It’s time for King Kandy’s Tournament! No, no fancy names. It's been a while since we've had one, even longer since it was one at this tier. Anyone from experts to first-timers is encouraged. It's in singles.
Rules:
1. The cap is low herald. And my idea of low herald is basically Captain Mar-Vell. Try to keep your picks around that level or lower.
2. Contestants will select teams of three characters, no amalgamation.
3. If I’m allowed to, manga will be able to be selected in this tourney. However, anime will not. No other genres would be allowed on account of the fact that I would probably not be informed enough to make good decisions.
4. No posting limit (free form posting, instead).
5. 20 minutes of prep pre-fight, hosted in the ‘home base’ of one character on your team (however, if certain bases are considered too abusable with this rule, the character will be allowed but not his base.)
6. No time manipulation.
7. No insta-kill tactics such as teleporting into solid objects. Even if an attack isn’t instantaneous, any attack that could, as a matter of its nature, not be defended against is considered this.
8. Characters will not have knowledge of who they are fighting pre-fight. In battle, they will only be able to know things if the two characters already knew each other.
9. Non-offensive matter manipulation is allowed.
10. No duplication.
11. No power copying in any way.
12. Only experience carries from previous fights, and only information you could have reasonably discovered in the fight is learned.
13. No immortal characters. Characters drafted should be able to be defeated by reasonably accessible means. Healing factors strong enough to blur the line with this are also banned.
14. While battlefields will change, it is assumed that nobody can leave the whole of the battlefield by any means. This also means no BFR or self-BFR. If you fly too far, you hit an impenetrable wall.
15. No reality warping.
16. “Spirit of the Law” is to be followed. Anything that may not technically be one of these things, but is used to achieve the same purpose as them is banned. Inversely, things that may technically be one of these rules, but would clearly not cause the problems associated with them, may be allowed.
17. Rules may be changed if certain strategies become an obvious problem.
