Iceman vs Deka Red (U.A. Sports Festival Final Event, but it's an 8-A tournament: Round 6) (7-0-0) (grace over)

[koopa3144]

Welcome to Round 6 of the 8-A U.A. Sports Festival Tournament!
​

Spoiler: Rules copied from OG Tourney thread

VS Thread​

• Fights will take place within the Fighting Tournament Ring with a full stadium.
• Speed is equalized.
• Competitors are informed of the rules and that they're in a nationally televised competition.
  • Competitors will act in character with this knowledge (I.E a Competitor that doesn't care about winning and fame, not fighting as hard as they normally would, or a Competitor that would kill the opponent despite knowing the rules).
• The conditions for winning a match are: knocking out the opponent, rendering them unable to move, or getting them to step out of bounds/surrender.
  • Another wincon is if a competitor does something that would get them "disqualified' in-universe, that would also count as a win for the opponent (I.E, if Character A kills Character B, that would count as a win for Character B in a VS Thread)
• Killing the opponent/overbrutalizing them, harming or attacking the audience intentionally or unintentionally, or bringing in outside help, will result in an in-universe disqualification.

Tournament Thread Rules:​

• If a character gets no arguments for around 3-4 days, the opposing competitor will automatically go to the next round.
• If a thread gets no votes or the votes are tied for 3-4 days, I will decide who I think advances based on the arguments given.
  • If a character I submitted is involved, however, I will coin-flip instead to prevent any bias on my part.

Question, is the use of weapons allowed

 

[RoTt35]

Iceman mainly just shoots ice to freeze his enemies, glides for fast movement, and creates ice walls for defense

Question, is the use of weapons allowed

It should I think

Question, is the use of weapons allowed

Yep, as long as the competitor doesn't overbrutalize/fatally harm their opponent with their weaponry in the fight, they can use them as they please.

Deka doesn't resist ice manipulation at all. How does Deka explosion manipulation and BFR work, and how long it would take to work?

Explosions are only with their finishers and they make you explode, BFR works like this. Ban usually fights with a mix of h2h martial arts and gunplay, and is skilled enough to dodge attacks mid air. He may be acrobatic enough to dodge icemans attacks while shooting back at him

Iceman can freeze the bullets mid-air or block them with ice walls. Tbh, I don't think his agility is enough to dodge everything from Iceman as he glides and freezes everything in his path and whatever he's aiming at, plus he could simply freeze the entire arena. The BFR could be a problem, but does he usually do that? And it's allowed under the tournament rules?

Looks stupidly broken. What stops him from just spamming it against all opponents?

He wouldnt be opposed to doing it, especially against a tricky enemy its just not the first thing he does. He can also put him in an illusion

 

[Shadowslash125]

Bump

 

[RoTt35]

If he doesn't start with that, Iceman can freeze him before he uses it

 

[Minaaaa]

true, though his guns can cause explosions sometimes so this could help and disorient iceman, though this depends on if he can avoid getting frozen. Ice walls might not be much of an issue, knowing Ban he literally might just jump over it

 

[RoTt35]

An untransformed Iceman could freeze, extinguish, and clash with Pyro's fire, which is composed of superheated plasma and also causes explosions, so the guns shouldn't be a problem for him

 

[Minaaaa]

A bit different than what ban is doing no? His moreso happens around them

 

[Shadowslash125]

I read through it. Might need a description on what the illusions are, because if this isn't good enough, Iceman might freeze him in his place rather easily or something like that.

EDIT: It feels more like sleep manipulation tho so I guess it's valid. If he can pull that off first thing, he has my vote. Otherwise, it'd be Iceman's.

 

[Sooshirohl]

admittedly don't really know anything about either character so someone can correct me if i'm wrong but glancing through both profiles and reading the other comments i feel like iceman should have the general advantage here. he should be able to match deka's mobility and the freezing is probably gonna screw him over considering he doesn't seem to have any resistance to ice manip, especially with how cold iceman's is to the point where it can straight up paralyze people. deka does seem to have an AP advantage but iceman also has a massive LS advantage, so i honestly kinda just feel like he could pull a todoroki and just freeze the entire arena to incap deka before he can use stuff like his BFR (i'm also not really sure how BFR would be handled in a tournament scenario, i guess it'd technically be a ringout?)

i think iceman should take this more often than not but i'd be willing to hear counterargs

Gonna count this as a vote for iceman to get things rolling.
