Yeehaw, I'll copy and paste my comment back from The other High 8-C Bracket...

Beginning of the battle Starman DX has a psychic shield ready to go, which should be able to protect Starman from elemental hax. It then leads with PK Starstorm (" A barrage of falling stars rains down on the enemy for great damage.") and Brainshock ("Causes the enemy to become disoriented."). occasionally, he'll be able to call other Starmans to the fight; who are also High 8-C and have similar hax to the Starman Deluxe (notably the Super Starman). They all can drain energy and amp themselves via PSI Magnet and can also use elemental hax in the offense side. Those should be able to cause problems to the opposing side."

"Starman DX are superior to Super Starmans and regular Starmans, and they are both High 8-C of which Starman DX can call into battle."

"Also want to point out that, in case a Starman Super gets called into battle, their Healing power is enough to bring back a robot that exploded into bits."

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Deluxe

Actually I'm using a regular Starman (Second Key) to help make the AP gap less large.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

I think you mean ability and not hax for the elemental stuff, since it doesn't bypass durability or anything I don't think

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

Oof, I just copied and pasted my comment...

Which that is Starman DX

I'll have to rethink that comment

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

Can you actually make it Starman Super? They aren't that tough to deal with and don't have PK Starstorm.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Define energy absorption

As in, any energy? Specific types of energy?

If it includes stuff like, say, heat, or light, or electricity, that's a few of cat guy's abilities instantly not really working.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

@DaBigP

The issue is that wards can block stuff like Frenzy/Calm among a bunch of other mind-based spells, although IDK if PSI equalizes as magic in this scenario (Although it should still be blocked if the PSI attacks are transfered with a projectile).

J'zargo also has paralysis, which while breif gives him openings for free attacks. His ice and fire spells will also deal extra damage to the Starman due to its weaknesses, although as a follower he opts to use electrical attacks more often.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

I'm mostly concerned about the AP gap, I'll use Starman Super if it's facing higher end High 8-Cs, don't worry.

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

PSI ain't magic, unless you use SBA. Few psychic abilities aren't projectiles; PK Flash for example is a projectile. Descriptions: PSI Fire is "An array of fire that burns a row of enemies. Is able to harm psychic barriers." , PSI Freeze is "A very cold wind that swirls around an enemy that does ice damage and can freeze them. Is able to harm psychic barriers."

Paralysis doesn't prevent PSI though, they can also heal themselves and call in a few Starmans into the fight; who have similar abilities and are in the same tiering.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Define energy Absorption

They have to use an activated skill pre-emtively before an attack hits to absorb it, and it's specific to psychic energy.

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

Alright, that's fine with me.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Fair point, actually. Forgot that PSI doesn't require physical movement. Not like the starman moves much anyways.

Summoning other Starmen is exclusive to its thrid key tho.

That sort of jukes J'zargo's best bet at winning here. Starman should take it via PSI attacks, better AP, etc.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Okay so energy absorption ain't great

So Starman has Forcefields and a solid AP advantage vs Versatility and Intelligence, as well as minor hax such as paralysis inducement.

Do all of his abilities rely on projectiles (speaking of Jzargo here)?

My bad about the summoning, and yeah.


Starman can teleport if that means anything

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

Oh yeah, forgot about Brainshock which "Causes the enemy to become disoriented". Which means Cat dude will be hitting himself.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Imma have to go with Starman. He has the AP advantage, and paralysis doesn't really mess with him in any meaningful way. If this just comes to a spray of ranged attacks at eachother, then Starman takes it due to the barriers and superior AP. Since it probably will come to that, I'm gonna vote for Starman.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

as well as minor hax such as paralysis inducement.

Paralysis Inducement actually doesn't do anything to PSI moves as they don't require physical movement.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Oh yeah, forgot about Brainshock which "Causes the enemy to become disoriented". Which means Cat dude will be hitting himself.

Can they all use Brainshock?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Oh so paralysis won't work.

RIP yeah I'm handing this to Starman FRA. AP + Skoom Lover's best hax not working = that's a yikes from me b0ss.

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

Can they all use Brainshock?

Yes, and forgot he was in Earthbound Beginnings of which he's capable of using PK Beam.

Also, yeah, am voting for Starman as well.

 

[Phoenix821]

Starman FRA.

 

[Jinsye]

Invulnerability for a short period of time FRA

 

[Crimson_Azoth]

Starman FRA

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

RIP Skoom, you will be missed.

Starman - 6 (Crimson, Edward, Phoenix, DaBigP, Bambu, Iapitus)

 

[DMUA]

>Notices that Starman's calc is based on creating a crater in dirt which has a fork ton lower J/CC

ughhhhh

 

[Phoenix821]

Ouch.

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

>Notices that Starman's calc is based on creating a crater in dirt which has a fork ton lower J/CC

ughhhhh

2017 was a great year

 

[DMUA]

Yeah the result would be like

From 100 to 40 times lower then what we see on it

Of course I'd have to get to recalculating it and all

Either way oof

 

[Jinsye]

well that means Starboi and Meteorboi are dq'd from High 8-C Doubles too

gratz Homura and Aang

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

Bring it up here if you wish.

Dang nabit

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Starman fra

 

[DMUA]

h

Then again I wonder if any earthbound guys want to look into KE or whatnot

 

[TheQuirkyBoy]

Then again, you can ask ArbitraryNumbers about that calc...

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

I mean, technically speaking, all it is changing is the degree. Is it gonna jump him up tiers or anything like that?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

No, he'd go lower, but I'm not sure a recalc needs done.

Frankly that looks like honest to god rock. It's the same color as the cliffside.

 

[DMUA]

If it goes from 40 J/CC to 1 the result goes from 6.166 tons to 0.15415

Of course if it happens to be real rock then 214.35 J/CC should be used which amps it to 8-B

Which seems pretty inflated considering how tiny the crater is
