Rei Suzumura vs Storm (U.A. Sports Festival Final Event, but it's an 8-A tournament: Round 7) (0-0-5)

[koopa3144]

Welcome to Round 7 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.

From what I can see, Storm has a slight AP advantage with her lightning and a considerable one in LS and range. Her main thing is flying and shooting lightning, from both her hands and the sky. She can also create rapid gusts of wind that have more than enough force to throw Rei out of the bounds

Flying alongside her lightning wouldn't be an issue for Zero due of Makai Knights in general are very absurd in agility, like at one moment he fought Garo sliding in a skyscraper like they are skateboarding in there, there are more but that's one of the major one I can remember, the only thing that might hamper his agility is the gust winds but outside of that once Zero close in she's in big trouble, considering Makai Knights soulhax

Well, against agile enemies, Storm uses her gusts of wind like she did against Toad. She can also attack from multiple directions with her cloud-to-ground lightning and from her hands, and she can also summon water to flood and electrify the arena. Could the soul hax kill her or can it be used to incapacitate?

From the looks of it, her lightning and flying isnt anything he couldnt handle, Makai Knights can also fly and fight mid air, along with being acrobatic and good h2h. Rei does have two wires on his armor which he can use to restrain her and throw her out the arena. Her wind powers are gonna be a problem due to the LS gap, though i am unsure if soul metal's density hax would help.

mostly used for attacking the soul, only the weapons really kill but he'll avoid using it since he cant kill

Storm is also somewhat skilled in h2h along with far more LS to restrain him and senses that herald her from incoming attacks, however he most likely has the edge in close combat so she'll have to keep her distance

Rei does have two wires on his armor which he can use to restrain her and throw her out the arena.

I don't think the wires will be that much of a problem considering the LS gap and she could still fly or use them as conduits for her lightning

Her wind powers are gonna be a problem due to the LS gap, though i am unsure if soul metal's density hax would help.

Unless he can increase his LS or weight to Class M, I don't think it'll be of much help. Considering the distance and their ranges, I guess Storm will be the first to attack with her lightning, and upon noticing that her opponent is extremely agile, she would resort to her gusts of wind to sent him flying

mostly used for attacking the soul, only the weapons really kill but he'll avoid using it since he cant kill

So any attack he uses affects the soul without killing her?

Soul Metal isnt based on physical strength, its more mental strength so LS shouldnt matter with it. He can release shockwaves with his swords so he could push her out that way.

yes

 

[koopa3144]

Bump!

 

[RoTt35]

At a distance, I think Storm would have the advantage and could use her powers like overwhelm him with lightning or mainly use her gusts of wind. If the fight escalates to close combat, Rei would ultimately win due to his soul hax, although Storm could keep up for a few time with her h2h and senses, and even use herself as a conduit of lightning if he's very close, trying to lengthen the distance again

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

I recall that Zero has fight this type of opponents before (ranged and flying advantage) in his series but it's been a while so I want to know if Minaaa can correct me on this one

Zero doesnt do it much mainly but they usually tend to dodge until they can get close or deflect with their swords

Okay good to know

Also we also didn't take the account of 99.9 seconds time limit, because when Rei entered in his Zero armor, that's when things goes really south because with that time limit on them, most of Makai Knights goes all out with their fight style, that would be a problem for Storm as her only way to be able to defend herself is the gust of winds she has

 

[Shadowslash125]

Ok so what are the wincons for both sides?
I do know Rei has 99.9 seconds to deal with this shit before he loses control.

 

[RoTt35]

Ok so what are the wincons for both sides?

For Storm, her main wincon is her gusts of wind with far more LS, which she uses against agile opponents like Rei that would send him flying out of the bounds

 

[Minaaaa]

He could throw his blades at her if she does it, thought this would depend on how long it takes her to pull out her wind attacks before he gets in melee range

 

[Shadowslash125]

Would be voting for incon for this one.
Zero seems skilled enough to handle what Storm throws at him, but if she's able to hold him off for at least 90 seconds, Zero would either have to untransform or risk losing control, which would result in deaths that would end up eliminating him.

Storm's problem is the majority of her useful abilities are restricted by the rules, so her reliance on the wind and maybe some lightning weakens her quite a bit here, especially against an opponent like Zero.

Would need more args to tip the incon scale tho.

 

[Shadowslash125]

Wait, doesn't Zero have a summon as well? Also blazing arnament?

 

[Minaaaa]

Yes, his horse Ginga and BA is really only used as a last resort against stronger opponents and would kill her due to its hax

 

[Shadowslash125]

Oof
