The Arena - (Samus Aran vs. Megaman)

CURRENT MATCH: Samus Aran vs. Megaman

PREVIOUS MATCHES:
Korra vs. Roronoa Zoro
Batman vs. The Black Widow

First off; this seemed like the best place for this, despite the range of characters/teams that may be appearing in the debates. It's also more structured than something I'd normally consider a game, hence it not being placed in the games forum.

So what is "The VS. Arena"?

Simply put, I'll post a matchup of characters and/or teams and you all get to debate which one would win in a fight. In these debates I might referee here and there or nudge back a little, but I won't argue one way or another. In addition to the names being stated, I'll also state a few other factors.

SETTING: Where the fight is taking place.
ERA: The version of the character really. "Man of Steel" Superman is considerably different from "Silver Age" Superman.
BLOODLUST: "On" means that the character/team will fight with everything they've got from the start, heedless of any moral values or honor codes they may have. "Off" means they'll fight as they would.

After three days, I'll decide the winner based on which side presented the better argument (and I'll be unbiased. I might be a Doctor Doom fan, but if he goes up against Doctor Strange and Strange has better arguments made in his favor, he'll win).

Also, if you have suggestions for a matchup you'd like to see, PM them to me. As long as you don't suggest something horrendously one-sided like "Megatron vs. Papa Smurf", it'll likely be used.


So to start things off with a fairly simple matchup:

KORRA (Avatar The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra) vs. RORONOA ZORO (One Piece)


SETTING: In a forest with a small stream running through the middle of it.
ERA- Korra: Start of the series (has firebending, waterbending, earthbending, but no airbending or energybending).
ERA- Zoro: End of Skypeia arc (can do flying slashes).
BLOODLUST: Off

Well, let's see how this goes. Go to it, people

 

Again though: Keep in mind that due to settings this is Korra at the start of the series; she's also arguably at her most overconfident and inexperienced in anything beyond a training fight.

Just saying.

 

Actually her fire, water, and earthbending is pretty good at the start, considering she was pulling off all three when she was a little kid. She's impressed enough of the Order in those areas. Its her fighting expertise in anything beyond stadium training that's lacking.

wait are we talking about "the legend of korra" here

Yes, the Korra from Legend of Korra.

That's Zuko who was a firebender of varying allegiances. This is Zoro from One Piece.

 

It's a case of being pretty good in multiple areas vs. being very good in a single area.

 

Honestly; I'm handing this one to Zoro. More people called it for Korra, but again; this is judged on debate and argument, and Trainer Ebony put out a fairly solid argument as to why Zoro would win.

THE NEXT MATCH IS...

BATMAN vs. THE BLACK WIDOW​

Setting: An empty warehouse with crates and metal trailers scattered about. Windows are only in the ceilings and all doors are closed.
Era - Batman (Version and skillset of the character at the end of Batman Begins.)
Era - Black Widow (Version and skillset of the character at the end of The Avengers.)
Bloodlust: ON


(To re-iterate; bloodlust being "ON" means that both characters will fight with lethal intent, going all out from the very start of the match.)

Go to it

 

In short, Batman and Black Widow will be fighting all out from the start, regardless of any codes or ethics they may normally hold.

 

I...am just gonna call this one a draw. Pooey. *was hoping for more posts/debating*
