    Quake - champed.
    Punisher - champed
    Drax - 5/1/5, covers in the skills that matter most. L145 should be doable
    Winter Soldier - 0/5/1, L70. not likely
    War Machine - 5/4/4, L145 should be doable
    Kate Bishop - 3/5/3, L145 should be doable
    Moon Knight - 2/2/5, L145 and green is amazing so confident in this one. Will be interesting to see how the random nature of purple will affect things
    Peggy Carter - 1/3/2, only L70 so will need ISO and a few more covers before I will feel confident
    Wasp - 2/2/3, L70. I honestly have no idea how she will do 1v1. Seems like this will be a tough fight regardless of opponent.

    So 6 I consider Yes, 2 that are maybes that will become Yes if i can get some more covers, and then WS who I can't seem to pull anything but blue for.

    I'll lose on some of the newest characters this time, which is fine, because I don't play as much, so I haven't been earning as many covers for new characters. But once it resets, I'll be good for the next batch of older characters, many of whom I've already championed.

    Up to Drax, I have maxed covered (majority sitting at level 120-140, which quake and x23 championed). From winter soldier it's mostly 2/2/2 or something close to that, which will definitely be a challenge

    I realized we're almost at Spider-Gwen's fight, so next week it's time for the new fights. So I decided to bump this up. icon_e_smile.gif
    The Winter Soldier rewards in Civil War were a nice surprise, especially since my Alliance managed to get all Three of them. I also got one more from a legendary token, so now Bucky is around 9 covers and should have a fair chance. Quake and Punisher are my most recent champions, Drax has 11 covers and War Machine has 12. Kate Bishop has eluded me, I Think I only have half a dozen covers, so that may be one I have to skip if they go that far. Moon Knight has 9 covers (though 5 of them are Purple...) and should have a fair chance. I have had good luck with Peggy Carter, she's at 12 covers now and should have no problem. I hope they skip Wasp and Spider-Woman though as they only have 3 covers each...

    Upcoming matchups for reference, from the Events forum:
    09/24/2016 Quake vs 270???
    09/29/2016 Punisher vs 270???
    10/04/2016 Drax vs 270???

    For most of the new characters I have in average 3-5 covers so it's hard to say... Only Quake (9 covers) fight shouldn't be a problem.

    I have also benefited greatly from last CW and now my WinterS is also maxed, so I am very confident I will win all the fights (hoping Wasp and SpiderWoman are not included). All the other times I failed just once (CapFalcon first time, Gwen the second time), I hope this time around I will manage to beat all the fights.

    09/24/2016 Quake champed
    09/29/2016 Punisher champed
    10/04/2016 Drax I will champ him this week (not particularly exited about champing him, but I have 3 covers of him waiting icon_razz.gif)
    10/09/2016 Winter Soldier max covered
    10/14/2016 X
    10/19/2016 War Machine max covered (with 5 in blue)
    10/24/2016 Kate Bishop 3/5/3
    10/29/2016 Moon Knight max covered
    11/03/2016 Peggy Carter champed
    11/08/2016 Wasp 4/2/1
    11/13/2016 Spider Woman -/2/2

    I think probably WinterS and Kate are my next in line to be champed. I am having a lot of doubts to know who to champ next... (Maybe I should just level all my 4s to 200-220 so when I get a cover they are easier to champ)

    My only feasible upcoming one is Quake at 3/3/1. Really hoping her opponent is one of Teen Jean, Rulk or Kamala
    My top candidates are Kamala, for the Inhumans link, and Nick Fury, for the SHIELD link. We'll see next weekend I suppose...

    I'll be happy if I win my first crash ever this next cycle. icon_e_confused.gif

    My current most well-covered character is Cyclops with 5 covers, and I have a total of 30 4* characters rostered, so right now I could probably only beat the easiest crashes (e.g. Invisible Woman).

    Then again, my average number of covers can move up fast once I stop opening new chars almost every time I open a LT... considering now the likelihood of pulling a new char is around 25% if I open a classic token (14.6% for a new 4*, 10.7 for a new 5*). I would love to open a few tokens in a row without pulling anything new, but no luck so far.

    Since I've been hoarding CP, I'm in big trouble. Then again - I thought about that, and I could pull about 75 LT's....or less than one of every cover if they were distributed evenly...so CP/LT's are NOT actually speeding you towards 4* transition very quickly (or at all!)

    I think I won every DDQ last round except Spider Woman...and I'm worried I might fail that upcoming one! Now level 172...but 5/1/4 so no offense. Upcoming, I'll win four of the next set, losing up to seven upcoming.

    09/24/2016 Quake 4/3/3 172, yep
    09/29/2016 Punisher 1/4/4 172, yep
    10/04/2016 Drax 3/1/1 70, nope
    10/09/2016 Winter Soldier 3/2/3 168 (thanks CW event, possibly)
    10/14/2016 Dino (anniversary) 5/5/3 270, yep
    10/19/2016 War Machine 2/2/0 70, nope
    10/24/2016 Kate Bishop 0/1/0 70, nope
    10/29/2016 Moon Knight 1/1/0 70, nope
    11/03/2016 Peggy Carter 2/1/1 70, nope
    11/08/2016 Wasp 0/2/1 70, nope
    11/13/2016 Spider Woman 0/1/2 70, nope
    11/20/2016 (next 4* if added) x/x/x 70, nope.

    WHY AREN'T THESE EVERY DAY ALREADY? I've asked that question every time they rotate! They should have been running almost daily a year ago!

    09/24/2016 Quake vs 270??? -- Got her champed, should be an easy win.
    09/29/2016 Punisher vs 270??? -- Ought to be entirely doable with my 3/3/5 Punisher, although I do wish one of his damage dealing abilities was maxed instead of his blue...
    10/04/2016 Drax vs 270??? -- Will probably take some boosts at 2/2/5 -- not least because I want to get the most out of his red if I'm going to have a chance.
    10/09/2016 Winter Soldier vs 270??? -- 5/2/5, simple enough. His reliance on countdowns will make it fun no matter what, though.
    10/14/2016 Dino (anniversary) vs 222 Squirrel Girl [Placeholder, assumed] -- Never a challenge.
    10/19/2016 War Machine vs 270??? -- Okay, now we're getting dicey. 3/1/3, with his only direct-damage power as the 1, is not great. Could win depending on how much the enemy relies on invisibility, but probably not.
    10/24/2016 Kate Bishop vs 270??? -- 1/5/3. Should be doable; blue won't deal much damage but can still prevent healing, and black is cheap enough to save up and spam.
    10/29/2016 Moon Knight vs 270??? -- Possible at 1/3/4, provided that Moonsilver Blades bug is fixed so they won't miss a solo opponent.
    11/03/2016 Peggy Carter vs 270??? -- Probably not happening at 2/1/3.
    11/08/2016 Wasp vs 270??? -- Nooooooooooooope
    11/13/2016 Spider Woman vs 270??? -- Even more nope.

    Updating my earlier answer, as I've been able to put a lot more ISO into a bunch of these.

    09/24/2016 Quake vs 270??? -- Champion
    09/29/2016 Punisher vs 270??? -- Champion
    10/04/2016 Drax vs 270??? -- 4/4/5@111. Probably a pain, but doable. Especially if I put a few thousand more ISO into him
    10/09/2016 Winter Soldier vs 270??? -- 3/5/5@100. Ditto.
    10/14/2016 Dino (anniversary) vs 222 Squirrel Girl [Placeholder, assumed] -- Don't expect this one to run. 1/2/3@70, if so, though. Perhaps will get more covers for the anniversary; perhaps will put some ISO in, if so.
    10/19/2016 War Machine vs 270??? -- 5/4/4@127. Not expecting it to be bad.
    10/24/2016 Kate Bishop vs 270??? -- Champion
    10/29/2016 Moon Knight vs 270??? -- Champion
    11/03/2016 Peggy Carter vs 270??? -- Champion
    11/08/2016 Wasp vs 270??? -- 2/4/5@70, and should be 2/5/5 or better by then. Think it's about 50/50 that she runs, but should be doable by raising her to 120-ish
    11/13/2016 Spider Woman vs 270??? -- Fairly sure we won't see her. Currently 2/2/2@127; wouldn't be easy, to put it mildly.

    It's been almost a month, so sure, I'll update mine also. I too have been hoarding CP and most tokens, so not a ton of progress:

    Gwen was the cutoff last time and she was ~3 months old at the time of her DDQ. Assuming no Duck DDQ, we should be looking at (where I'm at I'll put in parentheses):

    9/24 Quake (3/3/5, should be fine, could use more green) Champed now
    9/29 Punisher (4/1/2, the black should be enough) No change
    10/4 Drax (5/3/5, no issues) No change
    10/9 Winter Soldier (1/2/3, maybe?) 4/3/4 now. Should have a decent shot
    10/14 War Machine (1/1/3, doubt it) 3/1/3 now. Little better, still gonna be rough
    10/19 Kate Bishop (2/2/2, maybe?) No change
    10/24 Moon Knight (2/1/0, no chance currently) 2/3/0, still probably dead
    10/29 Peggy Carter (2/2/3, should be ok) 3/3/3, should be fine now
    11/3 Wasp (1/2/2, maybe?) 1/5/2. War of attrition win?

    Spider-Woman and any other future 4* are almost guaranteed to get pushed to Cycle 4.

    Overall I'm in ok shape, I have 2-3 months to get more covers in there for the more recent ones. I haven't missed the LT since Cycle 1, so hopefully that streak will continue through Cycle 3. Civil War helped improve my chances on Bucky, and a couple of lucky pulls emptying a handful of LTs before Natasha puts me in better shape overall. There's a chance I break my hoard for Anniversary, which is just before Winter Soldier, which should get me enough covers to win the rest. I'm optimistic.

    It all depends on who they are matched up against. Sometimes being matched up to a overpowered 4* makes it difficult champed or not champed with the corresponding hero/villain.Out of newer champs I have Quake, and Punisher Maxed, now working on moon Knight, but I have a variable amount of covers on all the new ones I don't see too big an issue unless its a champ who counters that champs skillsets, then I will have a hard time.

    Upcoming matchups
    09/24/2016 Quake vs 270??? - 3-4-3, lvl 106. Should be easy with some iso (say to 140)
    09/29/2016 Punisher vs 270??? 2-1-5, lbl 109. Depends on the opp, maybe
    10/04/2016 Drax vs 270??? 3-3-4, lvl 111. Should be fine.
    10/09/2016 Winter Soldier vs 270??? 4-0-2. I doubt it so probably won't waste iso
    10/14/2016 Dino (anniversary) vs 222 Squirrel Girl [Placeholder, assumed] - should be fine as he is maxed covered
    10/19/2016 War Machine vs 270??? 2-1-5, no idea as I don't play him.

    The rest - no chance on this planet. Kate is 0-2-3, Moon - 1-0-2, Peggy 0-1-1, Wasp 0-0-1 and I don't have a SW cover icon_e_sad.gif

    Here's where I'm at:

    09/19/2016 Spider-Gwen vs 270 Spider-Miles -- Gwen is champed
    09/24/2016 Quake vs 270??? -- Quake is champed
    09/29/2016 Punisher vs 270??? Punisher is champed
    10/04/2016 Drax vs 270??? Drax is fully covered but level 70
    10/09/2016 Winter Soldier vs 270??? Bucky is at 3/4/4 but I think this one will be hard
    10/14/2016 Dino (anniversary) vs 222 Squirrel Girl Dino is level 170... do-able
    10/19/2016 War Machine vs 270??? 3/3/1 level 100... meh
    10/24/2016 Kate Bishop vs 270??? 2/4/3 level 70... mehhh
    10/29/2016 Moon Knight vs 270??? 1/3/2 level 70... mehhhhh
    11/03/2016 Peggy Carter vs 270??? 1/2/4 level 70... I'll probably level her, but 1 red isn't good
    11/08/2016 Wasp vs 270??? 0/3/1 level 70... can't see this happening
    11/13/2016 August release Spider Woman??? vs 270??? 0/1/2 level 70... nope.

    A month later, I now look like this:

    9/24 Quake (5/3/5 level 78) up two covers
    9/29 Punisher (3/3/2 level 70) no change
    10/4 Drax (3/2/5 level 115) up one cover
    10/9 Winter Soldier (4/2/3 level 70) up five covers
    10/14 Devil Dino (4/2/3 level 147)
    10/19 War Machine (2/1/2 level 70) no change
    10/24 Kate Bishop (0/3/2 level 70) up three covers
    10/29 Moon Knight (1/2/1 level 70) no change
    11/03 Peggy Carter (4/2/1 level 152) up one cover
    11/08 Wasp (1/2/2 level 70) up three covers

    9/24 Quake - champed, no problem
    9/29 Punisher - 4/5/4 level 168, should win
    10/4 Drax - 5/2/5 level 100, needs a lot more levels
    10/9 Winter Soldier - champed, no problem
    10/14 Devil Dino - 5/5/3 level 189, should win
    10/19 War Machine - 3/1/2 level 90, probably not happening
    10/24 Kate Bishop - 0/3/3 level 90, probably not happening
    10/29 Moon Knight - 2/3/3 level 86, maybe if I soft cap him
    11/03 Peggy Carter - 2/1/4 level 111, needs a lot more levels
    11/08 Wasp - 0/2/2 level 90, yeah, no

    Unless they throw some softballs in there ala Prof X, Howard, etc I'm staring at a long dry spell.

    Winter Soldier: 2/1/2. Maybe, if they're nice.
    Peggy - don't have.
    War Machine - 0/1/1
    Drax - 0/0/1
    Kate - 2/1/0
    Quake - 0/2/2
    Punisher - 0/1/3
    Moon Knight - don't have
    Wasp - don't have.

    45 days fallow. I feel ready to go when the new cycle starts, though. The Iso influx has enabled me to champ a couple and boost up many to the point they might be able to win their crash.

    I don't know where the new cycle will end. I would not be surprised to see Spider-Woman in this round. She'll be in the tokens for season XXXII, and her turn would not come up until the end of season XXXIII. That being said, here's my lineup (so far this round I've cleared them all):

    9/24 Quake (5/3/5, lvl 274)
    9/29 Punisher (5/1/4, lvl 70)
    10/4 Drax (4/2/5, lvl 86)
    10/9 Winter Soldier (2/2/4, lvl 78)
    10/14 War Machine (5/2/5, lvl 86)
    10/19 Kate Bishop (2/2/3, lvl 70)
    10/24 Moon Knight (3/1/3, lvl 70)
    10/29 Peggy Carter (3/1/3, lvl 70)
    11/3 Wasp (0/2/4, lvl 70)
    11/8 Spider-Woman (0/1/2, lvl 70)

    I'm feeling pretty confident up to War Machine. After him it may get a little scary. My plan is to get each character as close to lvl 200 in the 5 days leading up and see how I fare...

    Last month:
    Quake - champed.
    Punisher - champed
    Drax - 5/1/5, covers in the skills that matter most. L145 should be doable
    Winter Soldier - 0/5/1, L70. not likely
    War Machine - 5/4/4, L145 should be doable
    Kate Bishop - 3/5/3, L145 should be doable
    Moon Knight - 2/2/5, L145 and green is amazing so confident in this one. Will be interesting to see how the random nature of purple will affect things
    Peggy Carter - 1/3/2, only L70 so will need ISO and a few more covers before I will feel confident
    Wasp - 2/2/3, L70. I honestly have no idea how she will do 1v1. Seems like this will be a tough fight regardless of opponent.

    So 6 I consider Yes, 2 that are maybes that will become Yes if i can get some more covers, and then WS who I can't seem to pull anything but blue for.
    Almost a month later there are some changes.

    Quake - champed. Win
    Punisher - champed. WIn
    Drax - 5/1/5, still think this is a win.
    Winter Soldier - Was 0/5/1 now 3/5/5. Win
    War Machine - 5/4/4, L145 should be doable. Think I'd rather have him at 3/5/5 though. Win
    Kate Bishop - 3/5/4, L145 should be doable. Win
    Moon Knight - 2/2/5, L145 and green is amazing so confident in this one. Will be interesting to see how the random nature of purple will affect things. Win
    Peggy Carter - Was 1/3/2, now 3/3/5 L111. Win
    Wasp - 3/5/3, L70. I honestly have no idea how she will do 1v1. Seems like this will be a tough fight regardless of opponent. If I could get two more black covers that would be great and I'd feel more confident. Maybe
    Spiderwoman - 2/2/1 L70. No chance right now. Loss

    So right now I would say I have 7 wins, 1 not sure and 1 loss.
