[Round 1] Xander v Doyle

[Buffy Summers]

Who would you rather take into battle with you, Xander or Doyle?

 

[thetopher]

I thought about this; Doyle was a better fighter for the most part but Xander was pretty tough (from all the beatings) and much braver.

So like, S7 Xander or maybe comics Xander.

 

[Skanky Vamp]

I don't really remember seeing Doyle fight much. I just remember him getting beat up alot.

 

[Priceless]

Xander can throw a decent punch and he jumps into a fight even if he's scared.

 

[ChaseRules]

But Xander got beat up a lot too . Don't forgot he lost a slap fight with Harmony .

 

[Fuffy Baith]

Xander. Doyle may be part demon, but I don't remember him fighting much and we don't know a lot about his demon abilities. Other than he's stronger in demon form. He did make the sacrifice when it counted but before that he seemed a little coward.

Xander is brave and loyal. He fought even though he had no special abilities. He is there until the end.

 

[Carrie Hopewell]

Don't forgot he lost a slap fight with Harmony .

If you're in a slap fight with Harmony, is there such a thing as winning?

I picked Doyle. He's half demon which comes in handy, he has connections to the PTB and he is also brave. "You never know until you're tested." 🙁

Doyle's big sacrifice has to count for a lot though, doesn't it? I think that was the first big moment of the 'Angel' series?

 

[Skanky Vamp]

Doyle's big sacrifice has to count for a lot though, doesn't it?

Heck yeah... go into battle and let Doyle sacrifice himself so that you can run away. That's a good friend! Makes losing an eye seem like a broken nail.

 

[Priceless]

But Xander got beat up a lot too . Don't forgot he lost a slap fight with Harmony .

But he punched a clown, which was pretty brave of him. He is really brave considering he's got no real power

 

[Bluebird]

I don't know, man. Depth perception is pretty important in a battle.

 

[Mr Trick]

This is actually a close one. The reason I pick Xander is because we know more about him and have seen his qualities in battle (and there are some good ones, to go along with the flaws😀). With Doyle's arc on Angel being so brief we didn't see enough of him to really judge him in a battle. It would be too much of a gamble.

 

[Anyanka Bunny Slayer]

I'd put my money on a half-demon any day. Doyle for the win!

 

[Athena]

Xander has like 10 years of battle experience, Doyle has 10 weeks worth.... so yeah, not difficult.

 

[ChaseRules]

But who better at it. I think Doyle myself.

 

[Taake]

I put my money on the one who is more likely to be sober and stupid (or brave, depending on how you view human/demon fights), rather than drunk or hung over and stupid. Sorry Doyle, I love you, but in a battle, I'd have to say Xander is the wiser choice.

 

[Skanky Vamp]

But drunk makes you brave!! Doyle could have thought he was at one of those little kickball games they play over there in the England and been oblivious to the true nature of the skirmish.

 

[ChaseRules]

Your right. Doyle would be a lot braver since he have a lot of liquor courage inside him .

 

[Taake]

Or it makes your aim terrible and causes you to fall over a lot, which is bad if you already have terrible aim and tend to fall over a lot

 

[Skanky Vamp]

Or it makes your aim terrible and causes you to fall over a lot, which is bad if you already have terrible aim and tend to fall over a lot

The more a drunkard falls over whilst fighting the quicker and more outraged they become. Falling over would be a benefit and not a drawback.
