Suggestion: Star cap tourney

edited June 2014 in MPQ Suggestions and Feedback
A tournament with a cap on the number of stars that you can bring to the fight.

For example: a 6 star cap
    two 3*** characters and an empty third slot a 1*, a 2** and a 3*** three 2**s

It could be pretty interesting and force players to play with varied teams. It's a tournament that would also help level the playing field a little for those with less developed rosters. In a 6 star cap, you would not ever encounter 3 max 3*** on a team, so people still making the transition from 2** to 3*** might be as competitive as those in mid 3*** territory.

    I like this idea. It should give people who are starting to get bored something new to try.

    Maybe an Olympic-themed event? One Bronze (1*), one silver (up to 2*), one gold (any)?

    Fun idea, though I'm not at all certain it will have the desired effect of increasing diversity.

    Sounds like fun to me. Another idea that would have similar results, 1*'s are boosted 200% and 2*'s are boosted 100% (or maybe just 50%).

    200% boosted Juggernaut... Interesting idea, though, to give lower-power characters a boost...maybe 100/50/0 might be better, though.

    Good point, I always forget about Jugg. For some reason, I decided he wasn't going to fit into my roster. Maybe I'll build a new one.

    Neat idea. But I see enough Classic Storm/Thor/Wolverine combos already. This would make them pretty much a given for most of the non top tier players. With a little polish this could be a good one though.

    I like this a lot. icon_e_biggrin.gif I was originally trying to come up with some kind of ratio system (if you played the fighting game Capcom vs. SNK 2 you know what I'm talking about) but this idea solves the problem easily.

    I think it would also be cool if your weaker characters got buffed if you decided to go under the max star cap. For instance, in a 5-star tourney, if you picked 2 1-star characters and 1 2-star character (total of 4), your characters should get a small buff to compensate for the missing "star."

    Can i run a solo ragnarok for 200% boost? icon_e_smile.gif

    No, but you can run BagMan solo. No boost. He doesn't need one.

    Now that I've seen a boosted Juggernaut in the Hulk tournament, I can attest that he's seriously scary. I worried more about him than Ragnarok, mostly because his headbutt was an instant kill against most characters.

    I don't think Juggernaut was even boosted in the tournament. His Headbutt always did crazy damage since he takes half of the damage too. A boosted Juggernaut certainly would be very intimidating on defense.

    I really like this idea, but I think they'd have to patch the game client to support it.

    i like this idea, it'd definitely make people really think about who they'd put out.
