7-C Tournament - Tiersetter: Great Shinobi Owl





Tiersetting Mechanic

To ensure fairness and consistency, this tournament will not use arbitrary stat limits or restricted abilities. Instead, characters must have at least a small chance of losing to a designated tiersetter character:


Tiersetter: Owl (Father)
AP: 16 kilotons of TNT

Characters that are too strong to lose to Owl in a standard vs battle setting reasonably will not be accepted or will be disqualified.





Eligibility Criteria

  • Your submission must have at least a small chance of losing to the tiersetter under Standard Battle Assumptions (SBA).
  • The starting distance is 50 meters
  • Characters must be 7-C
  • The chance of losing must be legitimate; this would include valid wincons outlined (death, incapacitation, immobilization), and should not be reliant on obscure interpretations or random mechanics (e.g., coin flips, wildly variable probability effects).
  • Abilities with implied but unconfirmed instant-kill effects do not qualify unless loss to Owl is reasonably expected in multiple match simulations.
  • Characters undergoing notable revisions that might affect their tier or abilities are not allowed.
  • All characters must be accepted under the site's Versus Thread Rules.
  • The organizer is free to accept or reject for any other reasons not stated in the rules at their discretion




Submission Rules

  • Characters must be submitted with a specified key for match-ups
  • If sufficient submissions are received, priority will be given to characters from different users and different verses.
  • If your character is disqualified, it will be replaced by a listed backup.
  • A maximum of one main character and one backup per user is preferred, but more may be allowed if space permits.




Match Rules

  • Speed is equalized by default, but may remain unequalized if one character can mitigate the speed gap (e.g., through passives, resistances, durability advantages, etc.).
  • Matches will use SBA unless specified otherwise.
  • Rules are subject to changes on a per-match basis to make them fairer or more interesting
  • If a match is deemed inconclusive, the advancement will be decided on a coin toss. If this happens, a new opponent may enter after the stalemate begins.
  • If a match is stalled due to a lack of votes, the host may declare an outcome at their discretion. These decisions are only for tournament purposes, not for profile additions.




Disqualification Handling

  • Round 1: If a character is disqualified, their backup will replace them. If no valid backup exists, a backup from another user may be used.
  • Round 2 onward: If disqualified, the opponent defeated in the previous round may re-enter in their place. If no backups are available or replacements are exhausted, the disqualified character is treated as having lost.



How does Owl fight?

Owl's Prime key is used here, meaning he will use a variety of tools to create space between himself and his opponents. His shurikens work at range, and he will often deploy debilitating and disruptive fireworks in between combos. He can use a variety of tools to also close the distance with moves similar to Chasing Slice and Shadowfall to attack his opponents.

Owl's prime tool in his arsenal is his spirit owl, able to use to protect himself from blows, allowing himself to become one with it and protect himself from being vulnerable in strings of attacks, which makes hitting him incredibly difficult. He can then use this Owl to prepare ambushes, allowing more maneuverability that lets him get behind or above opponents in a fight.

funnily enough, i was planning on finishing/posting ye shunguang's profile soon since we finally got the VH buffs implemented. would she be eligible for this tourney? i could probably get her page finished and up within the next day or two
 
Well, you'd have to argue she could lose to the tiersetter, and Idk if she would but I'm open to anything lol
 
7-C, Max potential.

Way of losing... simply being outlasted or lethally hit/stabbed. Witch Hunters aren't known for their longevity, they have the constitution of a peak human.

I will say, If I get Mathias Thulmann done AND he ends up 7-C, I will ask for free reign to change to him if the tournament hasn't started.

i guess you could argue her getting outstatted, she's a bit weaker in AP (about a 1.6x difference give or take) and she's also massively outclassed as far as LS goes

shunguang wouldn't resist the paralysis from his electric manip which could open her up for getting incapped maybe. aside from that he could also just try outlasting the white-haired form and then just get an easy W from there
 
Aight, fair enough for Ye Shunguang. Will be waiting for her profile to be posted, and then I'll add her

As for Witch Hunters... looks good. You can go ahead and just put it in as your backup if you want to add Mathias Thulmann.

I have no idea if he'll be done by the time the Tournament starts, hence why I've requested this kind of Scenario.

If the Tournament has started, oh well. If it hasn't, I'll switch.
 
Yall know I gotta send my goat in, Mash Burnedead
He's at the very least 31 kilotons for performing his feat with a casual backhand, but he's just a walking stat brick. Make sure to restrict his higher values though, and glue those weights on.

Could Lance also work? He's also at least 31 kilotons, but his Secondth would have to be restricted on account of his absurd LS and AP amp to 310 kilos

Not to revive this, but what about her Spatial Manipulation?

he doesn't have regen does he? cause uhhh yeah i think a single space slash from shunguang would probably just kill him instantly 💀

if shunguang's too strong cause of her kit i could swap in miyabi instead. i think she'd be more prone to getting taken advantage of by the LS gap + she doesn't have VV baked into her kit like shunguang does. she'd still also be vulnerable to getting incapped/made vulnerable by the electricity since she doesn't resist it

He has a 2x AP advantage and upscales from the current value. Already, there is a massive AP gap from the tiersetter, as well as a massive LS gap. He doesn't resist Geni's hax, but I can't seem to find a way for Genichiro to win here, not to mention the page is marked as Outdated so I'm not too sure.

Lance looks a little better

Oh wait its 2x? I thought I read 30 kilos for Geni. Well anyways, it's not a massive gap at all when the one shot values are an 8x difference, I wouldn't say AP is a big issue here. But I guess his LS and skill are crazy.
Lance looks a little better
Is he though? Honestly I saw him as worse considering he spawns his gravitational force above peoole to pin them down as his starting move, so with that LS.... yeah.
 
Child Emperor. Upscales greatly from 16.06 Kilotons.
 
I propose this as a stage.
The VSBW Forum Front Page!
They are fighting on the vs battle tab thing. Just imagine the teal background colour as the free space, and anything that isn't it a platform or solid object or whatever. Fall out of bounds from that space/picture in general and it's a ring out.

I've updated the tiersetter for a slightly stronger and more skilled character with a more reliable method of avoiding getting hit, to at least give some leeway for stronger, more interesting characters.

Does Mash have a chance at getting in then? If not, then I now nominate Dot Barrett
 
I wanna enter a Sonic Boom character but the top tiers upscale from no-selling 48.31491178 kilotons and all the other profiles are outdated.
