Gonna have to give this one to Malice over here. One of the most consistent things about Goombas is they're always weak to the idea of getting stomped on the head. This should mean that their head is immediately vulnerable. Comparing Class K against Class 5 LS makes stomping the Goomba's head a viable option since getting squished by something with superior LS would not be any different from getting squished by a stomp. That and apparently Malice has legs??? So it can very much try to stomp the Goomba.

This isn't mentioning the better tools at Malice's disposal as opposed to the Goomba's lack of tools.

Honestly, you can just look at Malice's profile and you could tell just how boned the Goomba is. So yeah... Gonna go with Malice.

Malicious Faces don't use the weight of their bodies or their transparent legs to attack anyone, at least in character. They only have two attacks, a barrage of 4 energy projectiles and an explosive laser

I don't think that changes much if they just go for the head.

(dang, I should have told you that I was thinking about making a crt to upgrade most of these dudes to 7-C, but the game itself is still going to take a while to have its next update anyway, so whatever)

Maurices have really, REALLY bad movement speed tbh, almost immobile, and Goomba can just dodge the energy barrage by just... moving, they can also aim-dodge the lasers because the charge time is slow as Hell, tho i don't know much about Goomba, but I can still see them having a chance due to their much greater versatility (ironically) even with speed =

 

[AStrangeverse]

just gonna note, Goombas can also play the range game

 

[Flashlight237]

just gonna note, Goombas can also play the range game

That's like... What, three Goomba lengths? Malice's range game is better than that.

I think I'm leaning toward Goomba here. It can avoid Malicious Face's attacks since they have shown dodging and movement skills in games like Baseball/Super Sluggers and Mario Party. The Goomba can interact with Malicious Face's legs due to having npi so they should be able to destroy its legs which would likely bring it down and make it easier to defeat. And even if they take a few hits they have enough stamina to power through and take the Malicious Face out.

don't matter, option's still there

That is if Goomba is smart or attentive enough to see the legs, since they are transparent and barely visible. Also by default Malicious Face is of the Brutal difficulty (It's full potencial), meaning it has a burst attack instead of just 4 projectiles and can track Goomba by predicting where it will be with laser, which will be even more deadly if Maurice loses 50% of health, also it will probably make more of a difference since it is Goomba Maurice is fighting here, not a combat Genius like V1.

Goombas have experience fighting against transparent opponents like Boo's so they shouldn't have a hard time figuring out that Malicious Face has invisible legs.

Looking at the gameplay linked earlier in the thread, both the laser and projectiles can be pretty easily sidestepped if the Goomba just stays moving. Also, Goombas aren't completely unskilled iirc they train for battles and can defeat various bosses in Jambere including Imposter Bowser.

Examples? Because 90% of casual Ultrakill players don't know that Malicious Face has legs, it will likely be even more difficult to notice considering the arena

V1 uses the dash to sidestep the explosions, which I don't think Goombas normally have, and Goomba to effectively deal damage will have to get up close, where projectiles and lasers will be much more dangerous, especially in rage mode

Here's a good example of Boo's going transparent. Considering there gonna start pretty close to each other, it shouldn't be too hard for the Goomba to see.

Goomba can just run out of the way of the explosions and as noted earlier in the thread the Goomba can use Thorn Shot to hit from a distance if needed.

Doesn't seem nearly as potent as Maurice's

Thorn shot only has Extended Melee range on the profile, which is enough of a range at which Maurice's projectiles will become very oppressive

They turn basically invisible on Will, how is Maurice's better?

The Goomba can also just jump onto Maurice and ground-pound him while he fires to not get hit.

Do Goombas ever on screen deal with Boos when they are like this? All I see is Mario

The Goomba can also just jump onto Maurice and ground-pound him while he fires to not get hit.

Maurices can easily hit foes in every direction, be it under or above them

I would love to know how deep their npi is, since even V1 despite being able to crush incorporeal souls, still cannot touch Maurice's legs (why that sounds so weird)

• Non-Physical Interaction (Can crush Soul Orbs and punch away energy projectiles)

It's only baseline, not layered/various like Mario and them

Going with Maurice in this one
