Weekly Top 10: Lightsaber duels

In accordance with the upcoming star wars day on May 4th I will be doing a star wars themed top 10 both this week and next week. This week is my favourite Lightsaber duels from both the films and game trailers.

10) Ben Kenobi Vs Darth Vader (Episode IV)

The first lightsaber duel of them all. After the prequel came out it changed the mood of this fight as it became a fight between ex friends who were once as close as two war buddies can be, it also showcases the force transcendence mid fight.

9) Luke Skywalker Vs Darth Vader (Epidode VI)

Although the fight itself was not very well choreographed, it helped to illustrate how strong Luke had become, In just a year he became stronger than a force anomaly with 30 years more experience than him. It also shows that inside that dark armour is a good father after all, well not really but you know.

8) Kenobi and Skywalker Vs Dooku (Episode III)

 This is another duel which shows you how far a mere padawan has come, not only in his training but towards the dark side as well. I'm going to illustrate something I don't understand Anakin see's Mace as evil for trying to kill Palpatine but when Palpatine suggests to behead Dooku who was a pawn in Sidious' evil plan he's less bothered by it, wha...why?

7) Dooku Vs Yoda (Episode II)

Originally Yoda was believed to just be good at the force and virtually useless when it came to combat, that was quickly broken when he engaged Dooku showing of his true mastery of the Ataru form jumping and leaping about at a quick pace.

6) Darth Malgus in the retaking of Korriban (Star Wars The Old Republic Return trailer)

Recently I have really come to like Malgus mainly because he is just naturally cool. During the retaking he managed to easily dominate the future grandmaster and even killed her master with relative ease, what is most shocking about this is that he was still an aprentice. His master demise at this event changed that however.

5) Obi-wan Vs Grevious (Episode III)

The General showed us that you don't need to be a Jedi, Sith or even force sensitive to be a master lightsaber duellist, although the lightsaber combat wasn't that long four lightsabers is pretty cool.

4) Mace Windu Vs Palpatine (Episode III)

The best thing about this duel is that it was the greatest duellists from both sides against each other. Because of Windus Vaapad he was feeding off of Palpatines dark side energy making it possible for the match to go on forever if it wern't interpupted by Palpatines ploy to get Anakin to turn.

3) Luke Skywalker Vs Darth Vader (Episode V)

The most Iconic fight in the franchise for obvious reasons. You kind of feel sorry for Vader if you think about it, he eventually works up the courage and tells his son who he is and asks him to live with him, what does Luke do, he refuses to except it and runs (falls) off, Vader must have felt very sad after that.

2) Obi-Wan vs Anakin (Episode III)

This fight is sad in the sense in that their brotherhood has fallen, clearly shown by Kenobi's words of sadness and propably a sense of failure. It also shows how Anakin had truly fallen to the point he would attack his best friend. As a plus note it proves my theory that the overall defence style of Soresu Trumps the brute force style of Djem so.

1) Darth Maul Vs Qui-gon and Obi-wan (Episode I)

 This is what Episode one did right. It was the first duel to be properly choreographed and proudly demostrates the siths power to take down a master and overpower his aprentice, although Maul was killed by Obi-wan that was through Mauls greatest weakness, overconfidence. Also Duel of fates is h=just the best movie song thing ever.

Super Showdown: Deadpool Vs Deathstroke

Yes It's me again for another post in the same day. This week I will be pitting Wade verses Slade, The merc with a mouth Deadpool Vs the Expert assassin Deathstroke.

I will be examining their Physical ability, mental status, tactics, equipment and abilities.

Physical Ability and Martial Prowess
Deadpool is in peek physical condition for a man of his age minus some scarring caused by aggressive cancer, he was trained in the military and has been a mercenary for a number of years since making also well trained when it comes to combat. During the weapon X program Deadpool opted to be experimented on to gain the same regenerative powers as wolverine, it was originally believed to be a failure but turned out to work it just needed a bit of time to kick in, because of his power he can take a lot more punishment than the average soldier and his muscles are able to sustain more therefore making him stronger as well. He is also a master in several forms of unarmed combat arts and knows how to utilise several different types of weapons with precision.

Deathstroke is also at the top of his physical prime for someone his age, however it is best to note he is around 50 years old and although his ageing is slowed you can tell his body is still past its prime, his ageing is slowed because of a military enhancement experiment that was performed onto him increasing his strength, reflexes and endurance greatly, he was also given regenerative powers though they are not as advanced as Deadpools. Deathstroke is well trained in both armed an unarmed combat, with his experience over the years he has polished all his techniques to a fine point.

In conclusion I'm going to have to give Deadpool the edge for this factor as Because of his younger age he will be stronger than Deathstroke  and is able to take much more punishment, it is a close one though as Deathstrokes advanced fighting skills make him more of a danger than is let on.

Mental Status
Because of the Weapon X program Deadpool received severe mental damage and has never been the same since. He often talks to the reader and two voices inside of his head. He constantly shows his lack of focus and unpredictability. This does not mean that he is not smart however as he has thought of some creative ideas before.

Instead of losing his mind from experiments Deathstokes became highly advanced. He is able to think 9 times faster making him amazingly efficient while under pressure and can find an opponents weakness with ease  and exploiting it to the full. He is however a bit arrogant at times.

I am going to have to give the edge here to Deathroke for obvious reasons as Deadpool is clearly not sane While Slade thinks more logically.

Equipment and abilities
Wade is riddled with a number of weaponry, the main one's being dual katana, dual pistols, dual sai and a teleporter. Because of his choice of mainly dual wielding weapons he gives the advantage of more attacks being put in therefore more of a chance to hit, however he does sacrifice some things such strength for the katana and aim for the pistols. The teleporter combined with Wade's unpredictable insanity proves to be a deadly asset on the battlefield as the opponent can not accurately predict where he will pop up next or what he will do when he does pop up. Abilities wise  Deadpool has his regenerative abilities which allow him to heal from every wound he has gotten to so far, he has even survived getting his head chopped off and being punched into smithereens by a super angry Hulk.

Slade also has a number of weaponry, most notably his Prometheum sword, dual pistols and machine gun. Because of his sword prometheum material it can absorb large amounts of energy and also isn't to bad at cutting things up either. He also wears body armour opposed to Deadpools skin tight suit, his body armour is very durable to conventional injury's. Deathstroke has Regenerative powers as well making him able to endure strenuous punishment although he can not survive death because of this.

The edge here is going to Deapool mainly because of his healing factor beinf superior and the fact that all of Deadpools weapons help weaponise his unpredictable nature massively.

Tactics
Deadpool doesn't really use tactics but his unpredictable nature kind of counts as one. Because of his sanity combatants tend to struggle keeping up with Deapool. His style also has it's drawbacks however as he will often get distracted and loose focus or just rush in and attack, it's very fifty fifty when it comes to Deadpools approach.

Deathsrokes approach is a lot more thought out because of his advanced thinking skills and experience, Slade will come up with the best tactic to deal with what he is facing using whatever he can to do it. he is also not as destracted as Wade therefore he will give more in that respect.

For the category I will give the edge to Deathstroke, although Deadpool is unpredictable it is to risky for my liking and he isn't focused enough to emply anything he may think off with efficiency.

Final Decision
At the end of the day this was quite a difficult match to decide between but I have come up with my verdict. The winner is DEADPOOL.

The Reasons for this being that because of Deadpools more youthful body he can out perform Deathstroke in many ways and his regenerative abilities make it so he can take much much more than Deathstroke could even dream of. Although Slade has got the superior tactics and mental ability theres not much he can do against somebody who will just shrug it off and plus Wades insanity does have the possibility of working out on his part, also their martial abilitys were pretty similar although Deathstroke did have more experience.

ANIME!... SUGOI!!!

So earlier today I decided it would be interesting to see how much time I have spent watching anime in my entire life. It turns out that I have watched 64 days worth of anime and to be honest I couldn't be bothered to add how much time I've spent watching pokemon because that is way to various.

I imagine quite a lot of people would have watched more than me but this is still pretty incredible and shows you that I do really sincerely love anime to what could be seen as an unhealthy extent, It doesn't even matter what genre it is for me, Action, Harem, slice of life etcetera  etcetera (saying that Iv'e never watched any Yaoi).

I also find the music really awesome, I have no Good idea on how to sing the words because I don't speak Japanese but they sound so epic and meaningful, like the anime themselves.

If you compare the anime I watch to the soaps my mum watches, In the soaps they are all mean to each other and at the end of the day are never nice people not to mention they reuse the same storyline in the same show all the time. Anime however everyone shows their nice side at some point and teaches you life morals, the main one being to never give up and always protect your friends.

So yeah basically I really really really like ANIME.

Weekly top 10: MARVEL characters

Because I did DC last week I shall be doing MARVEL this week, enjoy.

10) The Vision

Created by Ultron to defeat the Avengers and almost succeeded, but instead decided to join them. He is an all out power house and managed to get with the Scarlett witch which I have to respect.

9) She-hulk (Jennifer Walters)

Sexy, smart and strong, She-hulk has it all and when she is not beating down baddies she is fighting in court dealing with super human matters. Unlike her cousin Bruce she is able to control her anger and not become a rage induced maniac.

8) Starlord (Peter Quills)

Starlord is not only a badass when it comes to fighting but also is very funny and witty, which is generally what a character needs to be a fan favourite. He also looks cool in the future Guardians of the galaxy movie which I am looking forward to.

7) Thor (Donald Blake)

Worthy of his title of god of thunder, Thor manages to stay as one of the strongest members of the MARVEL universe. He has increased strength, durability flight and can smack you down with some lightning, if that is not the very definition of badass then I don't know what is.

6) Deadpool (Wade Wilson)

This one goes without saying. Deadpool continues to please with his variety of randomness and sometimes sick humour that for some unknown reason we can not help but love. He is also one of my favourites because of his conversation with not only the voices in his head but with the the audience as well.

5) Ms Marvel (Carol Danvers)

Half human and Half Kree Ms Marvel is another power house with sex appeal to boot. She is also a key member of the Avengers, comic avengers of course.

4) The Punisher (Frank castle)

Frank is just the no S*** badass of the MARVEL. He is more practical than other heroes like spider-man or batman in the case that he will kill his enemy's rather than putting them in a prison they will break out of.

3) Iron man (Tony Stark)

Iron man is many peoples favourite hero and I think everybody wants an Iron man suit of their own to just fly around in and punch the general person into the ground when they annoy you. What is ironic about Iron man is that he was originally made to be an unsinkable character but quickly became one of the most popular instead.

2) Spider-man (Peter Parker)

The most recognisable hero there is (I don't know it's not superman but that's what the survey said). Spider-man has an array of both cool and whacky villains who are almost always entertaining. Spider-man is also another witty character and I like bad jokes so for me Spider-man is really funny.

1)Wolverine (James "Logan" Howlett)

Wolverine is my favorite character because of his pure badassness and the fact that he will always look for the nicer option rather than punch first, sure he used to be like that but out of most other characters he has undergone the most change. Who wouldn't want Bone claws either...well...maybe with out the pain.

Weekly Top 10: DC Heroes

As the title imply s this weeks top 10 will be about my favourite DC super heroes.

10) Raven

  Raven is most famous from the original Teen titans cartoon and for good reason, she related to most youngsters through her anti social attitude but with a kind heart underneath, she is also pretty hot, unless your talking about the Injustice raven.

9) Conner Kent

A young clone of superman Conner was taken in by Superman, although he doesn't have all of superman's powers he is still able to kick ass and brings along some good stories.

8) Batman (Bruce Wayne)

Batman is probably the most liked hero of them all, his dark and brooding attitude makes him as cool as can be although I do have complaints about his fan base as saying that he is batman does not provide sufficient proof of why he would win a fight.

7) Superman (Clark Kent or Kal-El)

The most ridiculously powered of all Super heroes, however he is the best person to have that level of power as he wouldn't never harm the innocent and constantly has with hold his true power so that he doesn't destroy buildings (contrary to what happens in man of steel).

6) Zatana (Zatana Zatara)

I generally consider this to be what some may call their waifu, her magic is anything she says backwards which you have to admit is pretty badass, you could just be like "ekac" and boom youv'e got a meal.

5) Nightwing (Dick Grayson)

The original robin Grayson had had enough  of not getting the credit and decided to leave batman and fight crime on his own, it turns out he does a lot better without Batmans supervision and looks much more badass.

4) Flash (Barry Allen)

Most people think all this guy can do is run fast, he can do much more than that my friend, he can vibrate his molecules so he can pass through things or other things pass through him and he has even shown the capability to vibrate someone elses molecules across space.

3) Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

Who wouldn't like the power to create virtually anything in a green light form. Although the movie does him no justice Hal jordans cocky attitude and ability to overcome fear makes for some thrilling story lines.

2) Shazam/Captain Marvel (Billy Batson)

Propobaly one of the easiest secret identities to keep. One minute Billy is a harmless little kid and next a bolt of lightning strikes down and he's a powerful adult who can rival superman in power. This is the power I would choose out of any other just so I could shout SHAZAM! and for it to actually work.

1) Green Arrow (Oliver Queen)

What i love about green arrow is just his pure wit, he just makes every situation funny with his sarcastic wit, he also manages to keep up with the rest of the justice league and can even get some of the jobs done faster on his own. I'm also a fan of traditional weapons

Super Showdown: Iron man Vs Batman

I know its been a while since I last blogged something but My charger broke not to long ago so I was unable to. I've decided as a gift to any fans I may have (though I don't think I do), The gift is a versus series I am Going to call a Super Showdown. Every so often I will post who I Think would win in a fight between two super heros who are similar in some way.

For the first fight I will be pitting The million dollar play buy philanthropist against the worlds greatest detective, they both use their money to become super hero's, Iron man vs Batman.

I will be observing the hero's Physical ability, Mental status, Equipment and tactics. The fight will be done on a basis of them meeting up randomly with what they would usually have on them.

Physical and combat Ability
Bruce Wayne is in supremely good condition and is able to go on for a long time without break because of this, he is also trained in several forms of martial arts which both helped him to increase his physical ability and his combat prowess, he is able to take on tens of enemy's and come out with a scratch. Durability wise he will be able to shrug off most injuries but he is still a man when you get down to it so is required to wear his bullet proof suit as to absorb damage.

Tony Stark is in the average condition for a man his age and has some martial experience. In his suit Tony becomes a true power house, being able to lift up to 100 tons and his durability is classed as superhuman so is beyond bullet proof, his suit also allows him to reach high speeds both in the air, land and water.

I'm going to have to give the edge to Iron man in this fight, although Batman s martial prowess would make him superior in hand to hand combat his punches and kicks would do little to no damage and probably end up hurting him were as a single punch from iron man could break several bones in his body at once.

Mental status
Bruce Wayne is very smart and is seen as one of the greatest detectives of all time, he is able to see what professional detectives can not and find the best way to go about things with an incredible record of getting it right. There may be some sign of mental scarring though from when is parents were killed in front him sometimes leading him to rash and un thought out behaviour although this would not be very likely. Batman has always showed the ability to adapt, however this is usually showcased after he has been defeated.

Tony is one of the smartest men in the MARVEL universe and proves it by constantly creating new iron man suits for different tasks such as bringing down thor or the hulk if it were necessary, he is constantly evolving his armour collection. He is also a very cocky individual always shooting for the fame and not thinking about what he's doing  or the effects they could have. He has also shown some weaknesses such as when he had a drinking problem which drove him into depression leaving his friend James Rhodes to be iron man for a short time.

In this category I am going to have to give the edge to Batman, although Stark is ultimately smarter his rash behaviour leads him into many tight situations were as Batman will always try to work out the best solution adapting to the situation constantly.

Equipment
Bat man has always been known for his utility belt and the many things he keeps inside it, he has equipment for all sorts of different tasks, his most famous are the grappling hooks and batarangs, the grappling hooks allow him to make it up and down buildings with relative ease also adding the possibility to latch onto enemy's, batarangs are best described as Shuriken as they do not come back but are designed to leave a hole in the enemy's chest, they can have several things such as explosives attached to it for knocking over larger enemy's or taking out a few at a time.

Iron man's suit is rigged with weapons and counter devices, his most famous are the repulsor beams with are able to knock back or stun enemy's rather than killing, he also has anti magnetism and anti EMP devices so that he can't be taken down by such things, he also hides beneath his armour mines tank busting missiles Etc.

In this department I'm going to have to give Iron man the edge. This is because Batmans equipment range are designed for various situations which would not apply against Stark were-as Iron mans armour is designed for specifically  but whooping and countering his own weaknesses.

 Combat Tactics
Batman is the master of stealth and thought out strategies, he prefers to go for tactics in which his enemy won't see him or were he takes them by surprise, it would not be odd for him to set up traps in the middle of the fight for an opponent to stumble onto unbeknownst .

Iron man as mentioned before is incredibly cocky and will most likely rush in and use brute force to overcome the enemy, although this is true because of Starks technology he will be able to sense heat signatures and point out any traps or sense batman before he goes in for a counter strike.

In this section I'm going to have to give the edge to Batman, as we can be sure he will think out all his actions and come up with smarter solutions to his problems.

Final decision
After much thought  I have decided that Iron man would be the victor of this bout. This is because although Batman is superior when it comes to tactics he just simply isn't prepared for Iron mans capabilities, anything Wayne would throw at Stark at most would delay him for a second or two but because of his advanced technology would quickly nullify anything Wayne has rendering him next to useless, even with Batman's ability to adapt  the best he could come out with here is for him to retreat and prepare for a future fight, but as he would be retreating that would count as a victory for Iron man, not to mention Stark would most likely pursue Wayne further which depending on the terrain could go either way.

I would love to hear any comments anybody has and please keep any criticism constructive so that I can help Improve my posts in the future.
