Welcome, one and all, to the (actual) next tournament I have started!
I got commissioned to make this. As always, unlike my last tournament, I will not abandon this one, hopefully.
The Tiersetter
Instead of giving stat ranges, arbitrarily listing hax that isn't allowed, or trying to eyeball which profiles to disqualify, matches are usually made fair by listing a character which each submission has to have a chance of losing to. If a character is initially argued as risking a loss to the tiersetter, but is later reasoned to be stronger in a way that'd have them consistently beat the tiersetter, they will be disqualified from the tournament.
This time, said character has to lose to the tiersetter by at least 51% across multiple matches run.

How does he fight?
Khadgar is by definition a mage with poor physicals. Despite this, he isn't a slouch at melee combat by mortal terms, but he's mostly better with magic. He mainly focuses on barriers and trying not to get hit by any attacks, while dishing out any magic appropriate for the fight. While he certainly favours his often used abilities, he is also subject to using any magic in his PnA should the situation call for it.
Criteria
Your selected character will be matched against Khadgar. The criteria where your selected character will be accepted, among others not concerning the tiersetter is:
- Your character must lose to Khadgar at least 51% of the time (from running multiple matches against him) under Standard Battle Assumptions (SBA)
- The chance of losing must be legitimate; this would include valid wincons outlined (death, incapacitation), and should not be reliant on obscure interpretations or random mechanics (e.g., coin flips, wildly variable probability effects)
- Your character must be permitted by le Versus Thread Rules.
- Don't just vandalise the page of your intended character just so it can fit this tournament. I will personally make sure to verify whether the changed made to said profiles are genuine or not. Any profiles and users found breaking this rule will be reported swiftly and without EXCEPTION
- Priority will be given to characters from differing users and verses to promote variety in participants
- Tier 5-B characters are encouraged, but characters from any other tier can be submitted, since combatants are selected based on whether they can lose to the tiersetter or not
- Maximum one submission per user. Backups are not subject to this rule, but selection is.
- Only 16 characters that fit the criteria are chosen. Any further submissions will be backup instead (unless requested to be placed in backup while 16 slots aren't filled yet).
No FC/OC characters, no joke characters, no characters you thought of in your brain that isn't in the VSBW Wiki, no exceptions. There's a reason this tourney isn't posted in FC/OC or Joke Battle threads. I WILL PURPOSEFULLY IGNORE ANY SUBMISSIONS THAT HAVE THEIR PROFILES LINKED TO ANY NON-VSBW WIKIS.
Match Information
Note: The information disclosed also applies to the initial tiersetter match against Khadgar.
Arena
- Via SBA, Central Park.
- Starting Distance will be based on SBA.
- Speed is equalized by default, but may remain unequalized if one character can mitigate the speed gap (e.g., through passives, resistances, durability advantages, etc.).
- Matches will use SBA unless specified otherwise.
- Rules are subject to changes on a per-match basis to make them fairer or more interesting
- Wincon is via incapacitation or death
- Combatants are allowed to magically view the other previous matches in-universe, except for the initial tiersetter match (hence, this only becomes effective from the quarter-finals onwards)
- Now that the preliminary matches are over, this is now effective. Khadgar's matches are still unviewable.
- 3 days (now 2 days) are given to both participating users to debate. Regardless of circumstances, I will decree the outcome of the match after the 3 days (2 days) for the sake of the tourney's pacing. While they may/may not be added to the profiles, further votes can be given so that these matches are eligible to be added to the respective character's profiles
- An exception can be made should the participating user notify everyone in this thread that they'd be inactive for a bit or some other situation. A further 1 day will be given for such exception
- If you no longer have any reason or motivation to continue participating in this tournament, notify in the thread to have your combatant removed (and depending on the tourney time, a replacement can be issued)
- Inconclusive matches are also subject to the above rule, but I will issue a coin flip to decide who advances (unless the votes have a 3-4 vote difference, at which it is completely subject to the first rule instead)
