Battle of scrunkly animals - Raccoon vs Mongoose (7-0-0)

will sue you for animal cruelty lmao

Yeah, if that's indexed in the Raccoon profile, no reason for the match to exist ig
Tbh I haven't noticed it at first, and after seeing it I decided to make them same size, since in scans for a raccoon it mostly encountered smaller opossums, so it's kinda easier for them to ignore. Idk how much equal size and speed would change the outcome

i really think it wouldn't change that much
Like, if typically Raccoons> Opossums, making things "fairer" would just make the Raccoon have a harder time but usually win too, no?
 
Also Opossum might have higher LS, since they often carry their babies on their back

 
we don't know enough to be sure and the statement is pretty clear, so changing into other animal is way easier

imagine "superior to possums [...] Losses: Possum"
Might change Opossum to Mongoose, if this match falls into stomp category and not just "obvious high diff winner"
 
I don't think we should only rely on statements found in real world profiles. They are, sometimes, really inaccurate. This time, however, it's accurate, as raccoons have murdered opossums on multiple occasions, not just the one on the profile, like this one.
 
Ok, changing opossum to mongoose and probably unequlize their speed
 
Idk should I equalized their weight or not, since mongoose already outspeeds raccoon
 
You can't equalize anything other than speed
I mean, their weight is variable and they might end up on the same weight category. Can I just adjust their weight from their already existing spectrum (like, mongoose weight varies from 0,32-5 kg and raccoons is 5-12 kg, and I just make sure they are both 5 kg)?
 
Idk should I equalized their weight or not
Below Average Human (A raccoon was observed wrestling a gray fox. Gray foxes typically weigh 3.6 to 7 kg. Easily dragged an iguana away. A raccoon dragged off a 28-lb bag of pet food, although the kibble on top of the bag might be an indicator that it was opened. Raccoons weighing 6.5 to 8 kg were shown to be capable of lifting up to 10.9 kg)
[...]Despite this, the mongoose is a small creature, with the 29 species ranging in weight from 320 grams to 5 kg.
You should be worried for the Mongoose lmao

but if it ouspeeds, i think it could take it, because having techniques to face snakes should be enough to deal with a Raccoon, imo
 
Actually, count me in with the Raccoon after seeing no response for the Disease Manip
 
SBA means both animals are at their heaviest typical weights.

Technically most people in previous matches here didn't bat an eye when you specify weight is equal, but if anyone wants to contest this, I could bring that discussion to staff.

Judging by weight-LS distribution and size:

Raccoon is bulkier

Mongoose is smaller but faster and more skilled

Surprisingly fair match; with current conditions; raccoon. It's bulk can tank most swift hits from the Mongoose long enough for the latter to tire. Raccoon FRA

Glad to see you here, I also have few questions regarding The Real World tiering
