Who wins and why?

 

[Oiguana2701]

Bump

 

[azontr]

How skilled is Jean's opponent in H2H?

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

What does Mikaela start with, in character?

Jean fights predominately as an outboxer, using his absurd reach and footwork to shower opponents with jabs while maintaining several meters worth of distance between himself and them. His absurd skill at spacing and techniques make him virtually impossible to approach in melee range.

Jean also has experience using this strategy, even against characters with knives and other melee weapons.

 

[Uzukeas]

Mikaela normally runs away when she sees someone stronger than her and keeps the distance.

 

[azontr]

Will she able to tell immediately that Jean is stronger than her?

By the time she's realized, he's already at range and laying hands on her.

Not to mention, his punching range is enormous, so it's doubtful she will be able to make enough distance before Jean reaches her. His effective range is nearly 10 feet.

Well it doesn’t really matter anyway.

if Mikaela is out into a. Situation where she is fighting, she will try her best to run away and escape instead.
Also, her stealth mastery should come into play here.

 

[Uzukeas]

It’s in character for Mikaela to drop firecrackers if her opponent were to get close.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

I mean she probably won't have time to drop firecrackers, the moment Jeanne gets within a couple of meters of her she's already getting punched in the face several times over. That's just by sheer virtue of how skilled he is at weaving in and out of his opponent's range. From what you're telling me Maikaela doesn't seem to be that skilled in actual combat, meaning if he catches her he could probably simply dominate with his wealth of boxing techniques.

You mention she'll try to run away and escape, what exactly does that do for her? Will she try to attack him from afar or something?

 

[azontr]

It doesn't matter if she tries to run away or escape because she simply cannot run fast enough to escape from Jean's punches. Especially when he doesn't need to be at point blank to hit her, he only needs to be within the span of a few meters to knock her teeth out.

Unless her stealth mastery is so potent that she can literally disappear from sight to people who are staring directly at her, it's not the most relevant ability. She needs an opportunity and specialized location to use it, which would also require her to GET AWAY from Jean, which simply isn't happening.

Even if she DID somehow get to the point she could use projectiles (firecrackers), it would literally never hit Jean, because he'd immediately dodge it and he'd be so far away because he's capable of sniping her with his punches. He probably wouldn't even let her drop it because he'd punch her in the throat the moment she stops to pull any weapons out in general.

Mikaela will also probably set up a Circle of Healing as soon as she could, allowing her to heal herself

Based purely on the name I assume she has to stay within an alloted effective area (a circle) for this to take effect? Or does this circle follow her around wherever she goes?

She has to activate a totem (which is standard equipment) and then stay in the area, yes

 

[azontr]

Would probably be a bit difficult to utilize that effectively. Given she has to stay within an area, as WELL as utilize an item that manifests said area- Jean would probably knock her teeth in before she gets the chance to drop it down.

And if she did succeed, he could just like knock her out of the circle.

 

[ShockingPsychic]

As for other things she can do, Dead Hard can let her take a lethal blow without dying/getting knocked down, Flashbang could cause a distraction or blind Jean, Scene Partner will allow her to see Jean through walls (triggered by screaming), and Self-Care/Plot Twist can be used to heal herself if she can't stay in the circle of healing

 

[azontr]

All very useful items, but I just don't think she will have the chance to use them before Jean is wailing on her from a distance.

 

[Moritzva]

lol why is the dbd survivor in a tournament their entire job is to run the **** away

circle of healing doesn't even let her heal herself anymore

what is this match

Stomp for The Peaker character, of course.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

so uhhhh.

yeah voting Jeanne. Je kinda just beats the stuffing outta her. She tries to fight head-on and gets steamrolled, or she tries to play hide and seek and just gets steamrolled before she can run away.

 

[Uzukeas]

Mikaela can also create illusions.
Also, what’s Jeans stamina?
And.. Mokaela has been able to take hits from giant machetes to the back, she is definitely capable of taking multiple blows.

 

[Uzukeas]

Deadhard allows her to take a hit and she should be able to run away via sprint burst which is 150 percent of her normal speed.

She can drop them instantly as she’s being attacked.
She can also stop her bleeding or any damage which has been done to her via Low profile.

 

[Moritzva]

"running away and slowly taking hits" is not a good win condition, also those machetes to the back massively injure her

 

[RanaProGamer]

Added some pics to the OP to give a tournament feel

 

[azontr]

I'm also voting Jean.

 

[AThe1412]

Jean FRA. Not gonna lie, you should have picked Ash out of all the survivors. Ash can at least actually fight and he has no wins yet.

 

[Uzukeas]

How is Jean able to take straight firecrackers?
And how is Jean going to counter Mikaelas biological manipulation?

Mikaela can stop herself from bleeding and drop firecrackers to still hurt Jean, along with her being able to use dead hard to take attacks which would normally damage her.

She should be able to outlast Jean via her stamina, and or blind him with flash bangs.

 

[Shmooply]

How does she utilize them?

And how is Jean going to counter Mikaelas biological manipulation?

Nothing is stopping him from repeatedly punching her even after Low Profile activates.

 

[Uzukeas]

She normally uses them to blind the killer, though it should have a different effect against another human.

Though any damage such as bleeding will be mitigated.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

And.. Mokaela has been able to take hits from giant machetes to the back, she is definitely capable of taking multiple blows.

Then she just becomes a punching bag. There's only so many times someone can get jabbed in the face before getting knocked unconscious. And since she seems to lack much actual combat skill, she doesn't really have much that can stop him aside from relying on her items.

Deadhard allows her to take a hit and she should be able to run away via sprint burst which is 150 percent of her normal speed.

And she's gonna be able to pull this off while someone physically stronger than her is pelting her with blows?

 

[Uzukeas]

And she's gonna be able to pull this off while someone physically stronger than her is pelting her with blows?

Yes, she is able to instantly drop firecrackers, she doesn’t have to light them up or anything. Even when she is hit by a killer, the ability button to drop a firecracker still remains.

And that’s where deadhard comes in and high allows her to take said physical blows temporality.
Plus, Unbreakable should allow her to get back up if she is put down.

This?
It's a giant and pretty noticable pack of firecrackers that requires her to drop them and hope the enemy steps on them, which I don't think would work when they're in the middle of Central Park during (probably) daytime and she's up against a genius fighter.

The OP never said where they were fighting in the post.

Plus, she could simply just be right next to him and drop them instantly. In the clip you showed, we even see Meg get hit and downed yet she still is able Tod top it mid way, so even if she is being hit- it would drop and explode,

Standard Battle Assumptions

Location: Central Park, New York City. The location can be left during the course of battle. If extreme advantages are generated via this location to one side, a balanced alternative should be discussed in the thread.

Plus, she could simply just be right next to him and drop them instantly.

Which she wouldn't be able to because she's up against a boxer with good melee range that's constantly hitting her in vulnerable spots.

In the clip you showed, we even see Meg get hit and downed yet she still is able Tod top it mid way, so even if she is being hit- it would drop and explode,

I am once again asking why would Jean do this in the first place. What's stopping him from waiting for it to explode, or to re-position himself, or, y'know, punch her in the arm to disarm her and send the firecrackers flying elsewhere? You'd have to argue that Jean is somehow an idiot that would willingly step on them, which he wouldn't.

 

[azontr]

All these hax abilities only work via the use of items she has to actively use. Which she is simply never going to get the chance to do.

The first jab she takes, if it doesn't knock her out immediately, will confuse her of Jean's range and speed, delaying her running away or pulling out any items. Even a split-second delay will lead into Jean hitting her again, and again, and again, without her being able to do anything but get pelted with blows.

To use any items after this she would have to either endure Jean's blows or dodge them. She's not enduring them because she's far weaker, and even if she had a speed advantage she'd never be able to dodge them because Jean sees her movements like an open book before they even happen.

There is literally no possible reality where this girl does anything before Jean is already on her from like 3 meters away.

 

[Moritzva]

This is a stomp of incredible proportions.

 

[RanaProGamer]

Sup fellas, I’m back from my vacation, can anyone put me up to speed as to who y’all have voted for?

 

[azontr]

The general consensus is that Jean stomps.

Yikes, what if I give Mikaela prep time?

 

[azontr]

Idk why you'd do that instead of just letting Jean move on
