When it comes to these two...I'm just gonna give it to Shadow Moon. He just strikes me as stronger than Saga.

Yeah, the only way Saga wins this is if Shadow Moon doesn't show up. He's one of the most badass and legendary Rider villains for a reason.

Now I'm picture Saga just standing around inside an empty warehouse going "Um...Hello? Hello?" :lol

And then Faiz appears and orders take out. :p

Here's what will happen:

Taiga is happily skipping down the streets, singing, "Lalalalala," when Shadow Moon comes out of no where and challenges him to a duel. Taiga summons Sagarc and henshins, but by the time he's done, Shadow Moon is on the ground, clutching bleeding ears, writhing in pain, and begging Taiga to stop. Taiga either executes the Snaking Death-Break or leaves Shadow Moon to bleed out. If the latter is to occur, Shadow Moon bleeds out and dies, or Shadow Moon gets back up, goes home, and dies of infection. In any case, Taiga wins, and Takumi orders take-out.

fixed ;)

Why would Saga writhe in pain from his own transformation? :eyebrow

I'm implying that by the time he's finished transforming, Shaow Moon has already beaten the crap outta him.

I'll be honest. I voted Saga cause I like the design better, no reason beyond that.

This is an easy win for Shadow Moon.

:lol

Anyway, I voted for Shadow Moon. Poor Taiga can never get a fair fight though.

Damn it. I love Saga. That design is just beautiful and he's a powerful rider that in any normal match-up would be a big contender. But against Shadow Moon? I just can't see a win for Saga.

If shadow moon can beat decade and rising ultimate kuuga he'll make mincemeat out of saga

It seems really one-sided right now. Do you guys want me to close this so we can just get on to the final match and eventually the tournament?

Saga can pull through. There is always that possibility. Besides, if Double could beat Shadow Moon, Saga should be fine.

Just asking since I have the entire next battle typed up XD

End it now so that Saga doesn't pull a Fourze and win due to extended time.

I'll just open the next match right now, and have them both close on Friday

Kamen Rider Yuuki

VS

Kamen Rider Eternal

Yuuki:

• Hi-Jack Form is the form of Kamen Rider Yuuki that Shiro accesses on his own. Hijack Form has a black and red color scheme, compared to Skull Form's black and gold color scheme, lacking the skull-theme, and gaining a mechanical-looking gauntlet on his left arm. Hijack Form also performs the Terminate Flash, but does so with his Savage Gasher sword, in itself a 7-piece modified DenGasher. This form also uses exploding tops in combat that can be multiplied using Shiro's whip.
• Can revive an army of Imagin to serve him.
• Controls the Ghost Train, a skull-faced steam-engine that transcends the world of the dead and the flow of time.

Eternal:

• Katsumi Daido is a Necro-Over, an undead skilled combatant. He is proficient with combat knives.
• Transforms using the Eternal Memory and a Lost Driver. The Eternal Memory also allows him to use the other T2 Memories without having to insert them in his Lost Driver and transforming with them.
• The Eternal Edge is Eternal's primary combat knife that is summoned through the powers of the Eternal Memory. When the Eternal Memory is placed in the weapon's Memory Slot it initiates the Eternal Requiem Maximum Drive which disable the original Gaia Memories.
• T2 Unicorn Memory- Allows Eternal to use an energy-drill powered punch Maximum Drive.
• T2 Zone Memory- Allows Eternal to summon all 26 T2 Memories to his Maximum Drive Slots.
• By filling all 26 of his Memory Slots through the T2 Zone Memory, Eternal enters his Strengthening Armament mode. In this mode he is able to absorb the X-Bicker's energy to produce the Eternal Wave to execute the Never Ending Hell Maximum Drive utilizing the Eternal Edge.

Vote now! The Rider Tournament Starts tomorrow after this battle closes!

Yuuki. Hands down.
Eternal was only strong because he could neutralize other memories.

Yuuki. Eternal is nothing by comparison.

And that's not just my Den-O bias. He's easily more powerful. When there are no memories for Eternal to mess with, other than his own, he's a nobody.

...

Really?

Yuuki and Eternal is the final match up?

Have we even seen Rider 2, X, Skyrider, ZO, or J in these things? There are still main Riders left to go but we have room for an obscure Den-O movie Rider?

Whatever. I'm voting for Eternal. Both are technically undead, but Eternal can at least easily maintain a physical presence without needing to possess somebody.

Huh? When Shiro is Yuuki he IS a physical presence. Only when the Ghost Imagin is in control is a human host needed.

It's just that not a lot of people vote for the Showa Era Riders, except in the recent case of Amazon and Super-1. I will incorporate them next year though. Just wanted this to fit with how much people know.

Honestly, it's been a long time since I saw Final Countdown. I mostly remember him needing Ryotarou's body for most of the movie and the final showdown taking place on that damn Feudal era set.

Going for eternal here. They both seem really weak compared to some other riders, so I don't think either would survive the next round. Eternal could probably use some of the other gaia memeories to win in this.

Shadow Moon. There's a reason he was in Super Hero Taisen when Saga wasn't.

Yeah- because Saga became Dark Kiva.

i am going with yuuki not due to the fact it was the recent movie i watched but because he is really bad ass and would crush eternal

Eternal. Loved him, his design, and that W movie.

It figures that the usual rampant love for everything W would blur the fact that he's incredibly outclassed here.

Yuuki wasn't really that memorable. Eternal had a movie made about him (with ShinkenPink).

And? He's even less memorable. At least Yuuki had a meaningful reason to do what he was doing. Eternal just was. A boring actor and a boring character. Never really understood peoples love for him or why he got his own film.

Yuuki and Eternal both had the same reason (more or less). Eternal, however, is more of a tragic hero, similar to Harvey Dent. Besides, Eternal killed his own mother with little remorse, if any. Yuuki possessed Ryoutarou.

Eternal was a non-character. His Double Returns: Eternal was the first movie I had to force myself through.

This! Glad to know I'm not alone here.

Shadow Moon moves onto the Tournament!

Eternal won by 3! He fills in the final spot!

VS

Kamen Rider Double

OOO

• Has 137 combos (125 random, 5 main, 1 midseason upgrade, 1 Super Mode (PuToTyra), 1 Eleventh Hour Superpower (Super TaToBa), 2 special (TaMaShii and BuraKaWani), 2 alternative {with Kangaroo Medal}) possible due to mix-and-matching core medals
• Can revive any Rider turned into a core medal via Scanning charge.
• RideVendor, which comes in multiples; ToRideVendor can absorb excess energy from RaToraTah combo and allow him to function properly. It also gives OOO access to various Candroids.
• Tatoba Combo is the main combination that is always used by Kamen Rider OOO using the Taka, Tora & Batta Core Medals. As Tatoba Combo, OOO is armed with the Tora Claw gauntlets, and can transform his legs into Batta Legs to reach enemies that are out of his reach, such as ones that can fly. This combo is also the most balanced in speed and power. He can execute a Rider Kick called the Tatoba Kick, where after jumping high up through the Batta Legs, he descends with a drop kick through the three rings that form, which are in the primary colors of the Taka, Tora, and Batta Medals which surround him in auras depending on the Core Medals. After passing through the red ring representing the Taka Medal, he is surrounded in a red veil with wings, the yellow ring representing the Tora Medal gives an aura with claws, while the green ring representing the Batta Medal gives an aura with legs. Like the True Tatoba Combo, the plain Tatoba also can dual-wield the Medajalibur and the Medagabryu, as seen in The Shogun and 21 Core Medals.
• Gatakiriba Combo is Kamen Rider OOO's green combination, using the Kuwagata, Kamakiri and Batta Medals. As Gatakiriba Combo, OOO can create massive numbers of duplicates of himself known as the Branch Shade, shoot lightning from its horns, use the Kamakiri Swords, and jump high up with the Batta Legs. This Combo's Scanning Charge finisher is the Gatakiriba Kick, where after splitting into several duplicates, OOO jumps into the air and performs a series of flying sidekicks on the target. OOO can use the Gatakiriba Combo's Branch Shade ability to duplicate himself, then all but the original switched their medals to make the OOO Combo Clones.
• Latorartar Combo is a pure yellow form attained by using the Lion, Tora and Cheetah Medals. As Latorartar Combo, OOO can emit an infrared light called the Liodias, which is intense enough to incinerate, use the Tora Claws, and run at high speeds. The Cheetah Legs also enable Latorartar Combo to perform the Revol Spin Kick. This Combo's Scanning Charge finisher is the Gush Cross, which projects three yellow rings in front of OOO before charging through them with the Cheetah Medal's speed before delievering a cross slash on the target with the Tora Claws infused with the Lion Medal's energy projection.
• The Sagohzo Combo is a pure grey form when the Sai, Gorilla, and Zou Medals are used. As the Sagohzo Combo, OOO gains superhuman strength and gravity manipulation as well the ability to perform strong headbutts through the Sai Head, able to perform the Bagoon Pressure attack by firing the Gori Bagoon gauntlets from his arms and also create powerful shockwaves by banging his chest through the Gorilla Arms, and cause minor earthquakes with the Zou Legs, including a powerful drop attack called the Zou Stomp. This Combo's Scanning Charge finisher is Sagohzo Impact, where OOO manipulates gravity to lift him into the air and weights himself down to hit the ground with a powerful stomp, trapping a Yummy in the ground that forms around it while the reformed ground moves toward OOO where he delivers a powerful double handed punch and headbutt at the same time. The damaged ground reforms after the Scanning Charge.
• Tajadol Combo is Kamen Rider OOO's red combination, using the powers of the Taka, Kujaku and Condor Medals. In this form, the Taka Head becomes the Taka Head Brave, with the eyes becoming red rather than the usual green, wings protrude from the Taka Head, and the hawk head symbol on the forehead becomes more prominant. As Tajadol Combo, Kamen Rider OOO can see far distances, create energy peacock tail feathers to direct at opponents, use the Kujaku Wings to fly, project core medal like energy at it's opponents, shoot streams of fire and use the talon-like attachments of the Condor Legs called the Raptor Edges. This form is armed with the Taja Spinner that can fire orbs of energy at it's opponent. It can also hold a number of Core Medals, enabling him to perform the Giga Scan attack. Tajadol is shown to have an increase in power, speed, and defense, making it the most superior out of the other combos. This Combo's Scanning Charge finisher is the Prominence Drop, where after sprouting wings from the Kujaku Arms, Kamen Rider OOO flies into the air and performs a flying drop kick, with the talons on the Condol Legs splitting apart, on the target.
• Shauta Combo, is Kamen Rider OOO's blue combination, using the powers of the Shachi, Unagi & Tako Medals. As Shauta Combo, Kamen Rider OOO excels in underwater combat, and gains the ability to liquefy his body. It is armed with the Denki Unagi Whips which enable electrically charged attacks, the most powerful being the Voltarm Whip. The Tako Legs allow Shauta Combo to climb walls with their suction cup-like abilities and can split apart for a barrage of hits. This Combo's Scanning Charge is the Octo Banish Rider Kick where OOO liquefies his lower body to propel himself upward, then use the Unagi Whips to drag the opponent upward while OOO goes back down using the Octo Legs to form a drill to burst through the opponent.
• The Burakawani Combo is Kamen Rider OOO's orange and reptilian Combo. It's Core Medals are the Cobra, Kame and Wani. Burakawani Combo's body is covered in a substance called Soma Venom, which makes him able to heal instantly after taking any attack. As the Burakawani Combo, Kamen Rider OOO's eyesight is doubled and gains infra-red vision, use the tutle shell-like Goura Guardner, and use the Saw Deadscythers on his legs to generate an energy crocodile, which chomps his enemies with every kick. In addition, he is armed with the Burangi, which lets him summon a giant cobra from the "ponytail" on the back of his head to attack enemies. This Combo's Scanning Charge is the Warning Ride Rider Kick, where Kamen Rider OOO projects three orange rings in front of him before dashing through them in a foot-first slide before unleashing a powerful kick with the Saw Deadscythers, which generate a giant energy crocodile head to bite through the target.
• Most Powerful Form: PuToTyra (TV series), Super TaToBa (MegaMax)
• The Putotyra Combo is Kamen Rider OOO's purple combination. As a result of the purple Medals residing in his body, Eiji is undergoing a process known as "Greeedification", gradually turning him into a Greeed the longer the Medals are inside him. The Putotyra Combo has a power that is capable of destroying or damaging Core Medals. After Eiji gains two more Purple Medals, he can access this form in the usual way or can transform straight into Putotyra while in Greeed form. Putotyra's flight speed is faster than Tajadol, has greater jumping height, and its punching and kicking powers are stronger than the other Combos. This Combo consists of the Dinosaur Core Medals: the Ptera, Torikera, and Tyranno Medals. As Putotyra Combo, Kamen Rider OOO uses wings on the Ptera Head, called External Fins, to fly, as well as to freeze the opponent with a blast of icy air; the horns on the Torikera Shoulders, called the Wind Stinger, which can stretch into various lengths according to Eiji's command; and the Tyranno Legs' thigh armor can combine to form a tail, called the Tail Divider, that can give off a devastating blow. This Combo's Scanning Charge finisher is the Blasting Freezer. When activated, OOO uses his Torikera Shoulders' Wind Stingers to stab his opponents in the shoulders to hold them in place, while he uses his Ptera Head's External Fins to freeze them immediately after, and the Tyranno Leg's Tail Divider to finish them off by smashing them into frozen shards.
• Super Tatoba Combo has the Super Taka Head, similar to the Taka Head Brave while in the Tajadol Combo, the longer and sharper Super Tora Solid tri-claws, and the spiked Super Batta Legs. Because the Medals powering this Combo are displaced in time, OOO can stop time to gain the upper hand on his enemies. This Combo's Scanning Charge finisher is a Rider Kick called the Super Tatoba Kick which is a more powerful version of the Tatoba Kick.

Double:

• Has the vast knowledge of the Earth (The Gaia Memory)
• Has 9 different Basic Forms, 1 Mid-Season Upgrade (FangJoker), 1 Super Mode (Xtreme) and 1 Eleventh Hour Superpower (Gold Xtreme)
• CycloneJoker is the primary form used by Double. It is colored green and black from the Cyclone and Joker Memories, hence known as the "Fast Skilled Warrior." CycloneJoker is considered to be the most well balanced, thus making it Double's default form. This form's finishing move is a drop kick Rider Kick called the Joker Extreme, during which Double's body splits down the middle as the halves descend on their target. A variation of this attack involves Double jumping off the back wheel of Kamen Rider Accel Bike Form, allowing for faster acceleration upon descent.
• HeatMetal is the second true form used by Double. It is colored red and silver and is accessed from the Heat and Metal Memories, hence known as the Blazing Warrior . In this form, the damage from the Metal Shaft is increased by fire. A common tactic used by Double is to turn around while changing to this form, using the Metal Shaft on his back to block enemy attacks before counterattacking. HeatMetal is considered to be the strongest, but also the slowest of the 9 forms, due to its running speed and weight and it's jumping height is weaker than the other 2 Metal forms. Its finishing attack is the Metal Branding causing one or both ends of the Metal Shaft to ignite on fire and deliver a final blow to the opponent.
• LunaTrigger is a form that first appears in the television series. It is a gold and blue form accessed with the Luna Memory and the Trigger Memory hence known as the Homing Skilled Sniper. In this form, Double's Trigger Magnum is able to fire gold and blue bolts that can curve and track targets. LunaTrigger is mostly well-suited for marksmanship, but its shots are slower than the other 2 Trigger forms. Its finishing attack is the Trigger Full Burst, which fires multiple charged homing shots at the enemy.
• Has the HardBoilder and the RevolGarry as his vehicles.
• Most Powerful form: CycloneJoker Xtreme (In movies, CycloneJoker Gold Xtreme)
• CycloneJoker Xtreme is the evolved form of CycloneJoker accessed with the Xtreme Memory, linking it directly to the infinite knowledge of the true Gaia Memory through the iridescent band going down the middle of Kamen Rider Double's body called the Crystal Server. The knowledge of this form allows Double to instantly analyze the opponent's capabilities. During the transformation, the middle of Double begins to glow as the Xtreme Memory absorbs the Cyclone and Joker Memories and attaches itself onto the Double Driver. The Xtreme Memory opens up revealing a spinning X as Double rips open the center revealing the prism-colored center. Unlike the other forms of Double, where Shotaro or Philip provide the body for their Rider Form, the Xtreme Memory absorbs Philip's body and fuses it with Shotaro's body in their Rider Form becoming one in body, mind and soul. By gathering energy into his fists from either halves Double can throw powerful punches at the opponent. CycloneJoker Xtreme's Maximum Drive is the Double Xtreme Rider Kick, activated by re-opening the Xtreme Memory, where a large tornado emitted from the XtremeMemory carries Double into the air and accelerates him towards the target. By using the Prism Memory in the Double Driver's Maximum Slot and activating its Maximum Drive as well as the Xtreme Memory's Maximum Drive, it enables CycloneJoker Xtreme to perform a powered-up version of the Double Xtreme called the Double Prism Xtreme which extends the initial drop kick into bicycle kicks. In this form, Double wields the Prism Bicker which has its own Maximum Drives.
• CycloneJoker Gold Xtreme is an enhanced version of CycloneJoker Xtreme. This form is achieved when intense wind blows against Double and into the Xtreme Memory and activates its full potential. In this form, the Crystal Server turns golden with a set of insect wings that allows Double to fly.

Let the games begin! Each round will only last a day, so get to voting!

OOO. Eiji is versatile, creative, a strong fighter, and, unlike Fourze, makes excellent use of his various tools without fumbling around or relying on any one strategy.
Double is powerful, but OOO is just stronger.
