User blog comment:WanderingSkull/Hell School: Class Is In Session/@comment-422690-20190403030820

14th: Ningen. While its abilities are useful for support, it’s allergic to cringe in a field full of it. It’ll end up dead of anaphylactic shock before it can actually put its skills to use.

13th: Owlman. He’s ill-equipped to actually fight most of tike the he other combatants. While his arsenal of mundane weaponry is useful, it’s not going to get him far against opponents with actual powers.

12th: Putin. Putin’s got a rather lackluster arsenal, to be frank, but his ability is fairly potent and will get him this far. His tank isn’t nearly as much of an asset as most people think, because tanks are crew vehicles. One person cannot operate a tank by themselves; the T-40 requires 2 and the Abrams requires 4. Putin’s arsenal basically requires him to work alone.

11th: Tiger Master Ken and the non-Cornelius EA Cats. While he’s moderately well-equipped, he ultimately has no actual way to counteract the utter brokenness of other characters. He’s a solid entry, and by no means weak. The Cats that aren’t Cornelius also fall short here for the same reason. Conelius gets a bit farther because he’s at least got some leverage.

10th: Boris the Very Equal and Mecha-Hippoman. I generally see these two killing each other, with Boris disabling most of Mecha-Hippoman’s armor with Seize the Means or Mecha-Hippoman using the one tool all Trotskyists dread: themselves an Ice Axe. Since I don’t really see them getting much farther, and who wins here depends on who gets the drop on who, I’m voting them to tie.

8th: Srerenety and Isaac. They’re both… fairly unremarkable. No glaring weaknesses, but unlike those above them no glaring strengths, either. They’re so intensely average that I can’t even put one above the other.

6th: Xavier Deadnsyde. He’s got a good skillset for this match, but he’s ultimately outmatched by the top five, who can either eliminate him out of his range, overpower him, or counter his trump card.

5th: Elizabeth Neko. Out of the top five, she’s the least prepared for an actual fight. She gets this far only by being carried by my Neko, with whom she has good synergy.

4th: Clark & Trumpman. Clark mostly gets this far based on his marksmanship and healing factor, while Trumpman – one of the two poster children for the idiotic “cringe = OP” crowd – makes it this far based on pure brokenness. At this stage, though, the two combatants higher than them can overwhelm their regeneration factor, either through sheer damage or through weakening it when nearby. Trumpman also falls short because his abilities, while broke af, require setup time and awareness of existence, something the top two can negate, either through powers or simply hiding. Clark’s big death is also likely to take out whoever’s fighting him.

2nd: My Neko: My cat’s got a good bit of equipment, like the lightsaber crossbow, as well as a trio of highly versatile powers. Her edginess lets her power copying put in a lot of work for her, as she can copy anyone’s power. Her corrupting presence and shadow magic also work well in concert, allowing her to weaken her foes’ equipment before striking. Ultimately, however, she doesn’t make it past the other dumbass who thinks “bad = OP.”

1st: Kazzy Kat: What can I say, even the nerfing didn’t make this flaming pile of junk any less stupid OP.
