Yeah, so I kinda had an inkling about this one. But I still really wanted to see the biggest MW vs the smallest. Okami, at 6 ft 2, and Serra at 5'6". Sadly, shitty-Serra showed up, rather than Super-Serra, so I donno if we really got to see the battle royale i was hoping for. That said, a good job by Okami using his skills to out-skill his less-skilled opponent. SKILLZ. Oh, and reach. Mainly reach. Lots and lots of reach. Serra's a stubber like Sherk. Okami is as tall as a Transformer...after it transforms!
