No extra rules? I just making a comic about the fight and posting it here, fine sounds fun.
Can you tell me the names of the past three champions? I'll lurk but it'll be faster with a minimal guide.

I joined last year as a spectator for CRAB3 so I got no real clue, but this year's champion is a buff but smelly brute with a football helmet called Florida Man

Character info for Witchstar. I'll make it as brief as I can. You can ignore this if you want but I find these things useful, I would have liked one for Florida Man for example.
Witchstar (true name is Ririna):
Wish: Curing her sister Erina from her beyond massive standards for men so she can find love and be happy.
Personality: She loves helping people.
Can use:
- Highly potent: electric magic, water magic, fire and heat magic, telekinesis. Excellent reflexes and broom control.
Can't use:
Complex spells like barriers, buffs, reality bending, etc. Terrible at potions. She's all firepower but zero control, that makes her a terrible witch but a good hero.
Weakness:
-Extremely frail thanks to her inability to use complex magic (no barriers). She's pretty fast but she can't tank a hit. As strong as a little girl.
- Random problems caused by her inability to control magic.
Low INT and WIS.
Marcie:
She can create small objects that last five minutes, nothing bigger than herself.
Escobar:
Flying

Sisters: only needed for power ups and character motivations, ignore them.
Irina: Tomboyish little shit, physical powerhouse.
Erina: Strongest of the sisters by a wide margin. Obsessed with Chuck Norris.
Ririna has three more sisters that are most likely not appearing.

Gooners, Mostrosities, Edgelords, Clowns. Long ago the four archetypes lived together in harmony, then everything changed when the clownfags attacked. Only dizzy rabbit, master of all four archetypes could stop them but when crab needed her most she noshowed. 1 year passed and dizzy has entered a new tournament. Even though her artwork is great she has alot to learn before she's ready to save anything, but I believe Dizzy can save crab4.

I like beautiful mentally ill women too.

Btw, I don't want to act like I'm important or anything, nobody gives a shit about me, but I'll be only in the threads . I'm already a very questionable character with very questionable preferences, I don't need to get mixed in Discord stuff or smear any good anon with shit.
If you see someone in Discord claiming to be me, kick him out. If I for some reason (it won't happen) get into Discord, kick me out.
