Character: Alter Darkness


The Darkness
Asylum


Fun facts:

Asylums II's body is a portal through Darkforce dimension, once open this realm flows out, engulf then occupies any plane of existence.

Asylums Darkforce differ in that by nature it gives off telepathic assault with the purpose of mind control.

Attack Strategy:

Alter Darkness opens up a rift the size of Manhattan.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/NEWWAEANN-003-02.jpg.html

Then summons up a near infinite amount of Darklings the eye can see as canon fodder within the rift.

http://imageshack.com/f/evthedarkness38p14p15j

The strategy is plain and simple: Remain hidden in the rift till someone inters within the now Darkforce realm which grows larger, only stopping when the
battlefield fully becomes it and within it a near infinite Darklings reside awaiting to pounce for an attack at command, not to mention that this pure darkness is
auto-tp by nature. Alter Darkness also uses his vision to see future events and thus plan the best course of action/ counter measure and since darkness is his to shape,
everything is nigh possible.

"Id"
LordofBrooklyn: Zauriel & Nova Prime

WELCOME TO OBLIVION!!!!

Nova Prime and Zauriel present a dangerous combination of speed, power, invulnerability, and a myriad of other abilities. It is these facts that will allow Zaunova to prove victorious against the 2 other combatants he faces in this matchup.

Resources

Both Nova and Zauriel have a unique ability to analyze both the strengths and weaknesses of those they encounter through scientific and divine means respectively.

The Worldmind-

http://i.imgur.com/bZJGBuO.jpg

The most pivotal advantage in this matchup!

The Worldmind allows Nova to not only instantly assess the strengths and weakness of an opponent it also provides precise information on how to attack given this knowledge.

http://i.imgur.com/ANKIUp3.jpg

This grants Zaunova the ability to remove the strongest of the enemies, Mr. MF, as a threat first and proceed from there.

Speed

Nova and Zauriel both have a distinct advantage when it comes to speed.

They've demonstrated this ability in both travel and combat.

http://i.imgur.com/EMw7F8K.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/keiLLBu.jpg

Offense

The Flaming Sword

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_kqDgI8t_jU/UPd8EFG_sYI/AAAAAAAAjwg/1TKBvGe8FMA/s1600/zauriel.jpg

Zauriel's Flaming sword will allow Zaunova an edge against both of the adversaries he faces.

THE BATTLE

Zaunova opens by using a gravimetric pulse at lightspeed to knock both Mr. MF and Dark Asylum off balance. The Worldmind calculates the exact point in which to teleport behind Mr. MF and behead him with The Flaming Sword. Dark Asylum responds with a darkness based attack, one The Worldmind has anticipated all along.

Zaunova blasts Dark Asylum with divine light, an attack given The Darkness power that should render Dark Asylum powerless. The Flaming Sword has the ability to cut through anything. Whatever shield or construct would be meaningless against Zaunova while Dark Asylum was at full strength, in this diminished condition they stand no chance.

Zaunova collects yet another scalp by killing Dark Asylum.

In Closing

Zaunova's countless years as a warrior angel of The Presence combined with the Power of The Nova Force is too much of an obstacle for Mr. MF and Dark Asylum to overcome. The opening salvo is at lightspeed, a level which neither combatant can match before being assaulted. There is no feeling out period necessary as The Worldmind provides pin-point precision in applying the means to defeat each foe. The Darkness based power of Dark Asylum is especially susceptible to the light creating abilities of both Nova and Zauriel.

leonidas: Absolon Mercator & Forge


INTRODUCTIONS: first, absolon mercator--mr. m. in his own words:

http://i.imgur.com/zvGVhDM.jpg

here is a little more:

http://i.imgur.com/XHy6HhM.png

http://i.imgur.com/EPMtU2u.png

here's more--from BISHOP:

http://i.imgur.com/ibCh3Lf.jpg

hi praise indeed from someone as experienced as bishop....

so, everyone has a VERY healthy respect for his power....."but leo, why would you use this guy?? he's all talk, he has no FEATZZ!!1!!"

laughing out loud well, while it's true he didn't last too long (stupid marvel...) he DID manage to amass some pretty cool feats. in this scan he changes a mutant into a human:

http://i.imgur.com/RQp4Y44.jpg

here he effortlessly disassembles the wall keeping some of the 198 in their compound:

http://i.imgur.com/BzTzn00.png

here is a classic--walking on water:

http://i.imgur.com/HxbCMdc.png

here is the scan of him handling that sentinel that was mentioned in an earlier scan:

http://i.imgur.com/7EHKiFI.png

http://imgur.com/HNrsjGn

lastly, here is a very simple scan, that nevertheless serves to show one of the reasons these guys mesh so well together. mr m never liked to use his powers because, as a kid, he hurt someone with them. instead, for years, he made a living fixing anything mechanical:

http://i.imgur.com/LIso5sQ.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/ATsp2nU.jpg

there is quite a bit more that i will bring out as we go along but i think those scans give a good indication of what he is capable of. mercator manipulates both matter and energy, and can affect both organic and mechanical objects. oh, there is one more scan i want to show. in this scan, he actually creates a PTERODACTYL and then, when he fears it will get hungry, EVOLVES it into some butterflies--he has a thing for butterflies and they appear many times throughout his limited appearances. note too that they don't go away after he's done. he also tells the kid he might make something more interesting later...lol:

http://i.imgur.com/Ztee2Rx.png

his creations are instantaneous, done by manipulating the molecules in the air. sooo, yeah. omega matter manipulation: it's cool. thumb up

now, forge. the MAKER. a little info on his powers:

http://i.imgur.com/GyBLFXG.jpg

even as the words are said, he's inventing the time machine.... but he is more than just an inventor as charles xavier comes to realize:

http://i.imgur.com/zZAM4cA.jpg

forge LITERALLY sees reality as a set of building blocks. his power allows him to reshape those blocks into.....whatever he needs. the problem with forge is--he still has to spend time MAKING his inventions, and he still needs the raw materials to build with. in this scan, he actually builds a device that RETURNS storm's powers to her--using only the material found in his cybernetic leg!

http://i.imgur.com/JgeITvu.jpg

that is a CRAZY feat. of course, she lost her powers thanks to forge, but, more on that later... the main point is this: paired now with the powers of an omega matter manipulator, raw materials and time are no longer issues he has to concern himself with. forge grants stability to mr m, and lets him see reality in a way he NEVER could before. in essence, forge has always been able to SEE the building blocks of reality. now, paired with a guy who can literally create DINOSAURS and BUTTERFLIES out of thin air, he has the ability to completely CONTROL them. smile

here is one more very impressive piece of tech forge whipped up while hanging out in x-factor's shuttle craft as polaris distracted the magical entity STRANGE:

http://i.imgur.com/yQYIQ2Q.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/Ii19et3.jpg

he literally made that from gear lying on the shuttle in MINUTES. there is almost no limit to what forge is capable of creating.

STRATEGY:

okay, so, now that you know a little about my guys, my strategy should be blindingly obvious: using mr m's ability, ima make weapons to kill everybody to death!1!! big grin

in the event of a SCREAM, the very first thing i do is erect a force field. if there is no scream, i start quickly reconfiguring my bionic hand to project a CLOAKING SHIELD of the sort forge designed for the x-men's BLACKBIRD, for example, that allows for complete invisibility:

http://i.imgur.com/XdliJUC.jpg

in the scan you can see clearly that they only become visible as they begin to de-cloak. incidentally, that cloaking device allowed them to get the drop on MENTALLO, a mutant who normally can detect invisible opponents:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentallo

forge has also designed scramblers, interference transmitters and inhibitor fields the size of a small wallet several times to prevent himself and others from being detected. several examples are available if needed. as far as his hand? forge can and has almost instantly reconfigured his bionic limbs which act is some ways as plot devices. here are a couple quick examples:

http://i.imgur.com/YM3NDAc.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/QyyUzat.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/guWmj9M.jpg

the cane is actually pretty cool because it appears to literally come from nowhere... anyway, there are many other examples of what it can do including acting as a blaster, finger laser, knock out gas emitter and hologram projector among others. and all that's WITHOUT an omega matter manipulator....

anyway, the cloak will render me invisible to ALL forms of detection--visual, telepathic and energy-based.

cloak complete, mr forge will also create a TELEPORTATION DEVICE. he's had loads of experience in that area, but i'm thinking something similar to what he created for x-force that allowed them to teleport across PARALLEL WORLDS following deadpool.... won't be hopping across worlds of course, just showing how great his tech CAN be:

http://i.imgur.com/jJN2zIR.jpg

cloak and teleporter ready, i will quietly phase into the ground and attempt to approach the others.

ideally, zauriel will go nuts when he sees all the demons/darklings the darkness summons as i assume asylum opens a massive portal for them to come through. as they engage each other, i will be attempting, if possible, to make my way between them. then, depending on what is happening, while i'm still cloaked and intangible i will LIKELY do 1 of 2 things:

(1) i will whip together an AUTO BOMB but unlike the one forge created before, this one will act as a NUKE which i will detonate at the most opportune moment:

http://i.imgur.com/eEO1uNV.jpg

http://imgur.com/zvGVhDM

http://i.imgur.com/uIghZj2.png

the power of a nuke sometimes get undersold. the blast radius of the fireball would exceed 3km and burn around 150 000 000 degrees. the light from the blast would be seen for miles and miles, and the sheer destruction would be at least city sized... the colosseum would be disintegrated and there would not be a place within 3km of the blast that was not lit up like the surface of the sun. if nova is shielded he might be able to handle the blast, ( i'd need proof) but he would certainly be stunned at the least. i have no idea whether ambi's guy has the durability feats to survive a nuke.....

or (2) mr. forge recreates his NETRALIZER BEFORE nuking them. he can either create the raw materials by simply transmuting the air into the necessary raw materials, (which should not be an issue of any kind...), or, if you'd rather, he can simply reshape and replace the tech that already exists in his bionic leg the same way forge created the un-neutralizer and the same way mercator repaired tech for years. i showed mr m altering the molecular structure of water so everyone could walk across the lake. here he changes the structure of the interior of a SENTINEL to PUTTY. lol

http://i.imgur.com/98JRmyf.png

you already know he made a living dealing with and fixing anything mechanical. now, with forge's vision, he can reshape things, especially mechanical things, in ways he never could have before. as for the neutralizer:

http://i.imgur.com/hcy87UW.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/xelix9w.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/fD2ngTt.jpg

the neutralizer eliminates the super powers of any and all super humans in the world. you saw it rob the dire wraiths of not only their shape changing, but also all their magic, and you saw it take away storm's power. forge was terrified of the weapon and did not want to give it to the government because he feared they might copy it and wipe out all super humans....

depending on how things appear to be going, i may elect to use the nuke first, or i may (if i feel the opportunity is present) use the neutralizer first. it will completely be dependent on what the others have elected to try and do.

given the almost instantaneous creative ability of mr forge (recall, i'm not creating anything NEW, just remaking things he's ALREADY made...), i have....SEVERAL options left on the table should, for some unforeseen reason, this opening strategy need to be changed. by cloaking and phasing into the ground, i give myself a good chance to scope out the others, while at the same time, leaving myself a host of offensive options.

POST ONE

My enemies are flailing about trying to cling to life.

I will be merciful and put them out of their misery now.

1) The Rift of Darklings- There are so many ways to deal with this but this seems like the most direct. When Ambient opens his rift of Darklings and they pour out, they will find themselves here.

THE STARGATE OF DEATH

http://i.imgur.com/ackLVY7.jpg

Zaunova Prime sees the rift and simply places a Stargate at that point.

Thus this becomes the roach motel for Ambient's minions.

DARKLINGS GO IN BUT THEY DON'T COME OUT!

2.Psionic Attacks- Ambient mentioned Darklings and telepathic attacks.

There is only one problem with that course of action.

Zaunova Prime is IMMUNE to psionic attacks!

http://i.imgur.com/ugItP6E.jpg

The psionic attacks will not take control of Zaunova Prime nor deter him from destroying both Ambient and Leonidas.

Zaunova Prime 1 Psionic attacks 0

3) The Auto-Bomb Offensive- Leonidas, THE COWARDLY cool , has decided that his first strategy is to hide and set off an Auto-Bomb. Now, Zaunova has the means to detect him at all times but lets give Leonidas the benefit of the doubt.

If the Auto-Bomb goes off it will do NOTHING to Zaunova Prime.

Behold!

http://i.imgur.com/M72Um0o.jpg

The Auto-Bomb offensive goes up in smoke along with Leonidas' hope of victory!

In short, Zaunova Prime systemically defeats or negates all of Ambient's and Leonidas' strategies for victory.

leonidas
NUMERO UN

so, always nice when you see some of your predictions come true. lol let's see if i can take advantage of a couple key errors my opponents have made, shall we?

AMBIENT:

to sum up: basically, he's letting dark force flow through him to fill the battlefield and he's sort of...hanging out in it i guess. confused then, inside all the darkforce energy, he's summoning a bunch of darklings. he also plans to blast us and have the darkness try to engulf us. thing is, the darkforce isn't all that difficult to get rid of. firestar basically one shot asylum (called DARKLING at the time....) and all the df energy in the area when she got po'd:

http://imgur.com/1ueOELD

http://i.imgur.com/v0jUSfF.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/IAu1WJ4.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/IU75v9A.jpg

even the black knight's neuro sword was able to keep it at bay. the df energy also takes time to progress. in the arc he's referencing, it spread through OTHER df users as well. it's not like a hole the size of manhattan opened and darkness just...poured out like a tidal wave. regardless, one nuclear blast would end this FAR and away more easily than firestar ever could. given it's very limited durability, the heat and light from the nuke would destroy the darkness, and everything in it.

not even sure it would be necessary though, thanks to lob and his abrupt change of strategy in his second post.... never a good idea, swapping strategy like that so early on, but, in this case i approve as there is a every chance he took out ambient in one swoop. thumb up

LOB

lob has 2 major problems going on: (1) it is damn near impossible to follow his seemingly random offense, and (2) i'm rather familiar with nova.

i'll try and sort out his posts and point out the errors. initially all he was doing was a wide ranging gravimetric pulse at both ambient and i. given that we're on opposite ends of the BF and that he wouldn't even be able to see us, that attack is likely completely useless. it wouldn't even reach my raised shield, let alone have a chance of harming me. it was cute that he viewed me as the greater threat though. lol but....he said something about teleporting to me? confused neither zauriel nor nova can teleport.... so, to sum up: in that opening, he blasts wildly, then tries to do something he can't do. no expression definitely not the most effective strategy....

fortunately, he completely changed things in his second post! lol now, it appears instead of blasting wildly, or maybe AFTER it.... confused and "teleporting" to me, he instead focuses his initial attention on ambient and stargate's that sumb!tch to smithereens!!1!

like i said, i like it because i see no way for ambient to survive that attack. otoh, i was fortunate enough to have raised a force field around myself to protect me. i also have the option of simply turning intangible should the pressure on the field become too great, allowing the force to pass right through me. the best though is that his change of focus gives me ample time to play out my own strategy, exactly as i outlined in my OP. i raise a shield, should be able to see the darkforce buidling, will def see nova's wild blast then watch him approach ambient. as that is going on, i make myself undetectable to visual and energy-based senses (worldmind) and create my teleport device, then phase through the colosseum floor. when i again check things out, i'd likely see ambient has been killed by the gate, and nova scanning for me. at this point i create the NEUTRALIZER for myself, teleport behind him, and shoot him. zaunova is depowered and useless. battle over.

let's say instead, that nova is flying around at superspeed as he scans for me. light speed would be impossible for him. in these close quarters, he'd be lucky to be able to move around at the speed of sound. close-quarter speed is not his forte:

http://i.imgur.com/34FRXAQ.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/6vms09n.jpg

and the area we are fighting in is MUCH smaller than that huge canyon he was chasing darkhawk through. result: much of nova's speed will be useless to him here. it would be simple as pie to just rig up an eyepiece that would let me track his movements and blast him from the sky. he's created dozens of such devices for the GAME ROOM, DANGER ROOM and BLACKBIRD.

of course, perhaps even easier, i could just adjust the AOE of the neutralizer. forge did that once already when he created his NEO-NEUTRALIZER:

http://i.imgur.com/cvtbBws.jpg

it doesn't need to be NEARLY that size, obviously, just large enough to engulf the area of what's left of the colosseum. speed advantage negated, zaunova depowered and at my complete mercy. smile

now, because i still have room, let's look at lob's FIRST (now altered) offensive strategy in the event parts of it come into play later for whatever reason. it's a little messier, but equally easy to counter. recall he blasts wildly, then decides to come at me. he can't teleport, so he needs to spend some time scanning for me. i've shielded instantly, then created my cloaking device. it's possible he gets some sort of read on my location before i finish, so he may find me or have a good general sense of where i am. he seems to think he just slices through my force field because a bio says the sword cuts 'anything'. but we need more than narration and bios. so, scans of the sword cutting...anything special, would be helpful. it was damn near useless against general eiling--superman's hv did FAR better than zauriel's sword...

***we interrupt this rebuttal for anIMPORTANT NOTE: yet another error lob has made revolves around a lack of SHIELDS. at no point, in EITHER post, has he raised a shield. that's...not good. no

because of that, whether he finds scans of the sword or not, prolly doesn't matter. as he approached me, forge would get a look at zaunova's unshielded (oops...) helmet. and worldmind isn't the only one who can see weaknesses:

http://i.imgur.com/HJgVeM0.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/6Z9qtmW.jpg

now, given my matter manip powers, mr. MFer (heh) could simply crush the helmet, and with it, zaunova's head. if i can't do that, i could just turn it into a block of superstrong metal. i can tell you for a fact there is NOTHING, anywhere, to suggest the helmet could resist an omega level matter manipulator.... worldmind would be gone and as he tried to free himself from the helmet-become-prison, i could create the NEUTRALIZER, shoot him. easy-peasy. should he again try switching strategies lol there are PLENTY of other options available to me that i can expand on next post.

SUMMARY

ambient has been dealt with via stargate or nukes. lob made too many costly errors (speed isn't what he thought, strategy swapping, no feats for the sword, no teleporting, no SHIELDS RAISED....) in this match. otoh i have too many options, (regardless of which strategy lob's going with). i can hide from his scanners, negate his speed, deprive him of his greatest asset in worldmind, turn his own armor against him, and finally depower him. i do thank him for taking out ambient though, before making his own way to the exit. thumb up

LordofBrooklyn
SECOND POST

The Lecherous Leonidas has found the courage to respond.

No matter..

I WILL CRUSH HIM

1) Teleportation- This is exactly what I stated Zaunova would do at lightspeed.

http://i.imgur.com/wKkJmVv.jpg

A stargate can and has accomplished the same thing.

Characterizing it as "Teleporting" was incorrect but the effect is most certaintly the same.

In the words of Shakespeare, " Teleportation by any other name STILL kills Ambient and Leonidas"

2) Speed- I can smell the fear of Leonidas through my monitor!

To the issue at hand, ONE, I repeat, ONE, scan of the application of Nova's speed doesn't negate any aspect of my argument.

I can provide numerous scans of Nova both traveling and fighting at lightspeed and below. The range of speed he can accomplish far exceeds that of both Ambient and Leonidas. Most importantly, he can ACT faster than they can REACT.

Here is a challenge for Leonidas.

Present examples of Mr. M and Forge dealing with attacks at lightspeed or near lightspeed.

I'll wait.

Not to kill the drama but those scans will never come. cool

Nova maintains the clear tactical advantage in speed and Leo learns a bitter lesson.

Speed Kills and Ambient and Leo are the newest victims.

3) Shielding- This is TRUE evil! evil face

I didn't fail to raise my shields, I used the tactical advantage presented by the rules.

I launched a gravimetric attack at lightspeed.

You raised a shield and hid.

This is combat and a quickdraw scenario, the lightspeed attack negates your shields every single time.

If I allow for the shields I can still get inside.

As shown, if Zaunova can enter and exit a star using a wormhole and stargates, he can certaintly do it to one of your shields.

4) The Sword- The anxiety is really getting to Leonidas.

Look at the intial post and what do you see Zauriel doing with the sword?

There is only ONE feat I need to post with the sword but there must be some theater to all this.

I spoke about the fear of Leonidas and it was not a passing comment.

Behold!

" In the event of a scream"- Leonidas the Craven
Leonidas has reason to fear the "Scream " and I will show you why.

You can concede now, Leo, and make this all go away or you can force me to..

BRING THE PAIN!

Darkforce blast or Darkforce construct; used on New Warriors and Dr. Strange

To sum it up this fight is mine to control, wither my character is on defend or on attack he retains control of the battle field and control is win .. lullz

Post Numero Uno

Ambient vs LOB'Ssss

LOB's battle strat, a speed blitz. A very flawed plan to begin, as this would literally bring him to the maw of the lion's den, not only will he be flying blind as he enters the Darkforce realm, he would also be unable to locate my character, making his initial strategy moot and since i see clearly in the shadow and can shape the dark as i please, he would fall to my attack via Darkforce construct/TP control or just plain beat down.

Darkness can see everything in the Dark..

Darkforce construct..

Then TP assault - The application of my characters tp differs in that its delivery requires contact of Darkforce force (tar like substance).

As oppose to the norm TP via the use of psionic energy as shown in LOB's tp defense.

http://i.imgur.com/ugItP6E.jpg

You see it was the helmet (worldmind) that shunt off or block the psionic tranmission, the Darkforce tp has no such weakness as it is a direct contact application and since LOB's is swimming in this substance once he entered within the Darkforce realm he false victim to it and mine to control.

As for LOB's STARGATE OF DEATH we'd have to look at Id's no BFR rule ..

Good for 1 second.

Ambient vs Leonidas

Clever, clever Leo - that NETRALIZER was unexpected though it was accounted for, case i face the like's of Psycho Gundam's characters. You see the Darkforce energy is immune to matter/ energy manipulation as shown when Sersi, one of the best matter manipulator in Marvel Universe couldn't directly affect the tar like substance - the Darkforce energy is made off and from the looks of that Netralizer - it is a energy/ matter manipulation tech therefore its use is nerf inside my realm as my character is amored in that tar like substance.

Sersi matter manipulation couldn't affect Darkforce energy.

Alter Darkness is armored in Darkforce energy.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/NewWar-34-22.jpg.html

As for Leo's Nukes, the blast can be avoided by my character porting out, porting the blast / flung towards the edge of battle field, or simply tank it..

Darkness can port via shadow portal anywhere, where a semblance of darkness is present within the battle field.

Since I've shown my counter defense against Leo's battle strat, Its time my character goes on offensive.

Jackie can see anything where there is dark/ shadow, the Darkness entity can show him this around his vicinity. all that i needed do is wait for an opportune moment where he uncloaked/ uphase to use his matter manipulation ability which i then attack via shadow/ darkforce manipulation and darklings pile up, not to mention my gaining control of LOB's character via darkforce/ Darkness tp control and in the mean while the Darkforce realm spreading and growing tell there is nothing but Darkness is left.

Jackie sees everything that is in darkness in his vicinity.

I've explained why Firestar's blast is so effective against Asylum in above, It is her specific mutant microwave energy signature - a kin to Superman's krytonite. The Darkforce energy is like water, maleable but unlike it it's undestructible.

So to sum it up:
I've countered everything the two opponents could master to attack; from LOB"S speed blitz to Leo's Auto'Bomb/ Nitralizer, yet they have no counter to my taking control over battle field, turning it nothing but darkness

POST THREE

Addled Ambient finally joins the fray.

This will be short and especially brutal.

1) The Worldmind- As mentioned previously, The Worldmind provides meticulous analysis of an opponents strengths and weaknesses. It also allows Zaunova to traverse the cosmos through stars, galactic storms, space armadas etc.

What does aimless Ambient provide as a defense against this?

Zaunova can't see in the dark!

laughing out loud

Now, Ambient would already be dead as the blast from The Stargate of death destroys him utterly but I will deal with this more directly.

An omni-directional blast from Zaunova destroys the Darklings instantly.

http://i.imgur.com/YzDCDOZ.jpg

Zaunova creates some light

http://i.imgur.com/cmhliCB.jpg

The light offensive directly leads to my second point.

2)Weaknesses- There is no Blade rule involving these amalgams.

Specifically, The Darkness is rendered powerless by light. I repeat, The Darkness is rendered powerless by light. Ambient has added this weakness to his character as well.

The Worldmind easily recognizes this and utilizes the light offensively.

3) The Stargate of Death- I guess the pain and bitterness of impending defeat has led Ambient to this act of desperation.

The Stargate of death is just that!

1)As shown in the scan, the Stargate is being used OFFENSIVELY. The Darklings are being destroyed by the blast and as a consequence, Ambient would be as well.

2) Darklings are not Ambient- Even if I were using the Stargate to BFR Darklings, that does not equate to using it to remove Ambient.

I prefer beheading Ambient with the Flaming Sword Braveheart style! cool

4) Immunity is Immunity- This was good for a laugh. Ambient the broken, claims that since he delivers his telepathic attack in a tactile manner that makes it more effective.

There is no way out!

Immunity to telepathic attack is just that.

1) Mental telepathy
2) Tactile telepathy
3) Telepathy ointment

It doesn't matter as Zaunova is immune to all of it.

Ambient is totally overwhelmed and has no means of defense or survival.

Find peace in death Dark Asylum!

POST THE SECOND

and so we're finally well and truly underway! let's take a look at each of my opponents' stances one at a time--and why they fail. heh

AMBIENT

tbh, i'm not understanding quite how he's avoiding the STARGATE OF DEATH... ambi quoted the BFR rule, implying....what? as he said, LOB was not going for BFR and the energy release alone should kill him...

but, let's assume for the moment he lives. once i've dispensed with LOB, i can easily fashion my AUTO-BOMB nuke, or several of them, and detonate them. that scan ambient showed of darkness tanking a blast seemed...odd to me. seemed like that power was directed at someone else and wasn't intended to harm jackie. regardless, that little explosion is less than nothing compared with a nuke or 6. again, the blast radius of the fireball of ONE LARGE NUKE is about 3Km. i would literally turn the BF into the interior of the sun. there would be no darkness for KILOMETERS as anything man-made would be disintegrated in the blast. i mean here, jackie can't even outright overwhelm someone surrounded by THIS amount of light:

http://imageshack.com/f/0e22577635j

"i can't get near her, i have an allergy to light..."

i'll go out on a limb and suggest jackie has nothing in the way of feats to suggest he could withstand this type of attack. maybe some uber future jackie does, but not the jackie in THIS tourney.... he could try teleporting some bombs (not the stargate though) but there is simply no way he could avoid them all IF he was even able to almost randomly guess that he SHOULD. the bomb is a small sphere (think a T-sphere) and he'd be pretty busy trying to survive. hard to imagine he would just randomly start teleporting them if he even noticed them. then of course there is the little fact that if i remain phased and cloak, there is LITERALLY nothing he can do. again, i'd suggest there is no proof jackie could do anything against my immaterial form. his only "defense"--wait until i uncloak/unphase. no expression

problem is, there is no reason i'd do either. ever:

http://i.imgur.com/LoUR21F.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/af0TXnz.jpg

using multiple powers is nothing to mr m. IF ambi convinces anyone he can survive the STARGATE OF DEATHSSZZ!!11!, i see no way he can survive the NUKES, and even if by some miracle he can, he STILL can't touch me. as an aside, i see no reason whatsoever he would be immune to the NEUTRALIZER. recall, it was able to depower ALL SUPERHUMANS. everyone:

http://i.imgur.com/1JdriK8.jpg

EVERYONE. i don't think it would come to that, because he'd be dead before i needed the neutralizer, but it WOULD work. especially in conjunction with this little device i'd remake in my leg:

http://i.imgur.com/NlctzRb.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/58pbStf.jpg

the mutant inhibitor would definitely shut down asylum's ability to summon darkness rendering half your amalgam useless anyway.

TO SUM UP: ambient has no real answers for the massive AOE attacks he's facing here. either the stargate or the nukes would certainly end him as there are no feats to back up his surviving either one. he can't attack me in any way that would matter even if he DID live through the blast while i would have all the time in the world to take him out.

result: ambient's goose is cooked, likely in a nuclear oven. smile

LOB

lecherous leonidas says you should maybe consider granting yourself a new title: throne of the house of EL O EL!! lol

that second post? facepalm

let's start with his "TELEPORTATION"

firstly, that wasn't teleporting--nor anything analogous. he opened a WORMHOLE. but to do it, he needed a NEUTRON STAR:

http://i.imgur.com/sfllrrJ.jpg

so, unless id dropped a neutron star into the BF when i wasn't looking, that ain't happening. and WHY did nova have to resort to a tactic that almost killed richie? because a stargate couldn't penetrate a force field that was placed around kree space:

http://i.imgur.com/2PcdV2w.jpg

so, the notion of...."teleporting" inside my force field is ridiculous on multiple levels. but hey, if you're gonna be wrong, might as well go big. thumb up

SPEED

nova IS fast. i know better than most. but i also know the VAST majority of his speed feats are travel feats. he has some good close quarter feats, i won't deny it, but they are nowhere CLOSE to light speed. in fact, they are more than likely sub-sonic, akin to spiderman or classic quicksilver. if you had more space to work with, like a BF a parsec across, sure you'd be tougher to tag. in this BF? your speed is SEVERELY negated. don't believe me? prove it. show some close quarter combat speed feats. i can list ALL of them, btw, and can tell you unequivocally there are none that demonstrate speed beyond what i've outlined. gotta know your character AND your battlefield oh lordoflaughs.

what's that mean then? recall, he has restated his strat--now the first thing he is doing is opening a stargate on darkness. that gives me time to do what i've said all along. while he opens the gate (which takes a few seconds at least) i would have AMPLE time to raise shield, create my tech and phase. at this point, he is essentially dead. he can no longer find me and i've shown that FORGE is able to detect weaknesses in all things mechanical. after he killed ambient, i could simply spend a couple seconds studying him and it is entirely possible forge might discover a weak point in worldmind's network--namely a weakness to a specific form of radiation:

http://i.imgur.com/DuVHXTr.jpg

child's play for forge to recreate a burst to simulate and broadcast that type of radiation and take out worldmind. without worldmind, zaunova would be flying around blind, giving me ample time to take him out in any number of ways as outlined in the previous post.

so, speed is nerfed in the confined space of the BF, his close-quarter speed is nowhere CLOSE to his travel speed and he completely negated any advantage his speed MAY have given him by stopping at the start to open a stargate! lol though, again, thanks for that. thumb up

3) Shielding- This is TRUE evil! evil face

I didn't fail to raise my shields, I used the tactical advantage presented by the rules.

I launched a gravimetric attack at lightspeed.

You raised a shield and hid.

This is combat and a quickdraw scenario, the lightspeed attack negates your shields every single time.

everyone sees that, yes? he did NOT raise shields.

his attacks have changed so many times it's hard to keep track (gravimetric pulse, teleporting, stargating...) but, do not let THAT bit of info slip to the sidelines. he elected to try a quickdraw, even though this is NOT a quickdraw scenario, at all, not knowing nova can't actually attack at light speed, at all, or teleport, at all. but wait, then he decided he was opening a stargate anyway...?

whew..... good luck to anyone trying to sort out that mess. at this point he's throwing everything out there he can peruse from the respect thread and hoping something will stick. doesn't matter. without a shield i can end him in any number of ways. the NEUTRALIZER is simple, but it may even be easier to simply toss in a nuke as he finishes up the stargate and he's trying to scan for me. the nuke would double up on the stargate and there is no chance zaunova could avoid the blast, especially UNSHIELDED (throw out the scan he showed earlier of a SHIELDED nova surviving in galactus's machine....). simple as that. smile not raising a shield, and relying on speed that he has GROSSLY over-estimated, are mistakes that simply CANNOT go unpunished here.

incidentally, what you DID say in your OP was that you were using a GRAVIMETRIC PULSE at light speed. which...makes no sense. but it certainly is NOT demonstrated in your "teleportation" scan that you showed to support it. at least know what kind of attack you're going for, man! careless, careless el o el....

the SWORD:

not that it would get this far, but:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bdVR-JIDi2g/TRue6bBGWXI/AAAAAAAAUc0/kZG1ylWiM_8/s1600/zauriel%2521.jpg

2 random scans showing the sword certainly does NOT cut 'any bonds'. no reason to think it could cut my force field at all as it is basically feat-less. and the SCREAM would never come as you'd be dead long before you used it. unless you wanna change your strat AGAIN...? lol

RESULT: LOB is KIA.

my offense has remained consistent throughout this match, (force field then tech and phase) and neither of my opponents has been able to counter it. i'm immaterial and undetectable and have near instant access to weapons that WILL kill each of them. if you listen closely, you can hear the fat lady warming up....

POST FOUR

The lecherous wretch, Leonidas, is on life-support.

It is time for the .....

DEATHBLOW

1) Flaming Death- Lowly Leonidas claimed that The Flaming Sword is featless. Now in times of great stress, like getting brutalized by me in a battlezone, ones memory gets hazy.

I posted this feat in my FIRST post and I will do so now again.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_kqDgI8t_jU/UPd8EFG_sYI/AAAAAAAAjwg/1TKBvGe8FMA/s1600/zauriel.jpg

Zauriel just used The Flaming sword to CUT THROUGH THE DIMENSIONAL BARRIER BETWEEN HEAVEN AND THE EARTHLY REALM.

Yes, folks, Zauriel performed a feat that definitively removes ALL claims by Addled Ambient and Leonidas that their puny shields will save them.

Craven Leonidas claims that he will "phase" and be intangible. Thus protecting him from all attacks.

I want all of you reading this to reach out and do the following.

Touch the barrier between the natural and supernatural. You couldn't do it because it is "intangible". Yet, as posted above, Zauriel cut through this intangible barrier seperating dimensions.

Stabby via Flaming Sword>>>>>>>>>>> Leonidas intangibility

2) Speed- The lights are dimming on, Leonidas and he is desperate.

I made the following challenge and will do so again.

SHOW SPEED FEATS FROM FORGE AND MR.M

As I predicted, there will be no speed feats coming.

Nada, zip, none.

Leonidas wants you to dismiss Nova's speed as a trump card while providing no speed feats to defend his position.

Whether lightspeed or through the different Mach levels, Zaunova has the speed to pull off the assault.

Advantage Zaunova

3) The Shield Conspiracy- Leonidas has reached the last stages of life.

"He has no shields"

DAMN LIES!

I DO have shields and they rise to the occasion when Zaunova is in danger.

Watch
http://imgur.com/AtTmPoe
http://i.imgur.com/d4Jq4Z3

Notice at no point does Galactus do the following

"Hey, Richard, I'm about to set off a ginormous blast"

"DUCK"

Nova was able to react in time to be shielded from Galactus attack when any myriad of threats was present. Here, he is aware of his combatants abilities and there threats are nowhere near the level of Galactus.

Advantage Zaunova

4) YOU DIE FIRST- The lecherous always try ANYTHING to avoid defeat.

I have always stated that Leonidas was the biggest threat and I would target him first.

Look at my first post.

This grants Zaunova the ability to remove the strongest of the enemies, MR. MF, as a threat first and proceed from there.

Clear cut.

I have never once deviated from that course of action. Leonidas wants to distract voters have them believe that Ambient is the first target thus giving him time to act.

Leonidas dies FIRST.

Always has. Always will.

Send in the bodybag, this ones done!

Ambient vs LOB'ssssss

The Worldmind - Is not a form of cosmic sense, it is a collective knowledge of the Xandarian race program into an A.I. It traverse the cosmos by triangulating constellation, matching stars and using those as a point of reference to plot its destination. The realm of Darkforce is not but darkness; no constellation, no stars and an absolute no frame of reference to be of use to

shit! f@ck!


ffuuuu(((kkkkk! lost the rest of my f@Cking damn post..

im going to bed and revisit this later. fak!

Ambient
Post number du's

LOB'ss

1'st off, let me point out the legality issue of LOB's Stargate of Death. It's main purpose in Nova's case is faster mode of transportation of extreme distance in space from point a to b, as shown in the scan provided below, it is by no means a form of blast that incinerate or destroy.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/Stargate00.jpg.html?o=6
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/stargate01.jpg.html?o=6

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/Stargate02.jpg.html?o=8
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/Stargate03.jpg.html?o=9
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/Stargate04.jpg.html?o=6

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/stargate05.jpg.html?o=3

So as shown above, when LOB's character activates this ability, he is opening a rift/ portal of transportation that suck's in anything that is caught in it therefore a question in its legality of use, set for by rule in this tourney.

2'nd, The Worldmind, a supposed form of cosmic sense ??? I'm afraid not, It is but an A.I that houses all the knowledge and cultured acquired by the Xandarian race. It pin points it's course when traversing through out the cosmos by analysing and triangulating known stars/ constellation and using those as point of reference.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/worldmind00.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/worldmind01.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/worldmind003.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

So what happen's if it encounters space not within its stored memory ??? It gets lost. This is in exact what will happen once it enters within the Darkforce: A space of nothing-ness, devoid of light; no stars, no constellation to triangulate, nothing but darkness. It will be blind in the Darkforce realm therefore unable to locate my character - Alter Darkness.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/stargate05.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/worldmind003.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

Last but not the least is LOB'ss misguided notion in my character's weakness, A very wrong notion. Here, here a quote from Darkness, "Where there is light, there is shadow and when there is shadow there will always be DARKNESS." So he can blast as much as he wants to exhaustion, more can be made, my darklings is near infinite in numbers.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/light00.jpg.html

Summing it up - Stargate of death is but useless it breaks the rule that makes up this tourney, Worldmind is again of no use once within the Darkforce realm - it is but a blind computer A.I. The darkling is near infinite in numbers and LOB'ss still has got no counter to contact TP once he starts swimming in the tar like substance that makes up the Darkforce realm. Only one viable outcome in his encounter against mine in that his character gets piled on then controlled.

POST THE THIRD

since i'm bored, i figured i'd put lob out of my misery and still have a couple posts to deal with ambient--assuming anyone still thinks he's alive at this point. heh

first things first--the LORDOFLIES's and his first and most obvious....misinterpretation:

THE SWORD

Originally posted by LordofBrooklyn

no expression

here is the scan that precedes his image:

http://postimg.org/image/hfztazwb7/

now, call me crazy, but...cutting his way out of...water, is NOT the same as cutting through the dimensional barrier between heaven and earth. that's not to say he can't do that though. his sword CAN open portals, in a manner similar to thor. just that the ability isn't helping him here. again, i've already shown a couple scans of the sword's inability to cut things. the narration is CLEAR hyperbole, as narration often is. without feats to suggest what it is TRULY able to cut, there is absolutely nothing to suggest it can get through my force field:

http://imgur.com/LqDJkgs

http://i.imgur.com/t7c7XuR.png

http://i.imgur.com/SWYcZGG.png

http://i.imgur.com/z88pWvW.png

the sword SOUNDS cool, but it's hardly unique. many angels carry the same sword and as you can see here, the swords did them little good in this battle with cronos and his siblings:

http://i.imgur.com/oLjwtzj.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/xx3REUc.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/Vp8Phoj.jpg

the sword is anything but one-of-a-kind, nor is it, clearly, the uber weapon lob would like you to think it is. it's a feat-less weapon that, lacking any support, would do nothing more than bounce off my shields. until such time as he shows zauriel slicing through ANYTHING substantial i'll not waste anymore electrons commenting on it.

LORDOFSTRATEGY.... facepalm

now he's back to attacking me first, apparently. here is the first move from his OP:



no expression that's not a gravimetric pulse. THIS is a gravimetric pulse:

http://s1215.photobucket.com/user/dmills31/media/1322961857769.jpg.html

it's a release of energy. there it screws up iron man and horus. it's a good and powerful attack, but it doesn't have NEARLY the range needed to bother me at the start of the match (recall we are on opposite ends of the battlefield), especially in light of the fact that....HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE I AM. there's a chance he could have tried an omnidirectional blast, but that has even LESS range. not to mention: I AM SHIELDED. sigh....

so, he grav blasts to utterly no effect, THEN there's this:



seriously? lol ambient said it earlier: wm is NOT the same as cosmic awareness. nor does it get to bail YOU and your 'strategy' out! after the pulse, he'd scan and IF he could find me before i cloak myself from his senses (which i HIGHLY doubt....), he'd detect a shielded human. my shield would prevent a genome scan (that would take much longer anyway...) otoh, ambient would be POURING out energy. if his plan was to target the more obviously powerful, it is clear he'd go after ambient first.

however, he said he'd come for me. so, grav pulse + scan would take a few seconds, then he superspeeds toward me. by this time i have shields up and tech created--cloak + teleport. odds are i'd be gone by the time he reached me, but let's say i'm still there. without support, his sword is useless, so he has no way to reach me. i could easily port behind him and do this:

http://i.imgur.com/upozIlr.jpg

his shields would be down because he was attacking with his sword--and because, well, he said he never raised them. if i don't use a phase-kill, i could just remove his helmet, or crush it along with his skull. turning it into a block of titanium is my fave. while he tried to tear it free, it could blast him with the NEUTRALIZER, or phase my hand into him and kill him. maybe put my hand inside his unshielded body and set off a small nuke..... lol i like that a lot. smile my biggest issue is deciding which is my favourite way to kill him!

lob keeps calling for speed feats from me. but i don't need speed. i can teleport. i can also just turn into energy and disappear:

http://i.imgur.com/h2CY9oa.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/utOWg0D.jpg

he came to me. as he tries to get through my shield i just port behind him ftw. if he's whipping around at speed, i'd port AWAY from him until i get a better chance to take him out, probably with the NEUTRALIZER. at that point i'm undetectable. then i could watch him try and take out ambient while i sit back and determine the best way to end them both.

***(imo, the stargate doesn't imply self BFR. even in ambient's scans we see nova open it and NOT go inside.... i still see the stargate as being the death of ambient in this thing, IF i haven't killed lob first. if i have, several nukes will end ambient instead....)***

so, really, it doesn't matter how all-over-the-map lob's approach is. even though there is no way for him to know I'M the most powerful, i welcome him to attack me first. IF he finds me before i phase into the ground and am completely undetectable to them both, i have all sorts of ways to deal with him.

for him to beat me, you would literally need to believe that he can grav pulse, then find me, then reach me and kill me with a single sword stroke that instantly penetrates my shield and ohk me. that is.... no expression

otoh, i'm likely gone when he reaches my location. if not, as he approaches, i can port behind him and phase-kill him, set off a small nuke inside him, or i could simply teleport AWAY from him and wait until a more opportune moment comes up to kill him. i could use matter manip on his helmet, crushing it, or changing it, i could use forge's own ability to detect weaknesses in all things mechanical and shut down worldmind. and of course i have the ultimate ace-in-the-hole, the NEUTRALIZER, whose aoe i could easily alter to account for his speed, which, again, is limited in by the size of the battlefield.

SUMMATION

forgetting for a moment the scrambled nature of lob's shifting strategies, (in his first post his (1) thing to do is the STARGATE, NOT come after me...), his confusing the nature of his attacks (grav pulse vs...whatever he was ACTUALLY intending to do...), his...less than exemplary idea to "teleport" using a neutron star, lol, his over-estimating his speed advantage and his complete misrepresentation of the sword feat in his scan.... (whew, that's a lot to set aside lol) his apparently settled on offense of find-and-hack is WOEFULLY inadequate against the near-limitless flexibility of my amalgam. it's impossible he could identify me as the largest threat, it is very unlikely he could grav pulse, then scan for and reach me before i vanish completely, it is EXCEPTIONALLY unlikely given the feat-less nature of his sword that the weapon would pose any threat even if he COULD reach me before i was gone. his speed is useless since he can't find me, and is easily countered by my phasing and teleportation mobility and by my ability to use wide-scale AOE attacks. any way you look at it, zaunova is a dead man.

Ambient
Post numbero three

Leo's

Well I believe I took care as to why LOB's Stargate of Death is not applicable to be of use on this battle in my post above, to put it short, it breaks the "No BFR' ruling as it is but a portal that sucks in anything that is caught in it and shunt it off on a different location.

As for Leo's Auto-bombs it is easy counter-able, my character can and well be capable of tanking such a blast if need be as shown evident via scan on my first respond post above, that blast is omni-directional - Darkness was right beside the source that cause the blast, however he need not tank Leo's full blast since he is within the Darkforce realm, a plane of existence that cannot be destroyed and will most likely just going to farther spread this energy when the nukes goes off. As shown in the scan below, the tar like substance that makes up the Darkforce is maleable in form, though it can be disrupted, it can reform.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/norid.jpg.html

Leo's ability to phase is a bit tricky to deal with but his only able to do that 1 second as the rule imply, I supposed he could be caught in the nukes explosion depending where he is since he need be close enough to properly time the explosion to where he would think my character would be, he can also be dealt with once within the DF realm, his 1 second phase ability is not going to save him from an infinite amount of darkling and the telepathic attack the DF gives off + there is also LOB's character I've gained control via DF contact telepathy manipulation. All this different methods of attack should be more than likely to bring him down.

As mention the Neutralizer is not going to depower my character as he is protected by DF, an energy immune to being matter manipulated as shown when Sersi failed to do so.

So to sum it up: The nuke is just going to farther spread the DF across the battle ground farther aiding my strategy to fully engulf the whole place in this energy. His phasing is limited for 1 second only, way more than enough time for my characters to land a blow, specially since i also acquired LOB's character via telepathic manipulation. The neutralizer is neutered.

FINAL POST!!1!

i know i have one more post available but there won't be time to get it in before tomorrow's deadline, so, this is it. i'll review my opponents' strategies then outline my own as a sort of summary of how this has been going down.

AMBIENT

well, not too much new here tbh, but what IS new is....really a problem for him.



blink

okay.....but, of course that results in a self-bfr. he can't hide in the DF realm, even if it IS him who is opening the portal...so, ambient is out.

but...let's assume not for a moment. there's nothing that would REMOTELY suggest ambient's guy could withstand a nuke or 6. don't forget, the auto-bombs are programmed. i could easily send one into the DF and have it/them, detonate when they are near dark asylum. the blast would literally disintegrate him. compared to multiple nukes, that blast jackie withstood is utterly inconsequential. it is the purest form of a no-limits fallacy to suppose that because he withstood the blast ambient showed, that he could therefore handle multiple large-yield nukes.

assuming he CAN'T hide in the DF without bfr'ing himself, he'd be out in the open anyway, and there is certainly nothing to suggest he could 'tank' such a large scale attack. like i said, i'd turn the BF in to the interior of the sun with the blasts and we already know about jackie's 'allergy to light':

http://imageshack.com/f/0e22577635j

can you imagine what 1, 2, 6 nukes would do to him...? there would, quite literally, be NO SHADOWS. anything manmade would be obliterated. there is no chance he could tank something of that magnitude. not without a TON more evidence to suggest it.....

forgetting even THAT for a second, ambient has also misinterpreted the self-bfr rule. i can certainly phase for more than one second. the nature of my phasing is not based on my mass LEAVING THE BF--IE, it is similar to either vision or kitty pryde. i have in no way left the BF. i've simply adjusted my density by manipulating my own atomic structure, something perfectly legal. smile

which is too bad for ambient because he has absolutely no answer for an immaterial opponent. not a single scan to suggest he could in any way at all pose a threat to me in my ghost-form. that would mean i have all the time in the world to deal with him IF for some unknown reason anyone thinks he could actually live through the nukes.

or the STARGATE OF DEATH!!1! (assuming you think lob is still alive to open it..)

***fun fact***: if ambient is right about the stargate being a self bfr, then lob has actually taken BOTH of them out with that attack. if not, then the stargate leads to lob's self bfr, and entering the DF has led to ambient's self bfr. laughing out loud both my opponents SEEM to have eliminated THEMSELVES from this match.... priceless....

assuming for the moment that is NOT the case, i don't NEED to phase to take him out. teleportation is EVERY BIT AS EFFECTIVE. if he survives the nukes, i would just as easily be able to teleport around the battlefield IN SOLID FORM, undetected, and hit him with the MUTANT GENE INHIBITOR that works in seconds, or just cut to the chase and use the NEUTRALIZER. his defense against the neutralizer was to say that SERSI couldn't affect it. no expression

sersi is a TRANSMUTER. i wouldn't expect anyone to buy the notion that mr m could manipulate DARKFORCE either. the NEUTRALIZER does not transmute--it simply turns off super powers:

http://i.imgur.com/6emPLws.jpg

"strip every super being on the face of the earth of their powers!"

and of course there are SEVERAL darkforce-powered super beings on earth including cloak and darkstar to name a random couple. i said it before, but again--there is absolutely ZERO reason to believe the neutralizer wouldn't affect dark asylum in exactly the same way it would affect every other super being on earth....especially combined with the mutant inhibitor.

AMBIENT SUMMARY

phasing, no phasing, nukes or stargates or no nukes or stargates, dark asylum has no chance in this match. he has shown almost no durability feats, and certainly nothing remotely close to what he would need to show. he also has no answer at all for having his mutant powers removed (asylum IS a mutant...) nor for simply having ALL his powers removed in one fell swoop. i have far too many ways to end him, and he has shown next to nothing in the way of defense against my attacks. check and mate. thumb up

LOB

dealt with this already, but a quick recap:

he wants to grav pulse, then scan and attack. he, for some reason, believes he will be able to identify ME as the most powerful on the field (recall too, the DARKNESS is some, uber, universal force or other...lol). the only way he MIGHT be able to do that is with a genome scan:

http://i.imgur.com/2qgXVTT.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/ysGizri.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/2ZA4rpO.jpg

http://imgur.com/yf8xtE0

problem with that is it took time--like 3-4 pages of time--for that to work. not only that, that monster was NOT SHIELDED, as i am. AND....the only thing he would be likely to find anyway, would be that i am part mutant. no reason at all to assume he would even be able to identify the NATURE of my power, let alone the scope.

so, all KINDS of things wrong with his opening. again. facepalm

tbh, i can barely make heads or tails of WHAT is was intending. tbh, i think he THOUGHT he could simply scan then 'teleport' to me and chop my head off.

he can't.

in all honesty, i have been having one HELL of a time trying to figure out how to respond to the mess he's made of his opening by guessing at his intents, and trying to account for a variety of...interpretations of his offense. if my responses have seemed a bit scattered, well, you now know why.

first, he used the wrong attack, then he realized he can't teleport, now he knows he can't even identify me as the biggest threat without an in-depth scan that would give me a ton of time to simply disappear on him. these are the types of mistakes in a debate that simply cannot be condoned....

pressing on: since he claims to think/know i'm the most powerful, i guess we MUST assume he went and tried the genome scan? that would mean i have TONS of time to make my tech and simply vanish, even before his scan is finished.

once i'm gone, he can no longer find me. safe to assume he'd go after ambient. more than likely he uses the STARGATE and kills ambient. that leaves just him (unless it IS self bfr....), likely super-speeding around, looking for me. if that is the case, i simply increase the AOE of the neutralizer and ***BANG*** he's done. recall, the NEO-NEUTRALIZER allowed the neutralizer to affect an entire PLANET!

http://i.imgur.com/cvtbBws.jpg

adjusting the AOE would be simple, given as i am undetectable and have all the time in the world....

with time, it's clear i end him easily.

in the event anyone believes he.....somehow reaches me BEFORE i disappear, i have already outlined several ways i could kill him from manipulating his unshielded helmet, to blocking out worldmind, to phase-killing him by crushing his heart in my hand to simply teleporting well away from him so he can't detect me and picking him off when i want. his sword is feat-less and his speed is neutered by my mobility and undetectability.

so many wild, and unsubstantiated claims have to go precisely right to enable him to take me out in the opening 3 seconds of this match, and so many gross errors need to be over-looked that it is, essentially, impossible imo, to imagine his harming me before i disappear.

now, he is saving his last post. that means, groan....he may decide to change strategies yet again. he hasn't brought out zauriel's scream yet. should he do so in his final post, recall i am shielded as well as now being utterly invisible to him. i could also simply phase through the attack if it came to that. i would HOPE he has scans showing the power of the scream, but scans and support have been very few and far between in his posts.....

i suppose it is also possible he might try and break out michael's spear. if he does so, the entire strategy should be disregarded. he has already used his sword in this match. he was given the spear IN LIEU of the sword. that means he only ever had one OR the other, not both. since it is clear he has already declared he is using the sword version, he can NOT also possess the spear. if he tries, he has again made an error in not knowing his characters....IF he tries....

THE END

so, my strat has stayed its course. shield, create my tech, disappear. i have tried to account for all of lob's meandering offense even though i STILL remain unsure of just exactly how he plans to pull off what he wants to do, or even exactly WHAT he wants to do. i am almost limitless in my flexibility. i have several answers for anything my opponents have tried to bring to bear, and have completely indefensible forms of offense. to quote the immortal mike tyson:

"My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart."

FINAL POST

Warning- This post is not for the weak of heart as it is pure, unadulterated,

ANNIHILATION!!!

I will try to be as concise and informative as possible.

Zaunova is uniquely capable of destroying both Ambient and Leonidas.

1) Tactics- The Worldmind recognizes the threats posed by both combatants and plans accordingly.

a)Lightspeed attack- Both Ambient and Leonidas have no counter for an attack at this level.

Advantage- Zaunova

b)Teleportation- Zaunova transitions seamlessly from lightspeed to wormhole to land inside of both combatants forcefields. They never see it coming and they wake up in eternity! Tell Tupac and Biggie they are still the greatest!

http://i.imgur.com/wKkJmVv.jpg

Advantage Zaunova

c) Flaming sword- The Flaming sword was powered by Zauriel's will and now it is backed by The Nova force as well. No forcefield from Ambient or Leonidas can stop that.

Advantage Zaunova

I will quickly torch the scenarios provided by Addled Ambient and Lecherous Leonidas.

Ambient the aimless scenario.

A horde of Darklings cover the entire battlefield diminishing my power through telepathic attack.

1)Blade rule suspended- Ambient doesn't just get Asylum's powers and The Darkness powers but their "WEAKNESSES" as well.

The Darkness is rendered powerless by light!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkness_(comics)#Powers_and_abilities

Zaunova brings the light that will set you free, brothers

http://i.imgur.com/cmhliCB.jpg

Ambient's opening gambit is crushed and he is completely vulnerable.

Advantage Zaunova

2)Stargate of Death Lives- Ambient claims that the Stargate of Death is against the rules. I would too if I knew it would eviscerate me utterly. The Stragate is being used to blast The Darklings and the power behind it would destroy Ambient as collateral damage. It is allowed. If it were actually BFR, it is the Darklings and not Ambient being removed so his claim flops on those grounds as well.

Advantage Zaunova

3) Telepathic immunity- Zaunova is immune to ALL telepathic attacks. Ambient's claim of "Different" telepathy because of a bad touch is utterly false. Mental telepathy, tactile telepathy, Mindset mojo telepathy etc. it doesn't matter. Zaunova is not affected whatsoever.

http://i.imgur.com/ugItP6E.jpg

Advantage Zaunova

Ambient is outclassed in every scenario.

Leonidas the lecherous

Leonidas tale of treachery.

He hides like a craven animal while I murderlize Ambient and then comes out of the shadows to kill me with a bomb.

1) Power of The Nova Force- Leonidas the cowardly can't hide. His energy is present on the battlefield and The Worldmind would detect it. I targeted him first and would kill him first.

Advantage Zaunova

2) Bombproof- Leonidas will set off an Auto-Bomb that will destroy me.

This scan speaks for itself.

http://i.imgur.com/M72Um0o.jpg

You need more bomb, Leonidas.

Advantage Zaunova

3) Neutered nullifier- Leonidas the lacking claims that Forge's tech will render me powerless. This gets dismissed in 2 ways.

1) Lightspeed attack- Leonidas and his tech become one with the spirit in the sky before he can even conceive of using it.

Speed of light>>>>>>>>> Speed of thought

2) Power of The Presence- Zauriel is a warrior angel of The Presence. This is nothing like what Forge's tech was used upon. The Dire Wraiths are Deviants, no not The Bada and Pr kind but the ones developed in close relation to humans. The same way The Inhumans physiology is close enough to ours that the Terrigen mist works on humans, the tech worked on the Wraiths.

Zauriel's entire being is composed of divine power. That is above the tech of Forge.

So, even if one were inclined to give lowly Leonidas the benefit of the doubt(Why would anyone do that?) Zauriel's power is still intact and enough to win.

a) The Scream- This is what made Leonidas have 2 scenarios from the outset. Zauriel screams and tears down everything in his path.

b) The Armor- Divine protection.

3) The Quickdraw- While Leonidas sought to hide, I took off at lightspeed. I used my time to gain the speed advantage that stands without a forcefield. I don't need a force-field when I'm moving faster than he can think.

I saved the best for last...

THE SMOKING GUN

Leonidas the Lecherous knows the power of Zauriel's sword and scream and chose to hide it from you.

Here is what the Lecherous one himself has to say about the power of Zauriel!

BEHOLD

Originally posted by leonidas
sorry smurph, you're not winning me over with his matter manip. well within 30 yrs maybe, but still nothing actually "recent". anyway, generally speaking those are all pretty low level things and nothing you really mentioned would be a threat to z. the armor would likely be well beyond bb's ability to manipulate. he could try and encase z but his sword (or spear now, apparently) could cut anything or he could use his voice to simply break out. bb is likely the stronger, (though in his armor z would make it close) but z is certainly the faster and more skilled -- he's been a warrior since the dawn of creation for pete's sake. the armor and sword would protect him from the blasts and let him get in close enough. he would likely need only one hit with the sword or could throw the spear.

meh, we'll agree to disagree. i say without voices z wins.

Originally posted by leonidas
see that's what i wasn't sure of. the scream i could see him dealing with. the sword? a little trickier given that it is able to cut . . . well, everything i think. not sure vulcan could control the flames of it or not.


AHA!!!!!

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the sword CAN cut Leonidas while intangible. The wretch said it can cut "EVERYTHING" several times in several threads!

Not only is Leonidas, lecherous, but TREACHEROUS as well!

Google, Leonidas Zauriel Killermovies.com for MORE revelations!

Zaunova was born for destruction and Ambient and Leonidas learn this the hard way.

In closing, I hope I have done enough to earn your vote and I thank you in advance for your consideration.

P.S. If you vote for me I will give you 2 FREE samples of what Ambient was taking during his 2nd post!

Post Numero quatro

Also probably my final post.

LEONIDAS



The process of what my character has done is simply bleeding out the DF energy from the DF dimension into battleground completely changing its layout to pure tar like substance that makes up the DF energy, dough the make up of the battleground has change it still accessible to all the combatants and therefore would not qualify as a BFR tactic.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/livingdimension.jpg.html

Let me reiterate again my counter measures to Leo's nuke or 's. As previously mentioned, Darkness that makes up a portion of my characters amalgam has withstood explosion equating to that of a nuke bomb and as for the hike in temperature, this is a kin to being in a sauna to someone who bask in temp. 4x that of the sun.

4x temperature of the sun.
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/7a620804-2afa-4fc8-97a1-2868b36ba232.jpg.html?state=copy&sp=false

Exploding 6 nuke bombs this size and power seems stretching the cap limit of city level destruction but lets say we go a head and have em detonate all of it or heck auto-program and transport it into the heart of the DF. This will not go unnoticed, as explained during my initial write up, the Darkness can see and is aware of everything within the dark, specially within his realm. It takes but a thought to turn this nuke bomb into say water or simply port it outside harms way.

Matter manipulation.

Teleportation.
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/45235017_1.jpg.html

Leo's right regarding the phasing part, i had thought that it applies to all phase ability however i'm not helpless against it as in order for him to make use of such ability he need cross my realm, a realm where everything is in my control. I can see present and future events unfolding around me, seeing his movement will allow me to proper mount a counter attack once he un-phase to attack - he needs to be in solid form to do this as shown in his scan. Un-phasing alone would exposed him to the tar like substance that makes up the darkness around him that gives off telepathic assault, this dark matter can render him immobile while eaten alive. Also his matter manipulating ability is useless within this realm as it is immune to be matter manipulated outside my characters.

See present and future.

DF construct.
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/NEWWAEANN-003-09.jpg.html?sort=3&o=55

Again like explained on my previous post the Neutralizer is not going to work, the DF is immune to being matter manipulated and this tech works in that regard as it manipulates the matter within the biology changing it. My character is amored in DF unlike other DF user who's powers only projects or use it as portals.

DF immune to matter manipulation.
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RRoldz/media/Tourney/178491f0-28a4-4456-acbb-4c7f72989c2d.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1


Recap:

I believe I'm quite capable of countering anything Leo could throw at me; His Neutralizer is ineffective as my character is armored within DF and as shown by Sersi, it is immune to being matter manipulated which the neutralizer tech seems to be base on. His 1-6 Auto nuke bombs if activated simultaneously is above cap, yet still can be countered via matter manipulation, porting it out away from the expanding DF realm or simply tanking it when activated within the DF. If Leo detonate outside the DF realm my character can either again chose to tank it or simply port himself away from the blast, the DF realm would still be there as it basically replace what is current in existence plane. His phasing ability is actually his achille's heel in that he needs use it for close quarter in congruent to attack and with my ability to fully control my area and to see his movement, i can time properly when he materialized to attack and counter as explained above..

The longer the fight takes the faster the progression of the DF to fully take over all of battleground which then gives me full control of everything and I've also retain control of LOB's character when he blitz me within my realm, falling victim to contact TP control, a valuable asset to assist me to take out Leo.


LOB'ss

Well I'm just going to repeat what I've said on my second post, so basically nothing new..

1'st off, let me point out the legality issue of LOB's Stargate of Death. It's main purpose in Nova's case is faster mode of transportation of extreme distance in space from point a to b, as shown in the scan provided below, it is by no means a form of blast that incinerate or destroy.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...00.jpg.html?o=6
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...01.jpg.html?o=6

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...02.jpg.html?o=8
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...03.jpg.html?o=9
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...04.jpg.html?o=6

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...05.jpg.html?o=3

So as shown above, when LOB's character activates this ability, he is opening a rift/ portal of transportation that suck's in anything that is caught in it therefore a question in its legality of use, set for by rule in this tourney.

2'nd, The Worldmind, a supposed form of cosmic sense ??? I'm afraid not, It is but an A.I that houses all the knowledge and cultured acquired by the Xandarian race. It pin points it's course when traversing through out the cosmos by analysing and triangulating known stars/ constellation and using those as point of reference.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...?sort=3&o=2
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...?sort=3&o=1

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...?sort=3&o=0

So what happen's if it encounters space not within its stored memory ??? It gets lost. This is in exact what will happen once it enters within the Darkforce: A space of nothing-ness, devoid of light; no stars, no constellation to triangulate, nothing but darkness. It will be blind in the Darkforce realm therefore unable to locate my character - Alter Darkness.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...?sort=3&o=3
http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...?sort=3&o=0

Last but not the least is LOB'ss misguided notion in my character's weakness, A very wrong notion. Here, here a quote from Darkness, "Where there is light, there is shadow and when there is shadow there will always be DARKNESS." So he can blast as much as he wants to exhaustion, more can be made, my darklings is near infinite in numbers.

http://s198.photobucket.com/user/RR...ight00.jpg.html

Summing it up - Stargate of death is but useless it breaks the rule that makes up this tourney, Worldmind is again of no use once within the Darkforce realm - it is but a blind computer A.I. The darkling is near infinite in numbers and LOB'ss still has got no counter to contact TP once he starts swimming in the tar like substance that makes up the Darkforce realm. Only one viable outcome in his encounter against mine in that his character gets piled on then controlled.

So I believe my character ability to control the area around him and his versatility to counter anything the opponent could throw at is the reason why I should win this 3 way bout.

laughing out loud

lob

guess there is still time so a quick point or 2. you gotta love lob's strat of attempting to use my own words against me. he's using them, mutant is using them in a different bz...not sure if i should be weirded out or honoured. lol

anyway, the important thing to note is this (even in my OWN comments....) is that there are no scans for support. i like zauriel, no doubt, and always thought he'd be a fun character. turns out he never really did....ANYTHING of merit. even my debate with smurph is without any support at all. there is also the fact that black bolt would have been unshielded and there is no proof at all the sword would cut through an energy barrier--especially one as strong (and never broken) as the one i'm using.

lob is still sticking with his light speed and teleportation angle. what more do i really need to say. shrug

his weaknesses remain: he lacks and HAS lacked throughout, a real understanding of his characters, a solid, believable strategy, and any strong support for....whichever strategy he has tried to outline. coupled with his many, MANY errors, that can only spell doom for the lordofmisdirection....

https://longboxgraveyard.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/thordoom.jpg

as for ambient:

i don't think the nukes would be over the cap. they wouldn't be set to go off at one time, they would go off consecutively to allow for the a longer duration of NO LIGHT. i also don't see 6 nukes being above the cap, tbh, even if they went off all at once. regardless, he has no proof AT ALL to suggest he could withstand even ONE nuke....

again, no answer for my phasing ability (which i'm glad was sorted, thanks ambient thumb up )

he repeats that i would need to UNPHASE. that of course is blatantly false. first there is no reason to think the DF would get through my force field, but more important, i've already shown multiple scans of my powers working simultaneously, so, no, there would be no reason to unphase.

his precog is....suspect at best anyway. he might port away a bomb or 2, but they would be easy to simply remake over and over if needed. and again, the best EITHER of them can do is say "NO, THE NEUTRALIZER WOULDN'T WORK ON ME!!!1!"

i've shown multiple times though that it worked on EVERYONE. THAT is the reason forge himself DESTROYED ALL SAMPLES OF IT!

the tech no longer exists, and forge has refused to recreate it BECAUSE of what it can do. and of course that's why the government wanted it so desperately. so the cries of "IT WON'T WORK!!1!" while understandable, are completely false and lacking any real support.

i have stayed consistent in my strat, accounted for....a variety of opposing strats and supported EVERY phase of my plan.

in closing, i gotta say lob, you're entertaining as hell. using my own, unsupported words against me? nice attempt. and ambient, it's always fun going against you.

Hey, sure. I had to reread and rethink this two times. Here are my thoughts on this Battle-zone. I don't know if I am supposed to explain why I voted the way I did or just say xyz wins, this is my first BZ as a judge and I try to be as objective and fair as possible. So bear with me and actual flaws in my thinking.

First, all three did a great job. Their characters are well chosen and more than capable of winning against anyone. LoB and the House of El are my allies, though I "forgot" this little fact for this BZ.

My opinion on who would win changed constantly during the BZ. After reading the first descriptions of the characters I came to the conclusion that power wise, Alter Darkness is the most powerful on the field and Zaunova close behind, with Leos char lacking the raw power to compete with the others and thus standing not a real chance. Controlling the Darkforce and wielding the Darkness on top of this made me think that Alter Darkness enemies can't light a candle in his dark(lings) wind, especially not Leos char, at least this was what I though in the beginning. However, given the nature of Zaunova, his celestial weapon, the light based nature and the Stargate of Death, I was convinced that he indeed can cut through anything and would be like Knite for Alter Darkness, kind of tailor made against him. His Stargate would be against the BFR rule if it would go against Alter Darkness himself, but since it was supposed to target the Darklings wave I though it is legit. So, with the lightbased powers, the Stargate and blasts from Leos Bombs I had the impression that Alter Darkness will lose this now and Zaunova, who should be able to tank the Bombs due to his shields would claim the win after finding and eliminating Leo. Unfortunately LoB changed his tactics more than once, which made it hard to follow what exactly he would do and in what order, so I started from the beginning. In all of this I though that Leos tactic won't pay out, till rereading the BFR rule in the Tournament thread, which at the end required the Chars to tank the Explosion AND the neutralizer, which would have been possible for Alter Darkness only by a self BFR in his dimension. Since neither Alter Darkness nor Zaunova can use the self BFR even for a moment to escape the neutralizer, I had to agree with Leo that they will indeed be powerless, and after the blast hits them, dead. While all this happens, Leo will be somewhere, phased and shielded, hiding from his enemies till he can smell their burned bones. This tactic, as cowardly as it might seem, is indeed flawless, under those stips, and as thus I can only vote for Leonidas. Sometimes it is not the most powerful char who wins but the sneakiest.

Winner: Leonidas
Second Place: Alter Darkness AND Zaunova

Ambient wins.


at first I had Ambient that was winning until Leo started to post more, Leo overall was better than Ambient. What made a difference for me was in the format...

Ambients posts were clean, easy to follow and to read. More so than Leo and LoB posts. I had a hard time reading and keeping up with LoB posts, I was a little confused with them. Leo... I found that Leos walls of text were a bit too much, his posts looked like a big blob, but I was still able to follow and comprehend what he was doing.

And this was why I voted for Ambient. Leo could have easily gotten my vote, if his format was a little better.

Congrats Leo, you advance.

Thanks LoB, and Abmient for your participation.

Should formatting dictate a vote if the strategy/content > the opponents? (not saying that I agree or disagree with the decision, just that point).

-K-M-
It should matter as your supposed to make the most clear and concise points. It matters in real debates, but half the time how judges vote for matches here varies so much there isn't any consistency. Someone long ago should have made a template for judges to base their votes on. Hence why I never judge as with it being so open its subjective to your discretion.

I feel If you can't articulate precisely what your point is your not debating your arguments well. (Not directed at this thread but to overall debate tourneys here)

Leo doesn't have access to a computer right now. I literally just walked downstairs and gave him the news, since he's still in town and hanging out with Newjak and I tonight. Congrats to all, though.

IOW, he's tied up in your gimp basement.

(a) digi's girl friend was great the couple days i was down
(b) beats your blow up dolls. wink

and thanks judges. i'm not real sure format should be weighed evenly with the other aspects, nor should humour be factored in evenly imo. they DO go towards readability, but if i could have earned the vote 'easily' based on my argument, a lack of formatting shouldn't cost the vote imo. km has a point--but just because i don't use fancy headlines and colours and bullets, doesn't mean the argument isn't presented clearly and well. and given the nature of this chaotic 3-way, i think it was.

but it IS a subjective process and regardless, appreciate the input from all of you.

laughing out loud

leonidas
laughing out loud not sure that's exactly what lob had in mind though....

Ambient
Was looking forever for this thread. I had to do a search to find it. Lols

That exactly what LOB had in mind, he's actually a double agent for the glinting board wielder club (surfer's fan club). That's right it's out there now.
