WHOEVER WINS, WE LOSE.

LOL That would be cool

I wonder if Victor can shut Oldbag up by throwing seeds into her mouth when she's talking
Haha, I can just imagine that!

She talks so much they'd just get blown right back out. They wouldn't have time to build up.

After all, she IS the windy Oldbag.

Well, he can go for the ultimate move and shove his whole seed box in her face

Or is that too violent for a pairing?

CAN'T UNSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

No such thing as "too violent" where Oldbag is concerned =P

That's a bit too violent, I think. And he wouldn't do that. He'd have nothing left to eat-because he DOES eat them himself.
Also: Poor Oldbag! He has an infinite ammo code in that thing! Imagine Oldbag, seeds pouring down her throat for the rest of her life/eternity, whichever comes first.

I think it would be a love-hate thing. I mean, they wouldn't constantly be arguing but well, they'll argue a lot.

Man! Love-hate is really fit for those two, they are too damn hot - tempered!

As for me, the love-love thing I would prefer for her would be x cause that would also mean x (I'm referring to the ray gun).

Yay! Crack pairings FTW!

Yogi's too depressing to be with Oldbag though. D:

So...um...why don't people like Larry/Iris?

etc etc etc

I think it's an interesting idea. I think if they showed up together in a later game I wouldn't be shocked. It's just a little strange to root for Larry in any pairing because it's hard to take him seriously. Sure he hit on Iris a lot in that case (before knowing she was Phoenix's girlfriend) but he also flirts with almost every woman you see him interact with (and several off screen). I find it hard to imagine him in a long-lasting relationship with someone.

Then again, if he's with Iris and Bikini alone on a mountaintop, at least there aren't other women around to tempt him...?

Larry is clueless, delusional, headstrong, impulsive, immature, imbecilic, and otherwise incompetent at anything he strives for. Furthermore, although he may have good intentions, they usually lead to disaster, and frequent breakups ensue. This is why most of us don’t like to see him paired with anyone at all.
He’s a loser.

He hit on Iris for one reason, and he himself professed this.
“She’s cute”
That qualifies as physical attraction. Whether it is enduring longing or simply a passing crush, is left for the player to decide. However, Larry himself should qualify as an exception…because he contradicts himself way to much. Remember just a few moments ago he swore off women. Next he decides to join with her in nuptials. Fickle much?
And after the first day of the trial, all interest ceased. Maybe it’s simply because he is no longer present, but he no longer pesters Iris, and doesn’t even go after Wright for, in his mind, “stealing her.”
Your last statement, Croik, is something that I myself was about to present. There were no other suitable mates for him at the time he decided to become a "monk".

I bashed Larry, not Iris.
But I don't like Larry, not one bit.

The reason that I propose for a significant number of people being fans of the pairing is because it eliminates Iris as a potential competitor for Phoenix, similar to how many Phoenix/Iris fans, myself not included, like Larry/Maya.

The pairing is completely skewed and would not work out in any way. Larry is not like college Phoenix at all, no, Larry is like pre-K Phoenix, if such an entity existed.

I'm a bit confused by this...um...sure it was just the start, but it took a while for Phoenix and Iris to fall in love. Larry didn't really get a chance to get to know her for this to happen. And, if you could clarify what you mean by the second part? I mean, Iris and Phoenix basically only started dating because of Dahlia, so we know that Phoenix was attracted to her (at first) because of her looks.

I can see what you mean, but I do think that part of the reason Iris couldn't move on was because she knew she never got closure. I don't mean that Phoenix and Iris couldn't get together again after five years (I'd like that too), but you have to admit that loving him and not being able to move on with her life for Five Years shows, to me, that Iris was unable to let it go because she knew Phoenix was ignorant of the truth (it's also not healthy to not move on after so long). Phoenix moved on and began a career because he thought he knew what had happened (even though he didn't). Once Iris can get past this, she could renew her relationship with Phoenix or start one with someone else now that she no longer felt beholden to him. One of the things that I found interesting was that in 5 years, Iris changed remarkably little while Phoenix changed a lot. In part, I think it's because she's held on to this secret.

Um..Mia just suggested that she took a bathroom break (like any normal human being), I would hardly call that a vulgar act that needed to be protected against sullying her dignity. But it also shows, again, just how much of a spaz Phoenix was, kind of how Larry is now, lol. Making ridiculous statements left and right.

I understand what you mean, but I think you need to consider that, at the time, there was no way for Phoenix to know that it was Dahlia and not Iris. Being presented with incriminating evidence and then being told by someone with the face of the person you love that they can’t stand you is pretty rock-solid proof. I understand what you mean, but rationally, Phoenix was being headstrong when he refused to concede to the, at the time, overwhelming evidence. The fact that he didn’t notice immediately that something was wrong when Dahlia took the stand is further evidence of the fact that she can masquerade as her sister effectively.

Of course, it was Iris he dated, but at this point Mia was trying to prove to him that Dahlia was using him for his killing scheme. The point she was trying to make wasn’t that a killer like Dahlia would never go out with a guy like Phoenix but why would a seemingly beautiful, graceful, girl like Dahlia go out with him for any other reason than to use him. Mia thought that Dahlia, and on that note Iris, was out of Phoenix’s league and telling him so.

It’s a lot of fun debating you! I hope I haven’t been disrespectful, as that wasn’t my intention!

I really can't see Larry / Iris happening. Don't forget he made a blackmail letter that scared the shit out of her. That's the wrong way to tell someone you love them. I just think her attractiveness blinded him and he went with it, like what happened with the rest of his girlfriends.

Now / i think would work out because the're attitudes are similar.

Hmm, reading all these posts, I think I don't like Iris with anyone, I think both pairings (Phoenix/Iris and Larry/Iris) are fairly plausible, but I just don't really like them. The only Iris pairing I like to read about is /
and as a reply to Rotan, I do see why you ship and yes, I quite like the idea, but well, I ship Maya with a lot of people so it might not mean much coming from me.

Iris was scared by the blackmail letter because she misinterpreted it, as she had genuine bad secrets to hide. So it was only partly Larry's fault.
That's why I don't think it would work. People have to be complementary opposites in some areas. They're both a bit too un-serious, so things might not work out on a practical level.

But since she did in fact go out with him look out, public enemy #1.

We hate her because she is just fucking annoying
I love how some people relate everything to pairings
We don't care that they've been "dating" because it was all actually just a huge lie

And P/I isn't canon.
Deal with it.

An icer wins for coming up with Iris/Spark
See, we do ship her with people that are worthy of being shippied with her
Like Armstrong and Brushel :)

P/I may not be canon anymore but Young Phoenix/Iris is definately canon, so don't be so harsh on the P/I fans they've got a pretty justifiable grounds for supporting it, after all it worked before and would've if Miss Dahlia hadn't screwed up everything.
