IMO Gundam's team presents the greatest chance of a Wildcard strategy/approach. But that may be because I know so little about anyone in his team except for Punisher, and even there my knowledge is spotty.

Starscream, since you've taken such an interest, it might interest you to know that after our group round robins, we get to re-draft. So some teams will be different going into the semis and finals. As such, predictions on group winners are easier to make, but overall winners are anyone's guess, because teams could feasibly change wildly before it's over.
Sorry to be mildly patronizing earlier, btw...I actually thought you were spam-joking with all the Smurph-wankage. But it's nice to see outside interest.
btw, I'm not wanking smurph...all the debators in this tourney are very capable. I just thought his team was stronger than the others....but I added the caveat that I based it only on my limited knowledge. I know how much creativity debators can bring and often turn rather mundane characters (ie punisher) into much more, although the rules of this tourney seems to allow for only a pretty basic changes due to very limited prep time.
It will be interesting to see how everything unfolds.
Omega did about 1000x better in his OP than in his last tourney. Weren't you the one who one-hit-killed yourself with your prep strategy in the last one?
Anyway, kudos. Despite a little unfamiliarity with the process, it's impossible to know you're new from your writeup, which is solid.

In other news, the scans I dug up to counter Mysterio's illusions are now worthless. The early bird....gets shafted occasionally.
I would shift blame by saying that JLX came up with that strat for the most part but then its still on my head for not putting more effort into double-checking his strat before okaying it.

I like that Cage and Iron Fist are meeting in the first match. I like to imagine comic-style interplay between the characters/amalgams. It makes potential matchups so much more entertaining.
...and also disturbing, since, for example, Wolverine and Cyclops presumably have knowledge of the fact that they're now sharing a body. If I were Omega, I'd argue that Smurph's amalgam isn't logically consistent based on that alone.
