Instead of having a multitude of threads asking what system would be best for playing in such and such show, videogame, etc... why not just have a general thread where its all centralized?
I'll start, what's the best system for WWI campaigns?

I've always been on the lookout for a system where combat is essentially characters using a list of known techniques, similar to DnD 4e or Strike!. However, as you level up, you can choose to upgrade your combat maneuvers for additional effects or more damage or opt to learn new maneuvers. Something like
Power Attack rank E
Cleave rank C
Feinting Attack rank B
Quick Attack rank A
Super Duper Special Attack rank B
Theme wise it'd be some flavor of fantasy but I'm not picky. If anyone passing through the thread happens to know of something like this I'd love to hear about it
That's an interesting idea, I don't know of any system that really does it, GURPS could replicate something like it, but it would less be a part of choosing upgrading powers or buying new powers, and more just using points to have a solar effect.
for starters, i love the idea of a "What system general" this should become a thing.
Second off, what would you suggest for a game run in pic related? players being infected of course.

user, the point of those threads is to talk about unrelated subjects on Veeky Forums. No one who makes those threads ever actually plans on running a game in that setting.

Fuck what do I do for Fate/stay Night?
Star Wars d6 seems like an unexpectedly good choice, with easy as fuck dicepool system and force mechanic for magecraft. But surely, there are better choices than that, right?
FATE :^)
yeah, GURPS
...
Refluffed Exalted.
MiniSix or OpenSix Adventure. Here's the former, the latter can be got for free online.
This has a lot of what I'm looking for in a system, I was also looking for something that could run RWBY that wasn't GURPS or savage worlds but this fits the bill.
Doublecross. It's a japanese take on a superhero game and is pretty much exactly Prototype.
there's already a TypeMoon system.
How do I run a battle shounen-esque game that doesn't devolve into autism?
While that usually resides with the group and less the system, Mutants and Masterminds might be a way to represent powerlevels in characters, or if you're going the fantasy route 4e D&D I actually really like, the monsters do need their damage doubled and their health halved (save for monsters in the monster vault) most of the time to speed along combat however.
Yes and It's fucking horrible
Warhammer 40k, Only War is perfect for WWI stuff. Even if you take out all the daemons and sci-fi bullshit.
Exalted
GURPs would work for both, but since it is the most general of systems, it barely needs to be mentioned.
Best system for dungeons and dragons?
Gritty high death count: 2e ad&d
Big damn heroes: 4e or 5e
All Flesh Must Be Eaten
Are there any good systems for running a modern campaign besides d20 modern and shadowrun?
GURPS
AFMBE is my favorite for modern, simple and relatively mundane without zombies.
