Sorry for the late vote everyone, but I have to agree with @kevd4wg when he says this debate was pretty weak (no offense to you guys).
First of all, I want to talk about the Loki/Hal team. I felt like leaving @all-father out of the last post was a horrendous strategy (IDK whether it was planned or whether AF just didn't have time) that had no benefit for anyone except the other team. Secondly, I've got to say that a couple of the arguments KOL made weren't great (like the argument to counter intangibility), and overall your team focused way too much on character and perk nitpicks, which reflected badly since GS clearly countered those (some were literally in the OP). I still don't understand why you even thought teleporting a character in front of a beam was against the rules. However, I did think that you guys made a lot better use of scans/evidence than the other team, and didn't do as much low-balling. I'm not sure if, as one of the previous voters said, one of the scans provided was incorrect/misleading or not, so I won't use that in my vote. I also do wish you guys made better use of your prep time, as a few others mentioned.
Now, for the Bellcross/Amazo team. I thought your arguments were, for the most part, actually better than the other team's - logically. However, you guys resorted to so much lowballing and were really bad at using scans/gifs and providing evidence. I think both of gear's last 2 posts had literally zero gifs/evidence in them for his own character. KOL/AF shouldn't need to ask for evidence before you provide evidence for your claims. You guys also low-balled Loki really bad in your last post. And IDK whether Amazo is or isn't above the limits for this tournament, but if he was and you clearly knew JLU Amazo >>> Comics Amazo (even if that's your opinion and not one which others share) then I think it's unfair to choose him as your character.
Overall though, I'm going to have to vote for the latter team since I felt like they at least did counter everything to some extent, even if they low-balled and made claims without evidence. With the former team, I thought some aspects were left uncountered (skipping one of AF's posts didn't help with that) and I can't really say they could win in that case.
