Doing this in the middle of the tournament because I just want to see if this can actually be done, and I wanted to do the match for a long time
Gill-man (Monster Squad) vs Baby Shark
Rules:
  • Battle takes place on the seas of a beach
  • Both are willing to kill, but Baby Shark is bloodlusted (mostly as Gill-man is naturally more aggressive)
  • Battle to death or incapacitation
  • SBA for everything else
Both are 9-C
Murderous shark:
Baby shark:

From what I can tell, Baby Shark broke three boards, and going off what he did, the boards were just split in half. Splitting a board in half requires 500 newtons of force at best for one (https://daily.jstor.org/the-physics-of-karate/ ), Assuming 152.4 joules (applying the force over a foot), this equates to 457.2 joules (one of the four boards remained completely intact).

Gill-man scales from Wolfman, who is able to overpower multiple policemen and can slam a phone booth door off its hinges. While I'm pretty sure a phone booth door is different from a residential door, just breaking a residential door off its hinges is worth 2980-3190 joules: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/References_for_Common_Feats

That's not mentioning Gill-man's other advantages such as camouflage and the ability to see in the dark. Although being fair, Baby Shark should be capable of electro-reception because... Well, duh! He's a shark. Also, Gill-man can actually grab Baby Shark, which given his significant lifting strength advantage, Baby Shark wouldn't be able to get out of.

If anything, I think Gill-man stomps.

I just want to say that, if Baby Shark actually scales to Blacktip Reef Shark, the AP gap is going to be much smaller, also, the shark also has a range advantage, which could help him.
Also, you should post the Baby Shark calculation, as it isn't on the profile.
There's also this problem on the shark's profile:
To reiterate, these are only basic guidelines and should not be treated as a replacement for proper explanations, sources, and justifications. Please avoid generic terms such as "high" or "very high" and so on, as well.
Stamina: High (Is very active every day, and can hunt with his family)

I don't think being what is essentially the equivalent of a human toddler qualifies as "High" stamina. If anything, the page needs a terminology fix.

Given how Baby Shark compares to a real reeftip shark (though the profile only lists the KE rating, plus you really shouldn't given their respective sizes), the board-breaking calc (which, by the way, really doesn't need a blog from how pathetic it is) is more accurate of an AP rating than the reeftip shark's KE.
