Well...it's closer, I guess.
I dunno if you've noticed, but it seems to me that most high-meta and herald tournaments are won or lost in the prep, not in the debate.
A low-meta or street tournament would require more debate about the fight, and far less about the prep. Hopefully. 🙂.

My problem with just street level is that you run the risk of having a very bland character combination. At least with low Meta you can still get some interesting combinations.
Unlike Street where basically you have to draft the person with the most skill to win.
Originally posted by Charlotte DeBelYeah pretty much.
MA focused tournament is a pain in arse to judge sometimes, but still...low\mid meta level can be more interesting and doesn't hand-to-hand limited.
Street-level amalgam also must be built according to different rules that those for meta-level tournament.

Depends on how far 'street' goes for the particular tournament.
If its no powers at all, yeah, it'd be pretty bland.
But given the right limits, I could imagine some pretty interesting combinations.
Originally posted by Soljerwell most of those limits would approach Low-Meta anyways so I figure just make it Low-Meta

I have an experience of judging such fights as a DM of one forum RPG (and participating in them as player). I know how a good MA duel should be written. And I know that some people tend to use PIS/comics book physics there... or merely think that your lifting strength equals force of hits.
Pure MA duels are hard to judge, though if you know how to use your character's given abilities\skills, you can be a frightening duelist.
If you also know how to use your powers (if we take low/mid meta level amalgams) to add to your skills...you can be pretty much godly with that.
For example, mind of Iron Fist, body of Jakita Wagner and powers of...errm, let's say Kid Devil (though I was tempted to write another top low meta character, but he probably wouldn't be allowed into tournament due to "not pure" origin and game version being known much more better than comics one..i'm talking about K'😉.
That would be a badass amalgam, especially considering the ways in which Iron Fist has learned to use his chi recently.

So Video Games, Books, and Movies are all ok 😄

Yeah, I could see someone snatching up Iron Fist right quick.
Especially come September 22nd..😛.
Is Wolverine low-meta by your standards, newjak? I can already see someone drafting him. Such a controversial and inconsistent character - survivng, and staying conscious through, ANYTHING one issue, and being knocked out by a bullet the next.
Though, I guess, Spiderman suffers the same problem. At least his can be explained by 'holding back,' whereas Wolverine's healing factor is a subconscious process that, by all reason, shouldn't be able to be 'held back.'
Originally posted by SoljerWell there is going a killiability limit and limit on healing factor. So if someone drafts someone with a healing factor than person will have it reduced to the limit. So Wolverine would still havea healing factor but ti would be reduced.

Originally posted by Charlotte DeBelWell its hard to not find something today that doesn't have a comic but as always you will be required to support whatever you claim.
Be careful with that, though. I'm going to advice you to allow characters as long as they have some comics (or manga) appearances.
But if the characters of non comics origin is allowed...consider me a potential participant🙂
And so yes non-comic characters will be allowed 😛
And so he gets his credit Digi came up with the idea.
