Wasn't Percival the best of the knights?

edit: Real Musashi killed a military officer at the age of thirteen; Musashi was wielding a stick. As for Kojiro, there's a funny little link between him in BFM and him in real life. Supposedly, when Musashi dueled Kojiro, he essentially ran up the shore of the island where the duel was appointed, bashed Kojiro in the head with an oar, crushing his skull, and went back to his boat (he also got cut when Kojiro's sword fell.) Now, in BFM, when you first meet Kojiro, you fight on a beach, and Kojiro has a little scar on his head. Just a funny little thing I've noticed.

Edit! For great justice: That's a tough decision. The Greek gods are generally more powerful than the Norse ones, but the Norse do a lot more actual fighting, and their powers are a little bit more defined. I have only one question, as I can't seem to remember at the moment.

Is Thor the god of thunder AND lightning, or was it just thunder?

I don't know much of anything about the Sword of Luminescence, but unless it's magically enchanted to guarantee the wielder's victory, Arthur's going to win.

Excalibur was so enchanted, and in addition, it's scabbard was enchanted so that whoever carried it would never be wounded in battle.

Come to think of it, King Arthur was a big fucking Godmoder.

Percival was a bitch.

Yes the Sword of Luminescense is magically enchanted to guarantee winner to its victor. As I stated, it's the Excalibur's counterpart.

... ... ...

So let me understand this: Arthur was always hauling around a big stone?

Krylo 05-18-2004 12:31 AM

No, Arthur had a magical sheath to go with excalibur. Not the stone his father rammed it into...

Otaku -- a common misconception, of which I shall gladly disabuse you.

Arthur's first sword was, in fact, the Sword in the Stone, which he drew from a magic stone (hence the name of the sword) and proved he would be King of England. The entire thing was actually rigged by Merlin, as it happens.

Later, however, he battled the Black Knight (I think, this is more than likely wrong) and the sword was shattered.

Merlin took Arthur to meet the Lady of the Lake, and she bestowed upon him the enchanted blade Excalibur, along with its scabbard.

Ah. Meant no offense, I was speaking from from sincere ignorance on the subject.

That being the case:

If Arthur has the scabbard, they battle to a draw, eventually collapsing from exhaustion. However, Musashi dies later from the wounds he incurred in battle (as did Arthur, after his last battle, the scabbard having been stolen).

If Arthur does not have the scabbard:

-they both battle to exhaustion, and eventually die of battle wounds
-they swing at each other and their swords shatter upon impact, Musashi going on to win because he was better trained
-they create a magical paradox which destroys all reality

Quote:

according to the tale of Musashi, there were Five Rings(just like in BFM, althought they were called "scrolls" in America)
What did the rings do? Anything that could tip the balance one way or the other?

Ares was a psycopath who was often wounded by mortals, and he cried and ran off to Zeus every time......Thor could take a hit and keep on fighting. Thor wins, less inbreeding in his family and he isn't a wuss.


Arthur's original sword, the one he pulled from the stone, was shattered while he was fighting Sir Pellinore, so Merlin took him to get Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake.

Musashi had more training and swordfighting experience than any knight of the round table. He wins.

How about Cain (biblical) vs Caine(VtM, semi biblical) vs Kain (LoK games?)

Dragonsbane 05-18-2004 10:26 AM

Cain, biblical, loses


New fight!
Gandalf vs. Elminster vs. Albus Dumbledore vs. Merlin

Battle of the old, powerful, white-bearded wizards!

BitVyper 05-18-2004 11:40 AM

Gandalf and Merlin have never really seemed powerful to me so much as wise. I have to say this fight comes down to Elminster and Dumbledore. Elminster drops a mountain on Dumbledore, or something like that.

Sorry but I just have to ask this....
Homer Simpson vs. Peter Griffon.
If this has already been asked, ignore it.
