This match will be a week from start time.

Prep is 72 hours long.

The Location: The Amazon Jungle

Judges will be announced soon.

[b]I have not received Opening Posts from Martian_Mind

Thus he forfeits his prep time and the ability for his partner to use his team for prep time. [/B]

clearly a little more difficult to comprehend than bw thought it was! 😂

anyway, as i'd said from the outset, no access to any of marty's guys including of course, mr. t. 🙂

damn, KNEW i'd read that ^%$#@!* rule somewhere . . .

So this match was over on the 12th, right? It's up for judgment now?

yep.

Who can vote?

I'll post my judgment tomorrow. A lot to consider.

Martian kind of screwed you B-Dub.

Ok, after taking everything into consideration, these are the conclusions I've come to:

1) I've seen no evidence that Amazo could use the speed force and does anything more than mimic super speed. Copying Flash's powers doesn't necessarily mean he gets the genuine article without some sort of proof. He can simulate the effects of any power he encounters, but without evidence of him showing the ability, and also with the scans showing that Amazo doesn't use said powers to the full extent as the progenitor, I can't follow that line of reasoning. Sorry B-Dub.

2) Aquarian's field was a nice touch (an idea stolen from me). However, due to the speed disparity, and the fact that Leo and Charlotte can act before B-Dub's team can react, the teleportation of the other members of his team into Aquarian's proximity and thus nullifying them does seem feasible.

3) A portion of B-Dub's prep was thrown out of the window due to Martian pulling a Trickster.

4) Brainiac 5/Element Lad were under utilized offensively and relegated to a supporting role. B-Dub banked too much on Amazo and Aquarian being his trump cards in my opinion. The computer virus attack and T-Spheres were a nice touch, but due to Martian's absence they aren't on the table. With three days you should have come up with something to counter the numbers disadvantage you found yourself in (and you also should have paid closer attention to the rules).

The main determining factor in my opinion was Savitar. His ability to sap speed, lend speed, and out maneuver B-Dub at the onset of battle kinda sealed it. If I'd seen evidence that Amazo could access the speed force himself this would be a more interesting fight (particularly since he's pretty much the only offensive implement being utilized in this match), but since no evidence was provided, this match pretty much becomes Amazo/Box/Ivo and Element Lad/Brainiac 5 being teleported into the Aquarian's null field, and then B-Dub would likely have to retract the field to free his teammates, and in that moment given Charlotte and Leo's team speed they could move in and take out Firestorm/Brainiac 5 and disable Amazo. I don't think they'd be able to harm Aquarian, but being held hostage in his own force field doesn't really count as a win, and given the speed disparity Aquarian would likely never get the chance to ensnare Charlotte and Leo's characters.

Vote: Charlotte and Leo

B-Dub, you should have used Element Lad/B-5 offensively. You spent far too much time trying to solidify Amazo's standing and didn't bring anything else to the table, and you were already at a disadvantage due to not having Martian present. Also I felt you would have had a better showing with Spartan/Void on the battlefield rather than Aquarian given that tactically you're taking a tech based approach and he offers more offensively.

Ok then I think Ill pretty much said everthing that needs to be said about this match.

BW is going solo which already puts him at a big disadvantage.

I do have a hard time believing that Amazo can use or have access to the speedforce with anything approaching the Flash or Savitor. That in my opinion puts him at another huge disadvantage.

With two power copiers of Amazo and Adaptoid's level on the battle field I generally give it to the more prepared one. Adaptoid just had a little mroe time to prepare for this.

So my vote goes to Leo/Charlotte

good match folks.
