User talk:Mr.Kraken

Hi Mr.Kraken -- we are excited to have SNK Wiki as part of the Wikia community!

Starting a new wiki can be overwhelming, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!


 * Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
 * We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
 * If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ

If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form. Also, you can visit our live #wikia chat channel any time. A lot of the veteran "Wikians" hang out here so its a good place if come if you want to get some advice or simply make friends.

Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!

Best wishes, Catherine Munro

Greetings!
I'm PanSola, a helper on Wikia Gaming stuff. I want to cheer you on for having started a new gaming-related wiki, and see if there is anything I can help a fellow Wikian with. I have been an admin on the GuildWiki for quite a while, and have hung around a number of different wikis. So if you need help with any thing, don't hesitate to ask!

There is a Wikia gaming IRC channel, #wikia-gaming, where you can hop on, ask for help from users of other gaming wikis, or offer your own experiences. You can access it from http://irc.wikia.com/gaming. Different people may be on sporadically, but I'm organizing weekly chats at a fixed time so we can get the most number of people online at the same time to ask/answer questions, or just to hang out. The admins of some of Wikia's biggest gaming wikis (WoW, Halo) often attend them. You can find the time for the next chat by following this link.

If you happen to be technologically-adventurous, I can also help you with handy tools that can enrich the formatting and organization of the wiki such as templates, parser functions, and various MediaWiki extensions.

Again, if you have any question for anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me! -PanSola 09:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Anyways, not sure if you are interested, but it is possible to further customize the look of the site by some CSS editing. A fairly detailed guide can be found here. Keep up the good work!!! -PanSola 11:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hiya, I just tweaked your MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar a little bit. Feel free to change things around!  A detailed guide on the formatting can be found here. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 18:47, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

article attribution
Heya, just to bring to your attention, when articles here make use of text from Wikipedia, we need to give credit to them (usually can be done with the wikipedia template). I've added attribution for a few articles, but I need to also go help other wikis so I can't check all articles here. Can you help with giving credit where credit is due? Also similarly, if you ever notice other websites making use of text taken from this wiki, make sure to ask them to properly attribute this wiki (or if you feel uncomfortable confronting ppl of other websites, you can let me or the Wikia Community Team know about it)! -User:PanSola(talk/history) 19:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Good job so far~!
Yay for reaching your 100th article! Keep up the good work, and let me know if you need any help! -User:PanSola(talk/history) 22:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, are there any members on this site? Could you tell me their names?--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 01:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Check it out!
Hey, Mr.Kraken, check out this image I uploaded! --M-A-S-T-A K-illa 10:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Haha! SNK guys are really perverts! She is touching her breasts! Mary you nasty girl! XD -- Mr.Kraken 16:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Meet a new someone.
Mr. Kraken, I'd like you to meet a new someone. His name is Tedius Zanarukando. I met him since I saw his edit on the Yuri Sakazaki page. Be glad to give him a warm welcome to this wiki.--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 21:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure! Will do! Mr.Kraken 00:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Why am I not an administrator?
Well, If I'm on the community page, then why am I not an administrator?--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 20:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Do you want to be an admin? I can't just give you the admin status, you know? So how about contributing more to the wiki? I need proof that your are really gonna work on this wiki... -- Mr.Kraken 20:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes. And why am I also on the Community team?

The 'Community' team has all users that are participating in this wiki, not only sysops (administrators).

OK.--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 20:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Look!
Tell me what you think of these images I uploaded. --M-A-S-T-A K-illa 20:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow, Alice is looking pretty cute. Where did you get those images? -- Mr.Kraken 21:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

At the Garou Densetsu Special (pachinko) site. [] --M-A-S-T-A K-illa 22:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Instructions
How do I block someone?--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 01:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Huh? Why do you want to block someone? Who do you want to block? -- Mr.Kraken 10:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Shinoda1472. My old account. And I need you to give me instructions on how to block someone.--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 10:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, you can't. Tell me what he did. I was about to block him as well. -- Mr.Kraken 10:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

He told another lie about my girlfriend Alice Bogard!--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 19:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Man, that's not critical! This is not a forum, if someone's gotta be blocked, he(she) is gonna be blocked to the whole site. -- Mr.Kraken 02:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Makai sprites?
Where do all these Makai sprites come from?--M A S T A K Illa 19:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

They are from SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos. -- Mr.Kraken 20:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

In where stage? Oh, and by the way. Since you uploaded the picture, tell me what you think of this picture and what she is doing in this picture. --M A S T A K Illa 20:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

When the secret boss, Red Arremer defeats you with a super, he transforms your character into monsters (he uses the Makai Spell) and when another secret boss, Athena defeats you with a super, she transforms your character into animals (she uses the Heaven Spell... I don't have those sprites and can't find them anywhere!). About the pic, she looks pretty cute and I think she is jumping to show us her breasts can bounce! XD -- Mr.Kraken 21:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

What about this? --M A S T A K Illa 21:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, she is playing basketball, but look at her skirt! You can almost see her as... huh, something else! But these are the same, ain't they? -- Mr.Kraken 21:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

What about those? --M A S T A K Illa 22:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Hotness! -- Mr.Kraken 22:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Tell me the description of them.--M A S T A K Illa 23:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

How to create an archive.
Umm... How do I create an archive? I need to create an Alice Bogard archive of pictures with descriptions. --M A S T A K Illa 20:49, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

You can create a gallery.

Thanks.--M A S T A K Illa 21:12, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

A Greetings from Samurai Shodown community
Hello, I am Black Shroud, I am one of the central persons in online Samurai Shodown community, I also have a listing from players over the world. I am fan of this franchise for more than 4 years, and over this time I acquired alot of related stuff and info (including some rare stuff as well). Also I am one of biggest experts on storyline of series, and to that end I translated from Japanese as well (and collected links to japanese Samurai Shodown resources). I didnt liked what they did with Samurai Shodown sections in main wikipedia (constantly deleting and shortening info, and for some moment even deleting characters sections, and they had a vote about how the serie is unpopular and doesnt deserves much space on wikipedia). Because of that I simply started to work on my own series of guides (storyline also), and I contacted other knowledgeable people, including asians. Well I see in your wikia things go good so far (and sake neko does good job), so I thought I can double my info here as well, but before that I had several questions, so for starters I will ask your opinion about this:

Few facts about SNK’s big problem: And, because apparently japanese language is hard, they add some “easier to read japanese words equivalents” with complete and unrecoverable loss of initial japanese meaning and common sense at all. .. and also some more fatal errors: Ukyo’s style is “Shin Musou Ittou Ryuu” (Divine/True, Dream/Unparalelled, Single Sword Style). Translator reads “Shin” kanji as “Jin”, and “Ittou” (single sword) he breaks in “ichi” (one) and “tou” (blade), making it “Jin Musou Ichi Tou Ryuu”. Then he puts it apparently in hiragana and sends to other translator. That one reads it as “jinmusouichitouryuu” and makes it like “Jinmu Soichi Tou Ryuu” (Sword Style of Soichi Jinmu) and then they put this crap in his and Yumeji’s biography on official site. in place of Official USA meaning, turned in crap by SNK translators I hear “but hey it is official you can look it on official SNK site of that game, and our english-speaking readers wont accept and understand any other version except that official SNK version”. And it looks like some bureaucracy indeed. For example if some term was introduced in some specific game, in thread of that game there can be a note “It was substituted by this and this in non-japanese releases, with loss of original sense”, and throughout the text we could use original term or its CORRECT translation on english. Then initial meaning and the very spirit of respective game will be preserved. So please tell me your thoughts.
 * SNK creates some pretty good storylines and ingame info and text
 * It releases this good original game version in Japan (of course)
 * Then need of releasing game in other regions, english-speaking ones, arises
 * SNK uses some translators who apparently are very bad on english, I think SNK uses own resources of japanese workers because of lots of EngRish in SNK games (japanese have difficulties as of where to use R or L in english words). They also translate biographies, movelists and all stuff related to game.
 * They release english language version of game, with all text full of grammar errors, engRish, various crap from which people laugh out loud....
 * We then start the game and have “Haohmal”, “Rimnerel”, “Congratlions”, “Victoly!!”
 * When I suggest to use meaning of term that will be true to intentions of original SNK authors
 * Maybe I am a purist of sorts but I awill be always for doing justice to SNK authors, rather than to their distorters-translators. I hope that this problem can be solved somehow in SNK wikia.

If you want, you can contact me via ICQ 337059977 or MSN maneev (at) voliacable (dot) com

A link
I wanted you to read some of my points there User talk:Black Shroud, so I post in your talk page as well, just in case my post on my talk page wasnt checked Black Shroud 09:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey.
Hey, Mr. Kraken. Check out this image I uploaded! --M A S T A K Illa 15:53, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Very nice, but who am I talking to? -- Mr.Kraken 22:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Me. --M A S T A K Illa 15:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Yo
This article already exists under a slightly different spelling. I think the "morosumi" needs to be deleted. Sake neko 22:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Deleted it. -- Mr.Kraken 22:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Found another. Temjin vs Temjim. I don't know which one it is but it's still the same guy. Sake neko 23:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Deleted. -- Mr.Kraken 23:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Me. --M A S T A K Illa 15:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm teaming up with Sake neko
Since Sake neko puts down information, I'll be putting up pictures.--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 17:17, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Why did I get blocked?
I have a question. Why did I get blocked? --M-A-S-T-A K-illa 20:38, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not just you. I was as well. Well, I think it's just a dumb system error but it never hurts to ask. Sake neko 20:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like it was a system error. I didn't block you guys. Are you still getting the message? -- Mr.Kraken 20:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * How about it? Still blocked? -- Mr.Kraken 20:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope. Otherwise we couldn't post an edit. :) Sake neko 21:23, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Look!
Hey. Tell me what you think of those pictures I uploaded, and what is Blue Mary doing in those images.---M-A-S-T-A K-illa 18:35, 16 July 2008 (UTC)




 * They are cool, but... aaaaw, do I really have to describe them? -- Mr.Kraken 23:34, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

No. I'm just kidding!--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 01:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Delete request
This page is just the much talked about Xbox live arcade adaption of Samurai Shodown II. Should've figured but ah well. Guess I was too hopeful for another SS game. Sake neko 06:54, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Special Force?
Something about this old article kinda caught my eye. Apparently there are (were?) plans for online versions of King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown. They were going to be developed by this Korean company, Dragon Fly, or Special Force. They apparently did it for Metal Slug but I'm lost as to how far it went with that (though I did find their site). Anyways, I don't really know how legit these games are since I can't read Korean or Chinese that well. Have you heard any news about any of them? They're interesting ideas either way. Sake neko 03:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it is interesting. But, to tell you the truth, I have never heard about this project... sorry, but cannot help you with that. -- Mr.Kraken 18:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Something new I uploaded.
Check out something I uploaded. See? That's Yuri's KOF 2001 winpose. And if you look closely.... Her bottomlip is kinda big, don't you think?--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 01:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hee-hee... yes it is. Funny! :D -- Mr.Kraken 11:20, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Could this Ip be banned?
Their edits consist only of completely erasing either the powers or personality section in character pages entirely and create duplicate sections already there. They have already been warned once and are still doing it.Kyosei 18:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I blocked him for 1 year. - Mr.Kraken 10:19, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * User ArmorKing51 was seen updating articles with offtopic things Black Shroud 20:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ArmorKing51, Shuyin54 and Kyo51 are all essentially the same person using different handles but adding the same type of junk to every character page. He has already been previously warned numerous times and hasn't stopped yet. I think it's definitely time to block him. kyosei 02:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Delete page request
Bob Bitch and possibly banning the IP who created it but I'll leave that up to your discretion. Kyosei 06:35, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for taking too long, the page has been deleted and all of the IPs have been blocked. -- Mr.Kraken 14:37, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a problem ^^ Everyone needs a break every once and a while. kyosei 18:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Concerning Matrimelee.
I'm the guy who runs the Goketsuji Wiki for the Power Instinct series. Someone put up a link to it here on the Matrimelee article.

Seeing as how you're the boss, I figured I'd ask you if you'd think the articles on the characters from Matrimelee would be of any help to the SNK wiki. It's no big deal either way.

I apologize if I've bothered or imposed on you any. Just wondered if there was anything that could be done about `em. - Goketsuji Fan 05:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The articles would definetly be of great help, especially from fans of the series. Although, it would be fine to just add info about the Matrimelee game, since it is the only one SNK-concerned. Thank you for asking. -- Mr.Kraken 21:47, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I figured as much from the start, so it's no big deal. Kind of wondering what I'll do for infobox pictures, since me and my friend don't quite have all the Matrimelee artwork... anyways, thanks for taking the time to answer. :) - Goketsuji Fan 00:32, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Days of Memories stories
I was kinda wondering of were to put these stories at. They're usually typically dating sim stories but some of them have some fun easter eggs in there (like Yuri's mom not dying and Shiki having another baby). Maybe a separate article or something? It'd be weird to see it in a character's story section. Sake neko 20:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Welcome back! Good to see you. :)


 * Since you're back, I feel like raising this inquiry again. I'm kinda iffy about putting these stories on the character's actual pages, but I feel like the prominent main and sub characters in these silly dating sims needs at least a separate sub-page. Not really a "new-new" page but a sub-page like the galleries are right now. I'm more comfortable doing it like this because then we can bombard the subpage with Days of Memories pictures there and not on the character's canon page. Plus, y'know, they're just alternate versions of the characters that don't really tie into the actual series they come from. I don't really want people to confuse the two.


 * This kinda goes along with your idea to make an "other media" page for characters. But, like with Days of Memories, I would only really push for the page if a particular character is dramatically different than the original series in some way (like Terry's girlfriends and whatever the live action KOF film bastardizes). I think it'd be probably better to fit all of these into one page so we don't have so many different sub-pages or a really long character article with too much "other universe" info. So maybe we can work together on this? I don't know, what do you think? Sake neko 21:11, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I like the idea of cramming everything into one page. I was thinking of formatting it into something like this:
 * Games (spin-offs like KOF:Kyo, SS RPG, Awakening from Another Life, Nakoruru ADV, Days of Memories can be put in here in their respective subsections)
 * Drama CDs (including the ones for the series and whatever else, like the Neo Geo DJ Station stories)
 * Anime (self-explanatory)
 * Comics (for manhwa, manga, and everything else that was officially syndicated as a series, not fan stuff like doujin or hentai or whatever)
 * Life-Action (for you know what)
 * I was thinking of calling it "(character name)/Other Media". That way we can include all of these at once and not feel bad about having to leave anything out. We can just add the other sections on a need-to-know basis. Like, if they aren't in any drama CDs or the live-action film, then we don't have to include it. Or if someone knows the manhwa stories but we don't necessarily know them, they can add more info into the comics section. Again, I'd want to do it for the characters who actually have a role or different story in the respective media. I don't really want to do it they're just a random background cameo (like Kim in the SS RPG). Sake neko 23:28, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, I already asked Kyosei and he seems to be cool with it. :) I'm pretty sure I don't want to be admin; I think I'd be too harsh on people and would be too quick to ban. Anyways, if you're okay with it, then let's get crakin' on those pages. :3
 * Oh wait, one more thing. What should we categorize these new pages under? Sake neko 23:43, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should just make its own category, like "Character portrayals in Other Media" or something? Making an overall category for all of the subpages would be okay with me too. They're gonna get kinda big if we do everybody. Sake neko 00:01, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, let's get rolling then. :) Sake neko 22:23, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

ALERT!!
'Mr. Kraken, sir. Some account named "TheVillain" did vandalism on the Yuri Sakazaki page! The account put the following false stuff: "She has a big butt, named Butty." Now, who in the world does that sort of stuff anyway? You should block him and put him to justice!'--M-A-S-T-A K-illa 03:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

So they say that the good son always returns...
Hell yeah, I'm alive! Don't know if someone will read this or give a damn about it but I want to apologize to everyone of you who has helped the wiki I created to be what it is today. I can't say that I've been the best admin in the past months, but, I'm here now, so if you guys still want me around, you can count on me. And it's kinda late, but Merry Christmas to all of you!
 * Welcome back! It's all good if real life kept ya from the wiki. Bottom line it should take priority anyways ;) Whether or not you want to stay as admin should be up to you but I won't stop you either way. I only became an admin to keep things nice and tidy after all =3 In the meantime, take your time getting used to wikis again and Happy Holidays! ^^ Kyosei 18:00, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

ThunderBeam707
Hi Mr. Kraken I'm ThunderBeam707, it's really nice to meet you. ^_^ ThunderBeam707 5:22 December 26, 2009 (UTC)

I created my own fan fiction, you're free to look if you want, I'm just so excited to meet you for the very first time!!! :D

Thank You for the advice and interview, I'll do my best! ^^

Re:Ideas

 * New admins - I agree but there's not nearly enough mature or dedicated enough users. There's also the fact that I know Sake neko would never really agree to accepting the nomination.
 * Different pages for one character - I think disambiguation pages should be saved for cases where characters share the same name such as how it is for Yuki and how it should be for Hanzo Hattori (at least two other characters share the name). I think the multi-universe idea is going a bit overboard. For someone like Spiderman I think it's alright because he's had literally dozens of different interpretations of his character which could get confusing. But for SNK characters I don't think it has gotten to that point yet and (bearing a few exceptions) they generally stay the same in the different media they're introduced in.
 * Fan Fiction - Eh, I'm a bit iffy on this part. I think this at best should be on a separate wiki like how it's done for other fandoms like Naruto. I'm fine with how it is done now with the user subpages. However, we could try using the "new" (it's a bit old now) blog function wikia added for any fanwork. Using the blog system allows users to both rate and comment on the blog post. An example of what it looks like can be seen here and it is already conveniently featured on the side menu via the "Recent blog posts" link. Kyosei 08:20, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ideally, an admin should be someone who would be willing to put a lot of their free time into coming to check the site at least once a day, can keep a level head, knows the material and has a good grasp on the workings of wikis. It may not seem like much or may seem too demanding but that's the basic qualifications I think an admin should have. Generally, many of the users here are infrequent. If they are frequent contributor, they do not have a good grasp on how wikis work yet and are easily offended (quick tempers).


 * I saw your template example for Ryo and am still not really sold on the idea. Mostly because when it comes down to it people can just read the same things from the anime/other media page via the summaries provided. Kyosei 20:51, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Soundtrack articles
Sounds cool to me. Could use a little more fleshing out like say a list of the composers, musicians, etc. but other than that the example page looks good. I was actually thinking of making a template for albums/CDs in general to use on the drama CD pages anyways and (once I got off my lazy butt about it) an infobox template for the game pages in general. Kyosei 09:36, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Test
Sorry I haven't logged in for awhile, I wasn't feeling well, But I guess there's no point on on taking the test because it pisses people, I think I'll just stay and make some changes on my own. ThunderBeam707 9:05 December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I haven't made a respond cause I was having a New Years Party, Anyway I wanna wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR, Any who about the test I'm not quite sure and further more some of it doesn't makes much sense and it kinda pisses me off no (although I never took it, I just decided to avoid it). And as for Voltaku I think I'll make his Muay Tai Fighting Style, (which I like to call) Lightning Kickboxing, it's where he mainly uses his electric powers by infusing them with his attacks, and the reason why he's so gentle because he gets it from his ancestor, but he's not cocky in his awaken form, but his emotion will change depends if he's calm or infuriated, his hair changes color to show an emotion, anyway you have a nice holiday. ^^ ThunderBeam707 5:25 January 1, 2010 (UTC)

What's Crackin, Mr.Kraken ^^
Hey! What's up? ThunderBeam707 2:55 January 6, 2010 (UTC) We're truly sorry Mr.Kraken, we'll try and get along. ThunderBeam707 11:19 January 7, 2010 (UTC)

You're not being bossy, you're being reasonable and that's what I like about ya, oh and I did some changes Smoke you're free to look, anyway I'm having a blast. ^^ ThunderBeam707 12:51 January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Smoke
Ok I made some changes again like you said and now the word "Comori" now starts with a "K" and the Haku Yoh Sapphire Crystal - The crystal of Komori - is now with Smoke AKA Asaki Komori, and he has a father (who is now abducted by the mysterious clan) and he has a long lost sister, Smoke's relatives are users of the ancient Komori martial arts (but I will not add this just yet, I wanna keep it more surprising). ; ) ThunderBeam707 3:57 January 7, 2010 (UTC)

And right now he's focused on killing Ash. ThunderBeam707 4:27 January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Well of course he wants to kill Ash after all he used him, and his rivalry with Kyo will have to wait, and your question, I have to say main continuity, and sense Iori's and Chizuru powers were stolen I thought that there would another Sacred Treasure (which is Smoke), I'm just sayin thought. : / TunderBeam707 7:34 January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! ^^ ThunderBeam707 8:13 January 9, 2010

Hey I got your message and yeah SFIII and MOTW are so badass and what you put about that 300 spin-off joke was hilarious, I wonder if there's gonna be a Neo Geo Battle Coliseum 2..I wonder. 5:42 ThunderBeam707 January 10. 2010 (UTC)

Oh Yeah and Mr.Kraken I need some tips and advice about my character Chain, I wanna know about him being infected by the Orochi Blood as an infant, do you have any suggestions? 5:45 ThunderBeam707 January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hm...I see so what If I put that his mother died from birth after being infected by the Orochi Blood, Will that work? 11:59 ThunderBeam707 January 10, 2010 (UTC)

How am I suppose to do and add that to his story I'm quite curious. 7:58 ThunderBeam707 January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Chain
Oh wait I got it, how about I add that his mother realized she was pregnant with Chain and asks for the Orochi Blood to protect herself and her son because she lives in a dangerous neighborhood and it's full of violent neighbors, and she uses the Orochi blood to kill all the dangerous neighbors, while she was still pregnant with him, when she give birth to Chain, she was dying before she died she asked a Judo master to adopt him, am I doing good so far? 2:07 ThunderBeam707 January 10, 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't expecting that but the silver-haired man was Yashiro?!?!

Can there at least be something about his mother getting the Orochi blood, instead of the Saito and Chain rivalry story?

and what do Chain's rivalry with Daimon have to do with this, just a simple question that's all.

But I'll get with the program and accept this for now. 7:16 ThunderBeam707 January 10, 2009 (UTC)

No No No, This is good, I admit it was a cool story but Chain was never a criminal or got arrested but I like how you put the story, It's very intresting and I guess you're right about his mother so I'll put her out of this, and I will be working on it (It's all thanks to you ^^) 11:30 ThunderBeam707 January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Aw come on you deserve some credit. ^^ 6:10 ThunderBeam707 January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Mr.Kraken, can you type the dialouge about how Chain killed Saito, Asuka, his master and everyone else, I'd love to see it. ^^ 2:41 ThunderBeam707 January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hey..uh did you even get my message. 4:01 ThunderBeam707 January 14, 2010 (UTC)

That was fricking awesome, I love it, how he faced his master and his friend Saito, Now all I need is more information about his rivalry with Daimon, Don't forget I designed Chain to be Daimon's new rival, anyway thanx for the dialouge it was badass. ^^ 11:26 ThunderBeam707 January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Mr.Kraken I made some dialogue on my own but it involves KOF Maximum Impact, It's a cut scene between Smoke and Rock take a look here:

SMOKE: REPPUKEN!!!

ROCK: That move... I seen that move before!!!

SMOKE:???

ROCK: Who did you learn it from?!?!? TELL ME!!!!

SMOKE: You know I hate it when people approach me the wrong way, Looks like I'm gonna have to teach you some manners kid!

Well there you have it I know it's a bit short, But what do you think? 9:38 ThunderBeam707 January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Sure. But only Smoke, and I still have plans for my creations being in the main canon that includes Smoke don't wanna get you confused. 10:51 ThunderBeam707 January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Smoke Dialogue
I have created another cut scene between Smoke and Rock, This is where Smoke defeats him take another look here:

SMOKE: Geez, Kid what's your problem?

ROCK: Didn't you learn those moves from him?

SMOKE: Who's "him"?

ROCK: You know, I thought you were taught those moves from that man.

SMOKE: Oh I know who you're talking about, No I haven't, actually I've learned it on my own.

ROCK:???

SMOKE: Ya see I saw him in tournaments along time ago and I just liked his fighting style. I would ask him to train me but he looks like the guy who doesn't wanna waste his time with anyone, and when I grew up I just memorized his fighting style and I began to pick it up from scratch that's all and plus I never got a chance to meet him person but you get the idea.

ROCK: Oh, Sorry about the whole misunderstanding.

SMOKE: Eh.

Smoke helps Rock up from the ground and waves as he leaves.

SMOKE: Well, See ya.

ROCK: Wait, you're just gonna leave?

SMOKE: I'm beat, I really need to rest, I suggest you do the same till our next battle that is, later.

ROCK: ......Yeah, later.

Well that's about it for now tell me what you think if you get this message. 5:45 ThunderBeam707 January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Glad ya like it, but I'm still working on Chain's and Voltaku's story. 11:19 ThunderBeam707 January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Thunderbeam
I think it's mostly because he feels like I personally pick on him and everything he does. Though if he'd actually look at my edits, I'm like that with everyone so I'm not really treating him in particular as a "special case". He also probably doesn't like my high standards, as I am a perfectionist, or my candidness. I have, however, always warned him ahead of time that I am a blunt individual. I don't pull my punches for anyone really.

Though if I were to pinpoint the direct cause, it most likely stems from the fact that I don't really find anything redeeming about his original characters and feel he should find fan fiction advice from actual places that focus on fan fiction. It probably bruises his pride as he thinks his characters are perfect and nothing are wrong with them but I've honestly seen a lot of original fan characters go the direction he's leading them. Of course, this leads him to think that he is right and I am wrong. Thus most likely the point of contention.

Honestly, if you were to ask my feelings on Thunder it'd be annoyance at best but that's about it. Hate is a silly thing to feel for someone I have never personally known or met and ridiculous considering it's from across the internet. I'd talk to him about it but he doesn't want to listen, so there's not much I can do. He just wants to ignore me and that's perfectly fine. Kyosei 21:35, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand he wants to have fun however I only made my criticisms serious as he told me he wanted SNK to consider his work. I thus made my critiques accordingly. I probably could've been gentler in telling him not to bother me with his fiction, but he is very persistent. Personally I agree with you and am willing to let bygones be bygones but I'm afraid Thunder feels otherwise. Kyosei 05:26, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re:...Kyosei
I'm tired of him putting me down and his bad criticism about my characters, so I told him off and I said I will ignore him from now on and told not to get in my way anymore, I'm just so pissed off because of him, and if he says one more about me I'll be forced to go to Californa and kick his ass!!!!! 5:47 ThunderBeam707 January 20, 2010 (UTC)

And I would curse him off, but I'm not I'm just gonna ignore just like I said and that's perfectly fine with me too. 5:57 ThunderBeam707 January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with your method and I have to admit it was childish but I did say and I quote "I regret saying this", But honestly there's no relationship between me or Kyosei, I don't like making enemies but if they say something the wrong way, insult, or offend me, that's where I draw the line, ya see I don't start something unless I get pick on, I have been picked all my life but that's in the past now, and as for Kyosei he's kinda serious and take things seriously and Me I like to have fun and live large, but I'll try and get along with him for now. BTW I have a couple of questions so take a look here:

1. Are you gonna block us both if we keep arguing?

2. Can I become an admin?

3. Sake neko's laughing at us and what does this have to do with us?

4. Is Sake neko a boy or a girl? I'm just curious because I saw your comment asking him/her if he's/she's a boy or a girl that's all.

11:35 ThunderBeam707 Janauary 21, 2010 (UTC)

And I'll say this about Kyosei he's smart and skilled, but he's not perfect.

11:39 ThunderBeam707 Janauary 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hey I'm not trying to score with Kyosei's sister, I'm just curious. 4:21 ThunderBeam707 January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re: New images
A new logo was one of the things I was thinking of making before you came back anyways. I'll probably make it look something like SNK's current logo. Custom images for the categories should be a simple and easy thing to do. I'll try to whip up some template images sometime later and see what you think. Kyosei 22:35, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Tired
Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. -_- 9:20 ThunderBeam707 January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hey sorry about that, I was gonna reply your comment, but I was so frickin' tired, so I just went to take a nap, the video was cool and epic, I liked it honestly but I'm not sure who won because Kyo seems to be getting the upper hand. Anyways thanx. ^^ 5:49 ThunderBeam707 January 23, 2010 (UTC)

By the way do have a link that involves Bao? 5:50 ThunderBeam707 January 23, 2010 (UTC)

That's okay, thanks anyway. ^^ 8:42 ThunderBeam707 January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Falcoon
Hey I saw your wish list, and it shows that you want him fired? I'm just curious that's all, but I'm like "what the heck"??? 8:15 ThunderBeam707 January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heres an example of one of my fav. characters being Falcooned. I really think the guy would fare better at making separate game series instead of trying to do justice to existing SNK characters, because I dont recall any of those attempts being successful. I mean, look at Ash's another costume in KOF:MI2 Regulation A, who would want to play a character that looks like that? Black Shroud 11:23, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Again, I never really liked any of his artwork. You can call them unorthodox, but I call them ugly. His original characters don't look like SNK characters, and most of the another outfits of the established characters are just outrageous. He tends to put too much "style" into the characters, but some of them (most of them) are loved because of their simplicity. This is just a personal thought, but I believe he has yaoi tendencies because it reflects so much on his characters. He wanted to create a femme fatale and failed, but he doesn't fail to create "stylish" men. Read "stylish" as gay-looking. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that lifestyle, but KOF characters are not known for looking the way he tries to put them. He could be a pretty good fashion designer, but not a video game producer. -- Mr.Kraken 13:02, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Well you may find his artwork "ugly", but I kinda find it "creepy" because when Black Shroud showed me that picture I'm like "*shudders*", Plus I bet I can draw better than him (no offense Falcoon), and he drew a character that was gay from the start of the game, but the guy who drew the artwork of KOF XI was quite better, but the thing is and in my opinion, I focus more on the game then the artwork. ThunderBeam707 January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * The thing is it's not just the artwork. Falcoon is the art director of the Maximum Impact series, so he is responsible for every new character and alternate outfit that pops up in those games. The Maximum Impact originals do not fit well with the other KOF characters. Makes me suspect that Falcoon wanted to use the already established big names to promote HIS characters, and HIS storylines, and HIS ideas. Everything in the Maximum Impact series goes his way and not the company's way. It doesn't add anything to the higher good of the company and someone else should handle a 3D KOF game. He should go away and Playmore should hire old SNK staff, that would be better for SNK IMO. Mr.Kraken 20:35, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

So KOF MI is less popular because of Falcoon? 2:41 ThunderBeam707 January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * In a way, yes. By creating his characters and adding those another outfits, he made fans of the series turn their heads, like me. The game could've been much better with someone else directing it. But then again, that's just my opinion. Mr.Kraken 20:49, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well that's life for ya I guest. 5:55 ThunderBeam707 January 27, 2010 (UTC)

i don't even like the guy's style, and i can say this is dumb. you're trying to claim all these "facts" based on pure opinion, so everything comes out looking like one big old hateful lie.

none of the kof characters "fit together", and this has always been the entire point of the series. the funny thing is that they still visually fit--the meiras make as much sense as ash makes as much sense as k' makes as much sense as kyo--and that's what's important. the another designs are specifically meant to be crazy and non-default. this idea that falcoon is somehow "forcing" things to begin with is insane because snk (and most game companies) have always been like that, and because there's also always been more to the story. you can't even just "hire old snk staff" because those people either aren't coming back or never left.

never mind that mi, the game you're actually taking issue with, didn't actually fail at all; it got a sequel and a major update to that sequel, and overall sold about as well as any other related snk product. people make fun of the game because... well, they really don't; they just make fun of how broken the first two games are, and dumb things like the english dub and what you're complaining about right here. most people really like regulation a, because it's a good game!

your strange hatred of falcoon (never mind your total homophobia) has absolutely nothing to do with what the man has actually done, and hopefully it never will. the real problem is a lot more horrifying than this nonsense, and it is also something that people will no longer allow themselves to understand.

Savage Reign & World Heroes
Hi Mr.Kraken, how are you? I think that someone must create a series page of Savage Reign and World Heroes and adds theese two pages in the "Game Series" voice in the Main Page! Are you agree? Thanks --Linstella 11:22, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

DFW Mobi
Hey, My name is Astro (well not in real life) the founder of the Deadliest Fiction Wiki as well as the Deadliest Warrior wiki but thats not important. I have decided to create a mobile version for poeple who want to wiki on their mobile phones and whatever. I saw your little news post with our wiki and i thought 'Well since im so nice and pretty happy about this post, im think i might ask the admins if they want me to make them one aswell'. So what do you say? (Id prefer you to leave a message on my talk page at the DFWiki but if you forget or something comes up.. or you cant be stuffed then just do it to this one.. if i have one.. which im not sure) CH33R5 --Astrotorical 05:05, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

SVC Chaos Makai spell monsters
In SNK vs Capcom, do you know what monsters the characters turn into with Red Arremer's Makai Spell? Zakor1138 20:45, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

A modest contribution
Hello Mr.Kraken. I recently made some edits on the wiki and they have been reverted by the user Kyosei. Some were insubstantial but some were considerably intersting from my point of view (specially the last two). If you would be so kind as to consider it I will be grateful as my only intention is to enrich the wiki. Thank you.

Weirando (talk) 19:23, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Welcome back
I haven't been keeping up with SNK lately but something that I was thinking of doing was re-categorizing and re-naming all the images on the wiki but that was like a daunting task and something that would definitely be a long time back burner kind of project. Another one was going through and rewriting personality sections to be more in-depth. Perhaps add game infoboxes to all the game pages and give them more clean ups but overall I've been mostly on auto-pilot when it comes to the wiki. Hard to feel much motivation for it when SNK hasn't done much in terms of fighting games. Kyosei (talk) 15:07, December 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * SNK's ad for jobs to work on their next KOF, given the positions they want to hire for the next KOF game it will most likely be 3D or something similar to the latest Guilty Gear game. I haven't really heard much beyond that though. Feel free to change the featured article and images. I just didn't really change them mostly due to laziness. Kyosei (talk) 19:20, December 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I like the color scheme to be honest. Sake_neko does not like this blue. It's slightly harsh on the eyes if you're going to spend a long time reading on the wiki. It's alright as a slight accent here and there, but as the background it's distracting. It'd be nice if the images choices were are bit more varied. As it is it only showcases two franchises (KOF and Samurai Shodown) as opposed to the multiple ips (KOF, Samurai Shodown, Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury and Last Blade) it had before. Kyosei (talk) 16:45, December 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * The background color should be more neutral kind of like how I had it before. It should be a super pale or really dark tinted color. It doesn't matter too much what color so long as the shade is one of the two I mentioned. Kyosei (talk) 17:36, December 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. If you really want my personal opinion, I don't really like image backgrounds on wikis at all which is why I never implemented one for the wiki in the first place in your absence. I generally prefer them to be plain or a very simple tiled pattern that isn't distracting. I consider myself old-fashioned in that regard and this was originally a wiki you founded yourself. I adopted it mainly so it wouldn't get overrun by vandals. So in the end I leave the decision to your discretion. I apologize in advance if you don't find my commentary in this case particularly helpful. Kyosei (talk) 01:01, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

Request for background
Hi Mr. Kraken. I approved your request, and I'm here to help.

Take a look at this preview and let me know if you want to use the background as it appeears, or if you want me to change anything. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  20:36, December 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think the first image you provided is the best choice, and I think the current light gray background color works well with that image. Here's a new preview using that image along with some page transparency allowing a bit more of the image to be visible on the right and left sides of the content area. Let me know what you think and if you want to see a preview using one of the other images. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  20:26, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Here are previews using the other two images:
 * Second image (version 1) - Because this image is so large, one option is to upload it and use the "no split" option on the theme designer. Along with the transparency, this allows the background to be seen behind the entire content area
 * Second image (version 2) - Normal split background option using the same image as above, in case you don't want the background image to be visible behind the whole page
 * Third image
 * Take as much time as you need to decide. Let me know which version you like best, and I'll be happy to upload it. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  00:43, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * The new background has been uploaded. Like the preview, I made the page slightly transparent, but feel free to adjust the transparency slider however you see fit, to make it more or less transparent or not transparent at all. Keep up the good work! JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  16:49, December 9, 2014 (UTC)
