Vin vs Illua
Vin: The second-most powerful Allomancer in existence (second after her husband, who can't fight for his life), and the hero of the Mistborn series.
Versus
Illua, the ruthless leader of Khamja and holder/author of the Grimoire of the Rift
Edges:
Short Range: Katana wins. I’ve made this point too many times: steel beats glass. Edge: Illua
Mid Range: Koloss Sword wins. Abyssal Slash is a powerful technique, but it can’t overpower the Koloss Sword in terms of damage potential or range. Edge: Vin
Long Range: Dimensional Rift wins. The coin is hard to see, track, or stop, but Dimensional Rift is impossible to stop and has a higher damage potential across a larger area. Edge: Illua
Special: Allomancy wins. I think that this has been explained enough, s…
Nightmare vs Gerald Tarrant
Edges:
Short Range: Soul Edge (SCIII) wins. This is an almost dead even match in terms of the swords. However, the Zweihander’s longer reach gives it an edge. Edge: Nightmare.
Mid Range: Coldfire wins. That magic is much more powerful than anything Nightmare can bring to the table. It’ll be able to freeze his armor clean off, leaving him vulnerable, as well as outright killing him. Edge: Tarrant.
Long Range: Ernan Gun wins. I’ll take a gun over a sword, even one that’ll misfire at the slightest doubt it’ll work. Edge: Tarrant.
Special: Shapeshifting wins. Tarrant has so many more options with this than Nightmare does with his Critical Finish, as well as being able to shift into more powerful forms. Edge: Tarrant.
Tarrant won, 4-1. I've been too …
Achilles vs Hurlock
Achilles: Hero of the Iliad, immortalized warrior, and Arete
Versus
Hurlock: The Darkspawn’s Shock Troop
Edges:
Short Range: Shield wins. The Hurlock bashes with that shield, making it offensive and defensive. Edge: Hurlock
Mid Range: Spear wins. Achilles’ spear far outreaches the Darkspawn Longsword. Edge: Achilles
Long Range: Darkspawn longbow wins. Bow vs javelin, I’ll take the more reliable longbow over the javelin any day. Edge: Hurlock
Special: Shield wins. 300+ kills on the show, anyone? Edge: Achilles
Achilles won, 8-1. I haven't had much of a chance to write the battle, so I'll put it up when it's finished. Should be around tuesday or wednesday. Thanks to a gross miscalcualtion on my part, the battle is now up.
Achilles is fighting in the T…
Illua vs Vasher
NOTE: Illua gets two people as back-up for this fight
Illua: ruthless head of Khamja and holder/author of the Grimoire of the Rift
Versus
Vasher: The mysterious figure in the book Warbreaker
Edges:
Short Range: Katana wins. Rope or sword? Difficult choice. . Edge: Illua
Mid Range: Even. Abyssal Slash is an absurdly powerful move, and the squirrel is an absurdly powerful squirrel. Edge: Even.
Long Range: Dimensional Rift wins. Nightblood may be a powerful sword, but Dimensional Rift is obscenely powerful and can easily kill Vasher. Edge: Illua.
Special: Kalad’s Phantoms win. Stone warrior = instapwn, even if Illua has major issues (read: is really bad at) with actually dying. Edge: Vasher
Illua won, 6-4.
Vasher finds himself in the Ruins of Delgantua, …
Vin vs Kopaka Nuva
Vin: The second-most powerful Allomancer in existence (second after her husband, who can't fight for his life), and the hero of the Mistborn series.
Versus
Kopaka Nuva: The Toa Nuva of Ice and the deputy leader of his team.
Edges:
Short Range: Ice Shield wins. Shield vs glass daggers? Shield. Edge: Kopaka
Mid Range: Koloss Sword wins. Two blades against an anime-sized sword? That sword has a massive blade, and will break Kopaka’s equipment. Edge: Vin
Long Range: Pushed Coins win. Yes, the Ice Blade is a double-sided sword, but the Pushed Coins have immense range. Here, we have armor-piercing, hard to detect, and accurate projectiles against a sword. Edge: Vin.
Special: Allomancy wins. Kopaka has total mastery over Ice, but let’s break down Alloma…
