Ralton vs. Torture

HighSlayerRalton vs. Torture-Dancer

As Ralton submitted a 3rd response with the awareness that it wouldn't be one that Torture could be expected to respond to, his 3rd response is forfeit. This will be judged as a 2-2 match.

Veronica Lodge vs. Indominus Rex: Torture wins. While this isn’t something i’d put on either debater, I’m disappointed this round ended with out of tiers, because the debating on both sides had me engaged throughout. Thus, while Torture wins this match due to Veronica being out of tier, I’m going to go on record saying that I would have had Veronica winning handily had the crossbow feat not been used.

Bronze Tiger vs. Ezio: Ralton wins here. Bronze Tiger seems to functionally have an answer for everything Ezio could throw his way. His skill is very clearly superior, he’s cleanly faster, and able to overwhelm what i’ve been convinced is subpar durability on Ezio’s part. To win, Ezio would need to reach his spawn first, avoid melee indefinitely, and force Tiger into making a stupid NPC mistake, whereas Tiger can win by engaging melee. Tiger should win far more reliably than not.

Blake Belladonna vs. Jonathan Joestar: Ralton wins this matchup. Jonathan doesn’t have a counter for stealth, his speed is inferior, he lacks relevant durability. Blake can take him out without needing to engage with his strength, Jonathan's one ability that could potentially be useful here, "hamon", is largely unquantified in round.
