Bowser VS Rasalom

[MrKingOfNegativity]

I don't know why I'm doing this one.

Speed is equalized, High 4-C versions, battle takes place in Bowser's Castle, with combatants starting at opposite ends of his throne room.

Otherwise SBA.

Bowser: 0

Rasalom: 0

Inconclusive: 0

>Bowser's abilites aren't split up by keys

[MrKingOfNegativity]

I was wondering about that.

 

[GyroNutz]

Only things Bowser doesn't have is stuff exclusive to Dreamy Bowser. So "Dream Manipulation, Black Hole Creation and Duplication". Although Bowser has duplication through other means.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Ah. Makes sense.

 

[DMUA]

He also doesn't have plot hax or other crazy shenanigans so

How does he deal with Rasalom slamming him all over the place with TK?

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Out of all the lethal powers Rasalom has, your first argument is TK?

 

[DMUA]

I mean wasn't that the thing he does in character?

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

One of the things, yeah. The others were paralysis and passively causing all light within his immediate area to disappear. And madness-haxing anyone who so much as looks at his eyes.

 

[DMUA]

I think he resists the former from his RPG incarnations, but dunno what he has as per darkness. And I think the only thing in Mario that really qualifies for Eldritch nightmare sauce is Dimento which High 4-C Bowser never had to deal with. In fact I don't think even 2-B Bowser ever went to deal with it.

 

[GyroNutz]

There's Shadow Quee, but yeah, Bowser never dealt with her iirc. Since we consider Paper Bowser to be the same as normal Bowser tho, and since Bowser was one of the heroes, he did encounter Dimentio tho

Ras' madness manipulation seems super potent from what I've heard from you.

Don't know if gender-bent Bowsette has a proper counter for that is it gets used.

 

[Jinsye]

Bowser has plot hax in base assuming he has the rod.

 

[Wokistan]

What can Bowser Junior's dad do with it?

 

[Jinsye]

Well apparently this

I dunno how he lost to Mario with that but he can do that.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

@Azzy: It's pretty serious, yeah.

Magda took one look into his eyes and almost lost her mind within seconds due to the sheer amount of darkness and evil behind them, and was also flat out unable to look away due to a forced compulsion. The only reason she didn't make it past the point of no return is because Dr. Cuza caught Rasalom's attention and got him to turn away.

I think I posted the quote of that in an old thread a long time ago. Let me find it.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Found what I was looking for.

Cool.
In the meantime, here's a couple of those quotes on what looking into his eyes does to people.

But it was the eyes, gripping Magda more fiercely than the icy hand on her arm, killing off her wailing cry and stilling her frantic struggles. The eyes. Large and round, cold and crystalline, the pupils dark holes into a chaos beyond reason, beyond reality itself, black as a night sky that had never been blued by the sun or marred by the light of moon and stars. The surrounding irises were almost as dark, dilating as she watched, widening the twin doorways, drawing her into the madness beyond... ...madness. The madness was so attractive. It was safe, it was serene, it was isolated. It would be so good to pass through and submerge herself in those dark pools... so good... No! Magda fought the feeling, fought to push herself away. But ... why fight? life was nothing but disease and misery, a struggle that everyone eventually lost. What was the use? Nothing you did really mattered in the long run. Why bother? She felt a swift undertow, almost irresistible, drawing her toward those eyes. There was lust there, for her, but a lust that went beyond the mere sexual, a lust for all that she was. She felt herself turn and lean toward those twin doorways of black. It would be so easy to let go... ... she held on, something within her refusing to surrender, urging her to fight the current. But it was so strong, and she felt so tired, and what did it all matter, anyway? A sound ... music ... and yet not music at all. A sound in her mind, all that music was not ... non-melodic, disharmonic, a delirious cacophony of discord that rattled and shook and sent tiny cracks through the feeble remainder of her will. The world around her—everything—began to fade, leaving only the eyes ... only the eyes... ... she wavered, teetering on the edge of forever... ... then she heard Papa's voice. Magda clutched at the sound, clung to it like a rope, pulled herself hand over hand along its length. Papa was not calling to her, was not even speaking in Romanian, but it was his voice, the only familiar thing in the chaos about her. The eyes turned away. Magda was free. The hand released her.''
	~ The Keep​

So much as looking at his eyes for longer than the briefest moment caused her to start losing control of her mind very quickly, and also made it so that she couldn't look away.

The next guy got lucky, since he almost instinctively looked away the instant he saw them.

Rafe smiled and suddenly the lights began to dim. "I'd dearly love to show you," Rafe said. "But it doesn't serve my purpose at the moment. However, I will grant you a brief glimpse." The room grew darker and colder, as if some hidden vortex were sucking all the heat and light from the room. And then the black swooped in, a darkness so perfect that Bill's nervous system screamed as direction went awry, as up and down lost all meaning. But this was not a quiet darkness, not a simple absence of light; this was a devouring of light. A living blackness, a slithering, shuffling, shambling, hungry blackness, ravenous not for his flesh but for his soul, his essence, his very being. As Bill dropped to his knees and hugged the floor, digging his fingers into the pile to keep from tumbling toward the ceiling, a noxious grave-born odor seeped into his nostrils, caressed his tongue—sour, acrid, moist, carrying a hint of putrescence—gagging him. And then he saw the eyes, hovering before him. Huge, round, the whites like glazed porcelain, the irises crystalline black, but not nearly as black as the bottomless sinkholes into infinity at their center. From those pupils there radiated such palpable malevolence that Bill had to turn away, squeeze his eyes shut to shield himself from the beckoning madness. And just as suddenly there was light beyond his lids. He opened his eyes. The living room was lit again. He gasped for air. What had just happened? Had he been hypnotized somehow—or was that the real Rafe?
	~ Reprisal​

I think there's one other quote involving his presence (when his power isn't suppressed or restricted) being so overwhelmingly evil that it can drive a person off their feet, and it comes from his vastly weaker 9-B form that had been depowered and starved for several centuries.

Bowser has plot hax in base assuming he has the rod.

This is High 4-C and Star Rod is a Paper Mario thing, IE, 2-B

 

[Jinsye]

No

Paper Mario Bowser isn't 2-B

Dreamy Bowser is 2-B

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

Paper Mario is only 2-B with the Pure Hearts, which were from Super Paper Mario.

[MrKingOfNegativity]

RIP you.

[Schnee_One]

What's Bowsers leading move? If he even has one?

 

[Eficiente]

Fireballs from distance.

 

[Schnee_One]

Genderbest Blwzette goes mad then

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

I just remembered that SBA puts them at 4KM or so. Meant to set a distance myself when I made this.

Fixing that.

 

[Eficiente]

If you put them close Bowser may do.. something. Or not.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

They're within the same room now.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Bump

 

[Christian_Higdon]

Bowser opens the book. What can Rassolam do now? If nothing, he's getting sealed in there.

 

[Schnee_One]

Rasalom looks at Bowser and he's paralyzed

 

[Christian_Higdon]

I see. Holding off this match.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Boondocks Tom Flips Out!!!!

 

[Wokistan]

Yeah I don't really know either one very well, but I don't really see a way for bowser to get around paralysis.

 

[DMUA]

... are we absolutely sure he never resisted it in Mario RPG
