Oh. Hell. Yeah, they did. I didn't see that the matches had been unpinned, so when I didn't see any pinned threads with new responses, it looked like nothing had been posted. My bad.
An honest mistake isn't shooting from the hip. And I was nothing but respectful and sincere in my suggestion. Misinformed isn't equivalent to antagonistic.
Remember what I said about trying not to find the negative in everyone's posts, or turning them into something they're not? You need to continue to work on it.
Dropping Classic Cable (25 points)
For
Current Cable (20 points)
I hope I do not find any problems with this re-draft. The reason for its 20 points, is because currently Cable has no functioning TK/TP. And because this is the current Cable, I assume I can now make use of his entire history, and not be isolated to feat based on era unless its based on power. This means I get to use its last known base with its equipment “Providence”.
Dropping Midnighter (20 points)
For
Gambit (20 points)

Wait. Drafting a 5-points-lower Cable lets you use his entire history? Without TP/TK, I assume this means that you can't use his full feat history. Just anything else, since it's current.
Just want to get that cleared up. Seems like you want him more for a base than anything, so meh.
Also, damn I wish I could face fangirl again. Firestar and Vision...such fun counters. But alas.
Cable and Gambit both were depowered to being 20pointers for one simple reason, which Id may or may not have remedy for. I'd also have added AoA Emma Frost (5 pts worth) to that list.
Yup I want to make use of Cable’s entire history and his last known prep area. Yet the current one lacks TP/TK, he certainly isn’t worth 25 points.
Your sleeping on Cable and his scientific intellect, that’s futuristic tech from 2,000 years into the future of Shiar/Celestial origin (the comics mentions both from time to time).
Plus I spy with my eye, a vary interesting piece of hardware I wish to acquire. I will just leave it at that.

It was. But we can retain our personal objections.
But heck, she's beatable. Maybe cheaper than she should be, but 5 pts. one way or another generally doesn't make or break teams. For what it's worth, I think 25 is a lot to pay for Firestar (though it's probably the most fair place for her).
Yeah. I figured she would be around Speedball level as his feats actually are better than hers for the most part. But I didn't want to seem greedy. I went to the tier thread and was surprised she wasn't on there.
Speedy should be 25, easily. And that's a fact. But we set the precedent at 20, and I didn't know enough then to object, so whatever. But I have no problems with your team as a whole.
After this tourney, I believe it would be prudent to go over the meta level tiers and do some tweeking and adding. I really think Iron Man is low level Herald. but that is just me.
He's actually been talked about several times in the tiers thread, and been shot down each time (though not without people on both sides). That's one of the few that we actually don't need to revisit. But yeah, a few others can and should be moved. Speedy among them.
