It was cold as hell in the arcade you were in. True, the place was packed to the brim with cabinets featuring the latest and classic video games, but the sad thing was, most of them were occupied. Even Super Robot Wars, the game you'd come to play, had been in use by some grey-haired chubster the entire time you'd been there. Cemetary Gates, your favorite cabinet, was under maintainence at the moment, which kind of threw you off. You were a little sick of playing Pac-Man since they didn't have Ms, so with a shiver, you considered just leaving. However, on your way out, your eyes were drawn to a new machine. Two skinny Korean guys had just finished on the machine, and you knew this was your chance to jump on. “War of the Greatest”, it said. Not a tremendously imaginative title, but it looked like a 2 player tournament fighter. Might be fun to take out some aggression, eh? Well, it'd be better than going back to your empty, boyfriendless apartment.
Reaching into your pocket, you pull out a roll of coins. It's all you've got, but it doesn't look like anyone else is coming at the moment, giving you free reign of War of the Greatest. Opening the roll and placing a single quarter into the machine, your genre suspicions are confirmed. Looks like a pretty simple interface along the lines of Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat – eight fighters, each with their own square. Grasping the orb-and-stick based controls and getting ready to hit buttons, you make your decision.
Do you...
Select the beefy looking long haired wrestler? Moving over him, he displays a variety of attacks, including grappling, high flying assaults, and striking
Select the orange-clad classic-style Shaolin monk? He seemed to favor a style based on palm strikes and focused energy blasts, based on what he did when you moved the cursor over him.
Select the slick-skinned fishman looking dude? Looks like he was all about spreading his water to get an advantageous attack pattern, and then doing filthy approaches.
Select the skinny long-haired guy with no shirt? He just sort of stood there, hands behind his back, smiling... Difficult to assess his style without playing as him.
Select the blue and red-clad masked adventurer? She was lithe and seemed to be all about flips, speed and tricky moves, and looked kind of stylish.
Select the pale-skinned young lady in the plain blue, numbered jumpsuit? Flames lick the air around her, and every once in a while she twitches nervously.
Select the freaky looking purple skinned guy? Every once in a while, tentacles would peek out of his clothes, and it looked like his skin had weird scales.
Select the fat, bald black woman in a nice business suit? She was smoking a cigar and tapping her foot inpatiently.

Black woman was tempting, but my vote goes to fishman.

The masked adventurer seems like the most rushdown oriented of the bunch so that's my pick.
Also, don't think I didn't catch that Logan cameo. Very clever.

Bright lights flashed on the front of the cabinet, and you heard the announcer say the character's name: “Young Star Princess Jr.,” if the excited man they've got voicing the game was anything to go by. Very quickly, you're taken straight from the character selection screen to what seems to be the first stage you ended up on. That was surely better than some drawn out story intro, right? Letting your cares fade away, you allow yourself to be immersed in the graphics and sound of the video game. It's one way to cope, that's for sure. No judging, though, only hot, badass single player action...
Mountaintop Vista – Young Star Princess Jr. vs Big Quan
Evening. A rich blend of oranges, reds and purples dance in the sky, and atop the highest mountain on the island, he stands. My first opponent in the tournament, and he's right there! God, could this be a little fuckin' better?! Real violence! Real masters! This is exactly the kind of test I've been looking for, but wasn't getting taking down junkies and thugs! Everyone looked like they'd be fun to beat down, but this poor schmuck... I mean, yeah, I've seen people dress like that – in movies! Yeah, it's always the same story in those – big badass martial artist, fighting the power and saving those good in the world. You know, kind of like daddy.
I'm not like that. In fact, I'm so not like that that I can't help but take advantage of this orange wearing schmuck standing at the edge of this razor sharp cliff that we had to reach. Tightening the gloves part of my outfit and making sure my skirt is ready to flip up at a moment's notice, I try keeping as quiet as possible. Like a cat! Naturally, I'm not used to being silent or sneaky, but if I could wipe Mr. Karate off the map just by knocking his butt off a cliff, that'd be great. Unfortunately, before I can get into position to kick him square in the back, he turns around, staring at me blankly. Is there anything on the planet worse than a serious guy like that? It's like, have a little fun, or get angry or something!
“Were you trying to surprise me?” asked the bald... monk, I guess you'd call him? Real old school weirdo, he was, even if his exposed arms and tied-on orange robe revealed the fact that he was totally yolked.
“Yeah, I was gonna just knock you off the cliff,” I said, a little bit proud of my deviousness.
“I won't need to do anything like that.” Taking a wide and low stance, my first victim opened both of his palms and held them in front of him. Kinda weird, but whatcha gonna do? I mean, I wear a full-head mask with a big red star over most of my face, so I'm not really in a position to judge that part.
“That's okay. I still may splat you!” As the words pass my lips, I can't help but feel like a bad bitch. Crouching slightly, my calves get ready to launch me for a ton of fun.
TAKE!THEM!DOWN! ROUND 1 – DO IT!
Do you...
>Launch straight in, looking to pounce this bastard off the mountain and secure an early kill? Whether it works or not, it'd be great to get him off his game, close the distance between you and start landing on him.
>Start off by going straight into the air? I am amazing at covering ground in the air, better than anyone I know in fact! If this poor bastard is more of a ground fighter, I can see if he's dumb enough to try following me into the wrong side of town.
>Try to get behind him? He knows I'd planned to knock him off the sharp-edged hunk of black stone that passes for a mountain, but if I get into the air and overshoot him, I can totally do horrendous things to him from an angle he won't be expecting.
>Free Choice.

The monk seems like he's going to hit us with an energy blast. We should go for an aerial approach, jumping up and attacking from above.

Aerial and hope he's not just trying to bait us with a fireball so he can land a dragon punch.

Round 1
Okay, this guy looks nasty as fuck with those hands! Nothing good can come from getting hit with big wide palms, so I need to make sure the fight consists exclusively of my fists, feet, and everything else making contact with his soft spots. Launching headfirst isn't exactly going to accomplish that, so instead, I send myself flying into the sky. It's a simple manuever I've practiced thousands of times, but at a height like this it never fails to get that good old adrenal gland going. God, I love flying, especially for fights. Well, the good news is that he doesn't try to keep me out with some weird blast or anything. He's just shuffling around the limited area we've got to fight in, keeping perfect eye contact with me even when I shift my weight in midair to try to wind up towards the side of him. Sadly I've not got that kind of luck, and finally end up having to land without getting an impact or anything in. Instead of just abandoning the strategy, I jump fairly far above the guy once again
“Come on, motherfucker! Be a man and make the first move! I haaaaaate guys that don't have the guts to do what they want!” Hehe, that usually gets the job done. Most men can't handle having their masculinity attacked by a cute rich white girl like me.
I'd assumed this guy would answer me, but he just kept quiet and focused on me. The fact was that he just let me arc through the air, landing wherever I wished, but not changing my relative position from him much. That wasn't really acceptable, as I needed to get in if I was going to actually hurt him. It would be so much easier if he'd just be an idiot and try catching me 'defenseless' in the air or something. Deciding to play it a little closer toward him to catch this beefy Asian (Chinese? Korean? Fuck that, they all look the same to me) making a mistake and overextending, I spend a little time on the ground for a change. It actually makes me feel at a bit of a disadvantage, because my footwork is nowhere near as measured and smooth as his and it's freaking me out, man. Realizing that if I stay down there, I'll catch some palms, my legs send me rocketing into the air once again. I must remember to thank my lucky stars, because he's finally tried jumping as well!
Okay, I can thank them for absolutely nada because I've just had a damn energy orb fired at me! It wasn't even something aimed upwards, but a genuine chi blast sizzling through the air! The heat it's giving off is tremendous, and it actually scares the fuck out of me! He may as well have fired a bullet at me, and I might as well be screwed! At the last minute, I manage to shift my weight downwards, and sink like the stone I know I can! It's actually a little disorienting to be activating my 'platform game' power so heavily, but I'm lucky enough to hit the ground even before his frankly pitiful jump ends. Licking my lips, I launch toward him, narrowly missing a head on collision. Clearly he's not used to hitting it in the sky, as I'm easily able to throw my arms around his neck and pull him out of his trajectory and into mine! As we sail together closer and closer toward the edge of this mess of blackish-gray stone, I let out a “HA!” that carries quite well over the Valley of Killers. Disappointingly, there's no time to spare for whether or not any of the other plebs in this contest could hear the echo of my jubilant cry, as soon I feel that satisfying impact of landing, first in my feet and then on my shoulder, as Kung Fu Karl's neck cracks from the pressure of being wedged in between my muscles during a rough landing. His voice cracks too, and he's barely able to elbow me and the back and push me away. We're even nearer to the edge now, and though I can taste victory through knock-off, I know that it isn't likely to be so easy.
Do you...
>Stick with the jumping. It seems to be what Young Star Princess Jr. does best! She should keep targeting the head and neck area!
>Stick with the jumping because YSP Jr. is great at it, but hit him low! Yeah, he won't see that one coming!
>Try out YSP Jr.'s ground game. Obviously she has more than just aerials, right? Try out the dashes and general mobility opportunities. Explore her moveset.
>Act like an asshole and try to waste enough time to win now that you have a health advantage.
>Free Choice
