Yo soy tu muerte!!!

Nothing stops GBS not even the icey cold and snow as 10 brave warriors showed up to play despite the arctic conditions. While the bracket may have been small the competition was fierce, providing plenty of salt to sprinkle on the sidewalk of GGA. It ultimately came down to a repeat of last week's grand finals, with two of Batman's greatest foes appropriately squaring off in stately Wayne Manor. Max's Bane and my Catwoman had a hard fought, tears fueled reset into a second series with Max taking the win, earning his 5th GBS championship and winning back to back GBS right after I had won #17 and #18 back to back. Who can stop these two, with their venom enhanced muscles and irresistible feminine wiles?


After missing last week's GBS and Frosty Faustings due to family obligations(his real family not the mafia) the slippery Slips returned with a strong 3rd place showing, narrowly losing to Catwoman in winners and losers finals and winning a close set against housemate Jeremiah.

Saucy Jack said goodbye to Green Arrow at Frosty Faustings but did not return to Doomsday for GBS. He instead has decided to quit being a character loyalist and embrace his inner Mokuken and play a team of characters much like PPJ. To start this experiment off he used Wonder Woman against Max and Harley Quinn against PPJ's Joker in the most canon match of the night.

The biggest hype of the night belonged to the Pantychrist, who was seemingly locked in eternal battle with Cyborg tonight. First Saucy Jack started off with Cyborg and then in losers HAN used the robotic combatant against the lingerie messiah. Both sets came down to the wire and Pantychrist proved he could indeed mess with the best...almost.

Thanks as usual to all those who support GGA by watching the stream live or the archives later. Big props to the die hards who drove in the crappy weather to play and shout outs to the regulars who stayed home but hung out in the stream chat. This was week 7 of season 2. That means we are now exactly halfway in.

This mean you don't like me?
Really hype matches, congrats to Max. 16bit should not be disappointed in his showing, however; resetting the bracket and providing some of the hyper matches with Max. Shout outs to super in between Joker's strings. That AI tech should not be undermined.

If you guys had a snowstorm as bad as the one we have in NE, I'm guessing Tony's was not an option.

Tony's was available as usual. There wasn't much more salt than what you could see next to the pepper on the table. I can't speak for what happened after I left though.

I am not that salty at Tony's if I lost but got top 3. Only some mild Bane tears.

Truth, justice and the American way.
I think the worst thing about fighting Bane players, at least from my experience with @BiPolarExpress - is this:

Bane doesn't give a fuck about frames.
Bane doesn't give a fuck about positioning.
Bane doesn't give a fuck about meter.
Bane doesn't give a fuck about you.

Bane players live their lives one level 3 venom at a time. Nothing else matters.

Frames know nothing of strength.
I'll have to argue the positioning though, it's all positioning for Bane.
And Bane does care about you, can you not see that loving embrace?


Sadly Nightwing has to lame out that entire matchup.

Good job Maxintensity25 GGA 16 Bit , you guys never disappoint.
I always feel so smart whenever I see Max reset his venom cooldown from 3 to 1 (never on purpose) and think to myself "Well, there goes level 3 debuff!" Always feels like I'm the only one in the chat who knows whats going on :p
