I think Altair is a demon in combat even without the assassination kills. In Acre, yes he'll probably just leap on Kilik from behind and stab him in the throat, but if it comes to a sword and pole fight Altair will still win by a huge margin. I've lost count of how many platoons of Saracens and Crusaders I've killed with him. I remember leaving an entire encampment of Crusaders dead, with piles of bodies scattered throughout in suitably painful positions. That's what Altair's all about: killing people in a relentless fashion.

--------------------

Scepticism, that dry rot of the intellect, had not left one entire idea in his mind.

Me on the Starcraft.

The results of last week's fight...

CoN Crew: 3 - 3, tie
Facebookies: 4 - 3, Kilik
Ready AIM Fire: 9 - 5, Altair
I R L: 7 - 5, Kilik
Googlefight: +1, Altair*

* if someone else gets some different result, let me know.

Total: 21 - 19

Your winner: Altair

I do love the close battles.


And now, this week... We feature two highly volatile fanged undead sentries from two separate ends of the vampire world. Let's meet them.


In the RED Corner...



Lestat

Where you've seen him: One of the main protagonists in the smashing Vampire Chronicles of Anne Rice, most particularly the Vampire Lestat and, more visually, Queen of the Damned.

Vicious. Lethal. Volatile. And a snappy singer to boot. Lover of fashion, reading, and, of course, an occasional glass of human blood. One could make Lestat out to be an eccentric man. But as a vampire, he has the power to lay anyone to waste. He possesses all the trademark skills of a vampire: super strength and telepathy, but he also has added ability of flight and pyrokinesis. Intelligence and strength are a lethal combo.

Why he will win: The blood of Akasha elevates him to beyond a "normal" vampire.
Why he will lose: His own vane arrogance may negate his intelligence.


And his opponent, in the BLUE Corner...



Angel

Where you've seen him: Good-or-evil rogue from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and eponymous televisions series.

Just ask the slayers how hard these vampires fight. It's nigh impossible for any mere mortal to take the life of them, and nearly so for slayers not named "Buffy". This a tale of two different vampires. With his soul, he is good and honest and uses his strength wisely, showing his tact and intelligence. But without his soul, his brute strength comes in and vicious attacking methods. Can he win trying to balance his good and evil side?

Why he will win: You don't get to be Big Bad by being a mamby-pamby.
Why he will lose: He may be overmatched in strength here, and will his guile be enough?

How this fight came to be: Tired of letting that little arsehole Edward Cullen giving vampires a name, these two volunteered to brawl to let everyone know just how a real vampire throws down.

Setting: Sunnydale

The corner bends into the perfect dog ear
As if the words knew I'd need them again
But at the time, I didn't see it."

~"This Ain't a Surfin' Movie" - Minus the Bear

Lestat

Even as a Big Bad, Angel struck me as a "please-someone-slap-this-guy-upside-the-head" type of guy. He's not the best tactitian in the buffyverse, nor is he the strongest fighter. As an added bonus, or rather, substracted minus, he has the kind of facial expression on that makes it seem that thinking hurts him physically.

Lestat, on the other hand, has always, in my experience, been the ballsy and smart one, which is a lethal combination. Also Pyrokinesis gives him the final edge in this battle. Additionally, he makes Tom Cruise look good, which is an achievement of sorts.

A better buffyverse adversary would've been Spyke (three dead slayers on his record), but oh well.

Good old CoN

I don't even see how Angel ever got his own show!

Lestat goes smack and Angel cowers in fear.


Lestat wins this one.

Lestat is much older, much more powerful and much more cunning than his Buffy-verse counter-part. Though he is, for the most part, a lover and not a fighter, he has drank the blood of many ancient vampires in addition to the strength he was already made with, through Magnus. He has no qualms with killing to sustain himself, and instead, romanticizes the whole thing.

All that being said, the only real advantage Angel has is the ruthless cunning and brutal nature he possess while he is "Angelus", his darker half. As Angel himself, he's not much more than a lucky and sometimes resourceful brawler.

Both definitely could make a laughing stock of the Cullen family, to be sure.

At any rate, Lestat is the Prince of The Damned. He wins.

[Edit]
As much as it pains me to do so, I gotta agree with SMad. There are very few good Tom Cruise movies, Interview with the Vampire is definitely the height of them. His Lestat was so much more accurate to the vain monster than that abortion of a film Queen of the Damned was. Urgh, what a terrible movie.

Okay, but there was a goat!

Well, the fight is set in Sunnydale, which is basically a giant crater. Any knowledge of the area that Angel used to have is moot. And there goes his only advantage. Lestat wins.

And DF, Lestat as Tom Cruise's best movie? You're either on something or you haven't seen A Few Good Men.

Lestat

Angel seems like a normal vampire, not bad by any means. But Lestat is a super vampire in many ways. While I agree the movie is terrible, he did gain a super powerful relationship with Akasha (not to mention nailing Aaliyah as a vampire, which is admirable), but she elevated him, making him superpowerful. I think he wins in a landslide.

Lol. Nice.


While I'm tempted to just give Angel a pity vote since I don't particularly care for Lestat, I can't in good conscience do that. I think Lestat would handily deal with Angel.

Hey, Hey, Hey! Easy on the Cullens! Honestly, even before I read your "how this fight came to be" I was gonna vote Edward, but only because you can't out-think a mind-reader.

Anywho, I am going to give this fight to Angel, as he has a soul. This is both an advantage and disadvantage, but as the most Intelligent of vampires constantly question this fact in themselves, it is always a point of thought, that Angel is not distracted by in the least.

While I am not familiar with either of these vampires, I just needed to give a nod of appreciation towards this statement. Twilight makes me angry. So does Edward, who looks like a hunched, pale rapist. And he doesn't even follow vampire rules: what the heck is that all about?

I'm just gonna say that Blade or Van Helsing could KO either of them

Yeah, didn't a mother-daughter team write that? And they're making two other movies.

Btw, just watched Queen of the Damned, oh what a horrible movie.Almost thought about changing my vote. But Lestat would win.

I guess you could say that vampire movies are delicate things. They can be really good/bad.

Lestat was already elevated above the other Vampires, in that he was made by Magnus, an alchemist who stole immortality from a very old vampire, and lived quite a long life himself, before making Lestat. He fed from Marius, and of course, from Akasha.

Of the vampiric gifts, flight, combustion and hypnosis and partial telepathy are all available to him. These are traits that Angel does not possess in the slightest. His only real strength is his physical power and endurance, which our charming prince also has in spades.

Okay, I remember that. Bu he also elevated himself really? Through his own ambition.

No. No, they couldn't. Not Lestat anyway.

Also, I try not to think of the reason how this fight came to be.

I might die laughing.
Twighlight was a laugh-fest for me, with the sparkles ("This is the skin of a killer!") and cell multiplication scenes being peaks of hilarity. It was almost as funny as Terminator 3. T3, however, did funny stuff as act of self-parody.

Another point, that came to mind:

Quote (Sabin)

IIRC, Angel doesn't like his vampiric state (not while he has his soul in place, anyway) and "real vampire" is a bit of a misstatement here, but then again I'm just nitpicking.

Lestat takes him down in the first round! Never second guess the hedonistic vampire.


An all new fight coming tomorrow... as I am nearly falling asleep on my keyboard having just remembered it was Wednesday Night. Sorry. Until then.

~"This Ain't a Surfin' Movie" - Minus the Bear

Again, sorry for the inconvenience, folks. My softball league just happens to pick Wednesdays as the most frequent night to play, so by the time I get home I'm generally exhausted and in no mood to pit two fighters together.


Anyhow, I promised a special fight this week, and I shall deliver. That's because this week we're bringing you the second annual Ms. Wednesday Pageant. Four beautiful young ladies will take center stage in this contest, not unlike the Miss America Pageant...
Except there will be no Q & A session
There will be no talent portion
And there will be no swimsuit competition (sorry, guys)

Just a hard nosed, knock down-drag out, winner-take-all free-for-all.

Let's meet the contestants...

In the RED Corner...



Emma Frost

Where you've seen her: Gracing the X-Men with their presence inside a series of Marvel comics

The mutant formerly known as the White Queen would certainly suit any pageant, beauty or battle as it were. She is formidable with her psychic and defensive abilities. She is incredibly intelligent, even without her telepathic ability. From running a multi-billion dollar business, she is now co-headmaster of Xavier's school and a valuable asset to the X-Men squad.

Why she will win: Her psionic bolts can pierce and damage damn near anyone. And with her expanded mutation allowing her to transform her skin into diamonds, she becomes nearly indestructible.

Why she will lose: Her telepathic abilities aren't effective while she's in her "diamond state". Furthermore, it's a documented fact that while in said diamond state, one perfectly exploited flaw in her stature will cause her to shatter.

In the BLUE Corner...



Kasumi

Where you've seen her: Your friend probably called you cheap when you picked her on the Dead or Alive fighting series.

You'll be hard pressed to find a fighter who is quicker than this young ninja. She originally was to become leader of an ancient tribe of ninjas, but instead ran in order to enter a tournament. This is seen as traitorous to her people, who proceed to unsuccessfully kill her. Cloned to be used as a bio weapon, Kasumi wages war against the company responsible for it.

Why she will win: Massive agility and a plethora of stunning hits will give her the edge.

Why she will lose: She consistently tries to avoid confrontation, and even the tournament was just a rouse to get to her brother. While she shows moments of cold-blooded killing, if her heart isn't in it, she may show too much mercy.


In the YELLOW Corner...



Elektra

Where you've seen her before: Holding nothing back with her sais in the Daredevil and eponymous comic series.

An overflowing pot of rage and emotions, Elektra's passion and anger are as much apart of her arsenal as her sais and katanas. A student under the great master of martial arts named Stick, Elektra remained pained over her father's death. She became an assassin and excelled at the job.

Why she will win: There are few who can match her incredible fighting skills. Her endurance, agility, and reflexes seem to be nearly superhuman.

Why she will lose: While it "seems" that way, Elektra is still a human, and thus can only peak at the limitations of humans.
Also, while amazingly agile and strong, she is not the most mentally capable. Her weak will and raw emotion have been manipulated more than once, ultimately leading to her death (and subsequent resurrection)


And the reigning Ms. Wednesday... in the GREEN Corner...



Tifa Lockheart

Where you've seen her before: Laying the smackdown on all foes in the Final Fantasy VII world.

Don't get caught leering, otherwise she's leave you with a face full of bruises. A rampant hurricane of haymakers and crescent kicks, Tifa is an unusual provider of roughneck tactics. Is it martial arts, or simply years of self defense from running a bar? Either way, Tifa is a brute despite her petite appearance.

Why she will win: She took on the ultimate villain with just her fists. Holy crap. That, and she'll have a little bit of materia to work with.

Why she will lose: Ultimately, not the best defender or the quickest one of the bunch.


Exceptions: Tifa's materia selection is limited to a three leveled Fire, Ice, and Lightning.

There are your choices. So, all you lucky voters, who has what it takes to be this year's Ms. Wednesday?


And REMEMBER ... Despite the situation, you are still voting on who would win in a fight, not the one you think is the most visually appealing.

Emma. She doesn't even need to use her telapathic abilities at all during the fight. She just goes diamond and then crushes some skulls. It is true she has the flaw in that form but even then no one has ever found the location of it so I can't imagine any of the other contestants would be able to exploit it in time. I think Tifa would have the best chance of finding it by continuously and randomly punching but even then, I would say there's very little hope at all of being able to find it

--------------------

"We're not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting... fighting was the only thing I was ever good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in." - Frank Yeager (a.k.a. Grey Fox)

I'll also be siding with Miss Frost. Her psychic repertoire is more than enough to handle the rest of the bunch.

Kasumi goes down first. Her speed advantage is almost useless against Elektra's ferocity, Tifa's physics-defying fighting style, or Emma's mutant powers.
Next in line is to be KO'd is Elektra, due to being only human. Anybody who says "so's Tifa" go watch the Tifa-Loz fight scene right now. And then imagine her having Materia in that one.
And while I would instantly give the victory to Emma against Tifa in a one-on-one, Tifa's had two opponnents' worth of time to watch at least SOME of Emma's abilities and will have thought out something. She's not dumb, rash yes, but not dumb.
If Emma goes diamond she gets flamed, iced and bolted at long range. If she tries using her psionics, Tifa will use the Materia magic as a diversion so she can close in and deal some direct pain.\

The Winner is
Tifa

I'm going to say Tifa wins as well. She doesn't have any healing materia but presumably she'll have a variety of potions. Similarly, I'd imagine she'll have Hero Drinks and other supportive items. She can counter Emma Frost with the materia so she's unable to concentrate while Tifa closes in. The diamonds are awkward, but Tifa's surely fought worse? The other two don't really pose a threat against her materia, Limit Breaks and her classic punch-kick combo.

--------------------

Scepticism, that dry rot of the intellect, had not left one entire idea in his mind.

Me on the Starcraft.

Tifa. Her lightning materia alone is enough to strike down this pathetic variety of foes.

Tifa could be fighting the other three in a handicap match and I still think she would win.

Tifa and her fists of fury will dominate

There she is....
Miss Wednesday~
There she is....
Fighting goooooooood.....


This week, we spot two bramble headed squadrons whose efforts have gone down in comedic history. Who can outwit who in a battle of the witless...

In the RED Corner...



Arthur, King of the Britons, and his Knights of the Round Table

Where you've seen them: Exerting all sorts of silliness just in order to find the castle Aaaaaagh in the cult classic film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

They're not suggesting that coconuts migrate (after all, they could be carried if gripped by the husk). But they are on a quest delivered by God himself to find the grail, and nothing stands in their way. Not fiery enchanters. Not the knights who say ... Ni!. Not even decapitating bunny rabbits. A group of galloping ninnies with swords. Among them, Lancealot is a volatile sword swinging mauler. Galahad the pure resisted the castle Anthrax, and certainly has the will power to fight. And Sir Bedavere is wise in the ways of science and witch deliberations.

And they're opposing team...

In the BLUE Corner...



Robin of Loxley, and his Merry Men (no no, straight just... ...merry)

Where you've seen them: Robin Hood as seen through the eyes of Mel Brooks in Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Robin is cunning, daring, a good fighter, a better archer, and unlike other Robin Hoods, he speaks with a flawless English accent. While most of his men can't even knock down a motionless dummy in a jousting contest, he still has some competent mates. Achoo is the Praying Mantis. Blinkin detects killers from a mile away. And Little John is the go-to guy for a bludgeoning (but don't let the name fool you. In real life, he's reeeeal big.)

How this fight came to be: Robin, desperate to find the key to Maid Maryann's "heart", Robin and his merry men begin a quest to find it. Amidst their travels, they run into Arthur and his knights. Clearly their quests were intertwined, and that could not sit by. After all, God had decreed to Arthur himself to seek it out. After Lancealot got too carried away in his idiom and offed a pair of merry men, it was on... like Donkey Kong.

Setting: Sherwood Forest.

~"This Ain't a Surfin' Movie" - Minus the Bear

Oh my God, that is a blast from m past. Men In Tights is a movies I grew up with, man. And Holy Grail is one of my favorite comedies as well.

This is a difficult battle, perhaps the closest battle ever posted. That is because it is truly idiots vs idiots. I do, however, think that there's a clear winner.

While I think that, after continuous battles with personal nostalgia, believe that Holy Grail is a better movie, Arthur, King of the Britons, and his knights are completely incompetent. And since this isn't a "Which movie is better?" fight, then we have to look at how well they fight.

Robin Hood has more "Merry" men, and they win much more battles. Robin Hood is an idiot, but he is a good fighter, and so is Ahchoo, Little John, and Will Scarlet Ohara (from Georgia). First, Robin and Ahchoo fights single-handedly and defeat the knights, then they fight them in the Hall and defeat them in the end.

Now, Arthur shows some prowess versus the Black Knight, and they do fight many powerful enemies, like the Rabbit. But I don't think that they could stand up to the power of the tights.

I guess that nostalgia's winning this time. Robin's Merry Band wins.

--------------------

Praise Be To Helix!

Woohoo, what a match!

Initially, I intended to vote for the Men in Tights. Fierce fighting abilities, dumb luck, style (and when in trouble they can just fox for reinforcements).
I'm not saying the Knights are powerless, especially if they have The Holy Hand Grenade, which Blasts The Lords Enemies To Tiny Bits (In His Mercy) but they were just a wee bit too short on short-minded bravado.

Then I saw that all those arguments aren't really needed, since I saw one thing that made me yell "Home-ground advantage!".
No Robin Hood, EVER, loses a fight in the Sherwood Forest.

The Merry Men in Tights win.
And there is much rejoicing.

"We have more, can deliver tuesday." - Del S

Good old CoN

This is a great match!

So first off, you have to understand the physicality of these two groups: in terms of hardened-battle veterans, only King Arthur fully demonstrated any knowledge and technique in felling a foe (the black knight), and the rest of the round table only proved they have an unnatural talent to survive attacks from the beastly guardian creature that can only be summed up by King Arthur as, "Dynamite!"

The other side of this, Robin and his men have all shown some natural talent in battle, not to mention an entire monologue of training, AND the ability to properly execute battle tactics both in disguise, and in drag.

So here's how the battle will go down:

King Arthur and his men will enter Sherwood Forest, only to be stopped and questioned by a band of merry men who protect the land. Both of these group's stories have reached far and wide, and as such, they've heard of one another, and for the sake of doing it, they decide to have somewhat of a friendly brawl / contest to compare what they've learned through their stories.

King Arthur will lead out the battle by sending in his knights, who will fare decently, but to no avail, at which time King Arthur suggests a battle where one of his men fights one of Robin's men at a time, allowing for a victor to be identified, and then progress to sending in the next man. As these groups both consist of multiple men, the remainders sit on the sidelines sharing stories and pieces of Brave-Sir-Robin's-Minstrels-Jerky, to which there will be much rejoicing and merriment... yay

And then it will happen: Little John and his childlike mentality will begin to lose interest in the fight, and he will begin to survey the forest for cute little forest creatures, and will discover and point out to everyone the cute little white bunny hopping off in the distance. King Arthur and his men retreat verily, and leave Sherwood Forest forever, leaving the Merry Men standing alone, as the victors.

...And then the bunny will bite Blinkin's head off.

Winner: Robin of Loxley and his Merry Men.


Again: GREAT FIGHT THIS WEEK!

Robin of Loxley and his Merry Men

They are slightly less incompitent. That, and with home field advantage, they are sure to win.

--------------------

"And that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped” -Sir Bedevere the Wise

Robin of Loxley and his Merry Men. They are deadly in fight even without the homeground advantage. I mean seriously, Will Scarlet Ohara can destroy an arrow flying straight into his heart. Flying. And Blinkin is a fierce warrior if he can identify the enemy (or the column). Lastly, let's not forget that they have the script. There's no way they can lose.

--------------------

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one...

Even though I feel Holy Grail is a better movie, the fact remains Robin and his Merry Men are (somehow) capable warriors. The Knights bumble about for most of the movie, while many of Robin's fellows (and Robin) pull some impressive feats.

Winner: Robin of Loxley, and his Merry Men.
