Agreed but with that being the case, how does Granny beat River then? Outside of a cage I'd back Granny every time, but in close quarters Granny wouldn't have nearly enough time to get going before River has crossed the canvas and sliced her apart.
Same thing goes for Molly and Wonder Woman, it would be a tighter contest if the arena were larger and Molly could get a few spells off (and apparate) but in a cage, Molly would barely have got a syllable out before Diana has piledriven her into the mat.
I think anyone who is a little psychic would cover in fear at the things that go on in Granny's head. If you're using the 'last appearance' criteria, then River is also less batshit insane which is probably not to her advantage :V
My theory on how Diana vs molly is plausible is just that WW wouldn't want to beat up someone's mom.
I chose my answers based on who would win, not who was my favorite. It does sadden me that Azula and Toph were looseing. Toph was up agains someone who sounded downright normal to me and she is looseing. She CAN BEND METAL she could use the stage against them. And Azula would just burn them.
Oh, I meant participants in general - most if not all of the "omg, vote for THIS person" stuff shows bias which is unrelated to the actual abilities/skills of the characters as deciding factors in the premise of the contest.
For the most part I agree with the voting but will someone tell me how Donna beats Ripley, assuming this is regular Donna and not DotorDonna. Same question for Elizabeth Bennet vs. Anya (it's not, I notice, the Elizabeth from P+P+Zombies!)
I made the assumption that the fights take place after then end of the characters last appearance, in which case Buffy beats Matilda who lost her telekinesis at the end of the book. So really Alanna should also have one up on Oracle (unless Barbara pulled the 'don't hit me I'm in a wheel chair' card and then sucker-punched the Woman Who Rides Like a Man.
In fact the only one I flipped a coin for was Ginny vs. Rose.
In some cases I think the characters are hampered by lack of familiarity - if people don't know who they are, they won't get voted for. I think that's probably Alanna's problem.
But the thing is, as I understand it, it's not literally about which of the two characters would win in a fight (although it's presented that way) - in the previous post, she explicitly says "So I guess imagine that I'm asking you which character you'd most like to have icons of/fic about/etc."
Some of those votes really didn't make any sense. If you hadn't mentioned who would win in a steel cage match, then I wouldn't have known why I should have voted for certain characters. And, honestly, Wonder Woman losing to Molly Weasley?? WTF??

Wonder Woman beats everyone. Or maybe Scully does.

Plus, she's faced down a lot of scary things before, I don't see her easily falling just because River outmatches her physically.

I swear. This thing completely baffles me. Wtf?
(Because popularity has NOTHING to do with the premise, yet that's what carrying the votes. ARGN.)
