Welcome to the Grab a Partner (or Gap) TOC. In this MHW division we have 64 fighters waiting to go. In the first round they will be randomly paired up into team of 2. The teams will face off and half of them will be eliminated. The remaining fighters will be re-paired up in the following round until only two people are left and will fight for the championship.
During the fight, the fighters get no extra knowledge about their opponents besides what they already know, but they do know the names of who they are fighting. All characters get whatever equipment is standard for them. Team receive minimal prep time (approximately 5 minutes)

Titanium Man & Judge Death

vs.

Klaw & War Machine

Terrain:
City of Clouds
Built high above the earth, this terrain is a city made out of clouds: everything from the streets to the buildings. Buildings are several stories tall, and the streets are wide and open. The texture of the clouds is that of walking on a pile of pillows. These are also “smart clouds” that know your intentions. For example, the buildings have no doors, the clouds decrease their density at the moment you try and walk through them so you can. However, they will never allow someone to fall down to earth.

Titanium Man & Judge Death vs. Klaw & War Machine: ?????

well Titanium Man would eat War Machine, and Klaw would similarly trounce Death, so I guess it's who's better Klaw or TM.

Arent both TM and WM kinda Iron Man lites? Why would TM defeat WM so easily? Though Klaw being a creature of solid sound, Im not sure Death would have too much affect on him, the same I dont think can be said in return, so Id wager Klaw taking down Death as well.

because Titanuim Man isn't really that much "lighter" he's mostly just less smarts and less options, as I recall he always gives Iron Man a major fight. War Machine on the other hand is one of the worst "Iron Man" suits.

Well OK, saying that, since there is a good chance for Klaw to kill Death somewhat quickly, whats the chances for TM to then beat WM and Klaw together?

Ill also add in a vote for Klaw and WM, as I dont see Death being a huge threat to Klaw, meaning its going to be double team on TM, a fight I dont think TM would do badly in, though not one Id see him winning more than not as well.

I doubt that. When has Klaw worked well with people he doesn't like?

maybe, but Klaws no idiot, and he knows for now that WM is his partner, and that Death and TM are trying to kill them. That to me means hell make nice, for his own survival.....for now.

I think team TitaniumDeath can win if they can get Judge Death within HtH range of war machine so he can phase in his hand and grab a vital organ.

Otherwise I don't think they have much chance.

I'm tentatively voting for Klaw & War Machine they have the brains over the competition and I think that War Machine's superior firepower trumps Titanium Man's superior durability, especially if he gets assistance from his partner in the fight.

the only question I have that makes a tentative vote, is whether or not Judge Death has a version of the Lawgiver pistol. If he does, that's a weapon that could give his side the advantage it needs to turn the tide.

If not, and he's strictly close combat, then I see Klaw taking him out 90% of the time. He can phase like a ghost, but those sound waves will still drop him and the solid sound construct body he inhabits probably doesn't have a heart to squeeze to death.

Nope, he does not.

I'm voting Klaw/WM too. I'm impressed Judge Death got this far, I honestly put him at maybe a L-HW.

I'll also vote Klaw/War Machine.

Klaw and Titanium Man will win their matchups but Klaw will be practically untouched while Titanium Man will be hurting a bit.

Klaw might be able to beat a full strength Titanium Man so I think he'll take one that's just been in a rough fight pretty handily.

I pretty much agree with the above

vote:Klaw/War Machine
