Who is the best overall warrior in series 1?

[Squishee Slinger]

[glow=purple,2,300]I was thinking about this earlier. Who would win in a battle royal free for all among the 1st series figures? All of these guys seem to be tough competitors.

I think the Sledge is definately a heavy weight (pun intended) in the group as he could absorb a lot of punishment and dole out alot of firepower in the process. Skull Jack or Grimm could be pretty formidable since his life is somewhat magic based. I would think alot of conventional weapons would have a harder time stopping him as he could just pull himself back together and fight on.

The Alpha Ranger and the Bone Cutter would seem to be at a somewhat a disadvantage to me in a one on one fight. The Alpha has a nice selection of weapons but he's not as strong, quick, or resilent as the other contestants. Both need the comrades in masses to be at their most effective. I think the alpha might have the advantage in laying low and picking his shots. The Bone Cutter would do well against the Skull Jack.

Razor Claw is a fighting machine but what can he really do against the the top level opponents like the Sledge and the Inferno? He also lacks a strong ranged attack as does the Shadow Blade. This might be good if they were fighting in close quarters with a less dominating opponent but I doubt either of them would wear down the Inferno or Sledge with bladed weapons.

So IMO, it would more than likely come down to the Sledge vs. the Inferno. To me this is a tough battle but one I think the inferno ultimately is the winner. Fire at a certain tempture will melt any solid and it is very hard to put out an out of control fire. The Sledge is made of organic parts and metal. The Inferno being able project fire, fly, having intense heat itself as an armor makes close quarters combat exceedingly difficult. This spells doom for most opponents. Unless someone can trick the Inferno into defeating itself I think the Inferno torches the sledge and the competition. I think in general the elementals are the strongest players in Xevoz. Each of them have major weaknesses, but if you can't exploit it quickly you aren't going to last long. Maybe that's also why it is said they are rare in the Xevos world and prefer to be left alone. If they ever got ambitious and organized they would be very difficult to defeat.[/glow]

I think Inferno Fury would win Because I've always seen elemental types as kind of 'gods' and thus being very powerfull. That doesn't make much sense though, since the Hyperfuries would just destroy everyone. I guess Hasbro will eventually show us that these furies are 'clones' or at least less powerfull beings.

out of wave 1, i think you both my be right about inferno fury... there's no one to counter the fire element at the moment...

And yet, the only one I can think of right now who would be able to counter Inferno would be the ice elemental coming out (or a water type). Thing is, they're on the same team!

okay, the question is do you count personality in the match up?

if no- grim skull all the way. if yes, hyperfury.

why you might ask? both the un-naturals and furies are are mystical. they arn't bound by nature(meta beasts, sectoid) they arn't bound by knowledge(neo) or by technology (biomech)

they arn't really gods, but they arn't really on the same level as those who arn't gods. they're just in between. i think the furies were never ment to be gods and just an acient race who learned to harness their environment.

so why would grim'y win? because he comes with a pair of fury wings... thus he did them in. so why not the skull jack? because the personality of the skull jack and the grim skull are different. one is out for revenge and only wants stuff to make him powerful to kill skull jacks, and the other is "oo shinny i'd like that"

there's my two cents.

every battle would be really cool and close though.

Had to go with Skull Jack/ Grim Skull simply because based on the release of Grim Skull we know that at some point there was a legendary war with Inferno Furies that the Grim Skull army won. Besides they're Unnaturals...we all know how difficult it is to kill the already dead characters

[Squishee Slinger]

[glow=purple,2,300]I don't even think Grimm Skull would make it to the end to go one on one with the Inferno Fury; however, maybe the reason he is black is because he was enchanted to be fire repellant and was made for the sole purpose of taking down the the fire based Hyperfury? I still don't think he would be able to beat the rest of the field though. The sledge probably makes him a shattered doormat with one bone crunching stop.

That's the cool thing about Xevoz is that without a movie, comic or cartoon we can open our minds to all sorts of stories and possabilities. Battles can play out a million different ways. It's all about the imagination.

You have to remember though that Skull Jack and Grim Skull armies have been known to reasseble themselves on the battlefield. I supposed if a Sledge were to stomp the bones to dust this may prevent resurection but who has the time to stomp some bones when there are more Unnatural warriors around?

[Squishee Slinger]

[glow=purple,2,300]If we were talking about hordes of Unnaturals then yeah, but 1 of each warrior in a game field and I think the Skull Jack or even the Grimm Skull goes down pretty quickly.[/glow]

[CJK Toy Bay]

Ahhh yes I do see your point, in that case I'd have to agree that the skeleton warriors don't stand much of a chance but I think the Unnaturals are smart enough to avoid those situations. They seem to be the bully species of Xevoz. Attacking unsuspecting, weak and lost people in packs...I tend to think they don't do much alone. Simply because alone they don't stand much of a chance

[Squishee Slinger]

[glow=purple,2,300]Yeah, but that was just my little hypothetical challege situation. One warrior from wave 1 all in a Texas death match. Last one left standing is the champ.[/glow]

[Yournumber1fan away]

whoa now... they would do great alone. they are un-natural and dead for a reason ... and if a neo sapian can take out a biomecha then i'm sure a skull jack could too. bio mech are slow but powerful where as the skull jacks are light and near unstopable. might not win the first fight but they'll be back (que twilight zone music)

as for the grim skull taking out the fury... i'm gonna say he could. he's fueled by revenge, and that alone gives people extraordinary abilities. kinda like adrinalin. so he stalks his prey and runs over and slice! *flop* done deal. i think he's black so he can stalk easier and move in the night better. and if i remember right (i'm away and don't have my sheets with me) but the inferno fury looses some power at night. weak spot exploittation would prolly be to the skull jack advantage, and they probably wouldn't feel bad about doing it either.

but like it was said, without a real backstory yet its all up to us. and it will still be up to us even when the story comes out.

[glow=purple,2,300]Heh, you guys certainly think more of animated skeletons than I do. I guess I've just seen away to many old stop motion films where they got their collective clocks cleaned 3 on one going against cheesy human actors of the 60s.[/glow]

[DFReaper]

Got to go with the Alpha Ranger. (Huge bias over here, the Ranger was the first one I wanted.) I think that huge *butt* gun would make short work of most of them. Then again, I am thinking with my heart and not my head on this one.

Then you ask, why not the Omega? Cause I said so, nuff said.

[Squishee Slinger]

[glow=purple,2,300]I doubt he'd even get a chance to aim that huge thing before someone much quicker deli-sliced him.[/glow]
