Real Ultimate Showdown FINAL ROUND

October 11, 2007 by Dave

Real Ultimate Showdown - Final Round - Bracket

So it has come to this at last. 32 entered, and after this round, only one will leave, proving once and for all who the coolest group out there.

The road had been long to reach the final round. There were many surprise upsets along the way- some big favorites were knocked out early. We had no idea when it started that it would come down to this classic D&D matchups… but the people have spoken. Wizards and Dragons rock. But which one will win out?

Voting will end October 17 at 11:59 PM. VOTE FOR WHO YOU WANT TO WIN in this final round of the Real Ultimate Showdown!

The Challengers

Dragon

Dragons

Defeated:
Knights
Ninjas
Vampires
Jedi

Snowpaws, who picked Dragons as the ultimate champion, had this to say: “I’‘ve always loved dragons.  There was a pewter miniature scene I remember wanting when I was young.  It had a knight advancing on a dragon, but between them stood a princess, protecting her dragon.  I wanted to be her.”

Wizards

Wizards

Defeated:
Demons
Space Rebels
Secret Agents
Pirates

The Main Event, who picked Wizards in the first round to take it all, had this to say about them: “ I chose wizards because despite the instructions of the contest, Wizards are always depicted as insanely powerful and versatile. It almost always takes a Wizard (maybe along with friends) to best another powerful Wizard.”

    Dragon eats wizard…game set match

    Dragons…if they can beat Jedi, Ninjas, Vampires, and Knights, they can beat anything!…at least a wizard…without the knight blocking all the melee attacks, the wizard is screwed…

    Not to mention the fact that the wizard for the first time, doesn’t have the advantage of spellcasting over his collasal competitor…

    This isn’t a match at all…

  3. TheMainEvent says

    Its a marathon, not a sprint, I’m sure Wizard support will rally.

  4. steve says

    October 11, 2007 at 4:19 pm

    your moms a marathon…OOOOoooOOOO

  5. Reverend Mike says

    October 11, 2007 at 8:48 pm

    Your dad’s a sprint…

    It seems like few people are considering the pictures posted, what if the Wizard is riding a SUN?

  7. Denise says

    October 12, 2007 at 8:25 am

    I confess, I was so impressed by the wizard’s picture that I voted for wizards this round.

    But I still think dragons are going to win.

  8. Blumpkin says

    Dragons sure did get the toughest schedule. I applaud them for a well played season, no matter how the Super Brawl ends.

  9. joshx0rfz says

    October 12, 2007 at 11:37 am

    Good name, Super Brawl.

  10. steve says

    October 12, 2007 at 1:29 pm

    the good Picture just means wizards are better at PR and advertising then dragons!

  11. Bartoneus says

    October 12, 2007 at 2:53 pm

    The Wizard. is RIDING. a SUN.

    Game over man, game over!

  12. Reverend Mike says

    October 12, 2007 at 2:59 pm

    If a wizard riding a sun is an equal (or apparently easy) match for a dragon, then what does that say about wizards in general?…

  13. BugHunter says

    October 12, 2007 at 4:54 pm

    What’s the only thing better than a dragon? A Robot-Dragon…amirite

    🙂

    It’s kind of funny though because you almost never see dragons depicted as ultimately victorious in just about anything, except against other Dragons. Plucky heroes should have been a category too!

  15. Reverend Mike says

    October 13, 2007 at 2:28 am

    If y’all knew Malachy the Benevolent, the knights would’ve won…

    No doubt in my mind…

  16. BugHunter says

    October 15, 2007 at 2:36 pm

    OK, google didn’t find me much. Who is this Malachy you refer to? Is it a book? Is it worth reading?

  17. Reverend Mike says

    October 15, 2007 at 3:53 pm

    Google won’t find you anything…’tis personal experience through the greatest D&D character I ever played…first time I tried out a class from PH2…he single-handedly took down a Balor when he was lv. 20…’twas meant to kill off my character as a plot device we had discussed earlier, but by incredible chance, he just didn’t go down…

    Ruined his campaign…and made me try to build weaker characters so it’d be more challenging to play…

  18. The Game says

    October 17, 2007 at 12:41 am

    The class was Knight, I assume? By far my favorite new core class.

  19. Reverend Mike says

    October 17, 2007 at 7:58 pm

    Most definitely…

    I’m too good at making characters conbat savvy…

    I had a halfling sorcerer who was the official “fighter” of the party once…

    His spear kilt EVERYTHING!…

  20. Bartoneus says

    October 18, 2007 at 9:02 am

    I would say in that case you failed at making a sorcerer. 😛

  21. Reverend Mike says

    October 18, 2007 at 7:56 pm

    He enchanted it himself…

    The spear alone was alright, but with shocking burst and lightning bolt 5/day…became scary…

    I just rolled some good stats…

    But enough about me…

    Dragons are stepping on wizards…and hard…

  22. eL DIABLOOO says

    July 2, 2009 at 10:38 am

    Next match: Dragons vs Chuck Norris.

  23. GreenDragon says

    September 4, 2009 at 5:22 pm

    Dragons are badass.

    so if i knew how to vote I would vote dragons down pat over wizards

    and yes dragons vs chuck norris would be tight
