    So after some discussion, we've decided to begin working on getting the next FFKT started, preferably within the year, or early next year at the latest. Mostly at the moment we're just looking for people both willing and committed to participating in the FFKT [some of you have already said you're ready to go]

    I also wanted to suggest an idea I had, based on how recently the tournament has been dominated by kaiju powerhouses, which tend to overpower the other kaiju because of their creator's monster making experience. So I wanted to propose the idea of instead going old school, and designing kaiju more along the lines of Pacific Rim and Godzilla 2014, who are in turn quite similar to the old school kaiju of the Showa Era.

    In the old days, the kaiju fought mostly with tooth and claw, armored scales and spikes, and at best had a single beam attack that usually could only set things on fire. I figured that if we did another FFKT like we have before, everyone's going to go overboard supercharging their creations, the n00bs trying to max out their creations to compete with the veterans, forcing the veterans to in turn boost their own creations, which ultimately perform much better because their bios and abilties are more refined and well developed.

    But having everyone building underpowered kaiju would provide a greater challenge for everyone, and make the fights a bit more discussion worthy, with the winners be chosen for genuine combat prowess, VS the winner being whoever's the biggest and has the coolest superpower. Not to say that this tournament's kaiju can't have a few special tricks up their sleeves, but they should be along the lines of something seen in the classic Showa Era, and the new Pacific Rim and Godzilla movies.

    Kiryu came up with this modified stat chart, after I suggested the idea of going old school with the next FFKT, hopefully I'm not overstepping my authority by showing this [I kind of posted a couple of updates that the admins weren't quite ready to announce at the time, never been so embarrased! :apologetic: ]

    Quote:
     
    Name: Your kaiju's name

    Classification: type of kaiju; can be more than one
    Alignment: evil, good, neutral, etc.
    Height: (up to 100 meters)
    Length: (up to 100 meters)
    Mass: (up to 10,000 tons)
    Wingspan: (up to 100 meters)

    (From below, only use those applicable)
    Maximum Flight Speed: (up to Mach 3)
    Maximum Swim Speed: (up to 50 knots)
    Maximum Run Speed: (up to 100 kph)
    Maximum Burrow Speed: (up to 25 kph)

    Powers:
    List and describe each ability. You are allowed up to 6 abilities, split between offensive, defensive, and passive.

    Strengths: What your kaiju excels at.

    Weaknesses: What your kaiju has trouble with.

    Origin: Describe how your kaiju came to be.

    Appearance: Describe what your kaiju looks like. If possible, include a picture.


    At the least this may help provide a framework for any new or modified creations, hopefully this doesn't screw anyone's plans to participate too much.

    “Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy.They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them.”

    An ability that remains active all the time, and doesn't need to be consciously activated.

    Hmmm... I just might have a chance to win FFKT this year if the current ideas stand. (Well I don't think I'll win in all realistic honesty, but I think with the daikaiju(s) I'm highly considering whipping out from my secret stash... I just could go deep into the tournament for if I recall correctly, my first time.)
    I was known as Ludacriszilla, but have since changed my username since it is the full name of my primary kaijusona, Sobek.

    This is going to be a normal tournament; there are no Showa era restrictions for profiles anymore. That being said, all profiles will be reviewed by the Council of the Beast and some members may be contacted to adjust any problem profiles (namely if a kaiju is deemed too weak to stand up to the majority of others in terms of size and mass).
