An answer from who?

I'm a bit concerned that a character is being banned, when there has been absolutely no case against him brought up.

The judges/hosts are discussing it. The original reason reason that he was banned was that we felt he exceeded the limit based in part on past debates on KMC and his more widely known feats. However, since there was some disagreement on the character, we are more than happy to hear the arguments in his favor and reconsider the decision. We are honestly trying to be as fair as we possibly can for all involved.

Dude Loki resurrected Bor who was giving King Thor a fight for his life. Yet they want to bring up his little scrimmage with King Thor. Resurrecting Bor>>>Hammer Toss. uhuh

Why didn’t I pick Loki uhuh

I can't really offer any arguments for why he shouldn't be banned (that would be proving a negative), but if I heard the reason's why he's considered too strong i'm sure I could refute them.

All I see so far is that people have this perception that he's really tough, but when it comes to actually finding specific feats, they come up short.

You. still. could. 😛

Ok, we've reached a decision. Given the arguments in his favor by both the team that wanted him and even their competitors, we are going to allow Genis-Vell provided he follows the same power limits as everyone else.

Given that King Kandy and Id369 were kind of screwed over in having to reveal their pick early, we are going to hold Genis-Vell for them in the second round. If they do no draft him then, he will become available for anyone else.

Resurrection won't help in this tournament - you only get one "death" per fight 😈

Thanks. I much appreciate that.

They actually said that he was the pillar that supported their team, so it seems more appropriate just to let them switch out rather than hold him for the next round.

No problem. Thanks to everyone for being patient and helping in the debate. 🙂

That's certainly a possibility if they don't want Tangent Superman. If they do want him, they still end up with both characters. But if they want to switch and let Tangent Superman go back into the pool, I'm fine with that.

IDK about id, but i'm fine with keeping tangent and just reserving Photon. They're both excellent characters.

Just let us know one way or the other before the next round of drafting. 🙂

Also, please note that non-Phoenix Force Rachel Summers is available to be drafted.

Am I allowed to switch tangent for another character, but keep Genis reserved?

Don't push it. uhuh

I don't think we can go that far. The main issue was that because of the bans being reversed, everyone got to see who you guys wanted on you team (Genis) and they might possibly steal him during the second round.
If you have a confidential character you'd rather have than Tangent Superman, then we'll go ahead and give you Genis and let you draft your mystery character in round 2.

Alright forget Tangent Superman. We are going with our original draft which is Genis-Vell.

Ok, Genis-Vell is yours. Tangent Superman is back into the pool for everyone.
