h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Ma Chao continues his rampage. The generic evil villans are no match for him, and so decide, as all good villans do, to run like hell.*
[Trance Ma Chao] Isn't there anyone who can stop me!?
*In obedience of Sod's Law, Vortex steps backwards, and flattens Ma Chao.*
[Ma Chao] Ow.

~as hes still nowhere near limit break Eric continues to stab at vortexs' feet with his sword and making no percivable impact~

[Sparky] Eric move yourself away from Vortex!

casts [Demi] on Vortex

[Vortex WEAPON, being unharmed, is unharmed by Demi. It did, however, sustain some hurt from Trine.]

[Ribald] Dammit, not again!!

*Ma Chao staggers to his feet, and stumbles across an elixer.*
[Ma Chao] ...yay...
*Downs the elixer, and recovers all his HP and MP.*
[Ma Chao] Alright! Bahamut! Mega-Flare on Vortex!!
*Bahamut circles around, and prepares to strike...*

[Sparky] Lets try this....

[Firaga]

~Eric still trying to fing a weak link in vortexs armour~

[Sparky] Come on DIE damn you! [Trine]

[Vortex Weapon is hit by the magic attacks, but it doesn't seem to notice. Actually, it's damaged quite a bit, but it isn't going to show it!]

[[4]]

[Eric]Damn it! I'll just have to think up a new approach!

*Bahamut rears up, energy crackling within his mouth.*
[Bahamut] [[MEGA FLARE!!!]]
*The blast rockets at Vortex WEAPON...*

[... which is knocked back half a mile. Of course, for a WEAPON, this isn't much, but it slams into the ground with the force of:]

[[Quake]]

[Vortex WEAPON stops flying, but it gets up, and is still capable of fighting. Better hurry.]

[How do you use limit breaks?

[Sparky] [Picking himself up off of the floor] More Soldiers [Demi] not any more and Vortex, take this [Trine]+[Flamethrower]

Limit Breaks are uber-powerful moves, typically attacks. There's this little bar at the bottom of the screen, see, called the Limit meter, right next to where it shows your HP, MP, and name, or in some cases under it, and it fills up as you take damage. When it's filled up all the way, you can use Limit Brakes, and when you do, it empties again.

Some Characters, like mine, have the Trance ability instead. When the "Limit Bar" fills, the character can go into a "Trance", which allows them to use more powerful attacks. In Ma Chao's case, he can use a wide selection of powerful, Dragon-related attacks.

PS: Finally beat Dark Valefor on FFX, and got Anima and Magus Sisters. Welcome to painsville, population; Anima!!!

Right. I'd like to join you guys, but I'd need to find out a bit more specifics on limit breaks, my own abilities, etc. I'm going to go through the B-Log for a while...

[Alexander] Listen, I'll make this nice and simple for you...
[Alexander+KoTR] GET ON WITH IT!!!!

[Ma Chao] Alright alright... Bahamut! Come around and blast that oversized Manga toy!

[Vortex WEAPON pauses in its countdown long enough to whack at Ma Chao with one of its wings.]

[Ma Chao] Waaaaaaaah!!!!!
*Goes flying off into the distance.*
