reckon a lot of these dudes are pretty big egoists (vader, wolverine, rambo/rocky, batman) who wd go straight for each other and the most threatening (pred, alien, hulk) - chances of mutual obliteration of these dudes rucking might mean a sleeper (xena, sonic) cd take it
― cozwn, Saturday, 3 January 2009 00:52 (fifteen years ago) link
it would definitely be awesome if sonic won
― s1ocki, Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:01 (fifteen years ago) link
It doesn't matter who wins because Galactus will eventually show up and eat the whole planet, right?
― Nate Carson, Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:02 (fifteen years ago) link
theoretically he could just in around in circles really fast while everyone fought and then just jump on the head of the last man standing
― s1ocki, Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:03 (fifteen years ago) link
I think he does have a shot at it.

if this is a single-elimination tournament (which it should be), it obv depends on the match-ups. someone should do a draw or something.
if it's just a big ruckus the hobbit would win due to cowardice, and running far far away while everyone else kills each other.

oh hey yeah lex raises an important point, is it just a fight fight or a tournament?

Ruckus vs tennis tournament: established really early on:
Is this to be a fight involving all these dudes at once, like the great outdoor fight?

xp yeah i'm imagining it taking place in like a grassy forest clearing, no real obstacles or things to hide behind in the fight area, and no spectators

oh then my vote would be for baggins, except it says i've already voted even though i don't remember clicking on this thread before. it must have been when i came home from NYE completely fucked. who knows what i voted for!
(baggins would still have time to run away as no one else would focus on him at the start (and he'd be invisible anyway))
― lex pretend, Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:13 (fifteen years ago) link
i think if you leave the field of play you'd have to be disqualified. and then killed.
― dugong.jpg (jabba hands), Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:14 (fifteen years ago) link
it could be like an outdoor area with buildings around and stuff for maximum tactics
― s1ocki, Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:15 (fifteen years ago) link
vader could sense he was there
or xxp
― k3vin k., Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:15 (fifteen years ago) link
If jabba hands' scenario was taking place, surely there'd also be rules against using weapons?
― Keep Carmody and Carry On (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:18 (fifteen years ago) link
I mean, if we took this down to brass tacks, how many have experience in straight-up hand-to-hand combat? Batman, Hulk, Rocky...
Unless you manage to get a majority vote to change the rules in the regular daily morning meeting of remaining participants of course.
You are all very persuasive, when thread moves fast I wobble here and there & stay on the fence. Will consider reasonable paypal offers for my unused vote.

i was thinking more of movie hulk tbh forgotten that marvel hulk was basically unfuckwithable altho still aliens are damn fast i was thinking like tactical throat slashing maneouvers but would he just regenerate too quickly.
that's the third time somebody regenerate man alien wouldn't even penetrate the hulks skin unless he uses some kind of super acid injector bite and he could hold it for like 10 minutes with hulk standing still(alien too dumb to tell vader to help him with that so nope) and then alien would probably die like a bee that used his stinger. anyway iirc hulk has some resistance to telepathy from being dumb himself although vader could probably figure out how to crack it if he could hang around long enough. and even then he would just be able to hold him still he probably can't bring enough 'force' to bear on hulk's throat to come close to choking him he would have to slice into hulk's neck with his saber slow like a welder and hope hulk doesn't snap out of it. this is after vader getting shredded by other people we're assuming are already dead. not happening.

Yeah. But the whole thing ends on the side of good. Darth will certainly win a few rounds, but he eventually dies and Mario always returns for another game
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:52 (fifteen years ago) link
how many lives would mario need is a damn good question
― missile loaded | com mode engaged | its a go (tremendoid), Saturday, 3 January 2009 01:54 (fifteen years ago) link
low three figures at least

I think mario shd at least get the option of a star at some pt here

lol at mental image of mario running into the hulk while the star music is playing and the hulk going "koopip," flipping upside down and falling off the earth
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 3 January 2009 02:01 (fifteen years ago) link
that would make a fun puzzle actually, make a huge mural of this fight frozen in time exactly .003 seconds after the bell rings except there's a mario star grinning somewhere in the picture Waldo-style, then give people two minutes to answer the thread question
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 3 January 2009 02:03 (fifteen years ago) link
we cd probably commission the donuts on heads guy to mock tht up?
― cozwn, Saturday, 3 January 2009 02:05 (fifteen years ago) link
ok actually if mario gets a star and sonic is still alive it actually really improves sonic's chances because I'm pretty sure he's the only participant who could outrun star mario, and presumably once the star wears off a great deal of the other competitors will have been eliminated as per Whiney above

Batman would take a bracket, if we're doing it that way - he'd find a way to beat vader in the final. Actually, so might picard!
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Saturday, 3 January 2009 02:11 (fifteen years ago) link
The thing with sonic is that all even with the rings and the running, eventually he's left against SOMEONE - I guess sonic has a gun now but rly who here is he going to beat with only two left?
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Saturday, 3 January 2009 02:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Wife&I have an rather large internal wall we're gonna raze in a redecoration project within the end of january. You are welcome to stop by & make Tom's mural a reality ppl! We will take photos, and auction the debris off for charity.
(NB haven't cleared any of this with wife yet.)

Haha.
Do you think hulk might just shrink really small if hit by star mario, kart style?
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Saturday, 3 January 2009 02:16 (fifteen years ago) link

When 3 are left it is not improbable 2 of them will get all "this is personal kid", kill each other simultaneously and leave the 3rd character laughing by default I think?
― anatol_merklich, Saturday, 3 January 2009 02:20 (fifteen years ago) link
If Hulk got hit by star Mario he'd probably turn back into Bruce Banner, then if nobody makes him angry he's dead in no time.
Dracula is fucked if this takes place during the daytime.

that's lightning. but a good question is does mario get access to his kart

If he does, then Batman should have access to the Batmobile.

― snoball, Saturday, 3 January 2009 11:52 (fifteen years ago) link
and even that would be a bit silly, because to even it up Batman would have to be in the Batwing.
I've taken it into serious contention and... Vader would look like winning, using the force to focus on the stronger fighters (Hulk would be hard to take down for example) while Sonic looks too easy to take on, is forgotten about, and runs incredibly fast at him in his back, knocking him over for someone to take him out, like when in WWE Battle Royales someone spends ages taking out the big motherfucker and someone just dropkicks them over the side before they get noticed.
Then Predator's just too awesome to be stopped. Predator win.
