Seeing possible futures is like the lamest power ever."Look, I'm married to this hot rich girl in this future, yet in real life I'm stuck as a McDonalds managers who can't seem to find good porno despite using internet explicitely to that end for hours and hours. I guess I can substitute porn by alternate future sighting. Interplanar voyeurism!"
Seeing all possible futures would be awesome. You can totally screw over anyone you don’t like, by feeding them the wrong information, and to make worst possible choices. Or help yourself out by timing your actions probably, since you know all possible outcomes through trail, and error.
You also know all the futures you cannot reach. That's like the sempiternal limitation of humanity, you grow old and you have full knowledge of the things you could've done but no longer can. Given a single set of past actions you'll be always limited in a future action, never to say that if you change your mind about what's good and what's not you fail even harder because you could simply evade those instances.
Example: What if not seeing the other futures was the key to success? What if you're only happy and successful in events in which you ignore your so called power? Is like determinism with baby wheels.

Fool my cosmic awarness, permits me to see all possible time lines. Including the What If's.I foresee a CDB curb stomping you ass, due to last tournaments performance. CDB is emotionally driven like the character Charis (Nemesis).
LOL. BTW I planned on drafting Charis in redrafts. But then decided against her for some reason though combat empathy and cut-through-anything swords are cool stuff.

Is Solid Snake for Grey Fox from MGS a draftable character? They have those comic releases that are vary detailed, and faithful to the Game.
Well, we're past redrafts now so it's a moot point. Non-comic characters never really came up though, so leo never had to make much of a ruling. I did try to get a Star Wars characters in, who was later banned, but it was for power level reasons, not because of the genre.

Is it me or teleporters own this tourney?
It's the nature of tourneys. You can look at any particular tourney and usually find 1-2 things that dominate it. Because our job as competitors is to build the best team, and sometimes "gimmick" powers can dominate a tourney where others aren't allowed. So originally everyone went for phasers. Then they were banned. Duplication's out, etc. Teleportation became the 'in' power, just as the ones I mentioned earlier have been 'in' in previous tourneys.
Because there are counters to phasing, for example, but they're limited. But if you have phaser of your own, you're set. So once teleportation was broached, it was only natural that others followed. Because usually the easiest way to counter a teleporter is with one of your own, then bank on the rest of your team being more powerful.

Speaking of teleporters, was there a ruling on Blink? Is she above the low-meta cap? I'd go to the tiers thread, but ever since it was closed it just depresses me to visit. 🙁
It's not closed, it's just read-only. There's a difference....it doesn't have that line through the thread title.
😛
But yeah, Blink was banned early or she she would've been on someone's team. As it is, Spot's the most awesome teleporter in the tourney now.
