Boy, these are some tough matchups.
My votes and predictions for Round 3:
01. Buggy vs Rayleigh
I like both of them, will probably decide by campaigns. Still think that Buggy will win this one, though.
02. Dragon vs Enel
Dragon all the way. But I suspect Enel will win this.
03. Garp vs Going Merry
My vote goes to the awesome gramps. And he will most probably also advance to the next round.
04. Smoker vs Arlong
That's a tough one. I'm not sure whom to vote or who will prevail.
05. Ryuma vs Whitebeard
Whitebeard's got this one in the bag.
06. Kuma vs Sengoku
Again a tough competition, but my vote will go to Kuma.
07. Chopper vs Gun Fall
I care for neither of them, will vote Gun Fall because of a mild anti SH policy. But I still think Chopper will advance.
08. Bon Kurei vs Crocodile
The matchup of the round. I will vote and root for Bentham.
09. Robin vs Bellemere
My mild anti SH policy does not apply to Robin (hence mild). On the other hand, Bellemere is one of the best flashback characters. This will be tough.
10. Moria vs Shanks
Shanks. No question. Was never a big Moria fan.
11. Norland vs Bepo
I'll vote for Bepo. This could turn out to be quite interesting…
12. Magellan vs Luffy
Magellan is among my favourite characters, so I will support him while he's going down.
13. Hiriluk vs Hannybal
Hiriluk, easy choice.
14. Roger vs Brook
No idea, I'll let the campaigns decide for me.
15. Mihawk vs Zoro
Although Zoro is my favourite SH, I have a very hard time voting against Mihawk. We'll see.
16. Nami vs Usopp
Again, no idea. This is a case for campaigns.
All in all I think this is going to be one hell of a round. Looking forward to it!
There. That wasted a good 10 mins.
QFT!
