Well, I guess that maybe me not telling anyone what it was or what it could do was my strategy? ;D (Even though it obviously wasn't)

It was kinda cheap since it was essentially part of the rules if I'm not mistaken.

By that logic, if we are doing a rematch, shouldn't you tell Birdie what your hidden tricks are?

I finished my battle already also.

There are no hidden tricks. It all depends on how I USE the light. Which is rather obvious, since it's a PRISM cat.

If anything, it's the cat part that you need to worry about.

This is rediculous. Who cares if you lost? Why go through the trouble of doing it all over again? I mean, even with a rematch a lot of people probably won't respect it enough to change their minds.

It's because apparently people thought I wasn't "fancy" enough to beat a shape shifter. Why didn't you say it was a shapeshifter, Birdie? Or for that matter, what it was in general?

I voted for FoG because it was better executed. While I agree that Prism would be lots of fun in the future, FoG was the clear winner here. FoG's art was better and attacks were more interesting, while Prism just shot fire and was mostly done with images taken from your initial animation. This is a competition, not a campaign; we are supposed to vote based on who did a better job rather than who we think will do a better job in the future. I mean, I think a future battle with Eirrukovi dodging beams of fire from a kitten would be amazing, but I don't want that to influence me.

I thought it wasn't a battle based on how well you could draw. If I had known that, I would've sketched everything.

But what did you think it was based on? The only thing you had over Birdie was that future battles with Prismcat might be kind of fun, and we shouldn't let that influence our decision for this battle.

Then what was this?

Saying you didn't have to draw well doesn't mean the result is random. I didn't draw anything and I beat Crimi. Risp just did sprites in Paint and beat Paco. You have two chances to do something better than your opponent, not necessarily drawing. Like I said, future battles with PC may be interesting, but it's unfair to vote on the character rather than the battle.

Who said anything about you losing on grounds of artwork alone?

This concerns me about my fighter. Prism Cat was fighting using basic attacks involving light, yet he lost to some stupid face on a wall. How does my soldier fight? With a laser gun and some grenades.

So if my soldier picked a fight with FOG, I would be wasting hours of drawing time because Everybody else will love FOG for simply turning my rabbit into a red smear.

So that means that opponents who fight involving a basic element cannot fight against a target that is more "Random" with his attacks.

I think we are going to need some guidelines set up on how to vote.

I think it's a statement that you feel threatened because of something imaginative. The voting is based on opinion, and I think that the consensus is that you just vote for the person who overall entertained the audience better. Can it be that hard to realize that it's not about who wins or who draws better? A basic element can be turned into something creative with ease.

I think the fairness comes from the fact that there are no guidelines. Art is all about warrenting a reaction. Your goal is to get votes from the battle, and you can do this by making people go "ooooh", "hahahaha", "hmmmm", or "omg". If you can get a reaction, any reaction, people are more likely to support you than if it just makes people say "oh, so he lobbed a grenade" or "oh, so he shot fire". There's an air of surreality to FoG; it's monolithic, it's mechanical, it's gelatenous, and Birdie's exaggerated perspective and large images compliment this perfectly. FoG makes a >O face as it lashes its spiky black tongue through innocent kittens. It's a definite "oooh".

If you don't think you can outdo it in the "ooooh" department, you can try to outdo it in another. It's all about fighting apples with oranges... or something. I butchered that analogy.

I think voting based on whose punches you like more is simple enough...

That's essentially what I said, though I picked it apart a bit more =/

Yeah. You picked it apart a bit more, making it seem less simple. which is evil

I support Radium's reiteration of what I've said before. \o.

Puffie, it's not that hard to be imaginitive with your characters. For example, in the last three seconds I thought of Rabbitearth Soldier calling a bunch of friends and they throw the Face of God up into the air. And that's not even a good attack.

I guess I could sum up my comments what that Yes, I feel a little threatened about these imagnitive attacks. I take things in a technical matter when it comes to situations.

Plus, I replied just after I came out of a chemistry final, so I was a little strung out...

After reading you post thunder, I thought of a good attack, But I'll keep it on hand incase I face off with someone...

Wait, so it didn't matter how strong your attack was supposed to be?

Ugh, NOW they tell me. If they wanted imaginative I'd give them imaginative and then some.

Wasn't that.. obvious? I mean, anyone could be like "I summons level 4 SSJ vegitotrunks!" "Universe destroyer blast!"...

I chose power over imaginative. I thought this was a BATTLE after all.

If the factor was sheer power, then why would we need to have everyone vote?

Taken from the first post of this thread:

Good luck contestants, may the best crowd pleaser win.

Note how it doesn't say "May the most powerful killing machine win."
