The fastest I can find a video for Godou is on Friday, when I go off to a cafe. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Quote from Mustika
Conan The Barbarian
Gregor Clegane, The Mountain
Reason: Aaay tough one this. Both are warriors with around the same body size as well, also armory. But Gregor's brutality in killing is more convincing, it'll give me nightmare forever with that head bash from ze video. Even though he would be easily outsmarted by Conan, he'll keep stand until he kills the opponent (seen clearly with his match against Oberyn Martell [third YT link]). Huge sorry, Conan, you'll keep live in my heart though. <3


I'll raise you this quote from Conan the Barbarian's Wikipedia page:

"He also has incredible stamina, enabling him to go without sleep for a few days. In "A Witch Shall be Born", Conan fights armed men until he is overwhelmed, captured, and crucified, and goes a night and a day without water, but still possesses the strength to pull the nails from his feet, then to hoist himself into a horse's saddle and ride ten miles."

I'm only basing this on the bio, but it seems like The Mountain is just a brute who excels in nothing more than his physical strength, and in this fight I feel like this strength is matched or even outclassed by Conan. It sounds to me like they can both fight in prolonged periods of time, but even if Conan CAN do it, I bet he can finish the fight earlier by applying his finesse. Now assuming Conan's physical power and stamina don't exceed, but rather equal that of the The Mountain's, Conan's skills with a sword is described as "without peer", and he is also a talented strategist. All the odds go to Conan. I kind of plan to watch GoT sometime in the future so I'm not going to watch the video, but brutality != strength.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I'm right.

Can't vote for The Mountain since I'm the one who nominated him.

Adam Jensen
Isaac Netero

The Handyman
The Predator

This one's hard. The Handyman represents the manifestation of fear, but so far I have never seen the Predator in terror so it's hard to see which one will win. The Predator is a fearless combatant that can not only cloak himself, but can ambush anybody when at least suspect it. The Handyman thrives in darkness and within dreams of his victims. I'm officially calling it a tie here.

Quote from Mustika
I'll leave the Handyman vs Predator match away by now because I'm being questioned with the fitting arena situation that will give a fair fight between these two. Because if the arena is really dark, then it'll definitely give advantage to the Handyman but when the arena's really bright, the Predator will be easily win this due to Handyman's weakness of lights :/


If a proper setting can't be arranged, assume the 3-Round method: first round advantage to Pred, second advantage to Handy, 3rd on flat normal ground like Final Destination (and by the third they'd have both learned about themselves already).

Deliver when you can, but as to how many will see that's up to you.

This is bullplop. I made no such rule. You can vote on something you nommed, you can even vote for them because you nommed them. For no reason. But of course, an explanation is always recommended but not necessary. I've voted on some of the noms I made in the other brackets and I always explain, so yeah.

Quote from Mustika
I'm thinking to skip Rand al' Thor vs Lucas match too since I have no idea how PSI powers actually work on Mother game. Does it possess like Jean Grey's power or something? lol


You know, I'm not sure myself, which is why I linked the Smash videos too. I think the PSI is just whatever he is capable of physically, as seen in this level up chart

Oh, then I nom...
Light Yagami
Phoenix Wright
Look at what Mustika posted. I think that he can take light as long as he doesn't get cocky. I mean, he has survived a volt gun and a fire hydrant knocked on his head, so...
Phoenix takes this. And also, If I remember correctly, he has kicked down a door in one of his cases. And that is impressive.

Youmu Kanpaku - Armin's a more intellectual type with little to no strength. Against a half-phantom swordsman, he doesn't stand a chance.
Armin Arlert

Conan The Barbarian - In the case of both are power-type, the one who's smarter than the other prevails. And thus, Conan.
Gregor Clegane, The Mountain

Adam Jensen
Isaac Netero - Everything Smile said.

The Handyman - To catch a prey, a hunter must first begin preparations. They also need information on their prey, like their habits and weakspots and shit. And to add on top off it, the Handyman ain't your run-of-the-mill prey. Thrown into an arena, the clueless Predator will fall.
The Predator

==================

Kusanagi Godou - Now this one is tough. Zaraki's pretty stupid strong, he can pretty much brute force his way through everything. Though, his muscle headedness might be the cause of his fall. 4 of Godou's incarnation, Gale, Warrior, Youth, Sword and Ram is out because these needed his comrades to assist him with it. Well, Zaraki ain't a god either so the Sword won't work on him. Godou's hesitation on not wanting to kill won't really work either; he's going for victory, and if his victory condition is to kill, then so be it. I'd say it's very, very close.
Kenpachi Zaraki

Light Yagami
Phoenix Wright - This one is actually pretty easy imo. Light has never actually killed by himself, as he always uses the Death Note. Phoenix, however, having handled a few murder cases, should have some ideas on how to kill. There's also their body strength, in which Light has a pretty weak constitution compared to Phoenix. The Death Note won't be any help here, at all. It's just Phoenix and Light, it's pretty easy to see who wins.

The Handyman
The Predator

[Handyman is immortal, can sprout numerous arms that the Predator will have to deal with and eventually lose to and will break down. Every sentient thing has fear and the Predator is no exception.]

==================

Rand al' Thor
Lucas

[Ok, I don't understand how Lucas trumps al'Thor. Please state why, coz I dunno.

Rand can do lots of shit since he is the Dragon Reborn. He can create gateways, weave the one power (which is basically fire, earth, water, air and spirit) to powers and manifest them into spells (like the gateway, constricting the opponent in a cocoon of air, mixing spirit and water weaves to heal himself, etc.) and can create balefire (it literally burns a person's entire existence away from reality)]

Youmu Konpaku
Armin Arlert

- Despite being the weakest in his group I feel he would win. Pretty even fight though imo.

Conan The Barbarian
Gregor Clegane, The Mountain

- I'm not sure if I have to state why I think Conan would win. I just do.

Adam Jensen
Isaac Netero

- As cool as Jensen is I think Netero is on a whole different level.

The Handyman
The Predator

- He's an immortal god monster.

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

Rand al' Thor
Lucas

- Lucas in Mother was primarily a support based character. Since the listing states from Mother and not SSB I have to immediately give the win to Rand al' Thor. Even with his SSB powers though I think Rand would win.

Frank West
Robert Mccall

- Robert Mccall is a goddamn badass. Frank West is just a survivalist. Frank West could kill a few crazy people and more than a few zombies, but Robert Mccall is a trained asskicker.

Kusanagi Goudou
Kenpachi Zaraki

- Close fight but after reading about both characters I have to give my vote to Kenpachi.

Light Yagami
Phoenix Wright

- Phoenix ain't no bitch in physicality and he certainly ain't no bitch in manipulation. Meanwhile Yagami doesn't know Wright's name.

Whoa. Pretty even? I know nothing about both characters but from the looks of everyone else in the room it seems like this was a rather one-sided affair. Care to elaborate on what makes you think this to be pretty even?

Conan The Barbarian ----> My man. He has fought and defeated people much stronger than him before. Gregor was evenly matched by Sandor Clegane, who is basically Conan-lite.
Gregor Clegane, The Mountain

Adam Jensen
Isaac Netero

The Handyman
The Predator ----> Going against the tide on this because I think the rest of the Predators will show up as they do in the comic cooks when they feel their guy is being outmatched.

Very well then, I'll nom the rest with:

The Handyman
The Predator
Reason: Being immortal at best, hmm. Also he can just spawn bigger hands to beat literally everyone. Kinda doubting his animal instinct bit, which is why I think this would be an even match between the two for several minutes before Handyman's winning.

==================

Rand al' Thor
Lucas
Reason: I found this summary that made me convinced as to why I picked this guy in the end (aside of what others stated up there)
[spoiler=]"Rand is ta'veren, meaning that he twists the pattern around himself, generally unintentionally, manipulating probabilities and causing unlikely things to occur. Like Perrin, and unlike Mat, his twisting of the pattern has positive results in about equal measure to the negative results. His ta'veren nature often draws important people to him, and tends to win their loyalty, or at least forces them to submit to him."

Source: http://www.comicvine.com/rand-althor/4005-57750/[/spoiler]
I think Lucas is also a powerful PSI user, but I'm not sure if he really is that skillful in combat - which is just my opinion. Still, they would probably make a good match for me.
