Who cares how many it specifically took to hurt him? Point is, he was in fact hurt during a standard brawl here. Which is more than you can say for Sarda, who is invincible to everything except Act of Plot
That's the difference between a character being 'Strong' and a character being 'Stupid'. You allow the first. You ban the second
To add to this, yes Superman Prime would cruise to the finals. That alone is not reason to ban him. His power is overwhelming, but still "fair" in its basic nature. That should be the cutoff point. Also, you seemed to forget about tried and true rules, "must have a clearly defined powerset" and "must be defeatable by reproducible means". If you just stuck to those rules, they alone should take care of Sarda and the other problem characters.
Yes, this means you have to make some subjective rulings, but you are not going to avoid that no matter what.
But the powersets of (most of) the warpers are clearly defined. "Total control over matter" is a very clear thing. OP, but clear. "Insantly know all there is to know about your foe" (Nagato here, not The Host) is also very clearly defined, too. Just because a powerset is broad doesn't mean it isn't clearly defined.
(and Prime wasn't defeatable by reproducible means is my point. 'Fight him with a depowering sun nearby' isn't reproducible either, is it?)
