OOC Character Battle--Wrapping up T25

Two more eliminations!

Jayda v Madrox
Turns out, giant fighting robots are hard to stop via stabbies. Winner: Madrox via rawr metal man

John v. Winston
Winston's got some moves, but John's hide is just too tough for some relatively small explosions to take him down. Winner: John via lizardman. Winston is Eliminated

Zero v. Zoe
Our first ever use of the 'ignore Will' tiebreaker--Zero is able to just outlast Zoe in the belltower to come up with the victory. Winner: Zero via One. Zoe is Eliminated



This weeks' matchups!
ELIMINATION MATCH
Nina "Trauma Pack" Madaraki (0-1) v. Calvin "Cyber" Strong (0-1)

Location: The sewer system, 8 PM
Nina knows Calvin inside and out; will that be enough here?

ELIMINATION MATCH
Juma "Shaman" Ngomo (0-1) v. Anita "Shiver" Fernandez (0-1)

Location: Binary's Mars Colony, 4 AM
In space, no one can hear you eliminated.

ELIMINATION MATCH
Niles "Artificer" Radcliff (0-1) v. Talia Farnsworth (0-1)

Location: A spooky house, charred and with gaping holes from explosions, high noon.
The house is made of wood, if that matters.

Vote early, vote often!

Juma's strategy: Herd Anita into the most cramped quarters he can find to reduce her mobility. He'd work his way through whatever forms he could to make that happen, bulking up to block doors or slimming down to be agile if needed. If he can land a few hits, he can probably incapacitate her from pain if not damage.

Talia's strategy: FLAME ON! Immolate and get some height by either i) flying through a hole in the roof or ii) burning a hole in the roof to fly through. At that point she'd torch the building if Niles is still inside, otherwise bake him from altitude.

Anita's strategy - Stay mobile, keep firing. Drop her extra sensory if she gets into hand to hand so a single hit won't knock her out (though pain will still take her down fast even w/o her senses extended). Her extrasensory makes her really, really accurate so Juma would have to have pretty good cover to get close.

Cal's strategy would utilize the fact that he can see in the pitch dark or near-pitch-dark of the sewers. He would download a map of the london sewer system, and use it to avoid rushes of Nina's little bug-things, that is if a spread of electricity won't take care of them. Offensively, he'd just take a shot at her, which shouldn't be that hard given that Nina isn't known for her physical prowess, and that the sewer doesn't offer him any visual problems.

I'm going to give JUMA the edge over Anita, as the lack of open spaces works to his benefit.

NINA. In the darkness, All Cal would hear was the skittering of tiny legs coming for him- and he couldn't hope to zap all of them.

ANITA. In a confined Mars Mustant Superiority hostel, Shiver is going to know where Juma is coming from pretty easily. Juma is tough and fast, but i'm going with touch over smell and hearing here.

TALIA. Yeah, the house is going up in flames. and Sorry, Niles, there's not much getting around that.

I try not to post arguements here, but this is where i need to point out that, like I said in my strategy, Cal has night vision.

Strategy: Nina is well acquainted with how Calvin's cybernetics work, so her probes would have an advantage in deactivating them quickly if they could attach to Calvin.

And if they can't? Well they're in a pretty enclosed area. How long can Calvin manage to keep away from her deadly flying pets?

I'll grant Cal has night vision, I missed that.

I'll still put my money on Nina, though. It'll be like the scarab rush in The Mummy. :)

I'm gonna give CAL the call over Nina; just because of the see-in-the-darktitude, and the idea he may be able to charge the entire room...
