Elemental Who Would Win!

Yeah, with Toph innately negating Ultros's ink tactic, I think she can hold out long enough to pelt Ultros with heavy rocks until he's had enough and slinks off. Ultros' actual magic would make it not a walk in the park, but if her senses are good enough to predict attacks from other benders, I think she'd also be able to do things like sensing a charge in the air immediately preceding a bolt of LIT coming down and so forth, at least enough to defend and fight back.

The other fight's a close one. I do think if piercing/shooting damage wasn't doing anything to Lich, the T-1000 would eventually realize and adapt by shaping some blades for slashing or clubs for pummeling, both of which should be able to hurt Lich some. But he hasn't shown the speed to do things like a multiply-HASTEd warrior and doesn't have any magic of his own, so I still think it would take him a while to do enough damage, and meanwhile Lich's move rotation would have time to come around to some of the spells that would really hurt him or at the very least incapacitate him long enough for the match to be called.

The T-1000 has good foot speed since he was able to run down a dirt bike but that doesn't seem to translate to his attack speed. The 1K was also able to throw the 800 around and attacked him with a pipe (after the 800 threw the pipe into the 1K) so the 1K will using bludgeoning weapons if the opportunity presents itself. But I'm not sure how it could do that while battling the Lich. Maybe it could tear off one of Lich's arms? Although that probably wouldn't make for the best club to use...

Stone Man Vs Ghost Leviathan

A burly rock-bot vs. a massive sea beast!



Sixth Card

latest




Eartha Kitt Vs. Kapp’n

One of the great performers vs. one of the more questionable storytellers.



Also, I have one lonely competitor from who has no one to fight. Should they just get a by or should I give a random eliminated competitor a chance to get back in? Or some other option?

Ghost Leviathan seems much more dangerous than a single robot master that wasn't designed for underwater combat.

And Eartha I guess. She at least has some vigor.

Oh, and while Toph moves on, we need a tie breaker on T-1000 v. Lich.
Wait did I really forget to vote last round?

I would have voted for Toph (for being able to negate Ultros's advantages), and for Lich (because T-1000's gameplan is less effective against the magic-weilding undead).

@Violentvixen @Falselogic @Issun haven't voted in a while. Do any of you want to throw in on this one?
Yeah sorry I haven't known probably 70% of the competitors and writing up justification or reading everyone else's for every round is not something I'm up for right now. I've been popping in and voting when I feel like I get the matchup.

Anyway today's is one I get, Ghost Leviathan and Eartha Kitt.

I say bring back an eliminated competitor but one that had a non-zero win rate or was close to winning. I don't think bringing in a jobber would be very interesting. And if the elements aren't balanced then I think you should try to bring back in someone who gets them closer to being balanced.

That sounds like a good idea to me!

Yeah that sounds good.

And I agree with everyone else on the latest round, Leviathan & Eartha

I will contribute to the landslide of Eartha Leviathan, and also note that the one in that image is just a baby even.

Ghost Leviathan has the size and Eartha Kitt has the tenacity. I'm not sure what else needs to be said.

Well, I guess Eartha and Kapp'n would probably have a friendly battle of wits rather than resorting to fisticuffs, but my point still stands.

I'll be contrary and vote for Kapp'n. He has superhuman strength; he just never brings it to bear.

SECOND CHANCE!

Due to the odd number of competitors for this round, it seemed unfair to give Mr. Fantastic a pass to the next round so I randomly selected a former competitor to get a second chance… but no third ones! If this happens again, he’s out of the running! And our match up is….

Mr. Fantastic Vs. The Big Bad Wolf


Master of super science Vs. the deadly predator of myth and legend.

No time for a long exploration right now, but... Reed can surely figure out some way to subdue a dangerous, slightly superpowered wolf.
 

Olli

(he/him)
Mr Fantastic could easily wrap a hand around the wolf, forcing it into submission. Even if the wolf managed a bite, Reed is extremely durable, and he could most likely shrug off a chomp or two. A breath attack doesn't seem likely to be useful against Mr. F either, as he could easily just grab onto something and hold on.

Reed could also probably roll up into a ball to minimize damage. The Wolf might be able to blow Reed out of bounds but that seems unlikely. And I don't think the Wolf is going to be able to trick Dr. Richards either.

Canines in general love to keep anything rubbery around as squeak toys, and my understanding of Mr. Fantastic is at this point he's basically just the sort of evil mad scientist who sees something dangerous and goes ooh, I need to study that. So neither's really gonna be super invested in ending the fight for selfish alterior motives but eventually this is inevitably gonna lead to one of those big dumb Event Comics where there's werewolf versions of a bunch of superheroes running around and I'm pretty sure that counts as a win for the wolf.
