Ultimate Team War - Rapture

Thank you, tvellalot, for your response, and for posting your sources for last round. My opponent has split up his arguments into three components, each of which he much win for victory. MAGNETO My opponent is correct in that Mace Windu is very fluent with the power of the Force. However, my source specifically states that the power to attack through a live feed camera is gained through experience with the Force Choke, not the Force Push or the Force in general. This suggests that while proficiency with the Force is required to use certain Force abilities, experience with each individual ability strengthens that ability; using one variant of the Force does not necessarily grant one a more powerful use of another variant. In this way, one would have to practice the Force Choke, and not other variants, to master the Force Choke, and Mace Windu would be incapable of his attack. At the very least, the attack would be slow enough for Magneto to have the chance to destroy the security camera that allowed the attack before any permanent damage can be done, but more on that later. It is true that the Force Grip is a telekinetic ability, but that does not mean that Magneto has no defense. In my source, Magneto's helmet was stated to prevent psionic attacks; telekinesis is a form of psionics [1]. Therefore, Magneto is safe from the Force Grip from the start. Finally, my opponent claims that nobody would know why Magneto is floating in the air, and would therefore be unable to help him. However, Harry, Link, and Mewtwo are rather resourceful and intelligent fellows, and the visible effects of the Force Grip make the identity of the attack fairly obvious. Note that I have before clarified that in Ultimate Team War, all characters are aware of their opponent's powers [2]. Any of them can quickly conclude that Magneto is being attacked by Force Grip, and realize that this only works at a distance through security cameras. An arrow from Link, a Repulso from Harry, or a harsh glare from Mewtwo would destroy the camera, freeing Magneto from the Force Grip. Magneto himself could realize what is happening during the Force Choke, and destroy the camera or ruin its circuitry through magnetism. With these contentions, Magneto, Link, and Harry continue to attack Team TVELL head-on, in a battle that goes uncontestedly in my favor. MEWTWO My opponent questions Mewtwo's reflexes. Mewtwo is a Psychic Pokemon, which indicates a powerful mind, and even has a second spinal cord, which would increase the speed of the neural system, and therefore its reflexes. When Wolf suddenly appears on top of Mewtwo, his first reaction would have to be, "Oh my Arceus, there's something attached to me, I had better disable it before it can harm me." This shouldn't take any longer than two seconds. With Wolf destroyed, Mewtwo proceeds to destroy Rapture, and the rest of Team TVELL in the process. KYOGRE My opponent's source is rather odd for this point. It does agree that wisdom increases the chance of getting good wishes, but it also states that when Wish is used, a random list of wishes is created from a larger list. None of these wishes teleport foes in any way. So, this source actually goes against my opponent, rather than for him, as his wish can no longer achieve his desired goal, and Kyogre is free to wreck havoc by destroying Rapture. My opponent might argue that any wish can be made because we are not restricting ourselves to a video game, as my own source (which comes from the same Wiki as my opponent's page about Jon) about Wish suggests. However, this source mentions nothing about wisdom boosting the chances of the wish succeeding. It also states that the meaning of wishes can be twisted to great extremes. Immortality apparently also includes an unbreakable life sentence; the most extreme example is: PLAYER:"I wish to be a god!" DM: "You are now a god but you suddenly lose your godship" [3] Losing godship doesn't even seem to be part of the wish statement at all; it just happens. In comparison to these twists, adding water to the wish to teleport the mighty Kyogre against its will seems perfectly reasonable. If a Djinn needed a justification, it would be that Kyogre was teleported in by creating a portal that connected the room with a particular point in the ocean. As Kyogre entered the portal, so did the water, and at an extremely rapid speed, quickly flooding the entire room before anyone could even blink and eventually all of Rapture, until the pressure on each side of the portal was equalized, leaving the system in equilibrium. This still obeys the requirement of teleporting Kyogre into the room in a rather simple manner; the method used was just rather destructive and counter-productive. To conclude this point, the only source that supports my opponent's wish also makes it rather clear that deadly side-effects are in order; either no wish occurs or a suicidal wish occurs. In conclusion, any of the three divisions of my team could take down all of Team TVELL, so my opponent must defeat each division individually, a task that seems impossible. Victory for Team MONG is inevitable. Thank you, tvellalot, for this debate, and thank you, readers, for reading this debate. I would like to remind everybody to read Rules 12 and 13 before voting.
