Roronoa Zoro vs Atomic Samurai (GRACE)

[Theformofacast]

Ennies Lobby Arc Zoro is used and speed is equalized.

Zoro scales above 65.349 kilotons and Atomic Samurai to 102.42 kilotons.

Roronoa Zoro: 7 (Dziga, EmperorDoom25, Js250476, LordUrien935, NeoSuperior, ZackMoon1234, Zaratthustra)

Atomic Samurai:

 

[Ryuga21]

Zoro stomps

 

[Theformofacast]

How?

 

[Ryuga21]

Far better skills, versatility and AP. I can't see Atomic Samurai winning this.

 

[Theformofacast]

Maybe if I use Skypiea this would be closer?

 

[Theformofacast]

For reference, Skypiea Zoro scales to 65.349 kilotons.

 

[The_Calaca]

I think we should redux some of Zoro's matches with the TB key since there was a misconception of his Durability. Zoro can't scale to a 343KT explosion.

Instead, he scales in base around 200KT for being able to damage and fight Oars who was comparable to a Diable Jambe which is around 195KT for being comparable to Enies Lobby Zoro's Asura.

Even if Zoro scales to 343KT, that's not a stomp.

 

[Theformofacast]

Even if I use the Skypiea or Ennies Lobby Zoro, this isn't a stomp.

Using Thriller Bark Zoro, he scales around 200 kilotons, 600 kilotons with Asura. In Ennies Lobby, he is above to his Skypiea self, which is 65.35 kilotons, and then with Asura he is above ~196.05 kilotons.

I think using Ennies Lobby is fairer because of the AP gap (~1,57x in Atomic Samurai's favor and with Asura ~1,92x in Zoro's favor). So, I'm going to update the conditions.

 

[The_Calaca]

Yeah, the Enies Lobby characters scales to people who can stomp 65KT characters so they should be roughly comparable.

 

[Dziga]

It's not a stomp, but I still see Zoro taking this mid difficulty. He has considerable experience against other skilled swordsman, can increase his A.P via muscle amplification to cover the small gap in power, gets considerable range advantage with many techniques and a last minute surprise in Asura.

 

[Theformofacast]

That's one for Zoro.

[GyroNutz]

Atomic Samurai is well above baseline High 7-C. It's far from a small gap in power between them

 

[Dziga]

Both are above the calc they scale to.

 

[NeoSuperior]

The thing is, Atomic Samurai seems to be specialized in fighting monsters from his hero work. Monsters who fight him sword vs sword? Even if that happens it's likely very rare. And I am not aware of anything like Atomic Samurai sparring against other sword fighters like Lightning Flash or anything like that, while Zoro as a kid basically only trained sword-vs-sword battles and only seemed to have really have any training against monster-like creatures after starting his pirate life. In other words we have one who is specialized in blade vs non-blade battle, which is Atomic Samurai, and one who is specialized in blade vs blade battle, which is Zoro.

So voting for Zoro for having a much better affinity for this sort of battle than Atomic Samurai. The AP gap is too low to influence the vast affinity gap.

 

[Theformofacast]

From what I can see in Atomic Samurai's profile he was stated to be "one of the few heroes that would've defeated Half Monster Garou before he even showed off his technique". Half Monster Garou is At least High 7-C, shouldn't Atomic Samurai be At least High 7-C then?

@NeoSuperior vote counted.

 

[ZackMoon1234]

Zoro FRA

 

[Theformofacast]

That's another one to Zoro. Only one more.

 

[Zaratthustra]

Zoro should win as he has far better Sword skills and his experience vs humans that use sword is better.

 

[Theformofacast]

So, grace starts.

 

[GyroNutz]

Both are above the calc they scale to.

Atomic Samurai stomps a guy with a large scaling chain from a bit above baseline.

Also AS spars against his students, its likely he went through similar training with his own master.

 

[The_Calaca]

I'll post Zoro's scaling chain in a while.

 

[Theformofacast]

Grace has finished.

 

[GyroNutz]

From what I can see in Atomic Samurai's profile he was stated to be "one of the few heroes that would've defeated Half Monster Garou before he even showed off his technique". Half Monster Garou is At least High 7-C, shouldn't Atomic Samurai be At least High 7-C then?

He should be, yes

 

[Theformofacast]

Well, I'm going to add the results then.

 

[Golem_Guy_(Neo)]

Zoro for the reasons above.
