If I'm not mistaken "otaku" generally refers to people with an obsessive behavior towards a certain media, which can be video games but, more often than not, it refers to anime/manga lovers. @wilson ong: Very true... however, the match doesn't have to be Guilty Gear only per se. =) @Xstacy02: Konata plays a wide variety of games (not just eroge). She beat two random dudes and Kagami at a 3D fighting game (I don't know if it's a real game or not... it doesn't look familiar to me) and she also beat Kagami at a quiz game. Not to mention she plays MMOs as well. @Miyu: Puyo Puyo would be a good match. I have a hard time believing that Konata has never played a Puyo Puyo game. @Kabitzin: Hahaha, totally possible with Kousaka's trappy ways ^^; @Linya: That IS kinda scary now that you mention it... =P @Eric: The term “Otaku” doesn’t necessarily have to deal with anime/manga, although in most cases it is.

As someone else said, Konata is more into MMORPGs and dating sims, so if not an online RPG, Kousaka would win. When it comes to anime knowledge... Konata blabbers about anime all the day, breathes anime, and as an advantage to Kousaka, watches anime since she was little (<em>no pun intended</em>). I think she would win. But that's still a tough competition. You know what? I'd love to see them playing Puyo Puyo against eachother. LOL(Saki and Kagami would be scared to death...) It depends on the game.

And Guilty Gear is not eroge.... Try getting the two of them compete in GTA or something and level the playing field I tought Konata only plays eroge? And Guilty Gear is not eroge….

Otakus only recieve that handle when they're into anime, so otakus should battle over their knowledge of anime. Konata would totally kick Kousaka's ass in that! We all know that she constantly blabbers about it all day long. If this is a battle of otakus, than why would it be about video games?

We've only seen her beating on Kagami and some random guys at the arcade (in the anime). On the other hand, we see Kousaka perfecting guys left and right even if the matches shown in the anime are the same fights played over and over >.> @Kyokii: In all honesty, it really is just a popularity contest with a minor criteria for judgement. It would be nice if we had more evidence to base our theories on. If and when I do the next match-up, I'll try to pick two characters with a criteria that has more information to base on. P.S. Konata IS too cool. @DKellis: Yeah, it seems that Kousaka is the king at playing Guilty Gear... no idea if he plays MMOs or not. @DrmChsr0: That would be interesting to watch, wouldn’t it. ^^

If it's PvP in a MMORPG arena, Konata has the advantage. I figure that if it’s something like a few rounds of Guilty Gear or some such, Kousaka would eventually win out.

There isn't enough comparative evidence, really. It ends up being a popularity contest. Anyway... It's too hard to compare these characters who seem to be equal in terms of skill... but I pick Konata just because she is Konata and not Kousaka, who is a guy. Konata is just too cool.

Konata seems like a very good player, but Kousaka is tournament level I believe. Konata beats opponents, but Kousaka destroys them. I think Kousaka would easily win at least 90% of the games that they played against each other. I’d guess Kousaka as well.
