Yeah, agree with OP.

Anyways, not sure if this is supernatural luck or just speed, but an accurate rifleman missed Ernest from close to point blank range three times in a row. Not to mention Ernest seems to be more versatile

 

[Armorchompy]

Speed's equalized, and luck isn't on his profile

 

[DaReaperMan]

Well this is quite an Ernest match!

 

[MistaClean]

Hmmm.....

Ernest appears to have the AP advantage.

Sterlok has shit-tons more items on him and outranges Ernest but I'm not sure he can carry all that Standard Equipment as he doesn't have the lifting strength or the way to carry them all without dimensional storage.

Both have weapon mastery so it should be pretty even.

Sterlok also has Enhanced Senses and Forcefield Creation which would help in the fight.

I'm leaning towards Ernest high-diff for having martial arts, variety, pain tolerance and teleportation which would even out the range difference

 

[Armorchompy]

Lemme just tag @Oleggator

Ernest's weapon mastery isn't explained so I'd expect the military man to be more skilled in that regard. Martial Arts don't really matter since EPW oneshots anyway.

 

[MistaClean]

Ernest also has slight military training but Strelok does seem to be more skilled, although he only has (Knife, guns) as his weapon mastery explanation. But tbf I never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so I'm just going off the profile

 

[Oleggator]

Ok I woke up.

Holy crap that's something interesting.

To point out, despite of Strelok probably missing with sniper rifle because of what I've seen higher. He still have grenades, Grenade launcher and RPG on his hand, which even if it wouldn't hit Ernest directly, would leave an explosive damage. Plus Strelok should definitely having more skill and basically intelligence to take advantages. Ernest seems to be below average in intelligence.

Considering he actualy met once the mutants that can't be damaged with only single gun or which had some sort of defense with themselves (Burer for instance (you can look at this guy's abilities below "Call of Pripyat" paragraph), Strelok would definitely go to use more effective weaponary for defense.

Oh, and considering both are 5 meters apart and fight is at night, Strelok can use Shotguns, which have more accuracy in close quarters and night vision which would let him see more than Ernest.

I think I'll vote for Strelok since he have pretty much bigger advantage in intelligence, skill and if rifles wouldn't be effective, he can go to explosives.

 

[Armorchompy]

It's a fairly bright night, it's not too hard to see

Minus one advantage, I guess, but still other options should be fine.

 

[DontTalkDT]

Hmmm... Strelok could take advantage of the low intelligence, but then Ernest can probably take a few hits and would in return only need to get a single hit in to win. Considering his teleportation he probably is able to do that.

Unless Strelok has good showings of taking advantage of people with low intelligence, I think Ernest takes this due to stats and teleportation.

 

[Armorchompy]

Is that in character for him? Using teleportation in combat, usually cartoony characters don't use their abilities in combat.

 

[Armorchompy]

Wait I just checked the scan I'm stupid.

Although idk if that looks like teleporation to me

I mean, good amount of mutants are kind of not so intelligent and rather like animals, with which Strelok takes enough good advantage.

 

[DontTalkDT]

I don't really know the character, but Ernest doesn't seem to be quite as stupid as an animal.

 

[Oleggator]

I don't really know the character, but Ernest doesn't seem to be quite as stupid as an animal.

At some sort, but that shouldn't make him too unpredictable, especially when he doesn't take threat series and as shown above can even get scared of a gun(?)

He's around Homer Simpson level

 

[DontTalkDT]

I mean, unpredictable, no. However, it's not like he needs to be unpredictable to win. He can take the very predictable action of teleport + punch to do so.
IMO The only thing that might stand between him and victory is the possibility of Strelok abusing his stupidity to get an advantage.

 

[Armorchompy]

I don't really have an opinion on the match itself but looking at the characters, again, I'm not 100% sure the teleportation scan is teleportation and not just Stealth Mastery.

I mean Strelok can just go straight to explosives which are should be enough effective.

 

[DontTalkDT]

He could, but will he?
And while they are effective, they would still need a few more hits to kill, wouldn't they?

I can just go by what's on the profile tbh. Then again, if it's stealth mastery of the extent that he completely disappears like that, would it make a difference?

 

[Oleggator]

I mean, if he's really not so good at combat that's his profile even notes how he can take problem not seriously, that should tell something.

I mean he did that to someone who was right in front of him, Strelok will likely keep his distance.

 

[DaReaperMan]

I love how nobody caught my pun lol

 

[Armorchompy]

i think we did and just didn't comment on it

 

[SamanPatou]

I think Strelok would win.

Ernest might have the stats advantage and useful abilities such as teleport, luck, regen etc. but he also seems very stupid and prone to lose time, joke with his opponents and other weird things such as not trying to avoid being shot (going by the profiles and the gif above); he is willing to kill, but being in-character also seems to prevent it to some extent.

On the other hand Strelok has higher skill, experience and a better mindset (this dude apparently survived for a long time in a place filled with monsters and other armed people) on top of several ranged and close weapons (even assuming he doesn't carry all of them) and should be able to use them and the environment to his advantage and gun Ernest down.

Ernest has several ways to win, but I don't see him taking a victory most of the times.

 

[GoldenScorpions]

While Saman's arguments makes sense, what's keeping me from calling Strelok a winner is that Ernest can take a serious beating before going down, which might be enough for his versatility and unpredictability to win him the fight.

I mean he can, but it probably will take for a while, at least based on the fact that this weakness is noted in profile should tell something.

Strelok can very likely go for a explosives and take other environmental, skill advantages earlier.

 

[Armorchompy]

It's worth mentioning that 9-C pistols can significantly hurt a 9-B character. Although EPW does have regen.

 

[GoldenScorpions]

Bump

 

[MistaClean]

So thats 3 for Ernest and 2 for Sterlock i think

 

[Armorchompy]

bump

 

[Armorchompy]

(also please just make it clear if a post is a vote)

 

[DontTalkDT]

In case it wasn't clear I vote Ernest. I think his stupidity won't sabotage himself so hard that he would lose with the advantages he has.

 

[GoldenScorpions]

Since Strelok can't possible carry everything in his equipment, what does he actually have here?

 

[Oleggator]

At least his 9-B equipment aka Grenade Launcher and RPG
Grenades.
Few rifles, such as Combat Chaser and IL 86

 

[GoldenScorpions]

I would to invite everyone to check Ernest's durability and AP feats, because none of them seem like 9-B feats. Tell me if I'm wrong and one of them is.
