The discovery phase. I don't agree with the three GM thing because it was less "let's argue with eachother about which way makes it balanced," and more "I review it, then you review it, then you review it." Each review notices different things and balances those things. They don't really need to argue or interfere with another much aside from conferring somewhat.

That's a fair point. Hmmm.
To be fair the two of you have been working together, if not friends with one another, for quite awhile as I understand it. Plus, looking at due to curiosity rather than full on scrutiny is a bit different. At least for me. It might be totally different for you, I wouldn't know. However, I'd say at least three people doing the reviewing and again, people with different ideas of balance and perhaps different levels of scrutiny.
I'm not saying it'd be easy to do, but it is doable.

I'm not gonna make too huge a commentary, but I'd like to point out something about #3. I feel that letting all the players more or less offer opinions on characters wouldn't really work as it'd just create a constant argument. Plus some people are better at withholding their personal bias than others and those who cannot would make it...less than pleasant. I know from experience.
However, a way to perhaps moderate character balance better would be one of the following:
>Have a review team for all arena characters.
or
>Have multiple GMs/Tournament hosts with different ideas of balance, but similar skills in balancing. I prefer this one as it keeps chatter to a minimum and makes sure that even if one person's balancing skills are accurate, that they have someone to check for any missed points, mistakes, or the like. It also makes the process less one sided. Lastly, when/if a player questions the balance you can have more than one person who has reviewed it, which lends to a sense of meticulousness and thorough examination, whereas just one person leads to the argument of "well, they're just one person and people make mistakes." Not that more than one person couldn't miss stuff too, but that's beside the point really.

Thankies?! Who the hell...?
You're welcome.
Deal with it
Kk. Thankies.
@Burthstone @Crimson Raven am I required for posting right now? I'm just making sure I haven't missed anything or forgotten. If I am, would you mind linking me?
Broken Blade (or Break Blade in Japan) <- strongly recommended for those who want a change from the usual Gundam/Macross stuff
I love this anime. I started from reading the manga then discovered the anime and watched some of the fight scenes and goddamn are they awesome. I highly suggest reading the manga as well as watching the anime since the anime only covers a small portion of the total content. Though the manga doesn't update often and is still in progress ^^;
As to my watched anime list, found in the hider below is all the ones I could remember watching. The ones with asterisks (*) are the ones I enjoyed most. The more asterisks, the higher the rating haha.
Fury's End
Raelis had waited and known that Khazna would attempt to cut the strands of his magic, for while he could not see them himself, he could feel them and could tell that the man had done it more than once already. So in the last moment he nullified his own control. If he was too late, the energy would revert to its state before he had moved it, entering his blade and if that secondary strand was cut, then the following thing would happen just as it would if the energy entered his blade.
In short, no matter what Khazna did one of two things would happen. The first was that the inferno would be undeterred whatsoever, roasting him alive; whereas the second was that he and everything outside of a 2 meter radius of Raelis would suddenly drop to absolute zero. That was to say, 0 kelvin, or -273 degrees Celsius. So cold that the very atoms in the space would instantaneously cease all movement, freezing even the elements in the air into ice. Additionally, due to the heat surrounding Khazna's body directly being outside of Raelis' control, the temperature difference would immediately cause an explosion. Raelis restrained the explosive reaction around himself so he would not also be damaged. Even if Khazna could survive the explosion, he would be unable to transfer any heat energy to his surroundings and due to his being unable to retain his body heat, unlike Raelis who passively utilized Devene energy to do so, he would die within a matter of seconds.
Why exactly would this intense cold occur? Well, to put it simply, Raelis had predicted Khazna for the second time and baited him with what appeared to be an all out attack. The problem was he had arrested control of all heat energy within the cavern. So when Khazna cut the thread he effectively demanifested all of that heat energy back to Rhay. Enter the deep freeze.
Should his blade retain heat, it would hit 3600 degrees Fahrenheit. The armor on his form was electromagnetically charged further. His nanite armor had become so dense that his armor was black. Even should Khazna manage his dance of blades, none of his nanite weapons would pierce more than 1/3rd through his armor. His normal blades would cut close, but each time he would shift his body slightly out of the way, allowing the blade to pass through armor, but never strike flesh. His nanites would replicate back to normal and his armor would meld back together after any strike, never being fully destroyed, or even phased at the end of the encounter, if it occurred at all.
Should Khazna miraculously manage to counter both possibility and close the distance, Raelis' once departed wing armor would be there three milliseconds afterwards where it would begin to strike away, block, and otherwise inconvenience the Asaran's opponent.
3 things.
1.) The magnetized bladed plates were still around Tablurath.
2.) The plates that went to strike Mercy away would have struck it a meter or 4 away from Raelis.
3.) Given that ability functions as you just described, then it has a weakness and I'm going to exploit it when I get home or tomorrow depending on how tired I feel.
