Battle of the Badasses (Bracket Finals): Arthas Menethil vs. Grom Hellscream

[Ashrana]

Arthas. Just remember how bad ass he was in WC3. He would crush Grom with his bare hands.

[Deleted]

Voted Arthas but looks like Grom will win this
From my pov Arthas defeated Illidan , Illidan defeated Archimond's right hand Tichondrius.
Grom died when killing Manaroth who was himself a lituenent of Archimond , he also requierd Thrall help to kill him.
So yeah stop voeting Grom you pansy orc fanboys QQ

[CyborgOctopus]

I think people have just had enough of arthas after this whole expansion centered around him

[Kaynot]

actually Arthas already defeated several orcish clan chiefs(some blademasters among them).I cant remember the name of that WC 3 mission,but in the end Arthas and Kel´thuzad contact Archimonde through Dark Portal-like gates.
I think the best opportunity for Grom would be to disarm Arthas and after that use Bladestorm.In that case i vote for Grom.

i didn't see any other clan chiefs one-hitting a pit lord though. and Mannoroth has even been their leader.

Arthas, his one lines were amazing in Warcraft 3 and he definatly was the most badass character

Arthas: Muradin's dwarves? Doesn't anyone stay dead anymore?

A Nerubian: Look, brothers! The traitor king!
Arthas: Who? Me?
Anub'arak: He is referring to me, death knight.

Arthas
reason: WC3
:P

[bigjenk]

Yeah, Grom has experience, but Arthas was taught by the best, both in the ways of the warrior and the ways of necromancy, he was taught by the best.

Arthas was taught by great fighters but grom is the best. Non lk arthas gets roflstomped, also he had just started using a sword after being a mace weilder Grom is "blademaster:.

[Deleted]

Voted for Grom because he is ten times more badass then Arthas

[bigjenk]

Arthas
reason: WC3
:P

You mean reason wc3 winner grom. Arthas pulled a blade grom killed a demigod in his realm, and one shot the most powerful pitlord.

If you remember Arthas(LKs Champion) beat Illidan. A 10,000 year old NE empowered by both the Dark Titan and demonic artifacts.

I don't think Grom's exp is a huge bonus in this one.

Yeah grom beat a infinitely old demigod though and a very old pitlord.

[Kidoeng7]

Grom is a far more respectable lore char than mr. Menethil there who didnt do amnything else but getting a cursed sword to make him great!!!

[Aris]

GoGo Grom

Arthas pulled a blade =/= Grom drinks some blood

What did arthas do without frostmourne... oh yeah culled strat that is about it. As many other have said pre lk arthas doesn't have the skill to handle grom in his prime. He killed malfurions big homie in his home with the back up of the forest. Frostmourne doesn't just auto steal souls just look at the illi fight. And also by time of wrath gate he has the full power of nerzul in him and frostmourne has gathered thousands of more souls making it stronger.

Also pretty obvious from tirion fight that he doesnt use a weapon chain grom windwalk crits disarms then bladestorms ftw.

Also arthas is just a whiny boy. He is one of the least menacing villians on average throughout his carreer.

---------- Post added 2010-08-31 at 09:41 AM ----------

Also frostmourne can't help him for jack if he doesn't see the killing blow coming.

[Shamslam]

How Pre-LK Arthas are we talking? He was being spoonfed the LK's power when he fought Illidan, imo it wouldn't count. Walking into your court as a hero and slaying your dad? That's pretty badass. But taking down a demigod and arguably the most powerful pitlord? Also quite badass. It's a good one. :d
