Debate Style as Fighting Style

[Cole Deschain]

All right... we all know that we alllll like to think of debating in combative terms (especially when Tom and Jeff and tearing bloody strips out of each other).

So.

Just for the sheer amusement value of it....

If each debater's style was turned into physical combat, what would it look like?

Ideally, do more than one at a time... and no fair doing yourself. ;)


Saruman- I see a lot of straightforward but powerful strikes. Not a lot of subtlety, just overwhelming power (all those damn screencaps). Superb on offense, a little less on defense, simply because most arguments against him strike him as utterly insane.

Tomzilla- VERY similar, with a lot of powerful arguments, but a bit more playful. Also, of course, he often ends up opposite of Saruman. They're like Ken and Ryu- they play similarly, but butt heads a lot.

Pyras Terran- It's been a while since we really saw Pyras do his thing.... and, appropriately enough, I'd say he "fights" in a tentacular style- A lot of swift jabs coming from all angles. Now, the thing is, sometimes the individual strikes lack oomph, but when taken as a whole, he can be a damned nuisance.

Anguiurs55- Not so big on power as he is on defense- Ang sticks to his chosen position like a damn leech. What's worse, knocking him loose is almost impossible because the bugger does his homework. You may tear down everything around him... but he'll stll be sitting where he was.

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

Cole Deschain - Short, sweet, and to the point.

So, would probably skip the BS and just pull out a gun.

[Godzilla]

Hmm....what do you think is my debating style? Though, I don't really debate much.

[Cole Deschain]

Uh-uh. You gotta do someone else first. ;)

[Godzilla]

Ok....I'll do EM. He swings wildy (With moddest aim) and hopes he connects a punch or 2 (which he usually does, but he doesn't connect with all of them).
I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

[Orga777]

Best topic ever... I will do the Top 5 debators in my opinion.

Saruman: Brutal. As brutal as it comes. He would probably rip flesh off the bone when he is debating something. If anything, he reminds me of like a supervillain of debating. :laugh:

Tomzilla: Tom is just like Saruman when it comes to debating. But he is on the light side of things. He doesn't rip flesh off the bone, he just attack relentlessly. Seeing as he is Saru's arch nemisis, I would say that he is like the hero. since he is easier to get into a non brutal debate against... <.<

Anguirus55: He is just agressive. He will defend his cause no matter what. Out of all the debators, his style is more cut throat I would say. Almost as brutal as Saruman. And Cole pretty much nailed it on the head, he is HARD to knock off his perch...

Cole Deschain: DS got it. Short, sweet, to the point. He will just pull out a pistol and blast away. He doesn't play games. :laugh:

Gorjirus: I have no idea. But to somehow ALWAYS get people to vote for Charles Barkley in a match he HAS to be up here. Maybe he is just an insane guy... >.>

[Godzilla]

Gor is the kind of guy that seems to be doing crazy *** things in a fight that sorta confuse you untill all of a sudden you end up with a knife in your head and the last thought in your head is, Wtf just happened?

[GMK12]

Orga777: Well... not much for *me* to say... but I guess your kinda like... there (not in a bad way of course).

Ang55: Relentless, not very powerful on offense or defense... but you'd better know your in for one long *** debate when facing him. I've traded blows with him before I believe... and it was brutal...

Saruman: I've only heard what this guy does to his opponents... and thank God! I'd hate to be on the recieving end of this guy's scathing remarks... and he is fully defended by his magnificent knowledge of all things Kaiju...

TomZilla: I'd put him as see above... but with like... THE ultimate knowledge on daikaiju...

Now... can some one do me?

[Gorjirus]

Amazing how Charles Barkley completely makes people forget everything else.

And what have I been hiding?

Hehehehehe....

[Orga777]

WTF? No one can think of my style?:laugh:

[EternalMothra]

I just did. ;)

Orga= Very stubborn about his ideals when debating. Seldomly is subject to change. ;) Loves to brawl with me.

Ang55= Powerful debater, often quite to the point.

[Cole Deschain]

WTF? No one can think of my style?:laugh:


You have no style.

Or class. ;)

Honestly, Orga.... based upon your scraps with Gor in the LPTs....

You're very good at following one thread- now, this hamstrings you when something else is thrown into the mix, but in a straight-up tussle, you manage admirably.

However, you're not always adept at responding to a change in tactics, although you CAN adapt if a tactic is used consistently.

So in short, well-rounded, but sometimes single-minded.

[Gorjirus]

I'm lost as to what a LPT.

And GMK12, I think you need to debate more. You are the eager rookie.

I dub thee, grasshopper. Debate more, and better you will become. The better you are, the more respect you will recieve.

I shall contact you for training.

At the Gorjirus Dojo!







I really wish I had that cool Chinese font for that....

[Cole Deschain]

Pfft. The Gorjirus Dojo is just a seminar on how awesome iron Man is. ;)

[Gorjirus]

There was once a time when there was more than Iron Man. And now, Iron Man seems to be the only thing to debate.

Surely you remember that Cole?

Remember that 4 page team battle debate we had one day, which centered on a flying ZF Gigan vs Showa Gamera?

[Cole Deschain]

Those were the days.

[Gorjirus]

Just because I haven't brought it out, doesn't mean it isn't there. ;)

[Cole Deschain]

You know, we DID get a lot more spark back before the rankings had pretty much solidified in the general consensus....

[Gorjirus]

Yeah, those were fun debates.

Which is why I love the addition of the non-movie kaiju to DD, as it adds some much needed variety.

[Raptor]

Favorite debaters (http://www.kaijuphile.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4987&highlight=debaters). Pyras himself started it and there are come solid reasons these folks stand out. :thumbs:

[Gorjirus]

Though I’ll just say SandwormPhish and Black were among the deadliest.


And its sad they seem to be gone for good.

[Gorjirus]

Gojirus - Pretty straightforward brawler, but has a habit of taking advantage of his environment. Shockingly skilled at running to his car, grabbing a wrench, then jumping back into the fray.


I like that one.

[Orga777]

To be honest...your debating style does not seem all that different than mine. You assessed yourself. ;) You are as stubborn as I am HA!

I am stubborn, yes, I agreee. But I am not talking about you being stubborn as getting in over your head... <.<'

Like a couple of those Mothra topics you end up getting triple teamed... or worse... '>.>

[EternalMothra]

Orga my friend...I have seen you double and triple teamed many times before. So you aren't out of the dark. ;)

[Orga777]

Orga my friend...I have seen you double and triple teamed many times before. So you aren't out of the dark. ;)

The only time I get triple teamed is usally debates with comic kaiju. That I know of anyway. And that was only in the SSSIII. I have had help recently :p

What? Do you think I never get any help while debating?:sarcasm:

I'm not double/triple teamed that often.

[Orga777]

<.<' Look... I am just making an assesment... It is not like you aren't good at debating because you are. Didn't think it would rattle your cage that much... >.>...

[EternalMothra]

<.<' Look... I am just making an assesment... It is not like you aren't good at debating because you are. Didn't think it would rattle your cage that much... >.>...

It didn't rattle my cage LOL.

I was just asking a question. ;) Which seemed to rattle your cage just a tad bit.

[Orga777]

All you need to do is learn a technique where you transform into a sexy female version of Tony Stark/Iron Man in order to give Gor a nosebleed. ;)

:intears: Thats great... :laugh:

Poor Gor. His mind is now destroyed. :darklord:

[Gorjirus]

Poor Gor. His mind is now destroyed.

Foolish mortal.

It would take more than vile images and disgust to destroy my mind.

[Orga777]

Would Iron Man killing himself do it? :p Or what about Iron Man turning emo. :p

[Cole Deschain]

Zearatul- Based on some of our scraps. ;)

Staunch on defense, a little slow on the offensive. Occasionally hindered by limited exposure to certain concepts, but not to be trifled with.

When it comes to his areas of speciality, he's well-versed and capable.

[EternalMothra]

Cole: Awesome debater, but is not perfect haha.;) Then again...nobody is I guess.

[Gorjirus]

Would Iron Man killing himself do it? :p Or what about Iron Man turning emo. :p

Impossible.

I read Teen Tony. When IM did kill himself, in so many ways....

[Burkion]

I think the only people I really argue with is Gor.

...usually when explaining something about Jason Voorhees' power.

[PyrasTerran]

Orga, you have been more than triple-teamed concerning your PS3 stance.

maybe I should find somewhere to debate so everyone other than the vets know how i do it..

[Orga777]

Orga, you have been more than triple-teamed concerning your PS3 stance.

Hey...<.< Those don't count. Not my fault that this place is swarming with Nintendo fanatics. And besides, I usually have Saru there backing up the PS3 too. :p

Thats easy! THE DD! Besides, I miss your debating style.

[Raptor]

Thats easy! THE DD! Besides, I miss your debating style.Uh, Irys is facing Monster X this round.... :confused:

[Orga777]

Uh, Irys is facing Monster X this round.... :confused:

So? There are other good matches Pyras could go into.;)

[PyrasTerran]

Uh, Irys is facing Monster X this round....

and i already gave my two cents in that match anyway.

You're right, but there probably is a good reason for why that is ;)

[Orga777]

Oh yeah, you're spot on.

More Lair... :nod:


I think I could stand to come up with a few.

Saruman: Originally, I was convinced that he was an arrogant bully who could never look at something from more than one perspective, but recently I've come to like the guy a bit more. Our debate into the Gamera vs. Kiryu-Goji thread was one of the most fun I've had in months, because we were able to joke around with each other while maintaining a very serious and thoughtful discussion. I have to hand it to him, Saruman's knowledge of science, biology, physics and all that is really amazing, and it definitely helps him appear intimidating in some arguments.

Tomzilla: Tom is to Kaiju as Spongebob is to the Krusty Krab; he loves his hobby way too much. He's easily one of the most monster-enthusiastic people I've ever seen, and his debates show just how interested he is in the genre. His dedication to studying and understanding specific Kaiju is unmatched.

anguirus55: Ang's that guy that would bet on the Texans beating the Colts, or the Columbus Bluejackets winning the Stanely Cup. He always thinks outside of the box and is never affected by what the majority says. The impressive part is, he defends his picks extremley well, so that even if you think he's had a few too many drinks, you have to respect him.

[anguirus55]

:laugh:

I'll get you for that later. :D

[Goji Son]

Saruman: Jeff is akin to the school bully, pinning some stick boy on the ground with his girth while pounding his face in with a giddy smile on his face. He then adds insult to injury with a few loogies to the face and then farts on the kid while they are down. He then proceeds to take his victim's lunch money to use it to buy more hair gel for his sweet mullet he sports.

I haven't debated in a long while, can't really say for myself how I would be.

[Zearatul]

I found a pic of Orc.

This also happens to be a picture of me.

I am not a shark.

[Cole Deschain]

Are you guys anywhere NEAR being on-topic?

No?

I thought not.

[Zearatul]

I thought not.What is this topic you speak of? It sounds like something from a long forgotten dream.

Truth.

RETURNING TO TOPIC SUBJECT

[GMK12]

Indeed Master Parker... Now I had to *actually* research this so please comment...

Saruman: Eskrima ( I see Saru as bringing his facts [symbolized by Eskrima's weapons] to a fight while everyone else brings their fists.)

EternalMothra: I see Master Donny utilizing "Zui Quan" (Drunken Boxing). He seems to have a rather unorthodox pattern in his attacks and like mentioned earlier, jumps into battle without hesitation.

Cole Deschain: I see Master Cole, using Kickboxing.. He holds no fury back when necessary... and uses direct, and effectively hard strikes...

Me: Aikido (Simply protecting myself from injury with only necessary attacks and also looking out for the attackers well-being...)

PyrasTerran: I haven't been here long enough to be able to fully analyze Mr. Terran's style... but It seems akin to Fencing... lots of graceful and "laser-guided" strikes but with using as much caution as necessary based on his opponent...

godofPH: Iaido... he has quick retaliations... although they are rather seen "rarely" and far between... Once drawing blood with his weapon, he removes it from his blade with utter gracefulness and looks for his next opportunity elsewhere...

Seer235: I see Master Seer utilizing Bruce Lee's very on Jeet June Do... he has utmost mental presence in any debate and he throws unnecessary "tradition" out of his style...

And that's all the research I've done so far... I haven't gone TOO into it mind you, but this is what I see in you all right now... I'll try and add more later...

[godofPH]

Hmmm...seems I should define my skills a bit more...

Someone go start a debate on something I'm knowledgeable about!

[GMK12]

Okaaaayyyy... Wii vs Ps3!!! J/K...

EDIT: You'll probably need Master Orga as your sparring partner if you really are serious about your above post hehe... but... I'm sure our superiors would not consent with having your "debate" in this thread...

[EternalMothra]

Drunken Boxing? LMFAO nice. XD

[Orga777]

Yeah. You are all still going to fail. :p

[EternalMothra]

Yeah. You are all still going to fail. :p

Heh...gee thanks. Aren't we an ocean of positivity?

Heh...gee thanks. Aren't we an ocean of positivity?

Your welcome. :p

Your welcome. :p

Arrogance certainly is not positivity. ;)

Arrogance certainly is not positivity. ;)

Pfft. I have plot device on my side. You fail. :p

[EternalMothra]

Pfft. I have plot device on my side. You fail. :p

I have many different personalities on my side. ;) You'll be surprised.:darklord:

[Orga777]

I have many different personalities on my side. ;) You'll be surprised.:darklord:

Then I will have to destroy each one.;)

[EternalMothra]

Then I will have to destroy each one.;)

Oh I'm so terrified. They will all gang up on you.....and rape your little plot device! *DIES LAUGHING/reference to the other thread*

[Orga777]

Oh I'm so terrified. They will all gang up on you.....and rape your little plot device! *DIES LAUGHING/reference to the other thread*

Pfft. Bring it own fool!1! I WIL DESTRY U!!!1

[EternalMothra]

Wow...I'm not the only willing soul here. We know your debating style now. XD

[Cole Deschain]

Kickboxing? Huh.

Funny.

'Cause that's one form I've got little intention of studying. I kick like a duck.

Arnis? Sure. Which is hilarious.... because it's a direct descendant of Escrima...

[BS Digital Q]

Aaaah, Escrima...never thought I'd have so much fun playing with sticks. :D
