shaq-of-all-trades, This is not a writin
g chat, so it doesn't matter if I spell right or not.
if your character is "overpowered", you can both find a way to balance it, like a injection that partly disables someones powers.
come on guys, it's about having fun and fantazising, not really based on rules.
and as my signature says, I still have a lot to learn in grammar.[/QUOTE
OK, the problem with that is simple. In writing, you need a solid plot/story to each battle that actually makes sense, those with stronger stories tend to get more points in the eyes of the reader. Because of how short most battle are, "story" kind of takes in all writing styles and choreography, from location of the battle to the positions the gladiators are standing in. For example, you'll notice in John Doe versus Kyra, one of my favorite battles, the characters have met before and it was carried over as well as their pasts and their previous interactions. When that was brought together, it made for an interesting and it was coupled with good writing both parts (they were both fantastic stories, so take your pick of which I am talking about) and the narrative was based off their dialogue and their surroundings.
There is a certain level of realism that is required to make both a convincing and interesting story. For example, the first gladiator I deemed to be overpowered was Battlefield. I forget who made him, but it was essentially a gigantic robot that could spawn a whole army of full trained soldiers whose abilities individually matched that of my personal gladiator at the time, Agent Daggerhands. There was no possible way in hell that Daggerhands could have taken down Battlefield, with over a hundred of him fighting back.
The only real way of doing it would be to call in some tactical nuke or plant a bomb or something along those lines. Maybe Daggerhands came across a virus or something. While it may be possible for someone to write it into their story, it restricts what the writer can do immensely because they have to write a forced plot point into a short story, making it heavily unfair on the side who has to breach their character's powers and personality to do so.
Chances are you won't be able to do it.
