Battle Royale - Round 2 Results

Robots and Cyborgs

1)Darth Vader VS. 8)Data

Vader moved in decisively but Data had recently rented Revenge of the Sith, he knew to get to higher ground and he got there quickly. It was surely the end for Vader, only the Sith Lord had learned from his mistakes long ago. One quick toss of his lightsaber and the android from Starfleet was without a central cortex. WINNER: Darth Vader



4)Pris VS. 5)Terminator

Pris made for the machine like every other man. Slinking her way with all her feminine sexuality. The Terminator only flinched his pointer finger, while squeezing off three rounds from a sub-machine gun. WINNER: The Terminator



3)Agent Smith VS. 11)K-9

Dropped into the Matrix, K-9 instantly analyzed his surroundings. Having been downloaded into the Matrix K-9 attempted to download as much programming as possible in order to combat Agent Smith, but in so doing he overloaded his programming. Smith made short work of the burned out pooch. WINNER: Agent Smith



2)Borg Queen VS. 7)Robocop

Robocop laid a few rounds into the Borg Queen before she adapted and developed shielding for his gunfire. It didn't take but a few minutes for the Queen to insert her nano-probes. WINNER: Borg Queen



Monsters

1)The Lord of Darkness VS. 9)Edgar

Edgar quickly moved to strike the great beast but The Dark Lord was tougher then he looked and he repelled the giant bug's attack. It took some time for the slow-moving demon to strike Edgar but eventually his massive broadsword found its mark. WINNER: The Lord of Darkness



4)Gozer VS. 5)The Indescribable Monster

The Indescribable Monster didn't understand Gozer's strange incantation until it was too late. The beasts biggest fear came to life in the form of Francis Ford Coppola. That's right. Nothing terrifies the mighty monster of the movie Krull than a legitimate movie director whose actually produced films worth watching. Gozer (in the form of Coppola) eviscerated the lame movie monster with one swipe of his script-writing-sword-pen. WINNER: Gozer the Gozarian



3)The Mummy VS. 6)Dracula

The Mummy was capable of taking down the ancient vampire but (like with Barbossa) chose to toy with the undead beast. Dracula brought a considerable amount of his own magic to the battle (unlike Barbossa). Dracula first froze the ancient beast before ripping it to shreds with his claws and fangs. WINNER: Dracula



2)Alien Queen VS. 7)The Predator

With acid resistant armor and weapons, the Predator was the best suited combatant to go head-to-head with the Alien Queen. But head-to-head isn't this warrior's style. He used camouflage technology and long-range weaponry to his advantage. The Queen was tough but eventually the barrage of plasma blasts and laser fire were too much to take. By the time she even found the hunter, she had already lost. WINNER: The Predator



Scorcers and Scientists

1)The Emperor VS. 8)Doctor Who

The Doctor has faced all manner of villain. From armies of murderous robots, to mad-scientists, to Lucifer himself. But the dark-side of the force is an entirely different matter and the Emperor doesn't fool around with pleasantries. The Emperor senses The Doctor's abilities and he goes for the kill immediately. The Doctor falls in a storm of electrical energy. WINNER: Emperor Palpatine



4)Saruman VS. 5)The Master

Saruman attempts to cripple the Master with his mind control but the Time-Lord is as powerful in psychic combat as the great wizard, if not more powerful. Instead of taking control over the Master, Saruman kneels before the power of his mind. There is a reason they call him The Master. WINNER: The Master



3)Gandalf VS. 11)Bavmorda

Both wizards cast powerful magic at each other. While Bavmorda used her powers of mutation, Gandalf focused on more directly offensive spells, causing significant damage to the witch. Gandalf struggled to resist the magical mutation but he was successful. Bavmorda was not so successful resisting massive fire-balls hurled in her direction. WINNER: Gandalf



2)Evil Willow Rosenburg VS. 7)Scorpius

Scorpius is an accomplished scientist and warrior but was no match for the direct assault of magical forces that Willow held in her command. Scorpius didn't even have a chance to make a single attack before Willow cast an incantation that burned out his central brain-stem. WINNER: Evil Willow Rosenburg



1)Master Li Mu Bai VS. 9)Hercules

Even a demi-god has his limitations. Being able to battle master-swordsmen with nothing more than a tree-branch is child's play to the Wudan warrior. Finding the weak-spot of Hercules was easy enough. With the Green Destiny at his side Master Li Mu Bai battled Hercules into submission, leaving the Greek hero defeated and shamed. WINNER: Li Mu Bai



4)Neo VS. 5)Buffy Summers

The battle of the Chosen Ones. Even in the matrix Buffy is a Chosen One and brings all her powers and abilities to bare. Neo underestimates the beautiful warrior and doesn't see the death blow coming. Boot to the head! WINNER: Buffy Summers



6)The Highlander VS. 14)Aeryn Sun

Aeryn lands several shots from her pulse pistol at long range before she realized that The Highlander wasn't that easy to put down. Luckily Aeryn is as proficient with a combat knife as she is with ballistic weapons. She matches the immortals attacks blow for blow. All appears lost for the former peacekeeper if not for the Highlander's penchant for smoldering stares at the exact wrong moment. Aeryn gets lucky with a decapitating strike. WINNER: Aeryn Sun



2)Luke Skywalker VS. 7)Conan

Both warriors have defeated the two coolest James Earl Jones characters of all time so this battle came down to the accessories. Lightsabers beat broadswords. WINNER: Luke Skywalker

Okay, I have two disagreements with this rounds results as well. Firstly, I don't really recall Gandalf doing any more impressive magic than Bavmorda. I think Bavmorda takes this one. Secondly, Highlander is no dumb brute. I think that he works his way in close and dominates Aeryn Sun from the inside. Booyah!!!

Cyber D said...

Don't disagree entirely on either. For me it came down to preferences. If Gandalf and Bavmorda are a "push" (and they were for me) I'll tip the hat to the man who took out the Balrog.

Again with Aeryn, she's a seasoned warrior and a genetically enhanced super-soldier. The highlander's a seasoned warrior but with no super-powers... just can't die.

Q said...

Immortality, seems like a pretty cool superpower to me. How exactly did she defeat him, in a battle to the death? He could just wait her out until she died naturally. Also wouldn't the highlander and aeryn have to battle in midevil scotland or 80's era america? If so her laser guns and what not would not work because of the atmosphere. Gandalf I have no problem with. How come Samual L. Jackson's character from pulp fiction wasn't in the list? He was a bad mother f'er.

"lightsabers beat broadswords"

That's gonna be my new signature.

The Highlander is only immortal if you don't cut his head off. He can be killed and that is how Aeryn did it. Also, her pulse technology weapons are not useless on earth if you accept the Farscape mythology from season 4 when they visited earth. I digress. Sam Jackson didn't make the cut b/c Pulp Fiction doesn't fall into the genre of sci/fantasy.

and she's smokin' hot! Highlander has proven to have a weakness for the ladies, and I bet it makes him leave his guard down.

Besides, Aeryn is a mortal soldier. She's had to spend her life protecting herself from all kinds of harm. The Highlander is just a specialist in keeping his head on his shoulders. I don't doubt Aeryn's ability to to get inside his guard with a swift blade.


Also, Aeryn's support team: Muppets! Highlander's support team: various mortals who always die. Muppets rule! Advantage Aeryn.

Q said...

The Highlander is a master strategist and would have come up with the wait it out strategy, no? They have to battle on his turf therefore he could hide from her for a lifetime, she is Mortal. Smoking Hot? Hmmm.

Q said...

Also when his head is cut off he doesn't die he just goes to another planet. Must say advantage Highlander.

Different strokes for different folks. Aeryn wins this one in my book.
