Full Capacity
It is assumed that each contestant will fight to his/her best ability, but still within the character's personality, unless specified otherwise. That means they will use any powers at their disposal. For example, even though The Flash doesn't clock each of his own opponents in the first millisecond in his own comic, it is assumed that is a viable tactic on this board since it is a proven fact that he possesses that level of speed.
It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels.
^^That's from the sticky thread that mods created. Even this is kind of contradictory to me as the Flash example is kind of how I judge the Hulk's varying power levels.
I mean, that's exactly what Hulk is known for........getting stronger when he gets angrier. Is it not? Putting caps on that spits all over the Full Capacity rule; it just seems like bias.
I know it's not bias tho, but it does appear that way
