GWC Community V2 Team Discussion

Ewwwww! :smiley: And damn, perhaps I shouldnā€™t have discounted the Sailormoons.

And, damn those 60s magical girls!:smiley: All right, Creamy Mami is I think the first of many marketing ploys to boost popularity for unknown real life Jpop singers masqueraded as a magical girl anime.

Me likey BadgerSpoonā€™s dream team. But Iā€™d sub in Douglas Adams for Arthur C Clarke (for more fun and comedy!).

Mathboy (Eli Wallace) is still out there too :wink:

Time for a team update. Anyone claimed Caprica Six yet? I have a feeling sheā€™d fit well in my Team Moral Ambiguity.

Youā€¦you picked like 3 of my favorite characters in one team. Niiiiiiiiice

I was this close to picking him as my martial artist before settling on Deadpool. Glad to see someone else picked him up, though!

I missed the first one and would really like to take part in this one. Hereā€™s my list of draftees, pending approval of course.

Pilot/Driver:
Ricky Bobby

ā€œThat just happened!ā€
ā€œI wanna go fast.ā€

Tech:
Dexter ā€œDexā€ Dearborn

Dex: Look, what ever you do donā€™t shoot!
Sky Captain: Erā€¦ Okay!
Dex: You shot it, didnā€™t you?
Sky Captain: Yes.

Recon:
Briareos

Martial Arts:
Deunan Knute

This is gonna be so much fun!

I was surprised ThotFullGuy hadnā€™t snagged him. He used him for the first league.

I canā€™t believe no one has picked Doctor Horrible yet as their Tech guyā€¦:eek:

Not only that, thereā€™s 9 incarnations of The Doctor to snag. (only 8 & 10 are taken)

Iā€™m surprised no one picked Bumblebee, Samwise, or Liara. A few of Seanā€™s favorites. d:

Well, we have to admit his tech is usually ā€¦not quite there.

Iā€™ve been bored and coming up with various other teams, Iā€™m officially not claiming any of these, but I submit them for amusement or for others to potentially draft from.

Team Eats Crack for Breakfast
Driver Marie (Please Teacher)
Tech Specialist Kaola (Love Hina)
Recon Spartan 1337 (Halo: Legends)
Martial Artist Aisha Clan Clan (Outlaw Star)

The theory here came from talks I had with friends about some characters in anime who are over the top on energy/insanity. We usually said they had eaten crack for breakfast, as the only way to have that energy/insanity. Marie is the broken main computer for a starship who is constantly making funny faces and noises, and communicates without any words. The broken-ness leads to him occasionally (and hilariously) messing up teleportation orders, refusing to function, etc. Kaola is constantly putting together crazy machines, from flying metal turtles to a full sized horse robot. If she ever concentrated sheā€™d destroy the world (A good alternate for her would be Ed from Cowboy Bebop). Recon was once again my weakness, until I remembered Spartan 1337 from Halo Legends. Incompetence with Bravado and a whole lot of luck. After these greats, Aisha was a shoo-in for Martial Artist, as sheā€™s the craziest hands on fighter I know of.

Generic Anime Awesomeness
Driver Maximillian Sterling (Robotech)
Tech Specialist Urahara Kiske (Bleach)
Recon Naomi Armitage (Armitage III)
Martial Artist Twilight Sazuka (Outlaw Star)

My second gender balanced team, this was a collections of perhaps overlooked characters from anime who could all kick butt and take names in their own way. I would have to point out that, besides Armitage, all these are only secondary characters from their anime, but still are incredibly qualified for their jobs.

Team Final GWC Fantasy
Driver Balthier (FFXII)
Tech Specialist Cid Highwind (FFVII)
Recon Squall Lionheart (FFVIII)
Martial Artist Tifa Lockheart (FFVII)

And after all of this I couldnā€™t resist making a Final Fantasy Team. I had thought of tossing Cid in as a pilot, but then I couldnā€™t think of a tech man other than Rikku from FFX. Selphie could double as a pilot/driver, she piloted the Ragnarok in VIII, but I thought Balthier was a much better (and classier choice). Of the Martial Artists, I only know the later ones, (Yuffie, Tifa, Amarant, and Yang (though heā€™s from III I think), and of them Tifa seemed to clearly stand in a class of her own. Recon was more difficult (as always), but I decided to toss Squall in there as all that training as a super elite mercenary must be worth something. And heā€™s a hero.

Repeat, these ARE NOT choices for teams or alternates, just thrown here as idea starters or amusement.

Team Whatsername

Pilot: Jagged Fel

Tech Expert: Chewbacca

Recon: Leliana

Martial Artist: Darth Revan

Maximillian Sterling and Roy Focker were both in the running for Pilot on my team, but I felt Corranā€™s budding Jedi talents would give him an edge other pilots would not have.

I had been planning on Coran as my Recon guy until you snagged him. Rebel Alliance Training, Former CorSec Investigator, Jedi Abilities, Fighter Pilot, he had it coming and going. Not to mention the Force Suggestions to make people believe they hadnā€™t seen him.

For a while I thought of stealing Wraith Squadron, because they always got the job done with the hijinks included, but I eventually dropped that one.

Max Sterling was also one of my early favorites. Decided to go with someone a little more reckless and over the top. However, might I recommend Launchpad McQuack. ā€œIf it flies, I can crash it.ā€

Also considered:
The Nite Owl II and Dr. Edward Morbius as Tech experts
Dexter Morgan as Recon

I forsee another team, with Launchpad McQuack as Pilot, Gadget from Rescue Rangers as Tech Specialist, Darkwing Duck as Recon andā€¦somebody else as a martial artist.

Think Iā€™ll call mine Team Ladyparts!

Helen Parr / Elastigirl - Pilot

hmmmā€¦Yosemite Sam, perhaps? Or Duck Dodgers?

I too thought of Maximillian and his wife, but my knowledge of them is limited. Seems like heā€™s many peopleā€™s second choices.

Lol @ Launchpad McQuack. That would be interesting.

bkittyā€™s team is full of win though. Wow! Props for going old skool picking Jamie Sommers.

OK, here goes Team Edoz.

Pilot: Cpt. Steven Hiller (Will Smithā€™s char from Independence Day)
Tech: Claudia Donovan (Warehouse 13)
Recon: Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell)
Martial Aritst: Obi-Wan Kenobi (I canā€™t believe no one picked him, and I looked 3 times. If I have to specify and era for him, Iā€™d say Revenge of the Sith era.
