@spector_rand: Bucky can have a heavy gun, I just don't think the magnetic mines were standard.
Rebuttals:
First things first, I want to know how your team will find mine and get in a position to ambush them for your tactics to work.
Green Arrow's glasses, they have zoom and target finders.
My team will immediately know the location of your team, where they move and their tactics due to Edwards telepathy and their telepathic link. Now, considering my team knows the location of your team and who they're going for, they will know who to counter for the best chance of survival.
I don't think they will just know where my team is located immediately. You haven't shown the range of Edwards TP, I highly doubt he can sense people 5 miles away. And I am sure a bullet or an arrow fired from my guys can go further then Edwards TP. Also just cause you can supposedly read my teams minds, doesn't mean you automatically know them or their capabilities or gear. If my team isn't openly thinking about their skills, then you don't know them.
My team begin moving toward yours, with Edward blitzing ahead and snapping Wesley's neck. He then blitzes Green Arrow, snapping his neck as well.
And here's where you went wrong. You haven't shown that Edward is that fast. Him out running a fodder vampire isn't that impressive if you can't calculate either of their speeds. So Edward can't dodge from either of these guys. And he sure has hell isn't blitzing either. Reacting to bullets >>> running much slower then a bullet. On top of Edward not being that fast, he (and the rest of your team) doesnt have basic knowledge on my team. He doesn't even know to attack Wesley and Green Arrow first. Why wouldn't he go for any of my other shooters?
By this team, the rest of my team has caught up. My Xenomorphs attack your Xenomorphs, which essentially nullifies them, while Spider Man and Winter Soldier tag team Selene. Sonny attacks the Punisher trio, using his agility and H2H skills to distract them from the rest of the fight. After Edward is finished with Green Arrow, he moves to assist Winter Soldier and Spider Man in their taking down of Selene. Then they mop up the Punishers.
Obviously you have your team set up to be my teams kryptonite (kinda but there's several problems.) Again, you don't have basic knowledge. Neither Peter or Bucky know who Selene is, and they don't know she's more powerful then the rest, why wouldn't they go waste time fighting the Punishers? Again Sonny doesn't know to attack the Punishers, why wouldn't he pick a fight with someone out of his class? And lastly Edward. He can't beat either Wesley or Oliver, so its kinda ridiculous you think he can take out both at the same time. Yet again, he doesn't know to got for them first. Your team just doesn't know the capabilities of mine, while my team can already have a plan formulated within the time it takes to walk the 5 miles or less.
Edward's speed is easily superhuman, meaning your team will struggle to react in time.
Which really means nothing considering, Wesley, Ollie, and Selene have all fought and killed faster opponents.
All of Wesley's bullet timing feats happened after combat had already been initiated. Considering this is a blitz, he won't be initiating his bullet timing state until its to late. Even IF he does react, there is nothing in his arsenal that can damage Edward and he isn't fast enough to damage him or react to him in close quarters combat
Wesley can spot a charging Edward, then initiate "bullet time mode". Even if can't spot him (He can, this is just theoretical) Green Arrow (Or any other team member) can warn him, Ollie has target finders in his glasses, and my team has coms to talk to each other with. You haven't proven Edward's durability. If his skin bullet proof? Does he have a healing factor? These are things that I need to see. Welsey out paced and killed the Butcher in CQC. The Butcher was deflecting bullets of knives point blank. Edward isn't that fast in comparison. As of right now Edward still gets shot down at range from either of my top 2 marksmen.
Notice in the first image, Edward moves so fast that another vampire appears to be moving in slow motion. He can easily eliminate Wesley and Green Arrow before your team are aware of whats going.
And just how fast are either of them exactly? Faster then bullets? Nope. Then Edward can't blitz either. And he doesn't know he is supposed to take them out first.
Both Winter Soldier and Spider Man will benefit from Edwards telepathy, as he can read multiple minds at once. They also have access to Spider Man's Spider Sense, so they'll both be aware of whatever moves Selene aims to use and when she is going to use them.
Okay, I am gonna dissect this a bit, cause it's kinda silly. Edward is the only one on your team that is used to reading minds. Spider-Man, Bucky, and the rest of your team would be annoyed at hearing other voices in their head. You don't have perfect teamwork to go along with your team linked TP, so its actually harming more then helping. A sparkly Vampire, a jokey Superhero, a brainwashed Assassin, and a living Robot aren't gonna see eye to eye with each other. If you want proof of my point, here is a conversation that took place in the tourney PM:
HigorM: Also, a question, team tp linked would grant sort of a teamwork?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lukehero: TP mind link means your team is connected telepathically; they can see, feel, know, hear, taste, etc what their teammates do.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sovereign91001: TP link with conflicting dynamics seems like it would only exacerbate the problem.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lukehero: Well if you had good team chemistry, TP mind link could help a lot. But if you had a few members that would be kind of annoyed with each other already, then TP mind link would make it even worse.
This basically cripples your team. And it's the reason I decided to go with coms instead of team TP.
Now on to that point about Spider-Sense. That would also be a distraction for anybody that isn't Spider-Man. Peter is the only one that knows who to use spider sense effectively. The rest would be annoyed by it going off and them having nothing to do because of it. So basically, a single member of your team has 3 teammates voices and 7 enemies voices and a pointless spider-sense all majorly distracting them from the fight. This is an incredible handicap for your team to overcome.
Thoughts on Edward.
Edward and Felix moving so fast they appear to be teleporting.
You're gonna have to post a video of this fight. This doesn't look to fast from a gif. As a counter, Selene speedblitzed Viktor's head off. And she was constantly appearing out of nowhere to that trained cop in UnderWorld Awakening.
Edward overpowering another vampire and crushing the floor.
How strong is this vamp? Is it a named character or is it fodder? These are things I need to know.
Edward smashing through stone and overpowering another vampire
Smashing through stone is impressive. But again....this this most powerful vamp? or is it fodder? And how strong has he?
Edward completely arresting the momentum of a van casually with one hand
While that's impressive, I think shoving around a semi-truck is more impressive. And Selene overpowered the guy who shoved around that semi.
Edward has a plethora of strength and speed feats that would give him the advantage if this fight was one on one, let alone three on one.
Well, you need to post that plethora of feats, cause I am not to impressed as of right now. I need to see Speed, both reaction and travel. I need to see durability to bullets, explosives, and blunt force attacks. And I really need to see more of his TP and of him using it effectively.
Revised Plan:
Green Arrow finds your team with his glasses. Then informs the rest of my team with their positions. Since they already have basic knowledge, they can discuss who fights who. And since they all know about Edwards TP, they decide to start the fight at range, where my team is way more capable then your's. Keep in mind that your team is already hurting cause of the team TP, and keep in mind that your team has morals and mine doesn't. Wesley goes after Spider-Man. Spider-Man is easy pickings when he is distracted. Oliver knows about Sonny, so he takes him out with an EMP. Oliver could also take out Bucky's arm with the EMP, and take him down rather easily with all taser arrows (or just shoot him in the skull). Even though Oliver can land precise shots on either, he doesn't need to, I already showed his EMP has a range of 20+ feet. Remember both Sonny and Bucky are pretty messed up from the team TP and Sonny has morals. The Punishers will be gunning down your Xeno's at this time. Selene and my team of Xenos will be the ones to face (The severely annoyed) Edward head on. After Wesley and Oliver finish off their targets they turn their focus on gunning down Edward. I am confident that Selene can fight on par with (and maybe even beat) Edward alone in a random encounter, so with a team of Xenos, 2 expert marksmen backing her, him weakened from the TP link, and his morals (I don't think he kills) getting in the way, she would stomp him.
What you need to prove:
- More of Edward's physical and skill.
- The exact range of Edwards TP and it's effectiveness.
- That your team can get along and not be severely screwed over by the team TP.
- That you teams morals won't get them killed easily.
