Welcome to the Grab a Partner (or Gap) TOC. In this division we have 64 fighters from each weight class waiting to go. In the first round they will be randomly paired up into team of 4. The teams will face off and half of them will be eliminated. The remaining fighters will be re-paired up in the following round until only one team remaining.
During the fight, the fighters get no extra knowledge about their opponents besides what they already know, but they do know the names of who they are fighting. All characters get whatever equipment is standard for them. Team receive prep time of 15 minutes to plan.

Makkari, Kid Flash, Sheila & Tommy Jagger

vs.

Mr. Sinister, Atlas, Deathstroke & Lady Shiva

Terrain:
City of the Future
This city was built thousands of years in the future. Buildings are so tall that they dwarf anything we have today. There are no streets as all cars can fly. The ground has still been paved over. There is not a single plant visible in the entire terrain. All building are accessible, but are also self repairing so any damage caused to a building fixes itself almost immediately. Flying cars may be used by the fighters if they wish, but the controls are very difficult and would take a long time to get a hang of it.

Makkari/Kid Flash/Sheila/Tommy Jagger vs. Mr. Sinister/Atlas/Deathstroke/Lady Shiva: ?????

Sheila's a GoldDigger character. Sheila's from the magical world of Jade and is part of the Edge Guard, basically a cross between Federal Marshels and D&D Adventurers.

Sheila's a werejaguar, giving fast regen, enhanced agility, and hearing that can read someone's emotions via heartbeat from 30 feet away, but in Sheila's case no superstrength in her hybrid form, only her regen-less human form. What Sheila does have is an enchanted sword Ice Fang that auto-blocked ranged attacks (including guns) and that when swung can create large quantities of ice to trap foes and for other purposes (sudden defensive barriers, wide-areas of lowered temperature but not instant-freeze, spots of ultra-low temperature, and similar).

Being from Jade, Sheila doesn't know Earth things like superheroes and science too well as Jade's civilization is entirely magic-based, but Sheila does have some experience due to association with Brianna Diggers, a gun/power armor nut from Earth, and there are large cities on Jade, just not tech ones.

I'll have some scans before too long.

Ow, Deathstroke versus 3 characters that are wholly or partially speed based, and Shiva is one of the few people that can beat Tommy hand to hand. At least Makkari and Sheila have other tricks available to them.

Makkari and Kid Flash? Yeah, Speed kills big time. Especially since this SHW Speedster won't be bothered by Deathstroke's jobber aura, nor Sinister's telepathic manipulations.

Three?

Sheila doesn't have superspeed, unlike Britanny, just somewhat higher than human agility. Were*jaguar*, instead of werecheetah. Jaguars are big tough jungle hunters instead of lithe fast sprinters. Sheila can get fairly fast in Jag mode... but not a speeder by any means.

Makkari's too tough for Deathstroke's sword too, I'd bet.

Sheila in melee



In short, the blocking ability lets Sheila get close to foes, then when in close Ice Fang's ice quickly covers the enemies if they're good enough to stop the blade itself, even guarding tends to cover the foe's weapons and makes them hard to use.

Oh yea, as 'Federal Marshals' of a magic world, all Edge Guardians have protections against mental control so they can't be subverted and can arrest mages and psychics without problem.

Whats the jobber aura mean? Sinister's team looks SICK!! I gotta look up that Makkari guy to judge.

Jobber aura means writers making other people fight bad around him.

Wally or Bart going slow enough near him that they can be hit, GLs forgetting to use their rings against him, that sort of thing.

Makkari is a speedster who's also an Eternal, meaning toughness, regen, and energy blasts, as well as immunity to mental assaults. Meaning even if his movement was predicted, Makkari's too tough for Slade anyway.

Deathstroke has taken out the actual Flash, I don't see Impulse giving him much problem.
Atlas will stomp the werejaguar, Shiva will dismantle tommy, and Sinister is a real force to be reckoned with.

Team Mr. Sinister for a huge win.

In this terrain Mr. Sinister working WITH Deathstroke will be a nigh unbeatable teamup. Those two have some of the most brilliant minds in their respective universes. Their skills and planning will lead their team to obliterate the opposition.

Exactly.

Makkari can move fast enough that everybody is standing still compared to him. He outran the f'in Runner.

What are Makkari's mental defenses like?

As an Eternal, immune to all non-eternal mentalists, right?

Well, Kid Flash can't do jack squat to Atlas, and even Makkari would have a DANG hard time putting Josten down (to the point I doubt he could do it reliably).

Being Makkari is the only guy on the other team with even a chance of putting Atlas down, I don't see his team winning this, even with a slew of speedsters.

Vote for Team Sinister.

Well, in saying that, Sinsister is the only one on the other team with the slightest chance to hurt Makkari (mentally), and if M is immune to all non Eternal mental powers, than Makkari could pretty much take the other team (as cool as it is) himself.

If Makkari went up against Druig, he'd lose pretty badly. Druig's psychics do some serious damage to Makkari in short order.

But that's because Druig is an Eternal himself.

It's worth noting that Makkari doesn't do much energy blasting or things regarding psychics other than the occasional communication telepathy. He's focused most of his energies into speed. But he still has at least class 50 strength and is definitely more than bullet proof.

I'll vote Team Makkari. Seems to me that Sheila is certainly good enough to hold off Deathstroke for awhile.

I'll add that Makkari and Kid Flash can pretty easily take down Deathstroke and Shiva in no time flat, meaning that it's all of Team Makkari vs. Atlas and Sinister. Considering that Sinister isn't nearly fast enough to hit Makkari or Kid Flash and that Makkari is immune to psychics, I'd say that Team Makkari wins that one. Makkari can beat Sinister while Kid Flash, Tommy, and Sheila tie up Atlas.
