LM Classic: Yraelz vs. feverish

Thanks again, I had almost forgotten how enjoyable these kind of debates were. Monkey. I hope that readers and judges do take the time to read Monkey's wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org... rather than just taking my opponent's carefully quote mined extract at face value. The story makes it clear that the titles he was temporarily rewarded with in heaven were intended merely to "put him off". Monkey wanted to become a god but despite his best efforts, the heavenly host never accepted him amongst their ranks, giving him meaningless posts (stable hand and gardener) that he was quick to reject. Stealing the property of gods and beating them up does not make one a god. Yraelz provides a link to the godchecker site, described on Monkey's wiki page as "tongue-in-cheek". This is a humorous site and not a reliable source. I have already provided a link to a serious mythological site that clearly lists Monkey as a hero and not a god, in the same way as in Greek mythology characters like Perseus and Theseus were heroes, not gods. http://docs.google.com... It should also be noted that while "all known methods of execution" have failed against Monkey, he is not invincible. He has been successfully subdued and contained twice; once for 49 years and once for 500. __________ Street Level. Yraelz suggests that his non-street level characters should be permitted simply because he invited me to also break this rule. I don't see how sticking with a team that I have researched thoroughly and done well with up till now can be described as "handicapping" myself. Yes I had an "equal opportunity" to break this rule but I chose to follow the tournament guidelines instead. Please note that it is my opponent who began this debate by challenging the legality of one of my characters. He admits his deception in claiming Emma as street-level when he clearly didn't regard her as such in his first debate but continues to insist that Black Alice is street level. "she has no super power, nor strength; ultimately no notable power of her own." Her power is that she can rob two full strength characters of all their powers, leaving them powerless and become far stronger than either. This is exactly how Yraelz is attempting to use her in this battle and it makes her twice as powerful as anyone on my team, clearly not street level. _________ Negative one Second. I thank Yraelz for clarifying exactly which rule he is attempting to break here: "Sentry reaches the moment the round starts one second before everyone else." It is clear that to reach something one must be travelling towards it. For Sentry to reach a point in time ahead of the normal time line, he must be travelling through time which clearly contravenes rule 13. http://ddofans.com... __________ Sentry. At no point in my opponent's opening round did he mention sunlight. On the contrary, he specified hard light constructs and sunlight is certainly not solid. Regarding my team's sensory technology; Yraelz suggests that heat based vision may be impaired but with heat gradation, unless his team are exactly the same temperature as their environment they will still be visible to my team. He has ignored the point about basic light filtering and there are a range of other vision modes such as bio and motion sensing available to all of my armoured characters (see wiki sources). Regarding Monkey's eyesight, "Instead of killing him, the fire and smoke added to the monkey a pair of firy golden crystal eyes that can see through what people normally can not." http://www.china-on-site.com... Monkey's vision is vulnerable to smoke but he can see through darkness, light, solid objects and trickery. Dracula has no eyes in mist form, none of my team are blinded. Sentry's mindwipe powers are being hideously misrepresented by Pro. This is a power Sentry used completely involuntarily, on just one occasion, with a lot of help. It did not erase all memories, merely memories regarding the Sentry himself, it was imperfect and it also affected the Sentry. There is no occasion of Sentry performing a targeted mindwipe on any individual and the occasion when he implanted false memories was also a complete one-off. http://img442.imageshack.us... "Not only will he NEVER remember the Sentry, but HE'LL make it so NO ONE remembers the Sentry. And he won't even know he's doing it." Pro: "being able to even tell that a butterfly was existing in Africa would mean that Sentry could tell the correct distance from himself as well as the correct latitude." It should be noted that the Wiki describes this feat as a "claim" rather than a fact. http://en.wikipedia.org... It should also be noted while viewing this page that there is indeed a full stop after the sentence: "His main weakness may be that he's been shown as susceptible to mental manipulation." This is contrary to my opponent's false assertion that this refers only to the void. "Never once has Sentry been overcome from an external mental force." This is simply not true. The Sentry is frequently shown to be mentally fragile. Emma Frost once performed what is described on comic book forums as a "mind rape" on him, Dr Doom was once able to incapacitate him with a simple mind spell, Tony confused him by bombarding him with radio messages and he often breaks down and cries under stress. His mind would be easy prey for magical manipulation from Dracs. http://i47.tinypic.com... http://media.photobucket.com... http://media.photobucket.com... http://www.google.co.uk... _______ As entertaining as my opponent's videos are, they don't provide much of an explanation as to how these Bleach powers would operate within real world physics. I would like a description of the "spiritual pressure" power in text form, so that I can effectively counter it. It is not clear to me that any of my characters possess a "spirit" in the implied sense. Invisibility also isn't much of a problem to my team for reasons mentioned above so their speed is the only edge that Ichi and Seph have. Fortunately Drac now controls Sentry, whose molecules can move faster than either of them. My eleven monkey kings and Ironman are also no slouches in the speed department. Predator is also equipped with his point defense system http://en.wikipedia.org... a plasma laser that targets incoming projectiles such as samurai. He is also like Ichi, virtually invisible thanks to his cloaking device. _______ Once Sentry has deactivated his hard light constructs he can turn his attention to his former team mates and the rest of my guys can also unleash on them. Yes Seph and Ichi are fast but they will be hugely outnumbered and outclassed, especially against Sentry and multiple monkeys, if at any point things start to get hairy (no pun) then any of my monkeys can begin the cloning process again. Even if we were to permit Black Alice in this battle, she can't drain the powers of more than two of my monkeys and would be defeated based on the simple equation that 2m<11m where m=monkey king. Alice would also not be able to clone herself in the same way because women generally don't have chest hair and she adopts the powers rather than the physical traits of her victims. It seems to me that the "spiritual pressure" tactic is Pro's only real chance of success in this battle and I eagerly await an explanation of how it works. Thanks. Con.
