The Shrike V.S. Darquesse | Battle for 5th Low 7-B

[EliminatorVenom]

~ The Battle ~
Darquesse (Skulduggery Pleasant) - The 5# Champion

V.S.

The Shrike (Hyperion Cantos) - The Challenger

This battle shall take place on a stormy night, with both at 50m distance from each other, on an barren grassland that seems to extend infinitely.

RULES:
1. Speed equalized, Darquesse at End of Phase 1.

2. SBA otherwise.

3. If Darquesse wins in your opinion, just for fun: Would unequalized speed make the Shrike win?

What stops Darquesse from sensing him and then doing existence erasure whilst high up in the sky and having good regen.

Pause does EE even work on acas type 3 (it should right?)

and how does Shrike’s Time manip work (and does it start off with it, use it in combat etc)

So, how does the EE work like? And is it something she tends to immediately start with?

Flying really isn't an obstacle to him, though - not only can the Shrike fly, but it can both teleport itself to Darquesse, teleport her to him, or tranaport both to a period of time that flying would be a bad idea, like, for example, in the path of a meteor.

It should, unless said EE is reliant on erasing the being from some moment on time to affect the present.

and how does Shrike’s Time manip work (and does it start off with it, use it in combat etc)

Good question! If you want the details, you can expand the "Feats" section on the profile.

Basically, the Shrike has a very ample control of time, and precise as well. He has shown to accelerate and decelerate time to massive degrees (like, fast enough to make peak humans perceive light as in extremely low motion), travel through time to both the future and past, and to different timelines as well, distort space-time offensively (causing localized distortions and warping people), stopping, reversing and vastly accelerating the process of aging, and can possibly stop time and bring versions of itself and other things from other timelines into the present.

Such things happen instantaneously, with no prompt.

Now, interestingly, it doesn't really tend to abuse that. The Shrike starts out attempting to blitz the opponent by accelerating as fast as it can, but if the opponent somehow survives, it tends to limit itself to physical combat, only warping time to either achieve a specific goal or just as an alternative option. It never abuses its abilities to cheap out a foe unless, again, it has a specific goal.

In short, not something to worry about as in to outhax her. It would absolutely however use its abilities to either defend itself or to create a scrnario that can be avoided by her as far as it can gauge said situation, as long as she reacts properly.

Either with that or at least atomic disintegration, I would say. Well, unless she plays around but that is for people that she knows (and her super senses quite possibly warn her how dangerous her opponent is). It's thought based and without projectiles or stuff.

She uses it casually against fodder, and its basically her waving her hand and they’re gone (SPDOTL). She did it to a rememenant that pissed her off for no reason other than to spite it.

Flying really isn't an obstacle to him, though - not only can the Shrike fly, but it can both teleport itself to Darquesse, teleport her to him, or tranaport both to a period of time that flying would be a bad idea, like, for example, in the path of a meteor.

It says he can only fly 5 meters in the air on its profile, but the tp should be interesting.

What are the arguements?

Hmmm, that is an issue.

I don't know if this is a good match anymore, because the two scenarios are a stomp: Either she erases the Shrike, which happens if we equalize speed and not consider his acceleration, or it just dices her up immediately by blitzing.

I'd suggest to close this up, but this makes me question if the Strongest Character would favor something with speed unequal or with speed equalized?

What are the arguements?

Eh, not much. From what I can see, the fight has only two outcomes: Darquesse erases or Shrike blitzes. No middle ground.

I think if it comes down to that they would share the spot with a corresponding note.

 

[EliminatorVenom]

This can be closed, then. I don't think there is much else to discuss.

 

[Jibz]

Yeah i dont see a reason as to why they cant share a spot one with speed equal specified, and one with no equalized speed.
