Yeah that wouldn't affect the matches, so it shouldn't matter if it's during round 3

 

[Harlekin]

You have 12 characters....

Yeah. Miscount. 6-6.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

As long as Wolvie lasts one more round, I'll be happy.

 

[Phaedrus45]

My predicted wins in red, my losses bold, my unsures in green.

Hyperion-Exiles(JH) vs. Seina Blaze (WOLVERINE)
Warpath(NIGHTWOLF) vs. Spider-Girl(WOLVERINE)
Tri-Sentinel (WOLVERINE) vs. Beta Ray Bill (DEATH'S HEAD)
Archangel (MIDNIGHT ICE) vs. Wolverine (WOLVERINE)
Venom (WOLVERINE) vs. Scarlet Witch (SPARTA)
Valkyrie (HARLEKIN) vs. Maverick (WOLVERINE)
Apocalypse (WIEGEABO) vs. Doctor Doom (WOLVERINE)
Gauntlet (POWDERMAN) vs. Gateway (WOLVERINE)

Ooooo....I predict a tough round for you, my friend. I see 3 or 4 wins in your future. But, I might get convinced otherwise with a couple of them.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

My only two obvious losses are Maverick an' MAYBE Tri-Sentinel. Hyperion's gonna take some BSin' an' since Scarlet Witch's been powered down fer th' round I have a shot.

Basically, if people read my debates BEFORE they vote I have a shot. But if a majority just do th' name-vote thing, I'm screwed. Not sayin' that's how everyone does it, but I'm sure people who are busy have taken that shortcut a few times.

 

[Harlekin]

So you're gonna just cut your losses with Valk vs Mav?

 

[Sparta*]

Yeah okay, I'm alright with that. Post the Guardian/Abyss match as we've already debated it twice, and the Spidercide/Bloodaxe match will take place during week one of round 3.

Can we post the Bloodaxe vs Spidercide in my thread, and do the Guardian vs Abyss during round 3...i'm just asking because I have about half of my debate done for Bloodaxe vs Spidercide, and nothing for Guardian vs Abyss, and I probably won't have time to write one up for that match-up...but if it was just in the regular thread I could do some very minimal debating with it.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Name's Wolverine fer a reason, bub. Still gonna have a fight on yer hands. I just won't be too upset if he loses. However, consider he's gone up against people he had no right beatin' already.

Got some good matches this round...as well as the usual lopsided one or two (in my favor and against). Should be interesting.

Good to hear.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Let's dance.​

 

[Harlekin]

The polka?

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Nah, I live dangerously.

We FLAMINCO!

 

[Johnny Blaze]

You know, since we're nearing the end of this thing, how about we start having matches in populated areas? Not only will it add another dimension to strategies and the like, but it will also make matches a whole hell of a lot more interesting instead of just having a standard generic battlefield all the time.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I dunno, man, that creates a handicap fer all th' hero characters. We need one fer villains too.

 

[POWdER-man]

The problem with that is it's an AUTOMATIC handicap for any heroes because we have already seen it being used against them in strategies.

I think to keep it fair we should keep a level playing battleground for each opponent. Plus coming to end of this I hate to see an important match decided on something as trivial as that.

Man, that would almost guarantee me 5 of my matches to do that, but really it's not fair.

However, we can look into more dangerous locations (although Mt St. Helen and Hades were dangerous locations). I am open to more suggestions if you want.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Well, more exotic locales would work, as apposed to Empire State every week.

Some suggestions...Atilan, the Negative Zone, Dark Dimension, Thanos' Shrine to Death from Infinity Gauntlet, the Grandmaster's Game Room (from JLA/Avengers), Atlantis, Asgard, Battleworld from Secret War...

 

[Harlekin]

You got yourself a dance-partner, pal.

Umm that was only one week and I said I wanted to have it somewhere less "problematic" for the last week but yeah I have no problem with that...I had a couple of those locations anyways......do you mean Attilan because we already had that one.....

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Actually, by Empire State I was meaning more towards plain old battlefields in general then the location itself.

And yeah, I meant Attilan. I forgot that we did that one already.

Other suggestions...the Weapon X facility in the Canadian wilderness, Counter-Earth, Lemuria, the Mole Man's kingdom, Monster Isle, and a locale from the Age of Apocalypse.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Man...Predictions for Blaze is to go 8-3. He's got a great line-up!

 

[Harlekin]

Eh, I'd like some populated battles myself as well.

 

[POWdER-man]

Actually our locations this round WERE pretty exotic..

Attilan
Man Thing's swamp
Mount St Helen
Hades
Snow covered Himalayas
Empire State University - bland but it was intentional
Genosha

Last round I had everything from Mount Olympus, Monster Isle, Doom's Castle, Savage Lands, to the Dessert ruins...of course I had a few bland ones but they can't all be extreme locations. Plus I like adding a bit of mix. ie the bridge with cars going by was a twist....

 

[POWdER-man]

Eh, I'd like some populated battles myself as well.

At the most I will put "minimal" civilians in the area. Other than that I would rather leave that out.....

 

[JewishHobbit]

Can we post the Bloodaxe vs Spidercide in my thread, and do the Guardian vs Abyss during round 3...i'm just asking because I have about half of my debate done for Bloodaxe vs Spidercide, and nothing for Guardian vs Abyss, and I probably won't have time to write one up for that match-up...but if it was just in the regular thread I could do some very minimal debating with it.

Yeah, that's cool. I'm flexible. Abyss and Guardian has been easier debates anyhow... I don't think I have another Bloodaxe Spidercide debate in me with all the other matches I have coming up.
