Well then, let's have Godzilla fight the Juggernaut. WHo wins?
Godzilla is over 200 feet tall, probably more than 400 feet long and has awesome atomic-breath powers and all that. Juggernaut can create a powerful forcefield with his helmet that can smash through almost anything. Description:

Godzilla was smashing the heck out of Tokyo. He destroyed it completely then swam to the U.S. The U.S. army tries to stop him but it seems nothing hurts him so Juggernaut says "Hey Greenie, NOTHING CAN STOP THE JUGGERNAUT!!!" then Godzilla is angered and starts trying to step on the marvel character. Who wins.

Well, while Godzilla has a weight of most probably over 8,000 tonnes so he could probably step a force of 50,000 tonnes right?

Ummmmmm no. And i dont see how thats a relevant response.

In X-men 3 the last stand. Vinny Jones(juggernaut) could basically ony smash through things and punch/kick very hard. No force fields to speak of.

I want to make a Zohan vs. thread...but I dunno who would be a good match.

So, who can mess with the Zohan?

Bulletproof Monk.

You asked for it! 😛

Kickass, I'm looking forward to this. Actually, no I'm lying, I only like watching the cinematics. I only really like playing the FPS games by LucasArts, like Jediknight 2 and Jedi Academy, those were really good. The Force Unleashed looked really sweet, but wasn't on PC...

Anyway, this is proabably one of their best cinematics ever.

If you guys are into this, as RJ probably will be, you should download the highres trailer. It looks 100x better.

Looks awesome. Too bad I'm not a PC gamer. I prefer console.

I wanted to ask everyone here if we should amend Rule #4 from the MVF Rules.

People have been PMing me about how, lately, people have been breaking rule number 4 by making threads pitting more than 3 vs. 3, and I wanted to see who here agrees or disagrees.

I would agree with a change.

I think the biggest problem is that people are not specific as to the conditions in most threads. Example, SST vs. ST. We need an exact number of combatants, and also which ST are allowed.

The number of combatants in a thread, IMO, is irrelevant, it gets confusing when we dont know if this is allowed, or that is allowed, and are forced to guess because the thread starter did a shit job starting the thread.

Initially I thought that we should disallow group threads, but they will be fine if the thread starter pays attention and is detailed.

I think an equally large problem is when people take the original conditions of the thread and change it frequently at every point at which they realise that they cannot prove their argument to be valid, until the thread suits their desired outcome whilst ignoring the vast flows of logic and evidence/arguments to the contrary.
And when that fails they rig one side to lose only because they have set an impossible task for the other character/characters..

We know this technique as "Gimping".

...I didn't notice we have a social thread...

Yeah but someone else did.

I agree with you that the thread starter should cement the rules, scenario, weapons, abilities, etc, etc, with in the first few posts of the thread. It would be very infuriating if everyone automatically changed the conditions of the thread at random intervals.

I should amend the rules to make this known, yes?

I just amended rule #7 in the MVF Rules.

I deleted the original rule about "no Star Wars fights" because I have been contradicting my own rules by allowing them to be in here, and, I figured, it's not that big of a deal.

Why not just close the thread right away if the rules for conditions/limitations are not met?

I'll do just that, then.

If the thread starter does, in fact, set the conditions of the match in only one post, and then goes away for, say a day, and then returns to an active thread with 3 to 4 pages, then it'll be too late. The match is underway.

Another question....Lets say someone starts "Neo versus Vader", with certain limitations, and right away it is obvious that Vader wins with the certain conditions. Can the thread starter then change the conditions, in interest of keeping the thread alive, in interest of making it an even playing field?

It will be the thread starters responsibility to even out the playing fields of his thread during the first few opening posts. If the match is clearly uneven, I might allow some tweaks to be made.
