    That would be amusing to see, yeah. Battleboard culture (or whatever one wishes to name it) has spread out a little bit into the net, I figure.

    I mean, there's a LOT of places that do it, not just the big names. I remember seeing a LOTR forum where they were discussing character fights some years back (and spotted a well-known exaggerator of feats there amusingly enough). I originally got HERE because I was on the old DC Forums after finding Batgirl, and they had people putting up threads discussing fights between characters all over the place. And one of the old posters from Rumbles was there...ugh, I can't remember his name now, we're talking fifteen years ago...he PMed me saying 'Hey, if you're interested there's a place where we discuss these things with RULES...'

    And I arrived here.

    I figure it gets around, even now. Saw some discussion of it on Tumblr, even, and Jcogginsa (which was a surprise)) hopping in to make a comment on a Cassandra Cain post where people were discussing her capabilities (non-Rumbles-people, just character fans). Amusing.

    Worth noting that "Jobbing" isn't rumbles original. It comes from Wrestling

    Oh for sure. It's just funny bc I would see someone making Rumbles types gestures in a nonrelated thread, and then they are buried by a landslide of people talking about how Superman from another timeline moved the universe or something once.

    Obviously its a different forum and I'm not invested in it so I just get amused and move on.

    There's a simple solution for that.

    Oh yea, that piece of **** lady.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    The villain introduced in the latest episode of Re:Zero, Pandora, is OP in a kind of way that I've always wanted to see in a character.

    spoilers:
    She gets hit and takes damage just like anybody else, but then she just pops up again with no injuries. Even getting shredded into red mist did effectively nothing to her. And then she doesn't really do much beyond talking while everybody tries to murder her.
    end of spoilers

    It was unsettling and awesome to see. I'm really looking forward to seeing more from her and what her limits are.

    Well, considering that spoilers:
    her Witch factor allows her to rewrite reality however she pleases, including her death as long as she's able to think
    end of spoilers, yeah she's pretty broken.
