Douglas Classic Season Two #4 - 'MAGICAL GREEK!'

[Two-Bit Specialist]

And to follow up with this talk of Mjolnir, Herc uses a mace that has the same properties as that of Mjolnir. Did I mention he also has weaponry that has been MADE BY A GOD?! Have you read those stories where the gods forge weapons? We're talking Achilles and Aeneas, and even Perseus! You've seen what they can do. Herc's weapons would surely best BRB.

Bill's high speed and reaction time make him a difficult target to pursue.

[George Berryman]

I'm not even talking about what's forbidden/allowed in Fight Club right now Two-Bit! You just tried to tell this Thor and Beta Ray Bill fan that Bill=Thor and that Storm Breaker=Mjolnir and this Thor and Beta Ray Bill fan is correcting you.

[Two-Bit Specialist]

This is my final appeal. This is straight from the highest authority in Fight Club:

Galactus tends not to "brawl." He did eat a planet Bill was on and Bill still lived. Bill's also kicked the crap out of a couple of Heralds before.

Hercules stronger than Bill? Probably. Bill had a better weapon.

Bill also had flight and the advantage of range. Hercules can leap about 100 ft. in the air - nothing like the Hulk. But Hercules did have way more experience in combat than Bill.

That's it from me, you guys. It was a good run and from the looks at the votes it may be the end of it, but we still got a couple of hours.

I'm off to a late lunch. I'll see you in a little while.

Have a nice lunch. Eat some bacon.

Everything I said stands and i haven't said anything to contradict that here - though I notice you didn't underline the also-very-important 'stronger than' or 'experience' part of those quotes. Experience does matter. Especially when you have centuries worth and your opponent has... not as much. Hercules is also better fighter period.

Experience is the reason Captain America beats the Hell out of people way more powerful than he is. Just how important is experience? Let's ask talented actor Bruce Campbell.

Herc vs. Sentry & Venom - Followed by Herc vs. the Beyonder!

Herc vs. Sentry & Venom - Followed by Herc vs. the Beyonder!

Damn after seeing Herc take on sentry and Venom like that I think I'm changing my vote!

Last minute drama!

The Herc vs. Sentry & Venom thing... I'd forgotten about it. I'd also forgotten about Herc punching the Beyonder and I read that back in the mid-80's! I am gettin' old!

...Screw it.

I concede defeat. I knew it was a losing battle long before I accepted the fight. Too bad I didn't listen to my gut instinct.

They are evenly matched and I think that's played out in the voting here. Plus it sets Beta Ray Bill up to lay some smack down next season. And Herc as well.

[Spider-Girl]

Herc taking down fan favorite Venom!



Herc vs. Hulk



Herc vs. some Avengers

[George Berryman]

"It's all over but the shouting out in Whitehall as Beta Ray Bill narrowly falls to Hercules in a real back and forth match."

"Yeah it got pretty hairy Cap. Congrats to Two-Bit Specialist for a hard fought match and to Spider-Girl on her first ever Douglas Classic win. She's headed on now to face FSUSpiderFan."

"Then she has her work cut out for her! For Logan and everyone at Crawl Space Fight Club this is Captain America saying "Buy U.S. War Bonds!"

"HAH!"

Great match guys. A two vote loss is nothing to be ashamed of Two-Bit. Sucks, but it was still a good match. That was a heck of a first showing in the Douglas Classic.

Congrats to Spider-Girl.

[George Berryman]

That was a heck of a first showing in the Douglas Classic.

Aye!

Congrats to Spider-Girl.

Aye!

[Spider-Girl]

Thanks for the fight, Two-Bit. You were a great dance partner and it was an honor!

[Two-Bit Specialist]

Unbelievable.

Reading what Thrawn and CrazyChris were saying earlier made me reflect on how much effort I put into this fight. I spent several hours coming up with my opening remarks, scouring the web for scans and videos and rereading the available chronological histories of both Bill and Herc. I saw those scans of Herc beating both Venom and Sentry, but I thought the Galactus thing would make up for it... I was glued to the screen of both my computers and my phone, shooting down any possible counter until I could no more... I was distraught because my opponent(s) seemed to provide arguments so effortlessly, while I struggled all along the way. Then people kept voting against me without leaving any feedback... Finally, those scans showed up and everything unraveled so quickly. It was pitiful.

I was never very good at debating, ever. It sounds melodramatic, but after pouring so much of, well, myself into this match and seeing it all end like this... maybe Fight Club just isn't for me. I still have the Battle Bowl, but after that, maybe it's best if I retire.
