VS Battle #1: Rich Guys who are also Superheroes/Villains!

1.) Not being able to attack til you have 25 HP kills a whole dimension of play; being able to attack off the bat offers more possibilities and room for turn arounds
I wanted people to have some hp before they started attacking, so the game would last longer. What you said is a possibility though...
2.) Black Panther’s being able to gain such a huge advantage in one turn so easily makes gameplay too iffy
I'll admit, I gave that move too much of a boost... You had just one shotted Batman and I wanted to help Black Panther out. But I'll keep this in mind
3.) The turn system is wack- it’s very easy for someone to do what the Hawaiian do and wipe out all competition without interruption
I agree. Originally, I kept this system in order to encouraged more participation. Not that it worked, anyway...
Suggestions:
Make the game mode super aggro so things don’t drag out; powerful special attacks like mine, quick stocking moves like TCS’s
I would disagree, making everything that aggro would end a game too quickly. I could possibly boost healing though...
Have it so each person DMs you their moves and daily update the battle status
Definitely something I'll try next time. However, this would kinda prevent multiple people from being on the same team, because moves would have to be communicated between teammates via PM, and I can predict that it's not gonna work that way
Make a move that blocks 2 dmg for 1 mana, so that prediction skills can come into play.
Hmm then wouldn't everybody just spam the block like you people spammed bide this game? Good idea, but the logistics may be be rather complicated. Also this would only work if the moves were PMed to me
Give characters passive traits that make them more than just a shell ex: Batman gets one extra mana with a bide, Iron Man does 1 extra damage per attack,etc
Basically you're saying that I should allow special abilities as well as special moves?

Perhaps have a time limit before you could move again, say 12 or 24 hours, so people can't drag out the game by not posting, but you can't Hawaiian it, either...
Idunno about that... Everyone could wind up want to be on the team with the best abilities, and the rest of the teams would then wind up Lexing...
Perhaps group PMs so that teams can coordinate their moves if you go the PM route?
I don't think we spam-bided...
And something preventing one-attack kills of teams, and maybe some sort of undo move that can be used once per team per game or something of those sorts to undo the last damage, but it costs all of your mana or more or something. The "more" part could be used by docking future mana by forcing a Bide without storing any...

If you spam block then people just won't attack and just bide on you; block doesn't do anything if people don't attack on the turn you block.
The abilities would be balanced, and everyone has a favorite hero..... (maybe ask for interest in a hero)
Blocks prevent one attack kills- it's just a game of out manuevering your opponent

Okay so for the next three rounds, I have a few things in mind. I suppose we could do a poll, a Mini-Sassy game (as in clue solving), a Mini Think-Different game, or another Round 1 type game... what do you guys think? I will make this VS battle consist of four rounds, so a tie will not be possible. Thus I will only be able to do three of the above options...

What if it's a tie?

[MadCow2357]

Then, uh, I'll not count this round and create an extra round.

[LittleMissNyan]

Could we try just a Hurt and Heal? Or would the Hawaiians spam that too?

Can't you just argue it out like comic book nerds have done for decades
