Snow

This is tough. There are times when I don't think Jon can hang. He admits to not being on par with the Halfhand despite having killed him, which puts him in a league below some of the all time elite fighters of Westeros. But I also feel like, without a lot of direct evidence, he improves by the time he's named Lord Commander. But does he improve enough?

i actually agree with this but i think his b*stard strength is the deciding factor

[Kaius]

Mance Rayder gives Jon all he can handle in the training yard. Not that this is the bottom line, but it must be indicative of his skill level. Granted, Longclaw is an immediate upgrade, and Jon was caught off guard. I still think what Syrio did against Trant and his posse is almost up there with what Oberyn did against the Mountain in terms of impressive feats.

Agreed. It's going to take me a little while to make up my mind here.

Jon Snow did kill that white walker.

[Norah]

killing an other aint no thing if you've got dragon glass

even that craven sam could manage it

[tommymtcom]

I mean, Jon fought the thing in single combat and won. That must count for something.

[Norah]

pfft, in the show

[tommymtcom]

This is a Game of Thrones tournament, not a Song of Ice and Fire tournament.

[Norah]

you know nothing

[@SkitchP]

Jon Snow

[Kaius]

5 - 5

Tommy, were you casting a vote or just discussing?

[Kaius]

To be fair, if Jon didn't have that Valyrian steel, that white walker was going to make him his ice bitxh.

[tommymtcom]

Did we ever see Syrio fight anyone worth a damn? He seemed like a really good fighter, but he gets killed by Meryn Fucking Trant.

I vote for Jon Snow.

[Kaius]

He's not dead!

[Kaius]

Even if he did, he was weapon less against a knights guard knight. Pretty stacked odds.
