In A Fight Between the Star Fox Team and Jigglypuff, the Star Fox Team Would Most Likely Win

Values of Each ContentionSince my opponent did not address this statement, I will assume that my opponent agrees that the contentions should be valued in this order:1. Statistically Higher Ranking2. Strategic Ability3. Firepower4. Diversity5. Location6. Move Power? . Type Advantage I will therefore argue these contentions in order of importance.1. Statistically Higher RankingIn a fight that has already taken place between members of the Star Fox team and Jigglypuffs, the Star Fox has experimentally proven as better fighters. In Round 2, I displayed the most recent Super Smash Bros. Brawl tier list, which showed that members of the Star Fox team consistently rank far above Jigglypuff. My opponent tried to counter this by using the individual match-up chart. Unfortunately, he misread the chart. This match-up list actually leans in favor of the Star Fox team as well. A picture of the match-up is shown below: The numbers on the chart show the advantage the character on the side has against the character on top[1]. As you can see by the chart, both Fox and Falco have a 60 percent advantage over Jigglypuff. Even if you go by my opponent's chart instead of the tier list, the Star Fox team is still proven more likely to win a fight.2. Strategic AbilityIn Round 2, I emphasized the fact that the Star Fox team has a severe advantage over the Jigglypuffs because the team has the ability to strategize. Openly, my opponent ceded that this was true. The only way he argued this point was with a red herring: "It doesn't matter that Jigglypuffs can't strategize, because they can put everyone to sleep. " Here's where that logic is flawed. Given the ability to strategize, as well as the technology they possess, they have the ability to plan ahead and defend themselves from the sleep attack before the fight. So, not only does Con agree that the Star Fox team wins with the strategic advantage, but this strategic advantage also voids any move power advantage the Jigglypuffs had.3. FirepowerMy opponent understands that the Star Fox team has substantially stronger firepower than anything Jigglypuffs can possess. He attempts to refute this with a few interesting claims. First, while there are seventeen weapons in Star Fox's arsenal, he seems to put a lot of his focus on just one: the Demon Launcher. First, he says that a demon launcher would only be provided to one player. This is not necessarily true. This statement would apply only to a battle between individuals, not a team battle, which is not available on Star Fox Assault Versus. Besides, even with just one Demon Launcher, there is enough ammunition to wipe out half the opposing team. The other sixteen weapons (which my opponent has not mentioned) can easily be used to handle the other three. He then says that if the Star Fox team does have the inherent edge, then they would never get the Demon Launchers. This is true, but if the Star Fox team does have the inherent edge like my opponent is willing to suggest, then I win this debate, anyway. Next, Con suggests that the Demon Launcher could be available to everyone because Wolf can receive access to it, too. If I stated that the Demon Launcher was exclusive to the Star Fox team, then I apologize for misspeaking. The Demon Launcher is exclusive to the Star Fox characters in the Star Fox universe. For the same reason Star Fox characters can't have Pokemon moves, Pokemon can't have a demon launcher. Either way, he openly says that will not contest that Jigglypuff does not get Star Fox weapons, so this argument is only a waste of space. Next, he says that a Demon Launcher needs to see it's target in order to fire at it. This implies that the auto-lock feature is visual, when it actually doesn't work that way. There are instances where a weapon will lock on to an enemy behind a wall or likewise, where the missile can be fired, but does no damage. A Demon Missile would not explode on grass, so it's equally as effective as if there was no grass at all. My opponent dropped the argument on Landmasters, though I assume he would say the same thing he said about Arwings: that they aren't immediately afforded to the team. My opponent is under the assumption that this likely fight is totally bound by versus rules. If that was the case, Star Fox would not be fighting Jigglypuffs at all. It is bound by the rules of the most likely situation, story mode and all. The Star Fox team would most likely arrive at this location in their mothership, the Great Fox, and fly out in Arwings, with which they would attack. They would do this because they strategize, which I mentioned earlier. In short, my opponent is assuming that Demon Launchers are the only weapon Star Fox has going for them, and that the fight is totally bound by versus rules. Not only that, but he agreed that Star Fox has stronger firepower, so this contention should take up half as much space as it does.4. DiversityAgain, my opponent addresses this contention with a red herring. "Diversity doesn't matter because Jigglypuffs can make you sleep. " First of all, this is where diversity comes in handy. R. O. B. is a robot, which makes him immune to effects a humanoid brain would experience. In the game, R. O. B. acts as sort of a medic. He uses his skill to "repair" down characters. In the end, diversity is just another advantage that trumps the sleep move. Note: This is not a new argument. R. O. B. has his special abilities, and that is part of the team having diversity as their advantage,5. LocationMy opponent did not explicitly defend this contention last round. I will assume that he included it in the firepower contention and consider it refuted as such.6. Move PowerHere are the moves my opponent has attempted to defend, followed by why they wouldn't be effective against Star Fox. Defense Curl - This move would not give Jigglypuffs any kind of offensive advantage. On top of that, their vulnerability would never be zero, so however long it would take, Star Fox would eventually be able to defeat them. Pound - You know what beats getting tackled by a ten-pound ball of air? A gun. See Firepower. Disable - Disable is a Pokemon move used to disable other Pokemon moves. My opponent has done nothing to prove that disable would work against a weapon. This negates all of what my opponent has relied on through this debate. Sing- My opponent chooses to use the Super Smash Bros. physics to define the accuracy of Sing. If this is the case, then Sing has an extremely low range, and opponents would only stay asleep for a few seconds, rendering Sing nearly useless. Disregarding all of this, we can still look at the diversity contention, where I explained that R. O. B. would be immune to Sing, and would act as a medic to the other members. The few moves that the Jigglypuffs actually have available may be good for Pokemon, but against a real threat, they have nearly no effect. ?. Type AdvantageAs we are relying on the game physics unique to each team, and for the same reason disable has no effect on the Star Fox Team, it is only fair that I withdraw this contention. My Opponent Surrendered the Sources PointIn CX, my opponent surrendered the sources point for an error in R3. I am by no means demanding or even asking for this point, but it is warranted. CONCLUSIONOn top of all these contentions, the fighting skills of Star Fox have already been put to the test against Jigglypuff. Statistically, they won. with this evidence at hand, there is no way to negate the fact that Star Fox has, can, and will defeat Jigglypuff. The resolution stands.
