ALTERNATE TITLE: THE WAY TO A LIFE FULL OF SMILES


Just in case anyone hasn't realized, Austin Theory is a part of the Spammed Character Saga, first introduced here. I haven't done much with him so let's see what I can do in this one for this one.

This is a continuation of the story here
● ------------------------------------- ●
Sunset and Theory watched the most recent match, ending with Rainbow Dash on the ground, barely conscious... Followed by Finn jumping onto her and stomping her gut, now knocking her fully unconscious.

"Don't worry, I've seen her go through worse. She'll be fine, most of us take hits like that weekly" the wrestler explained.
"I thought it's supposed to be fake. But yeah, she can take that" the orange human replied.

"Maybe in some messed up alternate reality but from where I come from, it's as real as it can get. Speaking of which, it's my time to show em the way!" Theory yelled before walking out, meeting up with his team on the way and getting himself prepared. His image was already on the big screen alongside merchandise and other generic ads strewn about this event. It was why he agreed to be trapped in that realm, for the hope of expanding the company's reach beyond their mere universe and now it was coming to fruition. Now if only his cue would come...

"Mmm, these cupcakes are amazing! You're getting real good at this, Yor. We should try muffins later, American obviously. Who even..." Pinkie Pie conversed, somehow broadcasted to the public which took her far too long to realize "Oh, has this been on all this time? Darn, sorry everyone! Anyway...".

"And for our next round, we'll welcome one of the main advertisers of this event! That's right, it's the guy on your cups and hats you bought at the merchandise store in front! Now, please make way for The Way himself, Austin Theory!" she announced, earning applause as loud and thunderous as the ones back at his home. He nearly shed a tear at this display, all those horrid monsters and weaponry wielding skillmasters he had to go through and now he could finally enjoy a good ol' match.

"And on the other side comes the hyperactive bundle of joy here to stand in your way. Please give a round applause to the cupcake killer herself... Me!" Pinkie Pie announced, instantly silencing the whole crowd. She disappeared in a burst of confetti before reappearing in the stage, much to everyone's shock. She quickly ripped off her suit, revealing the outfit Rarity had made for this occasion, followed by her tossing a cloud of sparkles above her. Expectedly, the crowd and her opponent is not amused.

"Oh, why do down? You have been touched by laughter..." Pinkie Pie said ominously before pressing her thumb to her right hand as if pressing a switch. A giant explosion soon followed, knocking Theory down and earning a gasp from the crowd, followed by applause except for one.
"Hey, that's my thing!" Kira yelled from the crowd though nobody heard him from the racket the crowd was creating.

Theory laid on the ground in both shock and disappointment, eventually getting up though not before exclaiming.

"Not again...".

Well, Pinkie Pie’s ability are certainly… interesting.

Theory has an overwhelming skill advantage, and the AP to make it count, Pinkie Pie also doesn’t have any absurd overwhelming counters like RD’s speed.

That said, Theory has no counters to what I can only describe as the ridiculous shit Pinkie Pie can pull out her ass. She can blind him with filter faces, stay out of range with balloons, and blow him up with explosions that get stronger on each use, eventually overturning the AP advantage in her own favour. Theory could try and end the fight quick, but Pinkie Pie has numerous options to halt his momentum, and he doesn’t have much reason to go for a finisher right off the bat, a move that is for him an exceedingly out of characte

Theory could try using Social Influencing, but he specialises in aggregating his opponents, more than anything. If he could lure Pinkie Pie in close he could snatch victory, but he doesn’t have the specific type of Social Influencing or, frankly, the tactical brains to pull such a move off. He will be able to land a few hits, sure, and they’ll hit hard, but how does he deal with being so ridiculously overwhelmed? Not to sound like Saman but he isn’t built for this.

I can buy into Theory giving Pinkie Pie a rather tough time of it, but she really just needs to keep her distance and play smart, which she sakes capable enough of from her page. I’m more than open to hearing Random out when he inevitably posts a counter-argument to this - I do think this match is a close one - but for now that’s how I see it.
 
Johnny and Dukey vs Pinkie and Rainbow would be pretty cool ngl.

Well, uh yeah. Other than Social Influencing, decent Pain Tolerance, and finishers, Theory's got basically no answer to Pinkie's bullshit.

Though I will say that Theory can use his Social Influencing to aggravate Pinkie to the point where she does something reckless and/or stupid, which he has used before (look at his rivalry with Pat McAfee. He almost got him fired because he constantly provoked him). Also Theory is a dirty player, and he won't hesitate to do something that's considered "cowardly" or "desperate" in order to get him the win, so Theory can potentially exploit that as well. Once Theory finds an opening, he'll end this match as quickly as possible, as do most wrestlers when they realize they're at a massive disadvantage in a fight.

I will like to ask the question of how Pinkie's filter faces and balloons work, as I feel like those are the deciding factors here.
 
Pinkie's filter faces and balloons work
So uh, the scan is on the profile. She just makes a paper cutout appear on the opponent's face. Useful for a short while but it'll get old eventually

There's actually something more dangerous in her arsenal. Pinkie's Clairvoyance/Pinkie Sense basically borders to precog. Explained here, it is usable in combat and can help immensely in either dodging or trying to blow her opponent up

I'm assuming these are the filter faces?

Also, isn't Theory comparable to people like Dexter Lumis, who has a Sixth Sense that allows him to dodge while blindfolded?

Also, he's comparable in skill to other WWE characters who were able to fight in the dark, so while filter faces will catch Theory off-guard initially, it won't help in the long run.

Also, I just realized that Pinkie shooting balloons comes from her Low Multiversal key, so I don't think it can be used here.

That is by far Pinkie's most useful ability, and it will help circumvent the extremely noticeable skill disadvantage a fair bit.

He’s comparable to Lumis, but that doesn’t mean he could replicate this feat inherently, the same applies with people who can fight in the dark. His skill compared to them when they can both see isn’t relevant in the discussion of how he copes blindfolded
 
Though it does seem like Pinkie Sense and Explosions are Pinkie's main win cons.

Balloons are only used in her Low Multiversal key, and filter faces doesn't help in the long term, whether or not you agree that Theory can replicate things other wrestlers do, despite being comparable to them in skill.
 
There’s no real way to adapt to being blindfolded in such a short period of time though, it’s a momentum stopper at worst
