Pretty good set-up, Movie-Brat. Weren't Cyclops and Black Bolt in the same group as Scarlet Witch in a previous match, though? They would've been tremendous help in this fight, too.
As for the match, yeah, Raph's gonna get creamed here. Unless his colleagues catch up to him pretty quickly, he's also gonna be the Cybermen's next choice for conversion.
Also, my condolences for you losing your friend.

Wow, I was barely able to rate the match on time here. My bad for not voting and commenting on time, though, Johnny.
It was a good set-up, and it looks like many of the heroes are starting to converge. If I had voted on time, I would've agreed with the final vote and said that Sophitia's superior weaponry would've won her the day.
-
Hmmm ... great set-up as usual, Rakai. It looks like Leo and Kyo provided a very good challenge for one another between their collective fighting abilities. I guess Leo's skill with the blade just outmatched Kyo's flame attacks.
BTW, I thought the name Chizuru look familiar, so I checked back and was reminded that she was the one that summoned the clones of the 2012 Turtles for the Mirage Turtles to fight as some kind of test of worthiness earlier in this arc. I wonder if this is gearing up to having the Turtles assisting her in some kind of way ...
Anyways, as for the match, Donnie might just have a tough fight on his hands. I seriously doubt that Chizuru would summon the 2012 clones again, but her normal cloning and other abilities are gonna be tough enough for Donnie to handle. Donatello, however, might have a good chance of countering them and disorienting her with his own abilities, smarts, and gadgets.

Hmm ..., good set-up, Merc!
Nice Old West atmosphere here, as well as good characterization of the cowboys and the pirates.
As for the match, things might be more or less even between both parties until weapons are drawn. Yeah, the pirates are probably going to have the initial edge in melee with their blades, and like the cowboys, some may even have guns. I think the cowboys have the better firearms, though, and that may help them come out on top in the end.
-
Another good set-up, Johnny. As always, good to see you keeping up with this arc.
As for the match, as mentioned, while it appears Sogetsu may initially give Jin a good fight, Jin will probably go Devil and overwhelm him. For Sogetsu's sake, he'd better hope C. Viper finds them and is fresh and powerful enough to assist.
-
Another good set-up, Johnny. Maybe Zangief will catch up with Angel just yet.
As for the match, I think Chun-Li's quicker, but Rachel just might be more powerful overall. This might be a close fight with Rachel's powers giving her the edge, but they both may realize the misunderstanding before either of them gets seriously hurt. This may not happen in time to save Yang from at least getting hurt pretty badly, though.
-
Good set-up, leroy.
Looks like there's going to be quite a battle here. Both are accomplished villains, but since Zemo's actually taken on Marvel Earth's heroes and occasionally come out on top, I think I'd give to edge to him.
-
Another good set-up, Johnny. Glad I'm getting to this one in time. Once again, it's good to see you keeping up with all the various characters. And huh, this Shiki lady kinda looks like a miniature Psylocke with that outfit.
As for the match, I'd have to agree with the general sentiment. Shiki might be too experienced for Yang to beat, but considering that Chun-Li's not that far away and they're all already in a hospital, I like Yang's odds of survival after his loss.
-
Another great set-up, Rakai. Sorry about getting to this one so late. I hope others get around to reading and commenting on this one as well.
Great recap with Raph and Iori. As you mentioned, the fight got properly visceral and intense. Iori seems just like the type to get aggressive and violent when his buttons are pushed, especially when the Orochi in his blood at least threatens to overwhelm him. Raph, though, is also the type to match that aggression when the occasion calls for it.
As for the match? Leo has a shot, but it's gonna be pretty tough. As I think I mentioned in Leo's previous fight, Kyo is probably on par with Terry Bogard in regards to skill and power.
-
And to think, before the season started, you thought you had Drafted a bad team, @Culwych1.
Congratulations, man!
And wow, I kinda lowballed the winner's final score estimation at 300 points.
-
So, let's get around that posting bug and see the results here.
EDIT: Here we go.
Heh, I was expecting this to be a little closer, but Billy rightfully won against an unprepped Doom.
-
I'm kinda leaning toward the Goblins here. As mentioned, they have more experience with actual medieval gear, and odds are that both teams would have custom-fit medieval gear to use.
-
Heh, I was already going to mention the Jolly Green Giant has a more manly appearance and that his meals arguably promise more strength-enhancing nutrition overall.
Then I saw this:

Let's see how many old-school WWE fans are left here:
He had a family, Culwych! He had a family!

Dooms armour has the power of the crimson bands of Cytorrak if that helps against the speed blitz argument? Given he has prep, he should have them already deployed.
Eh, I'm not think the Bands are something Doom regularly pulls out in battle, though. Otherwise, the Fantastic Four would screwed every time.
-
Eh, I think Maxie wins this. Yeah, Calendar Man is more intelligent, but from what I've read he tends to focus more on one-off cases than forming lasting gangs. Maxie, however, forms various gangs every chance he gets.
-
Ah, sorry that I missed out on this one, leroy. Another good continuation of the Pirates of Dark Water arc.
Yeah, after looking up Itachi, I think he would've been too much for the Nasty Boys, too. Maybe if Vertigo were there to try to disorient him, they might've stood a chance, but I'm not even sure how likely that scenario would've been.
-
Heh, Doom facing off against another DC magical flying brick.
Well, Billy's not gonna be as ruthless as Teth, but he should still be able to tag Doom before he could react. Yeah, Doom has his Doombots, but I seriously doubt any of them are going to be wielding extra tools like the Dr. Strange's Eye of Agamotto.
-
I've been gone a lot lately, it seems. Just playing catch-up here.
Yeah, the goblins rightfully won here, but it's a shame we never got to see the goblins and orcs face off in the Draft. They're basically the same creatures, after all.
-
Almost missed this one, too.
Another good set-up, Johnny. Just as I figured, given the circumstances surrounding Helena's and Lidia's tie, things managed to work themselves out.
As for the match, I think C. Viper wins this one. Asuka may make her work long enough for Sogetsu to have his talk with Jin, but as the fight stands, it appears that Viper is too powerful for her between her own abilities and battle suit. Asuka's cockiness probably won't help matters, either.

Holy shit, those results were CLOSE!!
Damn TOO close for Raphael's comfort right there! 6/10 for Raph, 4/10 for Iori... Fuck, that's a tough fight!
Eh, it actually makes sense. Iori's one of the toughest KoF fighters, right?
-
Glad I caught this match on time!
Another great set-up, Rakai. Looks like Leo was just able to outdo Saisyu with his youthful quickness and skill.
One thing I caught though. I see Raph is speaking here:
On 1/2/2022 at 11:29 AM, RakaiThwei said:“LEO, LOOK OUT!” Raphael shouted.
A few paragraphs later, though, it's stated that Raph's still out cold from his fight with Benimaru:
On 1/2/2022 at 11:29 AM, RakaiThwei said:He looked over to his brothers, noticing the looks of anxiety on Donatello and Michelangelo’s faces and then stared over to his fallen and unconscious brother, Raphael.
Maybe another Turtle was supposed to shout out? Just something I noticed, albeit a pretty minor thing.
Anyways, as for the match, I have a feeling Raph has a shot here. Iori looks quite skilled and powerful in his own right, but he also seems awfully arrogant and dismissive in this match. That and his hotheadness just might end up costing Iori here.

Stats-wise, it appears Power Girl has the edge and could potentially take Doom down quickly. The real question here may be: would she?
From what I've seen of Power Girl, she doesn't really have the ruthlessness of, say, Black Adam. She may not really need to take it that far, but it's possibly she may hesitate to finish the job as quickly as she should.
-
Another good set-up, Movie-Brat. I read it days ago, but I didn't have the time to comment on vote on it, unfortunately.
I think the Cybermen rightfully won here. Yeah, Bishop would've provided a good assist and Domino has her own skill and luck factor, but her luck doesn't help her out perfectly (or else she'd never lose) and the odds were pretty stacked against them.

Sorry, but much like with Carol Danvers and others, you gotta look at it from a historical context. Sam has been (and apparently will be again) Captain America for a pretty brief time in his history.
