It seems that there are posters who don't understand the rules or try to twist the rules in order to make things easier for the character they're debating for or against. Raoul and I have made every attempt to clarify things but there's a core of posters who still disregard rules and our posts. So let's just clear things up so the bias and trolling can be averted. I'll be using Superman and Silver Surfer as examples.
If nothing is stated for location, then the battlefield is an arena setting in a neutral universe.
Superman and Silver Surfer usually think of the safety of civilians and buildings first. Rarely do we see them go full on at the get go, due to their concerns. It's even been stated in comics. The VS Forum is an entirely different set up. No people, no buildings and the characters get general knowledge of their opponents. Superman and Silver Surfer wouldn't start a match with their strongest attack against Cyclops or Batman because they would kill them instantly. But it's plausible that they would go all out against each other since they have common knowledge and know it probably wouldn't result in an "insta-kill".
What I've explained isn't CIS......
.....It's a self imposed limitation in certain circumstances which there is concern for civilians and buildings for the most part. It's not stupidity, it's a limitation set until the threat exceeds a certain threshold.
To be clear, characters like Superman, Silver Surfer, Wonder Woman, Sentry, Captain Marvel (DC), Thor, etc. can and will use all their attributes when the situation allows or is needed. This is still within their personalities since we've seen instances several times. This doesn't mean it's strictly power sets. The feats have to be supported by comic showings.

From what I see in the reports there are still people who don't understand.
Joke's on you then. Last chance to stop your trolling and to abide by the rules.
Because.....
There, Thor's been added. All better Kris?

well with characters like thor, all though he has other options and powers it a key part of his personality to prefer brawling with mjolnir. While i would consider it cis that he will go most of the fight like that while using the other attacks occasionally others might say its pis that he would do still do that when he has other means to end the fight quicker.
Just trying to open up the discussion to cut down on people using the rules to manipulate a character one way or the other.
Kris is Norwegian....I have to sate the Norwegian lobby.
It does but they must stay within character unless something is noted in the thread, like her kids will die and a force bubble to the head was the only way to save them. Someone like Black Adam has no problem ripping people apart, literally.
Question, what about thread specific environments? If the OP says that the fight takes place in NYC are buildings and civilians to be taken into account?
