Thoughts and commentary using the guidelines:
1. Custom quality
2. Bio/pics
3.Actual battle predictions
4.How many lasers/missiles the custom has
5.Is it a dinosaur?
6.Extras/presentation/special consideration
1--> Both are awesome customs. Blade is perfect, but IX taps legendary levels of creativity to make something unexpected and horrifying.
Verdict: IX
2--> Brief, to the point bios.
Verdict: Tie
3--> Gotta say, this battle is what Blade is all about. Nothing against IX, he is a badass but this match-up is very much to Blades advantage.
Verdict: Blade
4--> The lack of awesome that is lasers and missiles is noted. Both opponents are evenly equipped with deadly h-t-h weapons. While Blade does have a ranged weapon, it does not look like it would do much to IX.
Verdict: Tie
5--> Neither can claim the awesome that is a dinosaur.
Verdict: Both fail
6--> Really great customs both. The creativity in IX wins major points for me. Blade did add some good photo smacktalk in the opening round and won some extra points.
Verdict: IX by a narrow margin
Result: So evenly matched. Blade should win the round, but the sheer unexpected creativity of IX sways him a vote to send this into a tie from me.
