[Takez� Kensei] Seven Swordsmen

[Takezo Kensei]

This suggestion deals with the distribution of the seven swords known has The Seven Swords of the Hidden Mist. The way this system works is with a point system. Keep in mind that not only is this point system for this event but it could also be integrated into other systems if we're to ever have multiple events in the game.

 

Points

To start off, I'll explain the point system. Each victory at the end of a tournament will earn you +1 point. Depending on where you stand on the list, you will have a maximum amount of points you can have. This is to help players who have a sword have too many points & be out of reach of other players getting their chance to be apart of the Seven Swordsmen.

Maximum Points List

No Sword - 2 points

7th Swordsmen - 4 points

6th Swordsmen- 6 points

5th Swordsmen- 8 points

4th Swordsmen- 10 points

3rd Swordsmen- 12 points

2nd Swordsmen- 14 points

1st Swordsmen- 16 points.

 

Non-Listed Players & Points
Everyone starts out with 0 points of course. When you reach 2 points with no sword, you can then challenge the sword user with the 7th sword for his sword. For this fight, you'll be challenging him for his sword. If you lose, the swordsmen keeps his sword & you lose your points. If the non-swordsmen wins the fight, the swordsmen loses 2 points. If the 7th Swordsmen doesn't have 2 points minimum by the end of that fight, then he loses his sword.

Note: The 7th swordsmen will be able to have a maximum of 4 points so he'll have 1 chance to keep his sword.

For this fight, you'll be challenging him for his sword. If you lose, the swordsmen keeps his sword & you lose your points. If the non-swordsmen wins the fight, the swordsmen loses 2 points. If the 7th Swordsmen doesn't have 2 points minimum by the end of that fight, then he loses his sword.

Note: The 7th swordsmen will be able to have a maximum of 4 points so he'll have 1 chance to keep his sword.

 

Listed Players & Points
The listed players will be the players who have a sword, the Swordsmen. Pretty much the same thing will apply to the swordsmen as the non-listed played, the difference is they they'll basically only be able to challenge each other according to their points. 7th Swordsmen will only be able to challenge the 6th Swordsmen. He can either challenge the 6th Swordsmen or keep his points & save them in case he gets challenged by another person for his position as the 7th Swordsmen.

This next part applies to only the 'listed' players, in other words, the Seven Swordsmen but this deals with their position in the Swordsmen. If you're the 7th Swordsman, you don't have anybody else to swap weapons with. But if you're the 1st position Swordsmen, you're allowed to challenge any other Swordsmen to swap weapons with theirs. They'll put not only their swords on the line but also the 2 points that I mentioned earlier in my post, so in other words, they'll be putting their position on the line.

The Swordsmen & Points
For being listed, you get your title as a Swordsmen & you get your sword. Below is a requirement for each sword, position (your title), and the points required in order to receive the next title.

Swords Position - (Points to acquire sword)

Kubikirib?ch? - 7th Swordsmen (2)

Samehada - 6th Swordsmen (4 )

Nuibar - 5th Swordsmen (6)

Kabutowari - 4th Swordsmen (8)

Shibuki - 3rd Swordsmen (10)

Kiba - 2nd Swordsmen (12)

Hiramekarei - 1stSwordsmen (14)

?Note: I chose the order by random so don't worry about what order the swords are in.

 

Challenging & Points
As far as challenging a player goes, we don't want you to receive a sword & then get challenged immediately just to lose your sword shortly after. So for the 7th position, once you've acquired your first sword, I would suggest that they're 'immune' to getting challenged for the next couple of hours or minutes so that he can get used to the sword. Along with that, 7th position swordsmen, because he'll have more challenges then the rest will be allowed to decline 3 times maximum before the next tournament, after that he'll be forced to fight any fights that he is challenged. If a swordsmen had a fight already for his sword, he is allowed to decline fights for the next hour without penalty.

Limitations & Points
Along with having a sword, you should be an active player or else it wouldn't be fair to the other players who are looking foward to using the sword. Everyone should get their chance at the sword if they're worthy of the sword. So for that I would also suggest there being limitations as to the maximum amount of points you can have (as I've established before) as well as participating in the tournaments whenever they're hosted. Failure in participating in a tournement will deduct 1 point from you. This will apply to listed played only so that they're active players. If they ever end up losing their sword by inactivity, it shouldn't be a big deal, just earn the sword again. That's what'll make this event on-going & really fun in the end.

 

I'm just displaying what the swords are & their abilities in the anime/manga but they're not going to be in the game.

Hiramekarei - A bandaged double-handled sword that is capable of storing and emitting the user's chakra which can then take on various forms. It is also called a "Twin Sword". 

Kubikirib?ch? "Decapitating Carving Knife" - A giant sword with a butcher-knife-like appearance, the wielder can use the semi-circle on the blade to decapitate an opponent's head, hence the name. The sword has an ability to regenerate using the iron absorbed from the blood of those it cuts down. It is also called a "Sever Sword".

Kabutowari "Helmet Splitter" - A sword consisting of a single sided axe and a hammer joined by a length of chain. Said to be capable of crushing any and all defences. It is also called a "Blunt Sword".

Kiba "Fangs" - Twin swords that are imbued with lightning which increases their cutting power. They are said to be the sharpest swords ever forged. They are also called "Thunder Swords".

 

Nuibari "Sewing Needle" - A sword in the shape of a needle with a long thin wire that resembles thread attached to it, which can be used to pierce enemies and "sew" them together in human bundles. It is also called a "Long Sword".

Shibuki "Splash" - A sword that has a scroll full of explosive tags incorporated into it, lined up behind the blade, combining swordsmanship and explosions. It is also called a "Blast Sword".

Samehada "Shark Skin" - The most terrifying of the seven blades, it has the appearance of a giant knife covered in shark scales. It is a sentient, living weapon and has the ability to "eat" chakra. It is also called a "Great Sword".


Will the swords have the abilities they had in the anime/manga?
No, @Rory, I think is settled on the idea of making them a cosmetic item. Which is fine by me.
 
Why don't we keep our swords if we won them fair & square?
There are 7 swords & it wouldn't be fair if you keep that after you won them once & you log out for the next year. We need to make sure everyone has a fair chance with all the swords. So I proposed that tournaments be hosted at least 1 or 2 times a week. Failure to participate in the tournamenet you lose 2 points from your score which'll either give you 1 more chance to keep your sword or you lose your position.

What about swapping weapons or keeping your sword?
Depending on your position in the Seven Swordsmen, you'll be allowed to swap weapons with the other swordsmen but only the lower ranked ones.

Do you need to be missing to join the Seven Swordsmen?
Short answer, no. In the show for example, there was Ch?j?r?, Kisame, & Zabuza, 1 Kiri, 1 Akatsuki, 1 Missing. But all still had a sword while being apart of another faction. village, orgnization or none at all. Though it originated in Kiri, there was no obligation to stay in the village to keep the sword.


I do believe that I left some things out in this one, I spent a while trying to figure out details for this and a way to 'perfect' it, though I know it isn't perfect & there might be questions still to be asked, go ahead & do so in the comments, I'll try my best to answer them & let me know what you think of this.

You shouldn't permanently keep your sword once you obtain it. Eventually a lot of people will have one of each, because of friend shit, and then? Pointless system.

 

By no sword, do you mean no sword? Like not even the general one? Assuming there is a sword available to everyone. Because really points should only count if you win with a sword and beat a 7th swordsman with that regular sword. Because that shows that you can beat them even with a lesser sword. Imagine if this was in GOA(I know, just a reference) and someone beath the seventh swordsman by spamming ctr or clones and because of that they got a position in the SEVEN SWORDSMAN, wouldn't make much sense would it?

 

Other than that, pretty cool system.

[Takezo Kensei]

Yea, there won't be multiple swords for obvious reasons of course. As far as how to enter into the tournament being a sword user yourself or not, I don't didn't really say because that might be decided by the staff. But majority vote would probably say that you should be a sword user in order to enter the tournament. Again, I don't know how a system would be able to tell if you're a sword user or not but that would be a good idea as well.

[Uchiha Solo]

Ya this idea sounds good im pretty op with swords

[Aido]

Ya this idea sounds good im pretty op with swords

We will see how competitive you are when the game comes out.

[Noble]

I would like the option of deathmatches, so the swordsmen can kill off their opposition

[Aido]

Death Challenges wouldn't be so bad... Settles quarrels instantly Lol

[Afro Samurai]

I agree with this SSM system can't wait for the release

[Jahmah]

however it's played out it'll still be good.

[Madboy1]

I think this is all good.

On the first page of what takezo said at the bottom*Well done*. If you fight and lose you should lose your position and rank down and take whatever sword.. gah IE: Anarchy(Member #1) Lost to Takezo(Member #2) so it instead switches to -> Takezo has now collect Anarchys Sword and Anarchy takes takezo's sword which is a lower rank.

[Takezo Kensei]

+1 Thanks for the support guys

What if I don't want a diferent sword, but I'm number 2 and I beat number 1.

[Takezo Kensei]

Well that got me to thinking & here's an add-on to the suggestion Swapping weapons, this applies to only the 'listed' players, in other words, the Seven Swordsmen but this deals with their position in the Swordsmen. If you're the 7th Swordsman, you don't have anybody else to swap weapons with. But if you're the 1st position Swordsmen, you're allowed to challenge any other Swordsmen to swap weapons with theirs. They'll put not only their swords on the line but also the 2 points that I mentioned earlier in my post, so in other words, they'll be putting their position on the line.

[Nigel]

I love it ^^ It's a great suggestion.

[Otto]

Yeah the system you're proposing seems pretty cool. I like the sense that you gotta battle for your place.

[ConstantineOLD]

it would be kinda a great system .  but what if the swords are like hidden in the world map and u are lucky to find them (they spawn after some time again ) and u need like high stats or something too wield it ? so that not everyone can wield a sword but needs too train hard for it and be lucky to find them ??

[Waverence]

I like this idea. Keeps it fair and makes sure everyone potientially has a shot at the sword.

The only part I dislike is how often you suggested for duels. It'd be a bit tedious if every hour someone wanted to fight for an item I possesed.

I think I'd prefer either this, or having a set chance to drop legendary items on death.

Completely different system you're talking about that just won't work if you ask me. There are seven swords for a reason & having them spawn isn't the same.

Times could be increased, some details could be changed, that's not a problem

[Feinz]

Well if your number 2 and beat number 1 theirs simple things that can be done. A keep-sword system if the winner decides to keep his sword he can keep it. It would be more of a fighting to keep their position or fighting for a position. Separate tournaments, separate days. But FFP(Fighting for position)would be mandatory and FFAP(Fighting for a position) would be optional.

[Tenshi]

Very well thought out. I like it alot. I hope some version of it is incorporated eventually.

 

Supported.
