I really hope it's not a stomp, because I love making some creepypasta matches (I'm abusing the heck out of my fear resistance) and because of how thematical this is. Also I just want to test my limits of weapon/prep time skillslop

Here are the rules:
  • Speed is not equalized
  • AppleMaker have a Spear (Knife + Metal Pipe), Zippo Lighter and Firecrackers
  • AppleMaker have 9-C durability (high end)
  • Starting distance is 35 meters
  • Battle takes place in the hallway of some random mental asylum

The concept of sleep (incon):

Leaning towards Sleepless Russian for now, since it have chance of enduring firecracker with its endurance and stamina.
 
Honestly, I think the Russian takes this, since it's game over if he gets too close. No prep time, makes firecrackers and such practically useless. Nor do they even feel any pain or fear, so they will likely just charge, ignoring any injuries.

(I also doubt Apple is goood enough with a spear or a knife to negate the advantages of the Experiments. So yeah, Voting Russians.

The point of firecrackers is to throw them and blow up their organs or head. Vote counted though

There is far more than 1 type of firecracker, but the point is that they will need to have their fuse lit, aimed at it, and timed to explode on impact or near impact.... Not to mention the accuracy of a firecracker....

Pretty sure some of my firecrackers could easily reach 9-C due to some of them have been known for breaking bones and blowing off hands. They should be in the range of 300-375 joules
 
Where in my statement was there anything regarding AP?
Basically - with such AP and range, aim could become less of a factor, since it's still could slow down the subject by crippling it. Also exposed organs are kind of a big target

Fire crackers don't explode at will, nor at impact, you will need to time it correctly and hope, even if you were to have a perfect aim, that the fire cracker actually goes straight or in an arch, for the target.... (I find it very unlikely you are skilled enough to do this....)

Also, regarding AP and Range, explosions and fire crackers AP, become exponentially weaker the further they are from the origin point of explosion, so yeah, this, together with the point mentioned above, is more than enough to make the firecrackers not a reliable wincon.

The best option would be for Apple to treat the Russian like a zombie (albeit a sentient, sapient and very, VERY physically capable one) and try going for the head or neck with the spear and MAYBE use the firecrackers as miniature landmines since he may not be able to hit them consistently and accurately and precisely if he tried aiming for them directly (though he risks hurting himself in the process if he is also in proximity to the firecrackers), but other than that, he might be screwed.

Tier: Apple
Attack Potency: Apple
Speed: Tie/Draw (though very likely the Russian can maintain it for much longer)
Lifting Strength: Russian
Striking Strength: Tie/Draw (only because of the spear)
Durability: Tie/Draw (but Russian's durability and immunity to pain are much more consistent, his body has gone past normal human limits to physical ability)
Stamina: Russian
Range: Apple
Intelligence: Apple

I will only vote Apple winning/Russian losing cause Apple should be able to at least throw the firecrackers on the ground and possibly blow limbs off to slow the Russian before the Russian can reach Apple (35 metres is quite far), and then finish the Russian off with the spear, but beyond that, if that tactic and strategy fails, he's very much screwed if the Russian can reach melee range and close the distance to the point Apple cannot properly use his spear.

Where is your classic "I vote X winning/Y losing"? (Don't get me wrong, you can write as you want, but now I'm confused. Did you vote for me or incon?)

My bad, I edited it.
