Batdude's Tourney Discussion Thread

Started by darthgoober144 pages

Yes Blair, but even the way that she's been restricted, she'll still over Thanos. Having EVERY conceivable power that's JUST under Thanos available at a whim, actually puts you OVER Thanos, because he doesn't have access to all of those powers. You have an unlimited supply of herald level characters at your immediate disposal. You drafting her, would be NO different than me drafting Amazo, but restricting him so that he can only use one persons abilities that are under Thanos that he's copied at a time(for that matter, can she steal more than one power at a time, cause if she can then we could also remove the one at a time restriction, and just make any Justice Leaguer that's under Thanos).

I checked and double checked with batdude and talked to others about it. Shes allowed 😐

I checked with Batdude last night, and he said that I make a good case for my stance, so I should bring it up here and make my case and he'll rule on it later.

Only magic powers. Not EVERY concievable power.

She also has to know about them. So she just can't steal EVERY magic power she wants. They had to bring her close to Spectre and show him to her before she could steal his power.

I've read her every appearence. And thus far she has only shown to be able to steal two powers at once, and we and BW agreed to use only two that are under the tourney limits.

2 > Thanos Characters can easily = 1 < Thanos character though

Not really. If you take all his showings into consideration, Thanos is like 5-10x Surfer...✅

I think you got your greater than and less than signs mixed up?

Yes, but how many magical beings has she been exposed to at this point(and is her power actually limited to those she's had contact with)? I'm sure that she's had contact with people who's got access to Super Strength/Durability, Super Speed, Spell Casting Abilities, Transmutation, Telepathy, Telekinesis, Healing Abilities, and God only knows what else. Like I said, that would be no different than my drafting Amazo, and limiting the number of JL members powers he can use at a time. The fact would remain that I essentialy don't have to make an actual pick in the first round, because I can choose between any number of Herald level characters any time I want.

Ok, I pulled this off of wiki(it was the only place I could find that had a detailed description of her powers), does it sound accurate? If not, what's inaccurate about it?

Black Alice has the ability to temporarily usurp the magical powers of any being, even ones as powerful as the Spectre, gaining all its skills and power and leaving it powerless in turn. The limit to the distance at which she can steal power of a target being is unknown. However, in order to choose a particular target she must be able to see him/her; otherwise, she receives a random magic-user's powers whenever she activates her ability. When she steals a being's power, her clothing partially transforms to somewhat resemble that of her target. She has even shown the ability to steal the powers of two beings simultaneously.

We will only use the powers she has been SHOWN to use. Nothing more. We will show scans of these. And make sure she stays UNDER Thanos level. And we won't be switching the powers after prep. And how many magical beings powers she has been shown to use? 7-8 at best. And she can't just pick specific powers.

That is all that matters.

I think you might be right.

Yeah because right now it says

2 greater than Thanos characters can easily equal 1 less than Thanos character 😛

In which case someone needs to draft Galactus or Odin or Ego

As far as I know that's right ... if she can't see them she gets a random power - I know I've seen that happen before.

Wait, if that's the case, then how will she have any powers at all for the matches, since she can't steal from the other team?

I'll get right on that.

😉

I take it Quasar isn't going to be allowed to spit Ego out onto the battlefield during his match.

Seems viable tactic to me 😄

That is a bit inaccurate. Whenever she has taken someone's power, she has to had a knowledge of them. They aren't just random. Etc. she was a fan of Doctor Fate, Captain Marvel and Zatanna and was showing to draw their pictures to her notebook before she even took their powers. And the aforementioned Spectre thing, if she could have just taken his power like that, she would have done it safely from the base of Shadowpact, not get near the omnipotent being...

If she knows about them, she can take their powers. And like - said - before:

"We will only use the powers she has been SHOWN to use. Nothing more. We will show scans of these. And make sure she stays UNDER Thanos level."
