Title: Pocky War!! 2010 The Panel
Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on September 08, 2009, 03:07:36 am
Ninjas gather and choose your side of Pocky: Chocolate or Strawberry. You will receive your honorable Pocky sword and tunic to rise and prove that you are the best flavor. The battle will be single duels between the clans' best ninja. If more join our cause, then we may have squads of 5 fight side-by-side, and representatives of other clans in the land of Pocky to aid in our struggle.

The rules of engagement are simple. Tag the enemy with your weapon before they tag you. Tags anywhere from the base of the neck to the groin defeat the enemy, so do hits on two limbs. Two arms, two legs, or one of each. An arm shot causes the arm to be lost behind your back, though you still fight with your spare hand. Leg shots cause the victim to kneel and walk on their knees, or plant their leg-struck foot on the ground, being able to pivot on, but not remove the foot or else be defeated. Shots to the same dead arm are a kill, but shots to the same dead leg do not count. Shots to the hand on a weapon and a foot on the ground do not count, also do shots to the head and neck. When you are hit in a location you call out what was hit, and call "dead!" if it was a kill shot. After the ninja have fought, the two Hokage step forward to finish the fight, and the defeated one must taste the winner's Pocky.

A modification to the skit could be that the two Hokage have a son and daughter on their own side, in love with each other. At the end of the battle, the loser's child begs them to try the other flavor. The beaten hokage likes it and declares that the two flavors will war no longer. The son and daughter use their love to forge a Pocky stick of peace, Choco-strawberry. Suddenly a rabid Pocky fangirl steals the choco-strawberry stick, and the two clans together chase her offstage.

Who would like to be a part of this mighty skit?

Because ninjas are deceptive, if one side seems to have too many, they may really be spies for the other clan. If one side has too many, I will have enough of them side with the other clan to balance out the sides.

NEVER! Chocolate be superior!

And by the way both of us will have shields to use. Stawberry Hokage gets a Cheez-it shield. Chocolate Hokage will have a Ritz cracker shield. There will also be a mercenary for each side with an odd-shaped pocky sword. One will wield a Blueberry Pocky keyblade. The other will unleash a giant white chocolate flatblade (either Tetsusaiga or buster sword). So if there are any Sora or Roxas, Inuyasha or Cloud cosplayers that want in, sign up and sword up.

Then both Hokage, will have their true identity hidden beneath their straw hats.

The Strawberry Hokage will be Roxas with his blueberry Pocky Keyblade.

The Chocolate Hokage will be myself as...Cloud and his white chocolate Pocky Buster Sword.

I'll be paying a visit to the Pocky Club to see who among their strongest members, are strong enough to fight for their flavor. By the way, wave 1 will be grunts armed with shortswords nicknamed "bitesabers", while wave 2 will be elites with longswords, nicknamed "lightsavers."

So, I'm deciding to change my cosplay from Roxas, to my uber sekrit cosplay. I know that that one I can wear a hat since the wig dosen't spike up, minus the bangs, but that's easy to work around.
Title: Re: Pocky War!! 2010
Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on October 16, 2009, 03:17:55 pm
Sounds bery sekrit indeeds. One thing that's always epic about samurai/ninja scenes is the grand final rush. The two charge, leap and slash, and whoever the quicker one was...the loser says a parting compliment and slumps over. In Amtgard if both players' shots hit at the same time within half a second of each other, then it's considered a mutual kill. Both players die and neither one wins. This may happen a lot when our grunts and elites battle in the first two waves. But then when it comes down to us, we have a normal match, then when one is struck down, both will jump back and do a grand final rush. After we both run by drawing the blade across the other's stomach, I will say the first line, whether I lose or not. My line will be specific to which flavor is superior. At that point one of us will fall over, the children will come out, and the rest plays out.

Two things come to mind, however. First, to do the grand rush, we would have only longswords, while the mercenaries we hired use the special weapons, the keyblade and buster sword. This however allows us to use shields, making it harder to find an opening and therefore more of a duel between master warriors. Second, if we didn't want to depend on the final slash to decide who wins, then using the special weapons ourselves would more than define it. I have a buster sword, with longer reach but requires more effort to use, while Strawberry Hokage has the keyblade, which is shorter but has teeth to hook and trap the longer weapon. So it seems victory is in favor of chocolate. But as said above: the longer they are, the harder it is to attack a closer opponent.

So what would be better? Shields and longswords, or epic special weapons?

Rabid fangirl, you will be. Steal the Pocky of peace you will, but run fast you must. Many angry ninja will chase after you, including the "dead" ones.

This one will work. The story is simple, and the fighting even simpler. The timing though needs to be worked on. In the spring we will sharpen this down.

In the end result that there will be no Strawberry aire, then the chocolate daughter would come in and stop the battle, and she would beg her father to end this war and try both flavors at the same time.

When spring rolls around, everyone that has a part will need to find the following in their size:
T-shirt or longsleeved shirt, and pants that match. While I will be making belts and headbands colored in pink and brown, enough for each member. The fangirl can come in regular cosplay, or schoolgirl cosplay if you can.

Fffffffftttt I'll just have pink arm bands and other stuff pink lidat since my cosplay is a pain in the ass to put on/off in a short period of time.
Title: Re: Pocky War!! 2010
Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on November 28, 2009, 01:58:32 am
Then the two hokage can choose to wear their own cosplay for the contest, while the followers will be in uniforms. I still will be dressed in my epic ninja-ness.

Also a tight addition to the ending if approved would be once the two villages are at peace, both sides throw either sticks of Pocky or boxes of it into the audience.
Title: Re: Pocky War!! 2010
Post by: Konan-ChanX3 on November 28, 2009, 02:24:36 am
I'd say throwing the pouches, instead of entire boxes. less painful
Title: Re: Pocky War!! 2010
Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on November 30, 2009, 11:51:40 pm
On that note, perhaps we can toss/give out the individual giant sticks that we won't use.

Also I discovered an actual Choco-strawberry reverse Pocky, mentioned by the mighty Tom. Though it shut down in 2006 apparently, it will be the blueprint for the Peace Pocky sword.

I don't know the character or the series, but I will.

Also if we can get a daughter-son thing going, the strawberry son should be named Ichigo, and the daughter of chocolate should be named Coco.

Title: Re: Pocky War!! 2010
Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on December 03, 2009, 01:49:39 am
Whatever works. A son is born for the Strawberry village!

I have made some super-light swords that only the two hokage will use.
The PVC longswords will be used by the ninja warriors.

I brought the giant sword to combat for the first time. it performs clumsy and attacking with fast shots makes it whip and therefore wouldn't count in a battle. So instead we may have two keyblades made in spring, or we will duel with lightning fast sword and shield.

Title: Re: Pocky War!! 2010
Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on December 07, 2009, 10:23:45 pm
Alright then, there's always room for possibilities.

The only tricky part I'm seeing is people taking their shots and knowing if they're dead or not. Also to decide if we're sending in one ninja at a time up to three, or sending in squads of 4 ninjas at a time to look like an army. Squad battles may get confusing as to who got killed by what and if we can round up so many people, though it looks like a full-on war. One-on-one duels don't look so war-like but would still be epic and have a cleaner view of who won. As for the Hokage duel, regardless of who wins or loses, after three matches the battle is stopped by the children and the skit wraps up.

So there will be some who are trying to do two skits one after another?

In epic form with sticks that won't break and warriors dressed in blazing colors of their flavor. The combat will be live, even though it's really a game of one or two hit stick tag. Those that came to MEWcon may have seen a taste of it.

I will make swords of noodle and pipe and tape and sweat on my brow. Coated in pink, coated in brown, they will bathe in the spotlights and the hundreds of pockymaniacs.
So whatcha' gonna do, when the largest chocolate swords in japanese snacking and cosplay entertainment run wild on you? Pocky ninja mania is alive, brother!

Dark Link with a mask over his face, a brown sash belt, and no shield equals ninja to me.

Also epic news to report! The key raw material to make the pocky swords has hit Target stores. The pool noodle to pad the sticks is available. Also brown and strawberry stockings have appeared in Dollar Tree. I'll be grabbing many of these and forging the swords. The average length of the shortswords for the underlings will be between 24 and 36 inches. (2-3 feet) While the longswords for the Chocokage and Strawberrykage will fall around 40 inches. (3' 4")

Later I will scope out pink and brown material to make belts and masks out of, and test-fire the giant pocky flavors.

If I remember I was going to have the two Kage use giant swords to fight, which would have stood 6 feet tall. And I still can!
I only need to make two flatblades, one of Cloud's buster sword, and one of Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga.
Epic swords!!

The prop I had for Tetsusaiga before pased its cosplay test but failed its battle test. Too whippy, and was hard to control with all the weight anyway. So using a different method these two will be lighter.

But which sword would the Strawberry Kage choose?

Another thing that comes to mind. I may have two skits on my hands. If I can get my crew of 6 for my Inuyasha skit and practice with them, then I will still enter my Pocky War, but I'll have to ask my rival the Strawberry Kage to enter the skit under her name.

Otherwise we can just to it as a random side event, like at Pioneer Courthouse Square as a boffer demo. This way anyone from the con can join as a ninja and take part in the epic battle. Plus it won't be a skit that needs to squeeze into a 5 minute window.

Just some thoughts to consider.

All things considered, this does look like an epic skit to have, but even more if more people could join on the spot and contribute to it as an event rather than a short 5 minute skit.

I still like the story plot, and I am willing to continue working with it if the rest of the crew is.

Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on April 29, 2010, 05:53:13 pm
Weighing the Pocky War and Inuyasha skits, I have to say that this one will not work as a skit this year.

I'm hoping to set it up as a boffer panel instead, where people can simply come in, grab a headband and sword, and play. I was hoping to hold it at a park or at Pioneer Courthouse Square, but I suspect that Portland might not react kindly to it.

The skit is down as far as competing goes, but if anyone wanted to do the story as part of the panel then the spots are still open.

Which brings me to ask the Mods to move this topic to where they see fit, and ask if they would approve of this being a panel. I also want to set up a boffer sword creation station panel before this so it can flow right from one to the other.
