Mutant League 01/29/2007 PM L1:L2: Tre Styles vs. element13

[mattbib]

Welcome to our first lower bracket match. The loser of this match will unfortunately be the first to be eliminated from this year's tournament.

In the first corner we have Tre Styles' Alpha Reign (Rogue, Lady Mastermind, Shola Inkosi, Wolverine, Timeslip, SebastianShaw, Strong Guy)

vs.

In the other corner is element13's Champions (Sub-Mariner, Polaris, Tempo, Scanner, Arclight, Fever Pitch, Madison Jeffries)

Both participants have submitted strategies:

[mattbib]

Phase I: Immediately

Shola lifts my team high above the ground, and encases them in a telekinetic bubble, as to avoid any ground quakes from Arclight, or direct energy or physical attacks from Fever Pitch, Sub Mariner or Polaris. They head straight up and then horizontally towards the other team.

Rogue touches Lady M and absorbs some of her power. Together, they create various illusions in the minds of the opposing teams. At first, they focus on Scanner, Polaris, and Tempo.

On Scanner, who could engage them on the astral plane (which isn’t that much a problem, as Lady M has trapped psions such as Sage before in illusions), they make her alter her perceptions so that she is misled to where Alpha Reign actually is, so that she can’t not disrupt Shola’s bubble shield. They also force her to revert to her human form. Which leaves her open for attack. Scanner might break free, because of her connection to the astral plane, if not for the combined effort of Rogue and Lady M.

With Polaris, they place the illusion in her mind that Alex is being attacked by a Sentinel, that "Sentinel" is SubMariner. She attacks the "Sentinel" which is really Namor. Namor is incensed that his teammate attacked him and turns his attention to engage Polaris.

If for some reason, Lady M is attacked on the astral plane and rendered unconscious, it is noted in X-treme X-Men #6 that her illusions tend to continue working even after she is rendered unconscious. But with Rogue backing her up, I don’t think Scanner will get that chance.

With Tempo, the girls make her think that she’s back in the MLF, and that her team, The Champions is in actuality X-Force. She attacks her team with a tachyon field, slowing down the reaction time of the Champions.

Timeslip will also counteract any moves that Tempo makes if she breaks free of the psions control. Such as slowing down time, and/or speeding it back up again. So if Tempo tries to slow down reaction time, then Timeslip will counter that move by either slowing down time as well, or speeding it up.

Phase II

Presumably, the fliers (only Fever Pitch is left in this part) would be attacking Shola’s bubble trying to get in. Shola will push back against them with direct force. He releases Rogue, after she absorbs some of his and Logan’s power, and the team to the ground.

Rogue sets the ground on fire around any of the opposing team, and engages any airbones with fire, telepathic mind games(assisted by Lady M), telekinesis and enhanced strength, healing. She attacks Namor who is still embroiled in battle with a crazy Polaris. She attacks Namor by setting him on fire, which will severely dehydrate him, making him extremely weak, which allows Polaris to think she defeated the "Sentinel" with a final blast of energy. Rogue is protected through a tk shield in case Namor tries to attack her.

Rogue and Lady M make her see Scanner as another Sentinel, and she tries blasting Scanner, who is under a illusion that she is back in the Acolytes, also sees Polaris as an enemy and tries to stop her. The resulting bio- electrical magnetic feedback from Polaris and Scanner interacting causes them to knock each other out.

Shola released Shaw and Strong Guy to the ground directly headed for Arclight. If she tries to disrupt them with vibe shocks in the air, it will only serve to make them stronger as that would be kinetic energy, which makes both guys stronger. A combination of Shaw and Strong Guy landing directly on top of Arclight with fists out, to knock out this powerhouse. If she’s not knocked out by the initial blow, they will continue hammering her until she’s out.

Shola engages Fever Pitch by trapping him within a tk bubble until he is deprived of oxygen, causing his flames to go out, and for Fever to pass out. He then turns his attention elsewhere assisting anyone else he can.

Lady M and Timeslip combine their powers together to create a time illusion where Tempo thinks that her powers are out of flux, she begins to see things speeding up and slowing down, and she thinks her powers are out of control. Lady M then shoots Tempo in the knees. Effectively breaking her concentration totally, and taking her out the game.

Wolverine is engaged with Madison Jeffries, who may or may not be out at this time. With no machines to really control, he begins to rip into Jeffries in a dragged out brawl (cause Jeffries is a fighter, but still no match for Wolverine).Strong Guy backs up Logan just in case Jeffries can somehow take control of the adamantium in Logan’s body, and squeezes him until he passes out.

The team goes out for wings and pizza. Wolverine orders beer.

[mattbib]

Phase 1: Keep in mind, all this happens the very second the fight starts

Tempo gives my entire team enhanced reaction time and super speed
Polaris surrounds my team in a force-field
then Polaris controls the iron in both shaws and Guido’s bloodstream as well as rouges to make them attack Timeslip and lady mastermind, the two most potentially dangerous
http://img243.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fredtxtnz1.jpg
Madison Jefferies creates bands for everyone to make them very resistant top any type of TP attack. He has even been shown to be able to resist Cable
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/A_Flight/weapon_x_v1_012_19_rougher.jpg
While Madison was creating the bands, scanner flew to Shola to fight him. His attacks also won’t work on her, because she is intangible, and he won’t even know where to attack considering that she’s invisible, and her reaction time and speedPhase 2

Fever pitch flies to help take out Lady Mastermind. Her illusions won’t work because 1) she’s too distracted by her own teammates attacking her, and 2) fevers headband. She has no protection, so a few flame blasts which have taken out sentinels easily, will take her out
Namor flies to finish off Shola. Now Namor has broken the bands of Cyroteck, so no TK will have any affect on him. Not to mention that Shola Tires easily
Here...
And here.
And his strength here.
Even if shola is left standing, Madison just fries him. Just look at how powerful his attacks are, and he can even use a sonic blast

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f188/A_Flight5/AlphaFlightv191-03.jpg
Polaris then seizes control over wolverine considering his metal Skeleton, and uses his as a battering ram. Imagine adamantium claws coming at you at around 300 MPH. If Timeslip and rouge haven’t been taken out yet, they will be after this
Basically only Shaw and Guido are left, so Arclight just uses her shockwaves on them while they pound each other, and fever pitch lets out an inferno
http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/2617/namorfeat286al.gif
If anyone is left standing, Madison turns into a metal T-rex, and easily takes anyone else out

Notes:

Rogue has to touch my team to do any damage, and she can’t because of the force-field, and the fact that Polaris is controlling her body so she can’t
Namor has shrugged off very powerful TP attacks, and even has TP of his own, so, he won’t be affected by the illusions, and my team also already has the bands to prevent any illusions from affecting us
Wolverine won’t be any good; he’s basically just a weapon for me. Polaris could even just pull the metal right out of him and Madison could create a box out of it if need be
Timeslip will be too busy defending herself against her own teammates for her to attack mine
My team is also going to be reacting much faster than yours because of tempo giving us the edge

[Atom_basher]

im debating whether or not that Tempo speeding her team would strain her too much. and since Tre has his team sheilded if it even matters, i need to see debate

[Brian M.]

Nice. I like that element has all these images to back him up. Tre's strategy is really well thought out and I love the use of both Lady M and Rogue. Lady M is very dangerous with her illusions. This one is tough. I'll talk it over w/ my partner and vote later on today.

[Tre Styles]

The psi combo between Rogue and Lady M covers the three that are crucial to Element's strategy, which are Scanner (never attacks Shola, cause her mind is messed with), Polaris (seeing illusions attacks Namor), and Tempo (blocked by the psis and Timeslip who reverses any effects....with her slowing down her team's reactions, Madison would take too long to make any psi bands and then have everyone put them on....this is a battle). My team also is in the air before any of Arclight's quakes....more later.

This is pretty much why we're putting out vote behind Tre.

One of the things that we were thinking of that might hurt Tre's team is Rogue absorbing some of Lady M's powers but it's been shown in Austen's run and I believe Milligan's where Rogue absorbs Polaris's powers and she's still fighting side by side w/ Rogue showing no effects.

Element13 you had a hell of a strategy and using all the picture evidence was very nice.

Yeah, it depends on how long Rogue has contact. She's not absorbing her team members into unconsciousness. Just enough to use their powers together.

[element13]

okay.....

1) your forgetting that TP attacks will be blocked by my bands that prevent any type of telepathatic attack

2) Magnetism scrambles oncoming TP attacks, so illusions won't work, and Lady M will be weakened by rogue absorbing some of her power, and rogue isn't that expierenced with illusions

3) madison is very fast with making machines, he could make bands in about 1 second, and about half a second with my reaction time thanks to Tempo

4) your whole stragety falls back on wether or not the illusions work, which i have provided multiple reasons as to why they wouldn't

5) how do you prevent strong guy, shaw, rogue, and wolverine from being susceptible to polaris controlling them. I could have rogue touch everyone on your team, overloading her

6) arclight can send her shockwaves into the air, disrupting your team

some speed feats for madison

also, madison's sonic blaster will take out lady M, so she can't concentrate to make illusions
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f188/A_Flight5/AlphaFlightv191-03.jpg

or, considering that madison is immune to TP, he can do this to Lady M

6. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e...l02-1987-18.jpg

also, a huge whirlwind will distract Lady M from making illusions
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i48/A_Flight8/AlphaFlight76-19.jpg

more proof why TP won't work, bedlam can't find him either
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l107/A_Flight11/AlphaFlight53-15.jpg

also, Tempo has defeated Rouge and quicksilver at teh same time by herself, so making my team faster is no big deal for her

and magneto, who taught polaris everything he knows, uses the same shield as polaris. magneto's shield can repel tp attacks, and here is a scan proving it. sense my whole team is surrounded by the force-field, your illusions will backfire on you, and you will affect your own team. Also, polaris will even be able to jam rouges and Lady M's illusions because they are essentially a telepathic attack

[Tre Styles]

okay.....

1) your forgetting that TP attacks will be blocked by my bands that prevent any type of telepathatic attack

No, my team attacks you way before Madison can get all the bands made, and apply them to his teamate. You think my team is sitting there while he hands out the tp bands?
2) Magnetism scrambles oncoming TP attacks, so illusions won't work, and Lady M will be weakened by rogue absorbing some of her power, and rogue isn't that expierenced with illusions

Rogue has had telepathy powers before, and while Lady Mastermind is the master at illusions, other telepaths such as M, Xavier, Emma, and others have been able to create illusions as well. Rogue combined with Lady M helping to lead and direct her surely will help her with creating some illusions. Rogue also absorbs memories, but with Lady M guiding her, she doesn't even have to know.
Magnetism scrambles oncoming TP attacks? Wow, I would've never thought that with Polaris being taken over so many times in the past. She's very suspectible to mind attacks.

3) madison is very fast with making machines, he could make bands in about 1 second, and about half a second with my reaction time thanks to Tempo

Tempo who is directly attacked first in my strategy, and slows down the reaction time of Madison and company. Power of the mind vs. slowing down/speeding up time. And you forgot that Timeslip ALSO uses her power to slow and speed up time depending on what Tempo did. You don't cover Timeslip until towards the end.I covered that in the opening of my strategy son.

4) your whole stragety falls back on wether or not the illusions work, which i have provided multiple reasons as to why they wouldn't

No, you really haven't. But it's not on whether the illusions will work, because they would, as explained above and in my strategy.

5) how do you prevent strong guy, shaw, rogue, and wolverine from being susceptible to polaris controlling them. I could have rogue touch everyone on your team, overloading her

1) Polaris' mind is attacked. She is busy attacking Namor. 2) Rogue is not going to be controlled by Polaris. 3) I thought Polaris was also busy shielding people, she's controlling Shaw, Rogue, Wolverine (who'd heal fast), and Strong Guy? Has she ever been shown to "control" people like that with iron in their blood?? Mags has, but has Polaris?

6) arclight can send her shockwaves into the air, disrupting your team

Did she do it in your strategy?, and I already covered that as well. Air shocks are moving energy, you want to give more power to Shaw and Strong Guy?? Feel free. Plus they are blocked by Shola's bubble in the air, high in the air.


Madison's "speed" feats aren't really shown in those examples. It shows that he's fast, and has to move fast, but with Timeslip countereing Tempo's moves, he's not going to be moving that fast at all.

also, madison's sonic blaster will take out lady M, so she can't concentrate to make illusions
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f188/A_Flight5/AlphaFlightv191-03.jpg

Not through Shola's TK shield high in the air, it won't.

or, considering that madison is immune to TP, he can do this to Lady M

6. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e...l02-1987-18.jpg

But we didn't have Madison attacked by TP, so your point is? And how is he "immune"? Those links don't lead me to anything by the way.

also, a huge whirlwind will distract Lady M from making illusions
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i48/A_Flight8/AlphaFlight76-19.jpg

A whirlwind where? In the air? She's in Shola's Shield.

more proof why TP won't work, bedlam can't find him either

Uh...I've covered this.

and magneto, who taught polaris everything he knows, uses the same shield as polaris. magneto's shield can repel tp attacks, and here is a scan proving it. sense my whole team is surrounded by the force-field, your illusions will backfire on you, and you will affect your own team

What scan?? And Magneto's helmet repels TP attacks. Which is why Phoenix removed it, that one time...THe illusions that are doubled with Rogue, won't backfire, and Polaris has been shown to have her mind taken over time and time, and time again. And I seriously doubt that Polaris knows everything that Mags knows. Seriously. But good attempts.

in the scan i provided, magneto is not even wearing a helmet. also, what are you going to do to prevent polaris from reversing the bloodflow in Lady M's brain, causing her to fall unconsious, which can happen in the first second. your stragety wholly depends on illusions which have very slim chances of working

[The Fury]

Way to use comic evidence dude.

[element13]

Way to use comic evidence dude.

thank you very much:)

[The Fury]

thank you very much:)

Don't use them all up in early fights though. ;)

[element13]

Don't use them all up in early fights though. ;)

shoo...if i even get another fight:p

[The Fury]

Good point.

I think both strategies are good an pulling out stops to not be the first person out of the tournement.

element13's use of Madison Jefferies is a good thing, making use of all his abilities well and finding great references to back everything up.

But Tre's strategy seems stronger.

But then he did pit Wolverine, the guy with metal bones, up against a guy who controls metal.

[element13]

But then he did pit Wolverine, the guy with metal bones, up against a guy who controls metal.

well technically i have two people who control metal

[element13]

i have a question, are people reading the entire thread, or just basing their vote on the first strageties? because i have disproved everything and you'll just see that if you took a look through the thread. I mean, rouge and Regan going to touch one anopther will take at least one second, and by that time lorna can reverse their bloodflow to take them out, or can just use wolverine to gut them both.

[Tre Styles]

But Tre's strategy seems stronger.

Thanks Fury, and I did think about that.

From My Strategy:

Strong Guy backs up Logan just in case Jeffries can somehow take control of the adamantium in Logan’s body, and squeezes him until he passes out.

[element13]

and I said polaris controls strong guys body like in the scan provided, considering she already took out rogue and regan so no illusions

[Tre Styles]

You haven't disproved everything, who says Lorna can reverse their bloodflow and control them in at least 1 sec? You base Lorna off of what you say Mags can do (And seeing the scan, Quicksilver says that the power that Mags is using to block Jean is HIS to command, not Lorna's. Lorna has not been shown to do this..) When it has been stated time and time again, that Lorna is not Magento, nor is she as strong as he is. Lorna, to my knowledge, has never used her powers to control someone else, let alone hold up a shield and deflect a mental attack at the same time. Lorna has been suspect to mind control many, many times, yet you refuse to acknowledge that. Everyone knows that. It isn't just people reading the first strategy. That's almost an insult to me in a way.

You haven't dealt with Timeslip vs. Tempo....again reversing any effect that your team has, as well as Scanner being affected. You have to sharpen your game if you are gonna post scans, which are good, but really don't prove a whole lot. For example, in your Madison scans, you show him doing a lot of transforming, but he still has to think about what he's doing, and he stills takes a little time. It's not instant in a sec. Look at the ghost figures when he transforms into the boat thing...that's at least 2-5 secs.

I think that if you read my strategy completely, and without bias, you'll see that I've effectively met your moves.:cool:

1) Remember her wedding, she took out tons of people before they could react

2) I only used one scan with magneto in it, i never said that everything they did was the same

3) she has never been taken with a shield up, and magnetism scrambles oncoming tp attacks

4) i didn't mean it as an insult, even if it came off that way. i'm truly sorry if you took offence. i'm just a little frustrated because this morning, i was diagniosed with testicular cancer, and was told that i will never be able to have children of my own. i am scared to tell my family, and just looking for something to pre-occupy me, and that's the only reason i'm still doing this

5) Timeslip and Tempo basically have the same powers, everything one does, the other can basically undo, except for the fact that tempo has more expierence. so basically their viod in this

[Tre Styles]

1) Remember her wedding, she took out tons of people before they could react


I do, and that was only when she ambushed them with a sneak attack.

2) I only used one scan with magneto in it, i never said that everything they did was the same

You sorta did.

3) she has never been taken with a shield up, and magnetism scrambles oncoming tp attacks

Magneto's magnetism has scrambled TP attacks. Polaris operates of the opposite pole of Mags. But Polaris has never been shown to be able to do that.

4) i didn't mean it as an insult, even if it came off that way. i'm truly sorry if you took offence. i'm just a little frustrated because this morning, i was diagniosed with testicular cancer, and was told that i will never be able to have children of my own. i am scared to tell my family, and just looking for something to pre-occupy me, and that's the only reason i'm still doing this

:( Okay, time out. I'm truly sorry to hear that man, that sucks big time, and I hope the best works out for you. I know it's going to be hard to tell your fam, but your fam is your fam,they should love you no matter what, so don't be afraid and they'll help you to be strong and work through this tough period in your life. All the best with that, stay strong in that bro. oh and I didn't really take any real offense,because I understand the frustration of thinking your strategy is being overlooked (but I don't think that's the case at all)anyways all is forgiven, but overall, your strat is pretty sound, just needs some polishing.

5) Timeslip and Tempo basically have the same powers, everything one does, the other can basically undo, except for the fact that tempo has more expierence. so basically their viod in this

Which is my point all along. Cool game Element.

[element13]

1) I do, and that was only when she ambushed them with a sneak attack

and no one will be expecting to have their blood flow reversed

2) You sorta did.

sory, didn't mean to

3) Okay, time out. I'm truly sorry to hear that man, that sucks big time, and I hope the best works out for you. I know it's going to be hard to tell your fam, but your fam is your fam,they should love you no matter what, so don't be afraid and they'll help you to be strong and work through this tough period in your life.

yeah, but it's still hard. me and my family have always been close, but it will just be different when i tell them

[The Lucky One]

4) i didn't mean it as an insult, even if it came off that way. i'm truly sorry if you took offence. i'm just a little frustrated because this morning, i was diagniosed with testicular cancer, and was told that i will never be able to have children of my own. i am scared to tell my family, and just looking for something to pre-occupy me, and that's the only reason i'm still doing this

I am truly very sorry to hear that. You have my prayers, and good luck in telling your family. We all wish you the best.

Now, as for the match itself... I have to say, Tre's Lady M gambit seems pretty effective. Nobody on element13's team has telepathy themselves to see through it, and Arclight's psi-shields aren't going to shut out illusions. Thus, Tempo becomes more a liability for her own team than a plus, and I think the rest would fall soon afterward. Element's ideas were definitely sound, I liked the photo evidence and the bands were very creative; it simply comes down to timing, and whether element's team would have enough of it to enact their plans before Tre's team took them out. I don't think they would, so I have to cast my vote for Tre.

-D

[Jessica Drew]

Sorry to hear about your situation, element13. My thoughts are with you.

However, my vote is not. I think Lady M & Rogue cast their illusions before Jeffries gets his teams psi-shields on, and I think that having Polaris attacking another member of your team provides Tre's team with enough time to severly disable yours before Jeffries can get his psi-bands working.

[Gene M.]

Tre got my vote on this one.

[Mineralogy]

I don't understand why anyone would start blasting their teammates because they looked like a Sentinel. This is a barren battlefield with exactly two opposing teams, who can see each other before the fight starts, and thus are well aware there is a known illusionist present. If Polaris saw a Sentinel, she would probably say "Oh Lady M, you whimsical scamp!" and then fly off to do something productive.

That said, I think the point is that Lady M mindfinkles the opposing team into having one of those "I'm fr-fr-freaking ouuuuuuuut!" moments right in the middle of a pitched battle, which is deadly. From that angle, the exact details of the illusions are somewhat ancillary, and so it falls on element13 to adequately defend against them. He doesn't.

So, even though this makes me feel like a mean old ogre, I have to go with Lady M winning the match for Tre Styles. But I do offer my condolences for your situation, element13; I hope you can make as healthy a recovery as possible in the long term.

[Spirit of vengeance]

Good match! It's difficult for me to decide because the ins and outs of every character and there powers to know who is right and wrong. I'm voting for element13 but it is a messy match to vote on. I hope you make a quick recovery element13 and that you tell your family soon you will only worry over their reaction until you tell them and the worry won't help you relax and recover.

Dan

[Zombienorthstar]

Sorry to hear of your misfortune element13, just focus on the positives and you'll get through this.

[Mariah]

Wow. I'm sorry, Element. I can relate to you. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer last year, and the doctor said I'd probably never be able to bear children either.:( My prayers are with you and your family.

Congratulations, Tre Styles! You'll continue in the lower bracket facing the loser of tomorrow's AM Game 11 (TShark82 vs. melodyrider) next Monday.

element13, it's been great having you as part of the League and we hope to see you back next year!
