It seems it's the tournament of the humans this time. Of special note I'm gonna say that antwomen are definitely higher-tier than they're represented so far. If you're looking for a unique niche that isn't a joke, try an ant. Gremlins, on the other hand, have actually been buffed but are still a risky proposition like you wouldn't believe.

I'm representing, the ant-woman seemed like a good build for what I planed, so I went with her. Can't wait for this tournament to start so I can start equipping her.

I'm going into the tournament blind, I know it might be prudent to test, but I want it to be a surprise to see if my idea for a build will work.

I built my fighter, of course in my planing I got my math wrong for certain things, so when I was halfway through my purchases I realized I got some things wrong. Aw well, I'm still pretty pleased with my build and if I survive round one I can get get the rest of what I wanted.

Can't wait for this, Its going to rock.

Also generally what would you guys say is more important, better equipment or better skills?

I think I got a good build for my ant woman. I just want to make it past the first round, then I can feel like I've accomplished something in life.

Alright, I can't wait to see the Battle Royale results.

BATTLE ROYALE, CLICKIRIAN, BINARY MARY, 100.

Go Ant Woman

Actually, my bet was for Binary Mary, not Crotch Rot, other than that though, awesome spread sheet.

I'm curious, what were the two Ant-Women's skills, or did they go into the fight unskilled?

Jazzimus Prime posted:

Atom Ant in Adamant's skills were:

Level 3 Fighting (90 points)
Level 4 Mace (300 points)
Level 1 Biting (10 points)

And items:
Silver Flail (300 points)
Adamantine Helm (600 points)

Okay, thank you. Did you buy the Adamantine helm because Ant-People have vulnerable heads or because it looks cool?

Instead of internal bones, ant women have external chitin. This means that they lack skulls entirely. For most purposes, the lack of bones means they suffer much less pain and their limbs aren't crippled as easily by bashing weapons. However, head shots can do them in with even greater ease than most species.

Okay, that makes sense, I might need to change something for my character.

Crap, I'm fighting a Gremlin the first round, I hope my build can hit him. Antwoman V.S Gremlin, who will win?

# ¿ Jul 30, 2011 07:55

Jimmy4400nav: Apr 1, 2011; Ambassador to Moonlandia

My god, I can't wait for the carnage to begin. The fight I'm looking most forward to is the last one in the schedule, Minotaur v.s Gremlin, sure to be an instant classic.

Jimmy4400nav: Apr 1, 2011; Ambassador to Moonlandia

That was a pretty good first round, I love the goblin v.s yeti round, it was pretty entertaining. I'm still waiting eagerly for the Yeti V.S Gremlin final round for the first round.

Vox Nihili posted:

This isn't true anymore. All fighters generate with average stats for their race now, which is ultimately good for the little guys, since they will always get the first strike. They do need the superior skill levels though, because if they can't land a solid hit on their first few strikes, they probably won't get many more chances.

So would a highly skilled Gremlin theoretically have a fighting chance against a Yeti if he had awesome stats?

I crave BLOOD!!!. When shall the next match commence? I wait with baited breath for the next results.

Jimmy4400nav: Apr 1, 2011; Ambassador to Moonlandia

A quick question, I placed a bet and won (admittedly I placed a bet for the other person that same round). did my winning and losing cancel each other out, or did I win some funds, because I was going to use any potential winnings to bet on more matches.

If this was in the instructions, sorry if I missed it.

I worked late tonight, but I'll try to get through a match or two to placate the masses. If not, I will be able to run a bunch tomorrow.

Awesome, can't wait, I'm just happy whenever a match runs.
