A low cost nuke that procs on hit effects and crits?

A global ultimate that can kill you where he's nowhere near?

A steroid that makes him impossible to run from or catch?

WHICH PART OF HIS KIT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO COMPLAIN ABOUT?

I'm f***ing tired of being talked down to by FotM ass hats. I give what I get 100% of the time, and from these people all I get is s*** talk.

`The global 125 AD he hands out. The free Reverie he gives his team. The fact that he gets about 4k from his passive and it synergizes beautifully for him. The way he gets half a creep, every creep is he's good at parrrleyhitting. The ultimate is unreliable, the steroid boils down to simply rooting him or using a heavy slow, and parrley is that strong because it's the sole offensive move he gets as opposed to the three of Xin, Jarvan, Irelia, et al. You don't know why he's beating you and thus are getting angry at Plank for the wrong reasons. If you hate his players, there's champions who rip him to absolute shreds, and he's permabanned in ranked because people are too dumb to adapt and ban Orianna and such. Just adapt to it.

A) Tell me more about this 'anchor' thing.

"While you can try to return to life by your own means, it is easier (much, much easier) to borrow someone else's strength to fuel your manifestation in the material world. You can try to ask someone from the Worlds Beyond who's strong and experienced enough to open a way back into the material world and feed you power: fey creatures, holy ghosts, devils..." Umbraria's eyes flash scarlet as she mentions devils, though her voice remains cheery, if professional. "...Or you can try to bind yourself to someone still linked to the material world. In other words, you can return as a ghost capable of possessing someone who's consented to it, or even return in full if someone parts with some of their life force permanently for you. We call these arrangements anchors because the deshelled person has someone who can hold them steady, allowing them to explore the material world without having to tread as lightly and carefully as a being running on their own soul only."

39) "Are you thinking about going back that way, sweet? It isn't as easy as it sounds, finding a proper anchor who won't want you to pay a heavy price for it."
A) "Yes."
B) "Maybe. I've got some more questions." [Please Specify]

Note that this isn't to say that Plank isn't really strong, because he is. He's just not borderline broken like Garen or Orianna. He's in the Corki Spot, AKA that point where you're an excellent choice but not one that merits bans unless you're facing someone who's focused on mastering the one dude to hell and back.

A) "How can we get back to life?"

Umbraria nods, knowingly. She gazes past you for a second, then centers her attention back on you.

"Believe it or not, dear, this is a very common question. Those deshelled never fail to inquire with the management, looking for a way back. Unfortunately, it isn't quite as simple as asking for it.

You see, when you passed on, your connection between body and soul was severed. Your body stayed behind, and your soul moved on to a different plane. The two young people who now stand before me aren't present in the flesh, but rather in spirit. Literally.

Don't look so surprised! Your body affected your perception of your soul. Having only recently cut the chain that bound the two together, it's natural for you to mimic your body's appearance to a T. If you put your mind to it, you could adopt the strangest, or most fantastic shapes. Envision yourself as being ten foot tall hard enough and you will indeed become that tall. If, in your mind's eye, you saw yourself as a rat, you would eventually become a tiny, squeaky rodent.

Of course...this presents a problem, especially for someone as special as you. A soul without a body is very vulnerable: every bit of exertion and effort is a test of will, and though a soul is capable of restoring itself much more quickly and deeply than a body, it also suffers grievous wounds much more easily. You could return to life as a disembodied soul, but you'd have to pick your battles very carefully. A strong enough gust of wind could tear you apart...permanently. Once a soul is damaged enough, it is impossible for it to return.

Oh, by the way, are you sure you don't want to eat anything? It's delicious, honest! No? Aww...

...Anyway, where was I? Oh, yes. You have a few options at your disposal at the moment. You can accept you've jumped off the mortal coil, and explore the Worlds Beyond. You can return to the world as a being of pure soul, along with your darling girlfriend..." Nina blushes, and quickly butts in to correct Umbraria. "We've just met! He's not my boyfriend or anything like that!"

"Oh, sorry...souls never travel together unless they're bound by a powerful emotional link. I just saw you two together, and assumed...well, let's just move on. Beyond the two options we just discussed, you could also find yourself an...anchor. A stabilized soul has all of the perks of having been deshelled, and few of its disadvantages...and instead, it has new ones. And of course, you could adopt other, more long-term solutions. You could choose to reincarnate, or donate your energy to the cosmic stockpile, or even other things. There's many paths open to you."

38) "Which one will you follow, honey?"
A) Free Choice.

I feel like you're probably spending more money than usual on the skin

It was 8.99 before tax.

Right now, Orianna is Lux 5.0. She literally completely obsoletes another champion just by existing, because she's wildly overpowered. Long range, good damage, utility, short cooldowns, cheap costs. Pick three. Orianna takes four and a half, which is just dumb. They're not taking her long range, not taking her utility, and her cooldowns will still be short. Soooo, the damage has to go. You can't have your cake and eat it too ana.

And no, this is global. Kog is the hardest carry you can have, followed by Vayne. Cait has the best utility because QSS can counter Ashe, Corki is a good carry as is MF, and Twitch and Ezreal are OK but not great. And I forgot about Trist there, add her between Cait and Corki/Ashe. She's the hardest AD carry besides Vayne and has the longest range, which counts for a lot.

They mentioned quite a few more changes than more mana regen. And I feel uncomfortable with Ashe in the middle of the pack, what with her having possibly the best ult in the game, period.

Yawgmoth was nominated for one contest, I forget which. Think he had enough to get in, even. But whoever was running it went "ahahahaha nooooooooooooo that is not going to happen".

At this point I want Yawgmoth to get in just so I can be like, "You all thought Urza was bad? Here is a character who could fight a hundred Urzas and never be in danger." >_>

I'd only bet on three characters beating Yawgmoth. All three are author avatars to a degree, and two are plot devices.

As I recall what happened was that Phyrexia's final layer inhibited Urza's powers, not that Yawgmoth took them from him directly. Then Urza got beheaded and when taken out of Phyrexia didn't grow himself a new body because ???? (grief presumably, but yeah).

Urza snorted. "You are a mere man. You cannot hope to defeat me. I am a planeswalker."
Before Gerrard could respond, the crowd spoke the words of Yawgmoth. "Not here, Urza. You are not a planeswalker here. We have stripped you of every weapon, every spell, every immunity. Here, you and Gerrard are both mortal. . . ."

So... I'll admit that it's more open to interp than I thought, but considering he never uses planeswalker powers again, I think it's reasonable that he lost them permanently. He definitely lost his magic, too, though. And Yawgmoth later banned the use of artifacts and traps.

And both Urza and Gerrard gained some degree of reality warping just from being in Yawgmoth's mental battlefield, but it wasn't Urza's original powers.

Also, forgot to comment on this, but I realized it just now: It's a pity nobody's ever tried to nominate Yawgmoth. Might as well be "nominate the contest host, with the ability to manipulate the bracket", almost literally. Look at him placing down match conditions! :P

Kenri: I agree it's a very silly restriction and I don't like having to use it. The alternative of people arguing Urza using Timetwister (I recall this was discussed in the topics even) is so much sillier I don't even want to think of it. It happened once and that was enough. This is tolerable in the case of game characters because what is argued is both their sole medium and generally has some plot backing. Urza has stuff that is pure plot to draw from, however, and the rampant confusion there was about his powers made it so he was only defeated because people antivoted him since they believed he could use cards to do basically any effect you could think of. Think of it this way: nobody argues game stats as proof of anything anymore because it gets you laughed at. Because he comes from a different medium, Urza doesn't run by those rules, or did not in his last outing. The host note is just a way to make people understand that voting based on the games of Magic they played isn't valid.


Metalex: Good stuff. I have a basic writeup for Red, but that version is way better and will be what I use for him, sans a few minor edits.

Being beaten by a normal dude isn't exactly saying much, if he was essentially a normal dude himself at the time

I could be wrong here, but what he lost was his regeneration, his planeshaping powers, and the like. He was still a powerful wizard (one of the cards we're discussing even shows him trying to rob the normal dude of his lifeforce with a touch of death), not like he suddenly got depowered into being an old man with no skills.

Refusing precisely due to the reasons you stated. People didn't learn to distinguish italics text from plain text and thus Urza won matches he shouldn't have based on GameFAQS Urza factor. Not dealing with that, unlike I would for, say, Jaya Ballard who at least has a tightly knit set of spells that isn't Urzatron.

There are stupid people (and smart people saying stupid things) in every match though. You're basically ignoring a whole field of evidence for a character that's already vague because some people can't tell the difference between obvious game mechanics and flavor text. Might as well ban any character from a video game because some people will inevitably argue game mechanics.

I don't even recall anyone seriously trying to argue for Game!Urza, though I do recall some people bringing it up to make a point. Where that point was, "this isn't even peak urza. you don't want to see peak urza. nobody wants to see peak urza." And I guess some people did it to try to make Urza seem weaker, via a whole "dies to 20 hits from a ****ing squirrel!" type argument. But whatever, it was never a big problem, in any case.


Gerrard Capashen, the soldier he genetically engineered, decapitated him while depowered and Urza never reformed to full even though he could have, instead donating his powerstones to Karn the silver golem. Basically he can regen except it has caveats.

Yeah, most characters with regeneration tend to have the caveat that they can only regenerate while they still have the ability to regenerate. >_> Yawgmoth removed Urza's planeswalker powers. He never got them back. And even if he had, he knew at that point that the Legacy Weapon was the only thing with a chance against Yawgmoth; that situation is not likely to come up within the confines of MPFC.

As I recall what happened was that Phyrexia's final layer inhibited Urza's powers, not that Yawgmoth took them from him directly. Then Urza got beheaded and when taken out of Phyrexia didn't grow himself a new body because ???? (grief presumably, but yeah).

As for the card thing, here's my counterpoint: find me a card that does something Urza doesn't in the novels. One. By this I mean feats, spells, techniques, equipment, etc. that isn't overshadowed by the stuff he DOES. I'll wait. It's not worth the headache of people trying to use the wrong cards when he already does more than they show.

Time Trapper Prime is a version of Superman Prime who after tanking a universe destroying blast while being epicenter got sent into the time stream and eventually became the Time Trapper. As Time Trapper he's shown to have extremely high level over time, including travel, changing it, making pocket dimensions, access to every multiverse, freezing it, and messing around with it in general. Along the way of becoming Time Trapper he also he defeated Superman, Superboy, a souped up Kid Flash post-Speed Force improvements, and the combined forces of at least 3 different universe's Legions of Super Heroes at the same time. Said forces include multiple versions of Superman-like beings, Ion, and high level mages. He's just as tanky as he always has been - whether it's laughing off high level magic from beings with molecular control, Anti-Matter, or reality warping. Enough force is capable of knocking him out - though it took literally every multiverse' team of superheroes to attack him at the same time in order to knock him out for under a minute.

So basically, I have to make a couple tiny adjustments. Just putting out a new link so everybody can check out a couple swaps exercised between the Friendship and Trapped divisions. The latter ends up much softer but it's not like it wasn't going to be a very likely stomp for Anti Spiral, plus we get some interesting lowcard matches. The former...well, take a look here:

Urza Planeswalker
Urza, from Magic: the Gathering, is a Planeswalker, an extraordinarily powerful immortal being granted near-godly powers by the ignition of a spark within his soul. Urza is four thousand years old, and tremendously cunning and powerful. He is a master artificer, capable of creating the Titans, colossal battlemechs capable of decimating hundreds of enemies with a single wave of their hands and equipped with a spectacular array of missiles and weapons. He also once devised a bomb capable of reducing a plane to nothingness. He has shown the ability to regenerate from lethal attacks, though sufficient force may be enough to incapacitate him, or destroy him if his supply of magic is completely drained. Additionally, Urza is a nearly unequalled sorcerer, with powerful spells and artifacts at his command, as well as a skilled warrior for his age. He has a strange weakness, however: should the stones in his eyes, the Mightstone and the Weakstone (used to empower or weaken artifacts), ever become damaged, the resultant energy discharge will be powerful enough to kill him outright.

Technically I don't think that last part is true. I know that one person argued in a prior MPFC that Urza has had his entire body destroyed countless times, to no ill effect because he can regenerate. Don't think I've read that novel though so I can't weigh in. Removing them works better, but I don't think it's an instant win either, by any means.


Host's Note: No using cards to powerscale Urza or infer his abilities. Work off of his novels or refrain from pitching in. Anyone caught trying to argue MtG cards in Urza's favor will be permanently banned from MPFC2k11.

Really think lore from the cards should be fair game too, because card lore and the novels cross-reference each other all the time. It's just game mechanics that should be avoided.

Also, would like to give my obligatory please don't allow Urza in pre-contest warning/plea.

Refusing precisely due to the reasons you stated. People didn't learn to distinguish italics text from plain text and thus Urza won matches he shouldn't have based on GameFAQS Urza factor. Not dealing with that, unlike I would for, say, Jaya Ballard who at least has a tightly knit set of spells that isn't Urzatron.

Also, the argument on regen is more or less poppycock and part of why I specifically pointed out that he can be restrained or neutralized without having to kill him a ton of itmes: Gerrard Capashen, the soldier he genetically engineered, decapitated him while depowered and Urza never reformed to full even though he could have, instead donating his powerstones to Karn the silver golem. Basically he can regen except it has caveats.

As a note TRE, I DO have access to previous writeups, except for the ones I mentioned. What I'm asking for is more people telling me what the most up-to-date versions of a character can do. For instance, Negi became stronger since his last match. So did Luffy. So if people who have read the latest pages of One Piece of Negima could clear up if they unearthed any new techniques, powers, etc., that'd be cool.

And I forgot about Trist there, add her between Cait and Corki/Ashe. She's the hardest AD carry besides Vayne and has the longest range, which counts for a lot.

Add Hakumen to that list too. And reposting Neuro because it was a really easy writeup to fix.


Neuro Nougami
From Devil Detective Neuro, Neuro is a demon from hell. He weakens when fighting on earth, but his weakness is progressive rather than sudden. He is extremely resistant(able to tank up to an atomic bomb at full power) and has incredible speed, being able to catch a bullet with his eyelids. He also has access to the 777 Tools of Hell, which are tools he uses according to the situation.

http://nogamineuro.wikia.com/wiki/777_Tools_of_the_Demon_World

Neuro is also a super detective, able to tell an opponent's ability with merely a glance, once finding out a mutant by noticing the vibration in his molecules. By discovering a "mystery" or a secret that his opponent is hiding, he is able to eat the opponent's "soul" effectively destroying him in one hit.

Any characters left still needing write ups?

Tons. These characters need writeups from scratch, a tune-up, or an update:

-It
-Alex Mercer
-Yusuke Urameshi (if anyone can chime in to do a writeup for him that'd be great. Try to avoid powerscaling though - I know his manga and anime are really vague on details, but his writeup only covers ranged attacks and that's no good)
-The Masked Man
-Kizaru (I know we have a writeup of him, but Ed didn't include it in the email he sent me and so we probably will have to build one from scratch)
-All Negima characters.
-Ocelot (I can do it because I read the webcomic, but if DC wants to step up that'd be awesome because I have a limited amount of time to binge through the archives and gather feats and the original writeup is nice but kinda small)
-Zero (using only his peak form, whether that's MMZ or MMX)
-GANON
-Vriska
-Sonic
-Majin Buu
-Bryan Mills
-Darsh
-Ryu Hayabusa
-McNeely
-Rahl
-Time Trapper Prime
-Custer (not sure, the writeup we have is kinda old and might be missing something so if anyone could doublecheck it that'd be pro)
-Code Geass Lelouch (Nunally Lelouch is mostly covered)
-Yuki Nagato (like Kizaru, we're missing her whole writeup, which is a major blow)
-Gurren Lagann (Got a writeup for Super TTGL that I'm assuming is the form we're using; If we're not lemme know)
-Luffy (needs an update and a clear explanation of Haki ("****ing Haki, how does it work"))
-Chad.

Not at all debatable. Twitch stomps the **** out of Sivir.

Better ratings:

Kog > Vayne > Cait > Corki = Ashe > MF > Ezreal > Twitch >>> Sivir

is it an inherent power of ganon that he takes spells from his opponents if he beats them.

Yes, assuming they have some. Can't take something like reality warping or attack techniques though. The user with the same name gets to pick, in an aversion of the usual rules.

"GANON's most powerful spell, however, is the Elemental Sun of Nothing. This spell's power has been described as everything between a powerful archaic spell able to rend any planet near it to a literal sun of nothing - that is, a spell that has no effect! Like all of GANON's other spells, its effects vary wildly depending on his matchup, to the point voter discretion and consideration is advised when considering their usefulness."

Fix'd

Like that writeup though, it's very usable with some tweaking.

Ice Queen
From Adventure Time, the Ice Queen is a universe shifted alternate version of the Ice King. She shares his abilities to control ice, and posseses several skills of her own. She is far more evil and ruthless than the Ice King, and uses far more aggressive tactics. She can fly using her lightning shaped eyebrows and has access to other magical items. Her main artifact is her tiara, which she forged using stolen magic. This gives her complete and utter control over all cold related phenomena as well as giving her a high degree of mental resistance. Her ice abilities can be used to perform a variety of attacks including summoning snow / ice constructs, shooting icy lightning from her hands, flash freezing her opponents, summoning large ice mountain spikes, creating snow storms, summoning ice spikes from the ground creating ice dome shields, and more. She has also shown that she enter a "Slush Beast" mode and shapeshift. She can also manipulate any ice in the area telekinetically. Lastly, she has access to the ninja art of Fridjitzu. She is ready to win, and will not overlook any measures to come out on top in a fight.


This took way longer than I expect, but on the plus side, one fourth done!

So as it turns out, Laharl is no lock. We're looking at a big upset on Round 1 for the Netherworld division, folks.


Kurou Daijuuji
From Roar of the Machine God Demonbane, Kurou Daijuuji is a detective who forms a pact with the living Necronomicon, Al-Azif, and earns the right to power the God Machine, Demonbane. While a low-superhuman on foot when imbued with the power of the Demonbane, Kurou is a much greater threat while piloting the God Machine. It possesses a vast array of attacks, including binding spells, illusions, and the Shining Trapezohedron, a blade that can seal or erase anything from existence. Some of its most powerful attacks include the Lemuria Impact, which applies an infinite amount of pressure and heat on a specific point in space, and the Athleta Aeternum, which summons every Demonbane to exist and those that won't to attack.

Megas XLR
From the series of the same name, Megas XLR is a building-sized mech piloted by Coop, a slacker with amazing videogame talents. Megas is equipped with a wide arsenal of weapons, from lasers to missiles, can fly, and possesses tremendous strength. Its greatest asset, however, is its Big Red Button, which always provides a useful attack for the situation at hand. The button seems to be context sensitive, as it even reacts to previous uses of itself (changing its tag from "Fire Missiles" to "Fire More Missiles", and finally "Fire All Da Missiles"), making it very handy in a fight.

Minato Namikaze
From Naruto, Minato Namikaze is the Fourth Hokage, a master ninja who defeated the mighty demon Kyuubi by sealing it within the body of a child. Minato's greatest asset is his speed, thanks to his Body Flicker Jutsu, which has gained him the nickname of "The Yellow Flash of Konoha" due to how it allows him to teleport to any location as long as he knows exactly where he is going. Other techniques at his disposal include a barrage of special kunais, to which he can teleport , the Rasengan, an energy attack which he invented, and the ability to summon giant frogs to his aid.

Jack Noir
Jack Noir is the primary villain of Homestuck, ex-Archagent of the Dark Moon Derse. Cunning, vicious and hateful, Noir took advantage of a time traveling package to slay his master, the Black Queen, and take her ring before also claiming the scepter of his other superior, the Black King. Combined, these two artifacts granted him powers derived from the Kernelsprites prototyped by the heroes of the story, giving him flight, combat tentacles a harlequin hat and a missing arm. In this state, Noir was shown as being capable of massacring armies whole by his lonesome, as well as dueling two very experienced swordsman, one of them capable of incredibly fast flash-steps and slicing building-sized meteors in half. Later on, Noir received his final prototyping, gaining the powers of a First Guardian (a nigh-omnipotent, though not omniscient entity with mastery over space), drastically increasing his power to a universal threat, who casually destroyed multiple planets and defeated the world-shatteringly powerful God Tier players with ease (with one exception), and possessing enough raw power to destroy a universe whole while outside of it. While in this form, Jack Noir can teleport to any place he wishes instantly, phase his body to become immune to attack, or turn it into a portal to a different part of the universe, allowing him to attack his enemies with their own maneuvers. He wields a sword with frightening skill to dispose of his foes.

eh, it shouldn't really matter if we can't find the rest of Ganon's spells, Sun of Nothing and Conjure Barbs and Dexterity Deflection are really all he needs.

Also, I think I was the first person to nom Red, so I can do a writeup for him if need be.

Please do. More is better.

Also, I personally don't like the idea of leaving any canonical details of a character's power levels open. It just leads to stupidity.

Are you referring to Ponyta Twilight mode?

Not having seen MLP yet, I'm going by clips, wiki, and forum discussions. So...maybe?
