The DXD Chess Tourney (12/16)

@chromtheexalt: it's not like Ed has some special speed ability. He can do transmutations faster than most, but since Roy keeps his circles on his gloves ( the ones he uses the most) he's no slower at it than Ed

@zetsumoto:

Knight: Jin Kazama

Rook: Gabriel Belmont

Bishop: MCU Loki

Queen: DCEU Enchantress

Eh??? For now?

@zetsumoto: Hmmm. I never realized that.... would you like me to switch him out?... I was loving my "part machine" theam.

@morleericks: Jin, Gabriel, and Loki break limits for the classes you put them in.

Also, I'm surprised you didn't take King Bradley as your knight.

@dr_deplorable: Yea, I'd prefer if you swapped him for someone else, or moved him to a different role. He seems like he'd actually make for a decent knight. His brother would be a decent Rook as well.

@zetsumoto:

Ok then just switch them to whatever classes they fit.

He isn't taken already?

Well MCU Loki's physical stats are pretty in-line with the knight though he lacks speed (makes up for it with magic though). Gabriel is easily strong enough to be a queen (if you swing that way. kek), and Jin is flat out over the limits (eh, human restricted Jin could maybe be let in as a queen).

No one has taken Bradley yet.

@zetsumoto: I skimmed the rules. As usual.

I will keep MCU Loki and Enchantress. I'll figure out the rest.

@zetsumoto: can you reserve me a spot

The websites back!!!

Yep! God is merciful

@zetsumoto: Reserve me.

@zetsumoto: Oh yeah, and chuck us mind link + perfect teamwork pls

@just_banter said:

@zetsumoto: Wait, Artemis is definitely too fast to be my rook. Give me some time to figure my rook out.

Edit: I think I'll go with Post-Flashpoint Mera. She has a showing against Superman but it's PIS. Otherwise she's somewhat bulletproof and still pretty damn strong. You might restrict her ability to rapidly dehydrate people as well.

@zetsumoto:

look ok? (i have back ups)

Knight: Rai-Dei (Trigun/manga only)

Rook: Optimus Prime (Micheal Bay) - i seen others are using people like Luke Cage & Sloth. so i figured he would be ok. (size is the only big difference between him & them)

Bishop: lina inverse (slayers - no Giga or Dragon Slave. *those are her only 2 spells that surpass the cap)

Queen: Seras Victoria (Hellsing - EoS)

Fodder: 8 tachikomas (GitS)

I'm 'bout to light this tournament up

@zetsumoto:

• Knight: 616 Gorgon (assuming petrification isnt allowed?)
• Rook: General Glauca
• Bishop: ??
• Queen: ??
• Pawns: ??
• Perk: ??

@captain_inverse: I think the size makes Optimus a huge outlier. I could see it if you made his size more or less double the average human. (Hell, you could still have some wierd logic defying rule to let him still transform into a full sized semi.)

@zetsumoto: CaV me with the same concept, but fantasy-based and lower tier? o;

Still wish I had Prime

@captain_inverse: I'm going to say no to Optimus.

@arkbound: No petrification, but you can have Gorgon.

As what class? Also, how fast is she? RWBY characters seem to be pretty fast overall, and she seems to scale to them to some degree.

@zetsumoto: Her speed feats are nonexistent. She stands still on the battlefield for the most part . She has flying knives she controls.. they also shoot lasers.

Yea but she's able to keep up and react to the other RWBY characters, right?

Anyways, what class did you have in mind for her? If you want her as replacement bishop, her physicals are way too good for that.

@zetsumoto:

• Knight: Reloaded Neo (if you limit/nerf his flight, I think he should fit)

• Rook: DCEU Faora

• Bishop: Dumbledore (will probably change later)
• Queen: TBA
• Pawns: TBA
• Perk: TBA

@jucaslucasa: lol you should pick voldemort. xD

@zetsumoto: Nah, Dumbledore is better.

@jucaslucasa: if Faora isnt to fast she is probably one of the best rooks you could pick, good scoop

@arkbound: Her best speed feat is about blur speed, so I think she fits.

@zetsumoto: alright.. I'll think it out again.

@zetsumoto: Could I maybe switch my rook to pre-timeskip Gaara limited to either no tailed-beast transformation or only partial transformation?

@chromtheexalt: I think he's a little fast, but I'll throw him in for now.

@zetsumoto: so queen just needs to be around high street/ low mid tier right?

guessing they shouldn't be able to clown spiderman 9/10?

Being able to beat spiderman is fine. Every character has advantages/disadvantages. Spiderman is great because between his speed, webs, and precog; if he comes gunning for your king, your team would be pretty hard-pressed to stop him. You could have a queen that's more powerful, but it won't help if he just zips past and webs your king for the checkmate.

@chromtheexalt: @zetsumoto: Wait, you're letting in PTS Gaara as a rook? Really?

I didn't remember that scene from the anime, and I have never read the manga. I figured if he did anything over the top, he'd just lose points with the voters.

@zetsumoto: His entire skill set is over the top lmao

Oh, and that was the sand tsunami he used against Kimimaro. 95% sure it was in the anime

I was thinking more Chuunin exam feats against Rock Lee, but okay.

@zetsumoto: Well I know what argument I'll be making if I go against him XD

@zetsumoto: Actually, could I grab Fate/Kaleid Bazett as a Rook?

@zetsumoto: I'll join

@zetsumoto: Knight: (Legends) Aurra Sing

Idk the rest

@just_banter: Let me clarify. I'm going with chunin exam feats only.

@zetsumoto: Queen: Masked Spider (Cartoon Hooligans)

@zetsumoto: Hey, Neo gets his flight restricted, but it's not him pre flight. He wasn't even the One before learning how to fly.

@zetsumoto: Save me a Spot, I may not follow through however, I get iffy on wanting to debate 2+ Characters at a time.

(In other words I'm probably going to cave and join anyways)
