To the town of Z-City rode a stranger one fine day...

[Shmooply]

This matchup has been living rent-free in my brain for months on end, so it's time I finally make it.

Spoiler: PLOT SUMMARY

During what seems to be just an average, plain day, King was suddenly told to investigate rumours of a Demon-level threat in one of the casinos located in Z-City. Confused, he strolled on over to this casino, and stumbled upon an odd sight...
Standing before him was a startled group of citizens, the casino's staff, and a bunch of sobbing gamblers. He saw that all of the gamblers were cowering in fear infront of one specific table. Seated near this table was a well-dressed, ranger-looking individual. The individual stared at him, and King glared back. This human-looking fellow convinced the S-Class Hero to play a game with him.


1) A round of Caravan
2) A round of Roulette
3) A round of Blackjack


Will King be able to best this mailman in all of these games? Or, will everyone witness as their high-ranking hero messes up and fails to win anything? Only one way to find out...

The King -
Courier Six - 3 (Xit, Cinder, Loyd)
Kanye West (INCON) -

I've heard that King's luck works when he's playing games as well, so that's what lead to me making this thread.

I don't know a lot about OPM so I had to check the wiki, but if I'm understanding it right, Courier's got this.

King's luck seems to occasionally backfire? Meanwhile Courier's luck is only positive, and has proven applicable in games to help him get better odds or even just auto-win rounds sometimes.

I can't find evidence that King's got any history with these kinds of casino games and knows how to play (to be fair no one knows how to play Caravan...), while Courier has played all of them before, to the point of getting banned from gambling from multiple locations. King seems VERY skilled in video games but Courier's more skilled in these area of 'games'.

And Courier has an extra advantage that some of his 'luck' is analytical prediction, perfect for these kinds of games.

King seems VERY lucky, but Courier's luck seems more consistant, and his actual skill more applicable.

Agreed.

Minor correction, apparently we ditched 'analytical prediction'? ...point still stands based on the feat though, I guess it's just more Information Analysis now instead?

can deactivate a security system with an incorrect password, can make casinos go bankrupt just by sheer luck while playing blackjack, can causes weapons to suddenly break and opponents to miss multiple attacks despite being right next to them)
this never stops making me crack up courier FRA

I’m not sure who would be luckier here. King’s luck is much more consistent at keeping him alive, but when it comes to games like this the Courier literally can’t lose and is permanently banned from every casino in Vegas. So I think the Courier’s luck is probably more consistent when it comes to games. Also the Courier has experience with these games and blows King out of the water with their intelligence. Even if King is luckier, I don’t think it’s a big enough gap to prevent the Courier from destroying him with his intelligence and experience advantage + being able to make King constantly second guess himself due to their social influencing.
