Unfortunate. I personally think Eggman should win. Both because I like him more, but also because I think him and Bowser are about even, with Eggman being faster, smarter, and more resourceful ways of knocking out the competition (as well as easily creating mirror matches that can overwhelm Bowser.)
Shadow getting stuff is peak, but I need a Metal Sonic game and manga soon I swear-
I feel like Eggman should win too, it’s just the guy researching the episode has already made his opinions known. I guess they’ll bank on them being even stats but Bowser has more powers natural to him, so he can more easily deplete Eggman’s resources than vice versa by doing brick transmutation.
Facts; dude’s been taking nothing but Ls outside Neo.
You know what makes Metal losing so crazy to me in my mind? He’s the ORIGINAL Sonic rival. Moreover, there’s a lot of interesting stuff that CAN be done with him (particularly in how he is similar to Shadow, and thus they could relate over that, as Archie played with, OR in what his existence means—How does he PROVE himself to be SONIC?) that doesn’t get touched.
He will lose because of some extremely obscure Mario hax that appeared in one manual (I am a doomer).
Man, this sucks because Bowser never actually does that in a single game PLUS he has infinite resources with the Ruby and infinite time travel with the Time Eater.
He's done it in 5 games, unless you mean on screen in which case still did it in 2 (Not counting stuff like SMRPG where he can use items to transmute people as well)
Yeah, that’s a very WTF moment. Did they ever explain how he did that?
Nope he’s just that hench (even Mario does it in the ending seemingly)
Unironically all the explanation is: “SUDDENLY, BOWSER SMASHED THROUGH SPACE TIME AND-“ and that was it. He just did it on a whim, I guess, via being that cool. Which I honestly have 0 issue with, because it’s just as silly as Eggman escaping White Space with no resources whatsoever based on vibes.
Bowser “suddenly warping through space and time” is at least a funny “HUH???” moment. Plus I think it makes the slightest bit more sense since Bowser could technically gather the resources to do that, whereas afaik Eggman physically can’t.
Infinite revives get negged by all the methods Eggman has of pulverising Bowser completely. Even if his revives can bring him back from such a thing, they're unlikely to bring back crucial equipment that was lost in the process.
It also reminds me of Sonic, like, falling out of Cyber Space, I guess.
I'm gay, yeah
Bro has something for the IDW-exclusive male characters and Idk if I like it. That aside...
To be honest I think I'm screwed no matter who I'm choosing and would still be screwed with 20$ but here's my best shot.
You're in luck! To make this more fun, I'll make it $30. Lemme edit my question.
With only 15$, I almost certainly can't survive, but Sonic and Knuckles are my best shot. Sonic is an obvious choice due to his AD and willpower basically being plot armor incarnate, and they would surely kick in here since he has something to protect. His status as the fastest character is also really useful here. Meanwhile, Knuckles is the strongest. With an easy opening granted by his break parry, he could take down most characters here in only a few easy hits. Both him and Sonic can take advantage of cyloop's ring creation via thier mobillity options and speed respectively. As long as they have rings, they'll always survive and are unlikely to tire out.
Alright this seems much more manageable.
Neo Metal Sonic and Shadow, pocket 5 bucks. Neo makes anyone not in the 10-15 dollar bracket (or higher) totally worthless with his insane copy ability and evolution, and Shadow to prevent CC Cheese, but also because he pairs well with Metal and has his own abilities that let him (alongside Metal) take out virtually anyone on the list. The only real threat is Emerl, presuming Metal can’t absorb/fuse with him like he does to the Eggfleet—But Emerl at that point would be near his overload, and Metal alongside Shadow should be enough to finish the job.
Emerl is useless. He's tier 4 and finite speed in myriad of tier 2 infinite speed characters.
I don't know about taking a guy who cononically lost to getting jumped and having him fight a even more stacked army with one person as backup but alright.
Assume SBA. So Central Park in New York City.
Pretend he's on-par with the Modern cast for the sake of it here, for fun. Let's say he overloads if he reaches 10x stronger than what he started.
Smart, very smart.
But he has 4000 attack points he must be good
You could have just picked modern Gemerl and specified that he has all of Emerl's abillities, but this works too as long as you specify how high this hypothetical Emerl scales in the scaling chain.
