Reasons for Movement:
Every Sunday night on the Indomitable server, at 5pm EDT / 2pm PDT, we run a Fightclub Event. Fightclub is melee vs melee PVP where moving/retreating is not allowed. It's the most min/max thing you can do in City of Heroes, and is something only the best melee players stand any chance of surviving...let alone winning! 

 

Each event lasts for four 15-minute rounds. Everyone fights four. And all participants wins/losses/draws are recorded in the leaderboard, hereRanking is based on ELO score.

Alouu and Kencian shooting up the list! (and magecow as a new entry!)

 

And...uh...a certain American superheroine no longer on the list...:classic_dry:

 

Reasons for movement:

The rankings change was due to a Beginner's Fightclub event we ran on Everlasting this past weekend. We usually do a beginner's event once a month as a chance for new players who aren't familiar with Fightclub PVP to jump in and try it out. Experienced players always show up, too. And we do our best to pair up beginners with other beginners, and experienced players with other experienced players. This week we had 6 of each show up, so we ran two separate brackets. Newcomer magecow demolished everyone he came up against. Definitely one to watch!

Reasons for movement:

Sunday's Fightclub event on Indomitable saw my DM/EA scrapper and Mushroom's Kat/Nin Scrapper both do well. What's interesting is last week the top spots were Rad Armour characters, and this week it was defense-based characters. (And in both weeks, Alouu's Dm/EA Brute also did well.) All of this makes me wonder if Regen's reputation at the #1 armour set for PvP is coming to an end...

Reasons for movement:

No real movement this week apart from T Mart jumping into the top 10 thanks to a 4-0 clean sweep of all four ranked rounds at Sunday's Fightclub Event. Remember what I said last week about Regen possibly not being the top armour set anymore? Turns out that's not the case. T Mart's Claws/Regen is a beast.

 

Speaking of Sunday's Fightclub event, this week we had an "Off Meta" ruleset (Players were able to bring non-melee characters, as long as they fought with them in melee range.) Madvillain's Illusion/Poison was seriously dangerous - it melted nearly everything it touched!

Ridicc is based in France. So he's a rare sight at our events due to them starting at 11pm his time. His EM/Regen is not to be messed with! (As I and several other Fightclubbers found out!)

Who's going to be the first to drop him?

Yeah we do it quite early because I'm based in the UK, and we have a bunch of Europeans who also like to Fightclub.

 

That said, I'm working on something for people who can't make our weekly events. Stay tuned. :classic_biggrin:

We ran another Fightclub tournament tonight. We had to do it on Excelsior because the arena isn't working on Indomitable right now. Turned out to be a mixed blessing...we had a great turnout! We discovered that Excelsior has its own little Fightclub community forming! Was an absolute highlight Fightclubbing with so many new faces. (Also gave me a chance to try out my new EM/EA scrapper against a range of opponents. So far so good!)

 

It wasn't just violence, though. Here's some of the participants chilling in Pocket D before the matchups.

We ran another Fightclub event tonight. Back on our home server of Indomitable! I brought my new Em/EA scrapper, Pink Guardian, out to play again. It went well, had some hard fights but managed to pull through like I did last week.

 

Until I faced him.

some tolerance. mjb's MA/Stone Brute.

Seeing your beloved new toon kicked to death by a stone brute with lava feet... :classic_laugh:

 

mjb went on to win the event. The second time he's done that. (And rocket back up the leaderboard back into the top 10!)

 

Was a great time. Excited for next week!

We've actually had a new influx of people to the Fightclub discord from Excelsior since our event last week. Going to have a think about organizing some mid-week stuff for them, too...watch this space.
