Boros vs Garou

[FateAlbane]

Battle of the OPM villains! One said they would be evenly matched, but really, who wins in the end?

Takes place on Earth.

Context: Sometime after his defeat at the hands of Saitama, Boros somehow comes back to life and gains the knowledge that the actual opponent he was supposed to face was Garou, not Saitama.

Saitama is busy doing... Whatever everyday thing he plans to do at the time.

Meanwhile, confronted by lord Boros who wants his match, Garou believes this is a good chance to evolve even more. The battle is about to explode.


Rules: Both in character. Boros starts unsealed and Garou is in Monster form. Who wins and why?

 

[FateAlbane]

Bump.

 

[Cropfist]

Garou wins by adapting to his attacks.

 

[Battlemania]

"ONE: Garou vs Boros, who would win, you ask? Before (pre-monster Garou), it was quite obvious Boros was ways above him. But now that Garou has basically become the perfect monster, it is hard to tell who would win, it would've been one hell of a battle. I do believe that Garou is stronger in close combat, where he would simply dodge all punches and kicks"- ONE's statement about Boros vs Saitama

In CQC, Garou wins (derp)

However, Boros has projectiles which can even out the planefield (or destroy it)


Going with Boros high difficulty due to regen plus distance advantage.

 

[CA_spiderman]

garou due to his close combat not to mention he can just keep evolving until he becomes stronger than boros

 

[Huesito88]

Yeah but that got burned out from the fight with Saitama his adaption has limits and when it's burned out he gets weaker

 

[FateAlbane]

So, 2 for Boros (Battlemania, Huesito88) and 2 for Garou (Cropfist, CA spiderman) so far.

 

[Spartan1204]

Garou for the reasons above.

 

[Edwellken]

In character Boros will likely rush in at first giving Garou the initial lead, but by virtue of his regen and not being a total idiot he'll probably fall back when that doesn't work and end up using his greater range to his advantage. I'm going with Boros here after a difficult fight.

There's also the chance of Garou getting kicked to the moon if he lets his guard down, and I can't see that ending as well for him as it did for Saitama.

 

[Battlemania]

Remember, it doesn't necessarily have to be the moon, it can just be into space, the sun (with constant speed), which would result in BFR

 

[KillitwithC4]

I'll go for Boros with high difficulty, he'll be caught off guard with Garou's advantage in h2h combat, and his regen will save him and get away for some space. After a long drawn out battle, he'll eventually use his planet busting attack to finish off Garou, he'll either dies from the blast, or suffocates in space.

 

[Edwellken]

Remember, it doesn't necessarily have to be the moon, it can just be into space, the sun (with constant speed), which would result in BFR

True, but I felt the claim would be more credible if I stated what had already been done, and in character Boros might choose to kick him to the moon just like he did Saitama. (There's no way it was just a coincidence.)

Regardless, it'll be a loss for Garou.

 

[Battlemania]

I feel like it was coincidence since it was the closest object that he could jump back from, so it was possibly for special effect for ONE to do it.


Out of topic, yeah, but my stance still remains, just adding BFR.

 

[Spartan1204]

Garou was launched by Saitama, yet Garou still managed to come back down to Earth. Also Garou's reactive evolution would eventually lead Garou to becoming stronger and faster than Boros.

 

[FateAlbane]

Ok, so far that makes it 4 for Boros and 3 for Garou.

Boros: 4 (Battlemania, Huesito88, KillitwithC4, Edwellken)

Garou: 3 (Cropfist, CA Spiderman, Spartan1204)

 

[Delta3000]

Garou. due to his adaption, assuming Boros doesn't kick him into the sun which is the only thing he definitly wouldn't be able to adapt to.

 

[FateAlbane]

Boros: 4 (Battlemania, Huesito88, KillitwithC4, Edwellken)

Garou: 4 (Cropfist, CA Spiderman, Spartan1204, Delta3000)

 

[KingJordz]

ONE stated in an interview Monster Garou would beat Boros in close combat or to be precise, said he's stronger than him. Assuming Boros keeps his distance then he has a chance but Garou can close that gap with speed and adaptability. I'd go with Garou with this one.

 

[Huesito88]

To be fair garou is all melee his punches are planet level with his strongest move while Boros punches are not even moon level so garou is going to dominate but Boros regen and his roaring canon should give him the win plus he could always bfr garou of course that would risk getting close but he might have to do it if garou gets him in to do melee causes that's the only way that he is winning in close combat.

 

[KingJordz]

@Huesito88

Garou has Regen too bro. He regenerated his right arm in an instant after Saitama launched a "Serious Headbutt".

Anyways, Let us compare Garou's durability to Boros'. He tanked a normal punch combo by Saitama whereas Boros just splattered into blood. Saitama was forced to use "Two handed" normal punch combo, which is logically far more devastating than the single handed one against Boros, and all it did was break Garou's right horn. Garou tanked it and got right back up like the greatness of a character he is. Garou has more impressive durablity feats than Boros and adaptation makes him even more the beast.

 

[Huesito88]

Ok let's compare the effort Saitama put in. In the fight against Boros Saitama was trying to kill Boros. Against garou Saitama didn't want to kill him. Garou adaption is good but how will it help in this fight Boros can't hurt garou with melee attacks since their not even moon level so what is adaption going to do adapt to a attack that won't hurt garou. Garou can't adapt to being bfr. He is going to die after he gets hit by a full powered star roaring canon so adaption isn't going to help their enless Boros does a weak version of it and constantly spams it to the point where garou could adapt to it but a full powered one no. Plus his adaption got burned out from the fight with Saitama so it has limits so overall garou adaption shouldn't be useful here. I know garou has regen though not as good as Boros.

 

[Huesito88]

Ok well Saitama was trying to kill Boros but not instantly he obvousily wanted some fun but he did try to kill him of course Boros had regen other wise he would have died much earlier

 

[KingJordz]

@Huesito88

A weaker version of Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon is just speculation. Boros used it like a last resort type of attack. In character, he is less than likely to initiate it right off the bat.

"In the fight against Boros Saitama was trying to kill Boros" To a certain degree yes. Saitama wanted to prolong the fight however, so that Boros can go all out and enjoy the brawl. He wanted to satisfy his desire and when that was done he ended up killing him.

I do agree that Collapsing Star is the deciding factor in Boros' favor. Though remember, Saitama was motionless whereas Garou would constantly be on the move, closing the marginal distance between the two of them. There is the likelihood of Garou attacking him while he charges up the attack.

Garou's regen is more impressive going by durability feats since he was able enough to regen from a "Serious" attack.

 

[KingJordz]

His adaptability does not just include transformations, it allows him to read an opponents techniques and movements so much so that he is able to whip up a counter attack.

 

[Spartan1204]

Boros: 4 (Battlemania, Huesito88, KillitwithC4, Edwellken)

Garou: 5 (Cropfist, CA Spiderman, Spartan1204, Delta3000, KingJordz)

 

[Burstchaos]

I can't see Garou overcoming Boros' Regenerationn but I also don't see Boros overcoming Garou's adaptability, it comes down to whether Boros' trump card can kill Garou or not. Boros in a very close match.

 

[Ryukama]

Boros would definitely have greater combat experience, though Garou has much more refined skill and by WoG would have an advantage in close quarters.

Garou can also gradually increase his stats, can adapt to Boros's fighting style to come up with counters, and has Regenerationn (which while not nearly as high as Boros's, could help make him somewhat harder to put down. Along with his regen not being reliant on his energy like Boros)

Also Boros can sense people's power levels. Realizing that Garou is on par with him if not slightly superior would likely trigger him to go all out at first, which could wear him down later on.

I'm giving this Garou.

 

[RadicalMrR]

I give it to Boros for reasons above.

 

[Spartan1204]

Boros: 6 (Battlemania, Huesito88, KillitwithC4, Edwellken, Burstchaos, RadicalMrR)

Garou: 6 (Cropfist, CA Spiderman, Spartan1204, Delta3000, KingJordz, Ryukama)

 

[Bleuburd]

I go with Boros. Garou's Power is Adaptation (translate: Evolution), Boros' Power is Transcending the limits of living creatures (translate: Beyond Evolution). True in CQC Garou may have the advantage in skill, but skill can only take you so far, especially if you're fighting against an enemy who causes collateral damage to the environment through sheer air friction. I'll take a quote from Boros himself, "In seconds I can close a wound that would kill you. Concentrating energy in my destroyed arm generates explosive healing.......and it's brand new! Meanwhile, your wounds gradually increase......as you gradually weak--". Also i'll just add, Garou being more durable does not mean that he is also stronger.

 

[Raito_Utopia]

Garou wins with high diff for reasons above

 

[FateAlbane]

Huh, I stopped receiving notifications for this thread. Didn't know it was still going.

Boros: 7 (Battlemania, Huesito88, KillitwithC4, Edwellken, Burstchaos, RadicalMrR, Bleuburd)

Garou: 7 (Cropfist, CA Spiderman, Spartan1204, Delta3000, KingJordz, Ryukama, Raito Utopia)

 

[Delta3000]

@bleuburd

Garou's evolution would make him get stronger throughout the fight; besides Boros contradicted himself by saying his power was due to his species winning the evolutionary lottery.

 

[NoobishLOLOL]

Garou monster form can adapt to Boros' style in a fraction of a second. For reasons above, I'm going with Garou.

 

[Bleuburd]

@bleuburd

Are you saying that Garou's power breaks the NLF rule? You make it sound like he could just get stronger and stronger endlessly, I think you forgot how he lost to Saitama in the first place (his adaptive ability couldn't adapt anymore) or what state he's in after the fight (he was worn out, meaning long and hard fights do take its toll on his body). IIRC in the manga its actually shown that his evolution can't bridge too big a gap that well, Garou said it himself, had he faced LSF earlier, meaning before he has gained sufficient stats to actually survive and evolve he would've lost. Also remember that Garou's power is evolution, first he has to survive(in Saitama's case even though Garou managed to survive at some point it just stopped), you can't evolved from death.

 

[Delta3000]

No all i said was that it would make him stronger. that big gap was Saitama who btw overpowered roaring cannon and killed boros with a single serious punch (showing that his regen has limits) and Garou tanked multiple serious punches so i find it unlikely that boros could wear out Garou's evolution before Garou kills him.

Durability=/=Strength. Garou may have the better durability feats, but Boros is stronger by feats, his attacks actually does something to Saitama (like sending him to the moon), Garou on the other hand despite landing solid blows to Saitama does not produce equal results, even with his flashy martial arts. Also in Meteoric burst Boros actually managed to be "faster" than Saitama (the casual Saitama), he actually somewhat blitzed Saitama, Garou has no such feats, although i'd admit that despite Boros being arguably faster garou would still have the advantage in H2H combat.

 

[Delta3000]

No he isn't, neither of them hurt saitama in any way even Boros sending Saitama to the moon did nothing except show that Saitama can't survive long in space; so we cannot use it as a mesurement (unless you have proof). They are both h2h fighters (though boros has a ranged ability) so Garou has an advantage, so as long as he doesn't let Boros slip away and unleash his roar he wins this.

 

[Cropfist]

 

[Delta3000]

I see so Boros does have an AP advantage but this doesn't discount Garou's superiour h2h skill (in a martial art designed to redirect attacks) especially since boros has the lower durability of the two, as i previously mentioned.
