Iron CAS

Tell us, what is Iron CAS, Pocky Yoshi?

It's simple as this vid:

This challenge will function just like Le_Bello's except you're allowed to make 1-3 CAS tops. The only differing factor is just like that vid, Pocky Yoshi reveals the "hidden ingredient" and you have to build around it. No exceptions.

I could care less if I reveal a ninja mask and you make a silly trollful creation with it or so. But do know you want peeps to be wowed by you and not the opposite if you want to win. This is a CAS contest based on: whose CAS will rock the item best?

I'll leave the judgement and arrangement to Le_Bello but Pocky Yoshi will chime in if he needs to. The awards are just titles like:

People's choice. Meaning anyone can vote but creators/competitors can't vote for themselves.
As for how the vote works? Sure 3 entries would make things complicated at first, but it's to show off the talent by presenting your skill and giving yourself a fighting chance. Just pick your favorite design(s) from the artist and cast your vote.
There won't be a Le_Bello or a Pocky Yoshi choice awards. Sorry. But, we'll vote like regular people ^^; Odd choice award. Pocky Yoshi choice award basically.

So do you all have what it takes to impress with CAS?


Today's hidden ingredient is:

If anyone has questions, feel free to ask here.

Edit: Duration is 7 days. You can have up to 3 CAS.

But since this is a first run, I'll be lenient and give it a week to see how this pans out. Starting from May 20th-May26th. On May 26th, the voting begins and ends at May 28th.


2nd edit: No DLC items or white knight and dark knight stuff will be used as hidden ingredient. Not everyone is able to have it.

3rd edit: You're allowed to utilize anything as long as the secret ingredient is there. Including DLC. If CAS piece of secret ingredient is covered up, take a pic of your CAS again showing the item.

4th edit: Odd choice awards added.

5th edit: New rule added just to ease problems like these again: If tied, you have a choice to go overtime in a thread I will make for overtime challenges

6th edit: A new rule. Every 8 challenges the 9th one becomes someone picks the secret ingredient.

Strange I see it now....

Leona, it's fine. As long as it has the CAS piece I want in there, anyone can make a fluffy cat head wearing the greaves or whatever. Pocky Yoshi is testing to see thine creativity with an item. So far Leona, you've set the bar.

Check blue text on first post.

Sorry, but you're not the one choosing. In the show Iron chef you're expected to make something out of that one unexpected ingredient.

Well, I'll think about it. Unlike the fairy idea thread, this thread has no theme. Therefore, you have to make up something out of scratch. Creativity and imagination is your friend. If I say "all", it kinda kills diversity. Because then if I say utilize all Leviathan, that's like me giving the whole theme and little to change it. If I just say one piece, I can expect peeps to mix and match anything as long as the piece is there.

It's like making do with Yoshi's limited stuff and making something out of it no matter the theme. I mean, I made a crab Yoshi, Gatsu made a demonic yoshi, Vilarcane made a mummy yoshi. In general, utilize thine creativity and imagination.

Because unlike dressing up Yoshi which is tedious, you only have to worry about that one piece and building around it. But since I saw Leona add her own flavor to it by building around the Changbao yet keeping the greaves I want on there, it's fine.

This is a test to see which person can take an item and make something out of it.

Anyways, check my first post for some "blue" text of importance.

This challenge may seem hard at first because you have no idea what item I pick, but that's how this thread works: Being ready for the unexpected

I understand what you meant, but then I felt too much "ingredients" can sometimes be a little overwhelming. So let's say I do Leviathan chest is revealed. I could care less if you put the whole armor. As long as the item I want is there, everything is a-okay.

I would do 2-3 items, but then I have to remember certain peeps aren't as creative as me or you. At first making something based on one item seems rather tough, but even someone simple as me can say Leviathan chest piece and just whip out crab Yoshimitsu as an entrant haha. So in general, anything can enter as long as the piece is there.


And boy do I sound like a broken record. Pardon my post.

While high class fashion is here and there, there is people who share the same sentiment as you. I happen to be one....
