The Official Contest of Marvels 3 Discussion Thread

As much as I would like to give Powder a run for his money with regard to Psycho Man, I really do not feel like defending a character I know cléose to nothing about. I will let the voters decide and take what may come.
 
Well, since everyone else is okay with letting the matches stand as is, I'll do the same for Veranke and Omega Red.
 
Man, we're overdue to close voting but it's such a small turnout I hate to do it. Not to mention we're still waiting on Harlekin and Powder to vote in Threads 2 and 3 and Harlekin in 4 for fear of negating their other votes.

I guess I'll give it a few more hours unless Phaed, when you get on, you feel that it's been enough time. I don't feel right just closing it myself due to my and Powder's Omega Red/Spider-Woman (Veranke) match being off by 1 vote and closing it now would make me win (either way, Powder loses his vote for Omega Red but I'd lose Harlekin's vote for Veranke, so it'd balance out). It just doesn't seem fair for me to do it just yet.
 
Both Harlekin and Powder got their votes in so I went ahead and closed the matches down. Here are the advancing matches for round 2:

Spider-Woman (Veranke) (JewishHobbit) vs. Psycho-Man (POWder-Man)

I am not heart broken about Dusk as she was my last pick but losing Omega Red sucks.
 
With a proper debate I'm not sure how it would have turne out.

And out of curiosity, where did you get the information about her resistance to poisons and such are only when injected? I didn't read that in any of the bios I saw.
 
With Round 1 officially in the books, here is the final outcome of the Hobbit Brigade.

Some major disappointments early on. The biggest upset for me was losing Juggernaut to Warlock (Phalanx). I still feel like I should have won that one. But the biggest disappointment on my behalf is losing Nova, as I feel I could have done so much better on that match and could have won it. I was distracted by not having World Mind due to a couple issue gap of where the deadlines fell when he had it before and got him back just recently. However, I overlooked all the other awsome things Nova had going for him due to my disappointment and let the defeat take me. I could have won it if I tried harder. And he was my First Round draft pick, so that one hit me pretty hard.

The matches I feel the most accomplished in winning (because I didn't think I had a shot) was Kaine's defeating Deadpool. It was a lot of fun to write but I expected the defeat... but in the end I ended up smoking him. That was an unexpected shock and I think my favorite win of the round. Other notable wins I didn't expect was Junkpile's defeating Gambit and Titan defeating Punisher. I will say the win I think I'll savor the most this round is, due to the playful rivalry, Prince of Orphans defeating Phaed's Chrome.

And to my joy, all of the Immortal Weapons that I own have advanced (Fat Cobra, Prince of Orphans, and Davos). I did lose the Iron Fist villain, Zhou Cheng, but it was a great match that went into a rematch, so no real regret there. He made a good showing.

And here's the final layout of how my wins and losses went including all the added characters I gained throughout the season. 52 characters. 36 wins and 16 losses (and 4 of them were to myself). That's what... about 65% if I had to guess? Never have been very good at figuring percentages out. I'll have a new chart set up for round 2 and I'm excited to get the 2nd half of the game started :)

I am not heart broken about Dusk as she was my last pick but losing Omega Red sucks.

Isn't Omega Red one of those characters who has been consistent losing early on in all three season of CoM? Guys got some serious bad luck.

I just got back from taking the kids to Ice Age 3D. Just like the other two, this movie is ok. Kids like it. I don't know what it is, though...that series and Madagascar really doesn't do much to me. To me, it's always the poor man's Pixar.

I did find five of Marvel's old Graphic Novels of Conan at Half-Priced Books. Those suckers are hard to find, so I was quite happy about that. What I'm most excited about is next week. Half-Priced Books wherehouse in Seattle is having a clearance sale, where nothing is over a dollar. I asked a lady, and she said she believed all comics...no matter what they are...will only be a quarter. I'm going to be there early for when the doors open at nine o'clock, that's for sure.
 
Hey Phaed. Any chance you can post all the round 2 matches?


Also, POWder... I know in the past you enjoyed getting together an "Awards" ceremony after the first round. You up to it again?
 
Yeah, I was going to do Round 2 later this week, as all that info is at work. I have to reinstate Vanguard's characters, edit Round 1 into Round 2, and then I'll have it up and posted.

Hope everyone had a great 4th! I'm heading out now to get my son a video game he's been wanting: Red Faction 3.
 
Glad everyone had a good weekend. I was at a wedding myself in the south of France.

So when does next round start?
 
Should be Friday. We're taking the week off.

And I went and saw Transformers lastnight. I thought it was good but not quite as good as the first one. I kinda felt like it was a little too frantic and not as smooth as the first one. All-in-all though, I enjoyed it.

I wanted to see Star Trek moreso than Transformers due to how much people seem to like it but the last showing was at 7:30 and I was looking for a 10:00 o'clock showing. So hopefully I'll see Star Trek soon, though most likely I'll have to wait until it's on DVD.
 
Ok just note that next week I will be gone as of Thursday morning so hopefully voting will have started by then.

Do we know the what round 2 looks like. I know I have at least a few matches.
 
Phaed's going to be posting all the matches for Round 2 sometime this week so we know.
 
Is there anyone who would like to keep the characters that they debated for Vanguard? Our new rule was if you debate, you can keep. (Like, I know that Powder put in a debate for Abomination this last week.)

Currently, I put the brackets back to normal, with Vanguard's name by his old characters. If you wish to keep your debated character, it's within your rights to do so. Just PM me, and I'll fix the brackets.

I don't think I debated any of his characters...well, the ones that won, I mean. The Hood got beat; so, he's gone.

Brackets will be up later today for what people will have in Round 2. Then, I'll probably post the brackets tomorrow or the next day for those who want to get an early debate in.
 
Me neither and I didn't really debate for Abomination as JH conceded. Although I wouldn't mind keeping him, I will give him back to Vanguard to be fair.

As for the awards, I would love to do this again but unfortunately right now I am way too busy. I barely have time for this alone, so I will have to pass.

Did RandomHavoc come back and I missed it? I notice his characters are listed still.
 
Good idea sending the match template to the CoMarvels name. Might be good to PM the matches too so it's readily available.
