I've been chatting with goob about that. We determined how we'll be deciding who moves on of the round 1 losers, but not how to make matchups. Best guess is that it'll be brand new bracketing....but whether it's with the initial "seeds" or whether or not he'll be factoring in Round 1 performance to make the new seeds remains to be seen.
Hmm... It looks like we need a clarification.
Is the mind character responsible for experience or is it both the mind and powers characters combined? I was under the impression it was the mind character that gave you all your experience and the powers character just gave you, well, powers.
Does the amalgam gain all the experience of both characters (mind and powers)?
but we gain 'full knowledge' of the powers we choose. that's why in the bw/kk match, when one of the judges (ill??) said he didn't think rhodes would have the 'skill' to do what emma did with tp, i thought it was . . . wrong. 😬
anything emma did, the amalgam can do. i saw kk confirm this idea with goob and post the confirmation in his battle.
it only makes sense -- otherwise we'd just be blindly stumbling around unaware of how to use whatever powerset we gained.

For instance if someone has energy blasts they have full knowledge of how to use them to the fullest but like if they have a feat of hitting someone with pinpoint accuracy that falls under mind character's abilities tp reproduce that kind of aim.
At least that is what I took from it.

Maybe that was posted, but during the drafts we were told that the mind character gets to know how to use the powers of the power character but does not get all of their previous experience/skill.
And had I known that the Black Knight's Eboony Blade was capable of stealing souls with one stab as well as KOing people like the Vision with barely a touch then I would have pushed to get that thing banned.
It seems a hell of a lot worse than a lot of the other powers that were banned ... and the guy still has two other powerful swords to choose from.

And Vision has KOed Ironman in One Blow as well. Ironman has KOed two Heralds of Galactus. Spiral has KOed both Herc and Ironman in one blow. At least Vision wasn't completely KOed. I think you guys sometimes forget just how tough some of these guys are and what kind of feats these guys have. 😬
And yet soul stealing still seems to jump out as being way beyond Iron Man level.
😛
I already made my case against Spiral.
And the Silver Surfer thing you keep referring to was when Iron Man used Surfer's power cosmic to power his armour, it lasted a few seconds and completely fried his armour ... it's not something he could do without a massive outside power source.

Spiral is just crazy but like I said with her in here I do not see a problem with my weapon.
And Tony has done it twice once to Silver Surfer and once to Terrax the Tamer.
And I would also like to point out that Thunderstrike's mace has been allowed 😛
Originally posted by ScooblessIt still has some very nice feats even if it does suck.
Thunderstrike's mace sucks ass (sorry LP, but it really does)And everyone knows that Terrax jobs worse than a giant monster fighting the Power Rangers.
And still Terrax and Silver Surfer together those are wins I would brag about if I was Ironman 😄
Besides who has a stone that allows them to be somewhat tangible, somewhat intangible at times 😛

Stealing a person's soul and avoiding a punch aren't the same.

And since then I've had time to read up on him ... which is why he isn't on my team this time around.

That's my thinking also. I believe you'd know how to use your powers topically, but as far as skill and experience feats it would be up to my mind character to make them viable options.
that flies in the face of goober's confirmation re: the emma feat and her getting through shields.
i was under the impression that knowledege of 'powers' fell under sort of 'special' knowledge that all characters had. if what you all say is true, MANY feats accomplished by the 'power' character could be called into question. how unbelieveably disconcerting would it be for ironman to be firing blasts from arms that are several meters away from him??
how can you be sure bigfoot -- in 10 mins -- would be able to turn just parts of himself intangible like he was doing?
i think goob's initial rule (and the one he once again confirmed with kandy) only makes sense.
