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

This has been tremendously fun, and I hope my opponent has enjoyed it as well. With that out of the way, I will begin my final rebuttals. I won't contest my opponent's value listings. Why? Because it really isn't that important since Jigglypuff owns in all of them. To begin, my opponent is only partially correct when he asserts that I misread that data table. I did in fact overestimate Jigglypuff's chances of beating Falco by 5% - that is, it is a 50/50 split as opposed to 55/45. However, I am absolutely correct in stating there is not given edge to either in a Fox-Jigglypuff fight. Now, you may be thinking, "How is this so? My opponent's table clearly shows that Falco and Fox have the edge. " However, his picture does not read the table correctly. The instructions clearly state to "choose a character from the left side". In my opponent's picture he is clearly looking at it from the right side. If you look at it from the left side, you get this: When you correctly read the table, you get a 50/50 for Jigglypuff and no stats for Fox. If you need any more proof, these are the stats on Jigglypuff's Smash wiki page. [1] You can easily compare those with the big table, and they line up identically. .. so with this data doubly confirmed it should be obvious my opponent has no edge here. Per this debate's resolution ("In A Fight Between the Star Fox Team and Jigglypuff, the Star Fox Team Would Most Likely Win"), my opponent needs to prove the Star Fox team would most likely win to be awarded the victory. However, in his most important metric - statistical rankings - Star Fox team has no edge at all. With my opponent's second contention, Strategy, he asserts Star Fox team could easily plan a strategy to defend against the sleep attack. How can they do this? He never says. I have already clearly established that anything that hears Jigglypuff's song will fall asleep, and it is impossible not to fall asleep once you hear it. [2] You can plan all you want, but there is literally nothing you can do to stop it, especially under the confines of the Star Fox Assault Versus mode rules - as I elaborated in the previous round. To the third contention, weaponry, my opponent resorts to a confusing strategy. I did indeed focus mostly on the Demon Launcher, because it was literally the only handheld weapon outside of radar that he explicitly noted in his first round of debate. If my opponent's other weapons are so important, he would have noted how and why, but instead he put all of his eggs in the Demon Launcher basket. The problems I noted in round 3 were not disproved, but instead contradicted. My opponent's primary reasoning is that, if they lost their advantage, all members of Star Fox team would be awarded a Demon Launcher. As I established in round 3, however, there is no team mode in Star Fox Assault Versus mode, with each of four possible players fighting for themselves (their own de facto team). Only one Demon Launcher can be awarded per player, meaning one per de facto team By extrapolating the rules to allow for de jure teams (namely, Star Fox team and Jigglypuff team), it seems far more likely that only a single Demon Launcher would be awarded to a team rather than six Demon Launchers because the point of the weapon is not to reward losers and let them annihilate the other team, but to give losers a fighting chance. Other Nintendo games have this trend - for example, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl a pity Final Smash is given to a player who is very far behind. It isn't awarded to the whole team, just the player. [3] Because I have proven the Jigglypuff team is superior and have no need for Demon Launchers, it makes sense Star Fox team would be given one. Although my opponent also questioned my arguments on the usefulness of the auto-lock feature, but never actually gave any evidence to prove it can effectively target enemies blind in a field of tall grass where you might not be able to tell who is friendly and who is not. Also, if we are saying this is under the rules of Star Fox Assault Versus mode, it needs to follow the rules of that battle format. Giving Star Fox team an immediate advantage by letting them grab Arwings may sound nice, but it doesn't fit with the battle format that this hypothetical battle would be made on. Since it just doesn't fit the battle format at all, it must be disregarded. On the fifth point, diversity, my opponent argues that R. O. B. , being a robot, is immune to Jigglypuff's song. This is not the case, however, as, according to the Pokemon Emerald Pokedex, "Nothing can avoid falling asleep hearing a Jigglypuff's song". [4] Because all robots are (presumably) made of something, they will fall asleep to the song of Jigglypuff - R. O. B. is no exception, and my opponent's point is utterly negated. Finally, to my opponent's sixth point: Move power. Like in round 3, my opponent treats defensive moves as utterly useless, but that is simply not the case. It is very easy to imagine a scenario where Defense Curl's boosted defense would allow a Jigglypuff to, say, charge directly into enemy fire to get close enough to put the opponent to use Sing. That kills two of my opponent's arguments with one stone! Similarly, he rejects the Disable move because he doesn't think it would work on non-Pokemon. .. well that's mighty convenient! Let's just pick and choose which weapons or moves can damage the other side! I'll leave the voters to decide this one. In conclusion, I have conclusively demonstrated that a team of six Jigglypuffs could easily defeat the Star Fox Team. I have demonstrated the superiority of the Sing attack, as well as given several other moves the Jigglypuff team could use as well. I also noted the inherent advantage the Jigglypuff team would possess under the confines of location (meadow) and battle format (Star Fox Assault Versus mode). This goes far and beyond the resolution, in which simply proving Star Fox team doesn't have an edge would be sufficient, and so I would strongly urge a vote for Con.
