(+) Yeah! (+)

Elma, Sorey, D.Va, Char Aznable and Earthworm Jim have challenged Aya Brea, Lara Croft, Nathan Drake, Catherine and Terry Bogard to a hotness contest! Location of the fight: Sexiest Dynamites - The world's most popular hotness competition! Hundreds of adoring fans line up the stands, and a set of impartial judges stands by, ready to deliver judgement unto both teams. Which side will win?


Guidelines

- The competition will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence). Gameplay mechanics are less important than how the characters would function in a real-time environment.
- The members of each team are ideal teammates capable of a pre-selected plan of battle.
- There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from.

Rules for Voting

- Bold your votes (using bold HTML tags).
- You do not need to require justification for your vote, though the admins reserve the right to disqualify votes in the advent of obvious alt voting and other similar scenarios.
- Leaders cannot vote for their own teams (and players from the same pool may not vote as well), but they are free to argue their case.
- If you want to switch your votes simply bold the change; there's no need to delete your post, though you may if you wish.
- This match will end in 24 hours.
- The following conventions are in use for match topics: www.gamefaqs.com/boards/570224-mercs/75290480/878106427
- The match that week will not be a battle to the death, but rather a contest to decide who's hotter, decided by impartial judges objectively judging each contestant by the standards of their species and culture (so an alien being would not be held to the standards of humanity but their own culture's).
- Contestants will each have two minutes to show off their gifts to the judges. They may not interfere with each other's performances or attempt to influence the judges beyond presenting themselves favorably.

Char

The sexiest man in all of space - ladies this one is a Newtype - meaning his competition is people like Puru, Kamille and Amuro Ray.


Doesn't he look good in uniform.


The way he takes off his shades makes everyobodies heart throb!

Check out that shower shot!


Jim
Check out the sexiest earthworm you ever did see


And of course he even wears costumes


Bonus fanservice: undies


Sorey and Lailah

Sorey has something for fans of all genders and persuasions



He becomes so bishou when Armatized to Lailah


Who lets face it is pretty nice in her own right. They can probably put on quite a show armatizing to each other in their outfits.





Bonus fanservice: warning....steamy


Elma

Now we have the beautiful android that makes all the boys scream, Elma.


Look at that badonkadonk!

She can rock all sorts of outfits and cosplay with poise and grace.

School girls and swimsuits and....whatever the hell that last one was she really is the best of both worlds.

Main Event: D Va

So lets talk about D Va. She's an international superstar and its very easy to see why...



Yeah that right there. That jumpsuited body.



Its good from every angle



But she does sometimes rock the cosplay like any good otaku




Bonus cosplay:

Cow

garou terry hotter than normal terry imo

Not impressed with the cow btw

We know that there's a specific Cow that is a paragon of hotness and it's not 'a cow', it's Princess-What's-Her-Cow.

Cow
Sorey's Anime Girlfriend



.... With all that said, Catherine literally shapeshifts for every individual to be their ideal. Like she changes race specifically for another dude to flirt with him and drive him crazy. It's not just "overwhelming hotness", it's "literally reading your mind to be as hot as possible to you".
---

Yeah realistically, while D.Va almost single-handedly wins it for her team, it's gotta be Drake and Catherine.

Sorry cow.
---

D.va - 5.5/10 the mech is cuter than she is
Sorey - 7/10 generic anime guy, but that's not too bad. gets a full point for the shepherd outfit. armatized is like 7.5
Lailah - 6/10
Elma - 7/10 cuter than her mech
Char - 2/10 because an xcom trooper is still an xcom trooper. 'actual' char is like a 4, not a fan of that haircut
EWJ - 0/10 would give negative points if possible

Terry - 7/10 inferior to Rock
Lara (2013) - 9/10 way better than classic Lara
Nathan - 5/10 hello Mr. Generic
Catherine - ew 3/10
Aya (PE1-2) - if this were Third Birthday Aya it would be an easy 10, but earlier Aya, ehhh. 6/10 I guess.

cow - cow/10

Team Lara but it's closer than I expected, mostly because poor Aya
---

Well Sorey's anime girlfriend wins the women pretty easily for me, but D.Va and Elma are beaten out by the average of Lara + Catherine + Aya.

The combo of Terry and Nathan Drake probably beat out Char + Jim, although Garou Terry would be cleaner. Also if we're going by species, Jim is probably way way above your typical earthworm. That counts for something, I figure.

Tough match!

i cant argue but i can point out rules to people

I would take any ordinary earthworm over EWJ he's that bad
---

Aya (PE1-2) - if this were Third Birthday Aya it would be an easy 10, but earlier Aya, ehhh. 6/10 I guess.

I don't know who I'm voting for yet cause this is one stacked match (in all possible senses) but man I gotta go to bat for Aya here







Really overpowered hotness game - same as Jim for his own species!
---

I think Jim's main problem is he's not going to be able to present himself credibly. A lot of hotness is how you carry yourself and Jim's too much of a goof to do well there.

This I think is true

Like even if you have all the raw hotness, if you act like a clown or a blubbering waifu you're not gonna sell yourself well

Catherina, Lara, Aya

I'll just try to do the Drak method, see where the point totals end up

D.va - 5. In theory she's cute, but she tries way too hard to look cute which hurts her appeal a lot.
Sorey - 5.5 Completely unremarkable normally, below average bishie when armatized. Averages out to a 5.5.
Lailah - 8. She's not terribly hot in game most of the time but Eddv's pics show she's really cute at peak conditions. Really like that first fan art and she's killin the swimsuit.
Elma - 5. Good body but really drab in the face and hairstyle.
Char - 7. Dude's got a swagger to him-- doesn't matter his hairstyle is bad he's making it work.
EWJ - 3.5. Well above average looks among earthworms, but has an anti-swagger to him which is gonna hurt his ability to be hot.

35 points

Terry - 7. He does have a rugged charm but he would be considerably stronger in Garou form
Lara (2013) - 8 way better than classic Lara
Nathan - 6. Bare bones execution of a generic look, but it's a look that works.
Catherine - 4. I never really "got" this character. Like the hairstyle is a total mess, she tends to make really ugly looking faces.
Aya (PE1-2) - 6.5. She's like your stereotypical classy hot blonde pretty much. It ain't hurtin ya but it's not knocking it out of the park either-- this judge in particular isn't going for it.

31.5 points

Cow - I dunno, 5/10 among bovines I'd imagine. Nothing remarkable about it either way.

5 points

Not very many "Lopen appeal" mercs here, so on the whole it basically ends up that Sorey's team wins because he's a dirty cheater who went 6v5
---

jim's universe, like, canonically has reversed beauty standards from ours so i think the JUDGES should rate him highly

That's only for the Insecticans IIRC, which Jim isn't one of. Need to go lookin tho
