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, Sweet Sixteen and you have to get your vote to me by 1:00 P.M., CST Wednesday, November 19. 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. East 1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage) 4) Freddy Krueger 6) Dracula (has homefield advantage) 10) Darth Maul West 1) Damian (has homefield advantage) 4) King Kong 3) T1000 2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage) Midwest 1) Pennywise (has homefield advantage) 4) Khan 3) The Predator (has homefield advantage) 10) Lex Luthor Southeast 1) Agent Smith (has homefield advantage) 4) Magneto 3) The Alien 2) The Terminator (has homefield advantage)
My votes: Darth Vader wins easily over Freddy since they are not in the dream world, but on the Death Star. Vader does the Jedi Mind Trick to end it rather quickly. Despite having the home field, Dracula is no match for Darth Maul as DM mauls the count setting up a classic battle of the 2 Darths. King Kong shocks Damian, who finds that all his underlings have deserted him. Kong easily picks him up, despite his changing form and crushes him. Godzilla has to work a little bit, but finally destroys the T1000, setting up another titanic battle between him and Kong. Khan is not intimidated by Pennywise's tricks and wins in a minor upset. Lex Luthor's cinderella run ends at the hands of the Predator as Luthor cannot get anyone to do his dirty work for him. Despite being inside the Matrix, Agent Smith is no match for the master of magnetism in Magneto as Mags is able to take off the machine. In a hard fought battle, the Terminator is able to outlast the Alien to advance.
East 1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage) 10) Darth Maul (Love Dracular, but the Darth v. Darth matchup is too good to miss out on) West 4) King Kong 3) T1000 Midwest 4) Khan 10) Lex Luthor Southeast 4) Magneto 2) The Terminator (has homefield advantage) End voting.
1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage) 4) Freddy Krueger I'm going with Krueger, he went toe-to-toe with Jason Voorhees, a fat old man with a flashlight shouldn't be too much trouble. 6) Dracula (has homefield advantage) 10) Darth Maul Dracula wins by default when Maul's upper body falls off due to injuries inflicted by Jason in the previous round. 1) Damian (has homefield advantage) 4) King Kong 3) T1000 2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage) 1) Pennywise (has homefield advantage) 4) Khan 3) The Predator (has homefield advantage) 10) Lex Luthor 1) Agent Smith (has homefield advantage) 4) Magneto Come on, Smith has been run over by a train. There's not much more I can see Magneto throwing at him, especially when you factor in how fast agents are in the Matrix. 3) The Alien 2) The Terminator (has homefield advantage) Hasta la vista, baby.
Anti, Don't be hating on Star Wars and the Darths. Freddy beating ANYBODY outside the dream world is a miracle - that is his whole gimmick, why else do you think that he wasn't a #1 seed?
Did you see Freddy vs. Jason? They really powered him up in that. This ain't the same Freddy that gets handled by 16 year-old girls anymore.
East 1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage) - the lightsabre and space are too great a homefield advantage. Plus...Darth Vader is one of the biggest badasses ever...what kind of bad dreams can he possibly have? 10) Darth Maul - the lightsabre advatage is too great as (my favorite weapon for Dracula) bat guano has no effect on the sabre laser sword. Sets up great elite eight matchup!! West 1) Damian (has homefield advantage) - evil power is hard to overcome as Damian poisons a giant banana...easily killing KK. 2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage) - Gozilla uses firebreath to melt the T1000, then injests the goo to absorb the T1000's unique attributes. T1000 not familiar with Tokyo. Midwest 4) Khan - the mullet pulls out the victory by outwitting Pennywise. 10) Lex Luthor - if Arnold could outsmart The Predator... Southeast 1) Agent Smith (has homefield advantage) - the virtual world advantage. 3) The Alien - after a long battle, The Alien is wounded and as he bleeds onto The Terminator, the robot is eroded away. __________________

OK...so everyone seems to be picking The Predator....I personally think that Luthor could easily outwit The Predator...so with all of this lopsidedness, I asked The Rice Graduate in my office what he thought...and his response was....by definition (remember, it's coming from a Rice grad), a predator chooses to hunt in its prey's environment...like in the movie, The Predator chose to hunt in the jungle, where it's prey was located. So, if The Predator were hunting Lex Luthor, it would go to Metropolis, therefore giving Luthor the homefield advantage. I don't think too many of you thought this through... ...there's some serious bragging rights on the line!!!
EMP = Electromagnetic pulse. If the ships can use it on sentinels, Magneto can take down the entire Matrix. Magneto, may or may not be braindead from doing this, but Agent Smith will be gone.
Wouldn't an EMP inside the Matrix just knock out all the electronics within it since it is just a simulated one?
1) Darth Vader (has homefield advantage) *** Flings Freddy around using the force, just as Freddy would in the dream world. Ain't reality a b****. 4) Freddy Krueger 6) Dracula (has homefield advantage) *** Turns into mist to avoid a killing blow by Maul, then bites him from behind. 10) Darth Maul 1) Damian (has homefield advantage) 4) King Kong *** The big ape has himself a little snack. 3) T1000 *** Allows himself to be eaten or stepped on, then attacks from the inside. Godzilla is powerless to stop his insides from being torn to shreds. 2) Godzilla (has homefield advantage) 1) Pennywise (has homefield advantage) 4) Khan *** Khan > seven idiot kids > Pennywise 3) The Predator (has homefield advantage) *** Using his cloaking abilities, kills Lex before he is aware of the alien's presence. 10) Lex Luthor 1) Agent Smith (has homefield advantage) 4) Magneto *** Computers + magnets = badness 3) The Alien 2) The Terminator (has homefield advantage) If some robotic guns can kill many aliens (see Aliens special edition) I am sure the Terminator will have no problems.
