well, yea, a lot of fighters take their records very seriously. Path of
Glory, Path of Honor, all that jazz. there's at least one anecdote in
the Players' Guide about a team challenging a lower-ranked team just so
they could add a few cheap wins to their record. (Chimu Nihon vs. the
Howling Mongol Horde).

As an interesting to note to all this talk about rankings...
The street fighters them selves do keep track of rankings them selves.

This is shown in Street fighter 3
Third strike. I was playing ryu and got all the way to ken.

There conversation goes something like this.

Ken: It always comes down to this doesnt it.
(alot of other talk)
Ken: Ready for a beating.
Ryu: Who was the better win ratio.

So rankings are taken into account by the Sfers them selves as well.

True, but Zangief and T. Hawk don't take less damage from any hits,
despite having a stamina of seven and six respectively.

Good question. Personaly, I'd do both, with the elemental being rarer.
Let's take a look at DC for some examples.

Poison Ivy: Hybrid (at least according to the movie)

Swamp Thing: Both

Woodrue (I _think_ that's his name): Well, he's an alien, but I'd make him
a hybrid.

Now let's go to the Tick

El Seed: Hybrid (and so are his busy bees)

And Finaly Marvel

Man-Thing: Hybrid

no, 'coz then anyone with Block-to-whatever combos would have too much
of an advantage on round 1.

besides, insight requires you to watch someone fighting for 3 rounds to
make a roll, which you can't do prior to a fight.

Hey, here's an idea. Start your tactics at round zero instead of round
one. This'll allow you to use your insight or intimidation (although
it'd
be more work to include insight) before the fight. In fact, you could
probably block if you didn't have either of those skills.

it still won't hurt.

of course, nobody ever fights in the ring anymore. So maybe all those
injuries come from the idiots bodyslamming each other on concrete.

The EWA came to my high school a few years back, and I had a front row
seat. After the event was over security had to chase a bunch of kids
out of the ring. These kids were, prior to being chased off, leaping a
good five or six feet in the air by just bouncing. The rings are more
solid than a trampoline, sure, but they are still spring-reinforced with
a lot of "give".

Not exactly... while it is true that they are nto as solid as a regular

it... if it was a trampoline, that would not be possible...

Move 2: Howard Ng make a Elbow smash for his combo but Mr.Military Back
flip kick is more faster Howard Ng receives: 1 point of damage and
Mr.Military don´t stop Howard Ng Elbow smash and receive: 2 points of
damage.

If Mr. Military was successful in his Backflip Kick, he would have flipped
two hexes backwards from the position of being in the adjacent hex of his
opponent. Therefore, there would be two empty spaces between him and his
opponent (the cool thing about backflip kick, which is why I chose it for Mr
Military). Ok, so an Elbow Smash has a move of 1. Howard should not have
been able to reach Mr. Military to cause him this damage.

I don't know if Howard was exaggerating for comic effect, but almost
every convention I'd been to resulted in the Vampire LARPers getting in
trouble for *something*; making noise in the middle of the night in
non-game areas, picking locks to get on the hotel roof, setting fires in
wastepaper baskets, whatever. Not to mention they were wearing (most of
the time bad) costumes that no "real" vampire would wear (I find it hard
to believe that all vampires resemble depressed Goths in appearance or
dress like Dracula) and were in character all the time, even out of
game, to the point where it got annoying.

Never been to a convention. Don't know. Is it really that bad, though?
I
think I read in an article on your webpage about "lilting voices with
waggling fingers going you are MINE PU-ny MOR-tal", or some such like
that.
Just sounds like really bad overacting to me. I just like to play 'em
as
close to "real" people as possible. It's kinda hard to be "real" people

when you're a Giovanni Necromancer who's specialties is the walking

Move 3: Mr. Military blocks and Howard Ng make a Tiger knee (end of
combo) Mr.Military receive: 2 points of damage and fall on the ground
(knockdown)

Again, there is a mistake here. Tiger Knee causes knockdowns only to
opponents who are using aerial maneuvers

I never considered it _easy_ to take on a World Warrior. Had a fella in
my
group take on Ken in an exhibition match because he was a little too
cocky
and thought his character was a complete goon. His quote was "Seventeen

dice for a Flaming Dragon Punch...and you're going to roll a second
time?".
Point being, a World Warrior is something a character should aspire to
be
and look on as a living legend. Looking at those records on Standing,
I'd
say the WW's earned it.
