Ultimate Ranger Team Tournament - Red Semi-finals Round 1
 

Let’s play a game: The Gokaiger adaptation isn’t season two of Megaforce, it’s a brand new series with a brand old cast. The six Rangers are all returning characters from previous Ranger teams, gathered together to face off against the most powerful evil ever. But which six Rangers? That’s where this tournament comes in.

We’re going to cast this team with the very best Red Ranger, very best Pink Ranger, very best Blue Ranger, very best Yellow Ranger, very best Grack/Bleen Ranger, and very best Sixth Ranger.

The rules are simple: the Rangers of each color fight it out to see which one stands at the top of their personal section of the rainbow. The winners will be determined by popular vote, feel encouraged to explain your choices to help sway the undecided. Fights are all-out brawls – any power-up or weapon is permitted, short of the Zords.

Battles are decided by random selection and each character is represented for each of their colors (Rocky and TJ are in both Red and Blue, Tommy is in Red and Sixth, etc.). Rangers with multiple powers in the same color will be using the ones which are most unique to them (Adam is Zeo Green, Cassie is Space Pink, etc. – yes, this kinda shafts the Turbo Rangers, I know – all three Turbo fans are free to register their complaints). All major teams are represented, MMPR through Megaforce. Evil Rangers like the Psychos and A-Squad - as well as one-shot Rangers like Cat or SPD Red Bridge - are excluded.

Now that we’ve got that covered, Let’s Morphing!

Okay, so we're down to six Red Rangers left, including a wild card to help mathematically round things out:

1. Carter
2. Wes
3. Scott
4. Andros
5. Conner
6. Hunter (wild card)

The choices are going to get tougher from here on out, so let's not waste time and dive right into things by settling the age-old question of which is more powerful, a T-Rex or a firetruck?

Carter "Yes, I know my suit looks like a hard candy" Grayson

Voting will last 24 hours.

Will Carter run over his opponent in his rescue Humvee? Will Conner tie up his enemy and pelt him with soccer balls? Is Switchblade already running alarmingly low on witty questions? Which Ranger will reign supreme?

Allez Ranger!

Wow, tough call.
Carter is a badass.
Connor has a Styracosaurus for a fist.

Decisions, decisions.

I'm sticking with Conner. Forget wearing a motorcycle, get a load of those stretchy arms!

Tough one. On the one hand, a very well fleshed out character with enough charm to him that he's likable despite being a power hog and a complete idiot most of the time. On the other hand, a complete bad ass that after several years of reds that prefer to go hand to hand with a monster (often poorly I might add) is the first to think "Hey I have a gun, why not use it."

Yeah, I need a moment.

Hmm... Connor it is, I'm a sucker for Dinosaurs. Carter isn't memorable to me at all.

Goin with Carter.Lightspeed was one of my favorite series,and Carter was a great red.Sure Connor has more power,but Carter is a better leader and a more logical fighter.Like guncannon said,he's one of the first reds to figure "Hey,why get my ass beat when I can just shoot them"

Or floor it and see how many monsters you can run down with a yellow jeep.

Carter gets this one, hes a better leader and a better fighter, plus he didnt spam power-ups.

My decision has been Carter can shoot the fuck out of anyone, well Conner has Super-speed and tougher armor than most of the others. My vote goes to Conner.

I'm voting for Carter because I'm getting tired of Connor bullshitting his way through this because he can power spam, regardless of application of those powers.
