Down to the bones! (Papyrus vs Dry Bones) (6-7-0)

[koopa3144]

Might write a story for this later.

• Fight takes place in a Ghost House
• Distance is 10 meters
• Dry Bones has wings and all Optional Equipment except the Ally Phone (3-C summoning would be a tad bit unfair)
• Speed is equalized
• SBA for anything else

THE GREAT PAPYRUS: 6	Bone Turtle: 7	Revenant (Incon): 0

Spoiler: The Soundtrack

What does the Koopa start with?

What does the Koopa start with?

Without Optional Equipment they usually start with bone throwing. With equipment they probably start with getting into one of their karts or using their MPS items.

Can the intangibility protect it from SOUL hax?

I'm not sure. iirc the Magic Orb's intangibility works on the likes of Mario who have NPI but I'm probably remembering wrong.

how does dry bone petrification works exactly? tough i am going more into papyrus for his soul hax and gravity manip

I played Mario Party DS before and from what I can tell it happened off-screen, meaning we don't even know if it's combat applicable.

 

[StrymULTRA]

I'm not sure. iirc the Magic Orb's intangibility works on the likes of Mario who have NPI but I'm probably remembering wrong.

The Magic Orb is an orb in Mario Party 7 that can only be used by Boo and Dry Bones. When used, it doubles the number rolled on the Dice Block and turns the character invisible, allowing it to bypass all roadblock traps on the board.

Yeah, it'll work on Papyrus, but for a short amount of time.

 

[IamMadeOutOfStone]

i vote for papyrus by soul hax and gravity manip then

 

[StrymULTRA]

Papyrus FRA. I don't recall Dry Bones being particularly skilled unlike Pap who is considered a top tier warrior from Undyne who constantly trains to take on humans and is the leader of the Royal Guards, and while his attacks aren't particularly hard compared to the likes of Sans and Undyne, they're still something Dry Bones hasn't really dealt with before.

Plus he he's superior in almost every stats-wise.

Dry Bones can match the likes of Mario in games of go-karting, baseball, soccer, tennis and even Olympic sports. Dry Bones has also participated in many Mario Party Minigames in which they show proficiency in swords, boomerangs, driving various vehicles, lassos and probably more that I'm forgetting.

while his attacks aren't particularly hard compared to the likes of Sans and Undyne, they're still something Dry Bones hasn't really dealt with before.

Dry Bone does have experience maneuvering around projectiles as seen in various MP minigames. Dry Bones can also use it's flight and Zone Speed to dodge Papys bones.

Issue is that those are barely in combat situation. They're literally in games, not a real fightning thing.

Such as? I'd like so see some.

That's kinda fair, though gravity hax greatly limits that.

StratosFEAR!, Fuzzy Flight School, Gridiron Gauntlet, Bridge Work, Superstar Showdown, Get Over It, Take Me Ohm, Lava or Leave 'Em, Thrash 'n' Crash, and Gun the Runner.

Fair ig, although that doesn't change the fact that they show proficiency with many different weapons and vehicles and that they can challenge peps like Mario and Bowser in these minigames and sports.

That's kinda fair, though gravity hax greatly limits that.

True, however even while grounded they can still use Zone speed to slow their perception and dodge Papy's bones. They could also disassemble themselves making them harder to hit.

Fair then, Papyrus' danmaku is definitely within that level.

Yeah but it's still for a sport than for a real fighting thing. Undyne is 24/7 on training to take on humans and is trained from Asgore who survived a war against them, and calls Papyrus one of the best ones.

Issue it's that those bones are already anywhere on the battlefield, it'd be a bit hard to focus on all of those.

I mean there are a few minigames with direct combat like Slaparazzi, Train in Pain, Think Tank, Spider Stomp, and a few more I'm probably forgetting. Also, in Mario Strikers they play Strike which is an extreme variant of association football which allows headbutting, kicking, and other combat techniques.

Issue it's that those bones are already anywhere on the battlefield, it'd be a bit hard to focus on all of those.

If DB is getting overwhelmed by bones they can teleport away or disassemble and move their body parts to a better position.

doesn't teleportation only works whit teammates and stars tough

 

[koopa3144]

That's with MP Super items, DB can naturally teleport as seen in their deke in Mario Strikers Charged.

 

[IamMadeOutOfStone]

oh my bad, if he can spam that, then i guess dry bones can take on papyrus, since papyrus is not familiar whit teleport in battle (not counting sans)

i think papyrus can get used dry bones teleportation rather quickly since he is brother whit sans (which teleports a lot), and uses his gravity maip and soul hax to stomp dry bones

 

[koopa3144]

While sans does use teleportation a lot I'm like 90% sure that they have never fought in cannon, so Papy doesn't have experience actually fighting someone with teleportation.

and uses his gravity maip and soul hax to stomp dry bones

Dry Bone does have experience maneuvering around projectiles as seen in various MP minigames. Dry Bones can also use it's flight and Zone Speed to dodge Papys bones.

after some thinking, i vote for dry bones overall, since he has a lot of fair points against papyrus

Personally, I think DB takes this more often than not for a few reasons.

• The AP difference isn't that big. (0.71 Tons of TNT vs 0.89 Tons)
• They have plenty of experience dodging projectiles (see here) that combined with their flight, Zone Speed, acrobatics and their ability to disassemble themselves means they shouldn't have a hard time dodging Pap's danmaku.
• They can easily create more DB's.
• They can simply turn Papyrus to stone although they dont lead with this often.
• They can go invisible with the Magic Orb.
• They can summon a gust of wind to trip up Papyrus or slow him down with a poison mushroom.

So I will be voting Dry Bones for the reasons I just listed and the ones above.

 

[JustANormalLemon]

Also, undertale soul hax has been downgraded a lot so It's irrelevant to this fight sinse It works just like regular atacks now

voting dry bones

They are not regular attacks, they still hit the soul, they just dura neg less than before.

They do, but now the soul damage acts as if is phisical damage, in other words, It just works to negate conventional dura
