Ok I'm back. I'll address the ***** for giggles.
So why wouldn't BFR work? He can teleport, but if it's only back and forth, he either teleports there, and stays there and it counts as self BFR, or he teleports back and he's screwed because he can't survive in space for long?
BFR won't work for two main reasons.
-Trying to BFR Punkjack into space directly just allows him to teleport to the DGP and back to Earth wherever he wants. Thragg has to do it all over again, which I figure will not only annoy tf out of him, it allows Win to adapt and counterattack it with his own attacks.
-Trying to destroy the planet won't mean shit if there's a giant ass roadblock in his way in the form of Punkjack himself. The way he's kitted out makes him akin to a goalkeeper trying to catch Thragg the football from attempting to destroy the planet. Even then, I figure trying to OHKO the planet isn't something he does frame one into the fight, so something that resembles a fight can happen for a bit. Either that, or Punkjack straightup taunts him into hyperfocusing on himself to buy some time.
There's also the problem that the cynosure facility is a relatively compact space, so both combatants are relatively easy to reach at this moment.
Also forgot to address it's only one way if one teleports to the DGP. It's kinda whatever vice versa, so if Punkjack has to teleport away for any reason, he can just reappear behind Thragg.
Ok and how does that save him from Thragg popping the planet, because that's like his second option.
BFR doesn't require dragging him to space if the battle field itself gets removed from the equation.
And last I checked, this dude very much can not survive under those conditions.
First answer is pretty obvious: Not let it pop, which isn't inherently convincing, but it is a method, especially when it isn't something he does immediately.
Second answer would be that Punkjack does actually have the tools to survive in space longer than normal. Radiation takes a while to be of actual effect, and he can take heat of up to over 1000 degrees celsius. Even the oxygen problem he can handle thanks to his shit that allows him to survive in oxygen-free environments (which includes a vacuum). Having this in tandem with the TP allows him to periodically pop in and out in the event he absolutely has to.
Where does it say instantly? Because reading the profile it very much reads as a reactive power, based on on the user's will, not just a passive instant ability.
Also that isn't even true, the value on profile is 4 billion c, which is like mid comic Mark level (who Thragg blitzes), where tf are you getting trillions? As it stands, he starts of billions of times slower than Thragg.
RE is actually only applicable in handling abilities for Spark Users, because the desire amp thing is based on empowerment rather than straight up RE (hence why the tier section says 'desire empowerment' rather than RE). It's based on the person's desire and will, not just the latter. The Desire Grand Prix picks up characters who have big ass desire and will, since it's basically a death game with monsters where the participants have to put their wishes and lives on the line just for the chance to have their ideal world granted, though those like the DGP staff also have this amount of desire & will. Hence, everyone and their mothers that even have the basic usage of spark can instantly equalise with their opponents, unless said character is like the laziest ass of all time.
Also, all I see in the profile is just Thragg upscaling 1 billion c, and even if he is actually 4 billion c, Punkjack's max speed ceiling is just a few numbers short of 5 million c, which kinda outspeeds him anyway (in theory, but in actuality he'd just be the same speed). Berries got the 5 trillion value from
the original Massively FTL+ feat done by Kamen Rider Woz, which every Geats Rider's speed ceiling is at for now (Can't say the value is right or wrong, but the lower value is used just to be safe I guess). Keep in mind that this is just his base, if he ever gets a Fever match with any buckle he's already using, he's getting a 3x multiplier to all his stats.
Versatility just forces the option, Thragg is very much one for skipping the bullshit if he has no obligation to fight fairly like with Beast. The more of a pain his opp is, the more likely he takes a nuclear route so he doesn't need to deal with them to begin with. Bro would legit ong have a better chance if he fought only with CQC because at least then Thragg would prob stick to boxing himself if only to prove a point.
To be fair, Punkjack does favour using Monster out of all the buckles (and even has an affinity with said form), so Thragg will have to throw hands at first. I can also see Win goading and taunting him to fight mano-a-mano. It's only when Thragg decides not to play fair and start trying to ruin the fun, then he'll go for different options, which he can pop it out faster than you think.
By the by, the Beat Buckle is a part of the standard equipment, so in the event he goes for that, Thragg is kinda screwed because not only will his planet-busting days be thwarted in the most humiliating way possible thanks to being forced to dance via broadway force, it's also potentially a big hit to him due to his weakness of sound, especially the high frequency sound wave types.
