New Mvp Rule

It comes to the Staff's attention that many people in the past have misunderstood who should be sent to the MVP tournament. Some teams would send whoever they felt had the best chance of winning no matter if they really deserved it or not. Others would send whoever they liked the best instead of who really earned the spot. Remember, the MVP tournament is not supposed to be taken too seriously. It is a slap stick event intended to show off the seasons best performers in a silly event where anything can happen. IF you are in it to win it, you are doing it wrong.

Now that we have actual stats, we have decided to enact a simple rule. Your highest damaging player automatically goes to the MVP. While who is an MVP is sometimes subjective, it is hard to argue that the highest damaging player is not MVP material. The MVP is not who you liked best or who you think will win. It should be the person that stepped onto the field week after week and performed best. The highest average damage is the simplest way to tell this.

Some people may not be the biggest fan of this, but this is the only way to keep teams from violating the whole point of the MVP tournament. In addition it will help to ensure we see new face at the tournament instead of seeing the same people year after year because they are good 1 on 1 fighters.

So, here is the list of everyone going to the MVP tournament:

Androids: Cell
Blades: Cyborg Tao
Buus: Kid Buu
Cold: Frieza
Derp: Dodoria
Dragonball Warriors: Nam
ED: Mid Goku
Ginyu Force: Recoome
Gohans: Teen Gohan
Majins: Majuub
Muscle: The Rosh
Nameks: Tambourine
Rugrats: Goten
Saiyans: Scouter vegeta
SSJs: End Vegeta
Vals: Fasha

Oh, be quiet. I could probably make a case for getting Trunks in, but it would take too much work.
Yeah, that and it wouldn't actually convince anyone. Especially not considering what we've already said.

We all know the real reason. It's Goten's turn to win. We have to be fair to the children. :P

I thought the point was to be as cheap as possible :P

No no no, the point is for you to send your most valuable player to the tourney so THEY can be as cheap as possible! You have to be good to be cheap :P

I don't really know the stats of the DBW but Nam has done more damage than Tao has?

Yes, he did the most damage by far.

I'm really not comfortable with this rule. It doesn't really hurt my team, but that's what makes it feel wrong to me. We get a player that's very well suited to a 1v1 fight in a small space, and the Gohans get a strong Super character with a reputation for spamming Ultimates.

I know you say this rule is to keep the spirit of the Tournament intact, but...I completely understand where Obsidian is coming from. I'd much rather have a less...rigid and numerical system. I'd much rather look at it from the point of "will this make the Tournament more or less fun to watch?" And with the information provided so far, my answer is "less".

Imagine Fasha or Nam vs. a spammer like Teen Gohan or Majuub, if the ring turns out to be too small for them to get room to charge and they lose, it makes the entire fight (to me) both less enjoyable and less legitimate.

And yes, I know they can change builds, but it's the AI that matters most. So, what, they just pick one at random? Not everyone has several good tested AI to choose from.

I agree with Gir and Obisidian, you're too focused on keeping the "spirit" of the tournament and not giving a shit to the fun factor, if that is the case might as well stop doing the tournament, if you really wanted to go by the stats you should have annoted other stats like damage suffered for example, and should at least have noticed us earlier.

What's wrong with having your BEST character fight in the MVP tournament?

Kakori, if you have an argument to make try to do so in a polite and respectful manner. There is no need for your attitude.
