A salaryman who likes hands takes on a disease - Yoshikage Kira vs Alex Mercer

Status
Not open for further replies.
It was in the evening that a man walked out of a supermarket building at New York City and entered the alleyway. That man is revealed to be Yoshikage Kira himself, with his new girlfriend hidden in his pocket. Carrying his girlfriend out of his pocket, his 'girlfriend' is actually revealed to be some freshly murdered woman's severed manicured hand. Just after he was cooing with his new girlfriend that he has met in his time on New York City though, he has heard a loud crash. He then heard a voice: "I know you're in there. Come out of that alleyway now, or face true agony."

Alarmed, Kira then turned in every direction around him, but he couldn't find the source of the voice. Impossible, he made sure to clear off any potential traces and evidences of his act, right down to destroying that wench's body and hiding his new girlfriend away. All he wanted was a peaceful and quiet life to himself, but it appears that he must confront this unknown threat. Anxious, he then turned to his new 'girlfriend' and apologised to 'her', and that they must part ways so soon after their meeting. He then blew up the hand, wiping out all traces of his now 'ex-girlfriend'. Sad, but now filled with resolve, he then walked out of the alleyway.

Looking around, Kira still couldn't find any sign of the voice's source. However, all of the alarm bells are ringing within him, warning him that danger is about to arrive… To Dodge!
He managed to barely throw himself out of the way as a large object whizzed past him in a blur, one of its… Wheels (?) managing to barely graze his cheek. The large object then crashed into the building into the building that he walked out of. Looking at the wreckage of the building, that large object is revealed to be a M1 Abrams tank. He then pieced it together that the military vehicle has been thrown at him. Impossible. No living creature on Earth should possess that type of raw strength, especially for an object as large and heavy as that to be thrown at a speed that it appears as a blur to the untrained eye. This has to be the doing of the individuals with gifted abilities like him… This must be the work of an enemy stand! Feeling a presence behind him, Kira turned around to see the perpetrator of the thrown vehicle. The perpetrator is a hooded man in a leather jacket and blue jeans. The hooded man is standing there with his arms crossed, along with a major portion of his upper face covered by the shadows from his hoodie, looking relaxed for someone who has just tossed a tank like it was a toy. Though Kira couldn't see it, he had a feeling that the hooded man is smirking at him, with the knowing smirk exuding the feeling that the man knew that Kira is no ordinary man. Impossible! Kira made sure that there were no witnesses around or traces of evidence to be found, so how can this man knew if he wasn't around?!

"Prepare yourself" Kira heard the man said before he uncrossed his arms, getting into some kind of predatory stance, not unlike that of a lion preparing to slaughter its prey. Kira then prepares himself for the enemy he is about to face. Either way, Kira is confident that he would triumph in this encounter with the enemy Stand user, for Lady Fate is on his side! As if on response to his sudden confidence, the hooded man's smirk then morphed into a predatory grin, with his teeth gaining a shark-like appearance as if to signify that the hunt has started.


Kira Kosaku Hands
Alex Mercer grin
Kira is in his second key. Alex Mercer is in his strongest key.

The starting distance between them is 2 meters.

Speed is equalised.

No prior knowledge for either of them (other than what they have assumed from each other in the text describing their encounter, regardless of whether or not its incorrect).

Location: Outside of a supermarket building in New York City.

Yoshikage Kira: 0

Alex Mercer: 7 (Sir sun man, DeathNoodles, The pen or the sword, Schnee One, Jasonsith, Ciruno Fortes, The Wright Way)

Inconclusive:
 
I'd go with mercer All he really needs to do is punch Kira once and he'd explode into a blood fountain And considering the 2 meter distance between them it would be the first thing mercer would do
 
As interesting of a character Kira can be and as much as I like Jojo, Kira would lose here. With speed equalised, Kira wouldn't even be fast enough to explode Mercer (thus, atomising Mercer) due to how long the process would take to blow Mercer up at that distance, resulting Kira getting infected by Mercer's viral gasses in the very beginning. Basically, this is how long the process would take for Kira to win:

Kira gets out his Killer Queen. Get his Killer Queen to reach over to Mercer. Have his Killer Queen touch Mercer. Kira then presses his thumb, and Mercer blows up. That would require Kira to perform 3 or 4 actions at best to attain victory the moment the fight starts.

In contrast, all Mercer needs to do is unleash the viral gasses at an omnidirectional direction, and have Kira get passively infected by the gasses. Mercer would only require 1 action to attain victory the moment the fight starts, and Mercer has no qualms against infecting even ordinary humans around the Prototype 2 timeline (so Kira having the appearance of an ordinary salesman is an irrelevant point, as Mercer is even fine with infecting ordinary humans).

Bites the Dust is also useless as that would require Kira to implant his Killer Queen into a non-stand user that knows of his identity beforehand, which Kira wouldn't have the time to do even assuming this is in-character for him to plant Killer Queen on a completely unknown enemy that he isn't entirely certain that is or isn't a stand user (which shouldn't be in-character for him by the way. I don't see him yelling out his name out loud to any completely unknown enemy he faces and then activating Bites the Dust). And Kira hasn't ever used Bites the Dust in a fight unless he is extremely cornered, as showcased in the canon. Even if we assume it's not out-of-character for him, I doubt Kira could even get past the first syllable of his full name before he is doubling over, coughing and dying (or getting turned into a mindless infected) within seconds.

Mercer should win here.

Stomp. Kira has absolutely no win con here
Kira's match with Cell proves that he can overcome any level of Regenerationn lower than the High rating via exploding his opponent.
 
Kira can but Im not sure this isn't still a stomp, he could theortically win but it requires him to somehow survive the gas attack and get off his technique before mercer has slaughtered him. Im not sure victory is truly possible for kira. If it is I vote mercer but this looks like it may be a stomp...

It's not a stomp if the character has a win condition they can achieve in-character, but are just "too slow" or something to achieve it before their opponent does (but are still viable for them to do at the beginning of a match, and I'm pretty sure the first thing Kira does is to try to blow up his opponent).

Just look at Vanilla Ice vs Alex Mercer.
 
Better question: would Mercer be blitzed in a speed unrestricted match?

The answer is obvious already if you look at the speed rating in Alex Mercer's profile (which is Supersonic+ or likely Hypersonic), hence this match is speed equalised.

Kira is Peak Human with Massively FTL reactions

Alex is Supersonic+ to Hypersonic.

Would kiting work for Alex?

I am checking speed unrestricted match as it is proven speed equalised match would end in stomp in Alex's favour
 
At the range they start at speed never really becomes a factor they both open with trying to go for their win con, mercer opens with gas and kira opens with his stand. The fact remains Kira needs more setup time then mercer does. Mercer is also much faster outside reaction times.
 
So Alex farts and stomps (speed equalised or unrestricted). Case closed?
 
Thats what it seems like... Kira can't get his win con off before mercer gets his off.

Saying that Im not an expert on jojo's bizarre adventure so Im basing this soley off the profile, but seeing as no ones offered up a way kira gets off killer queen before mercer gets off gas Im inclined to believe it isn't feasible...
 
Guys, this is not a stomp if one of the character's in-character win condition is faster than the other (and both of their win cons are in-character for them in this match). Having a relatively slower win condition does not make it a stomp in any way. If it does, then many versus matches (especially speed equalised ones) in the past would've been concluded as a stomp, which is definitely not the case.

I mean, look at Vanilla Ice vs Alex Mercer. Some of the users in that thread considers that match to be one of the most well-debated matches in this site, yet the reason Vanilla Ice lost was basically because his win condition is slower than Mercer's.

But his Stand, Killer Queen (Stands are basically summoned entities that are the manifestation of their users' fighting spirits), is fully-fledged Massively FTL. Stands users might not be anywhere near as fast in combat, but their Stands are an entirely different story. With this match being speed unequalised with that starting distance, Kira would just activate his Killer Queen via thought at speeds far above Mercer, and have his Killer Queen blitz Mercer and then blow him up. This would be a stomp in Kira's favour if it is speed unequalised. With speed equalised, this is as fair as you can get for this match at this starting distance.
 
I mean

Alex never ever starts with gas attacks in character and I think we have like one instance of it even when he could infect others like in the previous game.

But Alex FRA

Technically, it was two instances if you count getting those Blackwatch soldiers getting gassed by the tainted Whitelight (which just shows how willing he is to infect even ordinary humans), but let's not dig up those arguments in the Vanilla Ice vs Alex Mercer thread again.
