This article and content is to pay tribute to the great AZS for his clix character reviews. Hope there is nothing against the boards in praising this person. Thank you.
Welcome to my first crack at imitating AZS' review style. (now that's the sincerest form of flattery isn't it?)
I’m writing this so we can all appreciate the good works this person does on the behalf of all the members of HCRealms.
This review looks at his objectivity, subjectivity, strategic analysis, and his pure genius. I have nothing against this guy so hope this thread is nothing to be banned or such. This is to be discussed with azs in mind and his relation to his character reviews... unfortunately, I do not have the honor to meet this guy nor to play against him and I do not claim any opinion on AZS' personality outside of his character reviews. I also do not claim to be as good as azs in making this thread for that matter.
Feel free to object or agree or add happy/good information about this guy. If I make any mistake here, I will humbly acknowledge my error and beg for forgiveness. :p
Today's special HCRealms forum poster: AZS
AZS has joined HCRealms since 5/24/2002. From this day onwards, HCRealms has been blessed with his great love and knowledge of the game. With 1131 posts to date and counting, it'll only add up to even greater contributions for everyone.
Checking AZS' objectivity, he meticulously looks at the stats and the powers of each and every figure he reviews. BIG numbers aren't the only things he looks out for. He's very keen to look at the lowering defense stats that would help medics heal it with a better chance. His views on having an attacker have a 9 attack is also valuable to any player who truly wishes to play well in the local tournies. (heheh.. E Batman comes to mind)
Power combinations are also taken into great account where he takes into consideration all possible potential a power could reap and not simply as how it says on the PAC. (e.g. highlighting V Thor... who can carry an object, carry a fig, RS for 4 damage, then have his fare deal another ranged attack or whatever you have in mind... with Thor and his object in hand, it'd be scary to fight him at ranged and moreso getting into melee with him)
On his subjectivity and strategic analysis, AZS' supreme battle experience has clearly paved way to his great use of the figs. This can be clearly seen in his argument on R Black Panther versus E Black Panther and why the rookie is much more effective for its points. (e.g. if an opponent is dead set to get rid of BP's outwit, they'd go in an punch him out good in one turn.... the B/C/F wouldn't be as effective anymore then.. so save the 9 points for something else. Avengers free move is another extra bonus since you'd want to maximize his outwit while he has it... therefore, rookie is more effective than the experienced one) Clearly, we see here that AZS is not blinded by sheer power even in a small scale of 9 "measly" points.
Pure genius... do I have to elaborate? He's one of the wittiest guys around here. He's able to play very well (I would believe so.. winning tournies and all), do wisecracks, and even SHARE his honest-to-goodness strategies to everyone else.
Do be careful because if one would get into his reviews too much, AZS can actually use that to his advantage and counter that with a yet another pure genius tactic. This man is not to be trifled with. (so... danmed if you don't and MAYBE danmed if you do against him) We can't really know but AZS could very well be the Vet Dr. Doom come to life.... only stating that he's ranked number 2 in order misdirect attention to the cheesy you-know-who...well, sounds like Mastermind to me... ;)
Value... ah... here is what makes AZS one of the most valuable forum posters in HCRealms. His pieces of advice, his strategies, his arguments and his reviews are all done at a very affordable rate of FREE. And he even does two reviews a week! Now that can't be beat.
Now we can all go saying that AZS is even more broken than "He who shall not be named". For those who thought E Ultron would be #0 in his list... sorry you're wrong.... it's actually AZS himself. :p
If you're a newbie to the boards, I strongly suggest you do a search on all AZS posts, and read each and every character review this guy made. Or you can refer to the list Mr. Pilkington made in this link:

Cheers! :D
(P.S. AZS is actually spelled "azs"... I just don't want to be mistaken for having mispelled something there and hence the focus on his name)
(P.S.S. Hey, if it's ok to writeup something like this to praise a guy, maybe we can do so for great people like HeroComplex and Tsannik as well since they've been ultra-helpful especially in the Rules forum)
