Why: Because he spits hot fire.

Can't imagine it would. Prep time would still be relative though. No time shenanigans to extend it. That's pretty standard issue for prep in tourneys anyway.

It does not, though like Digi mentioned, the prep-time remains relative 🙂

Good.

Ok so back to my fun.

Body: Jackie Estacado (The Darkness)
Mind: Sara Pezzini
Powers: The Angelus

Why: Combining the conflicting forces of light/dark eliminate their weakness, and augment in power. With Sara as mind, gets you the Witchblade which acts as the balance of the two. The strength in power grows high enough to wreck planets.

Darkness is high meta? He's listed as low herald in the current tiers thread.

Planet wrecking would likely be a prerequisite once you're at low herald, at least for amalgams (it would be somewhat harder as a team, though not impossible). Mid-to-high, and you start to find characters who can wreck planets on their own. So if this is a low herald amalgam, it's impressive but not necessarily tourney-busting.

Well, reading that match is fun...

I didnt know he was low herald, hell I didn't know he was ranked.

Ok Curry knows this, but I wanted to have fun with an adaptable team.

Body: Bastion
Mind: Brother Eye (pre-DCnU)
Powers: OMAC Unit.

With bastion being a Nimrod-Master Mold Hybrid comes in handy. I figured the cupling of Eye/OMAC would yield great results. Just an awesome piece of hardwear to counter mutants/Metahumas.

Well that and fantastic abiltiy to assimilate anything.

This could be a good swiss army knife for countering others. I think you might have challenges again on power levels (Nimrod is low herald, yeah? I don't know where Bastion would be), but the idea is sound.

So many teams have a mutant on their roster in this thing. I would've loved to see everyone's faces if someone picked Leech.

well, pg's drainer is likely better than leech. better range and proven to depower more things i believe.... all these possibilities just makes me want to get into another tourney. now. while this one is still going on. i get bored easily. 😮

And yesterday I wanted to challenge Quanchi into a mixed genre battlezone (DMC3 Dante, all weapons\powers minus time manipulation, feats from prequel manga apply vs. that crappy True Blood vampire that is new Quanchi's main crush).
Now THAT is "bored". I still consider this challenge but after this tourney is finished.

Ya'll are addicts. I enter a lot of these things, but it's always followed by months of not wanting to enter one ever again. Each tourney is like stretching out increasingly-sore muscles due to all the time I've spent in them.

The only reason I entered this one was because it was high meta, which is by far my favorite tier to debate at.

Mine as well, this or low meta. I suck at herald tier to be honest.

Low herald is fun tho, but some of the people there....just damn.

Heralds is where its at!

Still waiting for a Skyfather tournament

I entered a few low-herald\mid-herald tourneys but without much success there. Probably I just don't have any "comfortable" characters in these tiers.

Well, we tend toward one of a few levels. Overwhelmingly, tourneys held are either high herald, high meta, or low meta. Several were multi-level (I think exclusively when Evangel hosted).

Only one tourney at another definite level ever finished (Mid herald - Leo won over Smurph in the finals). Kandy tried a low herald tourney not too long ago, but it died in the water.

And technically the "Modified street" tourney wasn't low meta, but only because we didn't have the terminology for it at that time. Same with the "Under Thanos" tourney...technically 1-2 picks may have dipped into Trans, but 90% of the picks were straight out of mid or high herald.

Long story short, we like those three levels.

...

I always wanted a Trans. tourney. Maybe two characters on a team. No prep at all, but NO in-match restrictions. Time manip., matter manip., reality warping, speed force, dimensional stuff, whatever. Pity the judges. Pity them.

Skyfather? It becomes a race to snatch Nabu, and Odin.

Your out of your comfort zone.

The best multi-level tourney EVER was Delph's Champions' League. From street to high meta, extending through the whole comfort zone of mine. Good times, damn it.
That's why I am rehashing an amalgam from it in this tourney. Cause good stiff is good.
The second season was to include low heralds but it never happened🙁

i'd like to run or participate in an anything-goes tournament. i think that would be fun. it would be cool to allow things like matter/reality manip on opponents for once, allow the creation of the craziest inventions....just use your imagination to the fullest and see who can come up with the best crazy and who could defend against the best crazy. i'd have a blast with that.....

On a related note, I need to rearrange the "tourneys entered" list in the respect thread to only include tourneys that finished. 2-3 that are listed never finished, and it's not necessarily fair to have, say, 5 tourneys entered for a person if only 2 finished. Say they haven't won anything...it looks like they're 0/5 instead of 0/2. This won't affect everyone, and it's small in the scheme of things, but meh.

Also, how far did Kandy's low herald tourney get? Should we list it in the tourney respect thread? Or was it barely out of drafts?

If that tournament gets listed, I had the most wins, especially with the match between Smurph and I voted on recently. It was in the second round (semi finals IIRC).
