Twisted Tag Tournament discussion Thread

cyberwolf77

Tournament will officially start on 14 February 2011. I chose to start this thread first to prevent any questions people may have about it from cluttering up The Lair. Anyhoo the rules are as follows:
1. 24 hours for each bout.
2. Bouts starting on Friday will continue until Monday
3. Give a reason, any reason for your selection's victory in the bout.
4. No deus ex machina will be allowed
5. Six votes for victory. Should time expire before a team reaches six votes the team ahead wins. Ties will be decided by random draw from among those participants who have voted on the bout. They will be given 12 hours to confirm their vote.
6. Certain competitors will have their available tech decided by myself. (In other words Han Solo has his blaster, and a certain Starfleet officer has his phaser. They will not however have access to their respective ships or crews).

Yeah, and you notice how little I voted in the last one. Protest vote it was, no vote make I did.

Actually Han failed to appear in the Heart's Desire tournament. he also got eliminated in Round 1 of the Humanitas tournament. I hope he does better in this one.

But they all have supa powahs Doomy... a sonic boom would be a distinct advantage.

I will only allow the useof the sonic boom in the event of facing an opponent who also has ranged attacks. In other words, when someone pulls a gun on him.

Sonic boom is not a super power, it's artistic license of being able to whip your hands at lightning fast speed. Guile doesn't believe in any of that noncy focusing your chi crap.

Of all the Street Fighters, to be fair, the family man is probably the least powered. They even call him "the man with 2 moves" because of it.

Here's hoping he gets to tell a few people to go home and be family men.

Especially if they're women.

Thus the reason he made it in over some of the others

He has a fair chance of surviving Round 1. Beyond that doesn't look so good for him.

I distinctly remember jumping over his little whirly yoke from the other side of the screen... sounds fishy to me. Fishy.

As I said, artistic license.

Guile is supposed to be the master of a unique martial art which involves whipping your arms and feet at incredible speed. That's what the boom in a sonic boom is. In game terms (switch off here if you don't like fighting games) the sonic boom makes Guile unique as it has a charge start up but virtually no recovery, so Guile is able to use it defensively and be extremely safe or offensively mid combo (very rare for a projectile).

Anyway... THIS version of Guile was so badass he didn't even need the boom, just the flash kick

But non jokingly, this is the version we're talking about here. Not supernatural, just total brick wall.

I'm guessing we'll be seeing some fighting games fans coming by for this tourney.

If they do, it'll be to kill Guile off- everyone hates him in Ireland cos of myself and Simon Lau

His match is taking place aboard an aircraft carrier. NIce nod to his origins and all I feel.

After watching that clip it makes you wonder why they picked Van Damme to play Guile instead of Dolph Lundgren. He even sounds like him!

Because Lundgren couldn't pull off the flash kick, or Van Damme was the name they wanted to use to sell tickets

Galvasean

But Lundgren has a degree in chemical engineering. he could probably make something that looks like a sonic boom!

For anyone who wonders why I chose Stephanie brown over Cassandra Cain for this tournament's Batgirl entrant see the following:

Yeah baby!!!!

Doctor DooM

Is that Bruce Wayne she's slapping?

If so he deserves it, as do the ENTIRE writing crew for what they did in that stupid war games arc.

cyberwolf77

Pretty sure it is Bruce she's putting in his place.

This time I checked to make sure they were all completely human. There will be no rules lawyering this time around(see Cap in the Humanitas Tournament)
