Not really plot protection, Ed wins all of his fights simply because of quick surprise attacks when his opponents think he's beaten.

Seriously, the guy is a Determinator. He was stabbed through the torso and had a building collapsed on top of him, and that only pissed him off.

As for RAM's little editing fun, you've now convinced me Ed would win in a real fight, because Bro and Dave think Buster Swords suck, then go around swinging Sephiroth's obviously-not-phallic weapon.

Dave thinks all the anime swords Bro has suck because they're fakes. They can't be used in an actual fight. Besides, Bro's katana is normal sized, just not in that picture.

Didn't we already decide this was a popularity contest?

No. Be quiet.

[CJ1145]

It's a popularity contest. Doesn't change the fact that Ed would win an actual fight.

[RedWarrior0]

I am for a teamup. Between Bro and Kamina.

[RAM]

I suppose Ozymandias winning would be hilariously ironic.

But the Ozymandias/sandworm teamup is canon now, because that picture will surface every time he fights...

[Mysteriousbluepuppet]

Bro, He does live-action stop motion puppet fighting. Wins everytime.

I'm very sad about how this poll is going. I thought you guys had some taste. Marty Stus are fun, but when you pit them against well-developed and realistic (in comparison) characters it's only a beatdown because that monster was never meant to leave his own world.

The next time I see Spider Man beat Silver Age Superman thanks to his great characterization, I'll give you a call.

Didn't you say earlier that it was a popularity contest, not a fight?

No, that was Criptfiend. Popularity contests are terrible things.

ToonyMan said this is a popularity contest.  On that note, I'm considering starting a thread for this contest where the winners are determined by who would actually win.  Supporters of a character would present arguments as to why that character would win.  Someone would judge the arguments and decide who would most likely win that fight. 

Would you all be interested?

NINJA EDIT: GRAMMAR.

Despite the votes, the argument over which one is better is getting pretty heavy, so maybe team up?

I'm for teaming them up.

Bro's just too fast.  Even with his whole "create a circle via clapping", Ed still takes a nontrivial amount of time to do alchemy. 

So, yeah.  bro.

He can move so fast that people fight his afterimage.  Assuming a conservative 24 frames per second, that he only stands still in a frame for a 100th of a second, and that he was only 'really' standing two meters away, that's an average speed of like sixty meters per second, but an average acceleration of, like, 4,000 m / s2.  For you Imperial system users, that's 9,000 mph/s.

Sure, why not. Plus it would let us have more characters in one of these contests. It would be important to try to make sure the characters are of approximately equal power magnitude though.(IE: no gods fighting simple dragonslayers)

Dragonslayers aren't always simple, and a dragon can be a god, so the line gets blurred. I get your point though.

Bear in mind that, prior to cutting the meteor in half with a sword that was clearly much shorter than the radius of the meteor, Bro jumped onto said meteor, from its pre-cut-in-half destination. I suspect that that is what you see happen at the end of the fight with Dave.

True, but Laharl summons meteors, jumps on them as they're falling, and laughs maniacally as they crash into his enemies.
Yet I'd rather vote for Bro, because Laharl is a whiny brat.  Kinda like Ed...
Both Ed and Laharl show a little character development, true, but it's so incredibly slow.  Even at the end of their series they're really stupid.  They need supporting characters to enforce any sort of common sense.
Sorry, I'm replaying Disgaea at the moment, don't mind me.

[dragnar]

Laharl has little character development mainly because most of the game is a joke. There IS a plot, but it's hidden behind the funny most of the time. He's a whiny brat, but that's pretty much the point: He's a demon that's really bad at being truly evil, and tries far too hard. Also:

"What!? How many are there?!"

I don't know what you were reading, but Ed was a lot more mature by the end of FMA.

Once again, Ed's friends and family are his greatest strength, as is confirmed by the Truth. So it would make sense that he kept them around.
