The jumpstart ability isn't prime evil here- there are many ways to amp stats via amalgamation. The prime evil is hidden access to banned ability (and as for "inability to use that during tourney", it contradicts no neutering rule- for example, during drafts I was going to draft Mastermind III- she has low-level TP in addition to her illusion casting abilities, but she wasn't allowed due to illusion casting; same with Black Mamba).

Same here.
Alucard was goig to be a prime-charachter but his Tp and Hypnosis deemed him unsuitable.
Vergil is a master of combat teleportation, and his combat speed is at tourney cap- Max2 at least. Demon form is also tricky...but if we don't talk about Nero Angelo, DMC3 Vergil is mid meta and you're right, that's an assload of a pwnage to some.
As for K', I drafted HK comics version, not game version. Due to move versalite stuff with fire, but in terms of power level those versions are quite equal.

😐
Shouldn't that just be banned outright by the rules? We shouldn't even need to do the voting ban thing.
If you're generic enough, you can describe damned near anyone with damned near any power set. It's about their power using it, though.

I think something needs to be revealed. As some of you know, I've been trying to get Sage banned. Alot of you asked why.Blair hopes to use her power on Jubilee, and awaken Jube's potential. Sub-atomic matter detonation. This is confirmed in Cresh's respect for her, and several characters comment on her potential. Sage is someone who can unlock said potential.
she's also a high end telepath with no restrictions on her TP other than a self-imposed shield. Those of you who harbor any hope of winning this, join me in banning her. Or we're all dead meat. 😬
OH EM GEEZ, you're so insightful, I bet you NO ONE saw that coming! Let's all rally together to ban a smart pick because we didn't think of it first!
Spiteful.

Spiderman lacks the ability to stop time

No... characters that can utilize TP to affect the opponents aren't allowed.No neutering.
I already addressed this, Smurph. Unless Ill comes and says his intention was otherwise:

The rule is no offensive telepathy - not no characters with offensive telepathy. I believe this is a clear distinction from the matter manipulation rule which SPECIFICALLY says "No character capable of offensive, organic matter manipulation will be allowed."For example, let us say that Emma Frost was within the cap limits. You could draft emma and use her diamond form, but would be disallowed from using any offensive telepathy during the tournament - still being granted full access to whatever 'passive' telepathic abilities you'd glean from her use.
If an amalgam is a telepathic powerhouse in an amalgam - cool - but the use of that power directly on the opposition is banned. Ill can feel free to overturn my interpretation, but that's how I read the rules.

Exactly.If you're capable of using telepathy offensively you shouldn't be here.
It's power neutering.
Another rules states no organic matter manip, and that if characters were capable of that, they weren't allowed.
So Sage should be gone.
Exactly. It specifically banned characters that could use organic matter manipulation. It only outright banned the USE of offensive telepathy.

The tourney isn't capped at Spiderman level. They simply need to be in the same 'power class.' I'd consider Spiderman in Spiderman's power class.
1. This will be a Spider-Man/Low Meta Tier Tournament. The characters do not need to be less powerful than Spider-man himself, simply in the same power class. There is no cap on how powerful your amalgamation can be. The limits are simply on the individual members of your roster prior to amalgamation.

Synch in that case is a legal way to get an ability banned from the tourney. If an ability overall is banned (not because of the caps or ect), and you draft character who has that ability as passive and have cahracter who can turn it active even without amalgamation- then how should it be called?
Banned abilities are still banned even if they are 'reasoned' to. If that makes any sense.

Max1-2 is an unofficial speed cap for that tourney picks, we start battle 5 km from each other. It takes 15 seconds to move that distance at sonic speed.
Of course, there are ways to increase speed via amalgamation (and Smurph should be perfectly aware of those), but there are no caps on amalgams😉
Mach. And you begin one half kilometer from each other. You think your combatants are gonna make a five kilo hike just to fight each other?
