I just recently came into the fold on Sotm and bought the game+expansions. I have been into super heroes for quite some time so I really enjoy the product.
After doing some researching, mostly card references, there is one reference that is very apparent to me but I haven't seen it listed elsewhere (maybe my research skills need work, or maybe it's because I'm late to the party).
it has to deal with the time traveling cowpoke we all love, Chrono-Trigger... I mean Ranger.
but yea. Chrono-Trigger: time travel (to the future, then to the past, then present), the font. He uses a gun, guns have triggers.
if this has been already mentioned in full then ignore me and my babbling, but I just think its odd that http://sotm.wikidot.com/card-references lists OX's Megaman X reference in full and makes no hint of Chrono-Ranger's game reference... Especially because they were both released in the same expansion.
Character can have multiple references. Legacy has danger sense: spider-man but has a very strong superman feel.
I'm not saying Chrono ranger is only based off of Chrono Trigger, because first: what do I know and second: their are a million things wrong with that statment.
I just feel that this reference may have been overlooked and overshadowed.
Honestly, I don't know that one. I assume its a mr. Fixer/unity concept that plays into the unity promo card. W/o more concept other than my assumption it still kinda falls flat to me (basically, direct me to where I can read about this theory).
I don't have Ambuscade's deck yet (the mini expansions are on their way so I will have all but promos. So Yay, also got my preorder of wrath of the cosmos placed so I'm quite excited) but I think he'd be an interesting concept for con, if plausible.
bare with me here, as it's an idea spawned from a lack of his deck. Ambuscade hunts targets, sometimes for money. I'm sure he has an extensive list of targets he has gathered over the years. Also, he and haka do go back.
i dunno if this thought has already been mentioned before, but that's where my thoughts gravitate too when I think of a future Computer who sets up bounties in the past, a big game hunter/Hitman in the present that isn't above augmenting himself.
That's an interesting concept, but with a couple flaws.
One, Con's manner of speaking is much more like Unity than Ambuscade. Ambuscade is always so serious, and Unity is much more casual.
Also, Ambuscade is one of the bounties; Kill On Sight, actually. Why would he give Chrono-Ranger his own death sentence? Plus he calls him "a hunter like you, yes, but more Monster than Man."
Good point, forgot bout the bounty being ambuscade.
I knew con has a distinct manner of speaking. I was waiting on seeing how ambuscade talked before really trying to make the theory work, overlooked the obvious however.
