A Mess

RWBY OC TOURNAMENT ROUND 1 RESULTS

The following are the results after Round 1 of the tournament - the following rounds will most likely be calculated tomorrow when I have free time!

It’s highly likely that I will have seperate smaller tournaments for each of the class groups at a later date in addition to this large all-inclusive tournament.

tags and mentions under the cut:

So, the Vytal Tournament ended horrible, so we’re not going to talk about that.

Instead, I’m going to start a whole NEW OC Tournament, and have it more based on our OCs fighting skills and abilities, so it’s fair for everyone. Using Math..! (hiss-!)

Use this simple form in Paint or the coloring program of your choice and fill out your OC team’s skills and abilities. You have 45 points (plus some bonus points available based on the age of your OC team) to allocate into the different skills of your OCs. I included a sample form using team RWBY, but here’s another sample using MY OC Team, Team SNST:

Once your done, use THIS GOOGLE FORM to submit your OC Team to the Battle Statistics database! I’ll be closing the Form Submissions next week, ON OCTOBER 5TH, and once I close submissions, the tournament match-ups will be decided with a random number generator. But you won’t have to wait to know who won, because I’ll be able to find out who wins pretty instantly, depending on how many match-ups I have to go through.

Please read and answer each question very carefully, if there’s something the matter with your submission, I’ll do my best to contact you so you can fix the issue, but otherwise I’ll have to disqualify your entry until you can fix the issues.

Team VCTA Volume 4 Weapon Upgrade Sketches: Balder’s Unicornio Volume For Updates: Link Better Resolution: A / B

 Forms: Jousting Lance | Spear | Gatling Gun

Lance: The Greaves Balder wears are equipped with a special mechanism that creates the tangible hologram of a wheel, allowing him to move as in a mount/chariot. Combining his weapon and greaves, Balder can charge at enemies, knocking them around and running them through with great force.

Spear: Mode focused on flexibility rather than power. In this form, the weapon is easier to swing and maneuver, allowing the user a more diverse fighting style, instead of the previous “Charge!” one.
