I suggest a random terrain. Chosen by me of course.

Bigfoot smash puny terrain.

Note to self:

When picking the terrain for Scoobless's fight be sure to include thousands of monsters obsessed with killing "Bigfoot"

That is all

Bigfoot also smash thousands of puny monsters.

They'll have Drax's power keyed to Bigfoot instead of Thanos as well as Hulk and Manhunter's powers.

Bigfoot steal Black Knight's sword and chop monsters up

What about non-spot characters?

If I theoretically had the power to duck into another dimension, could I like sit there for thirty minutes and get stuff? Or is that Self-BFR?

that's an important question and one i was going to ask goob about. with spot, bw could technically hide out in spot's dimension and just blast away and never be hit. technically it would make him unkillable, so i'd assume such a tactic would be banned.

You know, it would be a nice stipulation if the winner of a battle gets to take an aspect of the defeated amalgam and add it to their own power... 😖hifty:

Just an idea.

Couldn't you just shoot through Spot's spots and hit him while he's in there?

that was discussed once, but nothing ever made of it. it would be kinda cool to get to pick one power from an opponent, but luck of the draw would dictate that some characters would get a better 'choice' of powers. guess it wouldn't matter much, and it would be sorta cool. 🙂

I suppose having Invisible Woman's powers wouldn't hurt.

🙂

but wouldn't playing it like that really hamper the two "losers" who make it back into the second round?

i'm not saying we should do it -- just that it was a cool idea if the numbers were right. and DL's probably thinking that gravity powers would probably be pretty cool too . . . 😄

Super-speed would be nice too, eh leo?

So the losers bracket....will the winner actually get back into the tourney?

I thought there was going to be some sort of point system or judge vote to get the two best losers back in to make up the full 8 competitors for the quarter finals.

Well, you can have 12-6-3. Then you could have a loser's bracket to get 1 back in for a 4th.

Maybe?

Or the point system, but that seems....confusing?

No, 12 - 8 - 4 - 2 makes more sense and gets all the "losers bracket" nonsense settled well in advance of the final matches.

I agree. Just that weeding out 2 people from the round 1 losers will be more challenging and possibly confusing. But however goob wants to handle it I guess.

Also, the power stacking gets the 👇 for my vote. Some have figured out ways to get more powerful as the tourney goes on by natural means (like General Kinky, b*tches!). Arbitrary power upgrades from defeated foes seems unfair unless there's a legit reason to justify it.
