Not sure if you're familiar with this guy, but his youtube channel is pretty great and he did a deep dive into this.

Actual holly, jolly votes!

1. Sweetums, Limelight. Local man sucker for anything Muppet, and has been said that Sweetums is my Muppet spirit animal.

2. Scorpion, RockyRaccoon. Truly the greatest of the crazy 90's fighting games. Or at least the campiest. Hanzo's an awesome idea.

3. Celestial Archer, Stormcrawler. Agree, we needed the whole Great 10.

HM. Skruge, Destructoboy. You know why.

HM. Nicol Bolas, Shadesmar. For a time, I tried to maintain a Heroclix, Battletech, and Magic hobby. I was dumb. But I always loved this dragon.

HM. Mariah, Rurouni. I want to hate you for this, but I can't.

INDESTRUCTIBLE
EQUIP: ANY
UNEQUIP: DROP

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound: Improved Movement: Ignores Blocking
The Red-Nosed Reindeer: Improved Targeting: Hindering
bundle of toys was flung on his back,: Equipped characters may carry up to two pieces of terrain.

Design Notes:

WoV really, really should have included a Horse as a vehicle along with the cycles. And included all of them as equipment in a 5th slot so as to not take away from characters. But I digress. For my last dial of '23, please enjoy this equippable equine-like escalade.

I’ll definitely have to check that video out. I’m a big fan of the author as well, Fujimoto is honestly one of the best writers out there in my opinion and he really shows his talent in all of his works. Very very good stuff! But yeah, a new movie was just announced and I’m super super excited for it! Hoping y’all will give this fantastic series a chance!

Significant Appearance: Elden Ring (2022)

Design Notes: All hail the one true Elden Lord. Long may it reign.

Mimic Tear is the real MVP of many people's run, myself included (although I'm trying to make myself play without it during my current run, haha). When first encountered as a boss, it takes on your equipment and abilities to copy you in battle. When defeated, you are then able to summon it to fight alongside you as a duplicate of yourself. Just having an extra copy of yourself in boss fights can really make the difference between success or failure in a run. It can be as op as you make it, so I tried to...mimic (eh? eh?) its versatility as much as possible, while still making it clear this is just an imitation of the character it's copied.

The votes I am counting,
As entries amass...
But ROUND 3 soon closes,
SO EVERYONE HAUL BUTT!

Rob, we all know that amass doesn't rhyme with "sorry." You didn't have any of us in a state of anticipation for even a moment.

Round 2 Votes:

RockyRaccoon - Scorpion
He might be perfect. That's a pretty balanced way to represent his one-on-one finisher in a team setting, as well as a midrange into close combo.

Buckwheat - Kanjar Ro
Every time we get a DC set, he gets brought up, and, with no prior knowledge of him, I can see why from your dial. He's a solid support dial, he's a good team base, he's quite fun.

StormCrawler - Celestial Archer
Fairly low damage somewhat balances out his nutcase ability to target anyone, and making you choose between an attack power or the infinite range also helps.

Honorable Mention: Hesster56 - Freya
A very nice execution of a good character choice, but at her point cost, I think she needs either more of her special movement, or another option to get into the fight.

I just rewatched The Green Knight as part of this year's Christmas movie line-up and enjoyed it even more the second time through. This watch, I noticed the theme of 'unwanted gift-exchange' (Arthur's sword for the greatness it requires, Morgana's belt of protection for the honor of fair play, The Lord's trading of winnings with Gawain), and thought I'd bring some of it to the board. Merry Christmas, folks!

You Are Already Dead: When Ken deals damage to an opposing character by an attack, after actions resolve deal them 1 unavoidable damage, then, if they were not KO'd by this, heal them 1 click.

Hokuto Shin Ken Style: Combat Reflexes. Precision Strike with Close Attacks.

Hundred Crack Fist: Charge, Flurry. // When Ken uses Flurry without using Charge, he may make 3 attacks instead of 2.

The Man With Seven Scars: STOP. Ken cannot be healed past this click. // Toughness, Super Senses.

DESIGN NOTES: So, I had an idea before, but last minute, I thought of something I want more for HeroClix Christmas than a Konami Game dial. I want some more martial artist type clix, and FotNS soothes that itch. Plus, we get too many martial artists with the usual sets of powers, but lacking some personal touches or much variety. Hopefully, Kenshiro here will suit that.
