The Man (A-Ha) vs Playtime (Baldi's Basics)

I, probably the only member who writes serious analyses about humorously ridiculous match-ups like this one, have arrived.

This match-up is straightforward. The Man has plenty of useful abilities within the comic book and he has experience in action seeing as he participates in motorcycle racing, whereas Playtime is just a super durable kid who can force people to stop and play jump rope, so this battle is a stomp in The Man's favor. The battle taking place within the comic book presumably means that Playtime's existence would be edited for her to be compatible in there like what was shown with a human in the regular world during the Take On Me music video. Even if Playtime's durability relative to her power is the same when turned "2-Dimensional" from being in the comic book, The Man would find a way, perhaps with his motorcycle, to defeat her, given that the combatants are set to be bloodlusted and Playtime doesn't really have any attacks. All she does is walk around and force the player to play jump rope if she goes into contact with them. She has poor eyesight and short memory, so along with her having no evidence of being more athletic than a kindergartener, I don't get the impression that she would defeat The Man.

For the sake of making things interesting, I will also analyze the battle with Playtime starting outside the comic book, and I recommend that the battle conditions are edited to be like that. The Man primarily functions within the comic book, but it was shown that he could escape it if need be, before returning eventually. This should be enough to fight Playtime and avoid being too fragile to survive a character as weak as Playtime. The Man would have no trouble doing this, since the match-up has both characters bloodlusted and since Standard Battle Assumptions make it so that both combatants are willing to fight and win, even if you might find it odd for The Man to be willing to beat up a random kid for no good reason. What else I described in the previous paragraph is also relevant here. Playtime isn't a fighter. If the battle conditions are changed in accordance with my recommendation, then I vote for The Man to win the battle.
What are The Man's tactics?
His comic book isn't listed as equipment, but could he try to put Playtime in there & abandon her? (Admittedly, he might disappear before she perishes there, & it's unclear what happens to "real" beings put in there.)
The comic book is The Man's home world. The original post means that the battle takes place within the world of the comic book. Playtime would exist there just fine, but she wouldn't maintain her power to the standards of existing outside of the comic book and she has no abilities to counter those of The Man's within the comic book, so this battle is a stomp as it stands.
