    Just to remind everyone:

    Okay, here are the rules:

    Vote on the following matchups, using your own criteria on who would win in a battle to the death between the two. Remember, whoever is the higher seed (in this case, the lower the number, the higher the seed) has the home field advantage. What does this mean? It means that Freddy Krueger gets to fight his opponents in the dream world (if he is the higher seed) and Agent Smith gets to fight his opponents inside the Matrix.

    Voting is for the East, West, Midwest and Southeast Regions, Elite Eight/Regional Finals and you have to get your vote to me by 1:00 P.M., CST Friday, November 21. You can vote by either posting in this thread or by emailing me at jfyoung@charter.net. In case there is a tie, whoever I voted for wins the tiebreaker.

    One other word before I post the 4 matchups: all of the sweet 16 matchups were not close EXCEPT for Magneto against Agent Smith...final was 9-9. Since I voted for Magneto, he advances.

    East Final
    1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage)
    10) Darth Maul

    West Final
    4) King Kong
    2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage)

    Midwest Final
    4) Khan
    3) The Predator (has homefield advantage)

    Southeast Final
    4) Magneto
    2) The Terminator (has homefield advantage)


    I am going to vote sometime tomorrow as these are some tough matchups to think about.

    1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage) - any villain with the voice over of James Earl Jones is unbeatable!

    West Final
    2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage) - flame from Zilla's grill lights KK's fur on fire...no contest.

    Midwest Final
    3) The Predator (has homefield advantage) - the Mullet's run ends here...Predator's weapons are too strong

    Southeast Final
    4) Magneto - powers are too strong

    East Final
    1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage)
    10) Darth Maul

    Simple math. Obi Wan beats Maul. Vader beats Obi Wan. Vader will beat Maul.

    West Final
    4) King Kong
    2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage)

    Oh baby, this one's going to be good. After battling it out, a tired Kong snatches a hottie out of one of the buildings and flees the scene.

    Midwest Final
    4) Khan
    3) The Predator (has homefield advantage)

    Cloaked in the jugle the Predator blast a hole in Khan's head and all you can hear in the background is........... "Anytime" followed by laughter.

    Southeast Final
    4) Magneto
    2) The Terminator (has homefield advantage)

    A bad matchup for the Terminator. Remember Wolverine in the first X-men movie, same outcome.

    2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage)

    Midwest Final
    4) Khan

    East Final
    1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage)*****
    10) Darth Maul

    Drawn out battle, but Vader uses his mastery of the Force to win.

    West Final
    4) King Kong*****
    2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage)
    Epic battle and Hong Kong is destroyed...again...Zilla puts a hurting on Kong with the breath, but Kong finally gets close enought to Zilla to gt him in a death grip.


    Midwest Final
    4) Khan
    3) The Predator (has homefield advantage)*****

    Magnificent hand to hand honor combat in this fight to the death. Khan enhanced strength and reflexes, as well as the barren planet he lives on allow him to get some shots in on the predator, but in the end, the predator proves too much for Khan and impales Khan.

    Southeast Final
    4) Magneto*****
    2) The Terminator (has homefield advantage)

    Magneto grows weary of his matches against machinery and simply rips apart the Terminator with one sweep of his hand.

    East Final
    1) Darth Vader *
    10) Darth Maul

    Let's see... Maul was sliced by Obi wan, who couldn't overcome Vader.

    West Final
    4) King Kong
    2) Godzilla *

    Kong climbed buildings, Godzilla was bigger than buildings.

    Midwest Final
    4) Khan *
    3) The Predator

    Anyone who can survive on a duststorm planet has got to have some survival skills. If Danny Glover can beat a predator...

    Southeast Final
    4) Magneto*
    2) The Terminator

    Magneto controls metal, terminator is metal.

    1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage) *** Obi Wan killed Maul. Vader killed Obi Wan when he was much more experienced. Obviously Vader is better. He also has that stupid medi whatever thing going for him. (I hate you George Lucas)
    10) Darth Maul

    4) King Kong
    2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage) *** Godzilla is bigger and has thermo-nuclear death breath. Kong is just a big monkey.

    4) Khan
    3) The Predator (has homefield advantage) *** What you can't see can kill you.

    4) Magneto
    2) The Terminator (has homefield advantage) *** This may seem like an easy victory for Magneto, since the terminator is made of metal, but since Magneto doesn't know that, I'll go with Arnie.


    BTW, you can probably leave out that stuff about Freddy and Smith from now on, since they have both been eliminated.

    Darth Vader over Darth Maul because Vader is a master.

    Godzilla over King Kong because in reality, nuclear fire breath would kill anything, not just make some smokey patches of fur.

    The Predator over Kahn, no explanation needed.

    Magneto over the Terminator in a laugher.

    1. Vader. He's the evilist dude in the galaxy.

    2. Godzilla. Those damn claws are just to big.

    3. Predator. This thing nearly killed Arnie, dammit.

    4. Magneto. He just rips the Terminater into trillions of little bits, finishing off by saying, "You have a little more iron in your blood." ;)

    Vader
    Kong
    Predator
    Mag


    btw- Vader is really only a villian for awhile, and both Kong and 'Zilla have been portrayed as good guys.

    Predator should win it all.

    10) Darth Maul- well, ive seen him fight and he is much better than vader, vader only uses a very medievel style of swordplay, its not very efficient and its slow, based on style alone, even duku could beat him. Maul on the other hand, has a faster wushu style which is based more on speed. he also has a double saber, im going to give it to the badass that already knows how to fight


    2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage) he can breath fire, donkey kong has nothing


    3) The Predator (has homefield advantage)
    easy


    4) Magneto, even easier, snaps his fingers, arnold becomes a pile of swingline staplers.

    Wrong pal. Magneto will sense that Terminator is made of metal. Just like how Magneto knew the fat guard in X-Men II had too much iron in his blood.

    1)Vader
    You guys used Obiwan as the basis for comparison. That's not very accurate. Because Maul actually beat the combined forces of Obi-Wan Kenobi AND Qui-Gon Jinn(Liam Neeson). Maul was just sloppy at the end and carelessly allowed Obiwan to slice him into two pieces.
    So, for comparison's sake, I'll go one step higher.
    Darth Maul was the student of the Emperor. So was Darth Vader. But Darth Vader even managed to KILL the Emperor in the end.
    Besides, even if Darth Maul had better sword skills, he is no match for the will power of Darth Vader. The FORCE is with Darth Vader. Using the FORCE alone, Vader could will Maul to cut himself into pieces.

    2)Godzilla
    Physically: Both are stupid, so size does matter. And fire too. Plus the Zilla's body armour.
    Mentally: Godzilla is more focused during battles. King Kong can't concentrate because he is constantly on the lookout for hotties. Therefore, even if King Kong is faster, he will not have his eyes on his opponent all the time. If a hottie passes by, that one second of sloppyness is enough for the fireball to travel from the Zilla's mouth to the KK's snout.

    3)Predator (but who the hell is Khan? Did he kill Superman?)
    But I am terribly afraid of Predator. He was my childhood nightmare, and still is.

    4)Magneto
    Like I said, Magneto will sense the metallity of Terminator. That's all I have to say about that.
