Everyone is talking about their OP characters and I made a team of the commonly unused characters who are thought to be weak. Do I get a perk for that?

You're telling us Luigi, Tails and the Spy are weak? *mindblown*

*Robo-spy. And I didn't say they really are weak just thought of that way. Just be glad I didn't bring them with the really dickish things I could bring them in with.

Weak? Tails is/was literally immortal! :P

That said, maybe their strength will be being criminally underestimated and ignored, like fresh anime heroes.

"What's this?! Where's the enemy?!"
"It's a-me, Luigi!"
"Pfah, useless mook. Where's he hiding..."
"B-but I have-a my own game and a-everything..."
"Over here? Maybe under this garbage..."

I have a stick figure, that one boss and a musical assassin. I like to think it a balance team.

You know, if this game was created by someone else, I know exactly what my application would include:

Team Member 1: Spyro (Legend of Spyro, the Dark Form and the wounds applying rather than 4-hit wonder with weaker abilities)
Team Member 2: Ratchet (Ratchet & Clank)
Team Member 3: Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) (Well, this can be debatable, so it might be changed to Cloud Strife {Final Attack-Revive materia combo would mean he is invincible, which makes me think that FFVII should be offlimits, due to the amount of OP materia could give you, see: Infinite double summon of Knights of the Round via W-summon-Knights of the Round with Mime})

"What's this?! Where's the enemy?!"
"It's a-me, Luigi!"
"Pfah, useless mook. Where's he hiding..."
"B-but I have-a my own game and a-everything..."
"Over here? Maybe under this garbage..."

Luigi rushes forward to assist his brother, tied to a bob-omb, "Mario! Is that-a you!?"

"It's a me... Mario." The red-hatted plumber mumbles weakly as though he's fighting to simply stay awake.

"Don't-a worry bro! I'll have these wires off-"

"Nooo!" Mario shouts as he shakes his head frantically.

"But-a... Wait... Is it triggered by the wires? It is!"

A soft click is heard before a gun shot rings out. Luckily Luigi manages to leap away from the impact just in time using his legendary jumping prowess.

"That's right. Touch that wire and the Bob-omb will explode along with the young man. So you're the one that the boss keeps talking about."

"Who are-a you?" Luigi says frowning at the old man who just entered the arena.

"Special operations FOXHOUND... Revolver Ocelot." Ocelot smirks as he twirls his revolver "I've been waiting Green One."

"What-a do you want?"

"It's not what I want. But what my boss wants." More constant twirling of the gun in his hand "You've become very important to certain individuals. Individuals that want the Mushroom Kingdom out of the way."

"Bowser!"

A small pause in the twirling "I'm afraid not." A toss into the air and back to twirling "That King of Koopas is... indisposed at the moment. Believe me the one I work for is much more powerful."

"What does-a this have to do with my brother!?" Luigi grows weary of these mind games and glances at his brother who seems to have fallen unconcious.

"Nothing at all. My employer simply wants your co-operation. All it'll take is for you to come with me. Your brother will be freed and everyone will come out happy."

"Except-a for the Mushroom Kingdom!"

"Maybe... But are you willing to risk your brother's life on that?" Revolver Ocelot holsters his weapon "Whether you come with me or not the Mushroom Kingdom will fall."

"Who is it?" Luigi seems more content to talk now that the gun has been holstered.

Ocelot smirks "Some one with a flowery personality. I don't know for sure. I've never met them in person. All I know is that they requested your presence and sent me to get you."

Luigi crouches prepared to launch himself into the air to fight this man who harmed his brother so thoroughly.

"Heh, I wouldn't do that if I were you. I've defeated the Mushroom Kingdom's most powerful warrior. What chance does his brother have?"

"I'll make-a you pay for what you've done to Mario!"

"Alright... You're coming with me either way... But first I'll show you why they call me... Revolver."

A single wind blew through the arena.

"Draw!"

The first team I came up with had Cloud as well, along with Riven(LOL) and Cain(Drag-on dragoon). Team tri-swords.

@Nerjin, That was just beautiful, man.

@Nerjin, That was just beautiful, man.

The weird part is that that's not even all of it. I've gotten an idea for an entire frieken arc of Ocelot/Luigi's fight. Who wants Luigi and Why. Why they're attacking the Mushroom Kingdom as well as something that'd throw an entire generation of games into question. Not to mention the fact that their teams would be included. I've gotta stop getting this sorta ideas.

-snip-

I'm seriously considering if I should make the IC thread now in order to have the players post 'Origin stories' of their team.

I'm also somewhat considering whether to remove a slot and just make the Arena Grandmasters the team I would have made because of the sheer power levels involved:  (will only do so if there is player support)

Is this a single elimination tournament or does everyone fight everyone eventually? As for your team being arena grandmaster... Meh, I don't mind one way or the other.

That origin story idea is actually pretty good, ignore the fact that part of luigis is already written for me.

Only that his brother's gone missing. Everything else is really up to you.

That being said I had a thought: Perhaps have the winner of the tournament fight a mod controlled team that's powerful but possible to be defeated by their selected members. Sorta like an individual boss for each team? I dunno...

Hope that works. Should be a link to all of the current teams, a round robin table, and a bunch of misc. stuffs.
