Possible Superpower Tournament

everyone is malding about the Pokemon being too crazy so I’m just going to turn into a zoner/rushdown hybrid ig

To be fair half the Pokédex entry’s are
“Scrungle can devestate half a city block with a flick of its pinky”
But it’s never mentioned in game so it seems more balanced than it really is

Smogon in their way to slap scrungle in PU tier where it will be considered hilariously unviable despite its power lorewise (bad type matchups in this meta fr…)

ngl im thinking if i should make it 1v1s or 2v2s but it’s all npc teammates

It’s hard to say what your ability even does.

But if you want me to give it a try…

You essentially have a D&D ability.

Roll a 6d or 20d, your choice.

Your next actions will be affected by your roll.

You will ALWAYS have luck, the number you roll will be your repercussions though.

For example, a nat20 would indicate your next shot will be aimed perfectly, no matter where you shoot. It will bounce towards your target’s vital points. They either try to block it and take the shot or risk a quick bleeding or dying.

A 7 would make you shoot your shot, the recoil from it throwing your arm back and hitting you in the face. Your shot will still be on its way though.

A 13 to defend yourself would let you block for a chance to counterattack.
If you roll a nat20, you bust their balls with a kick which completely drops them.
If you roll a 14, you chop their neck with your hand and leave another opening.
If you roll a 9, you try to hit them which forces them to block and back away.
If you roll a 3, you try to hit them but step on your shoelace, tripping but accidentally falling in front of them, which makes them fall as well.
If you roll a nat1, you swallow saliva a little too wrong and cough, missing your chance and leaving you with a coughing fit for a few seconds, but accidentally hit their noggin with yours.

So you have 2 options for the 6d and 20d.

They’re either two dice you can roll in fear of the chances, if you want to have less chances you can land on, roll a 6d. If you want more chances and possibilities, roll a 20d.

OR

You can roll a 20d for your actions and a 6d for their effectiveness.

If you roll a nat20 on the 20d but roll a 1 on the 6d, your next shot will be perfectly aimed but can be blocked, and doesn’t ensure the damage will be fatal.
If you roll a nat1 on the 20d but roll a 6 on the 6d, your next shot will miss but will end up destroying the floor or some bs.
If you roll a nat 20 and 6, your next shot will be absolutely fatal, instant win. It goes towards their vitals and the damage will be massively uncontested. (Kinda broken but you DO know how odd your chances have to be to roll this, right?)

Either way, I don’t know if this is what you actually meant by your ability, and what I just described sounds a lot like what Flayire does.

Oh no, this is basically a completely separate and different ability entirely

Mine is just Murphys law in overdrive for the other person basically

So your ability is basically Wonder of U

Idk what that means

a Stand from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. think of the “Final Destination” movies but weaponized.

It activates whenever people try to follow the user. If you even try THINKING of doing it, calamity will befall you.
You’ll accidentally cut your hand while cooking, a lightbulb near you will explode in your face, cars will impact you, someone discards a cigarette while riding on the bus, piercing your finger, can make a fucking plane malfunction mid-flight to land on you.

Eh whatever

It’s easier to show it in practice, for example, I can just make the opponent have appendicitis just because it could happen

H-How do you even control that…? :sob:

By wanting it, although the “lore” explanation could just be I’m incredibly super lucky and unconsciously the best thing possible happens to me

So you have plot armor?

If sock was skilled enough with their gun, then they could still hit me if I was moving around, and I don’t think there’s a limit on how skilled you can make your character other than the limit of what humans can reasonably achieve in terms of skill. Luckily that doesn’t matter anymore

I think I judged your rework based on the fact that you said it was a dps thing. 5cm per second does sound pretty lethal pretty fast when used on a human being. Honestly, after reconsidering it, I would be ok with this ability in the beginning. We get to change our ability later in the tournament, which I plan to do, so this is fine for now

Less plot armor, more of a plot sword and shield

“If it can happen, I can make it happen”

this is basically walmart omnipotence tho

Ok

Didn’t ask :+1:

how come I should be nerfed when this guy can literally make the planet fucking explode just because there’s like a near subatomic chance of it happening

at this rate can’t you just say “I automatically win this fight” because it “can technically happen”

I don’t know id assume there’s limits
