Because I can't edit: The problem with KB's character would be - seemingly - that he's physically a powerhouse while also having a fairly broad set of techniques, while ALSO not having any sort of noticeable drawbacks, nor a "charge system" to speak of.
Because "Generic vampire weaknesses" only cover his vampiric strengths - effective immortality, regeneration, being able to sustain huge amounts of damage. They don't really fit the bill of acting as drawbacks or balances to his character's specific techniques that he has in his profile.
At least, that's the gist I got from what has been brought up about his profile. Which, of course - again - isn't really his fault. Yeah, he entered the profile, but the point is it could have been - should have been - trimmed and cut where needed, or revised, to provide the necessary balance. If that didn't happen, I can't really blame him for getting in with that s**t.

Lollipop Fiend I've talked about people using abilities that they had as they were said they could be used being counted as spamming before, so it kind of makes me wonder if characters who have to rely on their abilities more because well, they're not hulks in a world of hulks, are at an inherent disadvantage, HM =( And it makes me wonder about some of my own abilities since our characters have a lot of similarities KB, but I haven't been told anything yet about their current status. I'd honestly prefer to be told something needs to be taken out now before I go on and use it and then get reamed for it because it's supposedly against the rules that aren't listed under the actual rules thread, or the judges thought something is OP but comments weren't available to even know that and nobody has contacted me to adjust accordingly. ARGH Hm. Well, lass, you're right. Props.

I understand there needing to be a balance for the characters, but even then it still feels like there is a lot of pressure on characters who might be proficient at melee combat but better at using magic/abilities to rely more on using their weaker point. I guess because people feel powers aren't exactly fair or entertaining.
But I guess right now my primary concern is getting a clear ruling on what is and isn't allowed before being docked heavily in judging because I simply didn't know and just assumed it was cool because it was allowed in my initial profile.

I don't see a problem with characters relying on powers if that's their entire idea, as long as the powers/abilities are balanced, and it's played well.
It's like if someone entered a mage.. I'm not going to deck a mage points for not going Shaolin Monk with their staff.. they're supposed to cast spells and s**t. Doesn't mean they should cast "FEAR IMMOLATE FEAR IMMOLATE FEAR IMMOLATE" a million times over until they win, but it means that they should have more room to sling around their spells than, say, your traditionally styled Gaia character.
Same thing applies across the board to different characters that fit the bill of being "squishy ability users."
You're trading in power and versatility, and in return you're giving up the ability to deal damage in more mundane/gritty fashions, and usually, the ability to take damage.
It'd be like decking a martial artist points for not being flashy with power usage when their power (which is likely passive) isn't flashy at all in and of itself. It's HERP DERP retarded. Any mix of ability-reliance and physical ability comes down to balance and how it's ******** this, I'm gonna go read Harry Potter >:/

i don't know who the ******** half of the people in the tournament are.
and ******** PEOPLE BITCHING ABOUT POWERS.
My character has no powers whatsoever beyond that he thinks fast and moves faster than a human (but not by too much) and is as strong as a pretty good bodybuilder.
My opponent had the ability to throw spears, copy them indiscriminately, make them unable to miss my character by essentially making them homing missiles, conjure shields out of nowhere, conjure a barrier that would completely cover the area around him out of nowhere, etc.
I exploited all of the weaknesses of his abilities and won because I was smart enough to not fall victim to dumbassery like everyone who bitches about 'losing to an OP character'.
s**t, I could probably beat KB with my fairly weakened Krausse as long as i'm not a dumbass

No offense to Vansin,
KB says:
Yeah, but I got hit by EVERY flash grenade. He wasn't touched by them, at point-blank explosion.
The says:
He guarded his eyes, dood
KB says:
How?
The says:
Could have sworn he closed them or some s**t
But this is the ******** s**t I'm dealing with.

I was illustrating a point, that point is:
If Vansin doesn't understand the mechanics of a flashbang grenade, Vintrict sure as ******** doesn't.

I got that from a friend's facebook page. I have them too, even Testament's. I'm just lacking Slayer's for some reason. I only have Reign In Blood. But my Anthrax discography goes as far as the first 4 album's (pretty much cause I chose to). What I'm looking for now is Exodus's.
