Damn it guys stop making me want to come to mania even bloody more. I'm trying my hardest to get there. Can't have Theo turn heel on me by shaving the beard, thus ending the Bearded FunK (Beardless FunK?), and not have me be there.
Well I don't need to go completely clean shaven. We'll just trim it down (a lot).
I didn't care for mass effect two but that could just be because I brought it and then was $40 off picking up my pre order a few days later so I returned it too pick my preorder. I have been debating on rebuying it though.

Go from Mike Knox to...Wade Barrett?
Yeah, he really does make Flash sound like an overpowered maniac, but he might have a point in this round. Unfortunately for him, running into a steel wall is different than running into an adamantium skeleton. Adamantium has literally 0 give to it no matter what strikes it and with how much force. Flash can only hope to hurt Wolverine's muscles, and those are the types of wounds he recovers from instantly. Banging on Wolverine's skull is going to hurt Flash more than it hurts Logan, and going hand to hand with Wolverine never works out well.
Actually, hitting an adamantium skeleton would be better than a steel wall. An adamantium skeleton isn't rooted to the spot, so it'll move, reducing the momentum change for Flash and thus the force he receives on impact. Additionally, while Adamantium is harder than steel, the rest of Wolverine's body isn't. In fact, that's something that Flash can use to his advantage.
If Flash punches Wolverine in the face at high speed two things are going to happen. The first is Flash is going to break his hand. Sucks to be Barry Allen. The second is that all of the force that Flash hits Wolverine with (and it's a lot, trust me) has to get expended. Now, a lot of that will be wasted by sending Wolvy flying. But in the process, Wolvy's head is going to whip backwards, impacting with his brain, which is going to rattle around his cranium, shaking itself apart. Now, Wolverine's healing factor means he can survive that, but the brain is very complex and the delicate pathways that are involved won't heal quickly (ask a stroke victim how hard he finds swallowing). A brain that's turned to mush is going to incapacitate Wolverine by the rules of this tournament.
Is that argument more acceptable?

You are mixing comic book science and real life science. You mention how Wolverine had a healing factor and a metal skeleton and how Flash can run at the speed of light, then mention how hard a stroke victims recovery is due to the brain having trouble healing himself. Does Wolverine's healing factor not also apply to his brain or do you conveniently replace comic science with real science when it helps your argument?

I'm really surprised Batman hasn't overtaken Iron Man based on popularity alone. Tony could possibly win his next two matches pretty easily.
SHUT UP!1!one!!! FLASH NO-SELLS BULLETS TO THE HEAD. HE'S HARDCORE. CAN'T BE STOPPED. FLASH WILL RUN SO FAST THAT WOLVERINE WILL JUST KILL HIMSELF. HE KNOWS BETTER THAN TO EVEN TRY.
Actually, just real science.
I mentioned the former, because it's relavent to what I'm saying. Not the latter.
Yes, because punching someone very hard in the head can damage their brain. You've heard of concussions and shaken baby syndrome, right?
No, I'm saying that because the brain is a very complex organ, it is going to take time to heal. Long enough for Flash to be considered the winner via incapacitation
Let me use some more real world science for you. Flash's fist weighs 3 kg, and is moving at 100 m/s (for ease of maths). It hits Wolverine's head with a momentum of 200 kgm/s and comes to a dead stop (again, for ease of maths). Because of the law of conservation of momentum, all of that is transferred to Wolverine's head (which for ease of maths weighs 20 kg) which is forced to move backwards at 15 m/s (that's 35 mph to the nearest 5). Since the brain floats in fluid, it remains stationary until Wolverine's skull hits it at that speed. That initial impact is going to do major damage. Worse still is the fact that the brain is now going to be ricocheting around inside reinforced skull and doing more damage to itself. The brain is fragile and sensitive. The kind of damage done there is going to impair Wolvy's ability to breathe, let alone continue.
Wolverine's close enough to human for basic biology to hold true. And the Marvel universe is close enough to this one for basic physics to be applied to a situation.

It's a comic book character with a metal skeleton, from a universe where people are basically human spiders, can shoot lasers from their eyes, can regrow severed limbs, and can control the weather. None of those things are possible in real life, yet you try to apply real science and math to them. He is capable of repairing damage that is far beyond human limits. He survived an atomic explosion at one point. Real life science no longer applies
Evidently the laws of physics do, because the buildings of Marvel's New York City act exactly the way the buildings of real life New York do. Evidently the basic laws of biology do because they are still classified as Homo sapiens. Well mutants are Homo superior, but since most of them have the same organs that's irrelevant at a simple biological level.
And Wolverine's healing factor isn't being ignored. If he didn't have it, he'd die from having his brain turned into mush. Unless you've got some evidence that suggests that Wolverine can rebuild his brain from scratch in the time it would take him to answer to a 10 count. Wolverine's healing factor isn't instant, nor is it infallible. Hell, it can even be overloaded and stop working.
Keep trying Yazloz. I'm sure at some point you'll come up with an argument that can't be rejected off hand.

You are arguing for science in a fight between a fictional character who can run as fast as the speed of light vs. a fictional character who has a healing factor, metal skeleton, and claws that come out of his hand. You are trying to apply science to characters that defy the very laws you are trying to use to argue. I understand you are in pharmaceuticals, you are into science that's cool, any science more advanced than biology was hard for me to grasp so I commend you for pursuing it. I just prefer a good story, I'm a creative writing major, I'm willing to bend some laws and facts if it means I get a better story. I just don't understand why you have this sudden dickish attitude toward me.
Because it works.
Your post in the Achilles vs Thing and Joker vs Samus threads were annoying if not outright moronic.
In the former case your post contributed a grand total of jack shit to the thread. Your points were in order:
- Thing is not stupid (nobody said he was)
- Stone skin > bronze weapons (which had already been pointed out)
- Thing > Achilles in hand to hand combat (referencing my post, but seemingly missing the point I was making)
- Thing's endurance > Achilles' (completely irrelevent.)
The original thoughts weren't worth making, and the other two had already been made.
In the Samus vs Joker thread your post was again void of anything resembling sensible contribution. Your sole point being "Joker could talk Samus into a nervous breakdown". Samus has weapons that can break the god damn sound barrier and tends to kill things before they get a chance to talk.

I'm just trying to add to the discussion but fuck me right. I'm clearly not as superior to everyone as you are
I don't think anybody dislikes you, your argument is just too much.

Could Iron man have the Thor buster, or Hulk buster armor with him?
The fuck are you talking about, you've been right like, twice. In your entire life. You're a fucking JoMo mark for fuck's sake.
I still like you though <3.
I would argue no. The "no time to prepare" sword swings both ways, and more often than not Tony is flying around in one of his regular Iron Man models.

True, Iron man in Hulkbuster armor for next years supers bracket? Think about it.

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
I'm not sure I follow what you're saying, you don't like the game because it dropped in price by $40 a few days after you bought it? how is that a reason to not like the game? I can understand being annoyed by that, & not likely the place that sold you the game knowing full well they were going to drop the pice substantially in a few days, but the price drop really doesn't effect the gameplay, story, graphics or any other reason I could see for disliking a game.
BTW I got for $15, also picked up season 2 of Justified. Speaking of Justified, I'd like to make an early nomination for Raylon Givens in the Human Bracket of next years BZT.
From what I read he's still expected to play, & it's only his first violation.I really wish he'd tone it back, he's overrating & overpowering the shit out of Flash, & it's making me resent one of my favorite characters.
I haven't read Pancocks argument in this round yet, but one could argue that Flash could just phase through the adamantium skull & just punch Wolverine in the brain, of course I don't know why Flash would do that if he thinks he just thinks he can punch Wolvie in the face & be done with it, Flash, being from a different universe would have no clue about the adamantium skeleton or even what the hell adamantium is.
Batman/Iron Man is the match I'm most interested in this round, Just cause Iron Man has a fancy suit with a bunch of guns, & missiles & shit doesn't necessarily mean he should beat Bats with ease.
I hope not, if he has access to every fucking armor I'm voting against him out annoyance at that.
