    Solo is a ladies man, this would be his fatal downfall, he wouldn't even notice as she sliced his throat.

    Sarah all the way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    Damn. I'd be more of a fan of Han Solo than Sarah Connor, but she's a much meaner fighter, most likely a better shot, she'll use whatever she needs to get the job done.
    She also knows how to manipulate people etc... even if Han managed to beat her in a straight fight she'd most likely play dead and then jam a screwdriver in his weiner when he goes to check her out.

    +1 Sarah

    Han Solo, cause he has THE HAWTNESS.
    (if u guys think it's not a valid reason...oh well...:()
    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Sarah Connor because a) She survived more than one brush with super advanced killer cyborgs and b) I reckon Sarah will be able to suck Han in with her lady charms.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    3-1 Sarah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Gonna go with Sarah. They are both handy at gun totin', but Han has never proved himself as a hand to hand combatant.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    I think Han takes this. He's been exposed to the opposite sex before and never lost sight of his desire to keep on living. He had been living dangerously before his star wars adventures and managed to come out on top. He's no newcomer to fighting. (And Tira - I think you have a most valuable reason;):D)

    Han Wins.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    4-2 Sarah.
    Apparently Mr. Solo is starting a comeback.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Im gonna go with Han. He may not be a trained force user, but i do think he has the luck of the irish force about him. He has luck and blasters and such on his side.

    This is a very even fight. Both are good shots, have good tactical skills and are good in hand to hand combat (I know that Hans skills have never been proven but I would imagine he has skills. You can't be a smuggler hanging around Mos Eisley without learning a few tricks.)

    In the end I think this would come down to desire and the will to live. Han has proven that he is a born survivor and he loves to live. On the other hand Sarah's desire to help the world and protect her son is second to none.

    However, as with with the Clash of the Titans, I'm going to assume that this contest takes place in an alternate universe. Therefore no john and Han shoots first!

    TL;DR Han to win, with some great reasoning (If I do say so myself)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Well 24 hours have elapsed and we have a tie. After a random draw of voters Tirabaralla now holds the swing vote. She has eight hours to decide if she would like to change her vote or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,422 ✭✭✭Tirabaralla


    I haz the power, OMG! LOL

    I just wanna say this: this Han Solo guy appeared in the first movie i ever saw at the cinema...
    so no way I am gonna change my vote.
    Can Han win, plz?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Han has won the match! Thank you Miss Tira. next match coming soon.

    As proven by Indy - Guns beat Swords. Phantom to win this round.

    The Phantom uses sharpshooter skills, shoots with pistol to take Conan out from afar, bullet through the heart.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    Brain over brawn, Phantom easily ... :)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    3-0 Phantom


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Phantom...range will usually beat short ranged weapons. Especially when its with guns.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    After being informed Conan's shield is no Captain America shield...Phantom

    Sometimes brawn beats brains and Conan has got the former in abundance caving in Phantoms skull with a camel punch after 'stealthing' it up with camo paint and some expert costumed espionage. The Phantom may be the man who cannot die, but Conan knows what's best in life.

    I'm going to go for The Ghost Who Walks in this one. He can shoot Conan many times and he's just way cooler.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    6-1 Phantom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Phantom for me.

    Guns > sword


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Phantom dominates Conan 7-1. Next match coming up.

    John Rambo sees his future self, this induces a flashback of 'nam'...one second later Spartan shoots him in the head with pistol recovered from the war museum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Spartan was hardcore, but I think Rambo has more experience killing things. That and Spartan is probably a bit cold n' stiff (IBR) from being frozen.
    So I'll just about side with Rambo today.

    And 'tisn't many can say that! ;)

    Aye, Rambo strikes me as more hardcore tbh.

    John Spartan? What a chancer, didn't even get a sequel!

    Nam is hell man, Nam is hell.

    Rambo to punch Spartan's face off, and then resurrect him and gun him down with 6 different types of high velocity ammo tipped with all sorts of pain (armor piercing pain;incendiary pain; explosive pain; killer crab pain... the list goes on.)

    +1 one one one there's only one John Rambo!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    :rolleyes: Wow! How could I argue with that? John Rambo all the way:D


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    4-1 Rambo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    John Rambo shoves those three seashells up Spartans ass and throws him back into the cryo tube. Ain't no messing with guerrila warfare, hand-to-hand combat, killer archery and snake charming... what's Spartan got? Knitting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭gamblitis


    Rambo would creep up behind spartan and break his neck before he knew what was happening to him!

    Rambo +1.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    6-1 Rambo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Rambo to sneak up on Spartan and choke him to death.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Rambo dangles Spartan from the ceiling with a beautifully knitted scarf. Next fight coming up folks.

    Not being a Supernatural fan i had to read up on Dean, a formidable guy it seems, but i dunno...McClane always finds a way to survive and overcome the odds! Gonna give this one to the man with a constant headache.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,082 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    McClane beat the Germans multiple times. Winchester has nothing on him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    I hate to say it but Winchester just seems to be too good at what does, which is a few levels up from McClane's usual M.O. Winchester gets my vote I'm afraid to say! :mad:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    2-1 McClane.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    McClane.He always finds a way and is uber resourceful


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    They couldn't stop Mcclaine with a state of the art fighter jet, so neither will this upstart.

    Dean Winchester

    He has gone up against Gods and survived. Also, he carries a massive collection of weapons with him at all times.

    If you can read this, you're too close!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    This is a very tough call, but.. I'm going to go with McClane.

    Right, so, normally I'd be all up for the comparing the bad guys etc, but Dean is less the champion of his own survival and more the beneficiary of some covenient plot twists. This is one of the main problems I had with Buffy in the earlier battles, she usually doesn't out-fight her superior opponent, she just finds a lucky amulet that makes the monster fall over.
    Dean usually goes into a fight against a big baddie, gets knocked on his ass, the baddie goes for his brother and then when distracted Dean somehow manages to shoot him with liquid love or something.

    Sam & Dean > McClane & Samuel L Jackson, but that's not what we're debating here. Dean is only a world beater when he has his bro in tow.

    McClane on the other hand keeps fighting, keeps getting hurt and gets genuinely hurt. Dean goes through the fires of hell with a wince while McClane steps on some broken glass and we all feel his pain... yet he keeps going on. In Supernatural world McClane would probably be some sort of glowing invincible god for the amount of punishment he takes and keeps going, but Dean in McClane world would get smacked about a bit and be out for the count.

    McClane doesn't have any weak spots or buried bones that Dean can take advantage of, nor does McClane have the cockiness that comes with the belief that you're an invincible supernatural entity. McClane would take cover, get tactical superiority, fight back and win.

    McClane works best as a lone wolf and Dean is just all alone.

    You can possibly compare literally going through the fires of hell with stepping on broken glass.

    I'll take the broken glass please


    McClane has weak spots, his failed marriage,borderline alcoholism, and anger issues to mention but a few.

    Dean is a new breed, quick, young and totally unflapable, He has seen things that McClane could never understand. Dean won't be phased one bit by an aged drunk McClane, esp after all he has been through. fighting a man would be a refreshing easier challange.

    This fight would come down to who is fastest and most clever, Dean gets my vote for this reason.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    5-3 McClane


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    I vote for McClane, he has the experience, proven himself resourceful and he's come out on top so far. He doesn't give up. McClane is comfortable in his skin-he's accepting of his failings. Overconfidence in self and underestimating McClane will do Winchester in.
