HOW'S MY DRIVING JANUARY '13

[mansionstaff]

GREETINGS, SMASHIES!

As many of you know, we maintain an internal How's My Driving post (it has since been made temporarily private) for all your constructive criticism needs. However, we've decided to shake it up a bit.

Welcome to Smash Academy's POP-UP HMD.

HMD memes will happen EVERY OTHER MONTH. Posting here is optional, but strongly recommended. Everyone wants to improve!

RULES:

● Use the form to post your dudes!
● Offer constructive criticism to other dudes!
● Play nice. Be civil. Do NOT call names, insult anyone, or disclose personal information. Each player's view is their own and everyone has different interpretations. Offer solutions to problems you may have, if possible. Flaming will not be tolerated. Conversely, if you receive crit you do not agree with, be polite. HMD is a great place to foster discussion!
● Bring player concerns to moderator attention here, or by sending a PM to mansionstaff.
● Please respect the poster's preferences regarding anonymous comments. If you'd rather not make your identity known, bring it to the mods and we can deliver the crit for you.
● If you feel any crit you get is too harsh or getting too personal, let a mod know and we'll handle it. Do not delete your posts!

Anonymous commenting is enabled, but this is a privilege, not a right. If it is abused, it may be disabled entirely.

Shadow the Hedgehog • Sonic the Hedgehog • obfuskate

Link to Personal HMD(s): Shadow • N
Allow Anon Comments: Yes
Other notes: KIND OF HAVING SOME SMALL TROUBLE BEING ENGAGING WITH N... If anyone has some critique or ideas, do let me know because I'm in a bit of a rut with him lately. Also BE AS HARSH AS YOU WANNA BE, tear me to shreds, I can take it.

[duodeca]

Player: Bani
Characters: Noel Vermillion • BlazBlue • duodeca
Link to Personal HMD(s): ok
Allow Anon Comments: Yes
Other notes: I know I've been sucking with activity lately which is the fault of my own paranoia and fear ;_; but I will take any crit you have to give me about Noel. Do what you must.

Allow Anon Comments: Yes
Other notes: I've had some inactive periods but I hope to get back into the swing of the game soon. I fail at multitasking apparently.

[un_worthy]

Player: Jess
Characters: Miles Edgeworth • Ace Attorney • un_worthy
Hilda • Pokemon • for_truth
Link to Personal HMD(s): Edgeworth, Hilda
Allow Anon Comments: ( Yes | No )
Other notes: Both HMD posts should be screened, allow for anonymous commenting, and have IP logging turned off. If not, let me know and I'll fix it. If you want to talk about something through IM/PM/any other private venue, that's cool, I'm up for it!

[forgetbeam]

Player: Shocky
Characters:
Aquenda Tenderhoof • Warcraft [OC] • tenderhoof
Kiyotaka Ishimaru • Dangan Ronpa • forgetbeam
Mary • Ib • paletteknife
Link to Personal HMD(s): I guess I only got around to doing Ishimaru's.
Allow Anon Comments: Yes
Other notes: Reviewed Ib at some point over the weekend, so ... if that makes a difference in anything, there you go.

Samus | Warren | Rick

[icequeen_aran]

Player: Kat

Characters: Samus Aran • Metroid • icequeen_aran
Link to Personal HMD(s): the baby the baby
Allow Anon Comments: Yes
Other notes: I've been struggling with her for a while, largely due to her longevity/developments here (I often feel like I've played out just about everything and I'm not sure what to do with her anymore) so her activity hasn't been what it used to be, but other than that nothing to note.

Characters: "Seth Richardson" aka Warren (Persian) • Pokemon • stay_classy_cat
Link to Personal HMD(s): nyan nyan nyan nyan
Allow Anon Comments: Yes
Other notes: Sometimes I worry about balancing his covert scum and villainy with developing him as a character (turning him into a Meowth for Halloween was really great in that regard), I'd love to know if I could be doing anything specifically better. And other than an awareness to being occasionally slow with tags, nothing else to note.

Characters: Rick (Adventure Sphere) • Portal 2 • explosion_day/bedroomblackbelt
Link to Personal HMD(s): old spice core
Allow Anon Comments: Yes
Other notes: CRIT ESPECIALLY WELCOME, I fear there's a lot I could be doing wrong with him, or that he might come across as a one-trick pony, so please let me know if there's anything I could be doing better.

Player: Kate
Characters:
Ai the Purple Pikmin • Pikmin • iaiai & violetcandypop
Eli the Arbok • Pokémon • hissyfit & venomous

Allow Anon Comments: I'd prefer not, but if you feel it's necessary.

[ivantheterrible]

Player: Andy
Characters: Ivan Raikov • Metal Gear Solid • ivantheterrible
Link to Personal HMD(s): Here - Comments should be screened / IP-logging off / Anon enabled
Allow Anon Comments: Sure
Other notes: I'm new but I've played Raikov for years so feel free to dig in. But please take into consideration that he's extremely heavy on the headcanon since he's such a minor character and I mostly try to work with everything there was in the game + keep everything I've developed myself as consistent as possible.

Other notes: I ONLY JUST RE-APPED HIM and I appreciate any feedback you might have to give. One bit of feedback I don't really care to hear is probably related to "you haven't been around" because I just picked him back up, hahaha. (Trust me, I wish I could rp all the time too.)
