Is Akoya getting help like in the Kengan Ahnilation tourney?

 

[BakiHanma18]

He isn't, but to help compensate, he has his shield

Ok, so he shouldn't have any problems killing Masaki since he is both brutal and far more skilled (being a professional cop/vigilante vs a kinda skilled judo guy.) and the shield will protect him.

Why is speed equal if they scale to about the same things?

Speed is equalized for all the matches so far for the sake of fairness across the board

I personally disagree with speed equal for a tournament like this as many characters become A LOT weaker if they lose their speed or reactions like Rei or Akoya. Just throwing it out there.

Not sure on who would win this if speed is equalized tbh. Need more time to think.

Since round 1 is practically over, I'll likely take the "Speed Equalized" rule away for Round 2

Some food for thought I was figuring just now, Meguro has his pain manip to push passed Akoya's brutality, so the thing that almost lead Imai to defeat (the psychological aspect of Taiho Jutsu) is all but a non-issue here, and for Akoya, he not only has his Taiho-jutsu, which the relentless brutality is good for incapping and killing Meguro physically, but he also actually has his riot shield for defense

In 3 hours, Akoya will be declared the winner unless Meguro gains support from now to then

So first, I don't think Akoya would even want his riot shield here. His arm is a much better defensive weapon as it's stronger and less cumbersome to use.

So for the fight. Simply due to the speed equalization in this round I think Meguro takes this extremely high diff. He's just as strong as Akoya, probably even stronger given how Muteba was completely overpowered by Meguro and had to use his tricks to get out of Meguro's grip. Combine this with his pain tolerance and insanity which negs a lot of Akoya's style and he takes a VERY difficult win. Akoya is super skilled and effective at blocking powerful hits with his shield arm but without his reactions he loses too much.

Meguro advances with heavy injuries across his entire body including large cuts, bruises and fractures that have also caused lots of blood loss.

Meguro would win even if Akoya uses Taiho-jutsu, Stance of Suppression?

1-1

After reading Akoya vs Cosmo again I still think Meguro takes it under these set conditions. Stance of suppression won't do much extra against Meguro's ridiculous grip strength and judo throws.

 

[BakiHanma18]

I have 2 questions: 1) Will this be a stomp under speed unequalized and 2) would speed unequalized really make that much of a difference?

 

[Amlad22]

I think you can just leave it this way and start the new speed unequalized with round 2. The main difference the speed makes is that in this rule set, Akoya doesn't have the benefit of being able to dodge nearly everything Meguro can throw at him. I personally think with speed unequalized, Akoya wins mid diff with moderate injuries. But like I said I think it's fine to just keep the rules how they are now and change them in round 2.

 

[BakiHanma18]

Well then, we've spent ample time on this matchup, and your answer was quite compelling. I think we can wrap this one up in favor of Meguro
