Flashbang vs. Paragon

This was a very tough debate for me to decide on, both debaters made persuasive points.  On Mikhail's side he made good points that Flashbang is essentially a psuedo-character, with no real indication of character and minimal detail on the nuances on how their power functions.  Equally valid points from PoB persuaded me that Flashbang's powers can easily incap Paragon before he reaches Flashbang.  His argument about sound was especially convincing as that nullified a number of Mik's defenses against Flashbang's attacks (i.e. her lack of aim, nearby cover, etc).

The deciding factor for this debate boiled down, for me, to if Flashbang would use their power or not before Paragon reached them.  If Paragon reaches them Mik argued persuasively Flashbang would lose.  In the end I give it to Mik by a hair.  While I agree with PoB that Flashbang does want to win, we have no way to know how that manifests.  Mik placed significant enough doubt on their characterization for me to confidently buy PoB's win condition.

Winner: Paragon/Mikhail

Rover vs. DuraBelle

Very quickly into this debate, the focus shifted into the validity of PoB's win conditions for Rover and if Rover would do what PoB describes.  While other arguments like if DuraBelle count tank Rover's attacks persisted for most of the discussion, the in character was the main focus of the debate.  Ignoring that part of the debate for a moment, I will say I agree with PoB that Rover is capable and competent enough to hurt and possibly beat DuraBelle.  PoB's better understanding of how Metaverse really showed in this area of the debate.

On that note however, his core and only win con required a set of fairly specific actions that Rover wasn't shown to have sufficient evidence of doing. Mik tore through most arguments that PoB sent his way, convincing me that there is a significant amount of iffiness if Rover does as PoB described.  With this in mind, DuraBelle wins.

Winner: DuraBelle/Mikhail
