As awesome as that sounds... Why do I get the feeling that you're trying too hard?
I mean, like I said, even an endgame Isaac won't be as broken as at least 3 of us... As long as you set a pacing and don't jump from Nobody to Terminator in one turn, you won't have to worry about balance issues. Also, we're not fighting each other for real, so no need to actually try to balance power levels. ;)

I'm only worried about how I can make Isaac have a good fight with, let's say, Pokémon. It doesn't sound good.

If you manage to make the Pokemon moonwalk, I'm pretty sure that automatically makes the fight awesome.

BTW, Finch, I would like it if you didn't say anything about the dude with the mask, because approximately ten seconds after your post he and I are going to come slamming into the battlefield after a huge fight I'm setting up with Xana. Meaning that at that time, he is already fighting me.

Not a huge deal, and I'm not bothered or anything, just telling you so you can make your post accurate if you want. I did mention it on this thread earlier, but I don't think you were around, so not your fault for having missed it.

Don't see her online right now. By the way, why do you all call her "Isla" instead of "Kariese".
"Kariese" sounds cooler. And you can combine it with stuff. Like EldritchKariese on the coffee room. It's cleary the best nickname. ;)

...I'm not sure how to feel about that: flattered or mildly horrified. It might just end up being both.

How do you pronounce it? I gave little to no thought to pronunciation when I made up the word. :D

This is probably a good time to mention the 'i' in my name is long...I think. Yea... I didn't put too much thought into this either...

I don't know how to use fonetic notation... So explaining it is kind of tricky.
ka-rí-ese I guess.
A normal sounding ka, as in Car, followed by a strong rí ("ry"-thim, not an I sounding i) trailling off to an "ess" sound, but with the last weak 'e' still perceptible.

But it's subject to some experimentation, that's me trying to pronounce it while fitting the name in my english speech...
If I talk in portuguese, the strong sylabe tends a bit more to the 'es', with the ending sounding more like the end of "realise". To be honest, I like both sounds. :D

I hope this wasn't too confusing.

Soooooo guys, I got a question. Xana has said that this miniboss dude is going to be a recurring boss. (Tell me if I misunderstood your message) Therefore, this is gonna be his weak incarnation and he will survive the fight. I'm already planning on giving up my go at the mooks to get into a battle with the mini-boss, so I'm wondering how much damage I can get away with doing. Obviously, killing is out of the question, and I already have a reason to justify Sabrac not trying to kill the dude. Other than that, how am I limited? Do you guys want a go at him too, or do you care? If I do leave him for you he will already be severely weakened because even if I get one scratch in, Stigma will pretty much guarantee victory. I've got a pretty cool battle planned out for if you guys are OK with my taking the first boss-round against this dude, and even a way for him to escape.

However, I can see why you would want him to keep going, so it's totally OK if you want me to leave him. Just wanted to ask so I know what I can do.

Sorry. This world, or at least in the start of this world, Xana is planning stuff up. He isn't telling me, and I'm not asking, stuff so I'm not affected by spoilers. I know there's something coming somewhen, but I don't know what it is (I'm lying because spoilers). I can't quite answer that question.

No I'm already in contact with Xana. I just need to know if it's OK with you guys as PLAYERS before I start trying to talk about it to him.

Oh. Well, I have no issues with Sabrac being badass again. I'm... fairly accustomed to novel-long posts by now.
