hmmm this is a tough choice. I mean on hand TJ was a red who has multiple powers and skills. Buuuut sky does become a red as well (I admit I forgot this fact) plus those sheilds! ....ugh......

Still not voting because I don't like either one of them. But as I hate them both equally, allow me to add this:

Sky would win between these two if they ever met on the battlefield. TJ just doesn't have the battle experience, and hardcore training, that Sky has. Without even bringing SWAT into this.

That being said I don't like TJ. Ward is a good actor, and it had nothing at all to do with him. I just hate the character. And Sky... Sky is an asshole. A complete asshole. And because of his assholishness, I'd urge you to vote TJ. Despite the gap in ability.

If Sky was on this team he'd get upset that Lily is more hardcore than he is.

:lol And just like that I'm voting for TJ.

I suppose both are equally experienced but Sky was only promoted through the ranks of the same team, since TJ has been on two separate teams and adapted to those roles, I say he is the better ranger.

I'm going with Sky.The "TJ has more field experience" rule kind of applies but kind of doesn't.Sure at the time TJ was a red then a blue,but how long exactly was Sky a Blue Ranger? They never really say for sure so he could very well have more time as a Blue Ranger then TJ.

And KRX got it down,he did get better near the end of the series.Any character that can swallow their pride is a great character to me.Honestly they're evenly matched experience wise,so it actually does have to come down to power,and Sky has it in spades.Oh and before any more mentions of flying cars happen,Sky can use a fully armored,fully armed Swat Truck.

Oh and as far as Sky not having any sword training,what are you talking about? His first weapon is a sword/baton that doubles as a sniper blaster.So if need be Sky could snipe TJ before he knew what happened,or go hand to hand with him.Same with Swat mode.People tend to forget that most of the Swat Mode fights were close quarters.

Win or lose,I personally think Sky is better.But for now I'm going to make some popcorn,next round is gonna be an entertaining one.

I went with TJ ...his ability to adapt quicker then Sky is what swayed me but while voting for TJ I felt I was giving the win to Billy/Flynn on a silver platter

I have been thinking...should we be voting based upon who would win if the two met up in battle or who would be best for the team?

I've personally been voting on who is best for the team, at least now we have two members and can imagine how they'd play off of one another.

But when it's a character I don't particularly care for, I just way out the pros and cons against who they are facing.

I'm voting on a mix of that.
This isn't the Rider vs. Rider tournament, which was explicitly "Who would win in a fight", but the Ultimate Ranger Team Tournament.

You have to be more than just 'The strongest ranger' to deserve the spot, and as been stated numerous times before, having the bigger gun doesn't instantly make you the best person for the job.
Power does make a big part of it, don't get me wrong, but as had been stated against Madison, you have to bring more to the table than just a large power load out.

I'm going with TJ again. He's more emotionally stable, plus his on-the-job experience could play a factor into all of this. We also have to remember that Doggie called both Sky and his team "The Worst Team of Rangers I have ever seen"

Do we really want the worst Blue on this team, especially when all of his faults have been catatorised like his whinyness, his sexist attitude, his unwillingness to just swallow his pride and be Blue all the way until the end?

Yeah, I want a guy that can have a positive attitude, can think on his feet and has traveled through SPACE. TJ is a clear choice for me.
