Pariah Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I still maintain Zatanna & Scarlet Witch got robbed. [pouty face] Other than that pretty happy with the last round's results. So, a thing for female magic users in fishnets and lingerie. Got it. :: files away for future use :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Mhoram Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Just dying for a flame war, are we? lol I was being obnoxious but given the structure of the this, DC coming out on top so much actually makes sense. DC Heroes tend to be just a little stronger than their marvel counterparts (or a lot stronger). Street level - the character that almost defined the genre is DC, so he gets in the top just be being Batman. Marvel doesn't do teen sidekicks, and have not done legacy heroes until recently, so that gives Marvel less bench strength in choices in the Teen tournament. When the jump to unlimited - Marvel tends to go big. DC has people like Superman, and unless he is the early 80s pre-Crisis Superman, Pheonix would take him out. Franklin Richards and others that would show up in unlimited class - the DC powerhouses like Dr Fate likely can't stand up to them. If the GLs are in that class, so would Silver Surfer. Mentalists - the Martian Manhunter or Saturn Girl can't hold a candle to Prof X. To be honest, depending on who all gets in, I expect Marvel to take most of the top spots of unlimited class.

Pariah Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 So far, the results have tended to reinforce the "People with powers" (Marvel) vs. "Gods with off-switches" (DC) mentality that seems to surround online discussions of the two companies. And it makes sense. In Champions terms, most DC characters are just built on more points than their Marvel counterparts. It will be interesting to see how the Unlimited tournament goes, though.

Pariah Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 As an aside, I'm not sure I really understand this, but what's with people voting after I've announced the results of the matches? I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 As an aside, I'm not sure I really understand this, but what's with people voting after I've announced the results of the matches? I don't get it. That kept happening in prior iterations of these tournaments too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasBroot Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Showing an opinion even though they missed the voting deadline? I don't think anyone who has done it *whistles innocently* expects it to alter the outcome of the match in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Okay, the closing of the final matches were unavoidably delayed, but we have our winners! The Bronze Medalist, by virtue of a convincing defeat of Firestorm is . . . Power Girl! Taking the Silver Medal is the one and only . . . Wonder Woman! And our champion, winning an improbable victory against the Princess of the Amazons is . . . Barry Allen, The Flash! Thank you to everyone who voted! We'll start qualification and seeding for the Unlimited Class tournament next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
