Killua's AP: >>22.13 Tons
Ultimate Aggregor's AP: ~25 Tons

Bakugou's AP: 11 Tons
Qrow Branwen's AP: Seems to be baseline as well (11 Tons. Look, I've looked everywhere, and it just seems they upscale from their High 8-C+ selves)

If I got someone's AP wrong, correct me.
 
Killua is a good competitor too, he is... ridiculously skilled.
Damn wtf.

I've seen HxH but I don't remember that scene at all. Anyways I know he's ridiculously skilled, he may be more skilled than Qrow, but I know from Spinorr that there's a massive scaling chain just based on skill alone, and Qrow's up there. So I'm not sure who's skilled between the two of them, but I do know they do skill stomp their respective partners lol
 
Bakugo could have higher AP with his Condensed Explosions, which is useful since we have to deal as much damage as much as possible, though they are still at a disadvantage, it is still an amp nonetheless.
Bakugo also has a Stat Amp, the longer the fight lasts, the stronger the explosions are. If Aggregor or Killua does not take down Bakugo ASAP, he could be quite troublesome as the battle marches on.

In terms of mobility, Bakugo is obviously great at mobility, thats why i love his quirk so much, he can close any gap with his explosions so if Killua or Aggregor plans on going long ranged, Bakugo's mobility can catch up with the two once you combine that with his condensed explosions which allows him to gain a temporary speed amp which allows Bakugo to maybe pull off trick maneuvers around Killua or Aggregor and hit them in places they wouldn't expect with his explosions.

Bakugo also has decent options in his toolkit, obviously he is a close ranged fighter with his explosions but he could also use his explosions in other says such as his Stun Grenade to stun his opponent, like a Solar Flare, maybe that is useful or maybe its not, im just throwing it out there and of course his ranged options such as his AP Shot and its variations alongside his Grenadier Bracers. If its possible for Bakugo, he can lend his Grenadier Bracer that is full off sweat, allowing Qrow to use that to shoot one strong explosion.

Lastly, Bakugo's Ultimate Move, Howitzer Impact would be one strong move to pull against the two, it could probably injure them heavily if it lands.

Bakugo's Ultimate will likely not do as much damage as you think to Killua at least, as he tanked an explosion twice as strong as Bakugou's normal ones with nothing other than scratches. He also is capable of one shotting 22 ton characters, so Bakugou would have to keep his distance.

Killua is the type of fighter who won't make the first move unless he knows what their opponents are capable of, and Bakugo's not one to care if his opponents knows what his quirk is or not, so Bakugou would immediately show off his quirk in a fight with the seemingly stronger opponent (Aggregor), probably by using his explosions as mobility, like you said.

Given this information, and Killua's cunning capability of measuring how strong an opponent is just by looking at them, his immediate Statistic Amplification with advanced Nen Techniques, and his high experience in assassination, Killua would likely go headfirst against the more impulsive fighter, Bakugo. I'd say Bakugou's response would be to just use an explosion directly at Killua's face, but Killua can just amp his upper half with Nen to tank the explosion and grab one of Bakugou's arm with ease.

Given Killua's Class 100 Lifting Strength, and extensive martial arts, he could strike Bakugou in the neck, thus, knocking him out, or better yet, just use his claws and decapitate him.


TL;DR: I'd say, given Bakugou's impulsiveness revealing his quirk, Killua's ability to tell someone's strength, they'd clash first as Killua would definitely go for it as soon as Bakugou's ability was revealed. In this match up, Bakugou dies, most likely.

Bakugo's Howitzer Impact managed to dust Todoroki's Ice Wall which was pretty big in size. It should be able to do decent amount of damage especially if the fight drags on longer thanks to stat amp.

Yes, Bakugo's mobility and maneuverability with his Explosion Quirk is pretty good, allowing him to be able to roam around the battlefield pretty well. His Condensed Explosions also gives him a speed amp which would be useful to outspeed Killua or Aggregor at certain times and hit them from the back or something. But yeah, Bakugo will show off his quirk since that's all he has to offer anyway.

Grabbing Bakugo's arm wouldn't automatically give him the advantage since he can do some sort of Ex Catapult move but instead of him grabbing someone and throwing them away, it would be trying to shake someone off but I wouldn't guarantee its success since Killua has great LS compared to Bakugo's unknown value. Anyways even if Killua can "tank" the explosion, he could still get knocked back from the explosion itself (For example Bakugo vs Uraraka, Uraraka devised a plan to touch Bakugo once so she could activate her quirk but struggled to get near him because Bakugo's explosions kept knocking her ass away) which is good since we don't want Killua to grab Bakugo here since that LS sure is a piece of shit to deal with.

Bakugo's barrage of explosions that could knock Killua away would make that condition harder to obtain than we had initially thought. Killua might be superior in terms of combat but Bakugo is no slouch with the knowledge he has on his abilities and probably can be considered a genius with his Explosion Quirk since he had used and lived by his quirk Explosion ever since he unlocked it as a kid.

pls qrow, help out bakugo here pls
 
Right off the start Aggregor has AP advantage.
Alright Aggregor has true flight/spaceflight and is able to cross interstellar distances to other galxies with ease
and has no issue with dozens of missiles and lasers from an enormous planetary device shooting right at him.


So when it comes to mobility Aggregor has already made hunderds of galaxy travelling and outskills Bakugo in flight, His intellegence is superior to the crab alien Brainstorm who has IQ of 1 nonillion and was able to defeat him in a battle of intellect, But this is Ultimate Aggreogr when it comes to his powers he has kidnapped and absorbed five aliens across the galaxy which includes NRG, Water Hazard, Terraspin, Ampfibian and Armodrillo each having elemental powers such as Electricity, Radiation etc so using NRG's radiation and his indestructible armor he should be able to tank explosions with ease as the armor was stated to only be cut with the hardest matrial in the galaxy that being a piece of metal called Taydenite therefore Ultimate Aggregor having his powers absorbed massively increases his durability.


Having NRG"s radiation means he will have passive radiation which is the main power of NRG which is extremely dangerous for humans if they get close to him and when Bakugo's limited flight would allow him to get close to Aggregor for explosion, He is not going to show any mercy this guy is an intergalactic murderer and would use his Life/DNA absorbtion to kill Bakugo, here is how it works just by a touch which is what he did against Terraspin's species to gain their powers and it works perfectly fine as well, look.


If Bakugo tries to close distance for a ranged strat, That would be even harder due to Aggregor having Armodrillo Earthquake manip also he stomped 4 people at once using the power of the five aliens and no solid their attacks, His durability is so amped thanks to the aliens he didn't even felt anything.



Assuming Bakugo doesn't have resistance to this therefore Aggregor Outskills, Outsmarts and Out AP's him.

I mean, fair.

See, that's the fun part of being an experienced assassin and having knowledge, if Killua grabs Bakugo, the sheer strength should allow Killua to pin him down, or break his arm, or simply act immediately after. Bakugou is not one to consider his explosions so weak that one could simply walk through it, so he wouldn't expect his arm to be immediately grabbed.

As for knocking Killua away, Bakugou's explosions are not really focused on that if he's only trying to do damage to what appears to be a kid going at him. If Killua is aware of his explosions, he can just focus the right amount of nen on his feet to stop being pushed away, and enough to tank the impact itself, thus, allowing the grabbing to happen.

In fact, Killua's done this before during Greed Island, his dominance over his Nen manipulation had a margin of error of 1%, and he was called a genius by Razor. If Killua sees Bakugou's explosions ONCE, he will know how much Nen he needed to avoid being pushed away. The grabbing is happening unless we have a reason for Bakugou to back down from Killua's head-on strategy.
Bakugo's barrage of explosions that could knock Killua away would make that condition harder to obtain than we had initially thought.
Bakugou wouldn't do a barrage against an albino kid running towards him, he'd do just one to damage him.

After the grabbing is not happening either, because it's Bakugou having to react, think, and counter some occasion he didn't see coming vs Killua going with a plan already on his mind.

Killua will simply outskill him.
pls qrow, help out bakugo here pls
Qrow has to intervene for Bakugou to survive.

Assuming Bakugo doesn't have resistance to this therefore Aggregor Outskills, Outsmarts and Out AP him's.

But given Aggregor's character, given the scenario we've estimated here, what'd be his first course of action.


Summary of the scenario: Bakugo moves first with his explosion mobility, Killua runs against him, tanks his explosion and grabs his arm to kill him.
 
Qrows luck may help them as this qrow can actually use good luck now to help him get a better outcome like when a bomb was about to fall and blow up a city. It stoped the bomb from falling

"In "The Final Word" however, Qrow manages to control his Semblance using the help of Clover's badge and stops a bomb from falling out of a ship. This proves that his Semblance doesn't just amplify Misfortune, but can also decrease it." - rwby wiki on qrows semblance

As this is current qrow, he can now control his semblance to help bakugo and himself out

Can he do that to multiple people? How strong is the luck? The margin of error of Killua's Nen distribution is 1%, but he can easily overflow his feet with Nen and still have enough to take an explosion from Bakugou.

I don't see how Luck would help Bakugou in such a simple scenario given the problem is skill.
 
At the bottom of the skill chain is aura users as a whole. While every living being in RWBY technically has Aura, actually being able to utilize it for things such as defense, regen, and senses requires years of training and a high enough degree of martial skill (and yes you actually need martial skill for it) that only a small percentage of the population of the entire planet ever become skilled enough to utilize their aura. Of that small percentage, an even smaller percentage ever become skilled enough to manifest/control a Semblance (yes semblances are also skill-based). To reach this small percentage comes to the second half of the bottom of the chain: Almost every character worth their salt in RWBY has spent their entire life training in combat and can fight hordes of Grimm with little issue (Almost because Jaune exists). The entirety of the main cast of RWBY was initially enrolled at Beacon Academy, one of the most prestigious combat schools in the world, with almost everyone who was accepted there having been trained for almost their entire life to fight monsters, and each one that was not professionally trained requiring a skill display overseen by Ozpin, who has the composite skill of several thousand professional huntsmen that he accumulated over his immortal lifetime.

Thats the baseline for skill in the verse.

Before the Beacon Arc Ruby had been personally trained by Qrow in combat and as a result she was noted as always excelling above her peers in combat training. At the start of the series Ruby was at a level of skill that even though she was two years away from being eligible to join Beacon she was admitted due her combat prowess impressing Ozpin, with him noting that she was already a master at wielding one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed. In combat Ruby is capable of taking on entire hordes of Grimm on her own and walking away without a scratch and utilizing the different functionalities of the Crescent Rose, such as the massive recoil from the rifle aspect of the weapon and the weapon's transformative capabilities, in tandem with each other and her Semblance in order to maintain an edge over her opponent. Basically every named character is around this level of skill in the early seasons.

Now for Velvet. Velvet is able to perfectly and instantly mimic the exact moves that she observes other people use in combat as well as utilize multiple different fighting styles simultaneously, both armed and unarmed. Thanks to Anesidora, Velvet is also able to copy fighting styles that utilize weapons, and she is able to wield the weapons that she copies just as effectively as their original user. To date that we know of, Velvet is able to simultaneously utilize the fighting styles and weapons of Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Nora Valkyrie, Sun Wukong, Penny Polendina, Coco Adel, Peter Port, Reese Chloris, Fox Alistar, Vega Bleu, Yatsuhashi Daichi, Russel Thrush, Roy Stallion, Neptune Vasilias, Brawnz Ni, Bartholomew Oobleck, Flynt Coal, Edward Caspian, and Scarlet David. Of note, every person listed spent their entire lives training in combat and several of them are professional huntsmen with decades of combat experience.

Moving up the chain we have Nebula Violette, who not only outmatched Velvet in a 1v1 test of martial arts skill, but was directly stated to be more skilled than Velvet in combat despite Velvet mixing numerous fighting styles to try to throw her off in their fight.

Above her is Pyrrha Nikos, the skill god of the Beacon Arc. Pyrrha is one of the most skilled students at Beacon Academy, having won every combat tournament she has entered since she was a pre-teen due to both her mastery of combat and mastery of her semblance, being able to apply it in combat completely undetected and having done so in almost every fight she's been in for over a decade, doing so with such skill and precision that she has lead many to believe she is untouchable and invincible as no one has been able to even land a blow on her in her combat career. Even without her semblance she has shown the ability to quickly and easily adapt to her combat situation and analyze her opponents while fighting and changing tactics to suit the situation she is in. She has shown extreme accuracy, being able to hit moving targets from hundreds of meters away and strike vital weak points on an opponent mid-combat both with and without the aid of her semblance. She is also highly skilled at using her weapon's multiple forms in combat, being able to switch between forms several times in rapid succession to both deliver rapid attacks and counter others simultaneously.

Then theres Mercury. Mercury is a veritable master of close combat, having spent his entire life training in pure martial combat to make up for his Semblance being stolen by his father. He is shown to be a very acrobatic and agile fighter who relies upon quickly overpowering his opponent with complex kicks that imply a near-mastery of martial arts that resemble Tae-Kwon-Do. He is also capable of a break-dancing style, similar to Capoeira, and makes use of Muay Thai as well. Despite his focus on kicks, Mercury also uses his hands to grapple, block or redirect enemy attacks. His experience and skill are aggressive and effective enough to drive even fighters of a high caliber, like Pyrrha, into a defensive position, with Word of God confirming that Mercury would defeat her if he fought her seriously. Due to his fighting style, Mercury relies on his swift and quick reflexes to counter and block his opponent's attacks as first demonstrated during his fight with Yang Xiao Long, altering the course of her punches and using his footwork to raise her fists and kick underneath or around her attacks. Despite the presumed awkwardness of his weapon's ranged capabilities he is a skilled marksman, able to shoot a phone out of a person's hand from a good distance away, and is proficient at using the many different forms of projectiles at his disposal to keep his opponents off balance. Mercury is also known to be observant, tactical, and analytical, able to notice and deduce the capabilities and limits of Pyrrha's Polarity Semblance after she uses it once during their brief fight, despite Pyrrha using it extremely subtly in combat and having spent her entire life honing her ability to hide her Semblance and its mechanics from her opponents and the general public.

Theres also Neo. Having been trained in the art of infiltration and assassination at Lady Browning’s Preparatory Academy For Girls, a covert school which trains some of the most elite female spies and assassins in the world, Neo is extraordinarily skilled in combat. Her fighting style is highly evasive, focusing on dodging, deflecting or maneuvering around her opponent's strikes until she has exhausted them, or until she is ready for a counterattack. She is very acrobatic and exceptionally skilled in hand-to-hand combat, relying on her agility to dodge and misdirect enemy movements and attacks, before retaliating with her own attacks resembling a mix of Bartitsu, Fencing, and Capoeira. Her skill is such that she casually defeated opponents such as Yang and Ruby early in the series and later on the entirety of Atlas Arc Team JNR and Oscar while toying with them the entire time, and by the end of the arc taking on both Ruby and Blake simultaneously and largely keeping them on the defensive. By word of God, Neo's skill is sufficient to defeat Mercury Black in a one on one fight.

Then there's the Ace Ops. For reference, Atlas Academy's vetting process is canonically more strict than Beacon's due to it being a military school on top of a Huntsman academy, so they only accept the best of the best. All of the members of the Ace Ops graduated top of their class from Atlas Academy, meaning that they are quite literally the best of the best of the best. Ruby not only outmatched Harriet Bree, but scales to the rest of her team in skill who also outmatched members of the Ace ops, Elm in particular being canonically the most skilled person out of all the ace ops, with Clover being the only member ranked above her in combat solely due to his semblance rather than outright skill, and Yang outmatched her in combat. Included in this group is also Winter, who spent her entire military career training to be the replacement host of the Winter Maiden and even without the Maiden Powers is considered the most skilled soldier in the Atlas Military.

Qrow scales above all of this, to the point that he can casually match Winter fighting against him seriously while he is drunk and holding back by not using his strongest weaponry or fighting style, Mercury is outright scared to fight him, James Ironwood (who is able to easily outmatch Winter in 1v1 combat and required the combined efforts of Winter, Team JNR, Oscar, and Emerald to take down) is wary of fighting him one on one, and he can match Tyrian Callows (a member of Salem's inner circle who has personally hunted down and killed hundreds of professional huntsmen)
 
Dunno how I missed the second round. I'll be following for now, since I'm not really knowledgeable on any of the characters here.
 
Even as a huntsman in training he had no formal training but was innately skilled enough to not only get into Beacon via sheer skill, but for Ozpin to recognize his skill to the point of taking him under his wing and personally training him in combat, as well as choosing him as one of the few people in his multi-millenia lifespan to receive a fraction of his magic for use in defending remnant.

Qrow scales above all of this, to the point that he can casually match Winter fighting against him seriously while he is drunk and holding back by not using his strongest weaponry or fighting style, Mercury is outright scared to fight him, James Ironwood (who is able to easily outmatch Winter in 1v1 combat and required the combined efforts of Winter, Team JNR, Oscar, and Emerald to take down) is wary of fighting him one on one, and he can match Tyrian Callows (a member of Salem's inner circle who has personally hunted down and killed hundreds of professional huntsmen)
Taking all this at face value, vs Killua's on-screen showings, it seems like Qrow is considerably more skilled than him.

Killua can probably match this with his Nen Skill being at the level of a Genius, as Qrow can't really compete with an forcefield he is unable to see. Although, even with his, a close quarters fight would probably have Qrow as the winner if we consider skill alone.


Qrow is considerably more skilled, but I don't believe he can outright outskill Killua due to the latter's abilities being sufficient to be able to hold his own against more skilled opponents.
 
"as Qrow can't really compete with an forcefield he is unable to see. "

Literally every single character in RWBY has that
 
I just want to point out that Aggregor doesnt have telekinesis in this key, that's only via his staff which he doesnt have as ultimate aggregor as specified on his profile
 
"His intellegence is superior to the crab alien Brainstorm who has IQ of 1 nonillion and was able to defeat him in a battle of intellect"

The problem with this argument is that intellect doesnt always translate to combat skill, otherwise Albert einstein stomps Bruce lee in a fistfight. Plus cerebrocrustaceans as a race are all this intelligent, yet they have a natural predator that amounts to a big rubber octopus with animal level intelligence, so it's kinda hard to say that their IQ translates directly into combat skill.

"so using NRG's radiation and his indestructible armor he should be able to tank explosions with ease as the armor was stated to only be cut with the hardest matrial in the galaxy that being a piece of metal called Taydenite therefore Ultimate Aggregor his powers absorbed massively increases his durability."

I feel like that should be listed on his profile if that were the case, plus he's been hurt by non-Tandenite things before, swampfire, jetray, and ultimate cannonbolt were all able to hurt him with their attacks, and hes been hurt by plasma attacks too. If the implication is that he cant be cut by normal attacks, he can still be hurt by elemental and energy attacks, making bakugo a lot more effective against him and making qrow's energy slashes more useful.

"Having NRG"s radiation means he will have passive radiation which is the main power of NRG which is extremely dangerous for humans if they get close to him "

Definitely going to need a scan of him having NRG's passive radiation, because ben and crew fought him hand to hand a lot with no issues plus he never showed the ability to revert into NRG's radiation form, only the armored containment form. (Also isn't his passive radiation only when he isn't in the suit, his look has the suit holding his radiation from leaking out unless he uses it in beams of energy)

"would use his Life/DNA absorbtion to kill Bakugo, here is how it works just by a touch "

While this would work on bakugo, it wouldnt work on qrow due to his aura and aggregor's inexperience with absorbing energy

"Aggregor having Armodrillo Earthquake manip"

Both qrow and bakugo can fly as well as having multiple means of mid-air propulsion, the earthquakes wont be much of an issue

He can't see this Aura?

Either way, my point still stands even without that. You need to tell me your lead, though. No one debunked or told me how their character influence mt scenario other than you using your luck (which doesn't change things from Bakugou getting fricked).
 
"He can't see this Aura?"

Correct, aura is invisible to everyone, even other aura users, the only time you see it is when it's about to break in which case it will flicker or when it breaks completely and it visibly dissipates

"No one debunked or told me how their character influence mt scenario other than you using your luck (which doesn't change things from Bakugou getting fricked)."

We're waiting on more knowledgeable MHA supporters to respond to that but as for Qrow's luck, it can work to the point that a master sniper like ruby misses a stationary target that is unaware of her presence, that parts of the environment will collapse around or onto the opponent, or can reduce his own bad luck to the point that it actually becomes good luck, such as stopping a nuke from sliding out of a nearly vertical carrier plane or causing an explosive crossbow bolt to ricochet off of his weapon and into the opponent
