Wiki's Most Skilled: Stop, Bracket Time

[Moritzva]

Welcome to The Skill Arena, with your host, Spike.

The Skill Arena is a site-wide tournament that has absolutely no limits on who can enter (except for a few), where the stakes are fake and your lives don't matter.

Here are the rules:

• All Powers & Abilities are restricted, and all AP, speed, and similar is equalized.
• Both fighters are armed with their ideal, nonmagical weapons.
• Skill only.
• Any character using VSBW characters as a basis, or anyone who gains their best feats through scaling to a VSBW character, is disallowed.

Only 8 contestants will be allowed in my games, though I may extend it to 16.

Without further ado, go!

• 1.
• 2.
• 3.
• 4.
• 5.
• 6.
• 7.
• 8.

Also I may adjust battle conditions to make things interesting, but making it all equal.

"All Powers & Abilities are restricted"

How does this apply to techniques, such as Raphael's attack redirection? It wouldn't be quite as powerful as it normally is but still

 

[Moritzva]

Only if it's purely and 100% skill, which more or less means it can't be a Powers & Ability thing at all.

Though, I am liable to slightly change the rules for individual matches to make it more interesting, if both OC owners deem it fair.

This, after all, is legitimately a fight, not simply a skill debate.

 

[Promestein]

How about Instinctive Reaction?

 

[Moritzva]

If it's purely through skill, then sure.

 

[Promestein]

I'll suggest Mastema and/or Raphael then, don't care which

 

[Spinoirr]

Well I would put Scarlett here

But I chose Taiga Snow mostly because she killed her dad who was skilled af and fought yanald without dieing who had over thousands of years old to hone his skills to prepare for his excape

 

[Moritzva]

Which one is more likely to do well, Prom?

 

[Promestein]

I dunno, Mastema's smarter and more strategically minded, while Raphael has more straightforward skill and better instincts.

 

[Moritzva]

Naturally, I'll toss Your Boy V in if there are no objections.

 

[Akreious]

This is not going to end with a victor at all. There will always be areas where one character beats another and vice versa, making it so you wouldn't truly know who's the victor.

 

[Moritzva]

Yes.

Hence why it's done in battling format.

[Promestein]

I'll just go with Mastema. Valev will be fine.

We need m o r e.
