2017 ROC U.S. Cup Main Event Results (additional)

Analysis

Finals – Kevin vs Aaron

The new 300pt ROC Age format was full of great teams, and very powerful ones at that.  That is to be expected with a much larger pool of figures to choose from.  A few players with a 4-2 record made the cut to the Top 8, but there were three other players that just missed the cut, though they also had 4-2 records.  They are also included so you can see what all the top teams were comprised of.  As you can see, plenty of different resources (and one without!) were played.  Here is the breakdown: 2 Book of the Skull, 2 Green Power Battery, 1 each of Indigo, Red, and Blue Power Battery, 1 Phoenix Force, 1 Utility Belt, and 1 Quinjet resource.  That’s a pretty diverse group.  You can also see some of the older figures being played, mixed in with the newer figures.  Shredders, Mistress Death, Goblin King, and Nick Fury are Modern staples, and some older favorites like Quinjet, Highfather, Shuma Gorth, Mole Man, and Shriek were also played.  Some of the off-shoots were the Mousers Swarm, Pride, Mr. Freeze (60s), Hope Summers and Airstrike Ross.  On the entity front, it didn’t look like there were that many, with Parallax and Proselyte being played, along with Ion.  With the new rules, some of this will change, but not much.  With the new rules allowing Special Objects with Resources, it will be interesting to see what more craziness can from from this.
