/nep/ - Hyperdimension Neptunia

I've never really heard of the icup until I saw a webm of /christian/ winning against /pol/ (I think) with the AWESOME GOD song and the thread that appeared on /v/.

I wouldn't mind having a discussion on this, especially considering that the Senran board is part of the icup.

Might as well give in my input if we ever go with this

For team uniforms, Neptune's outfit (Original HDN/RB1-wise) would be the home costume while Nepgear would be the away costume. 

Reason I stuck with Neptune and Nepgear is because while Nepgear tends to have more support than Neptune in our threads, they are both pretty much the faces of the franchise (Maybe not Nepgear as much but still) and it would suit our board name nicely.

I can't think of anything else like the nicknames, the team logo, or the fanfares at the moment so if anyone has ideas, feel free to shoot

Yeah, it's more or less going to be Planeptune colors…although there's not as much to distinguish between her parka and Gear's…"skirt suit" thing color wise.

We need to have 24 person team IIRC. 2/24 of them are "gold-tier" characters with highly boosted stats, and another 2/24 characters are "silver-tier" with moderately boosted stats.

So I think our "Top 4" characters should have individualized themes. Naturally these would be Nep, Noire, Vert and Blanc (Nep & Noire gold-tier; Blanc & Vert silver-tier).

We'd also have the CPU Candidates in there, so that's another 4 characters. I suspect we'd also want Plutia, Pii and Uzume in there as well. Also IF and Compa. That'd take care of half our roster right off the bat.

As far as musical themes, since I was about to get to it in >>2951.

I don't know what would be a good theme for Neptune, there are several options. Maybe the remix of the Planeptune theme from Re;Birth1, although Smile Spiral could work too. For more drama the "Ancient Dragon" bit from the anime could work as well.

https://youtu.be/0moV3vhjGB0 (Smile Spiral)
https://youtu.be/JteI1rK3uyE ("Ancient Dragon" scene)

I'd suggest Noire's theme should be "Solid Park"; either the OG version or the one she uses from the anime. It's sufficiently action packed and not overly busy like some of her other themes.

Vert's theme would be best served with Leanbox Rising from the very first game in the series. There's always her go-to music of course as well.

https://youtu.be/UXA0ywAaY3M (V/R;B1/R;B3 theme…need hi-fi version)

Blanc's theme…maybe the theme from her Japanese castle from Victory/R;B3. Or maybe the theme from her game (or indeed something from it in general).

I think the team's entrance theme should either be "Field Of View", "$100" or "Planeptune, V version", and the general scoring theme (for non-stars) should be "Mini-Car".

Good idea. I don't expect us to go very far, but it can be fun.

>>2951
Fill the remaining of the roster with the makers and Brave, he deserves a place

>>2951

>Yeah, it's more or less going to be Planeptune colors…although there's not as much to distinguish between her parka and Gear's…"skirt suit" thing color wise.

True.

>We need to have 24 person team IIRC. 2/24 of them are "gold-tier" characters with highly boosted stats, and another 2/24 characters are "silver-tier" with moderately boosted stats.

>So I think our "Top 4" characters should have individualized themes. Naturally these would be Nep, Noire, Vert and Blanc (Nep & Noire gold-tier; Blanc & Vert silver-tier).

Thats fine by me (Noire works good for gold since she also has more support on our threads than Vert or Blanc, Main CPU wise)

>We'd also have the CPU Candidates in there, so that's another 4 characters. I suspect we'd also want Plutia, Pii and Uzume in there as well. Also IF and Compa. That'd take care of half our roster right off the bat.

Yes it would.

Here's mine, I worked this out before going to bed last night:

Neptune
Noire
Blanc
Vert
Nepgear
Uni
Ram
Rom
Plutia
Peashy
Uzume
Rei Ryghts

IF
Compa
Kei
Mina
Chika
5pb.
MAGES.
Falcom
MarvyAQL
Arfoire
Linda
CFW Brave

Linda has sort of a higher level of popularity here, so I put her in aside from Cave as Leanbox is already very heavily represented with Vert, 5pb and MAGES..

I'd think that both Arfoire and Brave are pretty non-negotiable. So both of them on board, instead of Red or Broccoli.

Falcom and Marvy have had a lot of development so they are sure bets. Same with 5pb and MAGES..

If I were to choose between Oracles or Makers with less development, I'd choose Oracles. But since there would be about three slots with that, make the three normal-size ones into players.

So that's 24 slots filled; all CPUs are represented, as are most of the Oracles (Histy's the coach or something) and the most noteworthy makers and foes.

>>2957

Hmm, well I like that roster more.

As for the team music…

I propose for team entrance to be either the anime OP (Dimension Tripper), Re;Birth 3's menu theme, or Re:Birth 1's OP

I like the general scoring idea for non-stars, I was thinking of the anime ED for the stars scoring (Especially with the "Here we go, way to go, Neputune!!" part)

Thats what I have on music anyway.

Designing the team logo might either be easy or hard, depending on what we're rolling with.

>>2958
I suggest Neptune's hairpin or an eggplant design.

>eggplant logo

That's some dangerous fire you are playing with there, anon.

>>2958
>Delight of the Victors (R;B3 menu)

Oooh, forgot about that. That would work nicely, that's a very solid tune for a sporting event or in general for that matter.

The end theme would be a good substitute for Minicar. Its a shame as honestly most the players have their own theme but it'd be a hassle keeping track of them all.

>>2959

Good ideas, might see if I can whip out a good logo this week

Now the last thing thats needed are the nicknames.

/bane/ has The Big Guys
/tech/ has The /tech/nicians
/v/ has The /v/irgins

What is ours?

The /Nep/oitsts.

Sounds good.

That's what I get for writing in a hurry.

The /Nep/otists. There we go.

Hmm. It looks like your chances of being included go up rather drastically the higher your board is on the list.

Since most of the board is on /v/ right now, we're at like 142nd. Which isn't high at all, although we are more active than /atheism/ if that counts for anything.

Here are some pertinent threads on /icup/…
>>>/icup/4657
>>>/icup/4716

I'm pretty sure we got close to Top 50 when the /v/ generals got shitcanned a few months back but then we dropped down again when they started up again. Pretty sure if everyone on /v/ posted on this board for a few days we could probably hover around where /baph/ and /4chon/ is right now.

>>2966

Ah.

Well, even if it looks like we aren't going to be added for the icup, at least we have our ideas for the team down

>>2966
>Pretty sure if everyone on /v/ posted on this board for a few days we could probably hover around where /baph/ and /4chon/ is right now.
Probably. We can also ask /v/'s writers if they can do something for the icup.

>>2966
true

We should show every board our love to neps
