Child's Play: Chucky's Durability

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

Simple. Chucky's 9-C durability doesn't make that much sense.

Durability: At least Street level (Can survive being stabbed, shot, and set on fire)

My problem with this is that he doesn't exactly tank these. Him surviving these aren't really a durability thing, more of a showing of his type 2 Immortality and stamina. So I think it should be removed entirely, or we give proper reasoning to it.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Extremely fair. I support the removal or replacement by a more suitable thing. What're you suggesting he be downgraded to?

If we don't find a proper replacement for 9-C durability, his durability would likely be even with his AP, 10-B.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Fair enough. Still seconded.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Seems reasonable

 

[Roachman40]

looks good

 

[Foxthefox1000]

The verse definitely needs to go through some changes. Especially given the show has one doll performing some insane feats like punching through a guy

If we don't find a proper replacement for 9-C durability, his durability would likely be even with his AP, 10-B.

He has been hit by a speeding car before, but coupled with his size and weight this might not even reach 9-C.

It is worth looking into though.

I month or two ago I've done some personal research on Child's Play by reading this comic series, and I found some feats that could get Chucky fully to Tier 9.

Thing is though, no idea if it is canon to the films.

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

• Beheaded two women with a single kitchen knife slash.
• Was fine after being shot with a shotgun, which also smashed him through a wall.
• Was also fine when this woman hit him so hard that he left this giant dent in a hospital door, and then killed her via strangulation.
• Shattered a portion of a windshield by throwing his knife at it, and then survives being smashed into a brick wall by the car he was on.

There is also this other comic called "Hack/Slash vs. Chucky", where at the end, he was bitten by a crocodile and the next time we see him, he was fine. Just like the other comic, no clue if this is canon and haven't really found a proper source that says so.

 

[Propellus]

I wouldn't use stuff from comics if there's no evidence that they're canon.

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

Fair. That shotgun one is also contradicted by the films. In Curse of Chucky, he was shot in the head by Andy with a shotgun, but not only was his head blown off, but a good portion of his head was gone. Although I guess you can argue that he was amped by Damballa in the comics, like how he suggested in the tv show.

 

[Propellus]

I could've sworn Chucky had more anti-feats, it's been a while since I've last seen his movies

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

Chucky is usually shown to be on par with humans a lot in the main canon, way more consistently than that Tier 9 comic stuff. Not really sure if that can be considered an anti-feat if it happens as consistently with Chucky.

Also doesn't help that the majority of his kills are done with him catching them off guard, while wielding weapons that would be 9-C if carried by a normal person anyway (I.E. Knives, axes and baseball bats).

That's true at least.

Also doesn't help that the majority of his kills are done with him catching them off guard, while wielding weapons that would be 9-C if carried by a normal person anyway (I.E. Knives, axes and baseball bats).

Not only that, but some people just stand there and let him kill them.

 

[Propellus]

And also, about Chucky having subsonic reaction speed which implies he can dodge gunfire, I don't recall him being able to do that all. So that should be removed.

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

He does dodge a dude's bullets during the first movie. But at the same time, across the franchise and later on in the first film, he fails to dodge bullets. One of them being from the same gun that he dodged previously.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Consistency would rule over individual feats, rendering the singular feat an outlier. If he consistently shows an inability to dodge a bullet, the first one is just a false showing.

 

[Propellus]

He does get tagged by people a lot and mostly fails to blitz children, so that feat is definitely an outlier

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

For this CRT, is it okay to apply the changes now, or wait for more people to give their takes?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Acceptable to pass through. Go ham.

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

Went ahead to apply the changes to his durability. Also removed the Subsonic reactions bit since, going off the comments here, it was just as questionable as the 9-C durability.

If removing the reactions bit wasn't necessary, I can revert that edit, or it can be properly settled in its own thread.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Yeeeeah while that rating may be questionable it isn't acceptable to just start removing undiscussed things. I don't mind doing that here, but you can't just delete it without any talk whatsoever.

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

Alright. I'll put it back.
