Tournament of Swords, Spears, and More Throwaway Match: Guts vs SCP-076

[Naito-desu]

Hello! And welcome back to our Medieval Tournament of Swords, Spears, and More! For our throwaway match we have the tenacious Guts, the Struggler himself face to face against the Breaker of the Bronze God himself, SCP-076, otherwise known as "Abel"!

• Both are 9-A, Guts in his Black Swordsman Arc key, 076 in his second key
• This battle takes place in an arena outside of these characters' verses
• Both characters start 5 meters apart from each other
• Speeds are equalized
• Both have all their standard equipment

Guts:

Able:

Incon:

Lowkey imagining 076 making a bigger version of Dragonslayer with saw blades on it

 

[SamanPatou]

I vote Guts.

Since this isn't extended canon 076, he is mostly a rampaging berserker, with unknown skill in swordmanship.

Guts on the other hand is a much more skilled, tactical and experienced warrior (we can't tell if 076 long life gave him anything relevant), with better mobility (even this early version of Guts).
Guts already had encounters with opponents far stronger than him, and in this case he may even have the stats advantage (not LS, but now it doesn't really matter).

076 stamina and resilience are insane, but I still see him going down after awhile (or a clear lethal strike).

Being unfamiliar with both sides, I don't see reason to disagree with SamanPatou's reasoning, & will use it as the basis for my vote towards Guts.
Helps that Guts scales "massively" above 100,000 joules.. I can easily see him having the better stats.

? Im not sure what you mean here, Article Canon 076 is still a master of every form of martial arts on earth, you sure youre not mixing up him with 682?

 

[SamanPatou]

Isn't he limited to his original article?

Wait, I forgot the addendums, does that stuff come from there?

 

[Naito-desu]

This'll be a more even match then, though Guts in the Golden Age also did fight human Zodd, who had equally worthy experience to SCP-076, and held Guts to high esteem for his ability. Not to mention Guts' Analytical Prediction should close any gap in skill

 

[WeeklyBattles]

And the supplementary material for it yes, thats where he gets that feat from

Experience and skill arent the same thing

 

[WeeklyBattles]

So lets see, going off the profiles

076 has the AP, Durability, Skill/Intelligence, Stamina, Endurance, Lifting Strength, and Range advatage

While Guts has...Is his probability manip even combat applicable?

 

[Naito-desu]

Guts massively scales above the given figure so not really AP or durability given that the 100,000 was only through one shotting a guy who killed a bear in single combat. Guts killed 100 armed men in single battle in one night, not to mention his Supernatural Willpower is already frightening enough on its own to bolster his endurance in combat.

So I don't think the stamina gap is significant whatsoever, given that I also think that the terms used for the Stamina portions are arbitrary anyway. They both start in melee range, so I don't see how the range advantage is meaningful in any way, seems it does not seem in-character for Able to kite. Lifting Strength does speak for itself I admit, but otherwise the advantages you've stated for SCP-076 are not any significant whatsoever.

076 backscales from 682

Who in all of Berserk has skill comparable to 076?

 

[SamanPatou]

And the supplementary material for it yes, thats where he gets that feat from

I actually forgot that I did read them at the time, at least the addendums that are linked at the bottom of the article, but they don't mention him being expert on all martial arts on Earth. He is regarded as being knowledgeable in military tactics, but the addendums don't go that much deep on his actual combat skill.

Again it comes from his article's supplementary material which is treated as article canon under our SCP scaling rules

 

[SamanPatou]

Could you link it? Because this is not it and it's the only one I could find.

 

[Naito-desu]

076 backscales from 682

Isn't SCP 682 small building level, I'm assuming the 9-B 076's AP range is still within the 100kj to 1mj range? Otherwise, he stomps here if he scales to even high end wall level but also is disqualified from the brackets

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Imma b compltelty honest i have no idea why 076 has a 9-B section

 

[Loyd]

so voting guts i guess..

 

[Naito-desu]

This match-up is already confusing enough as is, considering that 076 probably shouldn't have a 9-B key, especially if he fought on par with 682

 

[Loyd]

oh i see nvm probably should disqualify

 

[Rikimarox2]

Can't we just change it to 9A versions?

 

[Naito-desu]

This match-up can still be salvaged though, I'll switch it over to Black Swordsman Arc Guts and let it continue

 

[Lou_change]

If SCP wins can I choose another character for the bracket?

 

[SamanPatou]

This match-up can still be salvaged though, I'll switch it over to Black Swordsman Arc Guts and let it continue

But then it isn't a 9-B bracket anymore and they can't go on, right?

 

[Naito-desu]

Yeah, lou can choose a substitute character though. Let's continue in the bracket thread.

 

[Kirinator07]

Necro, should we do a matchup for both since 076 now has an 8-A key?
