Fighting Game TOC: Lightweight Division: Round 1, Match 4

[icymatt]

Welcome to my Fighting Game Tournament of Champions! Here, we pit the greatest champions from all sorts of fighting games against eachother and see who comes out on top! If you've participated in any other TOC before, you know how the basic rules work. However, for my tournament, fighters start about 20 feet from eachother. Remember, only vote for the one you honestly think would win in the conditions given (no fanboyism!), and if you need any information on any of the challengers, JUST ASK. Now to begin.

Talim(Soul Calibur 2)

Vs.

Talbain(Darkstalkers)

Randomly selected Terrain:
Military Installation(Street Fighter series, etc.)
An airstrip located somewhere in the Southwest surrounded by a chain-link fence. Huge stationary jets and hangers dot the entire complex. Normally bustling with activity, the area is now completely abandoned, a perfect place for a brawl.

Results:
Ling Xiaoyu vs. Sean: Ling Xiaoyu
May vs. Cham-Cham: Cham-Cham
Hibiki Takane vs. Fei-Long: Hibiki Takane
Talim vs. Talbain: ????

FIGHT!

NOOOOO! Don't make me vote against Talim, she's too cute to die!

She's scarily good with her tonfas, but she's fighting a Werewolf here! And she doesn't have any silver. Game over girly.

wow, how did talbain end up as a lw?

talim is frightening in the hands of a great player... but personally i don't think there are any lw darkstalkers.
bulleta maybe, but she's armed to the teeth. that'd end most of the lw fights anyways.


guess i'll vote for talbain.

[Rando]

I vote for Talbain also.

In my opinion Jon is the most dangerous thing in this division. His background makes him both superhumanly powerful and highly skilled. His mechanics are also very strong, he is good in short, medium, and long game, has good equalibrium, a good ground and air game, his only real weakness is a lack of a projectile, which me makes up for by being able to walk under them (as he walks on all fours).

[Q99]

Of course, the all-fours thing only really helps in-game, it's not too useful if you consider a realistic fight where they can just aim lower.


I'll reserve my vote for a bit, Talim does have tonfa with blades on them as well as being quite fast and thus has a better chance than most.

Talim-0
Talbain-3

Please note: Tonight is the last night for voting in matches 1-4. Tomorrow morning I will post Match 5, and all voting in 1-4 will be closed. So, if you haven't voted yet, get it done tonight!

[Rokk_Krinn]

Traditionally speedy-skilled characters have a good shot against powerhouses. Unfortunately for Talim, in this case the powerhouse is also blindingly fast and skilled. She'd better hope that Talbain's more moral aspect is in control or she's chow.

Vote: Talbain
