@Haaydrian:
I don't have to because the OP changes the context of the battle.
I'm going to address the final part of your post first. But if we are going to continue arguing what is or is not in character for the 2 I need examples. Yes its true now you don't have to, however if you are going to continue this debate you need examples.
Depends on the rarity. Daken doesn't use his Pheromones every fight, but in the battle forum he still has access to them in every fight, so much so that people go as far as to put "No Pheromones". For someone like Thor, on the other hand, we don't say he can use TK or whatever it is they claim he can do, because he doesn't use it consistently. That's the key word here. GA and Hawkeye using these arrows in a consistent manner, so they can be used in a battle forum.
Daken doesn't use his pheromones much in character (not for combat anyways). People just assume he does and that is why it is brought up all the time. And no hawkeye and green arrow do not use these arrows. That is my point. There going to use the arrows they normally do.
Show me an issue where Daken uses Pheromones to make a group of enemies null. Same thing. It is in personality for Daken to use his Pheromones in a fight, just like it is in personality for Hawkeye/GA to use their arrows. This "using it first in battle" is bull. If you want to prove that it is, then you provide a scan/issue of reference where they claim they always hold back in the beginning of the fight. Another anaology. Superman wins against Hulk, the most basic reason why is because Superman can't be tagged by the Hulk, his speed is too great. (Or course, he's also stronger, but lets not get into that). But how many times has he been tagged by people with low speed? Immense. But he still uses speed enough times in a consistent manner that people attribute the speed to being in character. (And don't confuse speed with speed-blitzing, whether innocently or not)
Daken doesn't use his pheromones much in character. He has used them twice iirc for combat reasons. Every other example is for manipulation and not actual combat. There is actual evidence of superman using his speed in character. He uses his speed when he has to. He has been tagged by slower characters a few times (mostly when he fighting people who cannot actually hurt him) but he has shown more times to use his speed in combat.
Yes, but they don't normally have an infinite supply of arrows. Their personality is still the same, however the manner that they're going to act because of this vital factor in the OP is going to change how the battle plays out, even if the characterization of the characters (pardon the redundancy) remains the same.
Green arrow and hawkeye have gone entire fights with using arrows like sonic arrows and plasma arrows, etc. I don't see why they would suddenly start using arrows right off the bat that they have sometimes ignored.
That's like giving someone a Kryptonite gun against Superman and then claiming that they aren't going to use it because they don't use it normally or in a consistent manner. The OP is changing in an equipment, so the character's actions are going to take accordingly. This is an example illustrating what I was saying above.
Thing is the op hasn't actually changed the equipment that much. He just sent a link to a page that lists hawkeyes and green arrows standard gear (and some other characters). I see no reason they will act any differently then normal. Unless you got some scans or issue references of hawkeye and green arrows starting a fight off with 1 of there easy win arrows there is no reason they will start off with those arrows here (with the exception of the edit in the op)
