I'm a big 8-Bit and LFG fan. So I wana know Who you think will win. I'd put money on Black Mage.

I think they would team up and then when BM wasn't looking Richard would FWOOM him and send him to hell (again)

I've got my money on BM. He's a crafty clown and besides if two magic users go at it, assuming of course they are equal prowess, then wouldn't it come down to brute strength. BM is pretty hot with that knife.

but BM has weak little mage wrists, and Richard stole the soul of a monk if you remember O.o

But BM wouldn't stay in hell. As the previous ruler youd think he'd use his hell powers and Take Richard. And, i havent seen richards equivelent to a Hadoken yet.

But the Lich king took over Hell, and also all the demons would want to kill BM, so he would be in big trouble when he got down there >.>

He beat them before he'd beat them aggain., and because 8-bit follows the FF1 plot he will eventualy kill the Lich king aggain.

One Hadoken (or how ever its spelled) and Richard is toast.

Even if BM managed a hadoken, Richard's already dead, not to mention BM's aim is absolutely horrific.
So yeah, Richard wins by killing him, then eating his soul to gain the hadoken for himself.

Close only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades, hadoken, and thermonuclear warfare.

I'm going to be the pansy neutral party and say they team up and go apeshit on the global population, for th esole purpose of trying to make the biggest chain-link kill combo.

ya, if they were a team they would be unstoppable.... not to mention famous

i like that idea.

BM's Aim isnt bad . Where did you get that impression? He smacked those M.A.R.T.A.I.N.S Dead on with that rediculous meteor.

He missed a Volcano!
At point blank range.
He has also made his hadoken go in reverse, blasting himself instead of the intended target.

O.K you got me there. But don,t forget BM now has blue magic. Every spell of richards he survives he can use....wait....Never mind, I know what your reply will be . But BM still has o.k aim, and is just as unkillable as Richard. But i still say the Hadoken has richard beat untill I see Richard perform an equal or greater magic.

Richard's hadoken is to explain to BM how freakin lame he looks in his new outfit, BM would die upon hearing someone as or more powerful than he is downplaying his garb.

HA!!! AHMEN to that. Thats one thing i agree with you on. But i bet BM lets Richard have a 5 second conversation with fighter and Richards surrenders feeling the fight is not fair with BM negatively hadicapped by that moron.

*sigh* this is true But Rich wouldn't surrender, He'd Just kill Bm all the faster.
It's a mercy killing, really.

LOL I think at this point in 8-bit BM would welcome death. But, we have been disscussing this too much and we already voted. Lets wait for more people to vote and read what they have to say.

You just say that cuz Richard's in last right now...

o.o, I think Richard and Bm would swap annoyances, Bm would kill Cale and Richard could kill Fighter..

Cale isn't an annoyance per se... More like a naive elven meatshield...

An odd topic, i have to say, but Richard would completely kill anyone who stood in his way.
Ya'know, my vote is kinda moot, cos i have no idea who the hell BM is.

www.nuklearpower.com is where you find BM otherwise known as Black Mage of the first Final Fantasy, in this comic he wields massive powers of darkness but well he's kinda physically weak. On the one hand if he and Richard were to go at it I think the world would be devistated by their attacks towards each other, on the other hand if they teamed up they'd slowly torture the world to death, I like option 2 also if you check back in the history BM and Richard both have ties in with orphanage destructions and thus were meant to be friends because both of them understand the evil power of rampageing orphanages attempting to eat harmless black mages and warlocks everywhere.

Alright, I know little of BM (I still voted Richard though ) but since Richard has incredible hand-to-hand skills from that monk's soul and the fact that he can't die I would place my money on Richard if they got into a fight. As for them teaming up Richard probably would just kill BM and then steal his soul (unless BM has some way of stopping this) for the fun of it after a bit of killing the innocent and then use his increased magical powers to kill things in even more fantastical displays of power.

Richard can't die is no excuse because BM cant die ether. And BM devoured his own sole (if you read 8-bit you know what im talking about)

Richard would kill everyone, after returning Bm's soul to its correct location. then eating it.

BM would easily win. Three words: HA DOU KEN

OK now about the Hadoken:
1: He can't aim for shit
2: He can only use it once per day
3: If he can't kill Fighter with it what makes you think it will kill Richard?

BM lets fighter live because fighter is his meat shield. His aim isnt that bad no matter what you say. And BM still has a great amout of fun spells he can kill richard with.

but BM can use Red Mage and Thief as Meat Shields too.. lol

Lets face it.. fighter cant be killed because hes too stupid to know how to die. Fighter was "kiulled" by things other than BM and still always came back. Fighter is just a really really really stupid immortal.

Granted, but the hadoken has failed to kill things other than fighter, while Richard has yet to fail in killing something he wants to.
And if it really comes down to it, the Fork of Anger beats a non-magical knife any day.

There is no proof that BM's knife skills suck or that it is nonmagical look back on the rescent comics of nuklearpower (I think 2-4 pages back) to see BM slaughter an entire brigade of guards with his knife skills. As for a soul, BM doesnt really have one as i think he sold it to the Dark Gods for more power. Sadly on another note it's nigh unto impossible to fully kill BM thus -if- Richard nuked BM, BM would just use the same nuke right back. But i'm still opting that both of them would team up to destroy stuff.

Side Note: Fighter's armor is just insanely inpenitrable : / but he can be killed in interesting ways, sadly Dr.Swordopolis(spelling?) always saves him : /

Side Note2: Theres no way in hell Thief would play meatshield, RM might be tricked into it but Thief is just too wilely : /

anyways enough i cast my vote already

black mage would hadoken the crap outta richard. then stab the crap outta richard. then goblin punch the crap outta richard. then let richard do something to him so he could use it against richard.

or BM would just trick fighter into thinking killing richard was a part of drownball. or tell thief richard had oober monies. or tell RM he's get major xp from killing richard. or all of the above, either way richards consciousness ceases to exist.

If Black Mage had hadoken up, richard would get wtfpwnt.

But if not, my moneys on richard.

Its a tossup.

I've got to go with BM for a few reasons
1. So far I've seen nothing from Richard that comes close to bm's level of evil. So far bm's traumatized the same child at least 3 times token over hell and removed everyones spine attempted to kill fighter God only knows how many times stabbed rm a few times too, wiped out at least two old folks homes, killed more random people than i can count, absorbed his own evil giving him twice as much evil(or something like that), screwed the real light hero's over (sorta) has successfully killed thief rm and fighter but Sarda revived em and he effectively leveled the dwarf kingdom.
2. Two words blue magic no matter what Richard throws at him bm can just throw back on top of whatever amount of point blank annihilation bm had dished out

advantage bm

i vote teaming up and killing everyone.. thus gaining them the title of Gods, until Chuck Norris asks for his nickname back..

YEI RICHARD!!

Chuck Norris might kill them though

yes i agree fully. while richard has shown evil, it's been mostly petty evil and nowhere near bms level of awosme destruction capabilities. even without hadoken up, i doubt richard could stand up to the infamous GOBLIN KICK!!!!!!!!

One word: Fighterdoken

TIE!?!?! Now I'm reviveing this!!!

lol, it may remain a tie indefinately =P

You people have lost your faith in Richard. And now he weeps.

Good job guys, really. You made an archwizard cry, how does that make you feel about yourselves?

Makes me glad I picked BM.

At least Richard isn't an amalgamation of colored blocks, he has susbstance.

so not only is Rich more powerful, but he looks cooler too.

Ouch... you got me there. My only arguement is BM is so Bad Ass he doesnt need substance.

BM is Timothy McVeigh in a blue cloak.

I'm sorry to bring McVeigh up but I've been holding it inside since BM started terrorizing that kid.

Sorry, but im not sure who that is. Explain. I know i sound like a loser right now but i seriously dont know who that is.

The bastard who was behind the Oklahoma City bombings.
