L-M Classic: patsox834 vs. feverish.

From round 3: The point about Bugs's trickster abilities is already refuted at the end of my last post. <"Non-canonical. The attribute being given to Monkey is from a television show. My opponent is trying to mix and match the link he gave with his original canon."> A source is not a canon and the TV show is where I know the character from. Whether you start from the TV show page (http://en.wikipedia.org...) or the novel page (http://en.wikipedia.org...) clicking on the main character takes you to the link I originally provided (http://en.wikipedia.org...). The quote is in any case a paraphrasing of the novel, Sun Wukong is frequently described as irrepressible. http://docs.google.com... <"Yeah, Iron Man's shields are "serious," but Mewtwo's vicious powers are equivalent in "seriousness."> If they are equivalent then they will cancel each other out and Tony will be unharmed and able to shoot. <"With Spawn, especially, I've made it very clear what his powers and abilities are for the purpose of this debate."> So you find a source that specifies a character, choose the powers you want and insist the rest of the source does not apply. This would be like me picking Dracula for his powers and ignoring his weaknesses. -- Patsox's sole argument for Storm's powers being greater than Drac's is that his source describes the weather powers in more detail. <"a long description about Storm's abilities; that's my basis for claiming she has more power than Dracula."> I believe that it is illogical to construe that detail = power. Dracula has so many other important powers that weather is focused on less, whereas weather control is Storm's only real power. As for my own arguments about their weather powers being evenly matched, Patsox claims to have refuted them but I must have missed this. Looking back I see that he conceded over experience and has consistently avoided responding to the 'stress and strain' argument at all. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough with my dismissal of the baseball analogy. The two baseball players are both on a human level with human life-span, so the gap in experience and in talent can't be that large. Storm is a human who developed powers through mutation whereas Dracula is a supernatural being who hasn't been human for a long, long time. <"Sunlight is the cause of high temperatures."> <"if the temperature is increased, then the sunlight has to be, as well"> Sunlight is not the only cause of high temperature. Warm air currents, different rates of heat refraction and humidity can all create increased temperatures without sunlight. Nowhere in my opponent's extensive source does it suggest Storm can control the sun. <"Why is it ridiculous? I don't see why it would be."> Affecting the weather of the whole city (and certainly affecting the sun) would involve asserting control over many more atoms and molecules than simply manufacturing a small cloud from nearby water droplets. -- <"Being the supreme ruler of Hell, every other Lord, including Mammon and Malebolgia, must answer to Satan's will."> Note the qualifier at the start of the sentence. The reason they answer to his will is because of his status as "supreme ruler of hell" not because of any innate ability such as Dracula has. Others who acquire this position are similarly obeyed. <"A crucifix is easy to assemble, and garlic can be found by someone who can teleport (Spawn or Mewtwo.)"> This doesn't answer the question of how they find Drac or approach him with it and in any case they will be otherwise occupied. <"If he's in a sewer while everyone else is battling, then yes, he's removed from the battle."> Incorrect, the sewer is as much part of the city as a building. He can read the minds of my other team members to know what's going on and use his powers to shape the battle. --- <"Below the information I gave in my initial post."> I'm sorry but I still can't find the reference to Mewtwo's winds in your first round. <"If they're in buildings, then they won't be hard to locate."> I don't see what the reasoning behind this is. Surely characters concealed within buildings would be harder to locate than those out in the open. <"Mewtwo has a high intellectual prowess, which its abilities rely heavily on. It'd be able to see what's coming *very* quickly, and then utilize its teleportation."> Intellectual prowess has very little to do with perception and reflexes. --- <"Buckethead's abilities haven't been used all that much, but he is capable of stunning team feverish temporarily"> I'm glad that Buckethead got to make a cameo appearance in that last round but I don't see his sonic blasts working on my fast characters or those in energy-absorbing armour. Plus his blinding shred technique is unlikely to be much use against those with visors or eyes that see through all. --- I believe I have clearly shown why my team would win using several different strategies and that I have successfully refuted Patsox's critique of them, as it would be unfair to make additional arguments in this round I shall not. Thanks again to my opponent, the judges, and the readers. Con.
