I know one chick who puts all other anime gals' to shame,

Kino from Kino no tabi,

@Daniel_Newton: Go for it, if you set it up, I promise either Tom or I will do an article to highlight it over the Xmas break, let's call it Xmas Survivor Series or something

Seeing the other teams, I'm going to go in a different direction for my lineup. But I will still follow the standard as put forth in "It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia." First, "the Brains." Someone who can visualize and carry the perfect plan. Someone who can assert themselves while keeping the a coehsive fight unit. I choose Asuna (Sword Art Online). As the vice-commander in the game's largest guild, she has the skill, experience, and determination to quickly size up a situation and form a competent starategy. Even the game's greatest player said that her speed and skill were unmatched. And I haven't even to mentioned the courage it took to risk her life day after day for years to clear the nastiest of the game's monstorous bosses. Secondly, "the Looks." You need an indivual that can charm their way into information and opportunities that unlock critical avenues of attack. I choose Paprika (Paprika). One, she is one of the most seductive characters ever created (I frequently refer to her as the girl of my dreams). Two, she is a dream psychologist who can cross the dream/reality threshold. My team doesn't need a hacker because she can deduce any password or trap due to her classical training. And if the going gets tough, she can rumble with the worst of them (remember the final fight of the film?), just as long as she can dream a little larger than her opponent is capable of. Next, "the Muscle." The description is pretty obvious so I won't bother with that. I choose Hakura (FLCL). While I would normally save her for my final category (the Wild Card), I feel like she could excel as the muscle of the group. She has an unorthidox fighting style and has survived for years outside of intergalactic law. She could also summon a giant robot to assist her if the there's too much heat for her and her bass guitar to handle. Finally, "the Wildcard." Someone who's personality or abilities make them combustible and creates beautiful havok on the battlefield. This choice is straight out of left field, but I choose Makoto (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time). Now while she is not a fighter, she has one key capability that no one else does, she can go back in time. This would effectively allow the ultimate do-over. She can take the knowledge from the first battle and inform the group of any potential pitfalls. True to the wilcard form, this would make the team utterly unpredictable in the eyes of any foes. My team is a little more cerebral then other teams, but thats what makes it strong. Because ultimately the best weapon, is the one you never have to fire.
