Tourney: Bonus Round!! · Battlezone

I think we're learning a valuable lesson here...it's not always who's the best, but who sounds the best.

Maybe Mauler would whup Godlike, I'm not 100% sure one way or the other...but my own opinion differs (hence my vote earlier). Similar to the "cool name" theory, is this one where the person who can 'talk up their guy' the best has the advantage. I made a living in the last tourney off of making General Kinky seem like the strongest in the tourney by far. He wasn't that much stronger, but by mentioning it way too often, and repeatedly stating it in a dramatic manner, I made it seem like I was far and away the strongest charatcer. Only Khell came close to arguing that his guy was near me in strength (unfortunately, it was speed that did me in).

Grey fox's reaction to newjak's statements is an example of this. There's a lot of truth to newjak's arguments, and I'm not saying that he's wrong, but he also made Mauler sound like the only badass in the fight...a useful skill indeed.

Well played, all around...I just wish we had some more votes...

I must vote for Godlike...he is only slightly below the omnipotence of Shocktopus.

I think the only thing you did wrong in the last tourney was giving numbers... You said "class 1 million" a few too many times, though Kinky was probably well beyond that. Khell went with some of Majestic's strength feats which he simply described as "well above a million tons".

There's so much psychology involved here, my mind just exploded.

And Rainbow Bright is the one true badass. Anywhere, not just this fight. Wanna fight Shocktopus? Right, you lack the will of the warrior, so I win before we even strike the first blows. Rematch? I win again!

FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, no. He doesn't "have us cooked."
He paint's an impressive picture of Mauler, and it's all true as far as it goes. The fact remains though that even meshing Slade + an Elder Predator would only possably put him close to even skill footing with [b]just one of my guys. Against GODLIKE as a whole, he's totally outclassed.
He cant get the drop on me due to my precognition, nor hide from me due to my claravoyance. At range I can absorb his attacks and save them up to mega-blast him back with the sword while returning fire with my Radium Laser. Up close, I'm a better fighter even before you factor in my 2-3x advantage in both strength and speed. Any way you cut it, Mauler's still comes up short [/B]

How can you say my guy can not even keep up with any of your guys. DS has taken on the JLA not do to his strength but do to his ability to plan ahead and come up with tactics on the spot. An Elder Pred in no way is below any of your guys. These guys make Wolverine's and Batman's skills combined(Not the BS comic versions of course the normal ones) look like rookies with ease. They are as Bad a creature as I painted they take on Queens bare handed they are almost unstoppable with their weapons.
You may have the ability to see my attacks but I was commenting more on other people you on the other hand Mauler will show you special attention.
You may have the strength advantage and speed advantage in terms of distance you can travel but my guy has you where it counts.
I think and know my guy is much more skilled than yours do to my combo. Plus I am wearing an armor you can not crack because it is Uber on top of Uber. So I can afford to be wrong once you can't.
Your shield can can aborb energy then I will go after it with gernades and other various nasty items I have that can't be aborbed. Like my spear net and smart disk.
Your strength and speed advantage now. DS is far faster in reaction time as he could tag the Flash and Kid Flash so your speed will look like an average person to me and I wll get the first three strikes in before you can even blink. Strength I am no slouch you may have me but the fact is DS has gone against people stronger than him way stronger more so than you are to me now and did fairly well if I recall.
So this is how it will go you attack me but I have to many adavntages over you. Healing factor not as good Wolverine's but better than anything you got. Better fighter(DS+Elder Pred=unbeatable combat ability) plus you have your sword which can't cut me while I have three Uber Weapons at any time. DS's Sword the Pred wrist Blase and the other Wrist Blade I put on my tail. So those first three strikes I will get in before you can counter will be all it takes to end this fight.
Then Mauler picks up your severed head and and it becomes another trophy.

With all due respect, Newjack, you don't know what your talking about with regaurds to my characters. Go back and read the materials I posted in Battle Three. Benedict ALONE could handle Deathstroke.

Since it hasn't gotten through, imagine if Deathstroke spent several thousand years fughting and winning against every concievable foe under every possable circumstance. Only then would he be in Benedict's league. DS's enhancements would allow to hang with an "average" Prince of Amber in terms or reaction time, strength, and intellect; but Benedict is beyond even his own kind.

DS can overcome others advantages in speed and strength by being a smarter, faster reacting, more skilled fighter. Against an even better fighter in terms of everything he's good at, he wouldn't be able to overcome those advantages.

Benedict with Dreadstar's equipment and no other amalgamation could take out Mauler, though with some difficulty.

GODLIKE is walking all over him.

I don't know why you think Vanth's sword can't cut you, it's "lightsaber class" and it's blasts can punch holes in starships (again, there're scans for all this in Battle Three). Even if it couldn't I could rip you limb from limb with my bare hands

Just because you can't imagine someone being better than your characters doesn't mean that no authors have.

Gotcha.

Anyway, this will be closed tonight...the Word file with the character info on it is at my home cpu, and I'm at a different one right now...so I can't start the semis until then. As I write this, you've got maybe 4 more hours.

Slade beat a small group of JLAers, with a good amount of prep time and a WHOLE lot of PIS on his side. Stabbing Flash, though it was put into a slightly more feasible situation, is still pretty sketchy. It's definitely more a of a low point for Flash than a huge accomplishment for DS. And while he did take out both a GL and Zatanna... Zatanna got hit before she could react, which doesn't say much against someone with normal human durability and speed. Kyle tried to punch Slade. One blast is all it would take, but he goes for the punch. (that+Flash is the bulk of the PIS, btw)

The entire thing's a good example of how good his prep work is, but here, he isn't allowed to touch the battlefield before the fight starts. In terms of raw skill, Azrael and Batman both have good showings against him.

Preds are really good, but yours can't take on Queens barehanded. ONE of them did that: Broken Tusk. And Nataku already has him. Preds are skilled, but even an Elder looks like an infant when compared to Benedict's massive amounts of experience.

So GODLIKE's... faster, stronger, more skilled, has precog, has better energy blasts, better body covering durability, because your armor leaves several spots open... and uber metal armors aren't allowed anyways. So you have... chainmail protecting you from a sword or energy blast in the side. And that still doesn't help you against a Hulk-style leap-on-you-and-cut-you-in-half maneuver. I believe your edges go to: Has a tail. And that's pretty much it.

Match Closed. Dizzle and Lam are tied, but Dizzle has stated that he would forfeit willingly to Laminator. Therefore, Laminator wins, and will face off against the losers of the current matches for 3rd-through-5th place. Congrats and good luck!

Scoobless sselboocS

back to original characters and power levels i take it?..... y'know.... for Jinzin's sake

😈

Dizzle KMC Authority!!!

I wouldn't think so. That's why the winner only gets a shot at a maximum of 3rd place, as opposed to a renewed spot in the tourney. So yeah, the consolation round is gonna be GODLIKE, that fanboyed-up whipping boy Shocktopus, and either Scoob or Jinzin. 🙂

Though the round is over.... FEAR!!!

Your not getting it I'm not using DS's experience except to let you know that Your small advantages in Speed and Strength which aren't that big when you put them next to the JLA.
The big thing is the Pred exprience which is from all over the universe not just Earth is close to a thousand years and all they do is hunt and go up against the biggest and baddest creatures around.
Your not getting it Benedict is basically a genius you spent thousands of years fighting Earth bound battle scenarios. DS's enhancements make him very dangerous because unless these prince of Ambers can run at Flash Speeds either big one or kid one then you can't handle my reaction time.
Vanth's sword can't cut me because I'm covered in Uber Metal from head to toe. The PRed Armor is Uber and the Chainmailk is Uber(I like that word alot) so you can't cut me and I will get three attacks to your one and possibly more.
Rip me apart with your bare hands yeah right. I would cut you to pieces before you even laid a hand on me.
Oh wait the this battle is over isn't it 😮

I read this today and 😂 'd all over again. This was my favorite match ever. There's so much sh*t here that would never fly in a tourney today.
