User blog:Dragonsblood23/Lets Debate 1: Elsa VS Sub-Zero or Ryu and Ken VS Sub-Zero and Scorpion

Today we got a debate for which the better battle for Sub-Zero either Sub-Zero VS Elsa or Ryu and Ken VS Sub-Zero and Scorpion

Bob
Firstly, there is a more interesting connection in Elsa vs Sub-Zero in that both are cryomancers. Both are known for their control over ice but in terms of genre are both very different. One is a female Disney character, and therefore kid friendly. The other is a male character from the violent Mortal Kombat series. So while they have a key similarity they are otherwise juxtaposed making for a more interesting battle whereas on the other hand, Ken and Ryu vs Scorpion and Sub-Zero is a battle between two fighting games that are fairly similar in play style and have been compared as rivals for a long time. With ERBs track record, they rarely do battles based on real life rivalry, with the exceptions of Tesla vs Edison, Obama vs Romney and Adam vs Eve, which had two suggestions with real life rivalries and another which is widely considered to be sub-par. Additionally, the duos are not known to be great allies and would only be there as representatives, which doesn't make that much sense.

First off I respect the idea of Elsa VS Sub-Zero but what makes Elsa so special compared to Snow White or Ariel. IMO I think Walt Disney should be the only one representing Disney with the exception of Mickey Mouse backing up. Yes Frozen was a huge film in 2013 and is a high blockbuster but so is Fast and The Furious and Titanic. Does that mean Jack and Rose from Titanic or a FATF character get that same excuse too? I think Elsa VS Sub-Zero could only work in Late 2013/Early 2014 as Frozen has been going low recently. The Connection is also Ice Powers and Violent VS Kid Friendly which is a similiar connection to Genghis Khan vs Easter Bunny but with ice powers in it. I think Ryu and Ken VS Scorpion and Sub-Zero works because both are a part of a world wide known video game series. Its also a rivarlry battle which can be great every once in a while like Tesla VS Edison. Some may argue that its a VG vs VG and those types shouldn't be in an ERB but I see those types of battles like Rick Grimes vs Walter White as TV VS TV or Gandalf vs Dumbledore as Book VS Book, Hell even the upcoming Terminator VS RoboCop is Movie VS Movie so not liking it because its a VG VS VG is a stupid suggestion. I end this by saying Ryu and Ken VS Scorpion and Sub-Zero could be a very interesting idea with both sides having its historical events like the ESRB game Rating and the beginning of fighting games back in the Arcade days.

Okay,first Elsa has only been around for what one year? what exactly makes her better than any other disney princess or character that is more know and more established? why cant we have a vg vs vg battle if we had a book vs book battle and a tv show vs tv show battle? Heck,sf and mk have been around for way more time than the walking dead and breaking bad combined. The frozen hype is probably going to die down a bit after the sequel is released, Street Fighter however maintained relevant for years and is proably not going to fade away soon.

Which side did better Elsa VS Sub-Zero Ryu and Ken VS Scorpion and Sub-Zero

Which Debate Topic should be first Should ERB use any more anime characters (Ash, Yugi, etc) Bond VS Jones or Croft VS Jones? Freud VS Joker or Freud VS Teresa Wolverine VS Krueger or Tony Stark VS Thatcher for next Marvel ERB?
