No. They cannot stand against the Inhumanoids.

Brigade is an offshoot team of the 90's Younglood. so waaay before Invincible was created. All these Liefeld creations may not even be with Image at all anymore. Anyway, the whole Brigade team is no match for Kregg.

Thank you for the words of encouragement!

Before this thing closes I just wanted to say that my vote for Ken reflects that I see Ken as being just the wrong kind of fighter for Raphael to fight. More powerful fighters rely on their powers more but Ken's skill only makes his powers so much more dangerous. He fights in a way that Raph will be frustrated trying to get an opening. If Raph wins that would be a magnificent battle to write.

I feel you on the lack of commentary too, it is difficult. On my end, I've been slammed with work and school, but was able to squeeze just enough time to get a good read in finally. Lol. That being said, I do apologize that it took me some time to get around to doing so, as this was certainly a treat to read for me. Again, it was intense, and it was pretty well written, as I can see that you're incorporating much of the thematic material that TMNT has beneath the surface to great effect in your writing. I hope you don't get discouraged from proceeding in your writing endeavors, whether it be for this arc or other matches in the future, as you have a great talent, and a passion for your work, that you should definitely continue to pursue in spite of the difficulties. Comments and interaction are very nice things, but there is a level of fulfillment in producing a work that really is more internally beneficial in my opinion anyway. Honestly, just stick to your guns, and don't let circumstances prevent you from doing things that you enjoy and fill achievement in doing.

Yeah, that was something which I wanted to get across in the recap-- a sense of intensity and uncertainty which... actually was something elemental even in terms of the votes when it came to Leonardo's match against Geese. And with a one point difference, the fight was EXTREMELY close. While there is a power gap between Leonardo and Geese, the favor being of the latter, I would think that Leonardo would've made up for it in intensity, perseverance and skill. After all, out of all the Turtles, even in the Mirage continuity, he alone was able to stand up to Oroku Saki in the first meeting, and even soundly and rather, with high difficulty, even defeat the Shredder where as the rest of his brothers were unable to. So that should speak volumes about Leonardo's level of skill, even if we look at strictly canon. As far as this match is concerned... I can say that I am rather disappointed with the lack of interactivity and commentary over the last few days. It took me a LONG time to write up this match and to try and get back into the groove of things. Don't get me wrong, I get that people can't always be here to read but... five or so days is enough to get SOMETHING and I know people are more focused on the tournament, so that kind of takes the fun out of doing this, you know? You breakdown is pretty sound, and hopefully people will keep in mind of Raphael's level of skill and tenacity against someone like Ken Masters. Even in terms of this storyline, Raphael's fought people who were even stronger and more powerful than Ken, specifically in reference to Terry Bogard and I was hoping that people would keep that in mind and then being forced to think really hard on how this match would go. After all, the Turtles experience does come to play here and even if we look at canon, all of the Turtles, even Raphael have fought opponents that even Ken would be flabbergasted to know that they exist (the Triceratons, Bloodsucker, Cronus, and the mythological figures in the Hall of Lost Legends). Some food for thought. Thanks for commenting.

Intense fight, you can feel Leo's struggle as he is facing off with Geese on the roof here. The impacts of each hit are pretty incredible to be honest, and I even felt at points that Leo would be done for, but you wrote it in such a way that even when things looked bleak for Leo, he still found a way to win. The bonds of his relationship with his brothers are key, and even as he learned from his mistakes, I think the real fight you wrote, was one in which Geese tested all of them to see how strong they all were together, while only fighting Leonardo, great job man! Ken will be a very difficult opponent to face off against, and I have no doubt that Raphael will struggle quite a bit to win against such a foe. Ken is fast, he is strong, and he is very powerful with his energy attacks, second only to Ryu himself in terms of a similar type of playing field. What he is also, however is more controlled than the likes of Akuma, and in that I think Raphael will have a decent advantage. It will take some time, and I don't think that Raph will get out of this one without sustaining some major damage, but if he can find a way to coordinate his evasion techniques and capitalize on the openings that Ken creates when using said techniques, I believe that Raphael can prevail here.

Yup that worked thanks.
