(2) Negative Zone vs. (4) The Universal Church of Truth
The UCT got to move first and they took advantage of it. Magus perched on the edge of a roof while the rest of the UCT engaged Blastaar, Ravenous, and the Annihilation Seekers in melee. Magus's sniping, though, wasn't as much of an edge as I thought it would be, and the beasts of the Negative Zone wiped out everyone on the ground and then came after Magus. It eventually looked like this:
It could only have been worse for Magus if I had accidentally dropped a bowling ball on him.
Amazingly, Magus once again lasted longer than expected! He took out Ravenous and an Annihilation Seeker before another Seeker rolled a Critical Hit that knocked him back and silly. Blastaar finished the job with just 2 minutes left. Theoretically, had the Seeker not landed the Crit, Magus might have won on time again! Still, Negative Zone wins.
My final thoughts on timed solo play:
- There was no iced coffee at my side or opera playing in the background. I was ON at all times because every second mattered! Focus, focus, focus! A truly different solo experience, and one that I would want to duplicate again, but not necessarily that often. (By nature, I chill.)
- As time wound down, I actually went into panic mode - panic without an opponent! It was like I didn't want to let down any team that lost on time. Panic mode was cool - kind of a novelty emotion during solo play, really - again, something that can spice up a solo session, but not one I'd like all the time.
- I got to play a lot more games! In this case, quantity was a little better than quality because I had a lot of new pieces that I wanted to see in action, and I got that by keeping to time.
- Even though I played both sides (with variable limited control), I did feel like I was playing in a real tournament! My other solo Heroclix games never felt like that before. It was good to be able to replicate that competitive feeling even though my opponent was me.
