My Mango Is To Blow Up (Bob-Omb vs. Creeper) (STOMP)

[HonestlyBored24]

Strange how nobody has tried this already

Da Roolz
Speed is equalized.
Both are in-character and start 10 meters away.
The battle takes place in a military bunker.
A regular Creeper is being used.

Da Vouts
“I’M BOUTTA BLOW”:

Scales to this; 1.01 Tons of TNT, higher with Self-Destruction​

Scales to this; 1.74 Metric Tons​

“I BLOW THROUGH STONE LIKE A 6 FOOT CHISEL”:

Scales to this; 3.53 Tons of TNT with Self-Destruction​

Scales to nothing; ??? Kilograms​

“KABOOM, THERE GOES YOUR TOWER”: 3 (@Ebihara, @Arkansalter2, @Flashlight237)

INCONCLUSIVE​

Da Fakts
The Creeper has at most a 3.50x advantage in Attack Potency with Self-Destruction.
The Bob-Omb has an unquantifiable advantage in Lifting Strength.

I am not seeing how they kill each other without killing themselves really.

Yeah that was kind of the point

 

[Ebihara]

in charcter they will both just blow up. so i think it comes down to who will explode first? does anyone have that info? cause both of them should stop trying to blow up if there is nothing to blow up near them. that is assuming the other party can live the explosion. so 2 questions

• who blows up first?
• can either of them tank the other blowing up?

A Creeper takes 1.5 seconds to explode after coming within 3 meters of its target, though simply getting out of range or looking away from it will halt its detonation and you can kill it before it blows up. If we’re assuming the maximum potency for a Bob-Omb explosion, than no that Creeper is NOT surviving. But if we’re assuming the minimum potency, then the Creeper could survive, assuming it hasn’t blown itself up by then.
Bob-Ombs seem to take a lot longer to explode and have to be closer to start detonation, though that sort of thing probably varies from game to game. The Bob-Omb could survive the initial explosion from the Creeper, but the explosion would probably light its fuse, causing it to die anyway.

 

[Ebihara]

thank you for finding that info!

I think I have to vote incon then? unless someone can convince me that bob-ombs's fuse wont also light and he will then also die.

Gonna note that Bob-Omb can fight without exploding instantly and can regen themselves back after blowing up.

 

[Arkansalter2]

Incon. Creeper will blow up, killing Bob-omb and it.

can regen themselves back after blowing up.

I'm pretty sure this is a case of another bob-omb being a replacement.

Inconclusive.

Think that depends on whether it's a black Bob-Omb or a Pink Bob-Omb. Combat against a Creeper can be done without the Creeper blowing itself up, but it takes a decent bit of know-how to do, which generally I'm not sure if Bob-Ombs really have. At best they manned cannons, but Bob-Ombs are typically the most disposable of Bowser's units, and as such they typically don't have much of a mindset besides blowing up.

Even after the Creeper blows up, there's trouble to be had. Bob-Ombs ignite as soon as they're lit on fire and they typically explode immediately when they get hit by an explosion. Pink Bob-Ombs, however, don't have this weakness as you can have one of those black hovering balls spit fire at you and lead the fire to the Pink Bob-Omb in Tiny Huge Island, only for the Pink Bob-Omb to straight-up ignore the fire.

As such, I think the Bob-Omb would win under the specific condition that it's a pink Bob-Omb, but other than that, it's a straight-up inconclusive.

It's not. When Minions die in Minon quest they get knocked away from battle and their body is covered in bandages, which they heal from after the battle ends. After the Bob-omb exploded it comes back in bandages implying it regened from its self-destruction since if it was a new Bob-omb it wouldn't have any injury's. Bob-omb would have regen on profile if I had remember this when I made it like 2 years ago.

Oh yeah, I think a similar thing happened in Paper Mario with BOmbette and Bobbery. M&L: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey is the first time that trait popped up outside of the Paper Mario series.

Crap, I guess that makes this a stomp since the creeper has nothing to counter that
