Leo's Tourney Odds Thread

IMO Gundam's team presents the greatest chance of a Wildcard strategy/approach. But that may be because I know so little about anyone in his team except for Punisher, and even there my knowledge is spotty.

seems you have a fan . . . 😂

The OP is updated to include all team lists, character links, and match schedule, as well as judges.

I'm reassessing my prediction in light of learning of blair's team...which presents a challenge imo to smurph's team in particular.

Starscream, since you've taken such an interest, it might interest you to know that after our group round robins, we get to re-draft. So some teams will be different going into the semis and finals. As such, predictions on group winners are easier to make, but overall winners are anyone's guess, because teams could feasibly change wildly before it's over.

Sorry to be mildly patronizing earlier, btw...I actually thought you were spam-joking with all the Smurph-wankage. But it's nice to see outside interest.

I would not mind giving odds, but I feel to damn ignorant to do so considering I have not even taken a peek at the rules/restrictions.

that never kept you from posting odds--or even participating--in the past . . .

heh

that's a good point, duly noted.

btw, I'm not wanking smurph...all the debators in this tourney are very capable. I just thought his team was stronger than the others....but I added the caveat that I based it only on my limited knowledge. I know how much creativity debators can bring and often turn rather mundane characters (ie punisher) into much more, although the rules of this tourney seems to allow for only a pretty basic changes due to very limited prep time.

It will be interesting to see how everything unfolds.

The rules of this tourney "seem" to allow amalgams, thus the individual characters matter little as everything can be negated via good teamwork🙂

Careful you might force the Demon of Elru out of early tournament retirement. uhuh

Id, post odds

Omega did about 1000x better in his OP than in his last tourney. Weren't you the one who one-hit-killed yourself with your prep strategy in the last one?

😛

Anyway, kudos. Despite a little unfamiliarity with the process, it's impossible to know you're new from your writeup, which is solid.

In other news, the scans I dug up to counter Mysterio's illusions are now worthless. The early bird....gets shafted occasionally.

I would shift blame by saying that JLX came up with that strat for the most part but then its still on my head for not putting more effort into double-checking his strat before okaying it. 😮

how you think WE'D have done if galan didn't constantly repair all my write-ups!?

s'why i picked galan--i knew i could be lazy and do nothing. 😄

I like that Cage and Iron Fist are meeting in the first match. I like to imagine comic-style interplay between the characters/amalgams. It makes potential matchups so much more entertaining.

😊

...and also disturbing, since, for example, Wolverine and Cyclops presumably have knowledge of the fact that they're now sharing a body. If I were Omega, I'd argue that Smurph's amalgam isn't logically consistent based on that alone.

T-Sphere makes a hologram of Jean Gray ftw. 😉

Smurph is screwed. OHK's are allowed in this sh*t.

If Smurph pushes me I won't be afraid to do it.

😈

I'm not sure "basic knowledge" includes a knowledge of their crippling relationship tension with Jean. You might be out of luck.
