Suvudu Cage Match 2011

[marinliliz]

Suvudu, a SciFi & Fantasy, Paranormal, Graphic Novels & Manga, Gaming review site and forums - meaning, overall geeky site (my kinda site) - is hosting again this year the Suvudu Cage Match, in which you can choose between 32 starting contenders from all over the SciFi & Fantasy  Universes you know and love. To tell you the truth I know about a handful of them if not less^__^'

The fun thing is that besides the characteristics and pros and cons of each contender, they give sort of play by play of how the fight between the characters would go and leaving the ultimate result to you. Even some of the authors give their own version of the fight.


Last year's winner was Rand Al'Thor from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and then again ultimate winner when he defeated Ser Gregor 'The Mountain that Rides' Clegane (the ultimate villain) from George R R Martin's(grrm ) A Song of Ice and Fire.
