Fight of the Day shall Return!

[Nicholas Ward]

ROUND 3

1.
Claude Deveraux vs. Bryce Korland

2.
Christoph Kuyler vs. Caleb Cole

3.
Alfred Cahill vs. Axel Whittaker

4.
Connor MacLeod vs. Brian Cullen

Yes, here we go!

1. Although I like Bryce Korland a lot, I'd have to give this to Claude Deveraux. He knows how to use that broadsword well and his physique is most likely superior to Korland. Resulting in one beat poet.
Winner: Claude Deveraux.

2. Chistophe Kuyler's specialty is to strike when the other lets his guard down. Too bad Caleb doesn't have a sense of humour. He might get surprised with the initial speed or athletics but he won't be surprised by hide & seek tactics. Caleb will take this fight and Kuylers head.
Winner: Caleb Cole

3. Alfred Cahill was trained in hand to hand combat but seemed slow with the heavier weapons. Axel was incredibly fast wielding his big sword. Due to this speed i'd give this to Axel Whittaker.
Winner: Axel Whittaker

4. Connor MacLeod was good and very resilient, he fought and won against stronger opponents. However, against a sword master he most likely won't have the time to adapt. It's no shame to fall against the best swordsman of Europe.
Winner: Brian Cullen

Bless you, Aragorn!

Hmm. I think Claude Deveraux would beat Bryce Korland. In truth, we have no clue how well Korland fights.

I'm going to put Caleb Cole above Christoph Kuyler. Kuyler's main trick seemed to be people underestimating him. Caleb Cole seems to have a far more flexible fighting style.

Alfred Cahill vs Axel Whittaker... now that's tricky. Axel uses women to distract and disorient his opponents. Afred is off his rocker but was trained at one point, and might do the unexpected. Well, Axel, unless something else happened.

Connor vs Brian... I'm going with Connor, at least as far as we know in Season 3, maybe. Connor still seems active and learning, interacting with mortals sanely. Brian was no longer sober and didn't want to be. It would be no less sad than the fight with Duncan, though.

Kassim d. Hugh Fitzcairn
Everett Bellian d. General Katana
Iman Fasil d. Ingrid Henning
Ernst Daimler d. Gerard Kragan

[Aragorn]

Kassim vs. Hugh Fitzcairn
Don't think people are giving Fitz the credit he deserves, he lasted a long time and did well against Kalas 'til the last, and Kassim is no Kalas, plus he can easily get under Kassim's guard here, so I'll take Fitz

Ceridwen, I think you have valid points about Fitz fairing well against Kalas. If that was the only sample of Fitz fighting, I think this fight would be harder to judge. Problem is, we see Fitz getting beat up by some of the rogue watchers (in a one on one fight) and that makes him look bad. I love Fitz (and "The Who") so I don't like voting against him but he gets beat up a bit where Kassim is really solid from what I can tell.

[Aragorn]

Wasn't Ashe vs Ramirez a 2:1 vote? Why does Ramirez continue?

I think what happened was that it blew my mind that anyone would vote Ashe over Ramirez that I think I just assumed Ramirez won. I'm stunned at this result. Ramirez seems like such a naturally skilled fighter and Ashe seemed sloppy. I know we got probably his worst fight ever (and likely Ramirez's best), but still. Ashe did ... what maybe a 100 years after Ramirez? Ramirez was like 3,000 years old. I don't think Ashe would have won, but he won the vote so I'll advance him.

[Aragorn]

Alright, let me find out where we were....

[dubiousbystander]

Woohoo! Let's do it! Hello Aragorn!

[Nicholas Ward]

Welcome back.

I'd like to continue with this game. I'd even doubt that Duncan or Connor would win.

[Aragorn]

Sorry, I moved. And I was like "Why did I include Duncan/Connor? They're going to win." Maybe I can take them out and try to pick up if you guys still want to vote?

[dubiousbystander]

I am so sad.

[Nicholas Ward]

Looks like it.

[dubiousbystander]

Did we lose Aragorn?

[Nicholas Ward]

RIP thread

[JedimstrCR]

Bueller?

[Nicholas Ward]

He didn't specify earth days. so he might use Zeist days. I think that's the problem.

[Mr.Slash]

Aragorn, get back here dammit!!!!

[Ceridwen]

Round 3

1.
Kassim vs. Hugh Fitzcairn
Don't think people are giving Fitz the credit he deserves, he lasted a long time and did well against Kalas 'til the last, and Kassim is no Kalas, plus he can easily get under Kassim's guard here, so I'll take Fitz

2.
Everett Bellian vs. General Katana
Bellian for the win.

3.
Ingrid Henning vs. Iman Fasil
Not even a question, Fasil for the win.

4.
Ernst Daimler vs. Gerard Kragan
This would be an ugly fight, and honestly would be hard pressed to pick a winner so in a coin toss decision, Daimler

[JedimstrCR]

1. Kassim - Both primarily defensive fighters; Kassim was a level above though.
2. Bellian - Agree with Aragorn: Katana was beyond poor. A total joke for a final boss.
3. Fasil - Not enough evidence for Ingrid. We know Fasil was good.
4. Daimler - He'd probably draw his dagger and surprise Kragan, who wasn't the worst fighter in the world.

[Nicholas Ward]

1.
John Garrick vs. Grayson

Hey Nick, if Garrick would put up a better fight than Duncan, wouldn't he win? LOL.
VOTE: Grayson

2.
Kamir vs. Haresh Clay

I actually think this is a half decent fight but yeah, Clay without question would slice him to pieces and win.
VOTE: Haresh Clay

3.
Duncan MacLeod vs. Hans Kershner

Good fight; don't think Kershner would get angry or anything but I think Duncan would find a way to win.
VOTE: Duncan MacLeod

4.
Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez vs. Graham Ashe

I've seen how great Ramirez is; haven't seen Ashe look good. I'm sure he's great, but still. Ramirez gets my vote.
VOTE: Ramirez

Nope, Duncan got kicked around a lot but refused to yield at the end. Garrick would put up a decent fight but give in to defeat.

Grayson, Haresh Clay, Duncan MacLeod and Ramirez advance.

Wasn't Ashe vs Ramirez a 2:1 vote? Why does Ramirez continue?

Round 3

1.
Kassim vs. Hugh Fitzcairn

2.
Everett Bellian vs. General Katana

3.
Ingrid Henning vs. Iman Fasil

4.
Ernst Daimler vs. Gerard Kragan

Kassim takes this easy.

Bellian would win, he's the better fighter and knows madness of war. Katana wouldn't hold much against him.

Fasil wins easy while backflipping circles around her.

Daimler is pretty good in my book, he'll defeat Kragan in a fair fight and in a dirty one.

[Aragorn]

Round 3

1.
Kassim vs. Hugh Fitzcairn

Fitz was alright, but Kassim was actually pretty good. I like Fitz but unless he had something/someone interfere in a straight fight, I think Kassim was better.
VOTE: Kassim

2.
Everett Bellian vs. General Katana

Seriously, I think Katana is one of the worst immortals ever. Seriously, the guy was beyond lousy with a sword. And if you look at the background of this character, it would make sense. He was a soldier but he was an immortal for like ... a week before he fought Connor and Connor just tore him to pieces. His quickening lasted 11 seconds. Yes, I timed it. Everett Bellian actually looked like a pretty skilled sword fighter. While I'm not going to put him in top echelon of fighters, he's decent and he did cut Duncan. So I feel very confident Bellian would win this.
VOTE: Bellian

3.
Ingrid Henning vs. Iman Fasil

Fasil wins, yeah, no evidence of sword skill by Henning and Fasil put up a great fight against Connor.
VOTE: Iman Fasil

4.
Ernst Daimler vs. Gerard Kragan

I agree with Slash though I feel pretty good about Daimler beating Kragan.
VOTE: Daimler

[Mr.Slash]

Round 3

1.
Kassim - He had a good showing vs Duncan. Fitz would give a ggod fight.

2.
General Katana

3.
Iman Fasil - Fasil actually looked good vs Connor, even disarming him.

4.
Ernst Daimler - Even fight. I think the hater takes the porn king.
