My thoughts are that this is a throw-away non-canon first experience, and worrying too much about balance in a situation that won't likely ever come up again is probably slowing us down. I mean, unless we will have heroes claiming nodes in the actual game, anyway.
Heh. Also, the faster person helping the slower person sounds nice, except for teleportation. I mean, flying someone five pages in one turn makes sense, and it makes sense that they couldn't then just keep running for the rest of their movement, but if they are instantly teleported five pages...
For the upcoming match, I don't know. Sidestep could probably get past some of Cyclone's defenses, or fight Dino Might. Krull would be a challenge, but Tide Huntress can fight him. Tsunami and Surge can both change forms, so that makes things difficult unless someone else has a way to hit...
Yeah, I was thinking Tide Huntress would be best against Krull. Squid vs squid.
For Sidestep, his main power is Teleportation. It's just a travel power, but it has Imbue, so he can send people around too. I think that should be able to be used as offensive teleportation? The Blink power can...
Sidestep stuck his tongue out at Timber, without taking his eyes from the screen. "You may as well go, Zei. It looks like I won't be able to show you how to play until we get this tournament out of the way," he commented, wryly.
Tossing some Hot Tamales at the remaining soldiers, Sidestep...
"Hey, who says this is fake?" Sidestep asks, only semi-rhetorically. "This is training! And who knows, with Powers like they are... But yeah, humans fight for fun. All. The. Time." he continues, sending more candy warriors to their ignoble deaths in hopes of taking some strategic...
Sidestep lounged on a sofa in Timber's base, using his high-tech screens and equipment to play Candy Zombie Smash Brothers against random opponents. Or possibly Mother, he really had no idea.
Either way, sending wave after wave of Cotton-Candy-Chainsaw-Mokeys into enemy armies of Tin...
That doesn't really hinder him as much as it sounds like it would, since he does have other powers. Although now I am imagining a flyer with super speed carefully walking as slowly as possible back towards his base...
