[koopa3144]

Welcome to Round 8 of the World Martial Arts (8-C) Tournament!
​

Spoiler: Rules copied from OG Tourney thread

Vs thread Scenario:​

• All the official rules are in play.
  • If a character breaks the rules in battle, they will be "disqualified" in-universe, and their opponent will proceed.
  • Every double K.O/draw will use the sudden-death rule, regardless of whether it's the final round.
• Speed is equalized for all matches.
• Everything above 8-C is restricted.
• Competitors are informed that the winner will receive 10,000,000 Zeni (convertible to the currency of their choice), while 2nd and 3rd place will receive 5,000,000 and 2,000,000, respectively.
• Competitors will fight in character with the knowledge given (I.E a competitor that doesn't care about winning and the money, not fighting as hard as they would in a life or death scenario, or a competitor that would kill the opponent despite knowing the rules)
• Competitors will be asked to remove weaponry and protective equipment before the fight.
  • Characters can choose to ignore the request, but if they're seen with their equipment during the fight, they will be "disqualified."
• Fights take place in the Buu saga WMAT stage.

Tournament Thread Rules:​

• If a character gets no arguments for around 3-4 days, the opposing competitor will automatically go to the next round.
• If a thread gets no votes or the votes are tied for 3-4 days, I will decide who I think advances based on the arguments given.
  • If a character I submitted is involved, however, I will coin-flip instead to prevent any bias on my part.
• All competitors are given the option to view the previous matches as they happened in-universe.

Bump!

 

[Armorchompy]

Feel like Kiryu'd win this, he's a lot more skilled and generally way more used to fighting humans. Jonathan is relatively inexperienced and while Hamon is good in this key it can't just KO people instantly and probably doesn't bridge the gap (+ Kiryu has his own magic stat amp juice).

Not an expert on either tho just a casual enjoyer.

 

[Shadowslash125]

Armorchompy hits the nail on that one. Even with Hamon, Johnathan at this point isn't remotely skilled enough to even be a threat for Kiryu. Also, Hamon can be interpreted as Jojo's Heat System, and Kiryu's verse well enough against those type of fighters. The best comparison for this fight would be Kiryu vs Hiroshima Thug. Would wait for args on Jojo end.

 

[Jerry59]

Don’t really want to comment on that comparison but aight, and even putting skill aside, Kiryu still has AnPr plus several ways to quickly stun or knock him off balance, like counters that create electric shock, after which he could just throw Jojo out of the ring maybe.

Never forget, Tiger Drop negates all damage

Prob gonna wait a day or two more to see if someone comes to debate for Jonathan, if not Kazuma Kiryu will move on in the tournament.

 

[koopa3144]

One last bump to see if anyone wants to argue for Jonathan.

 

[koopa3144]

Welp, no one has come for Jonathan so Kazuma Kiryu will move on in the tournament!
