Round 27: Zzzzz...

Yu-Gi-Oh! made a valiant effort in Round 26, but Wonder Woman came up trumps once again.

Final Round:

Wonder Woman

...statuesque.


vs.



Zzzzz...



...mmm... sleep.


For the last time this 'cycle', vote your preference between Wonder Woman and 'Zzzzz...' (or sleep as it's better known).

Round 26: No, Yu!

So 'normals' (debatable) lost out to nerds in Round 25 and X-Factor was severely trounced by Wonder Woman.

This round it's time to divide and conquer you geeks...

Wonder Woman


Interpretive essay? I'll read it later...



vs.



Yu-Gi-Oh!


Gotta collect quite a lot of 'em.


As always, vote your favourite - Wonder Woman or Yu-Gi-Oh! in the comments.

Round 25: What is this 'X' Factor?

 At almost treble the votes, Wonder Woman boioioing jumped all over Van Halen and lassoed 'em good in Round 24.

Wonder Woman


Great Hera!


vs.


X-Factor


I can tell by some of the pixels...

Vote Wonder Woman or X-Factor in the comments below.

Round 24: Makes you Wonder.

Another close one in Round 23, with one vote in it between Understanding and Van Halen, and the rockers coming out triumphant.

Van Halen


Is my instamatic camera small enough though?


vs.


Wonder Woman


Hottest Wonder Woman ever.


Vote your preference, Van Halen or Wonder Woman below.

Round 23: I ain't the worst that you've seen.

Interesting in Round 22 how many went for Understanding over Television.
...and it won - by two votes. Reaffirms my faith in the human race... a bit.

Understanding


Understand? Not bloody likely.


vs.


Van Halen


Jump!... for my love... oh wait...


So vote your favourite between Steve Coogan and the Pointer Sis.. no... eh...
Understanding and Van Halen in the comments below.

Round 22: How does it work again?

So Round 21 turned out to be a fair fight between Robots and Television. With only one vote in it, revered TV came out on top.

This one's for all the students back at school:

Television

Seen it...


vs.


Understanding

I don't even... get it.


If you understand what to do, you'll know where to vote...
Television or Understanding in the comments.

Round 21: What's on the box?

No love for the Smurfs? Admittedly Pirate Robots (especially Pirate) arrr better, and the CGI movie has tainted their otherwise cute name, but not one vote in Round 20 for the little blue creatures?

So be it...

Robots

The return of Robot Unicorn - yay.

vs.

Television

...rules the nation

As always, vote Robots or Television below.

Round 20: Arrrr

Robots beat a thus far competent QWERTY in Round 20.

Dakota suggested 'Robot Pirate', so let's go with that for this round.

Dakota runs a Hello Kitty fan site here,
filled with all kinds of weird and wonderful HK stuff.

Robots


Arrrr


vs.


Smurfs


A kazillion of 'em.


Vote Robots or Smurfs below.

Round 19: Robotime

In Round 18, QWERTY scraped through by one vote over Planking.

Nice one QWERTY.

This time:

QWERTY

Dusty

vs.

Robots

In 'disguise'

K, everyone, vote QWERTY or Robots below.

Round 18: What a planker

Haha! QWERTY proved very worthy against Ninja in Round 17.

This makes me very happy. Apparently unstoppable contestants do get on my goat after a few rounds.

On with the next battle:

(*edit: perhaps it's because I have been considering going
reverse alphabetical for the next cycle or because
I haven't woken up properly or was just too excited about
Ninja being knocked out, but I chose a
'p' word instead of what should have been
the 'r' round and we've gone backwards for this one.

Woops, never mind.)

QWERTY

peck peck... 15 wpm

vs.

Planking*

That guy sure can plank!

Get voting in the comments section: QWERTY or Planking

Round 17: Is the keyboard mightier than the sword?

Time for a bit of honesty.
The reason Round 16 has been open so long was in the vain hope that a flood of votes for Pistachio Nuts might appear and Ninja could be toppled from his current run.
But I'll admit it, Ninja is tough. Almost too good for this point in the competition, but we shall strive on regardless.

Ninja


In denim jeans?


vs.


QWERTY

Vote Ninja or QWERTY in the comment box below.
(And may I remind you of the requirement of a keyboard to do so. ; P)

Round 16: Nuts

Apologies for the lengthy absence due to technical difficulties.
ABWars HQ has been fully revamped and we're eager to get stuck back in to the battles.

Only Aaron M. Gipson was sophisticated and learned enough to vote for Ontology in Round 15. The rest of you shallow types opted for the admittedly more kick-ass Ninja.

We're going to need something extra special to be shot of this wily combatant.

Ninja

Nnnnnnnyah!

vs.

Pistachio Nuts

'Moreish'

Vote in the comments as usual...

Ninja or Pistachio Nuts
