Random Battle: January 2011
12-24-2010, 07:17 AM
Hi, and welcome to January's Random Battle thread. Although the previous thread is still being voted on, it looks like Link is set to be the winner over Simon Belmont with a 10 to 2 vote count. However, hopefully this month's battle will be both closer to call, and a closer challenge for the competitors.
This month's battle: Mega Man vs. Kirby

Tale of the Tape
Mega Man, also known as Rock Man in Japan, is one of Capcom's biggest names. His claim to fame is his ability to substitute his Mega Buster for various other weapons, such as the Rolling Cutter, Ice Slasher and the Rebound Striker as well as many, many more. A robot himself, he defeated numerous Robot Masters over the span of 10 games.
Kirby hails from the Dreamland, and has protected it from numerous forces through the years. Kirby has a very similar ability to that of Mega Man, the ability to copy the abilities of his enemies, this time through inhaling them and swallowing them. He's been able to use a sword, create cyclones and fire, as well as throw bombs very similar to one of Mega Man's abilities.
Can the Blue Bomber defeat the Pink Puffball, or will Kirby eat Mega Buster for breakfast?
The rules of combat are simple, they both have the option of all their normal abilities. For the sake of Mega Man, say that he's somehow held on to all his previous weapons gained from battling and defeating the various Robot Masters he's battle in the past. For Kirby, assume he's surrounded by bystanders who can give him whatever ability he needs, and all he has to do is gulp them down. You won't have to wait for Capcom x Nintendo for this one, they're getting the battle on right now.
Also, I should have said this last month, but if you have an idea for a Random Battle, give me a PM. There's just two basic rules. The fighters must have something that is comparative between the two, Link and Simon's adaptability with items, for example, or Kirby and Mega Man's use of their enemy tactics. The other rule is that they should be fairly well known to the video game community, both old schoolers, hardcore gamers and casual gamers. So, you got an idea? Send it my way.
