Nope.

Hoid wins.

Ugh, Bella FTL because she never went blood sucking vampiress a.k.a. awesome. BOOOO!

Stephanie Meyer makes my angry.

She had everything set up for a perfect and deadly battle several times throughout the series, but wimped out every single time.

She can't do her characters justice if she saves them through the flimsiest excuse possible every time. ERGH! I refuse to read any other books she writes.

I have to agree with you there. The only fight senes in the book that we see are them kiling James and Edward killing Victoria. I would had LOVED  it if one of the Cullens had died. **Rose***

Oh this is not good. Mentions of Twilight in my thread...Now I must resist the urge to join the bashing, and that's always hard to do where this series is involved....

I agree with Zas. Hoid wins. Hoids beats everybody. Meaning the mistborn, the horse, even Harry Potter. Hoid FTW.

Oh, it's okay. I just wasn't expecting it....It's always been hard for me to resist bashing Twilight when it comes up, and it's just grown all the worse as of late. I'm not sure why. My hatred of it apparently continues to grow as more time passes. Odd, that.

oops... the horse. Ok. I'm ok with that.

I find the same thing. I initially loved the books, but the more I think about it, the more I realized that so much more could have been done easily. /sigh

Ok, no more of that for me.

In any case, coinshots are just too fast for Elantrians to handle. Mistborn wins.

don't be absurd they can make a shield before the mistborn are even in range... and the ones that are really good can teleport a yard to the side and blast them with a power aeon because of the surprise

Hmmm. I guess I'm not really all that surprised about how this has turned out, but...I don't know. I guess it makes sense that so many people are voting for Mistborn, since that was a trilogy and was therefore able to delve much more deeply into the extent of the magic, and such. Whereas with Elantris, it got a fair bit into the magic, but we don't know exactly what each Aeon does. We don't know how fast some Elantrians could get in drawing Aeons if needed to draw quickly....

I'm inclined to think Raoden, given a few years, got get very adept and quick at drawing the Aeons. Quick enough to, like Kaz says, throw up a shield and deflect coins shot at him, or even turn those coins into something else--like feathers (I still can't remember which Aeon it is that changes. Anyone want to help me out here?). I also think he could draw two Aeons at the same time. Yes, this would be difficult, but no more difficult than learning how to play the piano or any other activity which requires both hands doing different motions....

A Raoden like this, I think, would be able to take down Vin fairly easily, while Dilaf/another Dahkor monk distracts Sazed/another Feruchemist long enough for Raoden to take care of them...since, let's face it, the Dahkor monks can't do nearly as much as the Feruchemist can.

We don't know enough about the abilities of the Dakhor monks to accurately compare them to a Feruchemist. For instance, we know they can teleport, but we don't know how they do it other than it requires a human sacrifice. They could have other abilities that were not shown in Elantris.

Yes, but I was actually giving them quite a bit within the confines of this hypothetical battle. They had weight, health, speed, etc....which is more than the monks have (as far as we know, but as Inquisitor pointed out, we don't know everything the monks can do. If I don't want others to be hasty with Elantrians, I shouldn't be hasty with the monks...).
