Scaly skin FTW.That's video game bosses for you. They can take an unusual amount of punishment. Heck, it takes a fair few bullets to take down Lara aswell.

Ah, well then Jack stands no chance... Lara will survive his 1st bullet even if he gets it to her, and then WHUPPA! Down goes Bauer!

Right relax as a cyborg mauls the mutant squirrel

Deki

I don't know Wolf - The dragon's reaction to the squirrel girl was anything but combative.:p Just munch my popcorn and think this over...

cyberwolf77

Wolf vs. squirrel. Wolf gonna win.

Deki

what are your skills again? She got some big teeth too Wolf. Retractable knuckle spikes,claws, advanced sense of smell, enhanced eyesight, can call all the squirrels down on you...
Oh, and how can you resist those hazlenut flavored lips?

cyberwolf77

Adevanced hand to hand skills, superior strength and reflexes. Razor-sharp claws, and a jaw that can bite through concrete. I don't like hazelnut.

Deki

okay Wolf, don't get defensive, i'm still thinking.

cyberwolf77

I also seek to expunge the stain upon Doom's honor.

Deki

yes that must have been tough- beaten by a then 14 year old squirrel girl...
yeah and i forgot the jumping from tree to tree- can you do that Wolf?

cyberwolf77

Since we fighting in a castle that not really relevant. Although, I could

Deki

I would pay to see that Wolf...:rolleyes:

cyberwolf77

I'm very limber when it comes to lumber.

Cyberwolf looks like the easy victor here, but looks are oft deceiving.
Squirrel Girl has many powers, most importantly hazelnut flavoured lips. The lip flavouring has little bearing on this match, it's just very important.

Squirrel Girl can out maneuver (I hate spelling that word and I feel firefox dictionary has once again let me down) Cyberwolf using her jumping and other squirrel like abilities. She has enhanced strength and other attributes, but I reckon Cyber may have her in the strength department. His claws look more formidable than hers but she can still deliver a sting.

If she called upon the squirrels I think Cyberwolf would just eat them.

But Squirrel Girl wins. Why, when it seems all is stacked up against her? Well, tournie tricksters, let me tell you.

It is well known that a werewolf's strengths and skills are of a natural sort, which is why metals such as silver can prove so fatal to their general workings. By cybering himself up Cyberwolf may have increased certain skills and gained some amounts of armour, but he has ultimately interrupted the natural skills that make him a deadly predator. Think of Wolverine when he had the adamantium stripped from him... they discovered it was holding back his natural abilities for so long, and the effect would be even worse with a werewolf such as Cyberwolf. So I think in this regard we shouldn't heap too much praise on Cyber's skills. If it was animal on animal I'd have given squirrelzy less chance, but in his diminished capacity I think wolfie is but another Doom waiting to happen.

The second point not yet mentioned is the Lesser Spotted Greater Latverian Sabre Squirrel, a prehistoric ancestor of the modern squirrel, who often stands (on it's hind feet) up to 5foot tall. They're dark of colour with developed claws, large serrated teeth and a jaw strength that can crack skulls. While off-shoots became smaller and adapted to tree-living and nut munching in order to survive attacks from predators, the LSGLSS grew larger, stronger and faster and is now quite happy leaping from a log and taking out a lone wolf that has strayed away from the pack.
Squirrel Girl will summon the LSGLSS to deal major damage to Cyberwolf while the more regular squirrels distract and confuse Wolfie. Squirrel girl will ultimately dash his brains out with her knuckle spikes and super squirrel strength.


If for some bizarre reason Cyberwolf survives.... Squirrel will just hide high, wait for him to change into a more human form and then give him the thrashing of his life.

+1 Squirrel Girl!

Very well reasoned except for the outmaneuvering part as the battle takes place in the confines of a CASTLE!!!!

Deki

does this make it a tie?

cyberwolf77

yes, it is now a tie.

Deki

well it's not over yet:)

cyberwolf77

No, it's not.

How many castles have you been in that don't have at least one large hall with plenty of air space and climbable walls? Plus she can take the battle outside and you'll be left looking at her nimble skills as you stumble around the turrets wishing you hadn't lumbered yourself with all that metal.

cyberwolf77

I have a cybernetic knee and shoulder. Also the subdermal plating over vital organs. Not that much at all.

Deki

Well Wolf isn't limited to his agility and strength alone, he does use weapons.

FewFew

A dodgey knee eh? Squick whip to that with a squirrel tale and it's sqood night sqeet prince

Squirrel has a squirrel mobile that can avoid even Doom's defenses! She can rain down the thunder while Cyberwolf tries his best to get his claws into his guns.

cyberwolf77

She would not be flying that inside the castle. I am a patient hunter.

Deki

How does she get it into castle?

FewFew

All the great fighters (and let us not be mistaken, Squirrel Girl is one of the greats) know how to get their enemy right where they want them. I figure Squirrel girl will make her way into the castle, use her superior agility to lead Cyberwolf in a merry dance that will ultimately lead to the roof where she can bring on the squirrel thunder.

If it's kept indoors the squirrels will come and end it all. This is a bit like Spider-man vs Kraven... and we all know who generally triumphs, and Cyberwolf is no Kraven!

Deki

eh, the dragon would have eaten her before she ever got in the castle.

FewFew

It's been proven that the LSGSS can take down a dragon when attacking in a pack. It's how the LSGSSs have survived for so long in such a habitat.

Besides... she's taken down DOOM and MADOK... I think she can handle a dragon.

Deki

not this dragon

I was hoping that was a link. What dragon are we on about here?

Deki

a golden grand. Older than the earth capable of shape shifting, and the normal things

Deki wrote: »

Ah, the later models are bigger and more powerful.

Deki

no i have to telll you that in this instance that is actually not the case, this is very one of a kind dragon. Sort of does his own thing. But if you'd like to think he could be defeated by a bunch of over grown squirrels that's okay. Doesn't bother the dragon if people underestimate him.

FewFew

Does the dragon hang with the castle or with Cyber?

And we're not talking about a few overgrown squirrels... we speak of an army of darkness!

cyberwolf77

Army of Darkness? I'm calling this guy in then,

Deki

Dragon does whatever he wants to at the moment,
but mainly he "hangs out " with me.:p

And we're not talking about a few overgrown squirrels... we speak of an army of darkness!

I'm not talking about a wimpy little dragon. Your squirrels bar-be-cue proof?:D

Deki

Is the second round going up tonight ?

cyberwolf77

Coming right up

Deki

Do all the matches second round have a set location?

cyberwolf77

Each match will be dropped into a random location.

Although S-girl would attempt to call her little squirrely friends I'm sure Wolf has all entrances blocked with non-gnawable seals. This was one of Dooms problems in his defeat ("confound these wretched rodents!")
Werewolves possess super human strength - can't imagine Squirrel girl would be stronger, even if she's a mutant. She has Teeth for chewing- Wolf has fangs for ripping. She has claws and those knuckle spikes, Wolf has some pretty good sized claws of his own, plus he's a cyber Wolf and has, in many places, an under-lining of metal for protection. He might get slashed a bit, but nothing vital pierced.
Only sure way to bring a werewolf down is the silver bullet deal and Squirrel girl doesn't favor guns. So it sort of comes down to who is the most vicious. Yes I do believe he just waits for her to lite somewhere,and rips her smiling little head off. Wolf avenges Doom.

:D

Though I hated the actual vote the reasoning is outstanding

Squirrel girl has good press. Thats all.

She's never really defeated anyone, it was a doom bot, I was in a different country and someone else was in my armour and I was sick and distracted andyway.

Your honor has been avenged.

Damn, I'l love to say John but it seems that Rick has superior strength, agility and intelligence. He also doesn't have the key weakness of other replicants. This guy theoretically could do away with John before McClane even realised there was something wrong. So unfortunately, I give this to......wait a minute.....this is the human tournament, so I assume that we're ignoring Ridley Scott's multiple claims that Rick is a replicant? If so then Rick against John, human -v- human, John McClane wins. If he can take down groups of terrorists packing a lot of heat then he can take down Rick. John McClane FTW.

Yeah, we going by the book where he is human

Nice use of the environment

I think I was 6 vote for McClane. Time for new one?

cyberwolf77

Goes to 7 for the win.

Deki

rats:(

cyberwolf77

Do you have any idea how hard it is to warp space and time? That's not easy to do. The next one will be even more difficult for me to arrange.

yes Wolf.

I need to look it up but I'm pretty sure the idea that Rick was a replicant has been debunked, no? I remember reading that references to the extra replicant were due to early drafts of the script, which contained more replicants tahn the released film, that were not picked up on and stamped out.

Handsome Bob

I was reading the wiki page that Cyber posted, it said that initially Ford and Scott agreed that Rick wasn't a replicant, but in later interviews Scott claimed Rick was indeed a replicant.
