bUT iTS true tHO! In all seriousness, I don't see how both of these fighters can just escape Ness and The Withers opening attack.
'I've said multiple times that Ness has Non physical interactions (he's able to attack, ghost, spirits, a literal walking drawings, etc). Ness opening with paralysis (since hypnosis won't do Jack to these two) means:
it reduces mobility by a lot (When you're hit by this, the text box reads "Do nothing", unless you have some spare Psychic points or that your partner has some healing items made to cure that status, this also
makes physical combat useless),
blocks the use of equipment's Now this one is going to punish The Terrarian a lot (
also how Ness won against Steve and yeah, The Terraria) since it gives
all of his arsenal and equipment's the big middle finger (hence why I said he would likely die first, since Ness can hit them both at the same time, also because the winning conditions includes incapacitation. That's why I was "sleeping" on Terrarian) An example of this would be
Jeff, he carries
a lot of items; such as bottle rockets, bombs, and to everyone else, healing items, stats buff and debuff items and even different weapons.
It even blocks them from changing weapons and armor mid fight. (which honestly sounds like it requires
preparation time if Terrarian is going to give armor and weapons to Slade, but still get nope'd by Status effect). And finally...
Is a status effect that will not disappear anytime soo It will stick until the end of the battle, and without healing items or PSI skills, it can't be cured.
If you looked into my previous comment, it regards about what he opens with; my main point is that he's a supporter type character, with only Rocking and Flash being more on the offensive side. Other than that, all of his PSI abilities are supportive type. Further more, PK Flash is more of a last resort if all else fails since OHK requires a lot of luck (however,
Flash omega has a higher probability of killing one of them and the other gets a random effect) while Paralysis and Hypnosis (Cannot use crt stuff though, making this ability useless) are guaranteed to hit with their default status effect.
However, given that Ness is being put up against two opponents would mean he can whip out PK Rocking right away to knock out one of them, which I'm looking towards Slade since he's baseline.
Now then.., you did mention that Slade has some thought based attacks, which would indeed help a lot given the situation; like teleporting or abilities such Pyrokinesis or Electricity Manipulation (Though gets reflected back thanks to the Franklin Badge). However, seeing as how The Wither
and Ness can be protected by a power shield (And that Ness can heal himself and The Wither constantly, because PSI is
not magic), he'll likely be knocking himself out in the process (Also unsure how "teleporting inside of Ness's shield" would work out, he can go
near him, but I don't think
inside would work out).
Basically I see Ness putting up shields to protect him and The Wither, using paralysis + Rockin (knocking out Slade), and likely ending it with a good old PK Flash or The Wither snipes ahead, making them decompose over time. I don't see any resistance on both's profile, so I am assuming it would work.
Also forgot to ask, does Terrarian have any Thought based attacks like Slade? I'll try to come up with something better if this is "not enough", because I think I skipped some parts.
