Equal Stats Tournament 2022: Shock Rock vs Garou (Quarter-Final-1)

[Greenshifter]

I'm gonna assume this OPM expert was pretty persuasive

Zero in a nutshell lol.

The thing that still confuses me is that if it really is durability negating then I don't understand why Bang underestimating EC's durability would matter

It's limited dura neg it seems.

I would still like to see the argument for dura neg that you got @Greenshifter

It's basically the Bomb statement about turning EC into dust, equated to Bang's bones (with Bang being equal to Garou in that moment). While also explaining away any inconsistencies.

this is the part I'm interested in

 

[Greenshifter]

I kinda did already. CE is a stone wall, which is why Bomb is wrong. Meanwhile Garou's attack seems to specifically work on Bang's bones.

 

[DemonicDude]

Shock Rock regen is upgraded to High

 

[FRIMI]

unless you argue that he has High regen... But arguing this would probably disqualify him from the tournament.

rip shock rock, suffering from success

 

[FRIMI]

not that it matters since grace already ended I think

 

[DemonicDude]

Grace hasn't started cause regen was impending plus we this situations now:
1-Rex and Necrozama can compete with SR despite having good regen and since the toughest of the tough are most likely gonna move on it makes sense for absolute best to be in the semi so I don't see why him advancing means no one can defeat him especially when BFR is allowed not to mention Garou has no way of reaching SR in outerspace if he was to camp which he has absolutely the right space-armor to do so & was avodining enemies in space in the movie Garou can't reach SR now in space match ends in Incon ! We do a coin flip...yada yada yada
2-Either we restrict SR somewhat so he can feasibly compete with Garou to finish this match by giving both equal standings for a fair fight Idk
3-Even if SR was to get banned there is no way stated someone would just advance clearly the word "replace" is used in the tourney heck I would end up choosing someone who has bajillion more haxes as a replacement that fits the tourney kek
4-We find some other method especially recommend by the supervisor of the tourney to handle this or from above.

From what I see up above, grace didn't end yet. And now the votes based on my reasoning (and maybe the first few votes as well) should be nullified yeah.

@DemonicDude I mean SR was already pretty hard to kill and practically impossible to K.O. before the regen change, so not that much changes.

We restricted existence erausre of vegeta for a competitive match in previous match so even if SR has high regen we'll restrict it to high mid also what's the counter to spaceflight camp ? Garou first move is not turning people into powder even if so ourshell of the rock armor would break not energy inside this is a logical option for SR to avoid such high damaging enemies if Garou's opening move is not that, forcing him to go into outerspace for safety after realizing rapid increase in his power.

 

[Greenshifter]

Seems like an odd choice, just wait for what the other people have to say.

 

[Phoenks]

How does Shock Rock even have High Regen?

 

[Greenshifter]

DD proved that SR's regen relies on his energy (in a CRT), not the armor. Something that was first suggested by the OPM expert.

yeah since we restricted Vegeta EE i guess we can restrict SR regen as well

Alright so original WinCon was

He came to the conclusion that Garou can in fact turn people equal to himself in AP and dura, their bones into dust.

The reason EC did not get turned to dust is because he is more durable than Bomb anticipated. But he later on seems to equate EC to Bang’s bones.

What this means for this MU is that Shock Rock becomes Pulverized Rock (since his “bones” would be his rock armor). Which would be beyond Shock

But now rock armor is non-related to the energy ! Cause SR is sentient energy puppeteering a body and energy is not reliant on rock armor at all, I'll keep his regen to "At Least High-Mid likely higher" instead of full blown high to give Garou a chance instead of full blown High, let's see how this goes.

That just... doesn't work and creates more confusion.

Got an idea though, we'll let both pass and whoever defeats Rex the next character they have to face passes to the finals (so the semi-finals will contain 1 match extra).

 

[DemonicDude]

Now that right there is great idea, it's logical it gives both equal chance for the semis .
We are having Double Semis !
But are you sure like facing off in two separate matches only using Rex Salazar don't get me wrong kid looks impressive but again are you sure ?

 

[Phoenks]

Garou's reactive evolution speed is about to get buffed drastically btw

Sure, not sure if my current opponent agrees though.

Good to know things won't get boring.

 

[DemonicDude]

I agree with your proposal.

 

[DemonicDude]

And if Rex loses and I freaking hope it does not come down to SR vs Garou again at that point there's gonna be a coin toss.

Battle royale or smth, but that'd only happen if Rex loses twice, I wouldn't count on it.
