Is it possible to list ties in a CBUB record? I just think it would be a good way to show a matchup happened and it would be a little less disheartening when a setup you have worked on ends in a tie.

4th place IKA (Scratch) (ouch) 3rd place Gizmo Hibiki 4.77 2nd place broadwaybeyonder 4.90 1st place and winner of the writer's challenge #3 - JohnyChany 4.93

As with the title of this thread, I wanted to make an announcement. My wife and I are expecting our first child here in August or so. With that said, I know that a lot of my time will soon be shifted towards the raising of our child. It's funny to think back to the days of Electric Ferret all the way until now. This site has been a great escape for me. I've been able to use my imagination to create matches, aand I've gotten to see the imagination run wild with a lot of you. All of you have been great inspirations in my writing. So this is not necessarily goodbye as I want to continue reading your stories and ideas for the times to come, but eventually there may be a time when I won't have as much time to be here. Thank you all

Yeah missed opportunity I would have also voted for Team TNG and not just because I had a huge crush on Deanna Troi when I was young. But it doesn't hurt either lol.

Here's my entry, and it's also a continuation of Project: Rehab.

As much as I was never a fan of Scooby Doo, I have to admit Daphne and Velma probably have the best chance here. As mentioned, Betty is an athlete, but I've never seen brawling as really her or Veronica's thing. AFAIK, Velma's not an athlete herself, but she and Daphne have been in their fair share of danger being in Mysteries, Inc. If we count Buff--, I mean Daphne from the live action films, then she soloes.

Pretty good set-up, Venom. R.I.P., Yoshi. 😢😋 I was wondering how and if the Turtles were going to stand a chance against a kaiju, but Genie was awful helpful here. As for the match, four skilled ninja turtles that are each Gamera's size should be more than a match for him.

Betty's actually pretty athletic, arguably more than Daphne or Velma. But Veronica's pretty much useless.

I'm going with Rawhide as well.

Not a western fan so I had to look at guys. Rawhide Kid seems to be the better gunslinger. Two-Gun Kid got moved to modern times but I'm not giving him that advantage here. Calamity Jane's not going to stop anything.

I liked the night shift but it looks like the battle royal wins it. I like that one too.

I would think that the 1987 TMNT might have a slight chance, because they have had some situations where they have been turned giant size.

Ah, Sir Daniel, it's been awhile. When I think of SSJRuss's matches, Sir Daniel Fortesque is always the character I think of. Although I'm not overly familiar with the character, I get a good sense of him from your writing. Nice work.

I'll throw in my vote for the rumble as well. It was a fun mix of characters and an intriguing mechanic of having the winner absorb more powers. I'd be curious to see who you would throw in the second time around.

We need another Battle Royal. 😉

After looking him up for a previous match, I'd have been kind of inclined to vote for Michael "Lord of the Dance" Flatley. Don't know and Ren or Johnny, but Flatley is actually a boxing enthusiast and used to do so pretty regularly in his youth.

It'a not complicated, just very tedious. I'll be able to put up a full list this weekend.

Good to see you again Pizzaguy

THE BOTTOM LINE Bizarro flew through the air dodging the enormous boulders of snow and ice that Hugo threw at him. The Abominable Snowman rolled up another projectile as he called out. “You should really stop messing around, George. I am the best snowball thrower on my block. I really am.” He hurled the snowball and it finally connected with it’s target. The force of the hit sent Bizarro spiraling down dangerously close to the ground before righting himself. “ME NAME IS BIZARRMPH!” Bizarro’s roar was interrupted by another snowball clocking him in the face, pushing him back several feet. The snow quickly melted as Bizarro’s eyes glowed red. “You better stop or Bizarro make you sorry!” Hugo bounded across the snowy plain and scooped up Bizarro. “Not until you learn to behave yourself, George. This will hurt me more than it hurts you. It sure will.” Hugo lifted Bizarro up in a giant fist and Bizarro unleashed his heat vision. The Abominable Snowman looked in disbelief as his fist and right arm started to melt away until it had completed disappeared. He stared up at Bizarro in shock. “Why’d you do that, George? Don’t you want to be my bunny rabbit?” “BIZARRO IS NOT BUNNY RABBIT!!!” Bizarro screamed at the top of his lungs. “Me am Bizarro! Me will make you pay for not leaving Bizarro alone!” Hugo held his left arm across his chest and sank to his knees in the snow. Tears started to pour down his snowy cheeks. “But I don’t want to be alone, George. I don’t like to be lonely. I’ve nobody to talk to or play with. And if anybody comes to visit, they always run away from me.” Bizarro hovered above the sad Snowman. The sight of the giant creature seemed to trigger something in the Superman clone. How many times had he felt that the world saw him as nothing but a monster, something to run away from, when all he wanted was to be a hero? As Hugo tears began to freeze into icicles, Bizarro’s anger subsided. He slowly descended to earth and picked up as much snow as he could carry. “What are you doing, George?” Hugo asked. “Bizarro am trying to help Snowman,” replied Bizarro. “Me think.” Moving quickly, Bizarro shaped the snow into a new right arm. Lifting it up to Hugo’s shoulder, he exhaled a blast of cold super breath. The snow began to harden and merge with Hugo’s frozen body. Hugo’s face brightened as he held up his repaired arm. “Look, George! You fixed my arm! You are the best bunny rabbit in the whole world!” Hugo brought Bizarro into a big bear hug. “Me name is not…” said Bizarro, before stopping himself and smiling. “Me mean… you’re welcome, citizen.” “Please, George, call me Hugo. How can I ever thank you for fixing my arm, George?” Bizarro thought for a moment. He glanced back at the plateau where he had attempted to build his Fortress of Solitude. “Well… Maybe Hu-go can help Bizarro build For-Trizz again?” Hugo nodded happily. “Oh yes, George! I’m the best For-Trizz builder on my block! Uh, what is a For-Trizz?” “Don’t worry! Bizarro will show Hu-Go!” Superman scanned the Himalayas with his super vision as he flew by. He knew Bizarro had been heading this direction. Superman was very disappointed that his clone still couldn’t stay out of trouble. Even giving him his own planet to ‘protect’ wasn’t enough to keep him from coming to Earth and endangering human lives. Then, Superman’s ears picked up the unmistakable sound of Bizarro’s voice. Directing his eyes to the source of the sound, Superman couldn’t believe what he saw. There was Bizarro and a giant creature setting up blocks of ice and piles of snow. “This a good spot, George?” “Yes, that is real good, Hu-Go! Us need more snow for the roof!” “I’ll get it, George! Yep, I sure will!” Superman grinned and turned to head back to Metropolis. It seemed that Bizarro was quite content in his new home. Superman could check on him later, but maybe now he’d finally turn over a new leaf, now that he had finally found himself a friend.

Nice work. Happy to have you returning to this.

Unless McCabe and Irons are pretty damn clever and/or lucky or can call in back-up from the League, I think the villainesses will win this. Aside from what's been mentioned, Superman defeated Corey Mills by plugging the power grid into the weak spot in his suit. Since Steel invented the suit, he would definitely know about that. Livewire could also send a powerful current right into that spot. Between this and Lock-Up being a normal human, Team 1 is pretty much the weak link. Other than that, the heroes have no real way to counter Livewire and Volcana with their own abilities, so as mentioned, I think the bad girls probably take this.

Judging off that video, it doesn't look like Yoshi is too fond of sharp weapons (although he does apparently eat some spiky things). So he might be able to gobble up Mikey and Donatello's weapons, but that's it. Even without their weapons, they should be able to take him down with their martial arts training. If Yoshi is bold enough to try and eat a whole turtle, there is no way he is devouring all four before they put him down. Very violent imagery for the characters involved lol.

Hmm, Volcana and Livewire are pretty tough villains, I think they can beat the rogue cops and escape before the JLU gets there. Livewire could probably shortout Corey's suit, and Volcana would torch Lockup.

Another good DCAU/Looney Tunes set-up, broadway. You have Bizarro and Hugo as in-character as I remember them. As for the match, it's actually hard to tell who's stronger here. Yeah, Hugo tossed the saucer toward Earth, but since the ship is actually traveling pretty slowly and not spinning as if it's been tossed, it's also possible that Hugo's toss merely triggered the ship's flight mode. Hugo's strength, durability, etc., also isn't tested otherwise. When he tightly hugged both Bugs and Marvin, he didn't exactly smother them, so I'm not sure he'd actually be able to do so with Bizarro. We also don't know if Hugo has some level of toon force. Meanwhile, DCAU's Superman has redirected a comet away from Earth, moved huge structures, and out-punched his universe's Darkseid, so Bizarro should be able to do the same. It may not come to blows, though. In Hugo's debut, The Abominable Snowbunny, he was melted by the sun. If Bizarro discovers that (which is a toss-up, given it's Bizarro), a steady dose of heat-vision should win this for him.

Really fun fight, Broadway. That video definitely helped sway my opinion. Seeing Hugo toss a UFO like a frisbee to Earth combined with the fact that this is the DCAU Bizzaro is leading me to vote for the abominable snowman.

Yeah Rama is going to be hard to beat. There's some guys I can think of but Madison Lee got by a couple of times and Beatrix got cut short by Rama himself. Loving it.

It's between Achilles and Mathayus and I say Mathayus if he's in covanant with Anubis. Without this it would be closer and maybe Achilles could beat him out.

Yeah, looking at Nine (which I don't mind in the least, BTW ), she's got that powerful magic on top of her fighting skill. Any edge in fighting skill Jamie may have over her may be more than made up for in that case. Arthur's, well, just a smart serial killer, which won't really help him here.

Great installment, Venom. Curious, do you have a list of everyone you want to put in this or do you just peruse the database and see what strikes you?

I'm going with the Triceratons. I think they can outlast the Jem'Hadar

Brightburn is just too durable. He tanked a freaking jetliner. Neither Andrew nor Carrie have shown to have the TK power to match that.

If the Noid is there, it would just be a matter of using a Dominos to counter him. Thankfully they're in Khazan and not in New York City.

In terms of skill team 1 is better but team 2 would be more powerful. I've never looked into Ninja Steel but the Ninja Storm rangers were actually the bottom of the barrel. Trained they may be but they weren't the prize students of the Wind Academy. I'll go with team 1.

Heh, now I'm having some kind of '80's flashback. Good set-up, Venom. You even managed to throw in a wisecrack that '80's Raph might say. As for the match, about the only time I remember Noid being successful was in his own self-titled NES game from way back when. I think the pizza-crazed '80's Turtles should be able to easily thwart him, if they and/or the Noid don't get snuffed out in the process.

Rama spent the whole movie being wore down. Vernita ain't getting the better of him. She already had a nice little run in the story anyway.

Rama took out Beatrix so almost by default he should beat Vernita. Although I do like that you put into your setup elements that would give Vernita a stronger chance such as her being fresh and Rama being worn down.

In my opinion Samurai are some of the best martial artists in the franchise. I think Jayden and Shiba would need their powers to beat Billy and Jimmy so I'll give the Lees my vote.

I attempted to update the website and made a rather dumb critical error. The website went down and I was not able to figure out how to get it back online. After a bit I was able to find a way to get a hold of @Fox. It was through his generosity and skills that the website was saved once more.

Great job, stormchaser! This would be a tough one. Could go either way

Interesting and entertaining match up, Venom! Not sure who I would go with in this one

Wow! The first major Salor Moon villain in a match! I give the setup a 5.0.

Good entry, Gizmo, and interestingly written in almost a first-person narrative style. Didn't know you were old enough to know about Double Dragon. As for the match, Billy and Jimmy will no doubt put up a brave fight, but I don't think they can handle someone that regularly tangles with the Sailor Scouts. Even trying to stall this Queen Beryl chick would seem like a very dangerous task for them.

Fantastic match, Mercenary. Really enjoyed the setup. Also appreciate the video because that thought did occur to me. Been awhile since I saw Willow. Looked up some clips, I think the graceful moves of Inigo will win him this fight.

A great setup and entry, Broadway. As soon as I saw the match I had uncomfortable flashbacks to House of 1,000 corpses. Definitely don't want that for April. I think with Charley's help, she can prevail. Especially if we are counting her fighting ability from Shredder's Revenge.

Close one. I think Beatrix can just edge Rama out but man he could take this.

Wonderful news. I've been living it for almost ten years now. Do something when you can homie.

Congratulations, @Boratz!

That is awesome dude, congratulations.

Congratulations! 🙂

Nice to have you back. 🙂
