Welcome to the Eastern Conference of the Queen of the Iron Fist Tournament. After this round, there will only be eight competitors remaining, so without any further ado, let’s get to it!

Fight 1: Hitomi (Dead or Alive) vs. Taki (Soul Calibur)

Hitomi’s hair is starting to remind me of a Half-Life headcrab while Taki is still looking fine as ever in her skin tight spandex. I hate to say it but the Dead or Alive beauty is going to bite the dust this round as the nut-busting ninja moves on.

Winner: Taki

Fight 2: Tina Armsrong (Dead or Alive) vs. Setsuka (Soul Calibur)

Another DOA vs. Soul Calibur matchup isn’t unexpected since both games have a broad stable of hot chicks. This time however the beach volleyball expert slightly edges out the kimono-wearing, hair-color changer. You just can’t compete with that body.

Winner: Tina

Fight 3: Nina Williams (Tekken) vs. R. Mika (Street Fighter)

Nina Williams might be a token hot blonde, but she might be the hottest token hot blonde out there, and honestly, R. Mika is just beginning to freak me out a little at this point. Saying she’s hot is kind of like saying Alice in Wonderland is hot, it’s just a little wrong.

Winner: Nina

Fight 4: Sonya (Mortal Kombat) vs. Ivy (Soul Calibur)

Sonya was good to make it this far, but Ivy steamrolls another competitor in this matchup. Her outfit is simply outrageous and once again her boobs eclipse everything about her opponent Will anyone be able to de-rail this buxom freight train?

Winner: Ivy

Well that’s it for the smokin’ sixteen, and next week we’ll have the entire proceedings of the (insert sexy adjective rhyming with eight) Eight battles. We’re down to the best of the best now, and you should expect some upsets in this advanced stage of the competition.
