Really? how long does it take to write up this:
"MI flies over (insert battlefield here) shield up, ram into (insert opponent here) chop, chop, punch, punch ... MI FTW!!!!!111!"
🙄
Personally I think since this is about to be the quarterfinals and the stakes are higher that each combatant should have equal time to prepare. I think we should start the next round on 6/25 (the Monday after next) and have all 4 battles begin simultaneously. We should also have the brackets and battle locations posted no later than 6/20 (next Wednesday).

Here's a question that I expect Pig to flip in his next post. Pig's pointed out that Zero has thousands of years worth of combat DL'd into his head, I've pointed out that Thunderstrike ain't Zero and that's more of a mind ability.
Does Zero's thousands of years worth of combat DL'd into his head count as a power or a mind trait?
I assume that it's a mind trait as it falls under battle savy, skills, etc.
Yeah, I agree with Darkcrawler, I consider it a mind trait too. Not to mention the fact that Zero is a machine. His body is Dragonman and his mind/experience/tactical style is Masterson. He only has Zero as the powers character, not Zero's body, mind, or artificial properties (which is actually another issue I have with his argument, but I'll leave it at that because I'm not sure whether I'll wind up judging that match or not).
He may not have fully understood the amalgamation rules.

I disagree. if you have a robotic body, then by logic, you should have access to computer reaction speed and thought processes. Since the physical body is cybernetic, the mind would be considered cybernetic, even though it would have only relevant experience to it's original body. So LP's idea of saying he would have Zero's combat data and info, is probably not gonna fly. But his idea of saying that his mind pick would have the computer analyzing speed that comes with Zero's powers, that's an arguement he could make.

That would be true if it weren't stated by Goob in the rules that robotic bodies were turned off and only could be used for strength/durability unless you had ability to unlock the body's traits.
What we have here is Masterson's consciousness with Zero's powers inside Dragonman's brain and body...
Bad juju.
