Hey, y'gotta talk about something during those long trips in exotic territories. They always force you to land your boat, canoe, or airship about 50 tiles away from your destination. It ain't like those trips across half a country just fly by on foot.

Also, Ranger. Hell yeah.

Fourteen minutes to go!

Green Arrow reveals his secret identity?! Must be something pretty important.

Nice to see BM's arguments getting shot down like what should be expected from a homicidal maniac. *Teehee*

Alright Ranger in fighting mode, the beginning of the light warriors vs. other warriors match.

talse
08-26-2005, 11:09 PM
yes, it would seem something has run a foul with the other warriors, or atleast ranger is not convinced.

Skyshot

Yeah, he's shot down and shot up at the same time.

I'm not overly familiar with either of those characters -- I'd heard of them, along with Bullseye's power, but not much else -- and that conversation was still fascinating.

And no, it's not actually physically possible to shoot multiple arrows at once (well, maybe if the bow was specially designed for it, but I doubt even that), in case by some chance anyone was wondering.

Something seems weird about Ranger holding a weapon. Thus far he's been an over-gentlemanly pretty boy and now he's shooting someone expertly. It's an odd effect.

Another masterpiece. The sound effect was fun, as was Ranger standing up for archers everywhere.

I love the resurrection of old jokes. Like a joke zombie...

What powers could a torso really have, Brain?

Eh...Black Mage is terrible at debates. :D

Amazing comic it seems Ranger has a brain. As for Torso powers a radiation super power fluke could easily spread throughout the body *cough*Spider-Man*cough*. Or maybe he could get Pecs Of Steel!

I don't think Black Mage got overly pissed off about getting shot because he is so used to getting shot down.... by White Mage.... except with a hammer....

You know, RM's argument doesn't change the fact that Green Arrow looks like a complete fruit.

Man, you need to do these hero/villain faceoffs more often. How long has it been since Batman vs. Doom?

Very well done.

Quid quo pro again. That silly Black Mage and his mutilation of Latin. (However, since its a dead language, it could be argued that BM is merely ritually preparing it's corpse.)

Latin isn't dead! Look at my signature. LATIN! If latin was dead would it be in a sig?
When will he learn to Quid Pro Quo it correctly?

I swear, it reminds me of the days when RM had his own column. But as for who would win between Green Arrow and BullsEye., Neither. Superman will manifest himself upon the mortal plane and smite both of them out of existence. Then he'll want a rematch with Link. (Y'know, Bullseye should be rather easy to kill, as it would be very difficult for a sniper to miss his forehead with that target there)
Ranger has either gotten wise to our heroes antics, or dislikes anyone saying a bald guy with a weird mark on his forehead could kill a relative of his.

Or Ranger sticks mages to treetrunks with his arrows just for the fun of it.

Spiderman's interfierence aside, I say the match is far to close to call without viewing it in-real-time. But I digress.

This was a definite good episode, showcasing BM's ability to hold an intelectual conversation with RM, showing that he, in-fact, does think RM at least remotely inteligent. Or that RM is just as nerdy as BM. Either way.

And I'm thinking Ranger realized his team is being jipped. Will this lead to a battle royal between the warriors of Light and the warriors of.....Other? Only time will tell, because I plan on making him.

Anyway, keep up the awsomeness Brian.

Oh joy, Light vs Other Warrios battle would be cool. . .

Fighter vs. Berserker (I would LOVE to see that).

Thief vs. Rogue, this would be pretty funny.

BM vs. Cleric Hadoken vs. Aetheist? Hadoken IS GOD

RM vs. Ranger Ranger is quite skilled with the bow, but Ice 9. . . Hehehe. RM will prolly complain bout his "lucky arrow" that he lost if he ever gets a hold of Ranger's bow.

Hm, we could be looking at the beginnings of the first actual fight in 8-bit.

Trixbeat
08-27-2005, 03:24 AM
I'm going to go with the fact that ranger shot BM because he argued against Green Arrow winning. And don't forget, BM won every debate years ago (by default).

And Bullseye (http://vs.tcgplayer.com/db/card.asp?id=1663) doesn't?

Anyway, we'll see who would win in a VS System battle once the Justice League set is released this fall and Green Arrow's card comes out.

It's obvious. Ranger simply saw the picture of dwarf land being destroyed and put 2 and 2 together.
Ranger: gee these guys who destroyed dwarf land look alot like... hey wait a minuet.

Berserker vs. Thief would be much better. Berserker has already proved TWICE that he is more than enough for Thief.

mmm...I love Minuet in G......


Anyway. It is truly obvious. However, I'm extremely open to Brian pulling a family-guy-esque move, and having Ranger be pissed about something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT in the article.

Hm, we could be looking at the beginnings of the first actual fight in 8-bit.Were have you been? There were several fights in 8-bit; you obviously skipped a few pages.

Take this comic for instance. (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=030424)

All that building up to a 4 arrow manyshot (my favorite).

That was cool, Ranger must be nigh epic if he is able to use 4 arrows in a manyshot.

You all keep forgetting that Ranger believed the murderers of Dwarfland were not the light warriors. But he did have insight when he saw the map to rat island.

Superman will manifest himself upon the mortal plane and smite both
I'm going to go with Blackmage on this one that Bullseye would come out alive. Green Arrow isn't as paranoid as Batman and would not carry kryptonite arrows on him, but if Bullseye thought for one second a power such as Superman could exsist, he'd have a kryptonite shard he would throw at Superman's eye or something..

Though in D&D (Which was probably why RM liked GA in this conversation) archery tends to get a better slew of feats and prestige then throwing-style..

MetalPsycho
08-27-2005, 12:49 PM
I'm pretty sure Berserker is a match for just about any of the Light Warriors 1 on 1. Except BM if he gets his Hadoken up. Or Fighter, because he's immortal.

ZAKtheGeek
08-27-2005, 01:55 PM
Fighter is not immortal. However, he simply will not remain dead for more than about 5 minutes on any occasion that we've seen.

Case in point: BM has killed fighter before, but sarda revived him. Then he did it again, and... sarda revived him again.

The epic battle to do.... stuff. I seriously doubt a big battle. I mean come on, the light Warriors would lose almost instanly.

Black Mage is right on one count, at least: http://photos23.flickr.com/31156467_73cba65a56_o.jpg

Alternate realities do count, altought I guess Bullseye isn't Hawkman with a Green Lantern ring.

'Posting habits' unreformed!

Actually though Green Arrow just might have a Kryptonite Arrow at least he did in Dark Knight Returns.

Here's a thought: Ranger might be pissed off at BM cause the map depicted the earth as being round. :p Just a thought.

Skyshot
08-28-2005, 12:16 PM
Come to think of it, BM slips up a bit. How do you hock multiple loogies that all aim for the windpipe, and can't all be shot out of the air?

Also, does anyone else notice that RM argues for the mostly heroic, highly versatile person, while BM argues for the undoubtedly villainous one? I wonder what that stems from. It can't possibly be an extension of their personalities...

For some reason I'm reminded of Legolas or an Amazon from D2... and I haven't played/seen those movies/game for years...

We need more debates. And BM getting owned was a change of pace... :p

EDIT: Yeah, well, uh, I guess you're right. Drat. I meant it was nice to see BM get owned rather than Thief. He's funnier to get owned, because of his personality.

PyrosNine
08-28-2005, 02:50 PM
What? BM's been owned more times than I've gone to the dentist. The entire world that BM"s in is out to harm him.

Red Dragon 50
08-28-2005, 05:24 PM
Probably becuase BM is out to harm the world. Let's face it Fighters the only one stupid enough to think BM is a good guy.

08-28-2005, 08:52 PM
So, is anybody interested in a Black Cat/Catwoman match-up?

red mage would merely turn it into a lesb-off. i think he's got history of that.

Let's not turn this into another 'BM: YES/NO' thread, you guys. Each person has their own preferences, but this is not going to devolve into a VS. thread.
