SpaceGodzillaAdmin21927 XPJan-31-2013 7:34 PMTeam GhidorahEvery Godzilla fan loves a great [i]Who Would Win[/i] debate. So, I'll start them off. [b]Titanosaurus[/b] versus [b]Rodan[/b], both monsters from the classic [i]Godzilla[/i] films. If these two Kaiju were to face each other, who do you think would come out victorious and why?

I myself am a huge fan of [b]Titanosaurus[/b], but Rodan has the advantage of flight. It's a tough call, who do you think would win? Post your debate below!

Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPJan-31-2013 8:19 PMI've got to go with Rodan. He got speed, power and that sonic boom of his.
SpaceGodzillaAdmin21927 XPFeb-03-2013 1:59 PMTeam GhidorahI think Rodan would definitely have the speed advantage, but Titanosaurus is by far tougher. I think Rodan would have a hard time taking him down. Not to mention, Titanosaurus could conjure up some crazy wind action and make it difficult for Rodan to stay airborne. With a ground match, I'd have to give it to Titanosaurus.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPFeb-03-2013 9:05 PMRodan has the experience, Titanosaurus has that tail thingy and his annoying laugh/roar.
SpaceGodzillaAdmin21927 XPFeb-04-2013 1:36 PMTeam GhidorahI'm still unsure, it's a tough call. I think in the end, Titanosaurus would win the fight. He's bigger, tougher and has that ability to create huge gusts of winds which would make flying impossible for Rodan.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPApr-24-2013 10:23 PMTitanosaurus all the way. His skin is like diamond, and he's really tough. Rodan doesn't stand a chance. Well, maybe.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPMay-13-2013 9:16 AMrodan because he is alot faster and he can fly. titanasaurus may be stronger but rodan can transform into fire rodan and rodan has fought more monsters than titanasaurus.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPMay-20-2013 5:55 PMChange that annoying cackle of his, and i say Titanosaurus
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPMay-21-2013 7:12 AMRodan has the flight, strength and the sonic boom. Titanosaurus has not only his strength, the gusts, his toughness, but also can stay underwater as well. But even though Titanosaurus does have these abilities, Rodan is tougher than some of the people have given him credit for. Also he could probably conjure something from the sky, such as make avalanches, etc. from very far up. But, if Rodan were to try to fight low or on land, Titanosaurus does have his wind and enough strength to capture Rodan from the sky at least temporarily. And, if the battle were by any form of water, Titanosaurus could use that to his advantage.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPMay-25-2013 4:12 PMI'm a huge Rodan fan, stemming back from the original, so I'm a touch biased here, but I think as long as he could employ a stick-and-move strategy, he'd be ok. I just think Titanosaurus' edge in strength and toughness would give him enough time to eventually get in a couple lucky shots and carry the day. Of course, since lately Rodan and Godzilla have been palling around, that might not be a great idea...The Big G may come callin'...Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPMay-28-2013 9:19 PMTitanosaurus. I love Rodan and I'm saying this. Titanosaurus has the Strength and his gusts of wind.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPAug-05-2013 4:35 PMRodan. Speed is the difference. If Fire Rodan, bigger edge because he doesn't have to come with reach of Titanosaurus' wind.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPMay-17-2014 5:33 PMTitanosauus has the tornado tail and the sonic blasts that would majorly disrupt rodan while in flight.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPMay-17-2014 5:38 PMTitanosaurus has the tornado tail and sonic blasts that would disrupt rodan while in flight. Awesome picture by the way, Titanosaurs is one of my favorite monsters.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPMay-17-2014 8:19 PMI don't see how Titanosaurus could make Rodan commit to a fight or finish him off. Or even really hurt Rodan if Rodan didn't want to be hurt.
Rodan's advantage of flight COMBINED with the fact that Titanosaurus is a short ranged/melee fighter means that the only battle they fight is a battle Rodan has picked on Rodan's terms. I know Titanosaurus technically has that windstorm ability, but it never struck me as that long range. It seems to only affect buildings/creatures in close proximity, similar to Mothra's windstorm.
That being said (unless we are talking about Fire Rodan), Rodan doesn't have any real way to hurt Titanosaurus either. Rodan is strictly melee, and Rodan would not want to close distance, because if he did, he'd sacrifice any advatange he had.
My guess is, Rodan would get a few nuisance swooping strikes in before Titanosaurus would figure out the drill, and then neither would engage...it being a draw.
Now if you're gonna FORCE these two guys to ACTUALLY fight....Titanosaurs would kick the ever living crap out of Rodan, being way more formidable in the melee combat the two would engage in.
***Edit*** If we're talking about Fire Rodan....Rodan wins the game of patience. He could just kite and shoot Titanosaurus at leisure, and there's not much Titanosaurus could do about it other than get killed or retreat to the sea (assuming the sea was only a short distance away)
