Snotty? I'll have you know I just blew my nose.

I'm going with Gemstone. There's something about that face that just looks more unique.

Gemzilla is pretty badass. No amount of Showa elitism could compel me to vote for the Worst Godzilla Suit Ever™.
The wisest words ever spoken on TK: "When I Saw The Showa Movie's white My Friend's They seid WTF is This Your showing Me to Men Fighting In suit's they found At party city Butt when I Showed Them The Heisei film's they thoght They where pritty fun To Watch"

I voted Gemstone Godzilla too. I like that he looks like normal non super mutated Shin Godzilla. I liked vs Gigan Rex and knowing there's a chance he might be an adult Godzilla Jr. makes me happy he isn't just using the old design. Showa is my favorite era of Japanese cinema, but I'm no Showa elitist. Godzilla 55 makes for good analog horror memes. That's it.

I do enjoy the '55, especially the side view. And I enjoy the dorsal plates. But it looks really goofy from the front.

Seeing these votes for 55 just makes me sad. People here are willing to ride any suit no matter how ugly it is just so long as it is not CGI.

Today I have sides with the Showa elitists. For me its purely personal I want revenge on Gemstone for taking out radogoji. :twisted:

I dunno man. The fact Ultima somehow beat 2004 is a sign that something might be a bit off about your way of thinking.

The way several of these rounds (including this one) have gone proves your statement wrong.

Also, I voted 55 because I actually *like* it’s design better than Gemstone. Don’t care how the design was portrayed (because that’s not what we’re voting for here).

Also also, you guys all have terrible taste in Godzilla designs!! :P

If the '55 ends up pulling this out, at least we're avoiding a rematch lol.

I mean, Gemstone here only lost by one point to the '04 as well. I seeded it so low because it was a new comer, and it did outperform my expectations.

Added in 2 hours 33 seconds:
Wow, pretty big win for Gyakushugoji! Putting up the next match now.

While I like certain elements about Marvel G, G14 is definitely the more well realized and visually balanced/striking Americanized design of the two. Hardly even a competition lol.

Also, I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of gemstone but the design that looks like Sid the Sloth cosplaying as Dracula on cocaine from the front winning is utterly mystifying to me.

I thought it would be a closer match at least.

Sorry Marvel, you're underrated but G'14 is the definition of Godzilla to many people.

G14. Marvel may have the better Cinematic Universe, but at least the MV can say they have the better Godzilla design.

Marvel is good, but G14 looks far better.
