Salutations. My name is Grey_Raine, and I am starting a UVR Spin-off. For those curious, I have attempted one of these several times in the past, in fact, you can find one of them under my old alias RaineSage09 on this very website, it was called Battle Frontier if your curious.
However, I consider those previous attempts old shames, as they were plagued with poor writing and grammar, as well as lacklustre casts. This time, I'm gonna try and actually finish, so without further ado, let's go over the basics.
Lastly, shoutout to my friend for drawing the cover for this fanfic, he has a Youtube channel that I recommend you check out, the name for it is EmperorXander.
Question 1: What exactly is the "UVR"?
Answer 1: The UVR was a popular tournament vote-fic where characters from various fighting games were pitted against one another, to my knowledge, it spanned from the 90's all the way to the early 2000's. It was majorly successful and spawned many other spin-offs, like the Megamix Tournament and the Battle of the Luminaries, which were created by SSBFreak and Tinyhammer respectively, in addition, both tournaments can also be found on this website.
Question 2: Why are there some franchises that are not from fighting games?
Answer 2: That's what separates most UVR spin-offs from the real deal, they're not limited to just fighting games, however, I still decided to have at least most of my roster be from fighting games to stay true to it's name.
Question 3: What are "Big Guys" and how is voting affected?
Answer 3: Big Guys can be two things: Boss characters or characters who are just really big. For each Big Guy in the ring at a time, one extra fighter will get eliminated at the end of the section. For example, say there are four characters currently in the ring who are classified as Big Guys, so instead of the usual fifteen fighters being eliminated, nineteen of them will be tossed in the end.
Question 4: What exactly is "Fatigue"?
Answer 4: Regardless of a character's strength, fatigue will begin to set in at one point. So for every section a character survives, one automatic "die" vote is added to their score at the beginning of the next section, which further slims their chances of survival.
Question 5: How exactly do eliminations work?
Answer 5: The top 15 highest scoring fighters at the end of the section will get one elimination, regardless of if they actually survive or not. But, if there is a Big Guy in the ring, then the top fighter will get two eliminations as opposed to one. So, going back to the example on Question 3, if there are four Big Guys in the ring, then the top 4 fighters will get 2 eliminations.
Question 6: How do I vote?
Answer 6: Simple, I'll put up a voteform on every chapter after a section which you can fill out and post in your review, or you can PM me it on here or note me it if you like. You must give fifteen "live" votes to the people you want to see survive the section, and fifteen "die" votes for the people you want to see get eliminated.
Warning, if there is an uneven amount, I'll personally even them out myself.
