They're usually on the order of a dozen poorly worded pieces of shit. For the early rounds they usually get a child drunk,show him the cover then allow him to bash his head against the keyboard until the word count is met.

Fixed because ill never forgive them for that Soloman Kane fight...

Sorry if someone's already mentioned this (I committed the rare cardinal sin of not thumbing back through all pages.)

Any DARK TOWER fans notice that they listed Susan Delgado and Susannah Dean like they are the same fucking person?! Clearly they meant Susannah Dean, since Susan Delgado is, ah, a teenage girl and complete non-combatant. But even considering... Susannah is, IMO, the lamest member of the ka-tet (and no, I'm not sexist or racist.) Especially when you consider how kick-ass it would've been if Roland, Jake, Eddie, or hell, even Pere Callahan or someone had been picked.

Whatever. /end rant

EDIT: After I went all Ren Hoek in the comments section, the guys at Suvudu fixed the error and were classy enough to post about it. The response cracks me up though... They said they had "considered both characters." Anyone who's read DT knows that Susan Delgado deserves .000000001 seconds for a Cage Match, if that.

I mentioned it (along with a few other) a few pages back. Glad theyve changed it.

I dunno if Rake can win it, I mean, (massive TTH spoiler, seriously don't read if you've not read the book)

Spoiler

you just know he'll end up holding Dragnipur against his forehead waiting for someone to smack it into him.

...

Caine could take it all, though, especially if they go with the post-Blade of Tyshalle

Spoiler

I can channel a motherfucking GOD

edition. He could get his back broken and all his limbs hacked off and still manage to kill everyone in the contest with his stumps.

As for Mr. Wednesday...

Spoiler

the gods in Gaiman's books are far from indestructable and actually fairly vulnerable as these things go.

^^this.

I love that he is included though.

Watch with the spoilers. This is an inn thread so anything book related should be tagged.

Ho, whoops! Forgot this was the Inn. My apologies!

[Adjutant Stormy~]

Could someone who frequents the Suvudu site more often than I post on the matches as they come up? Not that most of the characters matter, but I'd like to stay informed on the bracket.

[Terez]

I don't check the site, but I do follow them on Twitter, so I should be able to handle that.

Finally reading Prince of Nothing & after book 1 I can appreciate how ace Kellhus is... Could be very strong contender...

Sweet. Looking forward to reading more, he is a pretty cool dude...

Kellhus as I said earlier is up there. He isn't on the top though. Reason being the gnosis is simply not powerful enough vs. warren magic especially Kurald Galain. Additionally while he is super quick for a human, Rake is one of the deadliest swordsman in all of fantasy being much faster than a 'superhuman'. Intelligence wise Rake is one of the few characters naturally as clever if not more so than Kellhus, granted Kellhus is trained formally to read people, while Rakes intelligence is more of a mystery. Kellhus 1 vs 1 though doesn't really stand a chance. He is someone who needs a few years to cripple a system, he can't deliver out continent busting power instantaneously like Rake can - ideal for a cage match.

Lol johthohar. You correctly state that Rake is indeed vastly superior as a swordsman and in raw magical power. Not to mention he is a Soletaken Eleint. His feats include:A master of Kurald Galain, Starvald Demelain and Chaos
He is the only known slayer of Tiam – and without Dragnipur (although she re-manifests) -
He slew Draconus – he earned his respect as well.
He slew Apsal'ara
He slew Hood
He defeated Kilmandaros (and perhaps Sechul Lath)
He has defeated the Soletaken Elient Galain Lord
He defeated Osserc numerous times
He slew 2 hounds of shadow in a split second while fighting the bunch of them
He forced the hounds and Ammeanas/Cot to withdraw
He sealed the gates to Starvald Demelain
He warred with the pure blood eleints – defeating and trapping many (including the 3 in Shadow)
He trapped defeated and trapped KORBAS LOL (the otataral dragon)
He filled Dragnipur with a huge number of deadly beings from elder gods to powerful mortals
He took on Tay,A'Kar,Hairlock,Tattersail,Calot,Nightchill(an Elder god),Bellurden with cadres of lesser mages supporting them – His power was used to at least deflect onto A'Kar/Hairlock/Tattersail/Calot – killing them all save for Tattersail – leaving Tay unable to stand.
He had Gothos respect
He had the power to defeat Dessembrae
He had the power to destroy Azath
He hammered back Chaos with the pure power of his being, giving gate of Kurald Galain back to the Tiste Andii

Now Quick Ben with the HELP of Hedge raised the earth and hammered back Sukul, Menandore and Lore. They completely underestimated him and didn't think he would even fight back lol. In their frustration Menandore was killed because Lore and Sukul teamed up against her. Lore was then killed by a Moranth Cusser from Hedge. Sukul was then killed by the T'lan Imass. So actually all QB did was hammer them back when they had completely underestimated him. Thirdly All three of those Soletaken were needed to have a chance of killing Ruin, Rakes (weaker brother). So saying they are individually close to Rakes power is nonsense. Unless you weren't implying that.

Rake is as much of TACTICAL GENIUS as anyone in the series. It is often overlooked as he has so much Raw power. Endest Silan, Tulus Shorn and Ruin rate Rake as the most intelligent being they have EVER encountered in over 300,000 years of existence. God/Ascendant or Mortal. Rake laid the impossible trap to capture Korbas. He has warred for 300,000 – 1million years being the most deadly ascendant in MbotF.

Finally in MoI i think it is quick ben who is absolutely petrified of Rake, wanting absolutely nothing to do with him.


Regards.

Those are some amount of spoilers you've got there. You'd be best to tag that.

[JLV]

Indeed. Both of your previous posts are full of spoilers. Best use spoiler tags [*Spoiler] insert text here [/Spoiler*] <- Remove *
