Low Mid Tier Challengers Tournament. Sign Ups Open (21/22).

Welcome one and all to the mid tier tornado tag team challenger tourney! This is how it'll work, each player chooses 2 mid tier characters that fit within the rules, 3 solo perks and 1 team perk. Then once everyone chooses their team members, the game begins. But the difference between this tourney and others is 1. Once you beat an opponent you get to steal their team perk and 2. You get to choose your opponent after round 1.

Main Rules:

• The Battle rules will be like this:
• BFR is not allowed.
• Teamwork is basic, but if your team has conflicting morals, teamwork is non-existant mostly.
• Battle starts 30 meters away from the enemy.
• Challengers go first.
• You must post at least 3 times a round and within 8 days after your opponent does.
• Your character can come from anywhere (anime, manga, Marvel, DC, indie comics, movies, TV, books, etc.).
• Voting lasts 8 days, if no one votes then I will.
• Votes must contain at least one reason why the vote was decided that way, and two sentences explaining why.
• There are 16 slots open but if we reach 24 participants, I'll make this a 24 man tourney.
• Rules breakers will be punished.
• I get final say on everything, but I will address any and all conserns to the best of my ability.

Character Rules:

• Strength is at 165 tons/Town Busting Level.
• Durability is at mountain level.
• Combat speed is mach 65/Massively Hypersonic.
• Reaction speed is maxed at lightning speed.
• Energy projection is at Metropolis Busting.
• Damage output for other powers is also Metropolis Busting at most.
• Nerfing will be allowed to some extent.
• Internal attacks are mostly not allowed.
• No unblockable attacks.
• 1 hit KO attacks are also mostly not allowed.
• Reality warping is not allowed.
• Telepaths cannot mind control or use psychic attacks to 1 hit KO enemies.
• Soul manipulators cannot 1 hit KO enemies or use an undefendable hax ability.
• Time manipulation is allowed, however you can only slow down time during the battle.
• Intangibility is only allowed for defensive pruposes. However the user can't use the ability throughout the whole fight.
• Hax abilities will be reviewed by me, however participants may question my decision with arguements.
• Summons are allowed but you can only summon 3 Spider-Man level beings at a time (or 15 Batman level beings or 25 Damian Wayne level beings).
• You can only summon twice per dight (either 6 Spider-Men, 30 Batmen or 50 Damian Wayne level beings, you can use a mix of that as well).
• TK cannot attack an opponent internally and is limited at 165 tons as well.
• Specelized TK (like bending) may go over 165 tons, and is maxed at 175.
• Healing can heal you from limbs getting chopped off, but cannot bring you back from a single cell. In other words Regeneration should be around Sayian Saga Piccolo/Tokyo Ghoul/Invincible.
• Physical stats have exceptions, the less power a character has in one category (speed, strength durability, powers etc.) the more leeway the character gets in either the speed or strength categories. For example, Northstar being just peak human and possessing no other powers, is allowed. Another example would be (wet) Namor, The Thing, Red Hulk or Steel.
• Hax/Powers have exceptions as well, the less physically powerful a character is, the less hax they have or the less power they have, the more leeway the character gets in the Power category (and it's limits). For example Madrox would be allowed as he is only peak human and posses no other mid tier powers (100 clones) . Another example would be Archer, Charles Xavier, Billy Numerous or Midnighter.

Challanger Mechanic:

After the first round (where I randomize the battles) participants will get to challenge other participants whether they agree to it or not. If two people challenge the same person, then the one who challanged first gets the fight. The challenge period will last 2 days, if no one challanged you and you didn't challenge anyone, I'll set up your match.

• Hexproof. Your character becomes immune to all types of direct magic, even ones that amp him. However, energy blasts, elemental attacks and such still damage you.

Team Perk: Fair Fight.

Also, tag me if you want to sign up/reserve.

Sign ups open on Jan 13-15. Right now I'm looking for input and things I should change to balance this tourney.

Edited the sign up date again, since it seems good enough right now.

The rule on intangibility is lame and weak , it looks to video game like for a standard use

Either ban it or get rid of the rule and make a better one like use it for defense and not offense

@smxlr8: Okay. I'll let it be used for defense only, but say that the user can't stay intangable for the whole fight. Better?

@major_hellstorm: I guess , if this was high level then the then there should be no such rules

@smxlr8: Well it's just a mid tier tourney. These guys shouldn't be able to bust a country while high tiers one shot moons.

@major_hellstorm:

If a character can cut a small mountain in half would that character be allowed?

@major_hellstorm:

Strength is at 75 tons (max).

Do you mean literally have no feats above this level or like a guidebook entry?

Because DCEU Superman or MCU Hulk would be way above 75 tons but some comic characters who would be listed at that level of strength would still have better feats.

@major_hellstorm: Reserve me.

@major_hellstorm: you mine as well turn this into a street level tournament. I can't think of any mid tier person that can't lift 75 tons

75 tons, but mach 75 speed? That is really awkward lmao. 75 tons is carnage level. But Mach 75 is faster than a lot of high tiers. Also mountain level durability is waaaaaaayyyyy higher than what a 75 tonner can do withbrute force.

Strength seems off considering the durability.....

@major_hellstorm: Still going through and reviewing to make sure my characters match your limits but right now il tentatively take

Jeon Jae-San from God of Highschool

and Esdeath from Akame Ga Kill

^This. 1000 tons should be all right.

@major_hellstorm: Can we reserve characters at this stage?

@arkbound:

I need some feats for them.

Yes.

Sure thing.

Anyone above Spider-Man in strength is a mid tier, you really can't come up with anyone?

What should I change the speed too? Yes, but powers can amp attacks to city busting (it'll take around three attacks to KO a mountain buster, IMO). This is a power centered tourney.

75 tons by feats.

This was supposed to be a power centered tourney, but how much should I amp the strength limits?

1000 tons seems a bit much.

Well yes, but this is the stage where limits will change so I wouldn't recomend it.

@major_hellstorm: change strength from tons to a busting limit city - mountain. Easier to visualize and more wiggle room to think of characters.

@americanspeeddemon: I'll make it city busting plus 500 tons for some. I'm thinking of adding a new clause, so that purely physical fighters can join, basically, for every speed/strength/durability/power point removed, a strength/speed point is added. Basically allowing characters like Northstar or Invincible in without taking away the power centered theme. How does that sound?

@major_hellstorm: Invincible is a little on the heavy hitting side for this tourney

@arkbound: He's a 500 toner. I think he should fit, if not, wet Namor will be the new poster boy for strength without powers.

@major_hellstorm: Wait so you are changing the strength limit?

@arkbound: I'll make it a square 100. However I'll add a new clause making purely physical fighters like Northstar or (wet) Namor allowed. Basically the weaker you are in one category the more leeway you get in physical stats.

@major_hellstorm: What are we looking at in terms of battle arena? I have someone I want to use, but I need to know that first

@blackestnight93: I have, a mountain, a COD map, a football stadium and a specilized arena. I'll randomize which map to use each fight, but you could use a perk to pick the location.

(Btw, the limits aren't set in stone yet).

@major_hellstorm: I'll keep an eye on this for now. Once everything is set up, I'll let you know if I'll sign up

@blackestnight93: Sure thiing boss. Btw, any comments on balancing issues? Any perk ideas?

@queen_marceline: @shirso: @zetsumoto: Edited the OP. How does it look?

@major_hellstorm: I'd personally make TP and soul resistance 1 feat instead of 2. I'd also reword your equalized speed perk to just apply it to speed overall. I see a loophole there, personally.

@blackestnight93: 1 feat? You make them a twon in one deal? How should I reword it?

Yeah, it's what a lot of people do when they set up their tournaments. I just find it's easier, personally. But it's your call

As for the speed perk, just change it to overall speed, instead of combat speed, closes the loophole

@blackestnight93: Done and done. I also doubled the effect time.

@major_hellstorm: Can you let me know if the following hax is OK?

1. Respawn

2. Teleporting things through time

3. Having a sword that can kill anything, including death

4. Anti-matter

@major_hellstorm: are the limits set now?

@major_hellstorm:

Sign me up with Tian (Feng Shen Ji)

and Keith White (Project ARMS)

If this is ok.

@major_hellstorm: Are two people who can control all 4 elements allowed? Because I have some twins in mind

@Knowledge_King: Nope. It depends. Does it one shot? It depends.

@arkbound: No, the limits will be official at January 15th or if needed I'll stretch it to the 18th.

@redzkz: I'll need some feats from both of them.

Also keep in mind the limits aren't set in stone yet.

@hypnos0929: I don't see why not as long as they both fit in the rules.

@major_hellstorm:

I can reserve Iceman and Smallville Superman. Not sure I will be able to join but I will reserve them.

@hypnos0929:

Are you gonna use the Newmans?

@major_hellstorm:

Would Muzaka from Noblesse be allowed?

You actually consider smallville Superman a mid-tier? The man pushed away a planet

@morleericks: No to Iceman and Superman. This won't start in a while (sign ups open in 5 days, might take a week to fill).

@darthsenju: I have no idea who that is. I'll need feats to judge.

@major_hellstorm: I want Iceman.

@blackestnight93: sshhh. People on CV consider him Mid Tier. He should fit fine.

@major_hellstorm: If characters have been on a team before, does that factor into teamwork?

Whomever considers Smallville superman a mid-tier either has shit judgement at placing characters on tier lists, or has no idea what he's capable of
