Yeah, a few...I guess...I'm mostly bored with dio stories because they seem to be the same old stuff over and over. Until today I hadn't given Tim' Francovich's site a look in many months. I got tired of dead-serious and/or "continuing where the comic book left-off" storylines. Heck, I even got tired of the more creative "from the beginning" approach that I guess started with WARFARE, where fans do a RELOADED style story.

Back to big battles, I like chaosdjinn's battle dio...which wasn't a story...but doesn't every picture tell a story?





I can't recall any bad ones, except maybe distracting in setting...obvious living room or basement...but setting a lot of stuff up outside is time consuming, plus the elements are a hazard.



Stupid cool! Actually, I couldn't think of any reason to call them stupid.



I'm all for free-for-all melees...too many deathmatch games.



Lots of characters in action...the standard response. ;)



Dio story battles, big or small, like many in movies, t.v. comics, etc., are too often one-sided. The Joes own the Cobras or whatever. Also, vehicles are used somewhat statically. Air cover seems non-existent...but air cover is hard to pull of.



I don't...other than recreating cartoon scenes and comic book moments. (which oddly, no one seems to do.)

Storywise...I wouldn't mind seeing...

Serpentor win....seriously...fans treat this amalgam of history's greatest military minds as a whipping boy. While visually quite impressive, I'm not even sure what the point of Resurrection was storywise, bring him back then off 'em in a similar manner to the first time. Likewise, Devil's Due went and did something similar to that. Basically since Cobra Commander cannot win against GI JOE, his only victories can be defeating would-be-usurpers.

Next up, Destro lose. Destro is made the good-bad guy and often comes out a winner. Noble types often get their butts handed to them in real life. I think Destro lost once in the comic, when his castle was destroyed.

So I guess a dio where Serpentor kicks Destro's @$$ in a big battle. I don't have enough space or IG's (or editing software or talent) to do that myself.

I'm not sure what Sonnelion is referring to as being bad. I recall one of his story having BATS attack and it was cool because greenshirts got wasted. Was that the battle?

That actually sounds like a really good idea for a story, Lava Boss! Destro vs. Serpentor would be very cool. I don't recall the two of them ever fighting each other in anything before...

Oh, and I agree with you about people bringing Serpentor back for no reason. He may be outlandish, but he's a pretty cool character. I'd love to see someone do more with him.
