He should have. But no one knew anything about them, and judges traditionally fear the unknown. There's more general knowledge now, so obscure picks are safer than they once were, but I feel like Khell had the best team in at least 2 tourneys that he entered. His finals loss to Scoobless was lopsided due to the people he had, but no one had ever heard of them and it was in the pre-scans era. So going was tough for an indy comic fan.Pre-scan tourneys compared to now is, in general, a gigantic difference. Scanners changed the way tourneys are debated in a massive way....for the better, no doubt, but the old days were amusing. That street tourney with Blink/Grail was actually probably the transition from barely any scans to a lot.
Ah.
*childhood dream crushed*
😮
Don't let PR tell you that Digi.
It's not that no one has the balls to tell him. It's more the fact that Thor is the trend setter. Everything he does was cool.
Notice that when Thor speaks in Thor-speak all of Asgard, even Loki, speaks it. When he doesn't no one does.

Classic LP.

Also, yeah, tourneys IV and V were where we gradually started using scans. By the end of tourney V and into VI they were the norm. Anything before that (I-IV) and you'd be lucky to see 2-3 in an entire match.

Noted. Maybe we can put the kibash on the Thor-speak. Why does he seem sweet when he does it?
I say thee NAY!
This being no mere thread, but a HALL!
You say you wish to honor your "fallen"?
Then how so will you honor them with but a lazy tongue?
Nay....
Tails of valor and victory can only be told from the words of a warrior true!

Fair enough, noble friend. I shall try.
Also, jinzin is one of only 2 people ever to have an undefeated tourney record (TheKahn is the other). One tourney, one tourney win.
Congrats! Though that means you're never getting into the Hall ( 😛 ).

Overall tourney, or matches only?Technically, my record is currently undefeated.
You're in the middle of tourneys, so I'm obviously not including that. Among completed tourneys, however, only 2 people (jin and Kahn) retired undefeated...because they won the only tourney they entered, then stopped. You'd have to win all 3 of your current ones to qualify.
...
Other news:
I'm going to try and do some fun analysis of various tourney aspects. Hardest tourney to win (relative to the debating skill and drafts in the tourney), easiest to win, most powerful single tourney character(s) ever (undoubtedly amalgams), best team or amalgam name, best debaters, most diligent with research, etc.
Could be fun. Any other suggestions for categories I should make?
...
Inductions
Loot (formerly Norrin Radd) won the first ever KMC tourney, but is being honered is our hall for his noble efforts in tourney VII. He faced the dred beast Scoobless, slayer of mortals, no less than 3 times, and despites losses in the first two, fought until his dying breath. Truly, such courgae in the face of an insurmountable foe is to be honered!

Can I get points for trying? laughcry
