Event The Captier America Tournament: Round 1
BRACKETS HERE
- Anticipate the tournament lasting four rounds total.
- Round 1: 3v3, Round 2: 1v1s, Round 3: 3v3, Finals: 4v4.
- We heavily recommend writing parts of your initial rounds in advance to help with time constraints.
What To Do Now:
- Discuss with your opponent who will post first.
After your initial response (or your opponents) is posted, alternate posting responses until the end of the round, or until you have both posted 3 times. If debater A posted a response first, Debater B would post next, followed by A, followed by B. Take turns, not that complicated.
First responses must be posted within 48 hours and each response after is due 36 hours after the last
All responses must be no more than 25K characters
Other Information
- If you believe your opponent has argued their character as out of tier, post an OOT request no longer than 10K characters alongside your response (this does not count out of your total characters and is evaluated separately from the match itself, not an admission of loss). Your opponent receives a single chance of equal character count to defend their in tier status.
- Other questions can be submitted to the judges via reddit or discord.

Introduction
At this point, both Hoboman and myself have outlined our win conditions. Mine are clear, easily executed, and consistent:
The same win conditions I have had the entire round are still applicable, and no feats I have been presented with contradict it. Even if those feats exist and are brought up in the third response, if they had been worth discussing they would have been presented by now in the debate.
Team Gonna Kiss Hyrule Straight On The Mouth
Terminator
The Terminator is criticized for being slow and brutish. While the Terminator is not particularly faster than an athletic human man, he compensates for it in other ways. He does not feel pain, meaning that he won't lose time recovering from being injured. He has a super computer for a brain thatis fantastic at calculations and helps him act more efficiently. He has a minigun that fires 6,000 rounds a minute. He has fantastic durability, massive damage output, targets weak spots and is hyper accurate. Does he make less overall actions per second? Probably- but they are the right actions.
If you think that Terminator is susceptible to being worn down due to his speed, you can see how someone like Moon Knight or Dracula, who also have little evidencing their speed and lack Terminators overwhelming durability, would be incapacitated even faster.
There are some specific ways mentioned that Hobo-Man's team might deal with Terminators overwhelming durability, but neither is particularly applicable.
And most importantly, all of those above things require your team to first enter melee range, which they cannot do against my team. Distance=time- the less distance you have between Terminators minigun and yourself, the less time you have to dodge his aim, something 2/3rds of your team will not try to do in character.
Zuko
Zuko's durability is challenged with a few different antifeats, most of which don't stick.
Even if Zuko's durability were as poor as suggested- the fact that Zuko can generate multiple attacks per second,reacts to various projectiles even from close distances, and can land attacks on people faster than your team is evidence enough that vs. your team, they will not have the opportunity to attack him until he has had multiple opportunities to attack them, and even a single attack is enough to incapacitate anyone it lands on. Every single member of your team has literally zero margin for error, they have to perfectly avoid every blast Zuko can throw.
Pointing out that Zuko struggles to tag Aang (even though he frequently does) is a misdirection. Not a single person on your team can move in the way Aang does, nor in the way Zuko does here. Spider-Man does not move this fast, even if he is ~ agile ~, let alone MK and Dracula.
Bucky
Bucky isn't really discussed much here, but just to reiterate-
And on top of this, he starts by firing a rifle that will violently blow apart whatever flesh it lands on.
