I am happy that you get so much out of Machete : I don't. Your absolute win is not mine. Mine is the old Death Race 2000 : that's a rip snorting tacky parade of ultra violence, satire, and skin that I adore.
Okay, guys...

I keep wanting to do something with Agatha Heterodyne on Junkyard Wars, but I can't think of a challenge thatwould present any real difficulty, nor a suitable opponent - and that's without even looking at who else to put on the teams. If she's got Gilgamesh and Tarvek with her, there's next to no expert who could be experty enough to add anything to the group, and it would take something like a Dr. Who, Samantha Carter, and Tony Stark team up to even have a chance at competing. Even then, what the heck could they be challenged to build? Moon rockets? The biggest irritant with this bunny is that it sits there in its chocolate shell wobbling now and then but refuses to actually hatch.

Signs you've been reading too many FSN crossover fanfics: My first reaction to the above post was "Agatha and -Gilgamesh-? That arrogant twat?"

We could always look at the other side of the swap. I'm pretty sure a Spark would qualify as a Caster for the Holy Grail War, and Gil's savvy enough with those electroswords to make Saber...

...and a Highly Trained Smoke Knight makes a heck of an Assassin (and her ability to steal weapons out of people's hands as they're about to swing because they lost track of her is even *more* awesome in this universe). Gil could also qualify as Rider pretty readily, and Agatha manages a decent Archer. What would Tarvek be?

Final Fantasy. There's a recurring Gilgamesh in it.
The line in italics is a quote from him in FF5- a game where one of your party members is a princess (if memory serves) masquerading as a (male) pirate.

Actually, I think trying to do the original Final Fantasy (four-person party of configurable classes) with the Fantastic Four as the Light Warriors could be a great read.
Edit: Looking at it, although the original game didn't do this, you could even map them fairly easily to the four elements. The Human Torch maps very obviously to Fire, The Thing is a nearly equally obvious fit for Earth, "flexibility" is one of the general attributes of Water, and "invisibility" correlates neatly enough to Air. (It now wouldn't surprise me if this had been intentional on the part of the original designers of those characters.)
Too many F/SN crossovers? Heh....
To the end of her days, Rin would maintain that the whole mess was entirely Ilya's fault. The whole thing started when Ilya browbeat her brother into mainlining her favorite anime du jour, featuring a loudmouthed orange-wearing "ninja" (whose personality bore some rather dangerous parallels to Shirou's in exactly the wrong places, in Rin's opinion). After a marathon of increasingly silly uses of the protagonist's "shadow clone" spell, Ilya had turned to her brother with an inquisitive expression. "Ne, Oniichan. Couldn't you do that? Trace copies of yourself?" "That only really works for me with swords, Ilya." "Yes, but, you're made of swords, right? So it should work!" Shirou's expression had gone from puzzlement to dawning wonder. Rin, seeing probably exactly the same mental image as Shirou, felt her own heart plummet in inverse response. But before she could think of a way to derail this dangerous train of thought, Shirou was upright, with the thousand-meter stare of a man undergoing a religious experience. And then he said The Words Which Heralded The End Of The World: "I could save everyone." Years later, after Shirou mastered his version of the Suicide Clone and Clones-Transforming-Into-Weapons techniques, Ilya would admit (privately) that Rin was right, and it really was her fault. But by then, the Clock Tower lay in ruins and the Pax Saggitarius was well on its way to establishing global domination.... Excerpted from Unlimited Shirou Works.
Is... is that a real fic? Because I'd kind of like to watch the train wreck...

But I've so many fics, write so slow Don't know much, 'bout Shirou Why'd you go and post such a tease? A tease! Dammit! It's not a fic! Got this bunny in my head Never should have read the thread Dammit, not another one! I've got too many projects any way! Oh, come on!
