EVANGEL94's Final Slugfest Tournament: Round 2-1; Devil Lance vs Tony Stark

well this isn't a race, it's more like that boxing robots game.

two opponents are placed in front of each other and in dl's case is ramming the buttons to punch stark's robot. stark's robot is just standing there but dl's (imo) can't ko the other one.

if dl wants to win, all he has to say is he covers stark's character in metal then waits for ten minutes.

I'll actually side with DL here. Evangel, you made the rule and posted it for everyone, so we're aware of it, but our votes are still ours. It's hard for me, or anyone, to design prep for Doom on our own...so I can imagine some things, but basically if there's a coherent plan to counter it (there is, since DL did an admirable job) I'll find it hard to vote against them based off of my guesses about what Doom might do. We can make some low-level assumptions based on our knowledge, but without deep research I can't go any further with any character, regardless of their prep potential.

I'm also not in the business of rewarding people for not showing up. The ethic of tourney responsibility we've been trying to foster would seem to endorse such thinking. If one team clearly is better than the other, I will vote accordingly. I expect others would too. But the gap, in this case, is not nearly so wide.

I intend this respectfully, because I understand what Evangel is saying with respect to the potential prep of Doom. But I can't use that to justify a vote the other way.

I am curious on how you plan to do all this to do this with only 15 minutes of only battlefield prep.

Mind link in the beginning?
Build a large flash light construct?
4 layers of protective nth metal?
Build an indestructible suit of promentium?
20 Superman promethium constucts?

All this within 15 minutes?

vs

-Dr. Doom in Gladiator's body
-36 hours prep in lab
-(Extensive knowledge of all opponents including strengths and weaknesses)

Not that I am trying to take sides, but I would like to know if you really think 15 minutes is really enough to beat and counter whatever Doom has in store for you?

Hey, you know that this match is DL vs. Tony, not DL vs. Evangel right?

Uh-oh you shouldn't have said that

but really when will the next match start?

Evangel has every right to post her thoughts, just like we do when we vote. So we may not agree, but let's not make an issue of it. I think my quoted comments above deal with our collective rationale quite well without resorting to negativity.

Alright this match is over.

I will post the next match.

Final Thoughts: A hollow victory since Tony Stark did not post at all. I wonder how the match would have turned out if he did. Who knows? But it would have been more exciting to watch.

Anyway Stark goes to the Last Chance Finale and Devil Lance advances to the next round.

Just to note, psycho gundam votes for Tony Stark.

's ok. No-shows should be rare from here on out.

Also, congrats to DL for being the first to officially move on past the round robin best-of-3.

👆

And an unfortunate note as Stark becomes the first person eliminated. Get 'em next time, I guess....though there's still the FFA for eliminated contestants.
