Shiva VS. Ifrit.

[Mirage]

Fire is also weak to ice, just so you know. Furthermore, a fire needs three things to stay alive. Heat, a combustible material, and oxygen. If you don't have enough of any of these three, it will die. Ice could very well lower the temperature enough for the fire to get extinguished.

shiva is cooler, but ifrit could melt her down any day. Plus he's almost always stronger :]

fire doesn't need heat to subsist, stale xD heat is a by-product of an incomplete combustion reaction.

They just picked ice to counter fire because it's cold and fire's hot :] the chemistry of their elements is pretty lacking. (lol water can be an electrolyte!)

but if we were going to their name sakes, I would pick mr. hindu destroyer(sorry Ryushikaze, you're going to have to come up with some links before I'll agree with you on this) over mr. arabic demon.

You can't make a fire without the materials being hot enough to combust, rubah :(

half naked shiva ftw!

[Eiko Guy]

depends where they fight

[blackmage_nuke]

Fire needs to be pretty hot to burn diamonds, or diamond dust

Shiva only because her ice moves would own Ifrit.

Shiva is originally a supreme god, I don't know about him being a Fire God or not. But since this is strictly Final Fantasy-based, I'm going with Ifrit. Demons are better than half-naked frigid women anyway.

I should kill you where you stand.

But then I would be dead.

I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

[loza]

Ifrit, burn baby burn! ifrit wins...

[Dynast-Kid]

Shiva, no contest.

[lufia]

shiva's agility is much higher, and diamond is the hardest material on earth

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

half naked shiva ftw!

Fully naked Ifrit ftw!

[Mirage]

shiva's agility is much higher, and diamond is the hardest material on earth :choc2:

Too bad they're not actual diamonds, just a catchy name.

[Bunny]

shiva's agility is much higher, and diamond is the hardest material on earth :choc2:

Natural material. Ultrahard fullerite and Aggregated Diamond Nanorods are both harder. The former being used in the process to create the latter.

Ifrit would win, Shiva is Ice, not snow or water, and Ice loses to fire, period.

You obviously havn't played Enchanted Arms my friend.

(SPOILER)The Queen of Ice, not snow or water, defeated the Emperor of Fire.

I now love that game simply for giving me ammo to use against you my friend.
