Design a PvP

Marvel Puzzle Quest MPQ General Discussion
1

So we have seen many PvP tournaments and although the featured character(s) ones are cool I really like the more zanny ones like No Man’s Land. So let’s brain storm some cool PvP events we would like to see.

Seeing Double
Required Character(s): None

Character(s) Banned: None

Rule(s)/Boost(s):
The one per character rule for this event is removed. This means you can run a team featuring both Patch and Astonishing Wolverine or even three Hulks. Using two of the same character grants those characters a small level boost and using three of a kind grants a slightly larger level boost. This boost happens for exact copies (like 2 Hulks) and same character but different covers (like Patch and Astonishing).

Who would you use:
If I had them I would run team three Hulk because dear lord. But with my actual roster I would probably run Astonishing and Patch Wolverine with a third person.

Skrull Training
Required Character(s): None*

Character(s) Banned: None

Rule(s)/Boost(s):
With the Skrulls about you need to be ready to fight yourself! When you pick the team to fight you must use one of the characters they are using. For example if you are fighting Patch Wolverine, Punisher, and Hulk your team must feature Patch, Punisher or Hulk and any other two characters. Using characters others tend to have less leveled will hamper enemy team options.

Who would you use:
Probably my core of Punisher and Spidey and whoever my highest level third was from the enemy team.

What PvP would you like to see?

If I put in my Hulk at half health 3 times then in the game 1 dies and 2 comes out at various state what I get after the game?

Interesting ideas, especially the mirror one.

It’s Not Easy Being Green

Required Character(s): None*

Character(s) Banned: All characters that can learn a Green skill

Rule(s)/Boost(s):

Likely Characters: OBW, Daken, MNMagneto, Moonstone, IM40, Psylocke, Doctor Doom, Spider-Man, Hood, Black Panther, CMagneto

I like the seeing double idea. Not so much your 2nd 1.

End of the world tourney

Characters required / banned - none

Everything is out of control and fierce battle has broken out during the chaos!

Features new board - environmental power - earthquake - destroys 8 tiles and adds 5 environment tiles to the board

Features all boards like with forest fire and and snow 1.
Gain environmental ap at a 3x increased rate for the duration of the tourney!

5

Modern Storm and Black Panther agree with this idea.

6

I wamt a battle of the sexiest tournament. We just need way more females. Also an enemy tournament would be nice, example Storm vs. Black panther.

7

Team up with a goon!

4 nodes, each node lends you a lvl 100 goon from a different faction: Hammer, Maggia, Brotherhood or Doombot.

Banned characters: stunners

The goon would generate AP every turn, just like in PVE. With a constant inflow of AP, fights can be nice and fast.

8

Six Star Shootout
Required Character(s): None

Character(s) Banned: None

Rule(s)/Boost(s):
Your team is limited to total six stars. Meaning you’ll have to use a team of 3*/2*/1*, 2*/2*/2* or 4*/1*/1*. Tournament will allow also less total stars (so 2*/2*/1* and similarly “inferior” teams are also available) but never over six total stars.

Who would you use:
Probably this would become just casual 2* fest since most people are going to use only them. But just maybe somebody might use maxed M.Storm and pair her with some powerful 3* tanker and supporting 2*.

1 v 1

No games… Bring your best man and duke it out with the other.

Stunners only banned

10

Made a post about this a while back, but: Simulator PvP

Banned characters: any your opponent is using (including variations ( if they’re using c mag, you cannot use c mag or mn mag)).

No buffed characters.

11

Nerfed characters. Some characters get a debuff, so rather than some characters being 50%/100% stronger you have characters that have 50%/25% of their normal stats. Eg. you can use spiderman, but he’ll have 1450k hp instead of 5800 hp. Perhaps some stats could be debuffed and other stats left alone or even buffed, so they become very fragile.

1.45 million health Spidey??? icon_eek.gif

13

All gummed up!

Required Characters: Paste-Pot Pete
Banned Characters: Everyone except Spider-Man, Black Widow (Modern), Venom, and Bag Man

Character Provided: Lvl 15 Paste-Pot Pete (2/2)

Paste Pot Pete (1)*

Glue Guns (Purple): Paste-Pot Pete fires his twin glue guns, temporarily disabling his enemies in a sticky mess.
1: Stuns for 1 turn
2: Stuns for 2 turns
3: Stuns for 3 turns
4: Stuns the entire opponent team
5: Stuns the opponent team for 2 rounds

Ant-Gravity Device (Yellow): Paste-pot Pete employs his anti-gravity device to rise above the fray, making him difficult to strike.
1: Adds one defense tile to the board
2: Adds two defense tiles to the board
3: If an opponent matches one of the strike tiles, they are stunned for 1 turn
4: As long as one of Paste-Pot Pete’s defense tiles is on the board, he is immune to stun
5: If an opponent matches one of the strike tiles, they are stunned for 2 turns

During the event there will be a special 5-pack cover special that costs 250 HP that promises at least one Paste-Pot Pete and one Bag Man cover. Not a single person will buy it.

Exactly one week later the developers will have another event called All Gummed Up! (the sequel) where they will introduce ‘The Trapster’, a 2* variant of Paste-Pot Pete. Exactly one week after that MPQ will fold up because every single player will have quit the game.

14

Sudden Death

When a character dies during a match, they are eliminated from your team for the remainder of the tournament.

15

Maximum Overdrive

Required Character: None

Characters Usable: All

Boosted: All to Level 230.

Rules: All characters are boosted to Level 230 equivalents. Characters with non-scaling skills or fixed base damage (IM35) would be adjusted accordingly.

Probably end up being a Spider-man/Venom/Punisher fest, but still.

Small Soldiers

Required Character: None

Characters Usable: All

Boosted: None

Rules: All characters are debuffed to Level 40 equivalents. Characters with non-scaling skills or fixed base damage (IM35) would be adjusted accordingly.

Super Humans

Required Character: None

Characters Usable: Black Panther, Black Widow (Modern), Black Widow (Grey Suit), Black Widow (Original), Bullseye, Iron Man MK35, Iron Man MK40, Punisher, Daredevil, Hawkeye (Modern), Hawkeye (Classic), Yelena Belova

Boosted: None

Rules: Non-superhuman characters only.

Mutant Apocalypse

Required Character: None

Characters Usable: Psylocke, Storm (Modern), Storm (Classic), Daken, Wolverine (Astonishing), Wolverine (Patch), Wolverine (X-Force), Magneto (NOW), Magneto (Classic)

Boosted: None

Rules: Mutant characters only.

Probably better to wait on something like this until we get a few more mutant characters. Emma Frost, Cyclops, Mr. Sinister, etc. would be nice.

16

All Black Widows

No Boosts

3-Stock Final Destination

17

Those are all pretty good ideas, Leon.

You might be right about needing a few more mutants before doing a mutants only tournament.

18

No buffs, 2 hour total format (90 minutes + 30 minute break). Each round, the top 3 most overused hero is eliminated in the next tournament and this process is cumulative. I counted 36 heroes based on the character compendium, so by the 12th round there should be exactly only 3 heroes left that can be used. There should be some rather interesting team halfway through such a tournament.

Alternatively this can be done on the individual basis. Pick your 3 heroes and you’re locked into those 3 heroes for the rest of that round. At the next round those 3 heroes are eliminated from your roster for the next round.

Alliance combo idea. Each round, in the prep period, each member of alliance submits 3 character they’ll be locked into using for the next LR. At the end of the LR round, the alliance’s 3 most commonly used character will be eliminated from the roster the next round. This will be repeated 12 rounds and the alliance score is the sum total of all members in all rounds put together. This means you’d need to figure out how to coordinate your teams if you want to be competitive in multiple rounds, because if everyone just rolls with Spiderman/Punisher/Whoever, you’ll be missing half of your firepower after the first round and that could adversely affect your ability to do well.

19

Norse vs Greek, 1 hour long
Buffs: to the average level of 100.
You choose either Thor** or Ares and duke it out against enemy teams containing either with your choice hero. The overall points of Thor/Ares teams are calculated, averaged, and those who chose well get better prizes.
I just can’t think of more similar heroes of the same range. Punisher/Psylocke maybe. I’d call it Guns vs Swords.

For once I really like Phantron’s idea of elimination style PvP. It would be pretty hard to make but fun to see.

Shielded Lightning Rounds

Now I call this lightning rounds because the most important thing is to beat enemies fast. Everyone is shielded and doesn’t lose any points after attacked. Keeping the shield is costly so an entrance fee of 25hp required.
