Super Smash SMF Brawl
Posted by Gazmanafc on March 25, 2008, 05:26:32 AM
Hey Folks,
No doubt you've seen various team members having icons in their signatures featuring "0%" in them, myself, included. I figure, that since I created them (and host them
) that I should explain what they do, and most importantly what they are.
With the American release of Super Smash Brother's Brawl (Wii), I've been watching quote a few videos of game play and such, particularly the Subspace Emissary.
The icons are a parody of the health icons used in the game. As you attack an opponent and they take on damage, that damage is represented as a percentage. The more damage they have the easier it is to knock them out of the field. Since Super Smash Brothers is more about knocking them out of the field rather than actual KO's, it is possible to have more than 300% damage.
But I had a brainstorm while watching, about a personal Brawl with my friend, Princess Cake (he's a dude by the way). So I created an icon of just us two, and that quickly expanded into the entire SMF team that attended the now forgotten Meeting of the Minds three months ago.
Initially, each team member's icon was red, but I changed it a couple of days ago to the team that person is in. So I have purple, akabugeyes has yellow, metallica48423 has green and so on.
There is no real purpose behind them. They're just for fun. I did also create some special icons that are grey featuring official and fan created characters from The Simpsons as well as Doc Brown and Biff Tannen from Back to the Future.
I'll post the icons in this topic those who have placed them in their sigs as well the special ones I made.
It should be obvious that Suzy and Laura are the fan created characters, Laura being created by myself. Suzy is Lisa's identical twin sister who was taken away at birth by Mr. Burns in "Lisa Squared", and Laura is Lisa's daughter in a Fan Fiction I wrote called "The Simpson Twins II: Time Travellers"
Hope that clears up some stuff about what the heck they are.
Regards

dont attack fellow customisers
I would like to point oit that most of the images contain something important to that person ... anyone wanna try and post what each image is and what it represents
<metallica48423's damage raises to 240%>
<metallica48423 falls out of the ring losing a life>
PLAYER FIVE! DEFEATED!
Runic's right. The coloured image next to the person's face is something exclusive to who they are, if you want to play a guessing game and guess what they are, then go ahead. But I can just reveal them if I wanted to.
RW Got a Relgious Star
Gazmanafc got simpson's head
BM got a mage's hat
Bugeyes got a lever(teh SM lever)
Alundra got her freeky smiley
and I got no idea what Sarge got
Did I got em right?
I don't use that anymore, and I don't want to be referred to it as such anymore either.
OK so "Gazmanafc got a simpson's head"
Is that better?
Anyways now is that better?
Blame the laziness of human beings to shorten things. Thats why I use slang
lol @ SleePy
Anyway, you're right about what my icon is, but which Simpson is it.
(Thats a standard comment I make when someone gets a question right.
In my Fan Arts, Maggie's hair is slightly more fancier.
The sig image is Lisa, while Maggie:
(This is the one I used in my Brawl icon)
Uh huh... remember the capital letter eating bug?
And everyone still calls me BM.
Arial Black Bold 28 point with a 1px black outline. (In Fireworks, it might need to be 18pt)
I've also made some more.
And we also went Melee style!
Apparently, I have Mario's Final Smash.
Orly?
nice avvy, ACF
Final Smash: Maggie Blade Slash Level Five!
ACF DEFEATED!
Nice looking franchise icon BTW.
MARIO - [UNKNOWN]
Margera1987: Gary, you know who that is?
Gars: You're kidding right. It's [Unknown]
Margera1987: [Unknown] made his first appearance in 2002. And since then he's become a forum wide phenomenon.
Margera1987: There's probably not a single user who doesn't know [Unknown] he's that famous.
Gars: Good thing I survived long enough to meet him on the field of PHP huh.
Margera1987: This is a once in a life time chance Gars. Now get out there and show him what you're made of. No regrets.
Gars: Got it.
LINK - RUNICWARRIOR
Gars: Clive, who's the guy with the Whiskey Bottle?
Clive: That's RunicWarrior, he's the hero of Scotland
Clive: That bottle in his hand is called the "Master Whiskey Bottle" also known as the "Bottle of Evil's Bane"
Clive: He also has whole arsenal of programs at his disposal. Photoshop, Notepad, and Opera, he's a force to be reckoned with.
Gars: Code is only useful when it's used at the right time and place. Just placing a load of it around doesn't do you any good.
Clive: I uh.. wouldn't be talking if I were you, Gars.
Gars: What's that Supposed to mean?
Clive: You tell me, Mr. WYSIWYG Editor.
Gars: ...
POKEMON TRAINER - AMACYTHE
Gars: Project Manager... Thats the girl giving orders behind a team right?
Margera1987: Right. And this Project Manager is controlling Development, Support and Documentation.
Margera1987: They represent code, help desks and manuals, and they're all powerful.
Gars: So she makes her teams fight while she sits back and watches. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me.
Margera1987: It's not like that Gars. Those teams wouldn't know what to do if the Project Manager wasnt there giving orders.
Margera1987: In every design, there's coder doing the code and a designer telling him what to do.
Margera1987: By working together as a team, they accomplish more than either could on their own.
Margera1987: So lets do this together. Partner.
Gars: Yeah, whatever you say Mike.
SNAKE - GAZMANAFC
Gars: Mike, it's me! I'm fighting myself!
Margera1987: Gars! Whats going on out there?!
Margera1987: Could it be..? Has the Multi Talk 2 project really come this far?
Gars: It's more than that. He's got my avatar, my signature, it's like looking in a mirror.
Margera1987: Do you think they collected data on you, and created another Gars?
Gars: He's got the same profile too. Creepy.
Gars: But his Membergroup is a different colour and his code is slightly different.
Margera1987: Interesting. So even if you're evenly matched in power, your coding styles will make a big difference.
Margera1987: You've faced tougher odds in the past Gars. Dont let this impostor beat you!
Remember, these are just for fun.
Do you have the whole set up online anywhere else?
As a fan of the Super Smash Bros. franchise, I definitely want to check them out!
