Tybaltcapulet's " Damn it Appel, you stole my thunder with your title" Places

Last Place: Misuzu Kusakabe-Sorry Misuzu, but you aint getting any higher with me. Misuzu is a straight forward individual, who relies a lot on her swords, so that's highly dangerous for her in a situation like this. She may attempt to make friends, but her personality and demeanor will get her utterly screwed here. She'll be either ganged up on, or more likely arrested

12th Place: Black Dandelion- Yeah I'm going to have to agree with Skully here and definitely say that Black Dandelion isn't gonna make it very far. The conditions this thing has to go through to make it useful at all will hamper its combat ability severely. First it has to come into contact with someone, (using a NPC as an example) and it makes its tattoo. Then this person has to actually die.And unless the others in the tournament are looking to be as conspicuous as possible, they sure as hell won't kill them. Finally, BD better hope the zombie its created is actually competent in combat, or it's utterly screwed. Too many variables that BD must keep under control (and it's a fucking plant so good luck with that) for it to be successful.

11th Place Signum- Similar to Misuzu, Signum is just way too flashy in this battle to be very successful. Had this been a straight up brawl, she'd do much  better, but she's just out of her element in this situation. Something that really boosts her above Misuzu and BD though is the fact that she has a very nice teleportation ability. But even this will spell her doom. Constantly teleporting all across the area is gonna attract a lot of attention as well, and will either get her killed, or arrested.

10th Place- Cole MacGrath-Cole is a bro, helping out police to take down the baddies and has some badass powers to protect himself. But this do-gooder attitude is gonna get him into situations that he won't be able to overcome. He'll probably be ganged up on after using his very conspicuous powers and killed. If not that he'd inevitably get arrested for something he can't justify as self-defense

9th Place- Junchiro Tanizaki-Another bro is lost here as Junchiro is  an average looking guy and that's what gets him this high. Any abilities he does use will probably be spotted by stronger foes, like JoJo and her Elysian eye. He's not that smart and his personality prohibits him from really taking advantage of his averageness. He's too nice and will get stomped on by hungrier contestants or NPCs that catch on to some of the stuff happening.

8th Place-Kazuma Yagami- Yeah Kazuma is basically Junchiro with more power and is a total asshole. If he really has to protect himself, he'll have no problem. Kazuma will be able to make himself undetectable to everyone else which will save him for a while, but once he actually has to start actively applying his powers, he's gonna get discovered without a doubt. Also being an asshole and ruthless has its strengths and weaknesses. Unlike Junchiro, he won't get himself screwed by an ally, but someone that really hates him wil actively target him and make his life a living hell.

7th Place-Antonia Antonovna Nikitina​​​​​​​- Fucking hell I hate this name with a passion, ergo that's why I went the copy paste route like Skully. Anyways, Antonia will get this far because she is a well rounded warrior overall, and her cords aren't nearly as noticeable as something like Kazuma's Wind powers or Cole's elemenal abilities. But that doesn't mean she's home free by any stretch of the imagination. Those cords are still noticable, and will still limit her ability to kill effectively at a school like this. Also she has basically zero chance of making allies, limiting her severely.

6th/5th Place-Nana Hiiragi/Akiha Tohno-  I put these two together because to me they'll both go out in similar ways. Nana, is perfect for this situation, being a master at improvising weaponry, and having very, very inconspicuous needles which will give her a silent takedown. She's also good at reading people and her "bubbly" personality outside of her craft will get her a lot of allies, and make her invisible for most of the sim. Problem is once she runs into other opponents like Kabuto, JoJo and Lun Lun. Yeah while she's perfect for the sim, she'll be overpowered easily by them and she'll have really nothing to use against them. Akiha's hair will also be basically undetectable to almost everyone as I don't think anyone is realistically gonna have Mystic Eyes. This and her unassuming appearance will work wonders to get her this far. But more physically imposing foes again will do her in as besides burning peeps, she really doesn't have much to offer.

4th Place- Lun Lun- Lun Lun is simply OP.Twinkle Fortune, Aquamerald,Absolute Zero, her freaking dress, strong tactical ability, she's got it all. Like Nana she's got the personality to fool most of the school and many of the other combatants here. She'll be seen as a klutz by most and will blend in with the school populace quite easily. But when the next person here can literally see straight through to the truth, yeah Lun Lun's essentially screwed.

3rd Place Jojo- Ah Jojo, you're vast array of abilities and intelligence will get you very far here. Jojo being the friendly, unimposing lady she is, will be able to blend in pretty quickly. Her eyes will boost her ability to deduce who is trustworthy and who isn't. Cracking Field and the axe will be a very useful combo, being able to bring magical opponents to her and using her axe to finish her off. But... Good luck beating Tenkei or Kabuto. Kabuto has great durability and strength, so she'll be able to take her out in combat. Tenkei on the other hand, really doesn't have to do much of anything besides shoot her with his Colt. Bringing him to her would be a grave mistake with his Grey Sanctum protecting him while he uses the pistol.

2nd Place- Kabutomushi- Oof Kabuto is so damn close to winning here. Inconspicuous attire and looks, weapons she can keep concealed, and superhuman strength and durability to keep her alive( not to mention she's smoking hot, and yes I prefer her over Jojo, FLAT IS JUSTICE). She's reasonably intelligent, has experience as an actual assassin and can gather info pretty easily. Like Tenkei she'll be able to essentially go unoticed through all of the battle, albeit as part of the student population. She'll be able to defeat JoJo with strength and durability, being able to take and dish out punishment. Problem is, she'll have to face Tenkei, who unfortunately will do her in. As i'll go into in Tenkei's description, her weapons, tactics, and defense will be countered pretty well by having to face Tenkei not only in general, but last as well.

1st Place- Tenkei Iwafune- Tenkei to me is the ultimate winner here(And also easily the most badass contestant here). The guy may not be good at getting info himself, but he's got literally all he needs as a person to win it out here. He's not even gonna bother exerting himself into this battle until he needs to, and will wait until more power intensive foes are out and can face the better suited opponents on their own. Guy was able to convice Japan he was dead for a freaking decade, I think he can sit around, relax and plan whatever he needs to. He can not only create a magical barrier through his Sanctum, but also can destroy just about anyone with his Colt( What the hell is it with Colts and killing powerful stuff, first Supernatural now this?). He's very creative and intelligent and is very cynical, so to me JoJo's Elysian Eyes wont be very effective against him. Then comes the Best girl Kabuto. Ah this would be a fucking epic battle all on its own, but to me Tenkei prevails. It's not like she can just walk up to Tenkei and try to pull an innocent look, it's way too late in the game to attempt such a thing. The real question is here, will she be able get through the Grey Sanctum, and not get shot by the Colt? Honestly I don't think so, because once she goes straight at him, he's got a straight shot. She doesn't have super speed and won't be able to dodge his bullets, leaving her utterly exposed. And even if Kabuto gets close to him, his Colt is still formidable as a melee weapon. So overall, Tenkei is greatly suited to this situation, he's highly intelligent, creative, calm, unassunming, and his equipment can counter some of the greatest of the roster.
