Palatinus' OverPower Forum

So, a_noble_kaz was reminiscing about a killer play that he had, where he used Cyclops to kill an unsuspecting Hulk in 2 turns. Hulk had an 8S placed. He started with Widebeam (7F AR), hoping to fish the Power card off. Instead, Hulk took the hit, figuring he's still winning Venture and he could block anything lethal with the 8. Cyke followed up with Remove Visor (6E BO) combined with a 7E Power card. Hit 20 on the nose and KO'd Hulk while he had an 8S placed... Killer

That got us thinking... who else can KO some one with just 2 turns? Thor has a 12F+8M, and Deadpool has a 10F+(4E+7F)... Then I realized that, through the use of combines, LOTS of people can Spectrum KO in 2 turns (part of the reason combines are so deadly!)...

Then I was thinking, "Who can KO some one in a single turn?"

The list is surprisingly long, but I realized that there were actually 2 people in the Original release that could KO some one in a single turn! Both Psylocke & Thor had the AE combines with E/S, which means you could lead with Death From Above for a single turn KO.

What I found really interesting, though, is how close Gambit got to doing it by himself, without an Any Hero. The reason he misses? Because his AA has the stipulation that the follow up must be made "against a different opponent" In fact, when I was looking into it, there were several people that could almost do it, but the icons didn't match up, or the target had to shift.

Does anyone know if this was intentional? Was Gambit nerf'd?

^{BTW, with a little luck, Domino could kill 2.75 people in 1 turn!}

I'd love to hear how Domino could pull that off.

Using 3-stat Domino (3-8-3)
with her Shrapnel Bomb placed (BV)
draw 8f, 7f, 6f, 5f, 4m, 3m, 2s, 1s

1S + 4M + 5F = KO 1
2S + 3M + 6F = KO 2
7F + 8F          = KO 2.75!

I'm not sure how you could convince your opponent to not block any of this, but it's still possible 

LOL  Yeah, I guess if you God-Hand it, it's possible.  lol

There have been plenty of turns when I've drawn a perfect Power Card 1-8, once I'm in the Power Pack. I suppose the real trick would be to save the BV all the way until then. But hey, I think I did a pretty good job of implying that it may take her level of luck! lol
