Lets figure a system to play in the world of One Punch Man.
>Make hero by entering exam
>Fight crime and the occasional monster
>In lieu de leveling up, go up in ranks C,B,A,S
>Have popularity ranking that could influence other heros/people/gifts/advertisements

Any other thoughts?
What kind of character building system would work well?
>>
OPM is literally just a game of Wild Talents where everyone except for one of the players is new to the system.
>>
Well it'd be fun if we could actually fucking play it and not spend time creating a chart just to look at.
>>
The big thing is that there's a PR/expenses maintenance thing alongside your actual battles, and that every battle should be on a timer (that can be increased or decreased) until OPM arrives, defeats the monster, and gets the credit.
>>
>>44145882
I'll look into that. What are good adjustments to make?
>>44145902
I have friends who I could easily convince to do a 1-2 session play though.
>>
>>44145931
I wasn't going to include the OPM in the game because obviously he's ridiculously OP, but I kinda like the idea of some sort of timer...
>>
ONE is gloriously inconsistent in his character design. there's no benefit to creating a system over using an existing one.
>>
>>44145973
What existing one would you suggest?

>>44146512
What on earth is wrong with Murata? His art is god-tier, and even /a/ loves him which is really saying something.

The moments where OPM goes from undetailed bald man to muscle-bound hyper-detailed man are done for the sake of comedy and for establishing when shit's just gotten real. It's actually great, I can't see any issue with doing that.

I'll give you a hint:

You're arguing with a troll.

>>44146542
>>44146617
as a whole I don't hate murata and I read both obviously but this particular part of his work is just obviously wrong and undermines the whole point of the story and that kind of thing is my gripe with him.

>>44146618
some people on /a/ love him. his art isn't bad but it's easy to attribute much of the praise to the popular idea held by people who can't draw that detail = quality.

Saitama probably costs less than 1k points to build considering complete invulnerability is only 400 points.
>>
>>44146133
Mutants and Masterminds might work since it's outright made for Superheros.
The use of established characters from the series as plot devices rather than entities with fixed stats (at least in S class and above) also sounds like good thing to do.
>>
1) use GURPS
2) >>>/a/
>>
>>44145855
You could make him in Mutants and Masterminds really, REALLY easily, though he's sure as shit not be a legal starting character.
Amusingly, his ridiculous instant-kill ability might be better represented not as an Unarmed attack with his maxed-out Strength score but as a nearly unresistable status effect that knocks people unconscious.

His durability is easy; just give him Immunity to All Physical Damage, since basically that's what he is.

Isn't it a recurring plot point in the actual manga that the entire Ranking system was highly inaccurate and hugely arbitrary in the first place?
>>
>>44148000
no, the system is flawless.
>>
>>44148000
No, for the most part it seems to be fairly accurate, barring (admittedly large) exceptions such as King and Saitama. It has shown, however, that the system houses a fair amount of corrupt heroes and that the system is pretty subject to abuse as a result.
>>
>>44148012
Pretty sure it's not.
Even aside from Saitama you have Mumen Rider (who has been explained to be technically worthy of B-Class rank simply because he's stopped so many crimes despite having no powers or skills of note, and he just stays in C-Class for personal reasons), Fubuki (who's been stated to technically be a good-ranking A-Class in terms of power but again stays in B-Class for personal reasons).

The Hero Ranking System in OPM is, like literally everything else in the series, meant to be a joke riffing on something. In this case the incredibly arbitrary ranking systems seemingly all shounen series have that everyone on Earth seems to agree on even though as even shounen goes on the ranking system begins to be more and more poorly defined to the point where you wonder how it was ever created in the first place.

In OPM part of the joke is that the System really WAS completely arbitrary even in-universe and it was created by a guy without superpowers.
>>
>>44148077
The entire setting is basically a semi-serious parody, isn't it?
Saitama himself seems to be a parodic example of the hero who gains incredible physical powers through "training" as happens in tons of shonen anime, even though they tend to get crazy physics-breaking superpowers even though all you see them doing is getting physical exercise akin to Saitama's stupidly simplistic training regimen.
>>
GURPS
>>
>>44148128
Funny enough, the webcomic actually explained how Saitama got so damn powerful.

Apparently, everyone has some sort of cosmic limit or something, which basically means a person can become stronger up to a specific point, but can go no further. Saitama was apparently such a scrub that by sticking to his exercise regime he actually managed to break that limit. As a result, he no longer has ANY limits. He's surpassed his limits and now he's nigh-unstoppable.

So basically, Saitama became as powerful as he is because he was such a scrub that breaking his limit was as easy as sticking to a daily exercise routine.
>>
>>44148337
Well, he pretty much was on his way to becoming a neet before he had a change of heart and started exercising.
>>
>>44148337
I know, I just kinda like it better when his superpowers are just arbitrarily that powerful and silly because "training"; it fits the parody better.
Though it seems a TON of heroes are just normal people with superhuman physical abilities they got through training, so Saitama's only special in that his training had such absurdly overpowered results.
>>
So which one of you fags is gonna make the Quest/civ thread for this?
>>
>>44148362
Even so, most neets wouldn't gain super powers just by exercising. That should give you an idea of how weak Saitama originally was, to the point where a regular exercise routine pushed him so hard that all his hair fell out and he broke his limit. Probably says a lot about Saitama's willpower and determination too.
>>44148372
I dunno, I like the explanation for how he got so strong. It's funny and ridiculous, exactly how the manga/webcomic is supposed to be.
>>
>>44148128
it's not just "a parody", it's a legitimately great story with better writing than anything you'd compare it to, with saitama on top flattening all the stupidest aspects even though they don't actually exist in this particular story.

it's a better version than everything else in its genre, while making fun of the inferior incarnations. like sea kings chain punch, every hit is meant to kill.

>>44148337
that was like one line from a guy who hadn't done any actual research. it's just a retarded guess.
>>
>>44148337
He one-shot that crab guy even before he started training, so he can't have been that much of a scrub.
>>
>>44148421
Yeah, but the guy making said guess was a super genius, and it's probably the closest thing to a serious explanation we'll ever get.
>>44148427
True. Although to be fair, he didn't kill it by punching it, he killed it by lassoing his tie around it's eye stalk and pulling as hard as he could. Shit was brutal as fuck, but not something a normal person couldn't do with a little luck.
>>
>>44148421
You seem to think "parody" means "bad".
It doesn't. It's an extremely clever parody that has excellent art (well, it NOW has excellent art) and a very good sense of humor.

There's even stuff making fun of shit outside of it's genre, like King watching that fantastically retarded anime with a main character with a super lame power (being a baked potato) but according to him "it's actually pretty deep and the plot gets going after the 4th episode".

I laughed at that because I've seen/heard of a TON of newer stuff where the main hero gets what seems to be a superficially lame power but later turns out to be an awesome/extremely versatile ability that starts out incredibly generically (always in a high school, often harem setup early on) but I'm told has a "deep plot" that picks up after a certain episode.
Clearly the author is extremely aware of the culture he lives in and subculture he's a part of and doesn't seen any harm in making fun of it a little.
>>
>>44148453
>it's probably the closest thing to a serious explanation we'll ever get.
It's fanon, and the serious explanation is the one we were given; that's the joke.
And it IS supposed to a joke, a giant anticlimax just like every other thing Saitama does; his coolest "fights" are all him letting the other guy hit him, because as soon as he does anything the fight ends almost immediately.

He also took a hit that send him flying through the air and into a metal object.
In real life when something hits you with enough force to send you body flying through the air you DIE, which is why when people get hit by trucks they inevitably are crippled or killed.
>>
>>44148505
I feel like this page encapsulates all you need to know about One Punch Man; a very traditional and dramatic classic anime moment broken by Saitama being anticlimactic/non-plussed/bored.
>>
>>44146520
This checks out
>>
>>44148380
A one-punch-man quest would have to be in the form of a random hero, or saitama after taking mind-altering drugs (since he has never been shown to be immune).
>>
>>44146520
>>44148526
animefag here, haven't read manga or the webcomic, and I have a question.
Is it true, that King got all the credit for every previous monster Saitama has slain, just by sheer luck of being in the right place at the right time, or is he some kind of deliberate con artists who knew exactly what he was doing? Also, when does it get revealed, and does saitama flip some shit?
>>
>>44148562
Sheer luck. Saitama basically just berated him for lying and told him to get better. Then they set up a video game play date.
>>
>>44148562
>just by sheer luck of being in the right place at the right time
Correct.

>does saitama flip some shit?
Nah, it's just a hobby for Saitama. The whole reason King even gets the credit is because Saitama never reports his victories, leaving bystanders to assume King did it and call that in.
>>
>>44148575
He berated him for lying not even because he stole Saitama's thunder, but because by lying about his heroic capabilities King puts himself in incredible danger and Saitama thinks this is unwise and he should instead focus on living up to his reputation.
>>
>>44148551
>would have to be in the form of a random hero

Why isn't that obvious? i want to make my own hero. Post the link here once you done writting.
>>
>>44148551
But who the hell would start it? DBZ quest just ended due to QM being a troll all along.
>>
>>44148515
He's anticlimactic/etc because well, he's what he is. He's nigh invulnerable and nothing has yet been able to resist his punch and he knows this. So he doesn't have to give a shit about the villain's monologue or bragging because in his head, the fight is already over and every second he's not delivering that punch, he's desperately hoping something interesting is going to happen this time that might make his blood rush a littlebit.

You can play OPM in GUMSHOE without any real trouble.

You just have to change all the investigative abilities to ones related to fighting monsters and villains (and sometimes heroes). Then OPM's "one punch" just becomes his Fisticuffs specialty.
>>
>>44148617
ehhhh I'd hesitate to call Saitama altruistic.
He's got powerful ennui from playing with cheatcodes 24/7 and is basically just looking for someone who can take a real punch, see his daydream about the subterranean crab people.
>>
>>44148724
have you forgotten his origin?
He basically threw himself in front of a kid that was about do get killed. AND HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS POWERS BACK THEN
If living your life for another person is not altruistic, then I don't know what is.
>>
>>44148748
fuck, giving* not living
>>
>>44148748
>He basically threw himself in front of a kid that was about do get killed. AND HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS POWERS BACK THEN
Have you forgotten the context of that, though? He was failing at job hunting, he was fed up with everything, and him saving the kid was about saying "Fuck it, I'll just make my heroic childhood fantasies real since this grown up life isn't really working out for me" at least as much as about altruism.
>>
>>44148707
Okay what the hell porn hub.
>>
>>44148771
Okay, I can agree with that his reasons weren't purely altruistic, but still, he did good and made a difference in a cold, uncaring world. I think being a paladin is about that, too.
>>
>>44147610
Saitama isn't completely invulnerable though. Everyone else is just really weak in comparison.
>>
>>44148748
>He basically threw himself in front of a kid that was about do get killed

While also shouting "damn it you shitty brat, if it weren't for Japan's declining birth rates I'd leave you to die!"
>>
>>44148807
Yeah, but he's invulnerable in the fact that literally nobody else in the setting can hurt him.
>>
>>44145855

How has nobody mentioned the Marvel Super Heroes system yet? It has a popularity mechanic, its Karma system simulated comic book tropes pretty well and it had a crazy power curve that works for One Punch Man
>>
>>44148819
Nobody has mentioned Hero system yet either, despite the fact it caters to every single thing shown in the manga and anime. Don't know about the we comic though since I have never seen it.
>>
>>44148816
Including Boros who was apparently powerful enough to wipe out everything on the surface of the Earth. So, pretty invulnerable by my standards.

Saitama is the main character and you believe parody is an afterthought?
>>
>>44148840

Hero System wouldn't be that great a choice, I think. It is a very game-y system, meant to be balanced and fair at all levels, and is highly complex in order to ensure that this is usually maintained. At the same time, it suffers from severe Ivory Tower issues, where the game balance can be easily gamed by a knowledgeable player and some options are categorically worse.

You really don't need this if you're playing One Punch Man, because it shouldn't be a game in which 'fair play' is an issue, because it's going to be tongue in cheek, with the players and GM working together to have fun (I hope!)

Are you sure?
>>
>>44149456
Not really. If he could actually legit fly, he probably would--instead, he runs and jumps everywhere, like the Hulk, only with the same weight as a normal, fit human being. So he's probably able to just kick the air hard enough to gain momentum in a different direction or something. So he can't fly, he can just jump good
>>
>>44149524
When you can move to whatever you want and stay as long as you want in midair, that counts as flying.

I'm not really convinced he can stay in the air indefinitely. Because if he could, he probably would.

What about fubuki's mooks and other normal humans who somehow survive in B rank
>>
>>44149728
They survive in the B rank because they'r good enough for B-rank. They seem like weaklings compared to some of the more powerful creatures out there, but they're still pretty tough guys and significantly stronger than the average citizen or the average violent criminal.
>>
>>44149728
>>44149773
I think a lot of Fubuki's mooks would be in a much lower rank of they didn't join her clan.
>>
>>44149868
Doesn't she recruit people who have already made it to rank B?
>>
>>44149587
It probably takes a lot of energy to get airtime by hitting air, and he can move faster by pushing off ground instead. Remember, Saitama is lazy. If running gets him where he's going faster, he'll run.
>>
>>44149989
Yeah he is very lazy. If he actually tried to become popular one day, all he'd have to do is show off his strength/speed/durability.
>>
>>44150030
He probably would have been promoted to S-class if he hadn't said anything after fighting Sea King.
>>
>>44150506
Hell, He'd be promoted to A class immediately if someone recorded video of him walking straight through automatic gunfire.
>>
>>44150593
Or him surviving a full on punch from Genos.
>>
>>44149868
She only recruits from B-rank to begin with, so while their exact place within the rank might be skewed they still deserve to be there.

Remember, part of the ranking system is how much hero work they actually do, not just their raw combat potential. That's why King, the "strongest man in the world", is only #7, he doesn't do that much work relative to the other people in his tier.

I would say he was pretty altruistic when he helped out the police and let them take credit for taking down a monster.
>>
>>44151356
There is nothing in the pages provided about Saitama being such a scrub that he had a particularly easy time breaking his limiter, though. The theory actually offered in the comic amounts to "Dude trained until he was overpowered as fuck".
>>
>>44151456
Except for the part where his "training" was a bog standard fitness routine.

For comparison, Garou also breaks his limit but for him to do so he had to already be a master martial artist and go on to get his ass kicked within an inch of his life repeatedly by obscenely powerful dudes in his quest to become a monster.
>>
>>44151303
>>44151261
The problem with this is that it's a theory put forward by a scientist who's obsessed with breaking the barrier of human potential, so of course he's going to suggest the man who's become this powerful has done that.

Remember, the series also offers the fact that there are mysterious beings capable of giving humans god like power.
>>
>>44151527
>obsessed with breaking the barrier of human potential

Expanding the barrier.
Saitma just up and broke it, invalidating his entire scientific career.
>>
>>44151508
Yes, Saitama breaking his limiter with a bog standard fitness routine is part of the joke, and part of Saitama's ridiculousness. No actual explanation for that is provided in the comic. The part about Saitama breaking his limiter isn't a fan theory, but attempts at explaining how and why he was able t break his limiter are.
>>
>>44151508
Garou doesn't break his limiter, not in the same way.

The point is that even after doing that, Garou doesn't even come close to touching Satiama. Hell, he gets weaker as the fight goes on, not stronger.

The whole point of Garou's thing is to show that whatever Satiama did, it's even past breaking a limiter.
>>
>>44151508

Wasn't the thing just that his power came from fighting stronger and stronger monsters, but he just kinda chalked it all up to just training?
>>
>>44151552
this also the limiter is not word of god, it's a theory put forward by a in-universe scientist who just so happens to be obsessed with this exact thing and also fails to do anything useful with his presumed knowledge.
>>
>>44151608
No.

Murata is trying to get better though. He's made better use of blacks lately.

>>44148077
>you wonder how it was ever created in the first place.
It was made by a billionaire with no experience in organizing heroes. It started three years ago.

Also, Sweet Mask also stays in A-class despite being S-class talent for the personal reason of preventing other people from getting to S-class. Because otherwise, people would just move up and the S-class would get diluted. The ratios of who qualifies between one class and the next are also pretty fucked.

This is a fan theory.

It's literally in the webcomic.

No. Just some of them.

>is he some kind of deliberate con artists
Well, he was shown to be working for the Yakuza in the first OVA. But this was before he was a hero.
>>
>>44151728
It is an in universe theory by a scientist.
>>
>>44148077
Still, the system is hardly arbitrary. People in higher classes really are more powerful than people in lower classes, as a general rule with some exceptions. Rank within class really is an indicator of achievement and capability - not a perfect indicator, but not unrelated to actual competence either. The system is far from flawless but it still works pretty well for the purpose of dividing heroes by their power.
>>
>>44148924
Well, it does kind of come across that way in Murata's version.

Is Tornado the most powerful S class then, even though she's at #2?

>>44152057
We haven't seen number one, so who knows?
>>
>>44149021
Yes, yes he is, that's the point.It's yet another parody of the Anime convention of the protagonist being a generic blank slate that the average "grass-eater" anime/manga fan can copy-paste their own face onto. This is that, taken to its comedic extreme, then played with for genuine artistic result.
>>
>>44152197
Also visually he's a parody of anpanman.
>>
>>44151612
Part of the joke is the author trolling people who make up elaborate fan-fiction about limiters.

In each of those situations he was actually kicking off of another object while he was in mid-air.

Garou explicitly failed to "break his limiter" because he hit a wall in his development (that wall being Saitama). He neared the precipice, but then was overcome with doubt/despair and actually started getting weaker.

This is not the word that loli is short for.

Also the anime did a shit job of characterization for her.

so what are the differences between manga/webcomic and anime of her characterization?
and why does loli /=/ lolicon?

>>
>>44152987
In manga/webcomic, she acts like an adult, she's just kind of a bitch and touchy about her height. In the anime she's just a generic childish tsundere.

loli is short for "lolita" as in the book by Nabokov. It's used to refer to a little girl, but usually in a sexual context. Lolicon is short for "lolita compex", or pedophilia. In the west, it's used for an affiinity specifically for drawn stuff; anime and manga. When used as a noun, it applies to a person who's into little girls.
>>
>>44153074
oooh, I see
Thank you
I read Nabokov's book, but in my national language, and it was translated differently, so there's that
>>
>>44152594
she was annoying in the manga, she's annoying in the anime. Her innate powers have gotten to her head and, unlike Satima, She's gotten recognized for them as well. most things can not stand in her way so she coasts on that.
>>
>>44153060
>fucking up this scene

THEY DID? How? It's storyboarded right there! One punch man is the first manga I've read that deals with the constant (and it is constant) movement of the camera that mangas apperently have to involve in a way that's conducive to the presentation, rather than just making the scene harder to follow (and yes, I am looking at you BLAME!)
>>
>>44153166
The fact that Satima gets fucking talked down to by a annoying little childish psychic girl pisses me off.

Psychic annoying girls in general make me want to tear my hair out
>>
>>44153093
so you're a pedophile
>>
>>44153211
it's annoying since it implys Saitama can be beaten by charisma and trickery, which goes agaisnt the joke. He should be so thick headed and daft that no amount of shouting or nagging could ever change his mind, which incidentally is always set on the right thing to do.

Well, OPM actually told him that, in the end, if he wanted to help, then he was a hero, not matter what his antics were.
So, he told Garou to just act like one and to try do fix all the things he fucked up in the process

Saitama just doesn't give a fuck. Even when she insults him constantly, in the end he just stop listening to what she's saying (making her even angrier in the process)

power man would win. Power man's power is that he wins everything, Saitama's power is that he can't be beaten by anything that feasably exists in an anime universe.

Powerman's got fourth wall powers, Saitama only has author fiat.

I was actually talking about this with my MnM group.

We came to the conclusion that since there's no real way to include a 'you're hit youre fucked' PCI unless you're at a PL where everyone can do that, you could get away with a punchy character and fluff any non-finishing hits as near-misses etc. it's not ideal but at least it's functional in a team game.

>>44147983
I played a Batman expy in a oneshot a little while back, a Returns-esque fading old vigilante. His sheet was full of 'powers' that were things like immediate teleports when hidden etc.

It was great to be able to do all the cool shit like 'the cop turns back and you're GONE', 'the thugs open up on the door and you come flying out the rotten ceiling' etc.

I include him in M&M. Costs a bunch of hero points to summon him and have him remove whatever the monster is around, no fuss no muss except for cleaning up the gore. Cost depends on how big the monster is.

Technically yep, practically slightly less. Including somnius, whom I suspect is the one being reffered as "troll QM", still chugging along, having never really stopped.
Aside from him we got Eail with Space Alcoholic (cousing of Frieza, started much weaker PL wise but a tech wiz and also drunk) and Sayian Warrior (OC sayian back on Pl Vegeta, by WILL OF THE DICE transformed into an overpowered guy, quest pretty much dead); Chuckles Space Monkeys (trio of female sayian survivors started on space adventures, then got to party with Z warriors and Earth's problems); and Kato's Tuffle (two Tuffle twins, clones from beta runs by that mad scientist guy, dumped on Eath in DB Classic era)

Don't forget Saitama's perception of time is fucked.

Those moments when the bombardment rounds are flying past him are nigh instantaneous.

He moves so fast Sanic can't see him move, and Sanic moves so fast Hammerhead can't see him move.

He's not still we are just in his frame of reference in the show.

If I made them today, is probably call them Saitama's Gauntlets of Punching.

>>44153358
Exactly. It sucks, but it takes money to get these things made. Its either you cut some corners, get some real wealthy people to back you up, or just don't do it at all. Nevermind that you have to worry about pacing and how much time you spend on an episode when you've got a deadline and can only make a certain number of episodes.
>>
>>44159714
Yea. I think people are forgetting that Murata has an absolutely huge amount of time to do the stuff he does, and he's only got to put out 20-30 pages, not an entire episode of animation.

I'm sure the animators would have loved to animate that, but really couldn't.

I'm trying to remember if they did the mech scene panel for panel.
