And thus ends Aslan's run. But stay tuned: Kvothe battles Dumbledore starting this Wednesday, and in the meantime, make sure to watch the video recap: http://bit.ly/aDmhZe Also, make sure to vote on the beginning of Round 3, which just began: http://bit.ly/dCDWem

Both books are amazing, both characters are awesome. Just enjoy the show and have fun. Stop ragging on either outcomes and accept it. The Name of the Wind isn’t exactly a “one hit wonder” when it’s the first novel he’s really put out. If he had put out dozens of books and only of them good, that’d be a one hit wonder. But the name of the wind is amazing, and so are the chronicles of narnia. Who cares who would win based on the books, thats what this is about, using more imagination than just the books to determine who “could” win.

This can’t get any funnier than a mouse causing more confusion at a strip joint in Vegas. C’mon, Aslan v. Kvothe, what is this a lawsuit gone horribly wrong? Or has someone really lost their marbles? Could be Terry. But I don’t to think about that.

I think Patrick wrote the battle most likely.
In a conflict, Aslan surely win.
Thinking in the psychology of the characters, it is pretty likely to Aslan to accept to back away of the battle, so that Kvothe can live for another book.

Um. Wow.
GRRM fan here from Not A Blog. I’ve heard mixed things about The Name of the Wind, and Kvothe sounded like a Grade-A douche in the Official Suvudu Summary, so I was hoping Aslan would barrel through this guy. (Narnia was my first fantasy series, for one.)
But Patrick Rothfuss’ version of this fight is a total Crowning Moment of Awesome. And now, even though I voted for Aslan early on, I actually want to read his book.

Cthulhu’s tentacles, can we not just close the voting for this round, and move on?

Ross, requiring homonyms in all attacks is not at all where I was going. Could be fun, but I prefer to await round three.

To everyone who says that Kvothe could win because Aslan wouldn’t fight. Kvothe doesn’t fight unless he has to. He certainly wouldn’t fight anyone like Aslan because it’s not in Aslan character to put himself in a position where Kvothe would want to kill him. The whole point of this is to assume that they are fighting so motivations go out the window. People also seem to think that Kvothe can win because he’ll know Aslan’s name and Aslan depends on belief. What you’re basically saying is that if you take Kvothe at his absolute strongest and take Aslan at his absolute weakest (which we have no reason to assume) then Kvothe might win. Gotta go with Aslan

My apologies. Identifying major and minor premises and such just reminded me of someone who recently had to get it all just right on a homework assignment or get points taken off, haha. So I took a stab at it and guessed you were in or had recently finished a class.
Citizen, I believe one should add homonyms to all attacks.
