Butters Brackets: Round 12 Deathstroke vs Bonsly

I'm voting DS, intellect, massive skill advantage being weird anatomically doesn't change this, info analysis, and can close the distance and beat up Bonsly before it can activate all its buffs and debuffs that it might not even lead with + it wouldn't neg explosives or DS's own amps he gets from his armor absorbing KE.
 
I doubt pierce damage would work when he ends up scaling to something Bonsly can tank, that borders on NLF.

It probably would effect the gun, it effects weapons as I said before and it effects purely mechanical beings such as Klink.
 
Stat debuffs working on Genesect seem more like game mechanics if anything to be honest. Also I don't even think Bonsly would lead with immediate stat amps and Tearful Look four times in a row against him. He's a wild animal with nobody guiding his actions thats also considered naive so he might not do what he has to do to possibly take the advantage before DS can blow him up or knock it out.
 
Im genuinely curious why you think stat reduction wouldnt work on Genesect when it works on things more inanimate than Genesect
 
How is it game mechanics?

Bonsly is almost always under the guise of crying, tearful look is just as the name suggests, looking at the opponent tearfully. It should happen almost immediately.

Bonsly may be wild, but he isn't necessarily an idiot (few Pokémon are.) and like most Pokémon (especially a high level one like this hypothetical Bonsly.) would have plenty of fight experience. Would have gotten into plenty of fight against a variety of opponents and would know how to fight with what he can do by then.

He also probably resist explosives since the only 2 explosive moves are Normal.

Ehh. Not really at all no. If they scale around the same level, pierce damage can break through higher durability. It would be NLF if he was like Way way way more durable. But if they are in the same degree of power, then pierce damage can break through.
 
But it isn't at the same level, bonsly scales to tanking .62, Slade's AP is gonna be less then that after being looked at 4 times. So yeah it is.

I mean Genesect exists but okay

That's physically apart of him from the looks, as well comes from his own power. A gun works very differently to that. It comes from ammo separate from the gun itself, and is just being propelled by the gun.
 
Genesect's cannon was artificially grafted onto its back by Team Plasma, its not a part of its body
 
It is mechanical and just attached to him as Genesect is just mechanical. It has been shown to work in purely robotic machines and weapons, even gun like weapons. What more evidence do you need Butter?
 
@potato Genesect isnt completely mechanical, its a biological entity in a mechanical suit of armor
 
Even if it does work. Pierce damage still exists. And he ain't so durable that it wouldn't pierce

Especially adding on the sheer skill, experience, and arsenal deathstroke has
 
Skill is balanced out by how different Bonsly is to anything Slade tends to deal with. Also the massive stat gap balances it out even more, slade will struggle to hurt him due to being far weaker and 4 times slower. That isn't even getting into sucker punch up close and flinching to hurt him even more.

Bonsly also has a massive arsenal of moves and can copy any of Deathy's with copycat.
 
I mean he wouldn't try much melee attacking considering the range they start at. Bonsly also doesn't open up being that much stronger. Nothing stops deathstroke from popping bullets into them before they can use that move that, not to mention of idea of them getting the best outcome of up to 4 times. Deathstroke keeps a distance and uses guns. Bonsly would have to approach. He doesn't start this weak, and he isn't really going to get this weak. By the time they try and use it once, Slade would already be on the attack. Plus Bonsly doesn't start in range to use that move. Even if he did. Guns. Pierce damage.

How different bonsly is definitely doesn't make the gal in skill magically go away. Bonsly May attack different, but still dies like any other person he has killed. And he is in the word of DC. These kinds of powers aren't even really odd.
 
Looking at him is quicker then shooting if slade can see bonsly then he can be effected by a move triggered by seeing him (Tearful look.) at long range with equal speed, Bonsly can dodge anyway and get into range easily.

Also after the debuffs go through, bullets aren't going to work. Bonsly tanks stuff stronger then post Tearful Look Death Stroke, so it is a stretch at best that bullets will work when he can't hurt him.
 
He also could mimic the shots with copycat, negating the range advantage.

Also he doesn't die like anything else has dealt with and has tools radically different then what slade deals with. He can summon rock, copy anything he can do, and even punch without arms for god's sake. He also has the aforementioned stat advantage after landing hits, reducing the impact of his skill.
 
Ehh no. That completely ignores anything Slade can do. He can no get into range easily. Slade literally will be shooting at him with bullets Far Fat tougher than him. Long range doesn't work cause Slade has longer than he with guns. Saying he can dodge and get into range easily is seriously downplaying Slades gun skills. Especially since at this point, he isn't even debuffed. His gun skills will work just the same on bonsly cause he is shooting and predicting their movement. Like any other opponent

And that's wrong. Pierce damage laughs and says no. You again are ignore the piercing part of the bullets. It's not blunt damage. Not to mention. For the first part of the fight. He won't be debuffed at all.
 
Actually Bonsly has an IQ skill that makes it so that any moves that miss cause it to instinctively put distancce between itself and its opponent

Also Bonsly has an IQ skill that makes its basic attacks never miss
 
His gun skills don't make the bullets go faster and again IQ skills (I forget how we ignore the composite rule for Pokémon. Time to look at the TCG.)

Again if slade can see him, then he will get debuffed, causing the bullets to fail soon after.
 
Still not gonna hit cause not in range. Bonsly doesn't start in range. And Slades got automatic weapons to keep yo the fire and overwhelm
 
Mimic and Copycat are things

Also Bonsly has multiple ranged attacks as well as attacks like Rock Tomb that will slow Slade down considerably
 
Slade will get weakened to the point of not hurting him if he looks at him though. Bonsly can fire back with Mimic and Copycat and Counter with Counter.

Range Spamming won't work if he barely does damage do to Tearful look.
 
Reminder that Bonsly will quadruple its speed in time, even if its not in range it will get in range fast, or use its newfound speed to bolster defenses faster.

Would have to be in range again to actually use those abilities. Which he isn't in range to do.

Like I said, Rock Polish will remedy this.
