I'll just give this a shot and we'll see how it goes.
In the spirit of "vs" movies, in this game, I'll pit two characters/monsters/machines/etc. of movie fame against each other, starting each with a score of 0.
Your job, should you choose accept it, is to reply with your vote on who would win. You vote by giving your chosen winner a point and adjusting the score, just like we do with all the Fame of Shame games.
Just like the honor system that we tend to observe, do not vote more than once back to back, wait for at least one other member to have voted before you vote again. The first contestant of the "duel" to reach 10 points will be the winner.
The member who makes the final vote that determines the winner must provide a new duel. That person can keep one of the previous duel intact, or go with two entirely new opponents, that doesn't matter.
You can always provide commentary or justifications for your vote if you like, but it's not required. The only criteria for contestants is they must be a fictional character/monster/creature/machine from a movie. This means that CHUCK NORRIS is not allowed in the game, because he is not a fictional character, but any character he played in a movie is okay. I love Chuck Norris facts as much as anyone, but we all know that the Chuck phenonenon is such that it would be pointless.
Okay. I hope you'll all play. I will start with the example I used earlier:
Godzilla vs Optimus Prime:
Godzilla: 0
Optimus Prime: 0
Godzilla 1
Optimus Prime 0
Godzilla's much bigger and breathes fire. I love Optimus but.. no chance.
Godzilla- 2
Optimus Prime- 0
Yeah. I loved Transformers as a kid, OP rocks, but I loved Godzilla more. Plus, like stated, he's bigger and breathes fire. Can't beat that.
Godzilla- 3
Optimus Prime- 0
Gotta agree with the others. Don't think Optimus Prime stands much of a chance against Big G and turning into a truck won't help him here either....
Godzilla- 4
Optimus Prime- 0
This one's in the bag, Godzilla could take all of the Transformers at once.
Godzilla- 5
Optimus Prime- 0
Godzilla could take all the Transformers plus the Go-Bots. And, I like Optimus Prime.
Godzlla - 5
Optimus Prime - 1
Sorry to play devil's advocate but fire vs. alien steel/blasters. I think its clear Optimus would make sushi of the big lizard.
Godzilla- 6
Optimus Prime- 1
Godzilla- 7
Optimus Prime- 1
Need I remind you Darksider? That the original MechaGodzilla and Gigan were alien cyborgs. And what Godzila blasts out is no ordinary fire, it is of atomic quality.
Also, I think Godzilla would tower over the Transformers. Prime should've known better.
Godzilla- 8
Optimus Prime- 1
I thought this game was going to tank so I forgot about it. Looks like it's been laboring along. I don't think this first duel was very popular. Well. I'll add one more for Godzilla and hopefully someone will finish the task and make him the winner and propose a new duel.
Godzilla- 9
Optimus Prime- 1
Godzilla- 10
Optimus Prime- 1
New duel: Batman vs. Captain America
Batman-0
Captain America-0
I feel they're pretty evenly matched. Both are great in hand to hand combat. Batman has his gadgets though, so MAY have an upperhand. And, there's no Robin or Bucky around to aid them. Just those two.
Batman may have trained alot, but Cap got his battle experience the hard way, on the battlefields of World War 2, plus while Bat may be athletic, Cap is the pinnacle of human perfection and can punch through brick walls.
Batman-0
Captain America-1
They've actually fought before in a DC/Marvel crossover. Batman won (sorta) and I would give him the vote here. Though personality-wise I like Cap much more (Batman's a moody, arrogant bastard).
Bats-1
Cap-1
Batman-2
Captain America-1
I see Batman as being smarter and at least equal in stregth, I never read that one, I'll have to pick it up.
This thread has potential, we all just need to think outside the box. Giving different scenerios would also spice it up.
Say, imagine this battle was happening in a land made of marshmellows and one must fall before they are doomed to marshmellow-dom themselves.
Batman- 3
Captain America- 1
Batman has more of a darker way of handling crime, plus i find C.A. tobe a complete jackass (seriously, Captain America?)
Batman- 3
Captain America- 2
Hell...I like them both. I dunno. :wink: For different reasons.

Yeah. The DC vs. Marvel thing. Then they did the Amalgam crossover for a bit. It's what brought the thought in my head. :smile:
Batman- 4
Captain America- 2
Gotta go with Batman. He might not have been enhanced by drugs like C.A. but he just seems smarter and I think he'd find a way to be Cap down.

That's not your straight edge talking now, is it? :wink:

Wow. quite the battle going on. Good match up.

Have to go with Batman. I was never big on Captain America.

Next person has to make it interesting. Give a setting, weapons, time limits, ANYTHING. Make us scream for blood.
Batman -10
Captain America - 4
WINNER: Batman
Next: Robocop VS Terminator
Robocop- 1
The Terminator- 0
Robocop - 1
The Terminator - 1
Robocop - 2
The Terminator - 1
Assuming it's the regular T-800, even so, Robocop is just cooler, even though T2 beats all three Robocops at once.
Robocop - 3
The Terminator - 1
Robocop - he'd have a fight on his hands but I think Murphy wins in the end.
Robocop- 4
The Terminator- 1
That's just a personal preference here. I'm not a big terminator fan.
I agree with Jase, he'd have a hell of a fight but he'd get the win ultimately.
Robocop- 5
Terminator- 1
Like others have said, assuming it's the popular "Arnie" model, Robocop's just too durable and too resourceful.
Robocop- 6
The Terminator- 1
Robocop- 6
The Terminator- 2
I'll make a vote for the Term. I love Robocop. I think at a distance, Robocop would probably win, but if the Term gets within close range it goes to him. He strikes me as more damaging hand to hand.
Robocop- 7
The Terminator- 2
Robocop- 8
The Terminator- 2
Please avoid back to back votes.
Robocop- 8
The Terminator- 3
Robocop - 8
The Terminator - 4
I would think Robocop overall but the game changes a bit in close quarters. I think Robocop is less skilled when close up. I think the T-800 would take a win in the roboknuckle to roboknuckle brawl.
Robocop - 9
The Terminator - 4
Robocop- 10
The Terminator- 4
Winner: Robocop
Hmmm: The Toxic Avenger vs. Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD
The Toxic Avenger - 1
Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD - 0
I like the Toxic Avenger more.
The Toxic Avenger - 1
Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD - 1
I like em both equally. I'm sure Toxie's a bit stronger, but Kabukiman could summon up some kabuki-like powers and give em a run.
The Toxic Avenger - 2
Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD - 1
I was never much a fan of Kabukiman, but I liked his evil double in Citizen Toxie.
Toxic Avenger-2
Sgt. Kabukiman- 2
WIth enough alcohol, he won't feel any pain Toxie inflicts. :bouncegiggle:
Toxic Avenger-3
Sgt. Kabukiman- 2
Toxic Avenger-3
Sgt. Kabukiman- 3

Toxic Avenger-4
Sgt. Kabukiman- 4
Toxic Avenger: 5
Sgt Kabukiman: 4
Toxic Avenger:5
Sgt. Kabukiman: 5
Toxic Avenger: 6
Sgt. Kabukiman: 5
Tough one to call, but I gotta give the SLIGHT advantage to Toxie...
Toxic Avenger: 7
Sgt. Kabukiman: 5
Sgt. Kabukiman just got on my nerves.
Toxic Avenger- 8
Sgt. Kabukiman- 5
Toxic Avenger- 9
Sgt. Kabukiman- 5
Yeah, I agree with Doggett on this one.
Toxic Avenger- 10
Sgt. Kabukiman- 5
TOXIE WINS!

New Match:
El Guapo (from The Three Amigos) vs. The Most Interesting Man in the World.
I know The Three Amigos, but... 'The Most Interesting Man in the World' Who is that?

The Most Interesting Man in the World is part of an ad campaign for Dos Equis beer that has become a bit of a phenomenon. He is the quintessential distinguished man whose exploits take on a legendary status. He's kind of like a distinguished ladies man version of Chuck Norris with a Spanish accent.
Oh yeah. I remember now the Dos Equis Dude, has hot chicks all up on him, right... yup
(http://www.psfk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/the-most-interesting-men-in-the-world.jpg)
El Guapo 0 (eats raw onion)
The Most Interesting Man in the World 1 He's cool.
Then we're off and running my friend Venom. I agree. And I think El Guapo is a little outmatched, so I'm going to vote for him this time around, because he cracks me up, and because I don't think he will get a plethora of votes.
El Guapo - 1
The Most Interesting Man in the World - 1
