Kanz

er...I mean The Host

From: Ed Bellis | #103
But he's been shown as being able to influence stuff outside his universe before. He creates a separate universe for a character to live in and makes somebody the god of it; he talks to the audience directly and seems to be able to respond to their desires (to the point where it's an integral part of his character); and he was even shown to have influenced events in other universes (like giving Alina James her luckhax). He can also summon characters from other universes, like Alina James's. This is an inherent part of his powerset.

From: Ed Bellis | #105
So how do you account for somebody like, say, GANON, whose powerset is literally composed of "whatever people want it to be" and "learning spells," both of which are relevant here? How can GANON learn spells - despite them being an inherent part of his powerset - if interaction between matches is forbidden, even when the character is capable of it?

Basically, I'm trying to say that the Host has demonstrated powers that strongly indicate that he can perform well outside the confines of this bracket. It would be like Yukari Yakumo - she can gap between fictional universes, so she can probably gap between matches. Likewise with the Host.

She was in Anagram's first contest, where she made it to the Final 8 iirc before losing to Cthulhu (???). She was also in the League, where the only notable fact of that is that she was able to tie Darsh.

Oh, and I need to reiterate my first question in this topic: what happens if/when the Audience doesn't want either character to win? How would the Host go about making it more entertaining? What would he do?

From: Ed Bellis | #113
Not to my knowledge, but I just think it never came up - people argued that both of them would keep gapping to other universes, but never the matches iirc. Still, Yukari's not omnipotent like the Host is and hasn't demonstrated the capacity to create an entire existing universe (though she has been shown to pull people into hers I think).

Cancel the match and hold an American Gladiators style competition between a hippo, a polar bear and a lion?

lol wtf with this match lol

From: Ed Bellis | #125
Alright so, taking all this into consideration, here's my argument for how this match goes down.

The Host is aware of what the Audience wants. The Audience wants entertainment, and this random anime dude isn't providing it – like Wang said, he's a repeat performer, and like Kanz said, the Host does everything Neuro can do but better.

It's already been established that the Host can warp reality within his universe and summon individuals from other universes; furthermore, it's been established that the Host can manipulate other universes directly. It's also been shown that the Host is basically a giant troll and loves to get a rise out of people.

So, taking all these things into account, I am putting in a write-in vote. This is a completely valid strategy and argument given the above points: the Host is capable of bringing in another dude, it's in his personality to do so if the dude in question will provide entertainment, and it's to his benefit if the Audience will request it. Therefore, if enough people vote for the write-in, it's sure to advance.

I will naturally be voting for The Doctor, inside the TARDIS, because that's the character the Host – who's omniscient, after all – knows can potentially provide the most entertainment.

Lancer puts up decent fights and draws considerable debate. Not quite what we're looking for here!

Ipkiss is probably second place, but after the initial Broly match people realized he had nothing and abandoned him. Didn't win a single match in the League. The Doctor at least has people who will still come in and fuss about him!

Sarda

He's decided to experiment on winning his match before he begins it

"CurtainsHost: Overruled! That llama-loving boy knows less about *properly* using unlimited power to make things interesting than he does about kindness and mercy. Chaos, be a dear and take him out of the picture, will you?"

From: Panthera | #147
Overruled, Chaos cannot actually exist therefore an omniscient being, which knows everything that is or can be, cannot know of him.
