Selim Bradley vs Shikamaru

Selim Bradely vs Shikamaru (after timeskip).

Arena: Forest surrounding Konoha at dusk.

Round 1: Both in character. No prep.

Round 2: Knowledge from Round 1. Shikamaru has 1 day of prep. Selim has consumed Gluttony for this round (can use his nose to locate Shikamaru's direction). Both are bloodlusted.
 
Bump.

I believe Selim has round 1 pretty easilly, however Shikamaru is the Naruto version of Batman, imo, so round 2 is going to be a lot closer.
 
How is shikamaru going to even hurt Selim though? he was getting slashed at by tiger chimeras with only slight scratches

Pride should win easy both rounds
 
Selim takes damage in lights bright enough to destroy the shadows (flash bangs in FMA/ paper explosives in Naruto) and can't generate them in pitch black. Selim does stomp in round 1 but Shikamaru's knowledge of shadows and prep time should let him be more of a match.

Consider round 1 as a spar/information gathering session and round 2 to be serious.
 
he doesn't need his shadows for his durability. and he doesn't take damage from flash grenades, it only prevents him manipulating shadows for a bit. not that it would be very helpful even if shikamaru had it in this battle otherwise hows he gunna manipulate shadows if they're all gone?

and why would flashbangs = paperbomb explosives? wot? not to sound rude or anything but Is that some f***d up version of energy equalisation?
 
Non-Bias, Shikamaru at his strongest point.


I didn't state flashbangs are equal to paper bombs, I stated they both create a bright light.

Selim's true form is the shadow, the boy is a container for him to move around in, and yes, he takes damage from both flashbangs and absence of light when part of him isn't in the container.

"Attempting to harm me with flashbangs again?"

As for his Durability, the lio chimera that was slashing him was doing damage, the Homonculi (baring Wrath) all have a limited supply of Regenerationn. After tha mauling and flashbang doing damage to him he had to consume Gluttony because his power was too low and was getting too close to death.

As for Shikamaru not using shadows either, Pride's shadows are superior but shadow manipulation is not the extent of Shikamaru's abilities.
 
Let's see...

EOS Shikamaru is Mountain Level in durability at the lowest for surviving against Toneri's attack with little to no problem. You can see what I'm talking about here at 1:18 - 1:38.

He has MHS+ reaction speed for catching Kinshiki while he attempted to blitz Sasuke.

That's a small clip showing how fast Kinshiki is.

I don't see what Selim can do here, especially given Shikamaru's equipment combined with prep.

Basically, I don't see why he wouldn't easily win this match.
 
Welp, Wikipedia states the movie is cano, however Shikamaru's Durability doesn't really matter as Selim can swallow him whole. As for speed, the main factor in this battle may come down to Shikamaru's stanima and toolset vs Pride's Regenerationn. That is if Shikamaru gets too tired to continulously dodge before Pride loses too many souls to fight.
 
To bad these feats happened in canon movies lol. The fact that you want to deny visual proof is astounding really.

Well his stamina increased to the point where he doesn't get exhausted really quick like he used to. Not to mention that Shikamaru has enough explosive tags and kunai to kill Selim too, or at least has the tools to stall and the speed to easily avoid him.
 
@Aizen, I got you partner. The problem with this fight is that is that Shikamaru still can't hurt him. Paper Bombs may stun him temporary (at most), but thats it. Its like Batman fighting without gear against a Joker with the body of Bane. He may run but against Pride its only a matter of time til hes caught. @Non-Bias, his explosive tags and kunai are not powerful enough to breach through Pride's durablity and while Shikamaru is faster, the diffrence in his durablity, stamina, and attack potency are just not enough to take on a guy who literally one of the most powerful homunculi who take down super powered humans for fun.
 
@CyberGhostI know the movie is canon, but non-bias likes to make up rankings and durability feats based on nothing but assumptions and wishful thinking, that's why i said fanfic.

And yes shikamaru still has nothing to kill Pride.
 
I've already shown bright lights do damage Selim when they destroy the shadows here. Also Pride's durability isn't high, he tanks hits through Regenerationn, not negation.
 
Selim akes if they're trying to use Flashbangs to hurt him again:

Volume 22: ch 88, page 19

Selim states he's taken a lot of damage just after the maul:

Volume 21: ch 87, page 40
 
I still don't see why Shikamaru couldn't just strangle Selim to death. This is honestly a terrible mismatch given the difference in stats. Can't say I blame you though because Shikamaru's stats have yet to be updated.
 
well, i cant see it bc of its apparently very messed up. can anyone send a pic?

Because Selim would just bite into Shikamaru, decompose him on the molecular level and assimilate his mind and soul into the hundreds of screaming souls that is his Philosopher's Stone.

Shikamaru is way faster than Selim though. And his shadows are strong enough to pin down characters who's easily above Selim in power (defeated the 8 Tails and easily cut down the Shinji). There's not really a reason why he couldn't easily snap his neck with his shadows.
 
@SomebodyStupid: I mentioned the feats above. At minimum, Shikamaru is Mountain Level in durability and has MHS+ speed. He was capable of easily restraining someone who was stronger than Sasuke, who can kick people through mountains for some reason. I really don't see what Selim can do given these reasons honestly.
 
Please give a reference to the feats you're reffering to.

As for snapping Selim's neck, he has a Regenerationn factor powerful enough to regenerate his whole body, even if limbs (including head) are removed like most Homonculi. Look into what both characters can do before claiming a victory for one character in these topics.
 
at the end, i see this only ending well for shikamaru if he somehow managed to deal enough damage to Pride at once. but pride kills every other way. Ill leave you guys to end this
 
Hold up, I don't ever recall Homonculi regenerating a head lol. Got a reference to a chapter or an episode or something? It appears that my knowledge regarding FMA is gone (it's been a while you see XD). This would probably change things.
 
Episode 13: 12:20: Greed introduces himself, then explains what a Homunculus is by having his head knocked off by one of his minions, then grows it back.

Episode 51, 12 minutes in: Envy was reduced to a caterpillar like creature for a while, then absorbed several white homunculi which allowed hit to return to his human form .

Episode 52, 17 minutes in: Sloth ran mouth first into a spike which cut through most of his arm and would have severed the spinal column (piercing all the way through), then recovered from both wounds after his arm falling off.

The Homonculus core is the Philosopher's Stone, everything around it can be regenerated as long as they have enough power reserved.


Edit: In that video Shikamaru snared a walking human from behind, said human seemed unphased and absorbed the shadow. If you're counting on Shikamaru to get a surprise grab in round 2, Selim is able to smell where people are after absorbing Gluttony. Even if Shikamaru did "capture" Selim his true form is the shadows, not the boy, he would be able to move around the snare pretty easily.
 
Thanks for the info. So if the little knowledge I have left of FMA is sound, Selim gets weaker by losing souls right? What are the odds that Shikamaru can simply outlast him? So far this is looking like an inconclusive match because of Shikamaru's superior stats and Selima's Regenerationn. I can't decide on a winner anymore lol.
 
Here's a link to the Greed scene, obvious violence warning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6R-CFYkBg8

And yes, you are right with Selim slowly becoming weaker as he loses souls, however he spent a few minutes being mauled by a Lion Chimera after having a couple of flashbangs damage him with no real effect on his power output, the only thing that seemed to have an impact on his power was when he forced Mustang to open the Gate of Truth, where his range was reduced to around 1-2 meters.

Like I stated before, Shikamaru's stamina may be a key factor in this battle, also if he knows how to summon tools from scrolls or not (more weight means faster stamina drain).
