A heretical crusade on the CLOWN KILLS YOU!!!

[Peppersalt43]

So uh, there are some AP scaling issues going on in Madness Combat right now. With that in mind, I'm just gonna make matches where AP doesn't matter

Heretical Priest vs Tricky the Clown​

• Speed is equalized
• Gotten Better Priest and Regular Tricky used
• The Priest has prior knowledge and 2 minutes of prep time
• Starting distance is 30 meters with no line of sight
• Battle takes place in Constantinople

Prophet of the Two-Headed Basilisk : 7

Champion of the Higher Powers : 0

Incon : 0

 

[Peppersalt43]

Ah, the first bump

 

[Comiphorous]

What does our religious fella start with?

 

[Peppersalt43]

What does our religious fella start with?

Going invisible and using Death Manip

 

[Comiphorous]

Going invisible and using Death Manip

How does the death manip work? im assuming it wouldn't working on an undead?

 

[Peppersalt43]

Tricky doesn't have Type 7 Immortality

 

[Comiphorous]

Tricky doesn't have Type 7 Immortality

He has Zed Physiology in this key.

 

[Peppersalt43]

He has Zed Physiology in this key.

OK so I read the scan, nothing indicates that it doesn't work on the undead in the verse

 

[Comiphorous]

Well, it's supposed to be the opposite. unless indicated otherwise, Death Manipulation shouldn't work on something that's already dead.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Well that's the thing, it can be used on undead

 

[Comiphorous]

Well that's the thing, it can be used on undead

Ah. funky how that works.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Ah. funky how that works.

With that in-mind, how would this go?

 

[Comiphorous]

With that in-mind, how would this go?

Well, death manip ******* kills the undead, Tricky resurrects, speed amps and tries to slap the priest silly, and repeats until he can get a hit in.

the question is, if tricky can one shot them before being death'd.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Well, death manip ******* kills the undead, Tricky resurrects, speed amps and tries to slap the priest silly, and repeats until he can get a hit in.

I mean, they are invisible and if caught, they can just go intangible. Not super reliable but it's an option

 

[Comiphorous]

I mean, they are invisible and if caught, they can just go intangible. Not super reliable but it's an option

are they permanently invisible, or is there a time limit?

 

[Peppersalt43]

No time limit

 

[Comiphorous]

No time limit

Well shit. unless Tricky can get a way to locate the Priest and one-shot them i think he gets death manip'd

 

[Peppersalt43]

Well shit. unless Tricky can get a way to locate the Priest and one-shot them i think he gets death manip'd

Repeatedly nonetheless

Keep in mind though, the range is only 30 feet. If Tricky starts getting angry and begins dropping buildings, there may be a possibility that he'd hit the priest

Or if he starts flying, which he does a lot quicker than dropping buildings, which would put him outta range.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Problem is, there is no indication of the range as the move is instantaneous and has no tell

Plus that invisibility hat can double as an intangibility one

 

[Peppersalt43]

Well that was fun

Bump

 

[Comiphorous]

It sucks Tricky wasn't in the final fight against Phobos, since that'd give his tricky key non-physical interaction.

if only.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Anyway the priest can't be both intangible and invisible at the same time so in order to get the jump on Tricky, he would need invisibility. The intangibility is for survivability

 

[Peppersalt43]

Well that was fun

Bump

 

[Board3659]

I am leaning on the Priest winning

 

[Peppersalt43]

Care to elaborate?

 

[Board3659]

Well shit. unless Tricky can get a way to locate the Priest and one-shot them i think he gets death manip'd

yeah though again I am not voting priest yet

 

[Peppersalt43]

OK, back to waiting for @Comiphorous

 

[Peppersalt43]

Anyway, bump...

Based on the debate between the thread starter and Comiphorous, it looks like a win in Heretical Priest's favor. I mean let's be real, the Higher Powers may have shit standards, but even they would get bored of Tricky getting death-manipped over-and-over nonstop.

Yeah. Give him 3-4 death manips and tricky’s done.

And that's grace, thanks everyone!

 

[Comiphorous]

so chances are this is gonna be outdated, since tricky is actually getting non-physical interaction soon, which means the priest's incorporeality doesn't save him and gets one shot when tricky attacks him.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Actually... I will remove it, but I will ask here instead.

We're working under the impression that, due to how fickle the Higher Powers in Madness Combat are, they would drop Tricky if he were just snapped-dead multiple times in one sitting, and that this is the more likely outcome than Tricky killing off the priest.

I don't think the addition of Non-Phys necessarily changes that outcome, or at least invalidates this matchup in its entirety. We're still looking at a scenario where Tricky is blindly swinging around to kill the Priest, and the Priest is just death haxing Tricky. Presuming no foul luck on the Priest's part, they should still win this.

Well, the priest can't have it's invisibility and intangibility on at the same time, so tricky isn't gonna be blindly swinging at the priest, once he becomes visible all tricky has to do is amp and breathe in it's general direction.
