Amph The Comic Book Character Draft ReduX [Ed: That's #10 for those keeping score]

I believe that was Shurron arguing for Cannonball.

I think I managed to jag a win for Aquaman once by revealing the extent of his hitherto-underestimated telepathic powers.

 

Nah that was me with Cannonball, but I think it was either Shurron or BaSSiL who posted the scan I was referencing about Cannonball beating Gladiator (although much later in a respect thread I found that he didn't really beat him, just put him out for a few panels and when he got up he was just fine).

That sealed the deal I think.

 

So is the only match were considering horse face v flash. Honestly if it were Thor with Odin force it would be interesting, but peak flash is way to much. Lets keep it moving folks.

On another note, Nate, by comic standards, would probably lose. By logic he owns. Food for thought.

 

My money is on Billy.

Nah... It's arguments. You don't win without arguing. Or drafting people who have previously been heavily argued for. Granted, you have to have a team that actually can be argued for, but there's not a team that's won or even gotten deep into playoffs without substantial time spent on not only showing how good the char is, but also why they would beat the other person.

 

i dunna know, yakface. i made it into the runner-up spot in the second one of these with almost no arguements. i would've won too but the guy i was up against had thanos and darkseid and all sorts of other bad dudes since nobody else seemed to be drafting any super villain teams...

 

i think it's a combination of a lot of things. and it probably at least partially depends on the GM, as it seems that some GMs get more respect because they know what they're doing, so it's kinda assumed that their guys are better since they know what they're doing better. and as a result they don't need to argue as much, but when they do those arguments get a lot more weight as well. i've seen that across drafts though, not just this one.

 

Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh finally someone admits there is a Durron effect!

 

I don't get it. Me and Chim have the opposite effect.

 

Is that like The Zero Effect?

 

Well since we are all hear... want to move this party along?

 

yeah, okay spawn and horseface

 

I know these are different powers, and rarely does the transitive principle work in these drafts, but atom lost to flash who lost to horse face. But honestly I think atom would beat brb.

 

dude, this isn't algebra class. and yeah, i'd give atom the win over bill too.

 

Cool. Ditto. Since I know the last matchup I'll go ahead and start arguing. Genis-Vell, not only is he more powerful than Swamp thing, when he tries to do the whole spirit swapping into another plant, he could contain him in energy and crush him. Quasar has done this before with the quantum bands, containing people and their powers, so I feel confident the Nega bands could do the same.

 

Agree with Spawn, but make mine Flash. I think Horseface is vulnerable to his particular brand of cheese... and I think Wally is just more powerful. And stuff.

 

...

 

Um, yes? I don't care how many times Zoom punches Spawn, he isn't winning (and btw, you guys can keep going on about it all the live-long day, and then some, but I stand by my Doomsday call). He could punch him ten billion-trillion times in a second, and well, good on him. He still ain't winning. And though Zoom may be a poor matchup for Wally and can beat him, he still isn't capable of... quite a few things Wally is capable of. Things that, IMO, make Wally a better overall pick than Zoom, even if he might lose to him one-on-one.

EDIT: Oh yeah... whoops. X-Man wins as well. Tough one, though. Very tough. I like BA's mental resistance, but not to the degree that I don't think Nate couldn't overpower it eventually. Same basically with Sinestro, but to a lesser extent. Honestly could go either way, but I think Shaman Nate (and I've always thought Shaman was his peak) takes the majority,

 

no, that wasn't at you wang. that was at kalar's comment. sorry, should have quoted it.

 

I almost bought it yesterday, just didn't feel the urge to spend $60 though. Haven't been into gaming lately, having a hard time finding something I really like.

Might be a good idea to rent Injustice first, the game play looks good but playing for a weekend probably will help me decide.

 

Did you get the Red Son expansion characters?

I may have to give this a try next weekend.
