Olde Attacks

[+Chaos Blade+]

In my newest fic: Din, in some old library books, verbal commands, and some other forms of speaking or writing, I have inserted some old commands.

For example, the "king" of the town of Noyir has a Dugtrio named Bahlnore, and commands it to use Mud-Slap and Earthquake, however, since this chapter took place many years ago, in the BC years, I have described Mud-Slap "Slap of the Mud" and Earthquake "Titanic Magnitude".

Others I shall insert are "Face of the Fearful" [Scary Face], "Aqua Pulsation" [Water Pulse], and "Blast of the Hydra" [Hydro Pump].

What do you think of these "Olde-style Attacks"? Please post comments.

 

[IceKing]

Sounds like a good idea to me, but some of them can sound more oldish like face of the fearful could be Coutenance of the Beast and Aqua Pulsation could be Oceanic Pulsation, some older stuff like that

 

[+Chaos Blade+]

Countenance of the Beast? I like. However, Oceanic Pulsation doesn't make sense, being that Water Pulse could refer to all sorts of aquatic elements. I'm perhaps thinking: "Pulsation of the Water"?

I got some more for future attacks: "Rush" [Quick Attack], "Erratic Rush of Rage" [Extremespeed], and "Intimidation with the Eyes" [Leer]

 

[Olyon]

I'm not too keen on them to be honest. Some of them sound a little too simple, such as the recent 'intimidation with the eyes'. However, it does sound like a good idea for older times; the way most are phrased fit in with those times well.

But like I said, some seem a little too broken down and simple.

 

[+Chaos Blade+]

I just thought of those, Olyon, so they're a bit simplified. Once I get my trusty thesaurus and dictionary with me during the final productions, I shall create more sophisticated and older-sounding. Okay?

 

[Saffire Persian]

I think it's a rather good idea - I like it. I found it rather amusing on the side, too - so kudos to you for thinking that up.

 

[The Big Al]

Blast of the Aqua Titan (Water Spout)
Blast of the Terra Titan (Erruption)

Of course these are the ultimate attack of the Kyogre and Groudon and titan is a very good way to describe them.

 

[PDL]

these all sound like Yu-Gi-Oh cards... XD...

 

[Eternal Daydreamer]

Greedy Riches (Pay Day)
Song of Loudness (Uproar)

These two above are very random, I think...

 

[PDL]

Cobweb of entrapment (Spider web)
Fit of forgetfulness (Amnesia)
Moment of springtime (Aromatherapy)
Crocodile tears of deception (Fake Tears)
Mysterious light of fright (Confuse Ray)

I could name more..

 

[Eternal Daydreamer]

Flora Blade (Leaf Blade)
Wings of the Sword (Steel Wing)
Attack of the Night Dweller (Faint Attack)
Charge of Finality (Takedown)
Arms of Trapping (Wrap)

 

[The Big Al]

Veil of Darkness (Night Shade)
Night Hammer (Sadow Ball)
Hellfire (Fire Spin)

 

[Eternal Daydreamer]

Areo Flyer (Arial Ace)
Lovers Kiss (Sweet Kiss)
Young Lover (Attract)
Rolling Wheel (Rollout)
Head Hitting (Headbutt)

 

[Bu†cH]

Thor's Hammer-Thunder
Force of God's Wrath-Hyper Beam
Devil's Trap, Devil's Twister, Cage of Hell-Fire Spin
Blow of the Phoenix-Sky Attack
Ram-Tackle
Thor's Punch-Thunderpunch
Hammer Tail-Iron Tail

 

[Faerie]

Sounds like a good idea to me. It's certainly unique, and I've never heard of anything quite like it before. Things change over time, of course, and having different attack names for olden times makes a lot of sense. I don't see why no one thought of it before. If you don't mind, I have some suggestions...

Original | New
Morning Sun | Morn Faerie's Dance *
Shadow Ball | Sphere of Darkness **
Air Cutter | Aerial Scythe
Aurora Beam | Borealis Arrow **
Silver Wind | Glistening Gale
Howl | Requiem of the Demon


* = This is an old English spelling of the word, and it should be used this way instead of the newer spelling.
** = Inspired by Bawooga, who is sitting beside me as I post this.

I may think of some more later. I think that your fic will turn out well, judging by what I've heard so far.

 

[IceKing]

Hmm lemme try and make some good ones now. Heres some from my Jynx Moveset

Attract- Malediction of the Heart
Ice Beam-Arctic Ray
Blizzard-Rage of the Tundra
Ice Punch-Frigid Strike
Mean Look-Malignant Glower
Lovely Kiss-Kiss of death! *is getting lazy*

 

[Ash_Junior]

in theory, it's a good idea, but...

in practice, it's too clunky.

seriously.

look at how wordy these are!

if you were in a battle, you'd want quick, terse commands so you could get more attacks in, not commands that take five seconds just to say!

*chuckles*

seriously.

just think about it.

 

[Shadowcat]

Wow. I can't believe you're all interested in just a different form of writing attacks. XP - I should do this more often. And some of them, like Dilasc's and Faerie's [I know olde terms, Faerie. I know teh Olde Englishe. ]. Thanks for the kudos and suggestions, guys.
