mu033 Green Scar

SMASH: Green Scar can use Leap/Climb. Give Green Scar a power action; move him up to his speed value, and then give him one close combat action as a free action.

Can he use leap/climb to move up to his speed value and use the close combat action?

I don't think he would.. leap/climb is a move action and the 2nd part uses a power action. Not sure, so asking.

And you would be correct.

I've played with this figure for years and yes you can use leap/climb to move your full movement and then smack someone. I've never had a judge call me on it, I've even asked a few at tourneys including the sealed release they've said it's cool.

Those people were in error.

The way it's worded is basically a full movement charge, and you can ignore characters and terrain during the movement.

Pretty much, yes.
No you cannot. You need to give Green Scar a move action to be able to do that.

Queb I quote rule number one in your sig. The judge is always right. When 5 judges at the same event say yes he can, then yes he can.

Maybe the judges were thinking of the Rampaging Hulk power Squash or Scarlet Spider Power

POUNCE FROM ABOVE: Scarlet Spider can use Leap/Climb. After he resolves a move action, he can make a close combat attack as a free action.

Nope, I pointed it out to them beforehand they said I was good to go.

They can rule it however they want at the event.

From an official standpoint, however, they are ruling it incorrectly...be it 5 or 500 judges.

Eh, then what can you say. Judges are people too, sometimes they are wrong. If they rule it was allowed, then thats how you play it, but that doesn't mean its correct. Its good to know the correct ruiling.

For a good understanding of why a judge should not be ruling it to work, I recommend reading the following thread:

Oh, I know how the power works, I also know that sometimes people get similar powers confused, or use ruilings for similar powers to support ones that don't really fall into the same category. I was just saying that if the acting judge ruled it legal, then thats how you play it, but given that, you should still know how its actually supposed to be played and then inform the judge so that everyone can play by the same rule.

From what I remember it was exactly like Pounce, and you cannot use Leap/Climb with Pounce. I'm with Queb on this
