However there are some advantages that CH still has:
- Mastery of pressure points.
- Knowledge of every fictional story ever conceived.
- Slightly faster running speed.
- Immensely superior to Baldi in general athletic ability, agility, combat speed, general knowledge regarding weaponry/combat techniques, stamina, or combat in general.
Because of this:
- CH has already mastered any kind of technique that Baldi could use, in and out. They could compare Baldi's ruler to already existing weaponry such as swords or bo staves, and use that knowledge to predict what Baldi would do. Baldi's meter stick is most likely going to break at some point.
- Baldi is going to have a very difficult time landing the one blow that he needs to win.
- CH not only knows any kind of attack Baldi could do, but everything about Baldi's character, period. And as a master strategist and fighter, CH will be able to find some way to play around all of his advantages to an extent that borders on mind-reading.
- Pressure points give CH a way to play around Baldi's durability to some extent, although it may take a bit more effort and force to take advantage of them.
The verdict:
Baldi only needs to land one good hit in order to win, but Composite Human outclasses Baldi in literally everything else. Speed, Knowledge of the opponent, mastery of every single fighting technique known to man, possession of every single talent known to mankind, etc., and that means Baldi is going to have a very hard time landing the hit. His ruler is most likely going to be broken at some point, and CH has the potential to play around the AP and Dura gap.
Let me start with this.
Yes, CH has the skill to dodge a maths teacher swinging his ruler. But you know what happens when you dodge an angry guy trying to hit you with a ruler? He gets angrier. Especially when this same character gets bloodlusted just by you getting a maths question wrong.
As soon as Baldi starts to get seriously angry, he will get seriously faster. This shouldn't just be movement speed either; his swings and attacks will get a lot faster. And remember; one hit and the CH goes down.
There's no reason why Baldi's ruler will break in the middle of battle. This is based off of nothing. CH certainly won't be breaking his ruler directly; you already argued against that. He can one-shot characters who can no-sell attacks that are far beyond the CH's AP without his ruler suddenly snapping.
Pressure points would require the CH to be able to get close which is already hard against an increasingly angrier Baldi that outranges them by just under a metre, give or take. Even then, they won't make up entirely for the massive durability gap.
CH having knowledge of all fictional verses won't help much here. We assume that CH will have no knowledge of Baldi or his verse, and Baldi's supernatural abilities should catch the CH off-guard regardless.
So the only thing that CH has is an advantage in skill. The speed gap gets heavily tilted in Baldi's favour as soon as he starts getting angrier. Pressure point attacks are likely too risky due to Baldi's already existing advantage in range. Plus the CH is likely to underestimate the average-looking Baldi and decide to block his attacks or try to disarm him (both of which would lead to the CH being easily and quickly overpowered) or go for a direct hit (which would leave him susceptible to a single hit from Baldi. That's all it takes).
