And does offensive transmutation qualify as a OHKO? What about BFR? What about mental shutdowns? What about making use of Anti-Matter or some other energy blast that could theoretically be defended against by SOME in your tier but is far to much for the opponent you're actually facing? My point is that there are any number of attacks that would be considered "cheap" for tourney purposes and if you start capping/barring one it's going to be an an unbalanced game unless you cap/bar all of them. The final call is yours of course, but if there's a vote going on put me down against barring OHKO's or any other restictions outside of keeping everyone "in character".

I'm thinking no prep and, given that you wouldn't be able to use the same characters in consecutive matches, the power limitations can be relaxed a bit. No OHK or Time Manipulation powers, of course, but beyond that it could just be up to the captains to put together a strong team that can dominate the opponent in each blind draw match.
I think no prep is a huge mistake.

I'd make it 1 minute relative prep time. As in everyone gets only 1 minute to do something. This would be regardless of Speed, Time Powers, or any other factor that has been used in the past to increase prep time.
1 minute that is it. That would give any individual character time to make minor preparations such as raising a defensive shields, turning invisible.
That would open a few more characters for certain tiers so that they won't get completely trashed, and there isn't too much time to give major time to creating various elaborate battle plans.

If this were up to me, I wouldn't hinder any creative strategies for either side. That's why I'm for prep. It lets you know who's been studying and who's been putting time/effort into their ideas. Plus it makes for a more interesting fight imo.
With no prep, the bell rings and character "A" blasts the other team while character "B" speedblitzes, etc. etc. blah blah. It's the same shit you see in the vs. forum every single day. The most fun tournies I've seen have involved thinking outside the box and creative planning.
Prep adds a little bit more variety into the mix. I'd be for it.
it wouldn't really matter to me either way, but there is some crazy a$$ $hit people put together with even the minimum amount of prep . . .
and dc would be fine with me captain bats. 😄 i like loads of guys. metamorpho is someone i might like to use if that tier were open. i also like indigo along with lots of other more mainstream characters of course. orion is another i really like.

I like the idea of a character himself being a OHKO. It's not BB's scream. No no. It's just Black Bolt. It would be like entering a tourney and going "BAM! BLACK BOLT!" and then watching the ensuing controversy.

Rather than actually debating BB in this tourney, I'd rather have everybody shake in fear at the thought of "BAM! BLACK BOLT!".
