Scizor

 

[The_Calaca]

What's Mega Scizor's AP? G4 is 2.5GT.

Luffy should take this. Armament Haki helps against piercing/cutting damage and increase Luffy's stats, and if Luffy uses Red Hawk Scizor is pretty much wrecked considering his great weakness against fire. Plus, Red Hawk goes through the body so Luffy's going to deal some serious internal damage, probably able to destroy Scizor.

A little precognition also helps a lot since Scizor is mostly a physical fighter. If they engage in physical combat Luffy's going to dominate with his superior AP (being > 838MT), endurance and intelligence. I don't know who's the most versatile, but Luffy can deal with Scizor's blunt damage with his physiology, his cutting damage with Haki, and can land some super-effective strikes with Red Hawk.

Scizor has flight, but I don't think Luffy'd need to go G4 to compete with Scizor for the above mentioned argument that Scizor's moveset is mostly physical. If Scizor Mega-Evolves then Luffy'd go G4, that's why I need to know Mega's AP.

Luffy should take this 8/10. He's stronger, tougher, harder to deal with and his powers are perfect to deal with Scizor's moveset.

 

[PaChi2]

Friendly reminder that Scizor can also use stat amps. Like Swords dance, Iron defense, agility, etc.

Anyway:

Rubber: 1

Scizor: 0

 

[The_Calaca]

I know, but since Luffy has his own amps and is normally above Scizor I didn't adressed that part.

 

[PaChi2]

I just thought the fight was good because Scizor's fighting style counters luffy's special blunt force resistance while Luffy has a move that can totally wreck scizor if it lands.

 

[The_Calaca]

Also, Conqueror's Haki is super effective against animals and with Pokemon being tameable creatures Scizor could befriend Luffy after one shockwave.

 

[PlumCrayfish376]

Luffy has Red Hawk, which is a powerful fire type move which ignore durability and Scizor is 4x weak to fire due to being Bug/Steel type so yeah, one hit of that might cripple poor Scizor.

EDIT: Going by my research, the Large Mountain level is from Marowak w/ Thick Club doubling his attack potency. So Mega evolution Pokemon should be >>>531 x 2 = >>>1062MT or >>>1.06GT. So Gear Fourth Luffy is much higher than Scizor but Luffy really doesn't need to transform. It's nowhere close to a 2x difference.

I don't think we use pokemon Typing in battles.

"Needs its wings to adjust its body temperature or else it will melt from excess heat. Highly vulnerable to Fire-based attacks" - This is on Scizor's weakness section

 

[DragonEmperor23]

oh, okay

 

[PaChi2]

Rubber: 2

 

[Starter_Pack]

Luffy FRA, I suppose.

 

[Ryuga21]

Rubber fra

 

[ZackMoon1234]

Luffy FRA

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Luffy FRA. Though precog is less useful due to Feint, which bypasses and temporarily nulls the ability.

Best opponent for Luffy would be Lucario.

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Luffy FRA.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Uuuuh....Lucario lost to Law tho, but well maybe that would be a good match

For Gardevoir and Glaceon?

 

[DragonEmperor23]

Luffy fra

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Law's too hax for Lucario. Spatial f*ckery is a good power. Alakazam or Gengar would be better. Or Muk. Or Dusknoir.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Alakazama and Dusknoir are too much, Gengar might be good, f*** Muk :v

Then why you voting there if you think he's too haxxed?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

I mean, I never said it was a haxstomp. Just that Lucario rightfully losses due to the ability. It's too much for him to handle.

 

[The_Calaca]

Grace started.

Well, Lucario losing to Law doesn't make Luffy vs Lucario redundant since the moveset are completely different. It's actually a good match.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

I mean, I never said it was a haxstomp. Just that Lucario rightfully losses due to the ability. It's too much for him to handle.

Then its definitely one-sided match which i don't like, and i'm the OP there so i cursing myself for that

 

[KobsterHope07]

Luffy FRA

 

[The_Calaca]

Grace's over and I've added the match.

 

[Dragopentling]

Rest in pickles Scizor. This was just an unlucky but still fair matchup due to that Fire weakness xD
