I think out of these three team 1 is the way to go because you have two great ranged attackers in Moonstone and Cap plus a great close combat figure in Gamora and its a much more threatening team then the others.

[blitzkriegbop56]

team one is the way to go for sure its alot more balanced ,and u have alot of atackng options and great defences too

[TopDog]

I like team 2. But I'd replace 1 Lightspeed and Stingray with SI Spiderman

[Impulse-ive]

Not much damage reduction on any of the teams. If someone hits, you will feel it.

[canaaron]

I'm expecting to play against at least one Metron team and one Batman/Moonstone team. Pretty much everybody plays PsyBlast or EW where I play, so damage reducers aren't a huge deal anyway. I plan to use the map to my advantage and either use Lightspeeds to block LoF or to use Cap to shoot around buildings.

[Immortal_Raven]

Team one hands down. In my experience, giving your opponent too many threats to neutralize forces them to overcommit by:
-pushing
-poor positioning
-gambling on an attack that has a <30% of hitting.

You've also got methods to penetrate a bunch of defenses. Oh, and I'm also a sucker for Gamora.

Me like! But I do HATE Contingency Plan! Not that you shouldn't use it. CP is excellent, Cap + CP is awesome!

I JUST HATE CONTINGENCY PLAN!

[canaaron]

I knew I'd see a lot of people going for team 1, but I didn't think it would be hands down. Thanks to all. I agree, it is a lot to deal with. Everybody hits, and if I play it right, I can hit with Pip from across the map.

u kill someone with pip let us know!

[canaaron]

I think it's likely to happen. The guys I play with aren't too bad, but I don't think they'll see the space Gem coming with an 11 AV and a Meteorite! Lol, imagine Metron goin' down by Pip. That would be hilarious.

Darkseid would be cooler... or Thanos... (who plays Thanos anymore...)

[XFORCE1982]

Can you give us more info about your tournament? What figures do you feel more comfortable with? What's your meta/crowd like? Can you use all sets or are you playing by "restricted" How cheesy are you willing to go lol?

[canaaron]

We are playing restricted. I am the meta-crowd where I play, lol. I usually win, but sometimes I get beat when the players draw out the time limit. Honestly, I don't put together any teams I don't feel comfortable with and I generally think every figure has a use. I think Team 1 is pretty cheesy, but I am expecting to play against one team of KC Supes from Crisis, one team of Metron with either 2 Nightshades and 1 Flashbang or 2 Marvel Girls. I'm not really looking to build any more teams, just to try and decide between these ones.

[XFORCE1982]

I'm sold, use team one, just for the love of god don't get hit lol If you get hit, your gonna take a lot freakin damage..two suggestion, why not use Super Rare Scarlet Witch and Gee, Use him to tk moonstone or cap and attack from down town..i'm just saying

[canaaron]

I had considered both of those, but thought that one more attacker was better in my favor. I believe we are playing on the anti-monitor's fortress map so Cap should be zinging away and Gamora can charge around walls. If we don't play on that map, Moonstone and Pip will be very effective once Gamora is in their faces.

[rowesbud]

Team 1. Way yes. Although Psycho Man is fun to play... he doesn't win much.

[canaaron]

Yeah, I play-tested team 1. Pip Ko'd Lightspeed with one shot with a heavy while tying up Namor for a couple of turns(super-senses galore). Missed an attack on Gamora that would have KO'd her, but again, tied up anothe rpiece of my opponents. Moonstone rolled a crucial breakaway roll to get a RS PsyBlast in on Namor and carried Cap with her placing him behind some outdoor blocking terrain. He shot from afar and destroyed the softened up enemies.

Any suggestions on BFCs/Special Objects to play. I was thinking meteorite for Pip, but am a little stumped beyond that. Print and Play is good, so anything Supernova and up is okay.
