Probably in a day or two. I want to give everyone a chance to draft their first picks before we start the next round.

Sure. I don't see the harm in it, especially since it would be about a draft from this round.

Is the ability to shut off opponent's powers valid?

Scoobless
Originally posted by SpunkySmurph

Probably not ... I'm assuming that there's no teleporting of limbs or teleporting stuff into people for characters like Blink.

And what are the rules on BFR?

darthgoober
Sorry people, I have to run somewhere but I'll be back to address stuff as soon as I can.

leonidas
i've only a couple minor questions:

blink is 616 blink, right? not the one that can throw javelins and bfr opponents?

and havok. i believe trickster said something about him being an *cough* abstract . . . i HAVE seen the scans of him holding a black hole, or something, so i just want to be clear that he is within caps. i'd personally considered him but was hesitant to take him (mostly because of his recent showings) for fear of cap-breaking. erm

SpunkySmurph
Originally posted by Scoobless
Probably not ... Then I presume it would just be removed from Spiral's power set...?

Goober can give a verdict.

TricksterPriest
You want to ask Mr. Master about Havok. If it's a problem, just use classic.

teleporting limbs off is probably no good, but shutting off powers should be legal.

Scoobless

I don't think it should.

Dont know about Blink, and eh the whole abstract thing was just a "name" He was tied to all realties (reason he "died" and then ended up in the Mutant X unviserse) Either way I dont care as its not my pick, but his "power level" did not change erm You guys wanna ban him go for it though

ps: The black hole was Xorn's head, but all he was doing was feeding it energy. Still pretty impressive, but not him actually holding the black hole like say.....superman


.......So......this is it? Where's the contraversy? Where's the really iffy picks? damn sad

TricksterPriest
you can make a case for spiral's magic, but not anyone's else ability to interfere with or block powers.

Scoobless
Damn .... nowhere near enough controversy here ... Trick ... go take over the tourney for a minute so we can start arguing again.

stick out tongue Yeah... I think the biggest problem is that people have to be careful at defending their picks, if they want to keep anonymity

leonidas
if havok's power level didn't change, then that's fine by me.

I'm not sure about Cable ... even with the virus he's above Jean Grey's non-phoenix levels ... in fact he was considered to have more power than Xavier.

Last tourney the cap for TK was Justice ... Cable would be miles over that.

Martian_mind
No.....I'm sure Cable would be fine......

Mr. Sinister also has tp that's > Jean Grey

Martian_mind
good......Tricker picked Sinister,so lets ban him.

DigiMark007
Shouldn't there be a distinction like "Tony Stark - Mind/Tech" since some of the picks could fall into more than 1 category?

Or no?

Blair Wind
Its secret stick out tongue


Or something like that....we dont have to say what part we want to use them for....cept to tell Darth I guess

darthgoober

Depends on the circumstances. If you mean something similar to someone creating an EMP effect, which cancels out someone's suit of armor then yes it's ok. If you mean like someone shutting down a mutants X-gene, then probably not. I don't really mind it, as long as it doesn't attack the opponents powers at their source. So an External shut down would be ok, but to shut down their powers internally would be a no no. I think that made sense(if not let me know)....

Right.

Originally posted by Scoobless

Same as batdude's. It's cool so long as it doesn't involve teleportaion off the battlefield.

Originally posted by leonidas

I said no alternate versions, so I'm assuming he meant 616 Blink.

This is "Classic" Havok, so none of his uber stuff will be allowed.

I thought that the Virus severely impaired his tp and tk? I'll run it by a couple of people and get their opinions before I make a decision.

She can make huge ass constructs (as in bigger than mountains....MUCH). no expression

I mean I pretty much beat Pr with her powers in the herald level match ups.

Also, what about Sinister? His tp>>>>Jeans

Well if you have anything to suggest that she's over the caps just let me see and make a call on it. I'm unfamiliar with her, so I can't make an accurate judgement about her right now.

I think the construct rules pretty much keep her within the caps ... from what I know about her, we'll see what BW has stored away first.

Martian_mind
I think Sinister isn't that bad,i mean he's more the drive around in an ice cream van dressed as a clown so he can collect kiddies "DNA" kind of villian.

darthgoober
Sorry Blair, overlooked this part...
Originally posted by Blair Wind

If that's the case then yeah I'll have to bar him. I thought that his tp was on par with hers, I didn't know that it exceeded it. So if anyone wants to PM me some scans(or post them if you'd prefer) to show just how powerful his TP is, it would be greatly appreciated.

There are a few guys over jean in TP and the criteria was the tier list for the most part.

2md, Nightshade is probably over the cap if she was in a herald tourney.

3rd, Spiral is a pretty good mage and can shift dimensions. I think she's over the cap.

4. Does whoever have Cable for a powers pick get his TO virus, or just that level of power?

Nightshade wasn't in the Herald tourney, Black Alice was using her powers.

Cable wont have the TO in the tourney ... if whoever is using him wants his powers then he wont have his body = no TO Virus = "God-Like" Cable levels.

erm

Martian_mind
unless they used Cables "Body" they wouldn't get the techno virius.


The Caps restrict Nightshade like Scoob said so i'm cool with her


final point.You can pretty much guess who picked who.

Havok=Entity
Sinister=Tricker
Hawkman=King Kandy
Cable=shifty
Nightshade=Joey Stacks
Blink=Blair wind
Tony Stark=Nvr

and i don't know who else is in the tourney.

TricksterPriest
I can see Nightshade definitely going out......... blink

Btw, where was it said the TP limit was Jean Grey. Last I heard it was mid tier/ Iron-man Levelr.

from the sinister respect thread

Sinister psychically destroys Jean's memories on the psychic plane. Also, notice the size difference between him and the others, on the psychic plane
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g126/SpunkySmurph/Marvel/Scans/uxm243pg04cy0.jpg

Sinister destoys more memories and mentally inhibits Psylocke from using her powers
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g126/SpunkySmurph/Marvel/Scans/uxm243pg07ka7.jpg

Sinister pwns Psylocke on the astral/psychic plane. Psylocke says "he's just too strong"

So do it.

Here he is, inside Jean's head, destroying her memories:

Here he is, mentally trapping Psylocke in astral form:

Oh ****.........Which is why I asked. We're either sticking him at the level that he displayed with the t/o virus, or we're giving the body the TO virus.

I think the fact that Nightshade was ****ing up Superman jawdrop is enough to boot her out of this tournament.

And **** you martian. stick out tongue If I can't keep sinister, you're not keeping Cable.

Sinister is over the Caps,Cable isn't.I shouldn't pay just because you can't make a half-decent by the rule amalgam stick out tongue

What,you still lost Sinister,So i'm guessing he was far more crucial to your plan then Cable was to mine.Hell,i was gonna have a mad complicated scheme with him using magnets to warp his metal.

SpunkySmurph
So, essentially what Batdude's saying, is that

Superman >>> Martian Manhunter
Magneto >>> Cable
Batman >>> Jason Todd

Right?

shifty

Martian_mind
What people say and what people mean are two very different things Smurf.Batdude is a closet fan of them,but is too much of a psuuy to handle the stigma.So he goes with the more popular heroes.


Bandwagon fan.

DRAFT CHANGE!!!!!
So right now...

1.Yellowjacket (Hank Pym)
2.Hawkman
3.Havok
4.SPIRAL
5.Tony Stark
6.Cable w/ techno virus
7.Vision
8.Blink
9.Nightshade

...have all been chosen.

Throw Cable out, or I start scan-blitzing. He's gone to the astral plain, beaten an onslaught controlled Hulk, managed to briefly go toe to toe with a weakened Apoc.

I plan on having a talk with the person who picked him to find out exactly what's going on. If I misunderstood and he's using Cable in an acceptable way I'll ban him. I'll let you guys know a little later tonight.

Soljer
QUESTION!

Say you took Cable for your mind, and Deadpool for your body....

Wouldn't you then have god-like cable? As the only thing that made Cable god-like was the healing factor off-setting his virus and healing the strain put on his body via power usage?

Yes... but that would be power meshing, really. Your amalgamated character doesn't need to be Ironman-level, but your three individual ones do.

You can't have both his powers and his mind though.

Phasing was OKd (I think) ... and it's not like Vision has any decent offensive powers when phased.

Scoobless

Exactly ... but Cable is already over the caps to begin with.

TricksterPriest
And under Goober's rules, what you just said is not only possible, it's a viable strategy to win. Hence, Cable needs to go.

Martian_mind
But if you took Cable as just mind you'd already be God-like,and Cables telepathy is already in question.Wait,why am i arguing against my own character.....

Besides phasing his hand into them....Would phasing fall under mind or powers?as it is a mental act.

SpunkySmurph
Originally posted by Scoobless

Martian_mind
Vision should be banned.

TricksterPriest
If you can kick Sinister for TP, you're kicking Cable. He's shown himself to capable of altering his TO virus and making spikes, etc out of it. Not to mention tapping the astral plain for power. You get him w/o the TO virus, he's god-like cable if you get someone with a decent healing factor, or with DP as body, as Smurf said.

We've got most of the compediters saying he's over, and I'm about 5 mins away from scan-blitzing.

Other than posession, that actually sounds like a dumbed-down Iron Man. Is it really over the caps?

If you have Cable + Deadpool = Godlike Cable, it doesn't matter that you're over Ironman limit, since you're amalgamated character is allowed to be. It is only the base three characters that have to be individually under Ironman.

All powers are a mental act ... anything > Human is considered a power

If he has the TO virus, it's easily debateable. Not to mention, Soljer's scenario wouldn't work. You would need Cable for powers, and DP for body.

Cable is always at "God-Like" level ... he can choose to use that much power whenever he wants .. the TO doesn't reduce his power, it just occupies it.

He has the same power as Nate Grey and Nate Grey >>>> Iron Man.

Well, I think his feats are>>>Iron Man's imo.

Otherwise, if you are taking his powerset minus the body effect from the TO virus, then it is, in fact, God-like Cable. HENCE, OVER THE CAPS.

So Vision and Cable are out?

Anyone know anything about Spiral? She seems like a good pick, but that could just mean she's uber and no one noticed

All I said is that while phased he is pretty much immune to attacks

and that he recently pwned Ironman in Civil War stick out tongue

Oh and once again guys should we limit what a healing factor can do?

I'm gonna say not much of a thread.

On the other hand I got this from Wiki:

When Spiral was first introduced, she was a powerful sorceress and during her first two encounters with the X-Men, single-handedly defeated the team. She can cast spells to stun, depower, or immobilize her superhuman opponents, as she did to depower and imprison the Avengers and West Coast Avengers once they were still long enough for the spells to catch them. She has since been beaten by Longshot and other individuals.

Vision and Cable are out,it would seem.

I'm gonna say Spiral should probablt be out too.

Oh ok and what I meant was should we maybe limit just what a healing factor could do. Cause for some people their Healing factor seems to be greater in scope then any other power. I mean Deadpool is pretty much unkillable with his healing Factor so is Wolverine.

So maybe limit to say they can only heal minor wounds normally like they would but major injuries like say badly hurt organs would take like 5 minutes to fully heal or like the loss of a head still would kill them.

Or something like that so we don't get an unkillable person in the tourney.

If Spiral is capable of beating the Avengers and WestCoastAvengers at the same time wouldn't she be over the caps?

Well,Spirals out as well....

I don't actually know the circumstances of Spiral's team busting feats so we can't really ban her until someone brings up better evidence than a Wiki entry.

DigiMark007
Hey guys, as much as I know it's mostly in jest.....finding 1 showing, declaring the person banned without any sort of authorization or discussion, and monopolizing the thread with posts could collectively be considered spam.

Reign it in, and work on promoting discussion....not instigating witch-hunts for anyone you didn't pick....because crap like this insane paranoia every time we sneeze is what makes drafts come to a screeching halt and get people pissy about tourneys.

erm

Martian_mind
Well,Vision and Cable are already veiwed as over the Caps,and Spiral seems very close to it..
