Tournament of Power KMC Version DOS

Wait a minute. We can use anyone?

I hesitated to pick Sentry because people believes that he is a street-leveler but that would be cheating. 😂

If it remains one post only - no rebuttals at all - I would consider entering.

I do think it has something to do with the differences between tourneys and vs. forum battles. So like, Supes v. Thor, I have to side with the boyscout even as a Thor fan. But give me Thor all day in a tourney. More powers, and less weakness exploitation (and there's no need to get into whether those weaknesses truly make him vulnerable...it's enough that some people believe they do). And when the fights become more about the plans and tricks and traps, "Superman can power his way through it" tends to have less importance than in a vs. battle when it comes to judging. Creativity tends to be rewarded, and "I go to 11" isn't seen as creative, even if it's true he has a higher individual ceiling.

I don't use that specific example to troll; it's an example that's been proven true in tourney history. Supes has had zero success while Thor is among the most prolific. I think the only Superman to have any legs in a tourney was WAY back, and it was All-Star Superman (and Blair doing some shenanigans with DNA power cloning as only he knows how). Hell, I'd probably take Majestic before Kal, at least in a team or amalgam tourney. Regardless of how well you argue against k-nite or red sun radiation or magic or whatever, some judge will vote against it.

High herald or lower.

High herald or lower.

I will just continue to blame Brucie and Delph for their bias. That is my plan.

Also, I choose Cyclops, and expect to die in the first round so I won't even try.

No one is picking Tangent Superman, Flash or Superboy Prime ?

They might. Though based on the tiers, SBP would not be allowed. Same with Sentry. Not sure about Tangent.

I agree.

SBP is stronger than a lot of characters.

Sentry is just too overpowered.

Tangent is fine I think.

I'm still the Cyclops guy on this board, so might as well.

Could always get attached to more than one.

I mean, I'm also probably the Colossus guy.

Aquaman for Pr. Start the tourny out in the desert so we can get this over with.

Wouldn't make a huge difference.

If anything goes, and we can do whatever we like as long as it ends in our opponents defeat, I choose Wally West Flash.

Is merged Genis-Vell high herald?

If he beats me, then yes 👆

Id, I hope this turns into a tourney now. Have psyched myself up. I've told my wife I'm going to be ignoring her for a couple of days.

But a one post tourney would be great, actually. No need for hosts or whatever, just an OP detailing the rules (or lack of, anything goes) and we're set.

I'd like to remind all that Wally is ginger and as such, has no soul.

Let your inner Nerdism out. Deep dig in into your bias and pick a High Herald Class character and lower, to become your avatar. The character you rep.

Rules:
First Come First Serve.
Other members can not double dip.

Depending on the successes this topic goes...I may kick-start a free for all tournament.

Maybe.

Never been in a tourney, and I don't know what "DOS" means in this context,
but ...

Wonder Woman.

👆 good to have you on board.

And I know it's rare,but I'm not being sarcastic. Genuinely mean it. It would be interesting.

How is the tournament managed ? Is that alike a Battlezone ?

Id [probably] will make an opening post, and then we'll all have one post to say our strategy, then judges will read all of the posts and make a judgement on who is more likely to win.

He'll let us know.

----

I propose that if we have this many contestants, we make the opening post 2 posts [no rebuttal, one after another], to be able to address most of what we're up against.

If we have one paragraph for each adversary, to be able to at least scarcely address each.
