MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2013 10:04 AM With every second that passes, we get closer and closer to the official release of Jurassic Park 4. As we near that date, interest builds not only for the series, but for dinosaurs in general. Sadly, since the release date isn't looking to be any time soon (late 2014, perhaps?), we need something to occupy us while we wait. As a crazy 3 am sleep deprived idea(I'm taking a nap after I write this), I came up with the idea for a tournament... A tournament to determine what the most dominant dinosaurs of all time were. I haven't quite worked out all the details yet, but I'll tell you what I have:
The dinosaurs are split in to 5 classes: small, medium, large, and very large. For example; in the small class would be dinosaurs like Bambiraptor, Troodon, Velociraptor, Pachycephalosaurus, and Coelophysis.
Medium would include species such as Suchomimus, Albertosaurus, Yutyrannus, Utahraptor, and Toujiangosaurus.
Large would feature titans like Giganotosaurus, Tyrannotitan, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Allosaurus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus.
The very large class will be exclusive to sauropods and titanosaurs. However, the very large will fight against medium to large sized carnivores, usually as an individual or perhaps two that have to fight the predators in packs.
Another evener of odds is the rule that if smalls like Velociraptors take on Utahraptors, they will have a bigger pack. Maybe 6 on three?
Some dinosaurs will be excluded, like Protoceratops and Archaeopteryx, since they can't really fight that well. I should also warn you ahead of time that there PROBABLY won't be a Spino vs. Rex battle for two reasons: it's been done to death and it would cause controversy if one beat the other.
There may occasionally be non-dinosaurs in the challenges, like Sarcosuchus and maybe Dimetrodon or something.
This will be 100% unbiased.
Depending on how successful the series is, I may go on to make an underwater edition, then perhaps an ice age edition.
What dinosaurs do you want to see face off? Any suggestions as to rules? Should landscape, bystanders, and weather be factors?

MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2013 10:19 PMWell i hope you catch up on that sleep DinoFights
however the fight between spino and rex has been decided for you already *courtesy of me and makaveli7* check it out [url=http://www.jurassicpark4-movie.com/community/forums/topic/25005] HERE [/url] Also to make it a bit easier i have formatting for the comparison and i am willing to write a fight scene for you *if needed* Also i know ALI3N was looking in to making a animated youtube channel, if you ask politely he may be willing to animate some of the fights for you... *maybe*
Height
length
weapons
location
weight
speed
diet
*and anything else you can come up with*
as for everything else not sure, i do know that for most of the fights to be realistic they should happen on isla nublar or sorena with the buildings as bystanders, as for everything else, for each fight draw the weather condition scenario and everything else from a hat to make it fair
I await your reply -paden

MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2013 11:46 PMI'm going to recommend a battle.
Majungosaurus vs Carnotaurus -though Carno had size, Majungo had a stronger skeleton and was specialized for battle. I think it would be a pretty good battle.
Also, I think that size class shouldn't be determined just by length, but by overall size. For example; Majungosaurus and Dilophosaurus were the same length, but Majungo was way more heavily built.

MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2013 11:53 PMHer are the size classes
Small: anything up to 20 feet
Medium: 21-35 feet
Large: 36-60 feet
Very large: 61+ feet
There will be some exceptions, like with Majungosaurus being in medium, and Triceratops being in large due to overall size.
I would also like to correct my mistake of putting "there will be 5 classes", when there are actually 4. There were 5, but I removed one.

MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2013 12:00 AMMaybe there should be a super small class for dinosaurs like archaeopteryx and microraptor. While it wouldn't be the most interesting, it would be somewhat entertaining.
DinoFights
MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2013 12:04 AMThat was the 5th class. I removed it not because it wouldn't be entertaining, but because there was a lack of dinosaurs to put in there.

MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2013 12:12 AMThere were a lot of small dinosaurs: compsagnathus, procompsagnathus, segisaurus, and sinornithosaurus among others.

MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2013 12:14 AMYeah but none of them were really capable of killing eachother. Just smaller lizards and bugs, really.

MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2013 3:28 PMGood idea not doin Rex vs Spino. I think a pair or trio of Ceratosaurs vs a single Allosaurus would be cool. If you want ideas, check out Jurassic Fight Club. Utahraptor vs Acrocanthosaurus would be cool too. This was depicted in Raptor Red, love that book.

MemberCompsognathusMay-22-2013 7:22 PMThat fight scene would be good to watch... But has one major flaw. I will touch on that in a min. While both creatures were respectable in their own right t-Rex with its massive head and bone crushing jaws and spino with the massive front limbs with claws and unusual size for a fishing Dino.... So here my take on this battle. Trex brute force wise would be hard to deal with especially in close quarters forest combat spinos size would work against it being less Manuaverable around the trees but the large claws and forearms help. A well place bite from the Rex and the spino is down as well as a good slash from the spino could severely wound the Rex to make it easy for the kill. But the major flaw with this fight and the scene made above is the spino's sail . Which is its ultimate down fall because the sail isn't just a plate attached to flesh like stegosaurus the sail run down into the Bertabrates of spinos back which it were to topple over from a head but or like described above with a well time kick it would break its back incampassitating it and would lead to its death via Rex or even a pack of smaller Dino's such as the many species of raptor that inhabited the same area as the spinosaur
