Who would win? (Video Game Edition)

He fan take on armies of mooks who barely know how to handle a gun. He's also a normal human and needs his vital organs to function. The Boss could do what he does except the mooks wouldn't even see him or know they were being taken out until there's only a few left. The Boss would probably snipe him from his tower for kicks.

I'd also like to see an example of him getting shot in the head outside of game mechanics and it doesn't impair/ outright kill him.

Claiming that a character's abilities 'don't count' because they aren't realistic is a poor argument. By that logic, Mario shouldn't win a jumping contest because "No human can jump that high."

Now, sharp contrasts between cutscenes and ingame abilities should be considered, but dismissing their abilities out of hand is a flawed argument.

This one goes to MGS Boss hands down.

SR Boss fought the National Guard? MGS Boss fought the German army. While pregnant.

SR Boss survived an exploding boat? MGS Boss survived exposure to cosmic radiation and re-entry in a poorly designed space pod.

SR Boss can survive several headshots thanks to game mechanics? MGS Boss can survive several thanks to game mechanics. And a headshot in her backstory.

SR Boss is cartoonishly over the top? MGS Boss is from Metal Gear Solid.

Samus Aran vs Sarah Kerrigan (Post Infestation)

Depends if Sarah gets the Zerg behind her. But I don't know. Samus is respnsible for making a species extinct.

In a one-on-one fight, Samus. She kills bloodthirsty aliens for a living, I think she can handle one little zerg. Also, if we go by game mechanics, Kerrigan is a pretty weak unit in the original Star Craft. (pre- or post-infection) I don't know if she got stronger in SC 2, though.

Post infestation Kerrigan in SC 2 can one shot battlecruisers and walk through the combined fire of between three and three dozen siege tanks (depending on difficulty). According to Blizzard, that is not an exaggeration. There's also that short story/EU novel where she kills someone halfway across the planet with her mind.

So long as Samus has the plasma beam, I don't think that normal Zerg getting in the way would matter much anyway.

And it sounds like SC 1 Kerrigan would get stomped and I really don't have enough info about SC 2 since I never finished SC 2's campaign.

Sub-Zero vs. Cirno. Two kinds of Ice Person, but who is the strongest?

edited 2nd Aug '12 8:17:34 AM by wikkit

Sub-zero.

Noel Vermillion vs. Freddi Fish.

Alex Mercer vs a group of Space Marines

edited 11th Aug '12 1:51:52 AM by AnOtherT

Alex Mercer survived a nuke. Is there really any way to kill him?

Heller did.

I think some of that burning ammo they use on Tyranids would do some damage to Mercer/Heller. Don't they also have ultra-hot flamethrowers?

@Sub-Zero vs Cirno: From what I've read of Touhou, almost any character in that verse can solo MK's verse. So Cirno.

Geralt of Rivia vs. Kenshi.

Because I feel like pitting two excellent swordsmen with extra secondary powers.

Heller was also BLACKLIGHT'd. Also, do you really think that Space Marines would use incendiary ammo on non-Tyranids?

I think the Marines would eventually end up dead, unless they had a Librarian with them. Hell Mercer/Blacklight is grounds for the Inquisition to declare Exterminatus anyway and Mercer might live through that but have survive on a charred rock.

Samus could beat Kerrigan if her suit allowed her to resist or at least detect and dodge psychic attacks. (dark visor maybe? Even then, that's could, not would but Kerrigan has been injured by a lone soldier. I imagine she would have a real headache with the diffusion missiles or sonic boom) Without some sort of mental defense Kerrigan would win handily.

Lance with his team from any Pokemon Generation vs Lee Fang and Jan Lee(as a tag team) from Dead Or Alive Dimensions

Okay here's one for Battles where Love can make you do REALLY stupid things.

Litchi Faye-Ling vs Yukari Takeba

Situation:

• Both are in a place where Persona users can summon Persona (doesn't matter about Dark Hour or Abyss of Time).
• Yukari has Isis, not Io. Litchi has the power of the Boundary... or whatever is shaping her up in a fighting state as she's seen in the game.
• They're taken in this timeline: Litchi at near the end of Continuum Shift. Yukari before The Answer.
• They are being told that what they desire can be obtained if they win against the other: For Litchi, the surefire cure for Lotte. For Yukari, chance to snatch the Main character out of the fate without repeating the fight with Nyx. Bottom line, they can be together again with their loved ones if they win, no repercussions, no flaws!

So who wins?

edited 3rd Sep '12 7:11:22 PM by ChrisX

Depends. Is Litchi drawing power from the boundary? If not I would have to say Yukari. If Litchi is. Then Litchi.

Obviously yes. The reason why I had Yukari use a Persona is because without it, things would be VERY unfair. So yeah, Imma putting that tidbits.

So does that mean Litchi also won in persistence/obsession with Lotte compared with Yukari's persistence/obsession with P3 MC?

edited 3rd Sep '12 7:13:00 PM by ChrisX

Ugh. Please Chris. Keep your Litchi thing in the Blaz Blue thread where it belongs.

That said. Litchi would most likely win. Not because of her obsession. She is much faster and better trained. It should be noted that most Blaz Blue characters are extremely strong compared to other games. Terumi for example is capable of moving at around 2% the speed of Light. Ragna is capable of destroying whole city blocks at a time. Litchi can apparently put up a fight against these people so she wins.

It just sounds like you're not taking accounts that Persona characters (regardless which numbers) are no normal 'high school students', or you're just underestimating the power of Persona overall, or you just didn't even bother to know about Persona 3, and the kind of threats they face.

Also, desperation (okay, worded it wrong. Desperation. Not Obsession) would drive someone to push beyond their limits and do the impossible. If Litchi's desperation would enable her to make a drastic decision of joining NOL, despite unwilling, Yukari has that advantage: Her desperation is enough to make her agree willingly to get back in time and side with the main character and pretty much doom the world from The Fall. With that kind of push and probably higher consequence due to desperation, she could really turn the tables if faced against someone as Litchi.

Not that I'm talking Litchi down, but as it stands, she's amongst the lower tier of the Blaz Blue cast in terms of power. Maybe Yukari would be down so much faster if her opponent is someone like Rachel, Hakumen, or any Six Heroes. But against Litchi...? I think she stands a fairer chance.

I'll not touch fandom reaction again, though this matchup has that kind of theme. Yukari also caused a shitstorm amongst P3 fandom... Well? Though I think you shouldn't bother if you didn't know Persona 3, it's... kind of biased.

edited 4th Sep '12 3:41:50 AM by ChrisX

Terumi can do what? :o

As for the fight, it's a matter of Litchi would be able to get up close. If yes, Yukari stands no chance. If no, however, she may chip at her with arrows and wind magic which will even the fight out. If I had to choose though, I'd say Litchi takes it.

For a change of pace, Miles Edgworth vs. Relius Clover in a game of chess.

Depends if Relius is allowed to touch Edgeworth on the head, in which he'd start fucking up his head that his moves became so predictable.
