Ultimate Team War - Gateway Planet 2

I will now refute my opponent's strategies: 1. Hit 'em fast and hard. If Charizard were to get right next to Bowser as Bowser is inhaling, Charizard's head would end up in Bowser's mouth. Bowser would then bite down hard, snapping Charizard's neck and killing Charizard. Bowser also has the ability to double his own weight with his Body Slam. Therefore, after almost escaping Gateway Planet's gravitational pull, he would send both Charizard and Bowser slamming into the ground, with Bowser crushing Charizard underneath the weight of two Koopa Kings, crushing and killing him. Now, even if Charizard were to get in a position to toss Bowser into the air, he would still have to throw Bowser. Now, gripping something and flying with it is one story, but tossing that same thing even higher is another. Charizard probably wouldn't be able to do it. Additionally, before Bowser moved an inch, he would Body Slam his way back to Gateway Planet, destroying whoever happened to be below him. If none of the above work, then after Bowser would be eliminated, Mario and Luigi would use a Retry Clock, allowing them to try the entire fight all over again, but instead of inhaling, Bowser would punch Charizard's lights out. Now, Sakura and Peach would not be lifted at all, as Bowser's mouth would be plugged by Charizard's head. If Sakura ever smashes the ground to rip apart the ground around Mario and Luigi, the twins would jump, avoiding the blow completely. They would then get out a Snack Basket, and Luigi would counter with his own ground-shaking attack, eliminating both Peach and Sakura. Bowser would come out of the air, as well, and follow up with a powerful punch. Also note that both Mario and Luigi use a Big Shell, so the first three actual attacks against them would do nothing, and the A-OK Wear prevents stunning. Thanks to the Gumption Socks, Mario and Luigi would have to be eliminated at roughly the same time. Any attempt to close in on Mario and Luigi would be met with a hammer. If Charizard were to ever attack with flames, Mario and Luigi would run and dodge, assuming that Charizard actually survived being bitten in the neck and crushed. 2. Operation Shield Charizard may be large enough to avoid Bowser's inhalation, although his head is not, so if Charizard gets too close to Bowser, his head is doomed. If Peach and Sakura ever get in one pipe, Bowser would eat the second pipe, landing Peach and Sakura inside Bowser, making them useless for battle. If they ever come back out, they would be attacked by perfectly poised hammers. Peach, being more cartoonish, would be midgetized, like Mario when hit by Luigi's hammer. Sakura, however, would end up with a broken skull. Mario and Luigi could still avoid Sakura with running and hammers, and then finish her off along with Peach with a Mighty Meteor. I have already outlined how drilling would spare them from Peach's rage. Bowser is not damaged at all by Charizard's flames, even being powered up by them. Bowser's well-timed counter punch and ducking would prevent Charizard from ever landing a hit, as Skull Bash can't get through Bowser's punch, and Steel Wing can be ducked. If Charizard ever pauses for Sakura to heal him, Bowser would just eat both Peach and Sakura, easy. Bowser does not wear out from fighting, because Charizard cannot land a single hit; besides, thanks to his Intruder Fangs, Bowser can heal himself with Drumsticks without pausing in his assault, so Charizard would be destroyed, and Sakura and Peach unconscious and eaten. Apparent flaws in my plan: 1a. Bowser has been proven to be able to inhale Warp Pipes, evidenced by the collection of Warp Pipes that ended up in Bowser's Pipe Yard. 1b. Bowser would still be available to fight Charizard after eating Peach and Sakura, because he only has to eliminate himself at the end. After absorbing one Fire attack meant for Mario and Luigi, Bowser would be able to launch himself at Charizard as a spike ball for a tussle in the air, eventually knocking Charizard out of the air. If Charizard tries to snipe Mario and Luigi from a distance, they can drill to avoid it, forcing Charizard to come to the ground for direct attacks, exposing him to Mighty Meteor. Mighty Meteor is incredibly fast, launching itself with perfect accuracy at the enemy within a second after contact with a hammer. Remember, Mario and Luigi have Excellent!! timing, which means that they don't fail and their attacks. At Rainbow Rank, they're very proficient with their attacks. Aerial acrobatics can't dodge something as quick and large as a Rock-based Mighty Meteor. 2m. Mario may risk his life for Peach sometimes, but that doesn't mean he won't attack her when necessary. There's nothing to indicate an actual refusal to harm Peach during fights in which they are pitted against each other. He's perfectly willing to throw Green Shells at Peach during Mario Kart, knocking her off cliffs, and he's perfectly willing to Smash Peach off the stage in SSB. 2l. Peach is hardly benevolent if she's going into a fit of rage against Luigi. Also, see above. 2b. Bowser once decided to imprison Peach in a stain-glass window in Super Mario 64. He also sent his minions to defeat her in Super Princess Peach. He's perfectly willing to knock her unconscious, just not kill her. If Bowser ever goes into Fury, he's likely to be willing to attack anybody, including Princess Peach. Also, see above. 2ssb. In the story mode, it is apparent that Mario cares about Peach (he tries to bash in Link's brains over her, not nearly as cool as Link trying to spear Mario's head over Zelda). However, in the Stadium, even if you use Peach, Mario will still attack her. Although this canon may be different from mine, it is our most reliable information on the subject. Nobody hesitated in SSB or Mario Kart over anything. I would also like to point out that Peach would be unable to attack Mario and Luigi, and would not permit Sakura to attack Mario and Luigi, unless Mario and Luigi are capable of attacking Peach. 3. Okay, I will not use Magic Mirrors. Point taken. Instead, Mario and Luigi will use Yoo Hoo Cannons. In conclusion: My opponent's only two plans to take down Bowser involve throwing him away (impossible, as explained) and having Charizard fight him to the death (which Bowser would win, given his Drumsticks, ability to attack twice at once, and ability to counter all of Charizard's attacks). Mario and Luigi would be able to dodge anything by jumping, drilling, running around, and countering with hammers. Bowser would be able to eat Sakura and Peach, knocking them unconscious (an idea not actually refuted by my opponent), and even Charizard's head if he were foolish enough to get close enough to allow that to happen. Given past examples, Bowser is definitely willing to attack Peach, and Mario and Luigi probably are, as well.
