Festival of fights top picks

Every so often we could have an event where we eliminate one color from the board, and keep the 1 v 1 setup. 
How interesting it would be to have a no-Yellow event? Then, no Red a month after that? Etc. 
I understand this would severely hamper some players who rely heavily on one or two characters who have this color though. 
As others have mentioned, I'd also like an opportunity to play with (and against) 4* 1v1 this way. Separate 4* and 5* nodes could potentially work, but maybe something different. As in, a 5* player can play 4*'s up to 800 points or ~30 wins, then afterward MMR kicks them to all 5* enemies and locks out their 4*' use.  Some variation of this seems like it has potential.

I got 40 wins because I kept trying wacky clashes and lost a bunch, yet had a blast going deep to the bench and trying it out.
 x-23 did most of my work for me. She eats doom's Black and JJ clues and refills health with a small cascade or two, also chasing green/purps really helped against doom
I saw a lot of 4* juggs but Nightcrawler was hilariously fun counter, he bamf's with the first collateral damage and so any unlucky cascades don't hit, then your blue will TKO as he will have built up a huge pool w/ no outlet. 
Mordo was uncommonly seen , I think for the same reason (see also IWCap)
Most people went Caroling for the Holiday and mirror race for Yellow =easy wins
America was similar mirror race
Ghost of course did well especially with the cascade potential.
Elektra and Jessica Drew did really good! with their Black avoidance outlasting 5* hitpools, and Elektra's red getting in great rate
I had a fun match against Vulture w/Archangel: can't stun but the airborne passive triggers & hits every turn, I let him take off an extra time just for the fun finish.

I really enjoyed this one and welcome it on the regs, Would like to see 5*'s locked out or level capped at 370 or sumthing. 
Would enjoy this as a 1/2/3 only event so the matches would be quicker and all could play. but Vision would just rule them all.

Very glad I had Profe$$or X champed for this. He was just a monster in these one-on-one fights. Not 100%, of course, I took my share of losses, but it was really fun.

I can def see how roster issues could leave someone in a bad place, but there are a lot of solid options, so it felt less exclusive than, say, Reunions.

Definitely less exclusive than some other events, but also (for 5* players) a very clear indication of just how punishing 5* play can be.  5*s have 4h5x as much health as 4*a, and their power damage scales similarly.  But 5*s have match damage that is 2-3x higher per HP than the lower tiers.  And in 1v1 there is nowhere to hide.  1 bad cascade will typically end a match, and that's before even considering the characters with strong passives that double down on Cascades (Prof $, jj, etc).

I really enjoyed this event. As someone said I almost didn't see kitty pride which was Amazing. 

Still we need a new game mode. Something different. 

I don't usually do PvP, since my roster will never be to the point where I can realistically compete, but I gave this one a shot and enjoyed it.  I didn't get very high (as expected), but it was fun running through with Moon Knight, Hobo Fist, and dang, even Devil Dinosaur.  It's a PvP I do hope they run again at some point.
