General Comments:
Following the trend of Evangel's tourney, ScarletSpider set up his own, and it continued to generate interest in tournaments.

Champion Comments (from Scoobless):

This takes me back to my first week as a member of KMC, in fact my first match was exactly 7 days after I joined. I had never been on a comic forum before let alone played any tournaments, so I had no idea what I was doing (as you can see if you click on the Crazyspinz vs. Scoobless link above)

This tourney was shortly after the events of Graviton's appearance in Thunderbolts (#56 or so) where he owns pretty much everyone. I used that appearance for all it was worth during the tourney. The reason I drafted him in the Superman level draft was because he could affect the entire battlefield at any time, simply by increasing the gravity I could take out everyone at a lower power level ... and by reducing the Gravity I incapacitated Doomsday without having to engage him.

The main reason for selecting graviton was to eject everyone into space ... I found out what "No BFR" meant during my first match ... dammit -

Overall not the best tourney format (as 4 of your 7 characters are almost useless) but it was still fun.

General Comments:
This tournament, to me, was loads of fun. It took forever to finish, because Evangel had computer troubles midway through and Nataku had to take over. But some cool things took place. Nataku and stormfront had a 20+ page epic battle that ranged from intelligent debate to outright flaming/bashing. Scoobless and DigiMark had a battle of hilarious names as "General Kinky" faced off against "Flash Thordon". And amalgams became the fad following this tourney. It was also the tournament that was largely responsible for getting me the notoriety I needed to become a Mod (which happened in the middle of my match with Scoob).

Khell and long pig utilized individual characters well (Majestic and Dr. Strange, respectively) but it was Flash Thordon's well-rounded power that eventually won the day.

Champion Comments (from Scoobless):
My second tourney on KMC, better format, harder matches, tougher debaters ... frankly I was a little surprised to win this one, not that I didn't have a kick ass amalgam (It's Flash Thordon FFS) but because everyone else also had tough characters. Long Pig maybe should have won but he seriously underused his creation (Dr Strange, Absorbing Man, Barry Allen I think) He fell back on only Strange's power almost completely ignoring the abilities of the others.

Digi thinks 50% of my win came from my name choice ... maybe it did ... The other 50% probably came from my unashamed posting of my Thordon picture in every possible thread where I could get away with it ... you have to admit that it's pretty freakin' sweet for MS paint with zero experience at photo editing.



{Digi's editor's note: maybe not 50%, since it was a legitimately powerful amalgam, but it sure as hell didn't hurt}

General Comments:
Dizzle did main duty for this one, with help from SS. I want to say this is the first tourney where we started using pre-set judges, but I'm not sure. I think maybe it started about midway through this tournament, and became the standard for tourneys.

Blair and long pig found that duplication would be effective for this tourney, and they squared off in a bizarre first round match that led to a few new restrictions. But Blair carried that momentum to a tourney win, upsetting all sorts of tourney vets (long pig, Khell, Scoob) on his way to becoming a feared name himself.

Champion Comments (from Blair Wind):
What can I say about my first win in a tournament, which also happened to be my first tournament ever?! Well, it was a challenging experience, that much is for sure. I faced some of the best debaters here and won. It was an extreme surprise for me. I started off by facing long pig, and thought right away I would lose. However, I didn't and soon moved on to what I still think was my hardest battle: Illadelph. Now if you ever feel like reading the fight, Illadelph was owning me until the very end. Its the truth, and what I like most about it was that we ended up being friends after it all. In fact he helped me behind the scenes with all my other matches, including the first one. To this day we still help each other out when it comes to tactics and such. One small side note, that I will always remember, is that my grandfather died during this match. Moving on to the next fight, I found my one true KMC rival. I tried being nice, but the guy is...well lets just say me and him don't exactly get along all to well. I went up against Khellendros. I won, 'nuff said. I then went on to face the multi winning tournament champion: Scoobless. Now to understand how I won, let me explain. For the other few matches I was running extremely low on scans. I had maybe two or three courtesy of xmarksthespot and King Mungi. I then found a treasure trove of scans in Leonidas. So I was tactically being given help by Kahn and Illadelph, and being given scans by Leo, Mungi and X. I then went on bravely to face the tournament king, and came out on top. I had won, and it was the biggest shock I have ever had on KMC. Thank you everyone who helped and voted, and thanks to the hosts who made it happen.

Little things I found funny:
-Digimark ALWAYS voted against me
-My name on the thread was ALWAYS second
-I had no idea who Crystal was until Xmarks told me, "Just pick her!"
-I had originally thought Wendigo would be my greatest asset, later on figured out that Duplicate Boy was the best pick I had ever made!
-I got my nickname, B-Dub, from this tournament because I picked Duplicate Boy. Illadelph started it, and now everyone uses it.

General Comments:
It was a slow-moving tourney, but methodical and thorough. The under-Thanos limit gave participants more room to play around with, and guys like Surfer, Thor, and Quasar went from being the best picks (in the past herald tourneys) to merely normal picks, as team-wreckers like Mangog, Despero, and The Keeper found their way into the mix.

Power copying, with characters such as Black Alice, Super Adaptoid, and Space Phantom, also became a popular (and powerful) trend for the tournament.

Champion Comments (from DC/BW):
Blair Wind:
So what can I say about my newest tournament win? I can start of by saying I am very glad I got the partner I got in DarkCrawler. What I brought in creative ideas, he matched with mathematical numbers and scans. I was the abstract to his logic, the yin to his yang. Ok, so maybe it was not that extreme, but I think we made a very effective team. We both knew how to think outside the box, and still consider the logic behind what we were doing. We applied tactics and strategies that seemed to defy the imagination, and I think it served us well. We went on to our first match, and were sorely disappointed when the opposing team made no effort in the least to oppose us. We moved on to the team composed of Pr/Rewmac. We tried a very unique and interesting tactic against their team, and we won. We then went on to the finals to face Digimark/Scoobless. Now you have to understand, this final was composed of some of the greatest tournament combatants, having one tournament winning vet and one experienced contender on both sides. Scoobs and I had both won a tournament before, and both DarkCrawler and Digimark had participated in tournaments before. It was a slobber-knocker to be sure, and the judging had me on the end of my seat. It was a thrilling ride, and I am glad I had DC at my side

Little things I found funny
-Everyone thought we were the most powerful team, when I was thinking that Darth/Bran had the most dangerous team.
-Our names ALWAYS came first in the thread
-I got to beat Scoobs...again
-DC and I had so many more buffs it was not funny, we just could not fit them all in.
-Illadelph helped us out, all the while complaining that he should have won the last tournament we were in (in the match against me he lost)
-This quote made my day (I will keep them anonymous, but they were through PM's)
"On review, I can't find enough faults to help you.....Sorry to tell you this, but you're too damned good"

General Comments:
Having survived a failed attempt at a high meta/low herald tourney that involved 4-man teams, darthgoober lowered the character limits some and made a traditional amalgam tourney. As with other tourneys, the veterans showed up in force and had good showings. Scoobless claimed an unprecedented 4th tourney title, and Blair Wind added to his impressive tournament resume. Leonidas, another former tourney champion, made it to the semi-finals in only his second tournament ever.

The defining strategy for this tournament was Scoobless' "Godzilla" approach, simply making Sasquatch so big with Pym's powers that it was nigh-impossible for the other participants to hurt him. If nothing else, it proved to be an interesting visual for the battle.

Champion Comments:

"The Godzilla Plan"

I had a lot of fun with this tourney, I honestly wasn't taking it seriously at first, I wasn't thinking of clever ways to win or what tech I could use, the intention was to keep it simple. I figured the easiest way to amplify a character's physical strength was to use a grower (Hank Pym in this case) if his power can turn a regular man into a class 50+ then it should make an already powerful character practically invincible at this level. A later realisation, that I could use Moonstone's control of her own gravity to access heights Pym could never reach alone due to pressure on his body from his own weight, meant that I could take my finals match one step farther.

lol, I had Bigfoot (named by Digimark btw) destroy 3 of the 4 battlefields he fought on -

Grand Canyon - Destroyed
Death Star - Destroyed
Earth - Destroyed

The only reason the arctic battlefield survived was because I opted to use Pym's shrinking powers for the majority of that match.

Overwhelming offensive power + untouchable defense = tourney win



An amusing fact, this was the second "Iron Man Level" tournament, and both times Iron Man has failed to take a win (last time by me in a final match against BW, this time by BW in a final match against me)

The lesson - Don't select the character that embodies the power cap for the tourney ... you'll only lose.


Oh yeah, another great thing about this tourney was that I got to post pics like these to give people an idea how the matches might go:
