anyone feel like a new amalgam tourney?

well, we have a lot of new members, and a lot of old members left...and it's been a while since we had one. so who's up for another one? i don't want to run it, i was just thinking about it because there hasn't been one for a while. i was thinking a four mid-level character amalgam tourney. how's about it?

I personally loved the Amalgam Tourney but quite a few people disliked it.

I could go for one. But batdude has dibbs on the next tourney.

People got too good at matching power combos. If there was, say, another herald level amalgam tourney, it's conceivable to have a completely invulnerable character. Juggernaut + Powerful Telepath comes to mind. If it was a team, take out the telepath and Juggs is suddenly vulnerable. Amalgamate them, though, and it's a different story.

Even mid-level, it's too easy to come up with something that's borderline unfair. That's why we initially had to leave the amalgam stuff.

Sounds like fun though im thinking of some right now.

What combo?

Well Cap and Hulk or Cap and Madrox....well you know me it had to be Cap and something. 😮

You wouldn't even need to put a telepath on Juggernaut. Just Juggs and the Flash. Then you have a being that reacts faster than eternity ( 😖hifty: ) and cannot be harmed in any way, shape, or form.

Perhaps if you had an entirely impartial judge look at the characters before hand, and judge whether they were cheap, impossibly devious combinations of characters, such as Juggs and a telepath or Juggs and the Flash, and rule them out if that were the case, then it would work.

EDIT: Besides, I'd personally like to see a Street-level tourney. I'm tired of all the Green Lanterns and Silver Surfer's flying around on the tournaments on these boards. Let's see some Wolverine fanboyism/bashing! Let's see T'Challa run around punking people!

I think it would be OK, as long as there was a low enough level put on the characters to ensure that the final product wasn't invincible, and the 'No figgin loopholes' rule was in place, to keep people from trying to sneak stuff in.

*nods* Go on the honor system, and if someone tries to put in a (damn near unanimously decided) cheap way to victory, they are either barred from using that method, or automatically thrown out of the tourney. The latter would definitely discourage this type of "cheating."

Still putting in my suggestion for a street level tourney, be it amalgam or not.

Why not make it Zoom? He's always been shown as faster than the Flash, even if he doesn't have the same speed force powers. At least that way, you wouldn't have to worry about someone amalgated with Zoom outspeeding you, :-P.

Does it involve Iceman? 😄.

not really...but its the best amalgam ever 😈
I dont even need a third character....but I guess I could think of one if need be

I highly doubt that because there are some things in there that are especially nasty among those combos.

Oh by the way out of those five take Juggernaut and pick any combo you want
so it could be Juggenaut+Flash+MM

Anyway Flash has some nice powers I would like to add to an unstoppable brick wall 😈

Flash+Blob+Juggernaut. 😛
