Quidditch vs Blitzball (w/ poll)

[Renmiri]

Not soccer, more like basketball.

Basketball without the bouncing and with vertical baskets ?

Well, its what the book says.

BTW, tell me if the Quidditch designers didn't get some inspiration from FFX's blitzball. Doesn't she look Al Bhed ?

Now that probably infringes on copyright.

Anyway, I'd love to see EA make a version of blitz that's a bit more ... sporty. Turn-based water polo isn't all that great. The rules don't need to be tweaked much, except maybe to allow for greater use of the 3D sphere (in the game, they are always on the same plane).

I think if you had the ability to actually play (as in not a video game), Blitz would be more fun. Mostly because the rules are a bit more fair -- in the books, the snitch is worth something like 150 points, meaning that you could have your ass handed to ya, and still win -- if you catch the snitch. That makes the first 90% of the game a waste.

I think the fatal flaw in this theory is that Qudditch was a game that had been conceptualized long before Blitzball. If anything, you'd have to say it was the other way around.

They're both overrated in their respective "worlds", but I think I'd take Blitzball over Quidditch. I like how Blitzball teams discriminate entry to the team on the grounds of race (Hello Ronso Fangs, Guado Whatchacallems and Al Bhed Psyches!) and manage to escape without a single law suit, much less a rant in various left-wing blogs. Speaking of the which, I think most blogs in Spira would be anti-Maester Mika. HE'S SO STUPID AND HE DECLARED WAR ON SIN AND HE'S SO STUPID DID I MENTION THAT?

Not race, state / country. You can see an Al Bhed in the Guado Team if you play blitz for a couple of tournaments. Just like you can see a white man running for Kenya (as if!) swimming for Kenya...

Talking about blogs in Spira...

It's a tough decision: flying, or breathing underwater? I dunno....
Wait; an Al Bhed on the Guado team???
....
Huh.

[boys from the dwarf]

they are both cool. in the books i have nothing against quidditch but in video games blitzball is a lot better.

[Mo-Nercy]

Geeks.

I favour Blitzball because I hate Harry Potter.

[Crop]

If it was real I would much preffer to play quidditch, I mean flying on a broom is much better than swimming. But in game form blitzball is da one.

[YTDN]

In real life I'd play Blitzball 'coz I'm scared of heights.

[Lost Number]

Id play blitz too, but cause you get better tackles and no obvious ref.

[Ashley Schovitz]

I choose Quidditch because I like the rules better, I never played the game but I always read the books and I like it better.
