I was reading a CAV and someone pointed out how saying a character is tactical is irrelevant since you choose the characters actions and it really made me think, are we looking at it as this is why my character will win or this is how my character is going to beat yours?

Is a characters tactical ability truly relevant in a CAV?

I would say so. It would certainly help if one were to argue against a character who wasn't.

@wolverine08:

So you see it in a "this is why my character would beat yours sense"?

I think it would be more reasonable if the debaters didn't choose what their characters did, because taking away that decision making ability is taking away a part of that character. It would be better IMO to look at how the character has acted in similar situations and use that experience as the basis for how well they would do in the debate.

Our course, I don't do CaVs or read many so I could be off the mark. Just my two cents.

I agree with this. Either the character does what they would normally do, and it's relevant or the debater chooses what the character will do and it's not. Although, typically in CAVs you still have to act within the limits of the character in which case it factors in to some extent.

You aren't using a Wolverine avatar?!

I gotta change my style up! Plus, this Iron Fist: Immortal Weapon #2 cover is incredible.

@wardemon32: Yes, I try debate why what my chosen character does in character will lead them to victory.
