battlefield for week 1--both pools same battlefield:
post-apocalyptic new york city--city is partially overgrown with wildlife and most of the city is in ruins. no life besides plant-life anywhere in the area.
prep area=unbreakable, opaque domes in what is left of central park. start 1km apart, 10secs prep.
Judges:
delph, galan, jake, jlking, bada, kfish, pr, eny, guy22, whitewitch, blanket, KM, bats, kandy
Well yeah, but you knew what I meant. But, in the spirit of getting things started:
I can't make sense of gundam's team, and Blair is still sitting with one pick. I considered Judomaster myself but didn't want to use a pick for just her one power, though it's obviously a very useful one. But I figured she would be selected.
Charlotte's "M" could be the best single pick in the drafts, but I'm not a huge fan of what she surrounded M with. And I like your team. Solid, not terribly flashy, but Wolverine is the f-ing man. I considered him heavily too.
I don't want to say who I expected to get drafted that didn't, because I don't want to give Blair ideas. But with only 6 competitors, there's going to be plenty of talent that goes undrafted.
I'm obviously pleased with my own team, my only regret is that I had to choose between the 3 I have and the 1 other I was seriously considering. I honestly hadn't decided which 3 of the 4 I'd be drafting until moments before my round 1 draft.
Digi- Currently has the best odds for his pool, imo. The Capt. Boomerang pick came out from left field, but the other two were strong picks that I would have considered myself, with a versatile skills, powers and equipment list that are all at the top of the tier, and that all pose significant problems for many low meta teams.
Blair- Draft already plz. Although Judomaster in and of herself is solid, and already provides a decent defense to Digi.
Pee Gee- I want to see what the combination is that he's trying to pull off in his 10 seconds of prep. I feel like each of his drafts are strong prep characters, but the idea of putting them together in a run-and-gun set up like this is perplexing.
Digi
Pee Gee
Not ranking B-Dub since he has a third of a team...
Aye, I want to see what PG is thinking too. I hope he and Blair fight first, so that I can figure things out while they duke it out.
The group opposite me has all 3 people with tourney experience (Omega slightly less than the other two). Charcoal and Cage seem kinda one-dimensional to me, so I'm not the hugest fan. But I also like the others on their team (particularly M and Mr. Terrific, even sans prep), so it's kind of a wash. Smurph's a good debator with a solid team. I think that the group is his to lose at the moment, pending some strategy/tandem from the others that I'm not seeing, which is certainly possible.
Battles change everyone's opinion, so this is clearly very speculative, but at the moment:
Smurph
Charlotte
Omega
Blair's picks mesh better mentally for me than do Digi's or Pee Gee's, and Victor was a pretty nifty pick, given his opponent's power sets and equipment. I think I give him the best odds in the pool right now... I think... also, I like Noh Varr as a pick, because he's awesome. Maybe I'm a little biased.
this is an interesting tourney and I'm terribly puzzled at some of the picks...
smurph got logan and cyclops??!! one guy who is basically unkillable even by heralds and another who can clear the battle field in one thought....wow talk about firepower. (maybe I missed some rules that would neuter his team though)
and then someone picks punisher?!! I'm very curious as to how punisher will perform....he seems out of his league in a tourney but thats why I would be interested.
Cage is your typical "brick for amalgam", Charcoal is a little better (at least he has more uses and is not a grounded sitting duck).
Smurph's team is perfect for shooting said sitting ducks down (depending on whether it's one-man pwner of amalgam or tag squad) Enough to give him good odds over Omega in the first opening match
Noh was actually someone I nearly picked. Knowing that I really could've stymied Blair between him and Moon Knight makes me want to go back and pick him...not because I think I'd have a better team, but because of the hilarity.
Smurph's nuts may need a towel after your treatment. Chill for a bit and wait for battles. 90% of what people think going into battles is changed after the first round.
Just that you need to keep a sense of perspective. You're acting like I'm debating you. One can make predictions without your needless, if amusing, verbal theatrics.
