Ultimate Team Battle: Empty Earth

POINTS CLOUD versus FENIX I’m not sure how familiar my opponent is with Cloud or the Final Fantasy VII game, but he is massively underestimating Cloud’s ability to fight an armoured suit. The game is set in a futuristic world. Many of the bosses (including the Ruby and Emerald Weapons [1], [2]) in Final Fantasy VII are giant robots. We have to make some presumptions and Cloud damaging the suit enough that Yoda can make the final strike is a safe one. HULK versus Psionic Attacks I specifically chose the Hulk because of the advantage he has against Psychic and Mental attacks. One minute you’re telling me not to make presumptions and the next you’re blatantly ignoring evidence (source 1, round 4) about the Hulk. Your psionic blasts would affect him yes, but if he just appeared right in the centre of your group filled with murderous rage he is hardly going to be instantly incapacitated. Also, the Hulk is HIGHLY resistant to almost all forms of attack that have been used against him. To assume that because you’re characters are big shots in Star Craft that they will be able to instantly destroy a highly enraged Hulk is fail. CAPTAIN AMERICA versus Kerrigan Right, so Captain America can’t hurt Kerrigan. He smashes her in the throat with his indestructible shield while she is completely incapacitated and she is unhurt. I’ll add that Captain America can bench press 1100 pounds [3], so it’s quite a hard smash. “And no, Zerg Carapaces (in fact, that's why they're called carapace and not skin. ) are as strong as steel, especially Kerrigan's. ” Try as I might I can’t find any resource that says this… This is what Blizzard says: “The zerg as a whole are extremely tough, tenacious, and deadly. Their natural armor and weaponry is comparable to modern technology [surely a future context. .. ] in terms of toughness and armor-piercing capabilities. ” I think it will have to be left up to the judges (who are going to leave lovely long RFD’s…) about this one. REBUTTALS “Luke > Anakin > Mace Windu > Palpatine > Yoda” Ummm, no. Have you seen the movies? Luke turned Anakin back to the light side. If he hadn’t, he would have been killed. Anakin killed Mace Windu while he was blocking Palpatine’s lightning. One on one, the fight would have been much different. Would you argue that Obi Wan, who beat Anakin was stronger than Mace Windu? Finally, Yoda and Palpatine was a draw. However, if Yoda had been the Sith and Palpatine was the Jedi, it would have been a very different fight. The circumstance and character of the above fighters were all very important to the fights mentioned. In other words, your formula fails and I stand by the fact that Yodi, while completely loyal to my commands would be stronger. Regardless, Yoda never fights Luke, so it’s an irrelative point. ----------------------------------------------- “You underestimate Kerrigan's power. Kerrigan is a psion whose power is one of the greatest in the entire Starcraft universe. You could probably compare her as several 'Professor X's. ” Right… so she is massively overpowered compared to a modest choice like Captain America? Yeah, I got that. .. . .. which is exactly why I chose the Hulk, who is highly resistant to psychic attacks and Irenicus, because despite her massive power, she has no immunity to magic. ---------------------------------------------- “Irenicus's powers such as invincibility and the Power Word: Kill would violate rule #3, since it essentially makes him wipe out anything all the while without taking any damage. ” Yes, well I had to choose someone incredibly strong to counter-act having modest choices for my first three characters. A few of your characters can disintegrate a few of my characters instantly for example. He isn’t completely invincible and the Absolute Immunity spell only lasts four rounds anyway; enough that my original attack would still completely work. “He is not a Flash, and thus he will be killed instantly the moment he arrives. And thus, Master Chief is not killed. ” Let me break this down for you. Yoda enrages Bruce Banner with the same information that lead to World War Hulk [4]. Irenicus teleports Hulk right in the midst of your team. My team appear moments later. How long do you think it would take the Hulk to knock three of your members flying before making a bee line for Master Chief? Bang. Bang. Bang. Three seconds? He is very fast. CONCLUSION My team wins, duh. My opponent's characters are not varied in skill-sets enough to counter attack my attack plan. His rebuttals have basically consisted of "NOOOO, my character can't be hurt like that and you die instantly. " VOTE Pro. SOURCES [1] . http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net...
