BLUH'S $25 FB Credit Battle of Giants - Main Tournament

EDIT: This has been extended to the 21st of January due to unexpected events coming up (read: planning school prom). Feel free to edit/add scenarios as as you wish!

Hey guys, it's BLUH! Round 1 of the Battle of Giants has come your way!

Now there's a few things that you may have noticed here.

There are more entrants depicted in the below brackets then actually entered.
The prize has increased from $20 USD to $25 USD.
There is a badly edited-in Stay Puft Marshmallow Man on the brackets below

I'm going to answer the first two, the latter first:

There was a lack of $20 Cards in the store. So I went with the $25. It's as simple as that.

Now for the extra "entrants", first notice that their font colour is different from everyone elses. That is because they are a "Bot". Seeing as how I re-opened up the entrants earlier, a (rather annoyed) Regulus22 suggested I do it to keep participation up. They won't actually have any scenarios put in, as they just kinda sit there, but the teams paired against them will have to make a scenario to show how they are beat. More details in the rules.

So without further ado, let's get on with this show!

Rules for this round[]

All scenarios will be posted in the comments section below.
There will be two factors on which they will be scored upon: Research and Enjoyment. Each will take 10 points, for a total of 20 points.

There will be two methods of making scenarios, They are:

Both entrants in a pair make a scenario, and the score used would be the average of the scenarios.

The entrants will alternate in making a one scenario a round, in the pattern of X,Y,X,Y... and vice versa.

You have to show that you have done your work on researching your opponent and your character (Trust me, I'll know when you've done none/biased research), and have a basic understanding of both your partners and your opponent's characters.

The more I enjoy it, the more points you'll get in this category... for a max of 7 points.

The other 3 points will be given via a community poll asking how enjoyable this fight it would be to them, and the points will be awarded based on the percentage of "yes" votes.

You will have to get a score of at least 12 to make it to the next round. If you don't make it, the bot will move on as if it's an entrant

If entrants have any sort of enhancement that increases size, strength etc., it is not allowed to be used in your entry unless it will "even-out" the match-up, or if the opponent has a similar enhancement that they can use

I will note judge too hard on things such as spelling and grammar, as I'm aware of things like language barriers

If your entry has various equipment it can use during battle, please notify what equipment they are going to use at the beginning of your entry.

If your partner doesn't post by the end of the round and you chose the former option, they are kicked out of the tourney, leaving you scored without the averages and having you by yourself the rest of the tourney. If you get the "Champion" title, you will receive both $20 cards.

If you chose the latter option and your partner didn't post before the due date, you may post one yourself for a %10 deduction. If your partner does this twice, they are kicked out.

ON TO ROUND 1!

An entry was submitted, and I skipped over it. Do to my mistakes, this team automatically goes on to the next round.

Polls results= 2/3 points

Scenario Scores:
- Eva Unit-001 & Atlas
  - Eva Unit-001
  - Entertainment=6/7
  - Research=4/10

If you're wondering why your research grade is low, it's because your fight was against the original Mazinkaiser, not Mazinkaiser SKL, and there are big differences between the two (I.E. different pilots). However, you did put a good effort in researching the original, so I'm not letting that go to waste.

- - Atlas
  - Entertainment=6/7
  - Research=7.5/10

Your research grade would be higher if it wasn't for the fact that you represented the Shin Getter as 3 seperate entities rather then a single robot with three forms, though it's still entertaining.

- - Average Score=11.75
  - Total Score=13.75

This team gets to move on to the next round.

No entries were submitted, the bot moves on.

No entries submitted, and, while they have told me legitimate reasons for non-participation before-hand, I don't think they'll be able to participate in the next round, so the bots move-on until further notice.

It's tails! Team Bolo Mk.28 moves on!

Team MG-Ray and Gundam wins!

Edit:Extending Round 2 to the 20th. Reason will not be disclosed (and you guys really don't wanna know...)

I am very sorry for the week-and-a-half wait for the next round, I would have posted sooner but my computer was acting funny for a while (and I'm sure something's up with it still), so I was unable to access my files for the tournament. No matter, let's start, shall we? Pleases communicate with your partners as needed.

Also, I am doing away with the polls for the rest of the tourney. They didn't really do much and would really only be important for the people against the bots, and, again, it really didn't do much.

ENDING FEBRUARY 15TH
