Question: Who would win a in a duel between David Surf or Douglas Rakan?

Explanation: We never got to see this duel in Chronicles…

Answer:

1. It is extremely difficult to determine who would win this duel. Stats wise they match up well. In fact it’s pretty even. Rakan has better focus ability, but Surf is stronger and has more vitality. Surf is also faster….

2. Next you have to look at how the two warriors stacked up in their duels they fought.

a. Rakan fought against Tekrin Lavisco…and won. Mostly due to physicality. Then he fought against Samuel Wesley, and retreated against him…This was mostly due to the threat of having to fight more stari masters. Then he fought against Isaiah McCloud and Samuel Wesley…and lost.

b. Surf only had 2 duels in Chronicles. He fought Henry Baswaski and basically won…although he had a little bit of help from Dekrin Lavisco. Then he fought Bobbi Kirlienko and lost. However that was mostly due to Bobbi cheating to win the duel….

c. Lets put it together…Both warriors are physical fighters and both won against the heads of the other’s orders mostly due to that. Bobbi K isn’t as powerful overall as Henry

Baswaski….and he lost to Isaiah McCloud, who beat Bobbi K…at a younger age at that.

3. So looking at duels didn’t help too much. To be honest, I could see this duel going both ways, even though Rakan is more powerful overall clearly. So Douglas starts the duel between him and David. The two lock swords…Surf stays aggressive, but Rakan dodges a fair share of the attacks. And while Rakan has a focus advantage, Surf stays close enough to Rakan since he’s faster. Rakan is used to overpowering his opponent but he finds himself outmatched in that category here. However Rakan ropes a dope and waits for Surf to go on the defensive, before launching his deadly Comet Shower attack…Surf cannot dodge the attack but instead fires a star shot at it….This is effective enough to allow Surf to survive the attack…but it’s too late, Rakan goes on the offensive and eventually cuts down the weakened stari master….

4. Winner Douglas Rakan: While Surf had more physicality, he wasn’t all that much stronger…Rakan could keep him at bay in this hypothetical duel…Also David was unable to have a counter for Rakan’s focus attacks….the only way Surf could win is if he just overpowered Rakan. However I feel Rakan is too crafty to let that happen…but again I’m not saying Surf had no chance. In fact if Surf had any help (Like Dekrin Lavisco) it would be an easy win against Rakan.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways. The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
