HeroClix, the 17 of November, Street Fighter vs Gears of War

Welcome to another week of HeroClix. The previews for this week were l Rick Jones, A-Bomb, Hulkbuster Squad Leader, Joe Fixit (aka Hulk), General Thunderbolt Ross and Red Hulk from the Incredible Hulk set; Aragorn, Merry, Pippin and Mr. Underhill (a clear plastic Frodo Baggings) from the Lord of the Rings set; and Supergirl, Steel, Lex Luthor, Kryptonian Renegade and Bizarro from the Battle for Smallville Fast Forces set.

For this week's event was an Independence Day special. All that Darren said is to just bring yourselves, but be ready for three rounds of 300 points. No team building was needed, odd. When we got the Darren reviled the teams. There were:

Street Fighter
Ryu (Street Fighter) 50
Blanka (Street Fighter) 50
Dhalsim (Street Fighter) 50
Chun-Li (Street Fighter) 50
Guile (Street Fighter) 50
Ken (Street Fighter) 50
=300 points and one re-roll.

Watchmen
Rorschach (Watchmen Fast Forces) 75
Silk Spectre (Watchmen Fast Forces) 75
Night Owl (Watchmen Fast Forces) 75
Ozymandias (Watchmen Fast Forces) 75
=300 points and two re-rolls.

Gears of War
Marcus Fenix (Gears of War) 91
Anya Stroud (Gears of War) 63
Damon Baird (Gears of War) 79
Dominic Santiago (Gears of War) 66
=299 points and two re-rolls.

Hellboy
Hellboy (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) 125
Liz Sherman (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) 55
Johann Kraus (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) 50
Captain Ben Daimio (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) 65
=295 points and two re-rolls.

Everybody will control a different each round team each round. In the first round I was up against Adrian. I was using the Hellboy team while Adrian used the Gears of War team. Gears of War cream the Hellboy. On the second round I was up against Michael. I was using Street Fighter this time while Michael used Hellboy. It was a tough fight due to Ken not being able to his, but the Street Fighter won it at the end. On the third and final round I was up against Darren. I was using the Watchmen team while Darren used the Hellboy team. It one of the rare times I bet Darren, as Watchmen defeated Hellboy.

On first thoughts be for the game, we thought the starter set Street Fighter team would do badly due to lack of range, however they won all three of there games. Gears of War won two games, Watchmen one one and Hellboy lose all three of there games. Watchman could have done better if Michael and Adrian remembered Silk Spectre's trait that gives her Flurry if she was within four squares of Night Owl and Rorschach's Indomitable. Also after the first game I was shock the Gears of War did not won all three games as Marcus Fenix is really good. High attack, high defense, high damage reduction and Indomitable.

Next week's game will be 300 points, no fighter over 125 points, at least half the figures (not points) must be figures that you have never used before. I can  use that special team I have designed. There is also another special team I have be looking at but that has to wait until the Lord of the Rings HeroClix are released.

Now for DreamClix. This week I will be doing ideas for Kyosuke Higuchi from Death Note; Military Boomer from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040; Clovis la Britannia from Come Geass; Shinigami from Soul Eater; and Yamcha from Dragon Ball. But first here are the dial designs for Sergeant Stan and a Vampire Ninja generic from the Blade anime; Alcapone from Soul Eater; Ghostree from CosmicBreak; and a AD Police Office generic from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040.

Next is Kyosuke Higuchi from Death Note. Kyosuke Higuchi is the yotsuba "Kira," receiving the Death Note from Rem, who was instructed to give it to a "greedy," "forceful," and "selfish" individual who would use the Death Note to attain a higher status that was out of his reach. He was the head of Technology Development at the Yotsuba Corporation, and is part of the Yotsuba Group, eight members of the Yotsuba Corporation that use the Death Note to kill individuals from competing companies in order to dominate the business industry. Higuchi was a graduate of Wasegi University Political Science department, the son of Jiro Higuchi, president of Yotsuba Heavy Industrial, and was ranked Five-Dan in kendo. When he receives the Death Note, he is instructed by Rem to carry out routine killings of criminals, then do whatever he pleases with the Note outside of the killings. He then meets weekly with the rest of the Yotsuba Group to discuss the killing of key individuals from competing companies to maintain dominance in the business industry. While they realize that one of them is Kira, they do not know it is Higuchi. During L's probe on the group, Higuchi kills Hatori after Hatori produced a "careless outburst." Rem aids the capture of Higuchi by revealing his identity to Misa. Misa reveals her admiration of Kira and uses her status as the second Kira to get him to propose to her and admit to being Kira on tape. Kyosuke Higuchi Trade Shinigami Eyes as he appears in anime Added by Mrkrules He is then betrayed by his fellow Yotsuba Group members, which involves Matsuda appearing on Sakura TV to reveal that Higuchi is Kira. This leads to him acquiring the Shinigami Eyes, and he uses them to evade the police for a short time on his way to Sakura TV. However, he is eventually thwarted by a masked police blockade set up by Aizawa, an ex-member of the task force, much to the surprise of L who had asked the police not to get involved in the arrest. He attempts to commit suicide so he won't get caught, but Watari uses his expert marksmanship to shoot the gun out of his hand. He then reveals to everyone the existence of Death Notes. Light touches the Death Note while inspecting it, thereby regaining his memories of being the real Kira. Light then uses a Death Note scrap hidden in his watch to kill Higuchi. He should have the "Death Note" trait, the "Shinigami Eyes" special ability, Stealth, Psychic Blast and Mastermind.

Death Note: When Kyosuke Higuchi makes a close combat attack, he suffers a -2 to both his Attack and Damage values.
Shinigami Eyes: Kyosuke Higuchi ignore all terrain and characters for line of sight.

He should have about four or five clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 9, Attack 10, Defense 16, Damage 3 and Range 8 with three targets. He should not have a TA and his keyword should be Kira. The next Death Note idea should be a generic Criminal.

Next is a Military Boomer from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. These are large Boomers design for use in the military. They should have the Giant symbol, two specials called "Absorb" and "Weapon of Mass Destruction" Force Blast, Invulnerability, Toughness, Energy Shield Deflection and Regeneration.
Absorb: The character can use Steal Energy but only on characters with ever the Armour or Robot keyword.

Weapon of Mass Destruction: Military Boomer can use Psychic Blast, Super Strength, Range Combat Expert and Energy Explosion.

It should have about eight clicks of health and starting combat values Movement 9, Attack 10, Defense 16, Damage 3 and Range 8 with three targets. It should not have a TA and its keywords should be Robot and Soldier. The next Bubblegum Crisis idea should be a un-armoured Sylia Stingray.

Next is Clovis la Britannia from Come Geass. Clovis la Britannia is the Third Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire and former Viceroy of Area 11. He is timid and narcissistic, as well as unaccustomed to failure. He and Lelouch would often play chess during their childhood; despite consistently losing, Clovis viewed Lelouch as a friendly rival. Clovis was apparently involved in the research on C.C. and others like her, and he feared that his involvement might get him disowned were it made public. When C.C.'s capsule is stolen by Japanese resistance fighters under the mistaken belief that it contains poison gas, Clovis is quick to order the eradication of the Shinjuku ghetto to disguise his secret project. Once Lelouch is given the power of Geass, he organizes the resistance to defeat Clovis's forces and confront his brother, killing him after extracting what little information Clovis has about his mother's death. He should have Leadership and Mastermind. He should have about three clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 8, Attack 8, Defense 16, Damage 1 and Range 4 with one target. He should have the Britannia TA and his keywords should be Celebrate, Ruler and Britannia. The next Code Geass idea should be Lloyd Asplund.

Next is Lord Death (Shinigami) from Soul Eater. The personification of Death, father of Death the Kid, and the founder and headmaster of Death Weapon Meister Academy. He is rather goofy in appearance, wearing a cartoonish skull mask and speaking with an odd, playful singsong tone. He behaves somewhat childishly, and is overall very friendly. He also possesses a pair of large white hands resembling foam hands which he uses to perform a technique called the "Shinigami Chop" ("Reaper Chop" in the English anime) mainly as a form of discipline for those who act out of hand. After defeating the kishin Asura, a former disciple of his, Lord Death bound his entire soul around Death City to keep Asura sealed underground. Unable to leave the city because of this, Lord Death founded DWMA to train meisters and weapons to prevent more kishin from surfacing and create Death Scythes to help him maintain the peace. He once had a more menacing and realistic appearance which ended up inadvertently scaring his younger students, prompting him to assume his current look. His current Death Scythe partner is Spirit, Maka's father, who he often finds annoying but is eager to use since he is the only Death Scythe who actually is a scythe. He prefers to remain in a special chamber in DWMA building called the "Death Room," which can be contacted through mirrors and other reflective surfaces by writing the number 42-42-564 on them. Now this dial should be him as headmaster of the DWMA, so more of a support character then a high power combatant. He should have a special called "Weapons of Lord Death", Leap Climb, Indomitable, Defend, Super Senses, Probability Control, "Shinigami Chop" (Close Combat Expert) and Outwit.

Weapons of Lord Death: If there is at less one character adjacent to Lord Death with the keyword "Death Scythe", Lord Death gains the Flight symbol and a +1 to both Attack and Damage values. He can only carry characters with the "Death Scythe" keyword.

He should have about six or seven clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 10, Attack 10, Defense 18, Damage 3 and Range 0. He should have the Soul Eater TA and his keywords should be Shinigami and DWMA. The next Soul Eater idea should be Death Scythe.

Lastly is Yamcha from Dragon Ball. This version is Yamcha with out Yu'ar as he enters the Worlds Strongest Under the Sun tournament. Goku was not the only one who had been training. He should have Flurry, Combat Reflexes, Toughness, Close Combat Expert and Exploit Weakness. He should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 8, Attack 10, Defense 17, Damage 3 and Range 0. He should have the Dragon Ball TA and his keywords should be Dragon Ball Gang, Warrior and Martial Artist. The next Dragon Ball idea should be Goku after his training with Master Roshi.

Well that is it for this week. Until next time, have fun.
