Contest Of Marvels Discussion Thread

[JewishHobbit]

You know, I was gonna post the brackets on the first page of each thread,.. but it's annoying to do and I personally find it annoying to keep going there to look at them. So unless you guys disagree, I'm gonna just randomly post them here in the discussion thread. So here we go:

Bracket 1
Bracket 2
Bracket 3
Bracket 4
Bracket 5
Bracket 6
Bracket 7
Bracket 8

 

[Sparta*]

Yeah, and we both started out really bad, lol. Oh well, anything can happen.

I guess we just have mad skills Midnight Ice lol

 

[POWdER-man]

Bracket 1 1
Bracket 2 1
Bracket 3 3
Bracket 4 1
Bracket 5 3
Bracket 6 1
Bracket 7 4
Bracket 8 0


That's fine with me JH. Interesting, these are all my characters by each thread(including 3 who havent had their matches yet). Seems like my best bet is Bracket 3, 5 and 7. The rest don't seem to have much hope.

BTW I am going to go with Sandman not Electro, after much deep thought.

 

[Nightwolf]

If we're still able to pick which character we want to go through ill pick Warpath instead of Charcoal. The character was given to me and i dont know that much about him.

 

[POWdER-man]

What's that? Oh yeah, it's Location time...Location time, Location time, tell me where it is and we'll see what's inside....

This week's matches will be held in Hades (or hell if you may). Specifically Tartarus, which is the section of the underworld to which the spirits of the dead, particularly those who were evil, were sent to be forever punished and tortured.

There will be demons everywhere, and troubled souls being punished, however they willl have no interference in the matchup other than the fact it will be a gruesome sight to see. The heat will be like Nevada during the summer months, so although it is livable and breathable, it's like hell on earth...

I've never been to Navada.

Okay, I changed Sandman and Warpath in my copy of the brackets,... they'll be updated when next I post them.

POWdER-Man, I was cautious on your choice of Sandman at first, as I think Electro's a better character and has a better chance winning the next match. But he'd definately go out in round four against either Iron Man or Joseph. Sandman, however, has a great chance at winning, especially against Joseph. Are you thinking the same way?

Actually I was thinking that Sandman would have a better chance against Strong Guy or Constrictor (although I REALLY like Electro more). The fourth round I am hoping to put Iron Man or Joseph against Sandman.

With Electro against Constrictor he wears an electrically insulated bodysuit and strong guy could absorb the electricity and use it against Electro...although I could probably argue that Electro could completely overwhelm Strong Guy....

Ah,.. I was thinking in reverse. I was thinking that Constrictor's electric shocks would do nothing against Electro,... but yeah, the more I think about it the more I think Sandman has a better shot. Wait,... do you own Iron Man and Joseph?

Yep...

 

[JewishHobbit]

Oh okay,.. well that's differant. I was thinking that you had a chance to take a smaller character like sandman and beat an A+tough character like Joseph, but if you own them all that's a slightly differant thing.

 

[POWdER-man]

Yeah it stinks I have a lot of my good characters in one bracket...

 

[Phaedrus45]

Good job Phaedrus...

Like I said, if you ever need a week off, let me know...

EDIT: Man, you need an avatar.....let me know what you'd want and I can do my best...

I'll think on it. Not sure what would suit me.

I've been to Nevada a few times during the summer months (Las Vegas) and it is like hell on earth lol

 

[Phaedrus45]

Voting will begin soon. Since I just got on the computer and left a debate, I don't want to create an unfair advantage by having the last word on a match. It will officially begin at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. That gives anyone with any last words about an hour 45 minutes left to argue.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Man, Round 1 was so simple compared to this Round. I hate to see what it's going to get like in upcoming Rounds. Next week is the last Round of this batch; then, the rest are just going to fly by.

16 weeks for Round 1
8 weeks for Round 2
4 weeks for Round 3
2 weeks for Round 4
1 week for Round 5

Man, 8 weeks and we are done. And, it's already difficult to figure out so many matches right now. Even with my own characters, I see how another can beat me or I can beat him.

Oh, and Sparta, let's have you post the match between Strong Guy and Constrictor on Thursday. That way, we will have it be on a day when we're not doing much of anything in the Rounds, besides posting the new rankings. Is that OK with you?

It's actually going to go longer than that. I plan to have one winner and one winner only. So the winners of the 8 brackets will then be joined into a final bracket (brack 1 champ Vs brack 2 champ, 3 Vs 4, 5 Vs 6, and 7 Vs 8), and the matches will continue until there is one final champion in the first season of the Contest of Marvels.

DOH! That's right. I brainfarted and forgot about adding them all together. So, we'll have three more weeks, right?

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yup

What are the groung rules going to be in Sparta's thread. We each get a single post to argue our side, right? But will others get to debate?

If we're not allowed to debate more than the one post, then no one else should be able to either. And this will need to be pointed out clearly that no debating is allowed.

And if others can debate our arguments, then shouldn't we owners be allowed to debate as well?

 

[Sparta*]

Thursday is fine with me you guys

I think the owners of the characters should make one post each stating why they think their character would win, then one rebuttle post each, then thats IT. I will make it clear that other people are not to debate.

I think this sounds great.

Yeah...that sounds fantastic. What time do you usually post your matches...and what time zone?
