Maybe Garou's RE is gonna take place since EBGbro is stronger than Garou. Once that happens, then it'll be an even and banger fight.
Does Garou scale to Incineration Cannon's
303.5 kilotons of TNT? Or does he upscale a buttload from
32 kilotons of TNT? I'll just assume the former cuz it would make sense for both the fighters to be High 7-C.
John EBG (I'm going to call the player this to make it easier) upscales from
286 kiloton meteors (which are stated to be pulled from the sky) and being able to
generate a giant sphere of ice with their ults. The meteors are one of their
weaker ults -
the damage from the individual meteors is weaker than
the damage of a single water blast. EBGplayer, who I am going to assume has their stats completely maxxed out, should do like ~50% more damage than he does at base. Assuming Garou scales to Post-Superfight Genos, whose max-power Incineration Cannon is
303 kilotons of TNT. The profile says he can reach Large Town level+ (607.2 kilotons of TNT)
John EBG's going to have the sheer damage advantage right off the bat considering the meteors are a weaker ult compared to something like
a ginormous ************* dragon that shoots a death ray. With regular moves,
John EBG can perform devastating combos. Garou is going to have to dodge when he gets hit with
two different omnidirectional blasts that are stronger than their meteors individually, blinded, and then getting pelted with a bajillion fireballs.
methink John Elementattack might outhax a little.
John EBG doesn't really have much in the way of "I shoot you with this and you decay from the inside out in 2 seconds" or "I BFR you into another dimension forever" or "I shoot a homing projectile that will steal your soul" types of fight-ending hax like John Gear does. Most of their abilities just rely on raw damage either through KE (water blast, rock throw), heat (Fireballs, plasma), cutting (sharp objects like needles), or other gooky stuff. There's a few abilities worth mentioning:
Garou is bastard-fast. I don't know much about the character but in
this video he can deal with like 8 people at once using projectile weapons, gets impaled by a bunch of arrows, gets shot, and can punch fast enough to swat bullets out of the air. While fighting Genos,
he uses Watchdog Man's style of movement and bounces around trees very quickly.
Garou's movement speed is going to give John EBG a lot of trouble, especially if he can run away with it. John EBG doesn't have the same ability to bounce around the arena super fast; they can
maybe boost their passive movement speed with body spells (that prevents them from using other body spells like Inertia or Angelic Aura), or they can use transportation spells that have a sizeable cooldown to move fast.
Despite Garou's movement speed advantage and skill,
he can still get fooled by Genos' detachable arm. I don't think he's gonna be able to predict even
half of the stuff that John EBG has.
Verdict
Until someone more knowledgeable about Garou tells me otherwise, I'm voting for John EBG.
Garou's speed is going to give John EBG trouble, but Garou (at least in his Hero Hunter key) hasn't fought anyone with as much versatility as John EBG. One timestop is going to pretty much let John EBG kill him in maybe one combo, Elemental Intangibility is going to give Garou a problem with punching him, abilities like Slime Shield are going to open up Garou to taking nasty damage, and there's a bunch of other shit he's not going to be able to reasonably predict.
