Battle 1: Soul Eater Rune vs. Frostmourne (First Round)

Contestant Data:

The Soul Eater Rune
Origin: Suikoden I

Posted Image

Also known as the "Rune of Life and Death", this rune represents the two inevitabilities. The Rune bends the fate of those around the bearer and drags them into the clutches of death, essentially eating their souls (as is its namesake), while granting the wearer great power.

Pros:
- Extremely powerful. Has the ability to completely devour the bearer's foes.
- Grants the owner immortality so long as he bares the Rune.

Cons:
- The wearer tends to see those who are beloved to him die, and it consequentially consumes their soul, thus increasing its own power. Basically, the owner is doomed to continue his life alone. In terms of the game's storyline, the soul consumes Tir McDohl's (The true bearer) Father, friend and trusted ally, and Best friend and bodyguard during the game, basically all he's known and loved.
- Only has one true owner, (which it eventually finds). The users of the Rune before it finds the true owner are forced to live miserable lives (Or at least close to...depending on how they live them). Even so, the true owner still has a generally unfavorable life, unable to truly find a place in the world because all they love will be consumed.
- In the manner of the game, it shares the Magic Usage with other runes the character may bare. While this isn't an issue in Suikoden I, it creates an issue in Suikoden II (In which you can equip 3 Runes). All Runes equipped share the same magic abilites, so if you spend all of your Level 1 magic with another Rune, you cannot use the Soul Eater's Level 1 magic.
- Although never voiced within the games, like the other True Runes, it does have a mind of it's own and works on it's own if it needs to. (In the series, there are other True Runes who take other forms and voice and act on their own with no input from others).

------

Frostmourne
Origin: Warcraft III
Used By: Arthus

Posted Image

Pros:
- Immense physical attack.
- Deals 'Chaos' damage, making it effective against every type of armour, and in the realms of the story, capable of slaying divine beings.
- Story-wise, Arthus used it to destroy an entire Scourge base by himself, whereas a whole army pretty much failed.

Cons:
- Has a nasty habit of rending the soul of the wielder and chaining them into eternal servitude to the Lich King.


BATTLE 1 BEGIN!

I think we need to come up with a better rule than: “If we can't clearly decide what's best, let's make it so everyone has wasted their time.” I nominated Frostmourne, so rather than everyone having wasted their time, providing no-one else votes, can we just call it a forfeit and put Soul Eater Ruin through? Seems pointless us both losing out. Actually, seems balls.

It's not a waste of time, if the Frostmourne was matched up with a different weapon then things would have gone completely different. If both weapons abilities are not clear and able to determine an outcome then it will only cause problems in other battles later down the road in the tournament. A victor needs to be decided equally.

According to all the posts, the wielder of the Soul Eater rune can run from the Frostmourne, casting powerful spells as he/she flees. These spells would spell the end for the Frostmourne (such as Hell) BUT I honestly believe if the Frostmourne could get one solid attack on the SE's bearer then it would be game over.

But the question is could he get close enough? What if he struck the SE wielder just as he was being dragged to another dimension? It would be double KO.

So that's a 'no,' then?

I just think we need to find another solution, here let's try the voting idea. If this doesn't work then an outside party will have to come in and make a decision based on the comments posted and facts given.

Frostmourne. Arthas used it to beat Illidan Stormrage (the Lord of Outland and super-badass) in a duel, enough said really.

This settles it, Frostmourne wins. Zidane is an outside mod who has yet to participate in this torunament and since the vote was evenly tied we are going to have to go with Frostmourne so that both contestants don't get dropped.
