The new season (and before that) of Deadliest Warrior got me thinking "It'd be fun to analyze two video game characters and see who would come out on top in a fight." So I figured it'd be a fun community activity for us to do.
The rules.
1. I pick the match ups, but don't be afraid to make suggestions.
2. Characters must be from the same genre, no suggestions saying to pit Bub & Bob against Kratos.
3. If this descends into a pointless flamewar I won't hesitate to ask a Mod to lock.
4. Posts should fall into the debate perimeters I'll (sorta) set up shortly.
With that out of the way here's how things will work. After I name the two competitors your task will be to give detailed points explaining your sides superiority. There will be four distinct (subject to change) areas where you'll need to convince me that the character you're siding with is better.
These are:
Weapons: Just how effective, and superior are the weapons you're character uses to his opponents? (Be sure to include things like effective range and radius)
Armor: How would their defensive equipment stand up against the other sides weapons?
Combat Prowess: How skilled at using the weapons they have is your side?
Endurance: How much of a beating can your side withstand without their armor on?
The entire process will take one week. Monday I will announce the new match-up. Tuesday will be used to debate the Weapons area. Wednesday for the Armor area. Thurday for Combat Prowess. Friday for Endurance. Saturday will be an unused day and Sunday will be the announcement of the results.
Winners will be decided using this line picker [http://mytexttools.com/Random-Line-Picker.html], if a side wins the debate in an area they are awarded 2 points, and a tie results in 1 point for both sides. These points determine how many lines they get in the line picker, one line per point. I will run the picker 10 times and which ever side ends up with the most picks is the winner.
Without further adue Round one math-up is:
The Lone Wanderer (Fallout 3) VS. The Nerevarine (Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind)
Both are heros of their own world and have access to some pretty powerful weapons and armor, who will come out on top even I can't fathom.
