Well, what a HUMDINGER semi final 1 was. A battle for the ages. On paper semi final 2 should be an even closer fought contest. Two beasts with five titles and nine finals between them.
If you don't know by now what this competition is about I guess you never will but in the best traditions of pissing in the wind:
we're looking for pound for pound hardness, not who would win in a direct fight. Hardness is made up of a number of different aspects such as toughness, attitude, ferocity, power, armoury etc. How much weight you attribute to each aspect is down to you but please consider all of them before voting. What is at stake is a place in not just any final but the ultimate final, the WHC Champion of Champions final.
Right, that's the preliminaries out of the way so lets meet our semi finalsts!
SALT WATER CROCODILE
tournament record: 2 time champion, thee time runner up
The Saltwater crocodile is one of the all time great WHC competitors, getting to at least the semin finals in all but one of the competitions. It's no surprise when you consider just what he's packing in his armoury.
You like power? He has the most powerful bite force per square inch of any animal on earth.
You like hardiness? This fella outlasted the dinosaurs, can go a year without food and can lose a limb or his tail and suffer no loss of killing and hunting efficacy.
You like aggression? The SWC has a penchant of finding his local habitat a little too easy so for a challenge he swims out into the ocean and takes on sharks.
you like a good defense? This fella has skin so tough it's almost armour plated.
Take him on at your own risk.
VS
HIPPO
tournament record three time winner, one time runner up
I said that SWC was one of the all time greats and that you take him on at your own risk. Luckily for us his opponent is another of the all time greats and a beast that takes on and kills apex predators for fun!
Hippo is a mostly herbivorous beast(I say mostly because occasionally he'll pick over some carrion) but if you think that vegetarians are limpy, lefty mumbo jumbo non entities think again. Hippo is a giant ball of rage who will attack anything just for the sport of it. He shares his home with Lions and (Nile) crocodiles and neither apex predator wants anything to do with the Hippo. Man, perhaps the ultimate apex predator is in serious trouble when the Hippo takes the fancy. He'll happily attack boats, over turn them and chomp the occupants in half. Why? Just because. Because he's an overly aggressive, unpredictable monster of an animal.
Power, aggression, irritability, evoker of fear, respecter of no one. It's easy to see why the Hippo is the three time and reigning champion.
There it is NSC a semi final for the ages. Two awe inspiring legends of the game at the peak of their powers facing off for place in the final of WHC champion of champions. Whoever wins will be worthy finalists but please give these beasts the respect they deserve and have earnt by thinking carefully before you vote.
Let the mayhem and blood letting begin!
