Ultimate Team War - RMS Titanic

Thank you, Chrysippus, for your response. Now, on with the fight! Firstly, my opponent wishes to use Master Khan's "magic shield" to protect his entire team. I see a number of problems with this. One, there's no reason to believe that this shield can stop the Mystic Box attack. A shield, even if magical, might only be able to counter physical blows. It would have to be an anti-magic shield for the desired effect. Further, such a shield won't even truly work on the Mystic Box, as it is meant to bypass defenses through direct teleportation. The box never makes contact with the shield at all. Finally, I have good reason to believe that Master Khan can't even cast this shield in the first place, given that "Khan's powers waxes and wanes, based on the worship - including blood sacrifice - of the K'un-Lun people" [1]. This is 1912, and in this universe, the K'un-Lun people don't even exist. There's no reason to believe that the K'un-Lun people are performing any sacrifice at all at this time. My opponent also believes that the Dark Magician may have a tough time actually finding and striking Harold. However, there are two reasons for why he could do this: 1. We've told each other our starting locations, so he can just use that information. 2. The Dark Magician has struck foes without knowing their exact location before. Just look at the provided video (8:22 - 9:17). The Dark Magician couldn't see Jirai Gumo, but skewered him all the same. http://www.youtube.com... Now, in both situations, we have the Dark Magician taking on the whole of my opponent's team. Despite the fact that the Dark Magician is truly a spirit, he does have a physical body, so he could potentially be hit by bullets. However, he doesn't intend for that to happen, due to "Afterworld Warp," which will reflect your attacks on the Dark Magician back onto your team. Good luck surviving your own rain of fire. After they've all stunned by their own attacks, the Dark Magician can then let loose his Thousand Magic Blasts, destroying them even further. At this point, even if we grant that Harold survived the Mystic Box, he won't survive these. My opponent claims that Hellboy may have magical resistance. However, nothing in any source I've seen states anything like this at all; my opponent is merely inferencing. However, as neither of his wiki pages even mentions any magical resistance, I think it's nothing but an inference. Magical resistance isn't exactly a hidden ability. If Hellboy tries to get close enough to the Dark Magician to use his Right Hand of Doom (as if he'd survive the Thousand Magic Blasts and still be conscious), he'd be hit with a direct Dark Magic Attack. Meanwhile, the rest of my team is jumping out the window. My opponent claims that Deadshot can snipe them, but I see problems with this. He's on the extreme stern of Deck B. My team is exiting through a window on the bow of Deck D. Deadshot would have to literally snipe through the ship, and last I checked, he doesn't have the ability to see through steel. Even if he got to the bow of Deck B, he'd have to lean over and fire his weapon at an extremely awkward angle to hit, and I doubt he'd even be able to see a few shadows at two in the morning against the sea. He'd probably be too late, anyway, as this entire operation should last no longer than fifteen seconds, and Deadshot has the Dark Magician to worry about. He has no chance to interfere with my plan, resulting in Paint Kirby and Gyarados on the seas and Link and Cloud in the sky, too far away to be distinguished among all of the other clouds in the sky, and especially impossible to hit if Cloud kept in constant motion. Now, Gyarados looks up and sees Deadshot panting as he leans over the bow of the Titanic, trying to get a clear shot. He then lets loose one giant Hyper Beam [2]. Deadshot stands no chance. If Deadshot does manage to open fire and repeatedly strike Gyarados, significantly wounding him, Link can fire a bomb arrow at Deadshot, killing him. But I doubt Gyarados will have any problems. At this point, the Dark Magician has probably fallen, but not before killing Hellboy, greatly injuring Deadshot, and spearing Harold. As Gyarados destroyed Deadshot, this leaves Team CON with only the Doctor and Master Khan. If Master Khan lacks power as I suspect he does, though, even he will have fallen to the Dark Magician. Link can fire a few arrows from the sky to greatly injure the Doctor, while Gyarados unleashes another Hyper Beam at the ship, blasting a hole in the hull that would make the iceberg green with envy, quickening the sinking of the Titanic and hitting the Doctor. He's toast. If he's still alive, Cloud can just hover over him and any other survivors and unleash concentrated lightning on them. Now, regarding Harold, there is absolutely no indication that Harold's imaginative creations can react with anybody else. With my limited memory of reading the book, Harold appears to draw himself his own world. However, nothing ever leaves this world to join Harold. According to one summary [3], "the only things that are real are Harold and the purple crayon." Harold may be able to interact with his drawings in his mind, but nobody else can. Harold may be able to enter the world that he has drawn, but he cannot force Team PRO to join him. In short, Harold's ability to create his own world for himself doesn't seem to be very useful in an Ultimate Team War at all. Now, what if my opponent managed to get the fight to end up with his team on a yacht and Link swimming around underwater? Well, Link will swim around in the water, but Team CON won't be able to find him. With the Zora Armor, Link never has to surface, and Link won't be freezing at all, as he's been knee-deep in snow with no indication of any discomfort. My opponent has no method of forcing Link to surface. The battle would end in a draw. Even if the Dark Magician goes down without much of a fight, as long has Harold has been eliminated either by the Mystic Box or my logical argument against his purple crayon's power, Team CON will fall victim to the Atlantic Ocean, while the rest of Team PRO can survive. With that, I'll leave the rest of the round to Chrysippus. Good luck! 1. http://marvel.com... (Powers) 2. http://www.brawlinthefamily.com... 3. http://www.teachingchildrenphilosophy.org...
