Low Herald Tournament Odds

That's the speed cap.

So a minute seems fine. After all, if a boxer is out of a fight for 1 min, he's pretty dead.

but lets say someone chose magik. she could port to limbo for a minute, heal, do...whatever, then come back. a minute is a LONG time and if someone can also move at lightspeed, you can do a LOT in a minute....

i think it's up to id to decide what is, in his opinion, in the best "spirit of the match". it's tricky.

Exactly....but he/she is out of the fight whilst his/her opponent is twiddling their thumbs.

With your example, if I'm sat around for a whole minute waiting on Magik to come back...Magik is pretty much out of the fight.

Just ban dimensional BFR, which it sounds like Id did, and stipulate that phasing can't be indefinite. Judges and common sense should be able to take it from there. Only Atom presents a challenge at that point. And isn't he banned?

👆

Atom is banned.

He is on he nono list.

All in all, this is going smooth.

It's alright. I'd avoid it during the height of summer if you aren't used to high temperatures. My first summer was a sweaty, uncomfortable mess.

We're in Australia, The country is like 80% desert.
In Summer where I live, 37 to 40 degree celcius and 80% humidity is pretty much the norm. A coll/cold day in winter is 16 to 18 degrees (only get's lower at night).

.....I honestly still don't have a team idea, selection. Should be fun to rapidly and frantically brainstorm ideas before tomorrow morning. 😬

My only good idea involved someone who is banned, and included a strategy that isn't explicitly banned, but would have been once it became clear what I was doing. So it was an easy decision to judge for me.

But I know that feeling, going to bed without a clear draft plan in mind. Always fun to come up with stuff under pressure.

that's when i make my best choices. ❌

Doomsday and Cassandra Nova were banned

Vulcan, Gravitron, darkness, magneto, Xavier and Exodus were up for discussion

graviton, cassie and dd were banned outright at the start. xavier is out via the ban thread (which banned WAY too many characters, btw--WAY too many....no WAY nova should have been banned) exodus, magneto and darkness?? i'm not sure i recall seeing them come up, but....i couldn't possibly be more opposed to banning those 3. mags is like the poster child for this tier....we have enough sketchy bans. unless anyone has some really legit concerns for whatever reason, can we get off the banning talk? everyone has had more than enough time to scope it out and make cases. we keep going there won't be anyone left to draft.

I didn't nominate any except exodus.

Mostly cause we had banned enough characters as it is.

Yeah, I lived in Australia for a year, stayed t my cousin's house in Broken hill inhte middle of summer, not somewhere I'd choose to live.

Australia is more of a dry heat though, Here (Guangdong, next to Hong Kong) it's the humidity that f**ks you up.

lol... me too. I've had plenty of mini ideas, but nothing seems to stick.

....

On the other issue, I always assumed Magneto was Mid Herald tier... he's not?

afaik mags has always been considered low herald. shrug

he could hang with some mids, (like MANY low heralds could...) but no way he should be a mid herald--least not imo.

Yeah, I guess.

Just that he's generally more competent and frequently closer to winning than most other "bad guy" low heralds.

Is Binary or captain marvel in the low herald tier?

No to binary
Cap Marvel Danvers, yeah

The original captain Marvel.

Say how about Quasar? I remember u using em a few years back Scoob, does he make it in low or mid?

I used him (Quasar) in the high herald tourneys. Twice. (Won both times)

Maybe Phyla could be low herald... Not sure. (probably use the GL ruling in this case)

Yeah! Def. not low..

Hmm! Got somethin in mind, but the no prep is effy
