Me neither

Well then I'll get the ball rolling.

Bakugo scales way above 48 tons to get 8-A, but he has no calculations. So we put him at baseline, 100 tons. Shadow scales to 877 tons. Yeesh. Shadow can one-shot.

How about powers? Bakugo makes explosions, flies with them, and can manipulate air pressure using them. He also gets stronger the longer he fights, so this has to be an endurance battle. Not too much though, because Shadow out-stamina's him. What does Shadow have? Weapon Creation, Energy Manipulation, Teleportation, Time Stop... oh.

This is basically a stomp. Shadow kills Bakugo with one hit and massively outhaxxes him. Shadow wins this easily

Bakugou can keep blinding shadow with the grenade flashes. Also, we can restrict timestop since it's only listed as "likely" on his profile.

 

[Sonicflare9]

time stop now restricted

 

[ElixirBlue]

But, you can't restrict an ability. Also, that unfairly bias against Shadow.

 

[Daddybrawl]

You can restrict ‘Likely’ or ‘Possibly’ abilities. If a character only possibly has something and it really screws a character over, you can restrict it to make the match more fair. As for ‘Bias against Shadow’, they just covered why Shadow stomps otherwise.

 

[ElixirBlue]

Fair. I was not aware how we treat possibility/likely when it comes to abilities. I thought an ability was being limited from only one character but not the other, which I thought that was the bias.

 

[The_Axiom_of_Virgo]

Regardless there's nothing stopping Shadow from teleporting and one-shotting with a swift kick to the head plus even if we assume Bakugo gets the opportunity to "blind" Shadow that's not going to stop a homing attack or energy manipulation on top of the established stamina/durability advantage Shadow clearly has here.

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

is it in character for shadow to teleport and attack immediately?

 

[The_Axiom_of_Virgo]

is it in character for shadow to teleport and attack immediately?

He pretty much did that to Infinite (pre-phantom ruby) in Sonic Forces which has taken place in the IDW continuity, he isn't afraid to take cheap-shots (he also sneaked attacked Super Neo Metal Sonic with a chaos spear iirc albeit it was an outlier for Shadow to even be able to harm a super form).

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Hmmmm. Yeah this is probably a stomp considering shadow has multiple ways to shoot bakugou down if he took to the skies and all he needs is one hit.
