12:16 - Lucky the Leprechaun vs. Snap, Crackle, and Pop
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
The most important demographic for a smartphone to appeal to is the teen and pre-teen demographic. Most of said teens and pre-teens have likely grew up with fond memoirs of Lucky and his very memorable and fun commercials. So if the leprechaun recommends the Amazon Fire Phone then I see a great number of them going out and buying the product on that alone. No offense to Snap, Crackle and Pop but I just don’t remember their commercials as vividly as Lucky’s. -
12:16 - Captain Marvel / Shazam vs. Doomsday
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Eh I doubt it. Every time Shazam and Supes fight Billy not only always loses but there are times where Supes basically humiliates him. -
12:16 - Captain Marvel / Shazam vs. Doomsday
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Sorry Billy but your no match for Doomsday. Doomy has killed Superman, and Shazam even at his best has always been considered as a weaker version of Supes. -
Bring the Reapers on! I should remind folks that while both sides commit galaxy wide genocide countless times the Reapers feat is a bit weaker is that they make sure to leave technology like the Citadel and the Mass Relays behind for the next cycle to base their own technology off them. That gives them a significant advantage in that the Reapers already know how to take them down and they’ll have an easy line to the civilizations leadership to cut off their figural heads. Thus the Tyranids main advantage will be that for the first time in a millennium the Reapers will have to face a fellow galactic destroyer civilization whose technology isn’t based on there’s and where they can’t just do their usual strategy of taking out their enemies leaders in their opening attack. They’ll have to develop an original strategy for the first time ever and I think they’ll flounder a bit at first and allow the Tyranids to take an early advantage in the war. Unlike the Reapers the Tyranids don’t need to rig the deck in their favor to win, they’ve wiped out and devoured possible millions of different galaxies all on their own merit of being super adaptable and always having the numbers to overwhelm their enemies. Also I don’t see the Reapers indoctrination being a threat to the Tyranids. They are already being mentally controlled by the Hive Tyrant who controls almost all thoughts and actions of all the Tyranids under his command. It’s very similar to the Thorian from Mass Effect 1, a creature who can mind control others and seems itself immune to the indoctrination of the Reapers. If it wasn’t then Saren wouldn’t have needed to barter and trade with it in order to get the cipher.

12:16 - Will Graham vs. The Event Horizon
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Sounds like a pretty standard acid trip to me. And the problem with your argument is that Will already has to live through his own personal Hell everyday in REAL life thanks to Lecter, especially in the NBC series. What exactly can the Event Horizon show him that he hasn’t already had to deal with in real life? A psychopath targeting his wife and son? Already happened multiple times! His own fear of scaring his family and driving them away? Already covered that too! His paranoia that deep down he enjoys murdering others as much as Hannibal does and that one day he’ll turn into the monster that Hannibal is molding him into? He literally deals with that basically every episode! So this Event Horizons plan is to break him down by projecting the worst torment imaginable? MF Will Graham calls that Monday morning! -
12:16 - Batroc the Leaper vs. Maxie Zeus
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
I think what works against Maxie Zeus in this scenario is that most of the Legion of Doom are aware of him and his history of blunders and incompetent moments. Like that time he tried to escape Arkham after Bane brought down the walls only to run into a tree and knock himself out. Or the time a regular, no name cop managed to physically intimidate him into surrendering without a fight. He’s also ruined several of Joker’s schemes both by accident and by outright betrayal so you know the Clown Prince will be pushing heavily against Maxie joining the Legion. Batroc meanwhile has the advantage of entering this challenge without the league knowing of his less then stellar moments of the past. They’ll just see him as strong, loyal henchmen type villain who’ll do most of the grunt work for the more intellectual and scheming villains. And I think big names like Luther, Joker, Bane, and Two-Face will like the idea of adding a member who will follow their orders without question and who they won’t have to worry about betraying them and taking their spots as leaders. -
12:16 - Monster Island vs. John Connor
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Again I must remind folks that laying low on Monster Island isn’t as easily as they might think. Any caves or other forms of cover would be danger of collapsing due to the frequent earthquakes and rockslides that the island experiences daily. I should also remind y’all that monsters like Kamacuras and Gorosaurus do actively hunt humans so John will be in constant danger from that too. Ultimately what really works against John is that he’s never had to handle a situation by himself, he almost always has a team or backup come in and save in. Be it his mother, Kyle Reese, the T-800, Marcus Wright from Salvation or even his wife Kate Brewer. The sad fact is that John Connor only really succeeds when he’s part of a team and I think being all by himself on the island eventually his brashness and his temper will get him killed. -
12:16 - Will Graham vs. The Event Horizon
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
How so? I had to do some research on Event Horizon since I never heard of it before but according to Wikipedia the ship doesn’t really transport the Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill crew to hell, in fact it’s mostly like that the Gregory House in that it has to drive it’s victims crazy first and then have them kill themselves or others. And from what was shown it accomplishes that by showing flashbacks that correspond to fears and regrets. It’s basically the same method that Hannibal Lecter uses on Will all the time so I fail to see how Will falls to a scenario that he has to live with every day. -
12:16 - Trevor Belmont vs. Deathstroke
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Dude flintlock pistols and the like aren’t anywhere close to assault weapons and you know it. Furthermore since they start at 50 yards apart and can’t see each other that just benefits Slade even further. He can hide in cover and wait for the loud and careless Trevor to give himself away and then pop his little head off before he even knows he’s in danger. Also Slade also brings explosives, grenades, and trip mines as part of his arsenal as well. Would Trevor know how to look out for them? Come on man now I know your tripping. This is CW Flash moving Big Sir from a maximum security prison all the way to China in the blink of an eye. And here both Flash and Supergirl racing around the world multiple times in order to slow down time! And again CW Oliver took on both of them (separate occasions) when they were bloodlusted and CW Deathstroke is widely considered to be far better then Ollie. Also CW Supergirl is confirmed capable of throwing punches that could destroy the moon! Can Drac and Alucard do that? Again Slade is an assault bullet dodger, his healing factor can heal from an arrow to the eye and multiple steel beams collapsing on top of him and scales to Oliver who can tango with bloodlusted Kara and Barry. For base strength we know Slade can also snap assault weapons in half, punch through a human rib cage and a steel panel. He can take down Trevor. -
12:16 - Lord Dominator vs. Professor Ratigan
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
I don’t mean to bring in real world examples but hasn’t the US carried out assassinations on known terrorist leaders via drone strikes that blow up entire villages? That’s not exactly subtle either and yet everyone defines that as assassinating a key target. So again Lord Dominator blowing up Never Land should be treated as a fair means of assassinating a target, it’s not as tricky or complicated as Ratigan’s methods but it is faster and more of a sure fire way to kill Tinker Bell who again has survived a pretty big explosion. Yeah but the thing about prep work is that it often takes time to do your research, set up the traps and then wait for Tink to come to you. And in that time Dominator could either send out her drones to take out Tinker Bell, personally take the Lost Boys or the other fairies hostage to force Tinker Bell to come to her, or again blow up Never Land itself. Either way gets the job done much faster then Ratigan could hope to do. Cause 1 trying to force to trap Tinker Bell near water will be a very difficult endeavor due to her flight, elusiveness, and the fact that again Ratigan said during the song he considered that crime to be too dull and boring and that he much prefers more extravagant and elaborate death traps for his victims. It’s more effective then wasting time trying to do research and set up traps that’ll take forever while your opponent is already tracking Tink down with weapons far more devastating then a early gunpowder bomb designed by a 19 century pirate. Again I’m not denying that Ratigan could develop a trap that could kill off Tink if given enough time, but the fact is that Dominator could accomplish her goal in half the time and with weapons guaranteed to pack enough punch to kill the fairy. -
12:16 - Zombies (World War Z) vs. Stormtroopers
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
WWZ zombies are strong strength wise too my friend. Throughout the movie we’ve seen them smash through car windows with just their fists, tear through boarded up steel doors, and push open a door barricaded by an overturned snack dispenser. Their strength is clearly above mere humanoids as well. So if they get close I can see them tearing through the Troopers armor pretty easily, or they can just bite through the armor’s joints, the part of their armor only covered by a thin black leather. Also I guarantee the Ewoks can’t run as fast as a running zombie. Those guys are basically Usain Bolt if he never tired and never quiet coming after you. They’ll be able to cover the distance up the hill much faster then any Ewok or rebel would. Yeah but you gotta admit the majority of the time the Troopers aren’t very accurate with their shots. Check out them vs Luke and Han on the Death Star, or the Battle of Endor, or even against the blind Chirrut Imwe at point blank range. Keep in mind Chirrut is not force sensitive so you can’t just say that he’s augmenting his speed with the force: Furthermore the Stormtroopers will be further disadvantaged by the fact they won’t know that only head shots can kill zombies, they’ll start out aiming for the center body mass due to it being the easier target and likely won’t realize that can’t kill them until the zombies are right on top of them! -
12:16 - Trevor Belmont vs. Deathstroke
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Arrowverse Oliver has taken down a blood lusted Flash and Supergirl. He’s way beyond Trevor in abilities and combat feats. Also again has Trevor ever encountered a gun before? Not only will Slade have a clear range advantage it’s doubtful Trevor will even know how to dodge bullets fired from an assault weapon. -
12:16 - Lord Dominator vs. Professor Ratigan
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Yeah but Ratigan has no way of knowing about her weakness to water. And judging from the death trap he strapped Basil to he seems to have a preference for cutting and bludgeoning weapons so it’s doubtful he’ll attempt to drown Tinker Bell at any length. And that’s if he’s able to catch the elusive and flight bound fairy. And remind me again why blowing up Never Land isn’t a good assassination? It’s quick, efficient, and Tink definitely won’t see it coming. And also Dominator has far more impressive feats when it comes to catching quick and elusive magical beings. Wander is one of the most elusive and uncatchable beings in the Wander Over Yonder universe, countless other galactic conquers like Lord Hater had tried to capture/kill him for so long and none of them ever succeeded. And in the series finale Dominator succeeded where they all failed when she (briefly) captured Wonder to use as a hostage against his friends and allies. That’s a far better example of catching a very tricky magical creature then Ratigan has ever done. Finally even if Tink does occasionally leave Never Land the fact is she spends most of her time on that island and thus Dominator’s ability to travel to the place will be a huge advantage and she won’t be spending her time waiting around and hoping that Tink happens to come across one of her traps. -
12:16 - Zombies (World War Z) vs. Stormtroopers
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Sadly the Stormtroopers tactics and training will work against them here. They’ll be focused on getting all their troops to the top of the hill first and that’ll only draw the zombies towards the scenarios objective as well as trap the Troopers on top of the hill in a Custer’s Last Stand scenario. Also the Troopers natural inaccuracies with their weapons plus their inability to adept when the battle turns against them will further play right into the zombies hands and allow them to swarm the Stormtroopers before they have time to react. Now one could argue that the Troopers being covered head to toe with armor would keep them safe from the zombie bites. But here’s the problem with Stormtrooper armor: their designed to protect them from blasters and liters nothing else. During the Battle of Endor the Ewoks were able to pierce their armor with bow and arrows and through just smashing their heads in with rocks! If a tiny Ewok can break through the armor with arrows and rocks then you better believe the much stronger zombies will tear through that armor! -
12:16 - Lord Dominator vs. Professor Ratigan
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
Firstly how exactly would Ratigan get to Never Land again? I doubt he has a spaceship lying around that could take him there so the only other way for him to get there is with pixie dust and by having faith and trust. Things that someone like Ratigan would likely have little of. Secondly need I remind y’all how insanely durable Tinker Bell is? @1:58 she survived being at the epicenter of an explosion big enough to be seen from miles away and cause several trees to be blown into the sky! I don’t think Ratigan or his minions will have the firepower to take Tink out! But I guarantee you Lord Dominator will! Also on top of being tougher then she looks Tinker Bell can fly and glide very fast so I’m also questioning how Ratigan will be able to keep up with the fairy. Lord Dominator’s technology and drones will be far better at keeping up with Tinker Bell. -
Jeez @Fox you really like putting my girl Amaterasu in the Ewok scenario huh? Well I got two main arguments for why Amaterasu will take this scenario once again: #1 again: She’ll start the match already looking like an Ewok deity so they’ll already be perfectly willing to bow down to her and grovel at her feet. And with Artemis being very quick to anger I think starting off with the Ewoks already shunning her for Amaterasu will cause her to lose her temper and alienate herself from them even more. #2 I assume that the Ewoks will have to deal with the Empire invading their planet at some point and will need a deity who they can count on to lead them into battle and Amaterasu has much better credibility here then Artemis. Amaterasu is a samurai goddess trained in bushido and has had to fight and defeat fellow gods like her brothers Tsukuyomi and Susano before. While Artemis has had to deal with the occasional perverted mortal before I don’t recall a time she’s had to fight other gods before. So I would think the Ewoks would better trust Amaterasu to lead them against the Empire then Artemis. Amaterasu for the win!

12:16 - Trevor Belmont vs. Deathstroke
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
It’s gotta be Deathstroke. He’s experienced fighting on deserted islands, he’s got much more battle experience, a healing factor, and oh course there’s the fact that he’ll be bringing in weapons far more advanced then anything Trevor has seen before. Belmont has never seen a gun before and won’t know how dangerous it is until after Slade fills him full of lead. -
Rumble 17864 Voldemort vs. Ebony Maw
Pizzaguy2995 replied to Culwych1's topic in CBUB Unrated Rumbles
I doubt either would succeed at the nightclub pick-up challenge, but Ebony would likely win 1 and 2. His telekinesis is far more impressive then Voldemort’s magic and as an advanced alien who can pilot a space ship from one side of the galaxy to the other I think that’s more proof of intelligence and spatial awareness that would work to his advantage in a game like chess. -
Don’t worry Peypey, your still one of the best champs of all time! Hopefully I’ll be able to get my first win this time around, wish me luck!

Can’t wait Fox! This is only my second time to make the playoffs and I’m hopeful I can finally pull off a win! Guess we’ll see what matches I get tomorrow.

Cyberman take this. Far too many for Domino by herself. -

Sorry Carol, I’ll start writing your obituary. -
12:15 - Tenga Warriors vs. Stormtroopers
Pizzaguy2995 replied to UMPIRE's topic in CBUB Season Draft Matches
I hate to call you out like this Twogunkid but I think your mistaken with the first link, the Tengu Warriors weren’t even in that clip. That clip showed the Rangers fighting Ivan’s Oozemen, completely different minions to the Tenga Warriors. Also the clip clearly shows the Oozemen overpowering the Rangers in their civilian forms and forcing them to morph in order to win. I don’t mean to take sides, I’m just letting you know you might have made a mistake with your links.
