Both of them faces each other in a city street. No monsters are nearby.

10 meter distance

KO or Death

Edit - well to prevent a stomp... If base strength is equalized who would it go to?
 
Well the only reason I could see this fight being made is because their powers are similar, other than that STOMP.
 
By strength I'm going to guess you mean Attack Potency and Durability ,well then I gotta go with Yang. Their powers are pretty much the same, but Yang has Aura which can be useful. Whereas Metal Bat only have his "Fighting Spirit" and that's it.
 
I'd probably go with Metal Bat here. He also gets faster and more durable with fighting spirit as compared to Yang only getting stronger but gets drained of aura.

Over time, she isn't hitting Metal Batman once she's actually juiced up with her semblance.

Also, I don't see her tanking Savage Tornado.
 
Wait, I don't understand the conditions of this match. If base strength is equalized, are the effects of Yang's semblance still working? If so, I still give it to Metal Bat because her semblance/gun don't quite make up for Metal Bat's speed advantage (High Hypersonic minimum vs Hypersonic+). If speed is equalized as well, I would give it to Yang because the "fighting spirit" thing with Metal Bat is very iffy and based off one panel in the redrawn manga (never mentioned anytime before). I personally think it was just Metal Bat being a BAMF over any personal ability of his. Also, Yang has a gun.

Yes. Semblance and Fighting Spirit still does whatever it does, just that they start at equal base stats.

MBatman's Fighting Spirit is like Yang's semblance in a way, but it also ups his speed and durability as opposed to Yang's strength only with the glowy fire effects.

Still going with MBatman due to my reasons stated before and a nigh-indestructible metal bat.
 
Fighting Spirit never appeared in the original ONE comic and is merely a fan theory at this point, honestly. It comes from a statement by Garous "He's gotten faster!?," after Garou took his attention off Metal Bat with the arrival of MB's sister. That doesn't seem clear enough to me as a definite boost, it could have been adrenaline with his sister being in danger or merely a last burst of energy before he collapsed (which he did, right afterwards).

Don't get me wrong, Metal Bat has extreme stamina (fighting 4 Demon levels, 1 Dragon and Garou before collapsing), but there just isn't enough proof for his ability.

ONE's original comic was half-assed done anyway, which was why he gave Murata control on adding elements to it to make it better.

This site accepts Murata's work for the most part so yeah. He still got faster according to Garou's offhand comment regardless of if its Fighting Spirit really acting like Yang's semblance or its just a fancy term for him getting amped with adrenaline steroid cocktail.

Regardless of him passing out (as he was fighting prior to Garou), he starts fresh here.
 
Well, my point is this: is his "fighting spirit" thing merely him drawing up more of his own power or boosting it? In this match, we equalized strength so if it is the former it doesn't actually change his stats. Only the latter does. Hence, he wouldn't keep up with Yang's boosting kif the former is true.

Still, his speed is higher so that needs to be equalized as well before he loses IMO. That's the reasoning behind my deicions.

Oh. Well that's fine then.

Still, the speed gap and the fact that MBatman can still amp himself up even more (and still more than just strength) still stands.

Yang's fighting style is boxing, which does not have that much moves to counter Savage Tornado and Dragon Thrashing. Seeing that someone can actually knock her out without activating her semblance means she isn't taking multiple skull bashes.
 
Well actually hitting her on the head with a metal bat would dislodge some of her hair and make her semblance go into overdrive.

It's not dislodging just hair if he does it enough times. It's not like she gets faster or anything, just flying in a mad frenzy which is not gonna help against someone with better speed, self-amp and extended melee range with a nigh-indestructible weapon.

This is a bit silly, to nerf Metal Bats Strength, Durability, and speed just to get a match.

It was only strength and durability going by the discussion but yeah.

Actually, the OP states only "base strength" is the same, which is vague as all heck. If it's just AP, Metal Bat still wins via superior Durability,Speed, and increase in strength.

"Changed and equalized base strength stats."

"By strength I'm going to guess you mean Attack Potency and Durability..."

Like I said, how the discussion was going. It's vague, that's why it came to this, but yeah.

Vague posts are vague.
