I agree there is an elitist attitude against Indie comics. But with good scans, a respect thread, and some strong debating, indie characters can be viable in tournaments. For example, in Evangel's last tournament, we had our first indie character as part of a winning team: Spawn. So there is a growing respect for them IMO. My problem with Flame On!! as I've stated, is that he was trying to cheat and sneak in characters who were either using banned abilities, or over the caps. Some people took the opportunity to bash his using indie characters, which was wrong. If he had stopped trying to cheat, or break caps, then he would have gotten in and he'd have been able to get more notice and respect for his indie characters. Basically, he shot himself in the foot. 😛
Devil Lance has said I can compete if I want but only using maintream characters. No one was trying to cheat. You just don't know comics.

-FO!!
