Rico. Easiest one yet.

[Deleted]

Well, he CAN throw a football over them there mountains.

And they WOULD have won states if only they'd have put him in in the 4th quarter.

[Deadly]

Exactly.

[Jobber Blitz]

If the latter rounds of this competition end up being dominated by comic book characters, I will call the Brawl For All stupid.

[Deleted]

As will I.

Which is why I'm incredibly thrilled Bruce Lee is beating the holy hell out of Deadpol, currently.

[creepy]

I'm voting against all comic book guys. Except Batman. I really like Batman. And maybe the Green Lantern.

[Lucky]

Assuming you guys are playing these as straight fights then a lot of comic guys makes complete and total sense. Effectively Deadpool losing to Bruce Lee is retarded because Deadpool has super powers. Most of the entries "should" lose to comic book characters, action movie stars, wrestlers, or whatever. And super heroes "should" beat most wrestlers, action heroes, etc by basic common sense. Something like Solly beating She-Ra is retarded by the inherent "logic" of the game.

But that's applying logic to Gator's methed out madness where in truth I just expect him to eventually start cherry picking winners he wants into fights he wants.

[creepy]

But are we voting based on who would win in a fight or are we voting on what we like better? I really don't know. Wouldn't the sun beat anything in a fight? Unless a milky way was nominated? How are we supposed to vote with inanimate objects versus people? And do real people automatically beat "fake" people like movie characters or comic book characters? And what if a real person has a penchent for guns, like Jesse James; would it be assumed he has a gun in his matchup?

I guess I don't get it.

As with every other draft/showdown we have, it all ultimately comes down to personal preference for each voter. My initial initial idea was just all comic heroes in a "who would win in a fight?" scenario, but there wasn't seemingly very much interest.

So I opened it up to everything at Byrne's suggestion. You can still personally treat it as "who would win in a fight", or you can vote based solely on personal preference. The "fun" of it all for me is in seeing how people might defend the seemingly overwhelming "underdogs", like Rico in this case.

For the most part, we've got "normal" people and characters competing, but we will have the occasional odd/random matchups such as this one. The really REALLY odd ones are going to be when "ideas" and "random words" are competing. In retrospect I probably should've limited the nominations to people/things that at least theoretically consist of matter. (If by some fluke of nature another one of these is conducted, this WILL be a stipulation.)

So after all is said and done, just have fun with it however YOU like. A fan of the underdog in the matchup? Then give us a scenario where he/she/it might trump the superior candidate and try to sway some votes. Just wanna vote for who you think would win in a fight? Have at it. Ultimately it's what you make of it.

Personally, I'm rooting for the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

[Lucky]

See? That's why I'm not playing. No damn order or integrity! Start a "who will win in a fight" tournament and then toss out the basic idea!

[Byrntrigan]

I'm surprised "Lucky's Born to hate" concept didn't make it, or did it?

It'd totally win...

[Lucky]

Or "Lucky's ability to follow simple directions"?

Or "Lucky's bizarre assumption that things are what they say they are"?

Or "Lucky's foolish assumption that if you start a showdown based on who would win a fight that it would be a showdown based on who would win in a fight"?

Or "Lucky's desire for the world to make sense"?

You know as well as I do that those things would all not only lose in a fight but are also completely unpopular here.

[DevSop]

I like you Lucky and those ideas. I hate Gator and Byrne. I don't know who Uncle Rico is and I hope to never know.

O shut it panderer.

I like Lucky too, but I ain't blowing him to show it...

[Lucky]

And I appreciate that since I certainly didn't ask for such unwanted advances.

Punisher moves on!
