ARGH STOP WAKING ME FROM THE DEADDDDD
Please read carefully.
I know it's a lot but I'm trying to prevent confusion here...
I'll be honest: I just put that rule to prevent boss battles which were like... say the Four Fiends in that FF... whose title I have currently forgotten. >_> I hope you'll all understand that it's
unfair if, say, one competitor does a six-eyed blob while the other does a series of six battles against six of the most powerful elemental lords in the land. Each has an equal number of enemies, but each enemy is of a different degree. Now this 'degree' is really hard to explain, so I'm going to need your help by you using some common sense.
I didn't mean for this to be this complex.
If you really think you're pushing the rules with your final idea (I say final, not just speculation), please PM me about it. I won't spill your idea to anyone else.
@Asshole: Transforming enemies are fine and I'd count them as forms. I felt that they were a common thing so I neglected to mention. My bad. D: Ill put up a list of things included as forms when I get around to it... eventually......
@Sal: It should be fine if you only get to fight one.
This also answers Kirby's third question (hopefully) that if you don't get to fight both, they are not different forms and that sort of a system would probably count more as making three parallel games in essence. o_O
@Val: I'd feel bad if I made an exception for you because I made Aqua ditch her ABS idea.
I am seriously thinking about running an ABS one later though.
@Kirby:
1) I told Aqua that no, they don't. So yeah having a million summons should be fine. Unless they're the sort that have HP and you have to kill them (which is essentially another boss). Something like that would count as being another boss/enemy in battle (see second-last paragraph).
2) I think that's a great idea and should be fine... in this case it would be ridiculous to ask you to count the total bacteria and penalise you for having 'too many forms' (that's not a rule btw... it'll just affect judging if we felt that you had too many). UNLESS however the boss ends up splitting into eight superhard things (in which case that would feel like too many). O_O
3) See my reply to Sal, and also:
Generally forms include mid (e.g. alternating between two beings or transforming to a second being after a period of time, etc.) and after-battle (e.g. argh, but you haven't seen the REAL me yet [repeat this 1000 times until he finally shows his REAL form and he dies a REAL death]) transformations.If you really want to boil this all down, I wanted there just to be
one boss (Sephiroth and his million masamunes, whetever you want), rather than a series of awesome battles between the greatest in the land (that would often appear in sidequests of most games except for Pokemon of which it is actually the final boss). EVEN IF YOU JUST GIVE THEM THE SAME NAME (well, not really... I'll get the judges to look at the graphics and character design and see if you're cheating around this rule if they don't align o_O). Whatever it takes to make that
one boss character work... fine with me (again, just ask if you're unsure - and plus I feel special when you send me PMs).
Minions/companions/guards/friends/wives are fine - when I said yes to Aqua's question about whether more than one
enemy was allowed per battle, I think this is what I meant. Now that I read back I don't really understand myself there to be honest, but I am quite sure that I meant
if this was to happen, one shouldn't be allowed to have multiple battles (just the one with the many enemies).
Sorry if I missed anyone, I think I'm losing my memory...
If you can surpass these restrictions (there is, in essence, only one in all the crap I just typed: that you can't have an unfair amount of bosses) and still make a killer battler, then you are the one worthy of winning. Seriously.

Oh and for latecomers too. xD
Is that okay? I really hope I'm not restricting you too much.
