First off, I would like to note that I do not intend to be overly argumentative or belligerent with this comment, I am simply pointing out some things and laying out an outline of a few possible changes, if they are necessary.

As for the power level thing: The line about them being "relatively limited" refers to their canon abilities, they have some moderate superpowers, but they are canon limited


 * Gun God's weapon can kill a god, but it's essentially a bit like Kiritsugu's Thompson Contender- if it is fired against anything other than its intended target (a god or similar entity in the case of the Black Barrel or a mage in the case of the Contender)- it's just a normal bullet, and all of the characters in this list are not gods, so it will just act like normal bullet. Also Gun God is a normal human, and very much susceptible to normal bullets.


 * Saeko manages to literally somersault about 30 feet through the air while slashing on one occasion, but still bleeds like everyone else- no superhuman durability. Will look up and add some videos tomorrow, but I've been up late enough as it is.


 * Yukiteru has a his Future Diary, so he can see attacks coming, but is a normal human- this version is before he became a god and thus not nerfing. Also, he can't read the diary all the time, and will die if it's destroyed


 * Artyom and Martin Walker are probably the experienced and best combatants, but have no powers or futuristic weapons.


 * Saki's Cantus is a powerful ability, but the "death feedback"- essentially a built-in "genetic self-destruct" function will kill her if she uses her powers to kill a human. However, she can still use it to disarm, block, evade, or even incapacitate (as well as potentially bluff opponents that are not aware of her ability), as well as kill animals, but she will be forced to play defensively.


 * Kousuke Kira has a number of powerful advanced BIMs, including an implosion grenade, a heat-seeking micro-UAV, and a device that is basically a WWI-era gas attack in the size of a soda can, but is a psychopath, with no combat experience apart from the death game.


 * Isaac Clarke is experienced and has some advanced weapons, but looking at how easily his suit is destroyed in the games, it's protective abilities are probably limited. The plasma cutter also has limited ammo which cannot be replenished in this scenario.


 * Ethan has his voice attack, but it takes a limited time to charge and is generally outclassed by automatic weapons, which many combatants have.


 * Booker has his vigors, which could be countered and by no means make him immune to bullets, but I will admit he is one of the more OP ones. The other one that is potentially more over powers is the Courier, given he has VATs. It might be possible to remove one or more of Booker's Vigors or the Courier's 12.7mm SMG, which is entirely possible given that version without those weapons exist in the game and thus are canon and not nerfing.


 * Shihoru has her magic, which grants her powerful abilities, but it is slow to cast and has a lower velocity than a bullet. Not to mention being useless if things get up close and personal.


 * Chuck Greene is mostly a normal human, albeit surprisingly talented in combat, with the only real "superpower" being that he can somehow make devastating or even futuristic combo weapons out of random junk- i.e. flashlight + gems = laser sword.

Also, note the scenario- this is an objective-based match. It is perfectly possible for someone to survive by hiding out in the woods and hunting/gathering/fishing while avoiding the supply caches and other combatants. It is also permissible for character to work together in groups, among other strategies. Essentially, I don't see it as being any different from Leolab's Operation Zodiac- Nana Hiiragi would not be able to win a stand-up fight with someone like Kabutomushi, but that is not an issue as the objective is not a stand-up fight. Much the same with the likes of, say Yukiteru Amano vs Courier 6- using his diary to avoid the other combatants is just as viable a strategy to win, for instance.

From where I see it, there are three possibilities here:


 * A. This works fine as an objective-based match, and power levels in direct combat are not an issue as that is not the primary objective.


 * B. Make this fairer by removing the weakest links- Saeko, Yukiteru, and/or Kousuke Kira, and maybe Shihoru


 * C. Remove the strongest characters- The Courier, Booker DeWitt, and Isaac Clarke.

In either option A or B, the removed characters could be replaced with other options.

Any community, and particularly admin input is appreciated.
