Techniques; Clips/Pics With Descriptions

There are many techs for us to choose from, but the descriptions might leave us confusing one with another. For example, Energy Blast (The most basic ki attack. It can be in either beam or blast form) vs Power Blast (A basic energy blast only much stronger). Not much of a difference in description, but they seem to be two separate techniques. That of course, is only a minor example. I think it would help if there were a pic or a video clip of each technique so we would have a better idea of what we want to spend our hard earned SP on. It would also help us RP those techniques more effectively if we had a visual aid. Just throwing another idea out there...

If you have a visual aid it leaves less chance for someone to use their imagination, yes?

I agree to a point. It could help, or hurt. For those lacking imagination, a visual aid could help them RP better. For those who have an imagination, the aid would be unnecessary. Not to say that it would be unnecessary for everyone. It would help more than hurt, but yes it can hurt.

While you are right in that many of the attacks can be confusing, there is also the problem that most of the attacks that ARE confusing are the ones that have been invented by the players or Alex, and were never seen in the show, such as Demolition Bomb or Tsuihidan. For these, one couldn't produce a video.

Also, as Pan said, a lot of the more confusing attacks allow for more creativity. Different characters, often based on their personality, will perform an attack differently than would another. For instance, a chaotic evil character might choose to be more aggressive in their technique than a good-hearted one.

The only problem I see is if someone wants to customize the appearance a little bit. With regards to color and the appearance like flaming sparks around the beam/orb, etc., But eh... I thought we used to have links to what they looked like.

I usually check the DB wiki for pics of the attack if it's canon.

As Frieza said, not all of the attacks are canon. So why not just have a pic of the canon techs next to it's name. From there, we can decide where to take it. Think of it as a little push for RP'ing our attacks. A starting point.

Having a picture would be too cluttered. A link would do just fine. Utterly visual peeps.

90% of people are at least in part visual learners. Visual aids are quite helpful in that respect, no?

EDIT: Sorry, meant 60%.

Poses some difficulty when you're on a text-based RPing game...

That is true Pan. However, a visual aid for the techs would likely add to the quality of the RP's. A simple image/link per tech is all that we would need.

Well, I'm fine with the idea. You just have to sell Alex on the idea :)

That could be tough, especially since the new patch is already out. I'm hoping he'll swing on by and see what's going in here.

There will not be pictures for techniques because a lot of them are made up but I do agree some need better descriptions. They are vague purposely but maybe some are TOO vague. If someone would like to volunteer their services to help elaborate on some of them AIM me.
