Just setting this up as a call for judges and to finalize the rules with Akuki. This can serve as a comment thread as well, obviously.

This'll be Spider-Man vs. Caerula Sanguis

Needless to say, I'm not the one taking the manga character.

I'd be good to start this ASAP.

How about starting this on Friday and then ending it on Sunday?

Also here are some suggestions for battlefields:
Hyrule temple in Super Smash Brothers Melee
Colliseum where WWH made the gladiators fight in new york.
will mention others later if you don't care for these.

Good with the time limit.

I'd be fine with Hyrule, except that it's 2D, and I'd rather have a battlefield I've seen in 3D

I didn't read that part of WWH. srug

Any other suggestions?

I'm thinking...

Three judges
No prep
Start .5 km away from each other

I'll judge. And for a battlefield, how does Osaka stadium from CvS2 sound?

Considering that Caerula is a pure close combat fighter .5 kilometers seems rather excessive.


How about the colliseum in Rome? Both fighters start out at opposite ends.

How about in the Danger Room, activated (you can decide the danger level)?
In Arkham Asylum, during a prisoner outbreak?
On Luthor's Kryptonite Continent in Superman: Returns?

.25 Kilometers?

srug I'd prefer a non-arena style environment, but I can do that if nothing else works.

I'd veto Trick, personally. .

As far as the .5 kilometers, it isn't particularly necessary, nor is it excessive.

Spiderman is also pretty much pure close quarters combat plus his webbing.

As far as his webbing goes, what does it matter if you start a half kilometer, or an eighth?

Further - choose the battlefield carefully. I dunno about Caerula, but Spiderman's formidibility can heavily depend on the battlefield. He is much less impressive when in an 'arena' setting versus when he is in an urban one.

Danger room would be allright with me. I don't know its settings very well though. Maybe we say it's set for Nightcrawlers practice period.
As for the start time I'm relatively impatient so I think Friday at 2:00 sounds good if you don't mind.

dur you. Let it be known that I am dubious about her being low meta. I would like her V-mutation bite to be turned off for the sake of fairness.

And I'll co-sign that the arena could decide the match.

Same with me really. Anyways looking forward to it. If you come up with a better battlefield in the meantime just pm me to let me know, I'm signing off for the night.

Also, unless Akuki raises objections, I think it's obvious I won't be using current Spider-Man, as we don't know his power level.

I was thinking Spider-Man, directly prior to OMD.

Nerf her bite. It's a OHK.

I'm not going to nerf her bite, Trick.

I'm not trying to attack you. It's just my opinion and observation, after watching you judge other matches, that you rarely choose to put personal biases aside and vote objectively. .

Any other people want to judge?

Also in regard to spiderman I'm fine with you using the version that was around just before OMD. Are you using the iron spidey version or regular spidey?

Regular Spider-Man.

Allright sounds good then.

We need judges, people.

It's not hard stuff.

Ill judge

I can judge.
Tho im not familiar with Caerula Sanguis.

I volunteer myself once again.

I'm okay with any of the people who have offered to judge so far, so Smurph can make the final decision on the 3.

I'll judge.

^ Don't take that guy. He's a jerk and heavily biased.

I didn't say a word. Just found your word choice interesting...

I'd be fine with Priest, Trick and Air Legend, unless we get other possible judges.

More people would volunteer if there wasn't a manga character here. furious

What are the finalized rules on duration/post count?

Haven't drawn up rules about a post count yet.

Sure, I can do it if Akuki is fine with me.

You should both know, however, I have no idea who the manga character is. Meaning I'm either going to be:

A. Easy to manipulate (bad for you)
or
B. Hard to convince (bad for akuki)

So, if you're both okay with me taking that into consideration, I'm up for it.

Yeah, I'm ok with that.

Unless Akuki objects, I'd put as judges

Trickster, Soljer and Priest.

Im bored enough to judge, if I it be needed.

But I would be in the same boat as Soljer if you wanted me as a judge. Just forewarning.

So we're down to Blair, Soljer and Priest.

So you kick me off and keep Trick.
I don't know either of you, so I wouldn't be biased, plus if you want someone who actually will read everything and judge rationally, I am your best candidate. I'm pretty sure you are familiar with all three judges and some of them might even be your friends, so subconsiously they might tend to be a little biased for you. That is impossible for me since I know very little about either of you.

Now consider my reasoning for kicking off is that you were douchey enough to post that, aruge with me over judge picks, and seemingly insinuate that I'm picking judges based on who would have more personal bias.

You are obviously not good enough to judge from this childish response.

I would never be able to judge but I'm not acting like a tool.

Originally posted by Air Legend

Have fun with your unfair match. stoned You could either refute the points, or, and this I prefer, get out.
Attempting to pick apart a post by focusing on small details, mainly a spelling error and a word lapse, only proves my point about you being a douche. A douche who, apparently, is more likely to throw a tantrum than to just leave gracefully. Maybe I had my reasoning? You certiainly had none to start attacking me because not being chosen hurt your feelings.

Furthermore, given that all three judge have warned that they know nothing about Caerula and that this has equal opportunity to give either side the edge, it seems that I made decent choices in picking fair judges.

Remove yourself from the thread, plz.

I do know a fair bit about most manga, but I've never read Battle Angel Alita (the manga Caerula is from) so I'm also going in blank.

Good luck guys. And please try and set a post limit.

Given that we'll end up debating over the match on MSN with the others, it's not completely fair to have you as a judge... or at least, it could be viewed as such.

No problem. I completely understand. Good luck to both of you.

Ok I posted the battle and my opening post.

Good luck to the both of u Akuki and Smurph.

BTW wats the limit of post for each of you(s)?

I really do think I should be a judge considering im the resident otaku in the comic vs forum

Yeah but your an idiot so it wouldn't make sense.
