Rayquaza via AP and stat control.

 

[Oleggator]

Counted.
Also what's AP difference?
I know Rayquaza have 400-800 zettatons (as far as I know), but I can't find Ridley's.

I can't either. Just says they scale to Samus, who destroyed a planet.

 

[FinePoint]

Either way, just three or four Dragon Dances would bring Ray to almost peak Planet Level, and about 3x speed advantage.

 

[Oleggator]

I can't either. Just says they scale to Samus, who destroyed a planet.

The only thing I found for Ridley is scaling to feat with (some numbers) *10^17 kilotons, but that's more than planet. So at this moment I'll just assume it's baseline.
Also a little question, does multipliers of speed works on equalization of speed(to note for future)?

Amps work through equalization, yes.
Otherwise you're restricting Statistics Amplification, and I don't think you can add matches that restrict major abilities.

 

[Oleggator]

Pretty much yes, AMP is also an ability and should be noted as others.
Should I count your vote as vote for Ray?

 

[Starter_Pack]

Ridley's AP comes from scaling to Samus through this feat, meaning Rayquaza has an over 10X AP advantage on Ridley.

 

[FinePoint]

If they can get all six (max) dragon dances off, Ray would be at 1.6-3.2 Yottatons based on the range you gave, and 4x speed.
I'm waiting on AP values for my vote.

 

[Oleggator]

Ridley's AP comes from scaling to Samus through this feat, meaning Rayquaza has an over 10X AP advantage on Ridley.

So, a stomp on Ray's favor since AP? Ridley have some hax but still.

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

How does the core X's possession/absorption work and can the core X gain complete control before Ray uses rest?

Unless those abilities are instant or thought-based then given the AP gap Ray could probably just kill them with Extreme Speed.
I went into this assuming Ray would need to boost, but given they already overpower, they have a lot of great openers.

 

[SomebodyData]

Extreme Speed is a bad idea since the X possession occurs on contact.

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Voting incon for the time being. I believe this solely depends on whether Ray attacks with a non-contact or its own body. If the former occurs then Ray one-shots and walks off completely safe, but if Ray decides to lead with a physical attack that makes contact it runs the risk of being infected and I don't think Ray would be knowledgeable enough to know what's happening in order to pull off a rest in time.

I can still be swayed either way.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Cosmic dragons

No King Ghidorah

 

[SomebodyData]

I think this is probably a stomp, X Parasites are intangible (Even when Samus has more forms of non-physical interaction) so even if Raquaza used a range attack, it'd only end badly for him.

 

[FinePoint]

What do you mean by intangible, and how are they intangible but can't be affected by non-physical interaction?

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Samus who has multiple non-physical interaction attacks was completely unable to affect them aside from allowing herself to be infected.

 

[FinePoint]

Is there anything that hurts him?

 

[SomebodyData]

Raq can hurt Neo Ridley, he just can't hurt the X-Parasites that spawn out of him.

 

[FinePoint]

So why exactly does Ray not one-shot with hyper-beam or other special attack?

 

[SomebodyData]

The X-Parasites, that Ridley is made out of, come out when he is heavily damaged or his form is destroyed.

 

[Oleggator]

^Is there a chance to change Ridley's version to make it non stomp? Like, he have a good amount of 5B forms.

 

[SomebodyData]

Its either stomp or be stomped I'm afraid.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Ridley vs anime Ghidorah tho?

 

[Oleggator]

Ridley vs anime Ghidorah tho?

Isn't anime ghidorah stats stronger?

 

[FinePoint]

But if Ridley is destroyed, then the X-Parasites kill Rayquaza, isn't it inconclusive and not a stomp?

 

[SomebodyData]

The X-Parasites could just reform Neo Ridley alongside Rayquaza-X

 

[FinePoint]

The X-Parasites could just reform Neo Ridley alongside Rayquaza-X

So how exactly in-verse are these X-Parasites dealt with then?

 

[Oleggator]

Uh-huh so despite AP advantage of Ray, Ridley's hax would defeat Ray.
As far as I understand, it would be one sided because of that hax(since because of that hax Ray doesn't have a win cons, as far as I understand).

 

[SomebodyData]

Idk, Fusion is at the end of the timeline, the game ends with Samus destroying their planet alongside the ship they were on.
