(He did a batman!) this seems alot like feruchemical steel Under Ruin influency he should know about compounding. Maybe you are right about disappear, but I still think we didn't see use f-steel in WoA or HoA, he could use iron/steel with duralumin, that could send him pretty far, pretty fast.

Toaster Retribution Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Even if I misremember about Marshs fight scene with Sazed, I think it likely that he has F-steel. Ruin picked him as his main Inquisitor, and had a lot of Feruchemical spikes around. I doubt that he decided not to grant Marsh the power. I wish I had my copy of WoR, but it is sadly in Poland, and I am in Sweden... anyway, @Calderis, I apologize for (maybe) accidentally misleading you about the fight with Sazed. Seems like you might need to edit your post again :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 @Toaster Retribution no worries. I'd already started leading myself down that path anyway. It's not like this is anything more than fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohadon Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 there is a small problem, however, we need one more fight for the tournament, as the brackets are unbalanced right now (preferably 3 more fights to get it to 16 but beggars can't be choosers) so I'll create a fight. Lyaltil from scadrial (Mentioned by someone i have unfortunately forgotten) Vs Zane (A character i was going to enter until i thought of elend) the winner of this fight will fight the winner of Kelsier Vs Elend Also know that hemalurgy CAN steal a nahel bond, but the person has to either deal with a very annoying spren, or won't recieve the surges unless compatible. but in the pretence of a death battle tournament, we'll go with the former and say that hemalurigsts like marsh and zane can steal surgebinding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally you'd need knowledge of the correct bind points to steal the bond, and at this point in time, we know of no one with the knowledge to take non-scadrian abilities.

Toaster Retribution Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Arclo vs Raoden: I am inclined to give this too Raoden. He can teleport to avoid the cremlings, and fire should be effective against them. Marsh vs Vin: Marsh with a shardblade and maybe steel compounding would stomp Vin.

Agree with everything, Raoden could burn Arclo's cremlings, Vin has no chance against an almost full compuonder with a shardblade, and Zane needs a spike to do what kelsier can do on his own.

Taliax Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I don't think Marsh necessarily has to steal the bond, couldn't he take the shardblade once Jasnah dies anyway? ( not sure if that's how it works for living spren or not.) I agree with Marsh, Roaden, and Kelsier being the winners for the reasons already stated. Sorry Vin. I think if Marsh doesn't have the shardblade, he still wins because of the healing factor and because she only beat him in the first place with the mists.

Oh okay, thanks C: I think Marsh would still win, but I don't think he knows enough to steal a Nahel bond and get a shardblade. I just think F-steel plus F-gold wins it for him.

Calderis Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Arclo vs. Raoden: the end events of Elantris imply a pretty ridiculous healing ability for Elantrians, so I'll have to agree with what's been said already and give it to Raoden. Even if he can't fully avoid damage, fires going to be a good bet against Arclo and we've seen Elantrians heal from burns, so he doesn't need to be discriminatory. Winner: Raoden Marsh vs Vin: I'm undecided. Without knowing for sure what abilities Marsh has I can't just hand it to him. He probably has F-gold, but I doubt he's a Compounder there. Unless Ruin gave it to him, inquisitors had no need of A-gold. The F-Steel question is what decides it. If he doesn't have it, Vin knows how to kill inquisitors, and has taken them out herself before. The only time she was pressed hard she had what, 11 of them on her? Including Marsh? If he has F-Steel he wins, if not, Vin all the way. Winner: Vin, Marsh, per @Toaster Retribution's confirmation of F-Steel from HoA Zane Vs. Kelsier: no question Kel. He's devious without being unshakeable. They both use tricks, they're both reckless, but Zane has far worse judgement. Winner: Kelsier.

cloudjumper Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Arclo vs Raoden: Raoden has fire, teleports, and heals, whereas Arclo has fryable bugs and stuff. Marsh vs Vin: Marsh wins. Even though Vin does have some experience fighting Inquisitors, the time where she destroys a bunch of them is because she draws upon the mist. Assuming she doesn't get influence from Preservation's power or anything this time, Marsh has some Feruchemy and also Allomancy so Marsh wins. Zane vs Kelsier: Zane has a lot of raw power, but Kelsier is devious and has more control and skill. Still, it's not like Zane doesn't have any skill at all, and I think just the power factor alone might be enough to tip it in his favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowmancer Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Arclo vs Raoden: I'm not so quick to give it to Raoden here. For one thing, we have no idea how old Arclo is, and from the spoilers we've seen from Oathbringer ... well, it appears that the Sleepless have more than just one trick up their sleeve. He has no doubt survived much of his long life by avoiding attention where possible, but he's given the throwdown on two Skybreakers at once. That said, here's how I think it plays out. They confront each other, and Raoden goes Aons-berserk on Arclo, who promply splits himself into his hoardlings (we assume to kill Raoden). Before we say that Raoden can't possibly be hurt, remember he had a hard time healing himself once he was injured (by a simple knife, mind you, not some potentially-Invested hoards of cremlings specialized to do Domi-knows-what to people Arclo doesn't like), whereas our Sleepless friend took out two Radiants with one of the most over-powered regen bonuses since Gandalf got sent back from the doors of death with a staff upgrade. They didn't have to draw out any sort of Aon to heal themselves, they literally only had to breath in. So did his hoadlings just overload their healing abilities (which I find unlikely), or ... did they suck out their Investiture? Ponder on that. We've already established there is an animal on Roshar that eats Potential Investiture (I believe it's not Kinetic when a Radiant is holding it in, right?). Is it so hard to imagine that a Sleepless might have hoardlings in their employ to combat the Radiants? Even if they aren't able to suck out Raoden's innate resurrection investiture (which I know far too little about for my liking, to be honest) then they certainly would go after his Aons. If Raoden can't fry them or teleport away fast enough before the first wave hits him, then he's completely at the mercy of those bugs. However, we've established that Raoden is fast. Given that, I think he manages to avoid the attacks from the bugs and deals the death blow to Arclo (if such a thing is truly possible, because again, we don't know quite enough about his nature or abilities). Winner: Raoden. Marsh vs Vin: guys, I don't even have to tell you what happened the last time Vin went against Marsh. She beat him. Soundly. And that was with Marsh fighting against Ati who was forcing him to kill her in the first place. Plus, the last time he was using F-steel it still didn't seem to do him much good. So if we assume that Marsh has the same number of spikes as the last time he faced her down, and assuming they both have equal amounts of metals, I can't see this going very well for him. Except for if he has Soulcasting or a Shardblade. Those would be tricky. But Vin has faced down unique and new threats on the fly before. She is smart. And she is strong. She is a natural Mistborn, and Marsh is a patchwork job. Stealing powers makes you strong, but not skilled. No matter what time frame we put him in, I think Vin is going to beat him in an all-out battle. That said, if he can Leech her reserves and get a lucky strike with the Shardblade (which, if she's burning Pewter, would she be Invested enough to block the blade, or is that not how Shardblades work and am I just a babbling cretin?) then he would be able to take her out. But Vin (assuming we bring her back from the dead) has held the powers of creation and used them to fuel someone else's Allowmancy before. And she's curious. Give her the metal reserves, she's going to burn them and find out what they do. Maybe not fast enough to counter all of Marsh's assaults, but enough to land a decisive, finishing blow and pull out that last eye-spike or the linchpin spike. All in all, Vin is a killing machine. And she has an uncanny knack of winning even when she shouldn't. I just have to give this to her. Winner: Vin. Zane vs Kelsier: Again, Allowmancy is about the dirty tricks. Zane is strong, but Kelsier isn't kandra-crap insane with a spike through his chest, so he's got that going for him right off the bat. Kelsier isn't cheap in the power department either. He killed a rusting Inquisitor. He's faced legions of Hazekillers. Zane? He's manipulated Vin and shot a few men with come coins. Yes, he did lay waste to Cett's soldiers, but that was with Atium. He won't have the edge this time. Given what I've seen of Kelsier (smart, cool, collected, not entirely crazy, and incredibly devious) and what I've seen of Zane (creepy, conniving, backstabbing, very entirely crazy) it seems obvious to me that Zane doesn't stand a chance. He's a strong Mistborn, but strong doesn't cut it in Allowmancy. Smart does. Winner: Kelsier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliax Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 @Shadowmancer You make a good point about Vin, considering also that hemalurgy's stolen powers are at least slightly weaker than the original. I think the reason I keep thinking Marsh has F-steel is because an Inquisitor qt the beginning of HoA had it, and I expected Marsh to have every power the other Inquisitors did. If he doesn't have that or a shardblade, Vin could win. I think she did actually defeat most of the Inquisitors in HoA before drawing on the mist, because she couldn't do that until Marsh ripped out her earring. The fact that Marsh has a known weakness in the linchpin spike does increase her chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) @Calderis @Taliax Just looked in HoA. Marsh has F-speed. He uses it against Goradel. Flash-Marsh confirmed.

After all, she did beat Zane when he was using atium. She could potentially wear out his speed through trickery, not sure though. I'm kind of just throwing out stuff on both sides now.

Nohadon Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) sorry ive been gone! i was busy with a memorial service for my father (please dont give me condolenses or apologies, ive had enough of that), i'm back now though! so here are the winners Roaden beats out arclo due to teleportation, fire and healing Marsh F-Steel blitzes vin. here's the tough one, Zane vs Kelsier, im going to give it to Zane seeing how his spike gives him more steelpushing power. Here are the next fights, shoutout to @Toaster Retribution for confirming F-Steel marsh. Its going to be Raoden vs Zane and marsh gets a buy-in to the finals seeing how he looks like the most powerful right now additionally, the winner of this entire tournament will fight against obliteration. I probably should mention that zane spiked both lyaltil and kelsier, gaining more allomatic power ( i dont know lylaltl's powers so im assuming just pewter and steel, them being the most viable (allomaatic)) Edited August 15, 2017 by Nohadon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
