We'll, I read this a few times since it's short enough for me to do it, and I have to say this match would've been better served if both addressed the strategy of their opponent in direct fashion from the beginning, otherwise I'm just left with a lot of holes about which character can do what, and it's not my job to defend your points in either case.
Smurph's debate and tactic was straight to the point and overall more apt for a tournament, you have to be ambitious in your strategy in order to win and defend it like crazy, he would've done so if he had time to answer before, but since he couldn't this is a little akward.
Reaction times of the monolith, not knowing their opponent location and Lightray's passage through Magneto's shields were all fair questions that inimalist posted; which sadly went unanswered in the debate which frustrates me to no end. Deadlines are one hard truth on this kind of tourney.
I have to go with inimalist, this was short but not bad at all, good work both of you.
