Lich King Vs. Sephiroth, Kratos, Samus, Dante, Xemnas

I disagree, but there's no surprise there. Although this ain't the place to discuss that, so back to the matter at hand:

The Lich King encounter was a vast disappointment, because his way of combat was very bland and boring. He weren't actively endangering the heroes, instead merely implimenting indirect fatal danger.

This suggest that the Lich King in combat is pretty easy to overcome. My previous debating in favor of the Lich King was much based on his ability to phase-shift and abilities of similar nature, but he doesn't appear overly interested in implimenting such for combat.

It's no surprise that you disagree with me? W-why? D:

We used to be such great friends on that one site.

It's not a surprise that I disagree with your statement. It's not a secret how I feel about Burning Thought's techniques 😛 You I like.

You found it bland? I played it last night and I think its a really good encounter, far more unique then most in WoW in how you have to deal with him. Hardly a tank and spank.

He does not want to completly destroy them, and I imagine he does not want to take their souls because he wants them right where they are when he resurrects the corpses for his new army. And he would have gotten away with it too if it was not for those meddling ki.....powers of PIS light from Tirion.

Its bland in terms of combat prominence. He infest them, summon minions and pull them into his blade. It's a fun fight, I can imagine, but it's not as brutal as one would've expected. And lets face it, from an analytic point of view, his way of combat doesn't really speak in his favor for threads like this. Even though he intended to resurrect them, that doesn't really change anything, as there's no telling he wouldn't hold back here either. He'd note their power and want them to serve him.

The reoccuring theme of the Lich King is that he desire for his greatest enemies to serve him, not die.

Well you cant expect it to be too fancy can you. Its not a cinematic after all. Besides dont forget with a sword slash he imprisoned Tirion in a block of ice, surely thats kind of a submission win. Besdies they have all lost as soon as Infest or necrotic plague takes into action, simply because I dont think any of them can resist such a disease. Not even the life binder, queen of the Dragons can remove the plague of undeath.

Also chances are hes going to face Dante first, then maybe Sephiroth/Xemnas, those 3 are less likely to stick together as a team and so the fastest one will get there first.

Think of it like the battle between Illidan and Arthas BT, the short battle the two had in Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos was more correct from a lore wise point of view then the battle that we saw in the Cinematic and the battle with Illidan in Outland. Basically from what I have heard the bosses in WoW doesn't use a fraction of the power that is at their disposal according to the lore, but still WoW is the place that atm gives us the most up to date view on how each individual fight, and they fight with a fraction of what they can do making versus threads such as these hard to debate. Atleast that is my opinion.

Its certainly hard to debate, ill agree to that. Most of them have nothing but gameplay to go on. They cant really use that much power because its just a game as well, they only have so much they can show in it.

Not really because the LK can teleport, and go intangible. Kratos would lose his soul imo.

Edit: I assume LK is on his own, although I would not be surprised if he can make more minions.If hes not on his own then maybe some of the Ice crown bosses and environments should be discussed, the group may catch varying types of plague before they reach the LK.

Only it did not work at all.

Lose his soul?

Like the time Hades took Kratos'?

Uhuh.

It probably did when Zeus actually did it, e.g., not in cutscenes while Kratos was shoving swords into him.

Hades did not...afaik

Dumbasses....

Dante with yamato can cut that citadel to millions of a pieces, within the blink of an eye.
Or he can slice that stupid shield and the Frostmourne sword into half?
What can you say now?

Kratos would alone tear his head of and smash the helm.

As for the other guys - I dont know who they are.

As I said...Dumbasses. Go play WoW or something.

Knock off the namecalling, right now.

And don't bump threads that have been dead for half a year.

Closed.
