^ Isn't Spike impossible to put down by normal means? The only episode of Buffy I ever saw start to finish had him tanking multiple arrows to the chest with only mild irritation to show for it.

I thought Spike was "just" a vampire. I.e. he can be killed by any means that kill vampires.

Well if there are stakes then he could be put down, otherwise though his damage soak and hf are pretty insane.

He can be knocked unconscious, I think a demon in the last season of Buffy one-shotted him.

Buffy's sort of inconsistent that way.

I'm not exactly the most knowleldgable person in terms anime/manga/game/non comics in general but I've thought of these match ups at one point or another - I'm sure I've thought of more, but I've seen them suggested already or I can't think of them at this particular moment:

Kakashi vs Iron Fist
---------------------------------
Ryu vs Captain America
---------------------------------
Master Chief vs Mr. Terrific with 10 T-Sphere's
---------------------------------
Aang vs Storm

I'd be interested to see a Kakashi vs...

But IIRC he has the ability to essentially create miniature black holes with his Mangekyou Sharingan.

So I can't see Iron Fist winning...

Aang can redirect lightning. 😛

lets stick with the kakashi vs theme

So a melee combatant, who also has some ranged energy abilities or can avoid them easily and is fast enough to avoid the Sharingan/or has regenerative ability.

If there's someone of that calibre then I'll nod.

Was also going to propose Yoruichi against Ms Marvel, dunno if it would be a good match-up.

Yoruichi vs Cheetah mebbe?

That could work.

The only issue I see with Shinigami is that they also have Kido at their disposal.

So I thought Ms Marvel also having ranged attacks and flight might be better, but then at the same time I think Ms Marvel is too slow probably.

I suppose Cheetah's enchanted claws might be able to cut through certain binding spells. Or her strength might let her break out.

Spike can be put down just as any normal vampire (staking, beheading, sunlight, holy water), it's just that he (and Angel) has a very high tolerance for pain, particularly when blood-lusted, but sufficient damage or near fatal wounds will put them down for a bit. He and Angel also can resist being instantly dusted by sunlight for a short while.

You should really watch the shows. I was a bit apprehensive myself about watching Buffy (the name alone was a put off. Plus that bullshit movie with Luke Perry), but after a co-worker let me borrow the dvds and after watching a few episodes I really started to like it. By mid Season 2 it really found it's footing and became a very solid show. I was hooked. I prefer Angel though. It's darker and the writing and plot lines are a lot more intense. Plus the episode Smile Time is must see TV. Watching both series simultaneously after Season 3 of Buffy (Buffy episode then Angel episode) is the way to go.

Yeah I intend to watch it eventually. The episode I saw was pretty good.

Have you started watching Stargate SG-1 yet? uhuh

It's in my Netflix queue. Right now I've got Battlestar Galactica Season 4 in rotation.

nod.

Though it's know that Yoruichi is proficient in Kido, she has never been shown using spells; so that shouldn't even be a factor in the fight. The only Kido she does use is to amp her physical stats.

I think Ben will be underestimated and since it's not my suggestion, it can't be considered bait. haha

Meh. I'm still running under the assumption that she can cast high level binding and attack spells. But I suppose people can argue its out of character.

we need a batman thread.

David Xanatos v. Batman? 😐

Sly Cooper vs Black Cat
