheat by entering a powerful ship or mecha and another powerful entrant shanghaied it to double up their fighting power, but it’s a stupid tactic, because you can just enter Goku wearing Iron Man’s armor piloting a Warhammer 40K Titan in the first place. The only thing “cheating” like that would do is it would let you “beat” an otherwise difficult opponent because they’re really on your side to begin with.
That isn’t to say organizations haven’t tried to stack the final matchups by flooding the entry pools. The problem at that level of competition is getting beings that powerful to take falls. The Gokus and Supermen would be offended by the cheating, and the Friezas and Dr. Dooms would incinerate you for suggesting that anyone would believe that they could be beaten.
There are a lot of good “thing powering up sounds.” The Proton Power Pack from Ghostbusters is a good one, though it’s probably more the reaction than the sound in that scene. The guy yelling “Power UP!” in Altered Beasts is actually pretty fun. As soundbytes go, “POWER OVERWHELMING” is an amazing one. But really I’m talking about sound effects, not He-Man yelling “IIIIII HAVE THE POWEEEEER!” Which incidentally is another good one. Share your favorite “thing power up” moments.
Here’s one of Gaxgy’s in progress shots of the painting Maxima promised him. Weird how he draws almost exactly like me.
I’ve finished the main picture with the nude variant. (More like the clothing is the variant, because it’s easier to add clothes than erase them.) But I haven’t finished the bonus comic yet, so I’ll update the incentives soon.
Patreon doesn’t have a nude version yet, but I’ll try and update this each week until it’s done.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
