Alucard VS Richard Spender

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Fulfilling my end of a bargain I made a couple of months ago.

Speed is equalized and the combatants start at fifty meters away. Al is Pre-Schrodinger. Spender is in his first key.

Otherwise SBA.

Alucard: 0

Richard Spender: 0

Inconclusive: 0

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Will vote on this in a bit.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

I'll be here.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Legend says King is still here to this day

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Bump.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

So Spender's only wincon is Shadow Chasams, where as Alucard can shoot him, drink him, tear him apart, toss him onto a large sharp object, feed him to his familiars and probably other horrible way to die. I'm not liking Spender's chances.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

I'm going to wait for Dargoo to show up again before I start counting anything.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

I sort of just realized that Alucard has flight, which kind of hard-counters Spender's Chasms unless he's somehow cocky enough to let himself fall into a pit his opponent makes

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Oh.

 

[Xtas]

I'm sure Richard can kill Alucard. Once.

After that he's kind of screwed.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Shadow Chasms are EE so they should bypass Alucard's regen. I don't remember Alucard flying alot in battle. Still don't like Spender's chances.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

He only ever flew maybe once in the series, and that wasn't during combat.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Spender's EE would do away with all of Alucard's souls at once before he could use them to regen, considering it EE'd the lower half of a spirit.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

He doesn't even regen with his souls (hence why it's mentioned on his page that his "soul count immortality" is only a fan theory), so those are a non-factor anyway.

His level of Regenerationn was exactly the same after he'd lost all of his souls and gotten the crap kicked out of him by Anderson wielding the Nail, so that right there is already proof that it doesn't work that way.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

@MrKing Tell that to everyone I've seen using that as a primary argument in other matches. I've seen that soul thing taken as fact alot here.

that's what I get for reading fanfics

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

@MrKing Tell that to everyone I've seen using that as a primary argument in other matches.

I do. Constantly.

I couldn't tell you why everyone still uses that, other than the theory being so deeply ingrained in everyone's head by now that a lot of people just take it as fact at this point. But it's not the truth, and was never stated to be in the series at any point. The most evidence there is to suggest it is Anderson saying "I think I can kill him while he's in Level 0" and Nail Anderson making all the familiars disappear when he stabbed Al in the heart with a blessed bayonet.

Other than that, his regen never changed, to the point that Walter sliced him in half and ripped him apart numerous times and he was perfectly fine afterwards. If his regen had been reliant on the souls he'd consumed, him getting sliced in half while in Level 0 and lacking his familiars would have permanently ended his life.

Dandyman also used cards to bypass Alucard's regen. He didn't last long after Alucard started treating him like a treat.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

How do cards bypass regen?

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

The cards Dandyman/Alhambra used had the specific power to negate Regenerationn when embedded in someone.

Although Dandyman's cards weren't capable of permanently erasing Al from existence, so that is still a major false equivalency.

It's not Spender disabling his regen though.

It's Spender erasing his entire body from existence.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Also, Spender would likely need to capture Alucard's entire body in a Chasm to actually finish him.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Yeah, if Alucard grabs a ledge and Spender just bisects him he's in big trouble.

 

[Xtas]

Considering Alucard always toys at first, lets people hit him with their best tactic first, this might actually be bad for him.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Bump, for both characters need more matches.

 

[Moritzva]

Doesn't Alucard have precog, so he'd know to not get hit by Chasm?

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

I don't even remember where Al's precog even comes from.

 

[Xtas]

It's not precognition, he can tell when a person is gonna do something by looking at their body's movement.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

That is not how the profile makes it sound.

 

[Xtas]

You're right, it doesn't.

 

[Moritzva]

That's not what the profile says, either. It says he has 'precognition'.

Regardless... Well, that's good to know.
