Team Tournament Information and Discussion Thread

EDIT: see above.

right here for this page (PLUS commentary)

From Darkcrawler:

So, now that teams are complete, I did a little writeup what I think of them. 😄

The Uniqueness Rating tells how interesting the teams are to me. It doesn't tell anything about overall formitability.

1. Newjak/Blair Wind
G.L. Kyle Rayner (BW)
Shaman (Team)
Juggernaut (Newjak)

I'm liking the Lords of Chaos team. They sure have a nice stability with an powerful cosmic force, powerful magic, and sheer brute force and durability. Only thing that might be concerning is the Juggernaut's lacking ability to fly...when most teams have all their members in the air.

Team Uniqueness rating: 7.5/10

2. Leo/Kahn
Silver Surfer (Team)
G.L. Hal Jordan (Kahn)
Loki, dammit! (Leo)

The Plot Device😛 team is strong as ever, and they have even more plotdeviceness with the addition of plot device magic from Loki. All are powerful characters.

Team Uniqueness rating: 6.7/10

3. Batdude/DC
Magneto (Team)
Captain Atom (Batdude)
Morg (DC)

😈

Physics R You

Team Uniqueness rating: 9/10

4. AW/Accel
Quasar (AW)
Ronan the Accuser (Accel)
Hyperion (Supreme Power) (Team)

Cosmic Guy team is cool. Both Quasar and Ronan are very unique choices. Only time will tell how the relatively unexperienced Supreme Power Hyperion will do here against some more established characters.

Team Uniqueness rating: 9/10

5. GF/Psyquis
Cyborg Superman (GF)
Thor (Team)
Ray II (Psyquis)

Cyborg Superman was certainly someone I couldn't except, unlike Thor. Ray II seems interesting, it will be fun to watch how he is handled in Brute and the Beast team.

Team Uniqueness rating: 7.9/10

6. DL/Superherovandal
Gladiator (Team)
Martian Manhunter (SHV)
Orion (DL)

Martian Manhunter is a character I didn't think to be in tourney like this. But him combined with Orion and Gladiator is interesting, and this team clearly has lot of raw power, so maybe Martian Manhunter will compensate to that with his more exotic powers. Last of the Mohicans team will be followed by me.

Team Uniqueness rating: 6.9/10

7. Khell/KVD
Black Bolt (Team)
Beta Ray Bill (Khell)
Witchfire (KVD)

Silent Thunder is a solid, powerful team. Witchfire is character who I don't know nothing about, so it will be fun to see how he works with Beta Ray Bill and Black Bolt. And Black Bolt and BRB are also very nice characters.

Team Uniqueness rating: 8.2/10

8. AJ/Sam Z
Majestic (??)
Black Adam (??)
Supreme (??)

What Royal Rumblers lacks in something, it makes up with Superman type characters. Certainly an interesting choice to not have any cosmic characters, or magic besides of course Black Adam. Will be nice to watch. Haven't also seen a lot from Supreme.

Team Uniqueness rating: 7/10

and does AJ have to have his mind made up about who has who by tomorrow??

As far as I know after tomorrow the team rosters are set in stone.

Looking through the rules, I thought Majestic wasn't allowed, as per the speed limitations

he got unbanned by Digi......as did Silver Surfer.....we should ban them again 😈

Holy sh*t that is horrible writing. Friggin SHARKS drawing blood on Despero? Madness.

Majestic and Surfer are in but Flash-esque speed feats are still banned

KVD can change her character if she wants (but do it soon or you're stuck with him/her)

It's Khell's team, I'm just tagging along 🐰

you do of course know what follows that . . . right . . .? 😈

Majestic and Surfer will be assumed to fight at their normal fighting speeds. The very few showings they have (I think jus 1 for Majestic) that show them with Flash-type reflexes will be ignored.

And tomorrow (Wednesday) is the last day to switch characters.

Sometime Thursday I'll announce first round matches.

And if AJ would shore up his team situation, we'd actually be ready for these things (these sort of things like Khell and AJ's situations are why I made this a week-long period between drafts and battles).

(I know and you know deabting for me is out of the question)
If you guys need a judge.. Im still game for that, but I can be a judge or replacement if someone needs one for standby.

I fixed that. This Hyperion is a lot more experienced. 🙂

We have King Hyperion. Not the Supreme Power version. I switched him out a couple days ago.

Indeed he did 👆
