Ok. This is going to require a long explanation for why the coyotes aren't fodder as per arguments from the previous thread. Before saying Walt would stomp a Coyote, people should read points 1-3 before actually claiming a stomp/false equivalency and missing something obvious. Until points 1-3 are countered, this match should be fine.

The assumption the high-end coyotes are very weak are closest to an example of framing; "The framing effect is the cognitive bias where in an individual’s choice from a set of options is influenced more by how the information is worded than by the information itself." I'll give an example of this.

"
"

Heck, while I don't usually call out bias since everyone including me is, I feel like I'll need reframe how the coyote is portrayed first here and challenge people to actually spot the difference between the message being conveyed in these 2 different sentences.
  • 1: "Coyotes typically get destroyed by humans. Larger ones are on the same size as the Husky."
  • 2: "Coyotes typically get destroyed by humans since generally they're smaller, however, larger ones physically equal to Huskies can greatly harm and kill humans."
These sentences convey the same message fundementally, it's just that the former portrays the Huskies in a negative light and vice versa for the latter.
And 2 other points, despite coywolves being used against coyotes, the coyotes used here are Eastern Coyotes, which Wikipedia (a lot of people use) clearly state they are Coywolves. They have extra muscle and pound-by-pound strength from this and the fact they're closely related and clearly physically similar to Huskies, a wolf-like breed of dogs (and not that they're scaled to a group of species involving Chihuahuas). Not to mention it's permissable to scale related and physically similar animals in profiles.

And before anyone says "The profile doesn't say they're strong pound-by-pound," keep in mind no profile is perfect and even Flashlight (the user who made the point) uses points/scans that aren't on the profiles in his matches.
Even if we dismiss the fact that the Coyote isn't on par with a Husky and they lack solo feats, they have combat experience hamstringing deer. Walt isn't going to have too many options if at least 2 predictably bite behind his knees and force him to crawl, so that's an actual wincon.

Conditions: SBA, Speed is equalized. 1 Coyotes (total weight of 25 kg) are bloodlusted against Walt. Further clarification: if it's not obvious already, the Coyote is 10-B while Walt is 10-A.
