1) how egos get crushed, when their ill fated invincible teams are tore apart.
2) the ideas, members come across with.

hello, i meant BESIDES that . . . 🙄

I had hoped we'd have a few more people competing, but meh. The rosters are generally pretty solid.

those who picked obscure characters or indie, or just trying to instigate shenanigans be forewarned, the judges are watching. so no monkey business. durbeware

I really REALLY do.

😐

I actually toyed with naming my boys "Team Ass Whoopin'" at the height of my frustration with the drafts.

Other than that, Digi has the most obviously powerful team. But theres something to be said for more subtle teams 🙂

I do, don't I?

😎

And who's to say I don't have subtlety? I'm just going to be subtle as I pound everyone's face into the ground. I'll be like "hey look, a bird!" then WHAM! ....face in ground.

Still, everyone has secrets. This will all need to be re-assessed at various points during the tourney due to strategies.

We've got an Indie character but his bio pretty much covers what he can and can't do.

ps--that what happens when those scots mesh pubs with hotspots. i'm just glad that he didn't put in a link to someone really lame like hawkman or vector . . .

😖hifty:

You can tell, folks, the characters he's really worried about by the names he throws out there.

hmm, i can think of one very important thing that abomination can and has done that has nothing at all to do with strength . . . just don't think it can be exploited by the people he has. although clearly an abomination with a sabes's-type healing factor and adamantium weapons is absolutely NOTHING to feel good about facing . . .

i also can't really see many over-arching strategies. bw/smurph have me a bit baffled. i THOUGHT i had an idea of where they were heading, but now i'm not so sure.

cdb has a very strong team as do kk/id. i'm actually really looking forward to seeing that match take place. 🙂

k-fish has a good team as well. be interesting to see how he does in this thing. an underdog, certainly. but jean has a vast array of great showings. i mentioned abomination already and electro has a couple very good feats to his name as well.

FG's team is the most puzzling to me . . .

digi has more brute power than anyone, AND knows how to debate. and he prolly really REALLY wants to whoop all our a$$e$! 😂 i know how effective tech-based characters can be in these things (that was my focus in the last 2 tournaments) and digi has about the best you can get. he's gonna be a problem in this thing . . .

for most. 😈


You should look up the abilities of Speed ball and Power Pax ( Which was his name when he had ALL the abilties of his siblings. Including an uber healing factor. ) Then you won't be puzzled. Defense is the name of my game.

Then it's probably a good thing Sabretooth doesn't have any adamantium anymore.

😛

Sabes had the adamantium upon his death, confirmed by marvel.

It's just the muramasa blade can cut Adamantium + Sabes tendons and joints were not covered, letting Wolvi cut his hand off at the wrist joint when he almost killed Black Panther.

Tee Hee. Hee Tee. 😄

Is it just me, or does this seem wrong pinned? I like the random bumps after maybe a week off the first page when something new and exciting happens in the tourney that causes everyone to rethink their predictions.

Like the fact that everyone thought I picked Alex power instead of power pax? 😆

The forum didn't have enough pinned threads. 😛

No. Not really. You kinda missed the point.

NO. I know you said it was pinned wrong. But I was talking about the part where surprises and things changed part that you were talking about. Not about the pinned part. Sorry for the miscomm.

Right. I know that. But if you think that switching versions of a character to a slightly more powerful one is tourney-changing, then the first round of battles is going to blow your mind.

I never switched. That was the point. I always said Power Pax. But some people were wondering what the hell I was doing with Just G force on my team. And I'm not too worried about the first round tourney. It's all in fun. But be not decieved, I've got a couple of cakes in the oven, a pot or two on the stove, and a turkey burger on the george forman. I'm cooking up some stuff.

Dammit now I'm hungry.

Right. And my point was that it's a good move, since he's obviously more powerful, but not earth-shattering news. I didn't know who G-Force was either until today, so I wasn't locked with a "wtf" look on my face. It's like me having Extremis instead of, hell, whatever an earlier version was. Better, but not catastrophic.

Just bring enough buns from that oven to share. Nobody likes someone who hoards their buns....
