Battle of the Badasses (Round One): Jaina Proudmoore vs. Tyrande Whisperwind

[Langianu]

Nuke1096.. I hate you for making this so hard.. knew right away this was gonna be close.. very close.. Went with tyrande though ^^

Doesn't really matter who wins this one since the winner will be matched up against either Gul'dan or Medivh and just get annihilated anyway.

Voted Illidan by the way.

Those 2 shouldn't really be in this bracket, or atleast not Medivh, he's the freaking Guardian of Tirisfal, all the strongest mages uniting their power into one entity. Though, for all it's worth, Garona would win against Medivh, they were former lovers, he can't kill her because she's the mother of his child.

[ItachiZaku]

If Garona goes in for an assassination attempt, there is a slim chance. And the strike has to be perfect.

Doubtful. Therefore, this is like Mother Alien vs Bishop Android. Bye, Garona.

[Huggykaze]

This fight is very not fair... Garona stands no chance, she may be master assassin and stuff, but Illidan fought on pair with Arthas, whom Ner'zhul bestowed all his remaining power, before they merged and regained all their might.

[Mauth]

Maiev may have been around since the War of the Ancients, but she did not defeat Illidan. She simply got appointed head warden by the person that DID defeat Illidan... Shan'do Stormrage.

Though the same could be said for Sylvannas pre-Banshee vs Arthas. Not to mention that the high elves live as long as Night Elves, it is arguable to say that she was also around during the War of the Ancients, giving the two equal combat skills. ( besides, in WC3, even the younger heroes could defeat Maiev... Arthas, Jaina, Thrall, etc. )

The Dark Ranger
vs
The Warden

-- Ring of Valor --

The locale is the true deciding factor in this fight. The Ring of Valor does not favor a rangers style of combat... in fact, no arena favors a rangers style of combat, as seen in Warcraft 3 - during the Elfgate events. IE: Hit and Run tactics. Maievs style is that of a rogue ( even to the inclusion of Fan of Knives ).

In short - the first few rounds would be Sylvannas getting in some strong shots before Maiev closed distance, but with blink, that would be extremely easy. Once Maiev gets in close, the fight is over... just like any other hunter.

[Huggykaze]

Grom of course... Cairne got beaten by Garrosh, who by all means is not stronger than his father who was epicly awesome.

[ItachiZaku]

While you can't really solo Jaina, she dies pretty quickly. I got Tyrande, plus her name is just really cool.

[Phenomina]

No stupid. Maiev lied and got Malfurion to help him interrupt Illidan's spell which would've destroyed Icecrown and Frozen Throne. Illidan didn't just simply lose to Arthas, Maiev stopped him from killing him.

Dumb bitch was arrested for doing this, Illidan left Azeroth peacefully blahblabhanothingyousaycanchangethefactthatyourwrongand yourargumentsarebad.

Malfurion had felt Illidan's spell tearing the land apart and concluded that he was a danger to the world and had to be stopped.

That spell would have destroyed the world not just the frozen throne. When Illidan fought Arthas in combat he lost, it had nothing to do with Maiev get your facts straight.

Bro, you're seriously implying that Maiev is a stronger lore character than the Banshee Queen of the Forsaken? I think it's pretty clear who the fucking idiot fanboys posting in this thread are.

Just because Sylvanas has more " lore " based around her doesn't make her strong at all, as history has shown she gets her ass kicked at every other turn.

Truth hurts Bucky.

Sylvanas ofc

Maiev only gained exp in hunting down Illidan and even in doing so, she needed help from 40 player and Akama.

Sylvanas singlehandedly trapped Arthas (who only could escape with the help of Kel'Thu iirc), forced an Dreadlord into submission and defeated 2 other.

Even if both had the same amount of experience, syl would win, b/c she was more determined to fighting in general.

40 players? no wonder my guild struggled on Illidan we were short 15 guys

Sylvanas has less fighting experience then Maeiv and there is no one more determined then Maeiv

[Phenomina]

Where do people get their lore from? Grom was the most powerful orc aside from maybe Broxigar, but Brox is a lolKnaak Hero.

Grom is not "weaker" then any orc, smaller? maybe, but weaker? not even close. he is the Undertaker of Orcs (undefeated).

For people saying Grom is not as smart as Cairne, again wrong. Grom was notorious for being ruthless, and cunning as he was bloodthirsty and powerful.

Broxigar, Saurfang, Rexxar and Doomhammer I believe are much stronger then Grom. Grom was ruthless and effective but he also had an unfair advantage in the demon taint. Without that demon blood he was a tough Orc but not on level with those others

As for his undefeated title I'm pretty sure Manny killed him unless hes retired on some island I'm not aware of. The fight was a draw both killed each other.

[Huggykaze]

Tyrande has only 10k years of experience, not combat experience, since she's a high priest of Elune(yes she battled the demons omg omg)she awoided combat, and if she went to it, she got captured or ambushed.And from those 10k years she battled lets say 100 years tops,rest was blabla with Elune

If Tyrande was in some sort of instance , she would be the type you escort from cage to exit.

You my friend lack knowledge of all wars Night Elves led... Tyrande FOUGHT in both legion invasions, Elves also led wars against Satyrs, that I don't belive lady like Tyrande who kills everyone who encroaches her forests would miss. Tyrande also helped Maiev fighting Illidan forces at Broken Isles. Actually out of faction leaders etc. only Furion and MAYBE Thrall can match her, oh and Grom could do it;D. Your arguments here are patheticly baseless btw...

And

As the undead forces advanced, Tyrande called down the fire of the stars to crush all enemies of her people, and the lines of undead fell before her. But as she neared victory, the bridge she was on crumbled away, and Tyrande was swept up the river, deeper into undead territory. Maeiv told her blood elf allies to help her hunt Illidan rather than save Tyrande.

Encountering some remnants of her forces, Tyrande held out on a small island as the undead harassed her time and time again. Their tireless assaults began to wear away at the stalwart Sentinels, and Tyrande feared that they would be lost. But, to her surprise, Illidan battled his way to her and rescued her, bringing her through a portal to a safe area.

She's better than Tirion at killing undead^^

[matiwariat]

i voted for sylvanas and im just going by what well i see in wow right now, i only saw maiev like once in bt , while sylvanas was and is present here. im probably a fanboy but ohwell

[Quincey]

40 players? no wonder my guild struggled on Illidan we were short 15 guys

Sylvanas has less fighting experience then Maeiv and there is no one more determined then Maeiv

1 - I was thinking that ha-ha

2- Her determination was against one target alone, she wouldn't have anywhere near the same fury fighting Sylvanas, She is(was) one of her own race after all

I voted Sylvanas, it seems to me that in an arena style grudge match Maeiv wouldn't be looking to prove herself to anyone, she already got her pray (well I had to do it for her but whatever :P), Whereas Sylvi is constantly trying to prove her own personal strength and wouldn't hesitate to fight dirty. Cant melee someone sat happily in sea of Plague! - and Maeiv without her melee attacks is pretty much fail. She would be damned into sitting there eating the ranged attacks of the (second?) greatest archer to have lived.

Victory for slyvanas!

[Deleted]

maiev would win, shes been around alot longer than sylvannas, infact she has 10000+ years of expirience, and has also seen alot more strife than sylvannas

[Kaosadvokit]

With Kael'thas, Anitondis, and Medivh's mom dead, Jania is more likely than not the most powerful mortal Mage alive. If she's not, she's second only to Me'dan. Tyrande may be a powerful Priestess, but I have faith that Jaina's superior mastery over magic, as well as her insanely analytical and reactive mind will overwhelm Tyrande in the end. Jania's only real weakness was Arthas, and he's dead.

Do ppl not know who the fuck Rhonin or Khadgar are?

[Aurabolt]

Apparently he doesn't >.>;

Though you have to admit Rhonin is OP in the Books and we haven't seen Khadgar in action since he went to Outland >.>;
