2nd Bane of Buildings Tournament (16/16)

[ExSENNA]

Hi to all!

It's been a month since the end of my previous event Tournament, so I decided to announce and start the next one today. Behold, the second iteration of the Bane of Buildings Tournament is here!

Challenger Rules

• Tiers:
  • The allowed Tiers for this Tournament are 9-A, 8-C, and High 8-C. Anything above High 8-C is restricted. Characters who are only at these Tiers with certain abilities (For example, a 9-B character with 8-C attack) can also qualify.
• Entries:
  • Each Entrant can submit 2 Challengers. I can allow a 3rd entry if I feel like it. I discourage the challenger from VSB, but Alt Battles is fine
• Hax:
  • I'll judge hax on a case-by-case basis, but I want to keep it Low to Mid-level hax generally. As you can also tell, weaker challengers will need more Dura-neg options to win against stronger opponents due to the apparent AP difference, so they can get away with having more hax.
    • Balance: This technique gives me the power to ban entry for any challenger who I deem to be breaking the balance of the Tournament, even if they don't break the rules. The purpose of this is that, instead of 1 or 2 challengers being so far above everyone else as we've seen in one of my previous Tournaments, I aim to make sure each challenger has chances against others, so this can be an exciting Tournament. Getting out-everything-ed to hell and back, but still technically having win cons, is not balanced
    • Negation: An extension Balance, this allows me to ban certain abilities of characters who would otherwise qualify to make them qualify. Their matches can't be added to the profiles, but for the tournament, it makes no difference.
• Info:
  • All challengers need to specify keys, equipment, and AP value. I will ignore it if not posted and is not easy to find on the profile.
• Reserve:
  • Only one spot at a time can be reserved, but if no challenger is submitted within 2 days, another person takes that spot.
• Speed Thing:
  • Since speed is equalized, if a challenger who is slower normally wins their matches with the significant reason they won is a speed amp, the said speed amp will be restricted/ignored. This is in line with VS Thread Rules

Match Rules

• All matches will be speed equalized
• 10 meters starting distance
• Everything else is SBA

Rudy Volkov's Immortality, Regeneration, and Fate Manipulation

[Diamond_Drone]

Oh nice! I think Flandre or Remilia could work for this, both of whom scale to 1.97795 Tons of TNT.

 

[Eden_Warlock99]

Game Master, 0.58 Tons of TNT

 

[FlipLaScript]

I dont have faith in Bryan nor Florida Man enough for them to win any matches, The Player's definitely barred if last time says anything about them and I'd rather not argue with Minbitt nor the Short/Tall classes. Sadly I lack any fairly haxxed 9-A to High 8-C characters that are allowed, so I'll have to sit out this time, but I should be able to join in the next one

 

[Axorandom0]

Decyde should be good. Not as in he’ll place good, just that he should be able to get in the tournament with his minimal hax and relatively low stats (around baseline 8-C when using his high end).

 

[Username_uhhhIdontknow]

I don’t have OCs on those tiers, at least with calcs, anyways I submit this girl

 

[Axorandom0]

Decyde should be good. Not as in he’ll place good, just that he should be able to get in the tournament with his minimal hax and relatively low stats (around baseline 8-C when using his high end).

I take that back, Sword Guy Man is much better here. First key obvs. His AP is about 8.6 Tons of TNT.

 

[FlipLaScript]

Actually hold on, I realized that I have NicsNite's The Player. He scales to the high end of the vaporizing a human common feat (0.0729 Tons) and is 9-A so I doubt he'll get any higher than top 3, but he has some pretty powerful hax so you'll never know :0

Since I made the mistake of not specifying keys last time with Alagay, I'd like him to be in his "with equipment" key if that's alright :3

EDIT: y'know what, **** it we ball lmao. I'll also submit Minbitt in her adult key as her High 8-C version (Scales to 4.701 Tons)

Black (0.056 Tons of TNT)

I put these two horror guys:

Metal Sonic (Sonic.exe: Blood Saga - Original Series)

Looks like you got some upgrades since our last fight. I think this was called... Neo Metal Sonic right? Well then... let's see what you got Neo Metal Sonic.Executor before fighting Neo Metal Sonic Metal Sonic is, like his canonical counterpart, an evil Badnik version of Sonic the Hedgehog...

58 huh

 

[Diamond_Drone]

58 Megatons of TNT

Well, obviously not if it's 58 Megatons, though if it were up to date with the actual PC2 profiles it could probably be allowed. I think most of PC2 scales to 0.33 Tons of TNT right now?

I'm just going off what it says on the profile, so I don't know what the current scaleing for PC2 is

 

[ExSENNA]

Wow. A lot of potential challengers submitted by eager Entrants in a short amount of time. I was not very active I'll asses and look at this when I find a PC

It’s just what happens when you make a tournament for the peakest set of tiers in existence

 

[SSB64]

Oh! Cid can work for this Tourney. I do have to finish Chapter(s) 11 and maybe 12 though.....

 

[ExSENNA]

Oh nice! I think Flandre or Remilia could work for this, both of whom scale to 1.97795 Tons of TNT.

Flandre's Destructive Ability seems a way too much, and she's already pretty loaded even without it. How does it work? What does it work on? I may need to restrict it to let her in. Remilia seems ok. I guess I take their range as "Tens of Meters".

Game Master, 0.58 Tons of TNT

Why weird grammar errors


Size Manipulation might be an issue, as well as Mind/Perception Manipulation, depending on how they will all be interacting with other Challengers here.

Decyde should be good. Not as in he’ll place good, just that he should be able to get in the tournament with his minimal hax and relatively low stats (around baseline 8-C when using his high end).

You can submit both of them if you want? Every entrant gets 2 available Challenger slots.

I don’t have OCs on those tiers, at least with calcs, anyways I submit this girl

Immortality, Regeneration, and Fate Manipulation may make her impossible to defeat depending on how they work so they may need to be restricted

Black (0.056 Tons of TNT)

By himself or with equipment?
He initially seemed okay, but he has a lot of stuff with Toon Force, and depending on their function and consistency, I may need to blanket restrict it.

Actually hold on, I realized that I have NicsNite's The Player. He scales to the high end of the vaporizing a human common feat (0.0729 Tons) and is 9-A so I doubt he'll get any higher than top 3, but he has some pretty powerful hax so you'll never know :0

EDIT: y'know what, **** it we ball lmao. I'll also submit Minbitt in her adult key as her High 8-C version (Scales to 4.701 Tons)

The Player has such absurd Stealth that I don't know if other Challengers will even notice him. I honestly don't even think it's stealth, it seems more similar to what SCP-1504 does tbh. He on top of that has broken abilities like turning someone into skeletons, knocking someone out by screaming, and jus making people explode, and has even more stuff bc you submitted him with equipment too...

Minbitt seems ok, somehow unless I overlooked something again.

There are some new faces here too. You love to see it

Good on minbitt's front :3

I chose NicsNite's The Player because he has abilities that would reasonably let him fight a higher tier character (Sword Guy Man would one-shot him like 10 times over lmao).

As you can also tell, weaker challengers will need more Dura-neg options to win against stronger opponents due to the apparent AP difference, so they can get away with having more hax.

I looked at this and was like "oh then I think he'll be alright ig"

EDIT: If it helps, it's not in-character for him to use his stealth mastery while fighting unless the enemy doesn't see him immediately or he wants to pickpocket/steal something from the enemy

 

[Axorandom0]

You can submit both of them if you want? Every entrant gets 2 available Challenger slots.

I could, but I want more people to get characters in so I’ll only enter one

 

[Eden_Warlock99]

Why weird grammar errors


Size Manipulation might be an issue, as well as Mind/Perception Manipulation, depending on how they will all be interacting with other Challengers here.

It ain't my profile Game Master does kinda suck at using his powers, he didn't really achieve anything with the Size Manip outside of briefly making the Beheaded look ridiculous and even his own systems warned him to stop using it. The Mind Manip is admittedly more useful, but even then, the most he does with it is attempt to demoralize his opponent after he already starts overheating and that tactic straight-up fails the second time he tried it.

 

[Diamond_Drone]

Flandre's Destructive Ability seems a way too much, and she's already pretty loaded even without it. How does it work? What does it work on? I may need to restrict it to let her in.

Flandre is able to see the "eye" of basically anything and crush it to destroy the object it belongs to, basically meaning she can negate durability at a distance. As noted in her weaknesses, she is childish and wants to be entertained, so she doesn't really use it on anyone even when she says threatening stuff to (what is essentially) a complete stranger to her. At most she uses it to create dodgeable implosions on top of the target, which doesn't negate durability, for one single attack she does pretty early in her fight.

If that's still too much even if she doesn't really use it in-character, then restricting it or having just Remilia is fine.

 

[ExSENNA]

EDIT: If it helps, it's not in-character for him to use his stealth mastery while fighting unless the enemy doesn't see him immediately or he wants to pickpocket/steal something from the enemy

Since challengers will start at seeing each other and are aware of combat then he probably is fine then. He is in. Overlooked that he seems to many other overpowered, insta-win type hax so no for now unless I blanket restrict some stuff. Weaker characters can get away with having more hax but not like that

I could, but I want more people to get characters in so I’ll only enter one

Cool. I guess you could enter the other one if nobody else comes in, which will be the case most likely. Usually we get a spike of interest early on then it stops and we wair for weeks

The Mind Manip is admittedly more useful, but even then, the most he does with it is attempt to demoralize his opponent after he already starts overheating and that tactic straight-up fails the second time he tried it.

I see. He is in then. Potential man

It's fine then. What was too much that her potentially just oneshotting everyone immediately through it.

Usually when a character negates durability it's bypoduct their ability be it disease or poison or spatial attack or whatnot but her eye ability is a little unspecified. It's not elaborated what eye even is, making impossible to mitigate. It kinda looked like Type 3 concept to me but idk. Regardless, if she doesnt use it to insta-win then she's fine. She is in

 

[SSB64]

I forgot I had Lucy available (Everything above 8-C is restricted.)

 

[ExSENNA]

I added the most if not all Challengers and we reached 11 already. Keep in mind, some of them I added with possible restrictions on their abilities in mind as I mentioned

I forgot this Tourney was High 8-C capped lol, so Lucy would be that instead. Her 8-B stuff is what's restricted.

 

[FlipLaScript]

Was The Player's hax too much

 

[ExSENNA]

Was The Player's hax too much

I think so + if I were to restrict them, he kinda becomes so weak...

 

[ExSENNA]

I could, but I want more people to get characters in so I’ll only enter one

Not many other people will be joining in most likely would you like to also enter Decyde now?

 

[Axorandom0]

Yeah sure : P

I do wanna note that his stat situation is pretty weird. He has 5 different values for his AP and Dura lol.

 

[Axorandom0]

8*, I misremembered. It should be fine to use his high ends/“possibly”s.

 

[CCMBROTTERFN]

What about Erika Yuto (Monophobia)

 

[FlipLaScript]

I think so + if I were to restrict them, he kinda becomes so weak...

Alrighty then, I'll see if I can pull anyone else up to replace him :0

 

[FlipLaScript]

The only one I'd be down with pulling up atm is the Short Class, scaling to 0.02 Tons with their weaponry. I'd like for them to have all of their optional equipment though, as otherwise they'd have a real hard time fighting at these tiers.

I should note that they're currently going through a CRT though. The only things notable are that it'd update them to give them "9-B, possibly 9-A, at most 8-B" levels with their bite and it would also give them coercion for social influencing. That should be added within the next few days though :0

 

[ARandomDude127]

Game Master, 0.58 Tons of TNT

Oh god I need to pray I don’t get near him
Anyways, I’ll be submitting Shovel Knight, who scales to 584.33 Kilograms of TNT

Edit: I didn’t see that Tons were required, to which then Shovel Knight scales to the same value as Game Master

 

[ARandomDude127]

If I can, I would also like to submit EXE (PC2), who scales to 0.334 tons of TNT.

 

[CCMBROTTERFN]

Submitting this again, Erika Yuto (Monophobia)

 

[ExSENNA]

I was ill for the past few days, so I could not respond to any submissions. Now I'm back

What about Erika Yuto (Monophobia)

Immortality/Time would need to be restricted. Otherwise, she seems ok

Is CRT over now?

This profile is a little confusing but I remember he was on one of my previous tournaments before. It doesn't seem like much changed I guess he's in hope I am not overlooking something again

[ARandomDude127]

Not necessarily, it’s just that Game Master and Shovel Knight are both from the same verse (that being Indie Cross), and canonically Shovel Knight would get his ass WHOOPED by GM

So essentially if Shovel goes up against GM I kinda insta-lose

It is closed but I havent applied changes to the fakeuni verse in specific (albeit I have applied changes to every other character mentioned). I'll add them today though, you can check in on them again if you'd like :3

Not the most confident in my 2 submissions this time, especially given the cracked roster here. Will be aiming for a bronze this round, even if it is a stretch :3
