EVANGEL94's Final Slugfest Tournament Semi-Finals (5-1): King Kandy vs SmurphSmash!

Started by Evangel945 pages

The new voting system will be implemented after this match, and will be used first in the "Typhus vs Devil Lance" and later used in all subsequent matches. This match will be the last one to retain the old voting system.

sorry for the lack of explanation--

kandy wins because it clearly states he drafted "Dr. Strange (current and classic)-6 points" so all this talk of current only is unwarranted.

plus he is amalgamated with a wielder of the speed force so it is entirely possible for strange to spam the battlefield with spells in seconds.

and the all revealing eye of aggamotto sees all and can illuminate any area enough to blind a large city. that would put most of your team out of commission in one shot.

Zoom is a speedster now?

lmao

The original one (the one he's using) was.

dur me!!

Voting King Kandy. Zeitgiest’s strategy seems to rely on the super fast Professor walking up to his guys during a battle royale... Seems a little far fetched to me. Kandy’s team seems better, strategy seems sound.

doctor strange for christ's sake

Since Typhus vs Devil Lance was pushed back to Sunday, I am going to close this battle match. It has run its course and has been on for over 48 hours.

Match officially ends at 6:45 PM CST. Those who still need to provide reasons for their vote must do so in order to have their vote counted. Votes that occurred before the 10 hour debate was up will not be counted unless they re-state their vote along with an explanation.

Well.....you need a minimum 1000 posts to vote in all matches of this tournament. Sorry. 🙁

Trust me, ask around.

I have way more than that. 🥷

you also needed an explanation of why you voted a certain way A...Ricardo

Damn it its probably too late to vote, but if my vote counts I want to vote for smurph... Why? Well I bleeived his arguments more, dur what other reason does a person have to vote for someone?

Plus that "I'm done with you" bit by Kandy was pretty poor debate skills.

you have to say which argument per say was most convincing for you

otherwise people can just vote for their buddies and say oh 'he's argument was better' without even reading the debate...and that would be unfair

Current and Classic was put there by Evangel and Kandy determining that there would be no official differentiation between the Stranges.

Besides, that doesn't make sense...

Could I draft "Drax" by himself and put (Current and Classic) to argue that his strength and durability remain unchanged?

Which not only was not his presented route of attack, but is also entirely out of character.

Um... most of my characters either can't physically be blinded, are inside a wall, or would not affect my plan if they WERE blind... so... I don't see your point.

--------------------------------------------

This is over, I assume. I don't really appreciate having all the votes in my favor nullified when none of the voters could possibly know that that had happened... but, whatever. I don't really care anymore.

I will add this though: people don't really understand the situation well enough to think it through.

First of all, casting spells at light speed is asinine. Staples of magic like casting time and location would most likely interfere, unless someone could provide me any evidence of the physics of Marvel's magic.

Second, my plan doesn't rely on someone approaching Loa. But, may I remind you, Strange is the mind of the amalgam... not Zoom, and actions must be in character for Strange, not Zoom.

If he doesn't walk up to Loa, he has to meditate to go Astral. Lightspeed meditation...? No. As soon as he starts, Shadow King can attack his mind, RRR can start erasing his mind, Loa can one-shot him, Deadman can possess him... Door Man can't be touched by him.

Finally, could someone at least provide an explanation within reason of how my team could be beat by Strange, seeing as everyone says Kandy's plan seems more "solid" without actually giving reason... I'm just curious. 😬

------------------------------------------

On a final final note, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, I'd like to make a note that I'm withdrawing from the tourney.

Nobody is putting forth any effort any more, the whole thing has gone to shit, and I didn't really make my team in hopes of winning... just seeing how far I could get based on attrition and debating.

I'm truly amazed I got this far.

I was hoping to solidify my win over Kandy before hand, but with the way the voting was ****ed with mid-game and how people seem to be basing their votes not on actual thought out "so and so's plan could win", but on an apparent general feeling about the whole thing... meh. I just lost what Slugfest Spirit I had left.

Anyways, future tourney participants... expect to see me in Illadelph's, Red's and Newjak's... but I'm done with what's left of this one.

Anyways, who is left in this? Sym and... Sym?

Good luck SC. 🙂

YEs because it was only ONE argument of Smurphs that swayed me... cause the rest of them were crap. 🙄

I already told you which one REALLY didn't impress me.

Kandy basically saying "I'm done with you, I do not have the debating ability to handle your arguments, regardless of how ridiculous I personally think they are. So rather than DEBATING in a DEBATE tournament I'm going to throw a fit and leave."

Cause you know that this whole thing was just a "pick characters and be judged soley on them rather than your actual ability to debate."

Smurph. Kandy did a terrible job of convincing me of...well...anything.

I've no reason to believe that current Strange could even hope to find RRR.
