Let the tourney begin!
If you wish to vote, please state who you are voting for in this thread and possibly provide a (very) brief explanation why. Please also wait until a fair amount of debating has taken place. The fight will remain up for roughly a week.
Voting eligibility date: Must be a member as of July 31. Anyone who joined after that date will not be counted. I reserve final judgement on all voting.
First match: Scoobless vs. jplatinum
One quick Note...I want this match to be fair. If you're a JP fanboy (you know who you are) please refrain from voting in the match. I want it to be about amalgams and debating, not popularity and real-world punching speed.
Equipment: Lightsabers (4), Kull armor, wrist cannons (2), web shooters (2), impact webbing, paralysis stingers
Character Notes: The Kull armor only covers 2 of Grievous' arms. The wrist cannons fire mid-level bursts of energy, capable of searing flesh and causing moderate concussive damage. The stingers can pierce normal skin but will not penetrate most types of armor. They cause the body to become significantly paralyzed, but the affect can be countered efficiently by most healing factors.
Kull armor: The armor negates nearly all energy attacks, and severly dulls high-level energy attacks. It can be pierced by anything harder/sharper than hard forms of metal, but resists regular bullets. Repeated concussive force (punches, grenades, etc.) can and will jar the wearer significantly.
Lightsabers: Can cut through flesh fairly easily and light types of armor and/or weaponry. However, nigh-indestructible materials such as adamantium, promethium, vibranium, or similarly tough substances will stop a lightsaber, and most armor and metal will slow the blades but not completely stop them (titanium, most types of armor, etc.)
Spidey’s reaction: Easily dodge attacks from untrained opponents, and can dodge bullets/arrows/well trained opponents a modest amount of the time. Innate ‘warning’ system will also allow him to deflect or partially avoid blows or projectiles a modest amount of the time, thus incurring less-than-total damage from the blow/projectile
Character Notes: Kenshin can run many times faster than an average human, though the exact speed is not known. The blade has been known to cut through multiple (thick) tree trunks in one swipe. The glider and rocket-boots have been removed from the batsuit (no flight) but all other upgrades apply. Suit is bullet-proof and protects against a moderate amount of laser fire and a considerable amount of electrical damage. It increases the wearer’s strength roughly 10x.
JP failed to name his amalgam. Therefore, I shall name it Kirbilactus!
Questions/comments in other thread. Let's not bog down the fight with excess talking.
Scarlet Cyborg immediately jumps backwards while starting a rapid fire barrage from both wrist cannons and spraying webbing... one tag is all that's needed to slow/stop Kirbi's movements enough for a follow up plasma blast or impact webbing strike.... either will incapacitate for at least long enough for multiple plasma strikes.... and a lightsaber blitz finishes it
Battle Location: Fight takes place in the streets of Moscow. It is winter, and the time is midnight. Snow drifts gently to the ground and occasionally a Russian citizen walks nearby. Combatants start on opposite sides of a large building, not aware of where the other is but knowing that they are in a fight.
Oh, crap, forgot about this too....
Prep time: 15 minutes of prep in a neutral environment (we'll make it a nondescript room for this fight). At the end of the prep combatants are teleported to the fight's location and the battle begins immediately.
Powers/Abilities: The General is a highly advanced cyborg of alien design, His ultra tough Alloy structure is backed up with the extremely formidable Kull Warrior armour, which covers the entirety of his frame (with the exception of his 2 lower arms) making him all but invincible to energy based attacks and grants him a much higher level of protection against concussive force than he has without it (though his Cyborg form can withstand much more physical force than a regular human, or Kaleesh, even without the armour)
His cyborg body grants him considerable physical strength enabling him to lift up to 8 tons
The general does not tire, does not weaken through sustained physical exertion and will not stop until his opponents are dead
He is also possessed of a sixth sense which warns him of danger moments before it occurs, his highly enhanced speed and agility makes avoiding these dangers a simple feat
The General carries a variety of offensive and defensive weaponry:
4 Lightsabers: (the weapons of the Galactically renowned Jedi) capable of cutting through virtually any material in the universe
2 Rapid Fire Plasma Cannons: worn on the wrists of the Kull armoured appendages, these plasma weapons will kill an unprotected body on impact and will burn through most standard body armour with extreme ease, denser armour (thick steel, Titanium, etc) will become superheated by these plasma blasts causing high levels of discomfort for the wearer... repeated shots will melt through even the toughest titanium...... (they cannot burn through super-metals such as adamantium)
2 Webshooters: worn on the wrists, these projectile a high tensile polymer capable of withstanding tremendous amounts of force, a very good way to incapacitate almost any opponent,
the webshooters also fire "Impact Webbing" similar to the standard webbing in strength, but fired as small round projectiles that expand and engulf the target upon impact, enabling for much easier incapacitation
lastly, the Webshooters also fire small darts called "Stingers" the function of these stingers is to paralyse the victim, one or two darts will cause instant paralysis in any being without a so called "healing factor" but will slow the reactions of those individuals considerably for a short period (these darts will easily pierce flesh, but will not penetrate body armour)
The Generals unusual form makes it very difficult for opponents to fight him as his movements are unhindered by human limitations, he has four arms which can extend in any direction form his torso, even spin around the torso in constant circular motion, his wrist joints are constructed in a way as to allow the "hands" full rotation, again, they are able to spin in constant motion allowing for propeller like attacks with his lightsabers
The General can even wield his lightsabers with his "feet" and has done so in battle against numerous Jedi Masters
The generals "fingers" and "toes" are sharpened to claw like points, allowing him to pierce through metals, he has used this numerous times for climbing ... as well as for killing
The General is a master strategist and considered to be one of the most feared beings in the universe from both behind the scenes and on the front lines
No real resistance from JP as of yet. I think his character's name should simply be JP, as downgrading his amalgam to the name of a lesser omniversal power might anger the real JP... None of us want that.

i then feed that dog food to the dogs, cut up the dogs and sell them as cat food..... feed them to the cats, chop up those cats and sell them to a chinese takeaway
C'mon JP... where are you??? I don't want to face Scoob after I crush Dizzle... Well, I'm gonna vote for Scoob for now unless Jp comes in later today and convinces me otherwise.
Cripes. I wasn't planning on voting this soon but this is just a complete mismatch. Kenshin could maybe stalemate two or three arms wielding light sabers, but then you have stingers or plasma blasters blasting away. Unless Liu Kang is just leagues better than I think he is, JP is getting owned. I vote Scoob with the option to change if JP manages to make some dazzling argument in his favor.
Cmon guys, let's hear what JPlatinum has to say. I've never gotten to hear any of his legendary smack-talk-fu, and I'd like to be impressed. I think Scarlet Cyborg has a power edge, but in this sort of tourney smart fighting should count for a lot.
