Killing Death: Yveltal vs Death

[Assaltwaffle]

Well, at risk of this being a pretty catastrophic stomp, I decided to pit one of my favorite Pokemon, bacon bird, against an RPG's Death avatar. Oddly enough Death can still die, so may this is balanced...

Rules:

Speed Equal (Superhuman vs Sub-Rel)

Death only has 1 body to fight in

Standard Battle Assumptions

Who wins and why? Can Yveltal kill Death? Or will the death bird be put down?

Yveltal: 0

Death: 0

Inconclusive: 0

What's good ol' Harold's Type 8 dependant on?

Also, if this is a stomp in Yvvy's favor, will you throw in Icthlarin?

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Oops, that should be Type 7. As far as I'm aware Death isn't reliant on anything.

Icthlarin doesn't have a page here, so I can't use him.

Also I thought this would be more of a stomp for Death, not Yveltal, considering how Yveltal isn't resistant to death hax either.

 

[Zeifyl]

Neither are resistant to death hax. Yvvy's death hax is ranged, possibly AoE, and doubles as petrification (the latter of which seals the deal, if Harold's Type 4 saves him from loldeath). And it's out of character for birdie not to open with it. And Harold can't kill Yvvy until the first attack. My vote goes to bacon bird.


I also thought Harold having 8 was a bit odd, but assumed there was a piece of lore I had forgotten.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Why does everyone think that Yveltal leads with instant planetary life-wipe?

Oblivion wing is different from spreading its wings and eating all life.

If it uses Oblivion Wing against Death and it doesn't connect, then Death now has the ability to kill Yveltal. I don't think it is in character for Yveltal to lead with ending all life.

I was referring to Oblivion Wing, which Yveltal tends to love opening with. If it doesn't connect, then Harold probably wins, since this is a "First hit wins" fight.

My vote is still on Yveltal, because it gets first attack, and is, therefore, more likely to get first hit.

Unless this is Yveltal vs all the Harolds, in which case Harold stomps.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Well Death's bodies are naturally a part of the entity, and are not restricted. Yeah, that kind of stomp is what I am fearing.

It's as fair as any other millions vs one match, with both contestants at the same level.

I had assumed a 1v1, since that's the only way this could be argued to not be a stomp.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

I can restrict that one ability, then.

 

[Zeifyl]

I can restrict that one ability, then.

That's probably for the best, or this may have to be closed.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Bump.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Mewtwo mindhaxes...wait

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Hey, technically Death resists mind hax even if he was fighting Mewtwo

 

[KinkiestSins]

Im going to follow this, but fair warning I have a bias for bacon bird ovo.

Runescape...kind of have a love hate relationship with.

But setting bias aside, I will wait for Cal to either support or debunk the above reasoning.

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

The real winner here is bacon ovo

 

[NeoZex6399]

Inconclusive

It basically depends on who attacks first.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Technically Death can't attack first. He needs to be attacked in order to kill someone (unless they are already fated to die).

 

[NeoZex6399]

Yveltal wins if he hits Death with Oblivion Wing because Death has no resistance to Petrification or Yveltal extends its wings to absorb all the energy of Death (yeah, Yveltal can do more things spreading his wings)
Yveltal dies if he fails to connect the hit, though Yveltal's death can kill Death unless he teleports.

Mmmm...This depends a lot on luck.

Although apparently Oblivion Wing may also work as an area attack:

Can the two of us agree on Bacon 8/10?

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Bumping

 

[Sceptilespy]

Yveltal spreads his wings.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Yveltal spreads his wings.

This is in-character. Yveltal doesn't just insta life-wipe normally.

 

[Sceptilespy]

If Death puts up any fight then it should eventually happen.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

If Death puts up any fight he wins. Honestly this isn't a very good matchup in hindsight. It's a one-shot war.

Yup. It's hard finding a good fight for Yveltal.
