History On Li:

His Journey was not yet over for their had been one more threat that would overtake the earth as he and his allies rapidly approached a dark castle in the distance on the Six Machine. Suddenly without warning a huge gust knocked his allies overboard and onto the ground below but before hitting and facing their inevitable demise rifts in time-space opened to save them but made them teleport to who knows where. "What the heck is going on?" As Joe was about to go after them the rifts closed and one opened on his end as him and the Six machine were hurdled to an unknown place.

As the rift closed behind him the Six Machine was gone and he was falling from the sky onto a cliff and into a pile of rocks.

"Oww that hurt, Where am I anyhow?" Joe asked in confusion as he took in his surroundings.

Joe tried contacting the others through his V-watch but to no avail, he was on his own again. "Just great! I'm lost!"

Joe wondered the desert like lands for what seemed like an hour until finally reaching a castle but it was very different than the castle he saw before, it actually looked peaceful and totally not evil. As Joe walked in it seemed just like a normal town inside the castle he was traversing. "That's weird. There isn't anything or anyone that looks even a little bit evil." As Joe walked on he spotted something he was really thankful for right now. a fountain with water!

As Joe drank from the fountain he was getting stared at due to it being a park fountain, but then he was being stared at from the beginning due to his outfit.

A man about Blue's age walked over to Joe and tapped him on the shoulder. "You new here sonny? If so you came at the wrong time, we are fighting for our lives here." Joe got up and looked at the man as he gave him a thumbs up sign. "Yeah the name's Joe...." Joe started as he turned into a pose "Viewtiful Joe!"

He finished. Some of the people were impressed with Joe but others not as the man told them of their struggles and how the land is dying.

"Leave it to me! That's what heroes are for after all!" Joe meant what he said and was determined to give this place it's own happy ending and somehow find his friends in the process.

Revamping some moves.

Removing Groovy Uppercut and replacing it with this:

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Move changes have been:

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Hmm, a'ight...

VFX Bar's stat boost function still requires more explanation. Is it supposed to keep boosting Joe forever? Does it go beyond the cap? Is he supposed to lose them when he wastes all his VFX Bars?

Also, you might've misunderstood what I meant by the cooldown for the Viewtiful Store. The shop itself would be on a cooldown after you bought an item in order to accommodate for the fact that you can buy yourself healing items. Not to mention, you can hold up to three of those items. Not sure if putting individual cooldowns on certain items is gonna fly around here.

This is more of a recommendation, but Voomerang and Shocking Pink can potentially share the same damage, except Shocking Pink has a 10% chance of inflicting Paralysis. It just makes the attacks feel rather...samey, y'know? Again, just a recommendation.

Looking at it better, both VFX Juice and Red VFX Juice could get their prices upped a tad, 'cause...well, VFX Bars are incredibly versatile.

Making a change to how VFX Meter works. 

VFX Meter: [CON] The VFX Meter is the main source of power for Viewtiful Joe. This adds a meter much like a MP Bar that can be spent on actions and damage to further enhance them. Joe can spend 1 VFX Bar to do either one of three things. The first being that Joe can add a 1d8 to one of his damage rolls for additional damage for one attack only per bar spent.

The second being he can add a +1 to any stat modifier for 1 turn, The third thing being he can convert VFX Bars into Viewtiful Points. 1 Bar is 200 Viewtiful Points. Each time the VFX Meter is used it costs an action.


When spending VFX Bars they do not cost actions and instead are spent when using attacks for Viewtiul Joe. VFX when used also affects attacks they are spent on. The buffs that are spent on as part of the current VFX still cost actions.

Viewtiful Joe gets 6 VFX and a maximum of 10 however Joe can only gain temporary extra bars of VFX via the VFX Juices in the form of the green extra bars. These green bars only last 1 turn per bar. Joe can never keep his extra bars beyond his 6 base VFX. Also if Joe is below 6 VFX and he uses a VFX Juice it just refills his base bars and fills up beyond that if the bars ever hit beyond 6. For example Joe is at 5 bars of VFX and drinks 1 VFX Juice which grants 2 bars of VFX. This gives back 1 base VFX bar and adds 1 temporary Green Bar.


When all of the VFX are spent at any given time Viewtiful Joe has to pay the cost of the VFX Meter as he turns back into Normal Joe for 2 turns with a stat modifier reduction at -2 for all stats and the inability to use the VFX Meter or the Viewtiful Store for that duration. After the 2 turn period of time that he is Normal Joe is over he will turn back into Viewtiful Joe and have all of his base VFX back minus the green bars of course. Joe regains 1 bar of VFX per turn but only if he has at least 1 VFX bar left to allow it to recharge, otherwise he turns into Normal Joe and has to wait for his VFX to fully recharge after turning back to Viewtiful Joe.

Mach Speed: Joe rapidly jabs at his enemy at high speeds while lighting himself and his opponent on fire due to the speed, then ends the attack with a launching uppercut.
When using VFX on Mach Speed, Joe goes for an extra attack which does 10% damage instead of 5%, this extra attack is not an extra combo. Costs 1 VFX Bar for the extra attack. 
[5% DMG] [10% Burn] [Combo-able] [STR]

Red-Hot Kick: His signature move, where he attacks from midair with a flying kick with him surrounded by fire. Can fly in three different directions; Up, Down and Forwards! When using VFX on Red Hot Kick this attack gains 5% more damage upon impact an an extra 10% Burn chance. [15% DMG] [30% Burn] [STR]

Go Go Six Cannon!: Joe's trusty Six Machine in the form of the giant cannon is equipped by Joe and then he fires a large laser blast at foes dealing a high amount of damage but Joe is recoiled with 6% damage to him. When VFX is spent on this attack Joe does not take recoil from using this attack, costs 1 bar for this effect. [25% DMG] [AOE] [DEX]

Viewtiful Points and Store: Any VFX bars that are spent to add points no longer cost actions but can only be done once per turn, anymore than that and it costs actions again.

Slow Motion: Upon activation of this skill Joe is granted a boost of STR and DEX of 4 for 2 turns giving a +2 modifier. Any attacks that land during the time period this skill is active have a 10% chance of Slow on the foe per attack. Duration is 2 turns with a 3 turn cooldown. When VFX is spent on Slow Motion it grants an extra 10% chance of Slow per attack, costs 1 VFX bar for this effect.

[Mari]

Apologies, but I can't approve this because you did not list the new VFX Meter text in your list of revisions.

[Jade Callisto]

Does that work better Marin?

[Mari]

Alright Alviss, I've finished reviewing this move, and I've gotta talk with you. There are a few things that need to be addressed.

1) VFX Meter: It took me several hours to wrap my head around the math behind this move. The primary reason for how long it took is that it's pretty difficult to read. I'm not saying your English is bad, because in my opinion when you write actual posts they're easy enough to read. However it seems like mechanics really trip you up. Here's an example:

Each time the VFX Meter is used it costs an action.

When spending VFX Bars they do not cost actions and instead are spent when using attacks for Viewtiul Joe.

The first sentence says VFX meter costs an action to use. However, the second sentence written directly after it implies but does not directly state that it does not. I don't know if you want to ask another member for help simplifying and rewriting this to be easier to read, but in its current state the readability issue is a problem. Even though I (mostly, I think) understand it now, I need to know that other people will be able to easily read and understand it too. So.



2) Viewtiful Points and Store: This move is essentially Part 2 of VFX Meter. It's impossible to balance one without balancing the other since they interact with and depend upon each other. Here's the thing. THIS move has like 9+ sub-moves and basically usurps the entire move learning process. To the point where there's not much benefit to learning new moves because you can just extend this instead. If you want to damage people, it does that. If you want to heal them, it does that. Buffs? Does that too.

You have almost as much moves in this thing as some of the strongest characters on the site have altogether. And while I'm glad you have so many ideas for Joe, I have to ask: Couldn't they just be normal moves?




3) Exploits in VFX Meter: There are a couple of 'exploit' loopholes in this move. For example. What is stopping him from simply using the bar he gets every turn to have a +1 to any stat mod he chooses just... free? On a semi-permanent basis. For no real downside.

Or just having +1d8 damage every turn.




4) Exploits in Viewtiful Points and Store: The VFX juices cost less VFX bars to make than they restore when one drinks them. Couldn't you just use them to get infinite VFX Bars in between fights?

Those healing meals are pretty cheap for how much they heal. Especially considering they don't use charimsa like most healing moves. I would consider them a little OP in their current state.



5) The result: I'm forced to unapprove Joe until these issues--all of them--are addressed. If you're wondering why this wasn't caught earlier, it's because the person who originally approved your app... probably didn't actually read it. We had issues with that in the past. I assume that others that came after simply only reviewed the changes and not the app as a whole, so they didn't notice. So I apologize for that. :u



6) My Best Suggestion: ...Get rid of the Viewtiful Points and Store move. Start adding these moves to your regular moveset as you gain new moves. Maybe you'll only want one move for healing meals, or one move for VFX Juices.

Overhaul VFX meter with a much simpler mechanic. Consider this: What if it gained a bar for every 25% damage done, and those bars could be spent to lower the cooldown on a move by 1 turn or boost a modifier by +1 for 1 turn. By lowering the cooldown on a move, you essentially allow him to use his other moves more often. Which ultimately means that if you have a move for a cheeseburger with a cooldown that all healing moves have, you can use VFX meter to use it more often in a similar manner to what you've got going on here.

Still a good mechanic, only it's much simpler yeah? That's just my best attempt at a fix though. Perhaps you could write your healing move so that you can also spend a bar to upgrade it to a half-combo meal or a full-combo meal.

VFX Meter: [CON] The VFX Meter is the main source of power for Viewtiful Joe. This adds a meter much like a MP Bar that can be spent on actions and damage to further enhance them. Viewtiful Joe gets 6 VFX to start out with and Viewtiful Joe gains a bar for every 25% damage done, and those bars are able to be spent to lower the cooldown on a move by 1 turn, boost a modifier by +1 for 1 turn or add a 1d8 to any attack roll. When Joe runs out of VFX he reverts back to his normal form and cannot access his VFX during that state for 2 turns with a -2 Mod to all of his stats. When Joe turns back to Viewitul Joe after those two turns he gains all of his VFX back and his stats return back to normal.

Replacer for Viewtiful Store:

Take 2!: A director's clapperboard that can be used to heal 1d15+CHA to a single target, whether it be for Joe or an ally. If the target being healed is 0% or lower than it heals them back to 10% health but with a -1 Mod to all stats. The second effect applies to Joe only once per thread and can only be used if he used this move on himself prior to being defeated. Cooldown 3 turns. [CHA]

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Just adding a note here for preference: usually when characters gain a new transformation/ally in the form of a separate character, there’s normally an in-story explanation where they come from in the form of a mission or possibly a one-off thread, it is encouraged for you to do the same with Silvia. Feel free to do so after this transformation is approved.

As for the transformation itself, there’s only one move that’s in need of some light tweaking:

Cool Blue Kick: does a little too much damage for an attack with a secondary effect and no cooldown. At 15% damage, it should have a maximum of 10% chance to Paralyze, though alternatively, it could do 13% damage instead and keep its 30% chance to paralyze.

[Jade Callisto]

I fixed it. Also that's a good idea. I'll probably make a one off thread or something that acts as the base of getting Silvia later.
