Tearing a head off isn't sadistic. Crushing someone's knees, elbows, and ankles but leaving them alive is sadistic.

I am completely against this whole idea. It was just this kind of thing that ruined CBR.

👆 Exactly.

It seems all this talk is geared towards certain characters.

It's the basis of the forum, and the CIP ruling. We're debating characters here, not powersets. Sure, I'd love to be able to say Superman blitzes Hulk from the outset and tears off his head (which I would do), but he wouldn't do that, so I can't say it.
I've always tried to approach character fights as if written [intelligently] in a comic. I'd want to stay true to powerset, personality and making it an exciting battle. Eg, if I were to have Surfer fight Superman, neither would I jump right into a weakness exploitation, or speedblitz. I'd have the characters do what they tend to do when fights begin. Basically, you let the characters tell the story.

But that's me.

can you reconcile this with:

the first seems to insinuate that because Flash doesn't blitz all his opponents at FTL, that we should consider that in a forum fight, where the second almost explicitly says that sort of "holding back" isn't relevant to the forum...

it's the "still within the character's personality" part.

that's the part we're trying to stress here.

that's the right way to go about it.

For example on there they had "mod rulings" made that, for example, Doomsday and Hulk didn't have superhuman speed, and anyone arguing against that would get banned no matter what evidence they provided.

Oh. No, that's not what we're doing.

God no.

CBR did that? WTH...facepalm

Pr and I hate reffing debates. And we would never warn/ban someone who disagrees with a mod. Except maybe Carver...mmm

J/K Carver. 😛

I think we should ban all "god-analogues" (TOAA, presence, primal monitor, HOTU) from being used. I can't think of a single non-stupid discussion these characters have generated and they usually just boil down to flaming because people have no way to actually prove anything.
Add cosmic Armor superman to that mix.

I can think of a lot mor sadistic things.

Very important question: Is there some sort of level that would constitute as "starving, hungry, average, well fed, or full" galactus? Because people seem to see large differences in power from say one hungry galactus to another.

This is exactly why cbr isn't really about debating. They enforce their opinions which is the worst thing a board can do. Enforce the rules when necessary but you can't just outlaw opinions. Cbr is trash.

Galactus does need discussed. I would prefer scans which illustrate him at "starving", "50%" and "full".

As long as people agree that Batman and Hulk win, we won't have any problems here. sneer

So can I. It was just an example.

lol, would you like to ban Countdown while you're at it?

Might as well since you seem to think the point of this thread is to make your opinions bound in the rules so people will be punished for disagreeing with you.

Absolutely. Any character for whom you can say with a straight face "feats don't matter", probably doesn't have a place on this forum.

How long would a character have to be out of the battlefield from BFR or be dead if they have the power to come back (Thanos, sentry, doomsday etc...) for it to count as a forum lose.

IDK, but most tourneys i've seen used 10 minutes for BFR.

I hope this site doesn't go the route of Mod rulings or Bullet time exceptions etc etc. Because that's what made CBR terrible.
