Alan Vs Smeargle (Top 3 Strongest Non-Smurf 7-Bs)

[Bobsican]

Noticed that as SBA demands characters to be at their peak, this means that Smeargle has nearly every Pokemon move in the series at once, so...

Both at 7-B, Speed Equalized

Alan

Smeargle

Does Speed Equalization still apply to statistics amplification?

 

[Bobsican]

Partially, only the multiplier used for Speed applies within Speed Equal matches, so the increase is proportional, rather than a flat-one if it merely reaches an higher Speed level.

 

[Purmeenant]

So basically if it's 2.5 times it's fine but if it reaches a higher tier like MFTL to Infinite then no?

[Bobsican]

Those are also fair game (see Jojo being busted with Speed Equal as their Stands have a large gap compared to their users). although a multiplier based on the user's regular speed would have to be extrapolated for the purposes of a versus thread.

Smeargle's Pros:
-Spore/Dark Void
-Statistics Amplification
-Danmaku with Judgement
-Destiny Bond
-More Versatile
-Higher Stamina

Alan's Pros
-Resists everything that Smeargle could use as a wincon(Example: Sheer Cold, Spacial Rend, and Roar of Time)
-Everything he resists he can do to Smeargle. Especially Time Manipulation.
-Can outright one shot Smeargle with Wave Motion Shovel Blast
-Can rewrite Smeargle's abilities
-Can redirect moves like he's Shovel Knight with Vector Manipulation
-Smarter

I would say Alan wins this. The only thing Smeargle can do is either wear him down or get a draw via Destiny Bond, the former being difficult due to Alan just saying "No" and hitting anything back.

 

[Bobsican]

What about Imprison? There's no visible resistance to power nullification, and then there's Transform on top to finish that off...

 

[Purmeenant]

Why would Imprison work here? Transform would just result in a stalemate.

 

[Bobsican]

See, Imprison remains active even while using Transform, meaning that Smeargle can suppress everything it can copy (which is basically everything here) with that combination.

No I mean why would Imprison work since Smeargle doesn't have his moves?

 

[Bobsican]

Smeargle would get them with Transform.

 

[Purmeenant]

Smeargle would get them with Transform.

Has this ever been the case with Transform?

 

[Bobsican]

It is, yes, in fact it's what it uses in competitive 1v1.

okay now I follow. I didn't know this was a thing, so yeah Smeargle takes this.
