I was going to wait until this tourney finished up to post it, but re Jo'ou's comment, I was actually planning on running something similar to what he described: Nerf League.  So noms of modified versions of well-known characters.  Happy to chat with super about the details.

I'd also be up for perhaps another pairs tourney, e.g. teams of only 2 characters required to be from compatibleish systems.  Kind of similar to Fusion but not quite.

I'd generally speak in favour of solos or small teams, myself. I find large teams typically too cumbersome to vote on, especially if they're all from different games (greatly amplifying the odds of the match including someone you can't vote on).

Also am I missing something about silenced Kyril that doesn't just reduce him to an incredibly boring/forgettable dueller (that could probably be replaced with half a dozen other Suikoden Tactics pure fighters)?

Well, I meant Kyril/Cristo and solely as the only chat theoretical that I could remember (and, let's be honest, auto-silenced Cristo is even -worse- than ST Kyril under silence). The idea of a sideways twink league does amuse me, though - setups for PCs that wouldn't dramatically change their power, but would have them perform -differently- from their usual self.

Another thing I muddled with in my mind was a swap league (say, what would happen to Arnaud if he swapped skillsets with Yulie and vice-versa, keeping equips and stats? That kind of junk), but Iunno how accessible would that be.

Oh, that Kyril. Well that "twink" already exists, he's called Taloon. <___<

Interesting ideas anyway.
