TV Cartoon Battles: Mixed Teams TOC: Round 1, Match 2

[DTM]

Now THATS how you start a TOC. :)

With Team Imhotep leading Team He-Man by just a single vote, and days left to go for that match, its still anybodys game in the end. If you have voted their, support your team, if you havent as yet, go there NOW.

With pretty much the same rules as with all of my TOCs, except this time:

The terrain has been enlarged to 40 miles wide, as always, protected by a force field of the strongest power to prevent characters from escaping or flying their foes to the sun.

Team will now have a 10 minute "Planning Stage" where each team can talk and prep amongst themsevles against the opposing team. Characters may NOT leave their immediate area during this time and no powers, spells,etc. can be used. This is a planning, sharing information stage only.

Now without further adieu, allow me to present your next battle in a BRAND NEW (aka: OLD, OLD, OLD) type of Tournament Of Champions:


TEAM SUPERION: Galtar (Galtar And The Golden Lance), Kenshin (Samurai X), Wizardmon (Digimon), Superion (Transformers)


VS.


TEAM GUNDAM DEATHSCYTHE: Bruce Sato/Lifter (M.A.S.K.), Bravestarr (Bravestarr), Magmar (Rock Lords), Gundam Deathscyth v.2 (Gundam Wing)


As always, same rules apply, no time to prepare, POOFed from where ever they were, with only what they routinely carry on them AND/OR routinely used in their shows, to fight in a Large area til one stands and one falls. YOU decide Who.

Randomly Chosen Area:


Jungle Ruins - Lush, verdant trees rise over the jungle floor below. Thick vines crisscross the canopy. A large, ruined city complex sits in the center. It's fantastic masonry eroded by rain and time. In the middle it is bisected by a large, placid river flowing in at one end of the arena, and leaving through the other. (Inspired by: Tarzan, Jungle Book, etc)


Thanks all, and enjoy.

And REMEMBER, if youre not sure who someone is here, ASK. Theres PLENTY of people here who can tell you most anything youd like to know. Thanks again.

ALSO, please do your best to respect everyones votes, reasonings and opinions here. If you believe your character should win, but doesnt in the end, dont hold grudges against the character that beat yours, or call the votes that allowed this to happen "fanboy" arguments or plain and simply wrong. We all have our own way of thinking and voting here, with each one of our thoughts and ideas as valid as your own. Lets do what we can, even in the heat of an argument, to respect that. Thanks.


TV CARTOON TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS Part 5


ROUND 1

Team He-Man vs. Team Imhotep: Team Imhotep
Team Superion vs. Team Gundam Deathscythe: ??????


14 Down, 2 To Go

[Goose]

Dont know many of these guys all that well, but it looks like Team Gundam has a better support staff, so they get my vote for now. I can still be swayed.

[DTM]

Hmmmm, personally i might say the other way around really.

I see Wizardmon taking down Magmar, and as much as I like Bravestarr I see him losing more often to Kenshin. Bruces tech may allow him the advantage over Galtar, but Galtar is a warrior, to Bruce tech genius character, so fighting skill and experience are on his side. As for the SHW Im not really sure. Both are big fighting robots, where Superion has the strength and size plus, Deathscythe would have the fighting skill and speed plus.

Overall, its really a pretty close match up, though the lower end guys I see as favoring Team Superion.

[Magnito]

I know at this point, bios would be rather long, but they would still be extreamly helpfull. I only really know 1 or 2 out of the 8 involved in this fight.

[protectorate]

Magmar doesn't last long enough to matter. He's huge and Superion is going to blow him to pieces from range. After that Superion has a problem as both Bravestar and Bruce disapear into the forest. Deathscythe is cloaked, so Superion no longer has any targets of opportunity. Still, the opposing teams middleweight is down with ease, and Superion's team hasn't even broken a sweat.
Gundam Deathscythe uses it's cloaking abilities to carefully sneak up on Superion and gets in the first strike.
One of two things is going to happen here:
1) A defensive spell from Wizardmon blocks the attack (A shield spell or an illusion both come to mind, but I can't remember Wizardmon's abilities/tendancies) and and Superion lets loose a torrent of return fire. Deathscythe is severly damaged or destroyed.
2) Superion takes the hit, but will not be instantly out. Transformers (and Gundams too) tend to take massive damage before going down. Superion will blow some holes in Deathscythe, and Deathscythe cuts up Superion. One or both mechs go down in the end. Even if Deathscyth wins, severly damaged Wizardmon easily finishes it off.

For the low weights, I figure Galtar is toast no matter who he faces as both Bruce and Bravestar will simply shoot him from outside the range of his lance/sword.
Kenshin however is a different story. He should be able to take Bravestar 99% of the time. If he can get the drop on Bruce he'll win that, but with the sensors built into Bruce's mask that should be exceedingly difficult. If Kenshin doesn't manage a suprise, one hit KO then Bruce is gonna take him out with TK.
Even when Kenshin does manage to pull this off, there is no way he takes out Wizardmon or even a heavily damaged Superion.

Team Superion takes it.

All of the TV Cartoon Character Bios are now in a new thread, for anyone to view, post and comment on there.

[Zaq]

I'm thinking Team Superion. Bruce Sato and Bravestarr are out of their element in the jungle, and Kenshin can probably sneak up on them and take them out. From there, it looks like Wizardmon, Galtar, and Superion can concentrate fire on Deathscythe and Magmar. With it's cloaking ability, Deathscythe can probably get a good hit on Superion, but then it goes down. Superion and Deathscythe are almost balanced, but IMO Wizardmon tips the balance.

Team Superion to advance!

[icymatt]

Team Superion for a few reasons.
One, Kenshin cold probably take out Bravstaar and Sato by himself all stealthy, so leaves only Magmar and Deathscyth. Galtar and Wizardmon would take on Magmar, and Superion would fight the Gundam. I'm betting there be no casualties on Superion's side taking down Magmar, so then you got 4 on 1. Wizardmon jams the Gundams systems for a bit, Superion blasts/crushes it.

[Maniac_nmt]

Superion, by himself, vaporizes the other team. The rest can come along for the ride.

To make it even easier there is now a link to both the team listings and the biographies in the ToC index, right before the first team match.

[jedah_s]

could wizardmon cast spells that would affect deathscythe's pilot? (duo isn't it?)

[Forcefire]

Interesting match. If it were just SHW vs SHW, I'd hand the fight to Duo and Deathscythe, given that he has those weak spots to focus on (not to mention Superion being a bit on the slow side). However, Superion probably packs a superior support staff, and Wizardmon seems particularly able to assist in Deathscythe's destruction. So I guess it's Team Superion for me.

Pity. I always liked Deathscythe.

[Poring]

Nice match, but I can see Superion winning. I have seen the Deathscythe in action and can tell you that while it is a powerful robot capable of massive destruction with its energy scythe, Superion has the better overall strength and firepower. The things Deathscythe excels at that makes this match fairer are speed and stealth, both of which Superion is extremely poor at. However, Superion has three teammates who make up for this.

Wizardmon and Kenshin are always extremely aware of their surroundings, if one of them detects an unnatural disturbance in the terrain, or somehow hear the Deathscythe coming, and then they will immediately have the location of the Deathscythe, which Wizardmon will blast with his magic.

Galtar’s weapon is an awesome magical artifact: The Golden Lance. For some reason I would believe it would allow you to detect nearby enemies (A trait endowed to most enchanted weapons) if this is so, then Deathscythe is not going to sneak up on Superion any time soon.

Not to mention all four of them have the power to damage the Deathscythe. Galtar’s Lance is a magical spear that can slice through stone and steel easily. Another useful feature of the Lance is that it can be used as one weapon, or divided to make two separate swords. Imagine Galtar giving the other half to Kenshin. That’s like giving Kenshin Himura a light saber. Now both of them can slice metal and other objects. The Lance could slice even through dragon skin, so if ever the Lance reaches Deathscythe, it should deal a good amount of damage. Speaking of magic, Wizardmon is on Superion’s team. In case you have not yet clicked on the link in my signature yet, (Which gives basically all the info you could possibly want from this gifted wizard) then I can tell you that Wizardmon is more than enough for the Deathscythe to handle alone.

What happens to the rest of the team? Well, Magmar can easily be dispatched by even Galtar, because Magmar has only one real weapon, his Axe-Rifle, and if that is destroyed, then someone who has powerful Magic or extreme force can take him down (Galtar, Superion and Wizardmon come to mind)

The biggest threat on the opposing team is probably Bravestarr, because his laser turns people into dogs and disintegrates inanimate objects. But since their dog form does not make them lose their powers, it could nullify Galtar, but this could make Kenshin move even faster than before. Superion might suffer from Bravestarr’s laser, but I can tell you here and now that it will have absolutely no effect on Wizardmon, because there were numerous times in the series where they tried to chance Wizardmon’s body status and it did not work, simply because his body cant be transfigured. Besides that, he is neither a living being nor a non-living being, so that laser will do nothing dangerous to him.

Last but not least, Bruce Sato. His mask has telekinesis, but it only works on one thing at a time. So if Galtar and Kenshin decide to gang up on him, I doubt he can escape them both.

So final vote: Team Superion (and thanks again DTM!)

Forgot to mention: even a minor psychic assault from this enigmatic wizard could ruin the pilot of the Deathscythe.

well team superion gets my vote then.
deathscythe isn't nearly as effective if duo is taken out.

[Corzair]

TEAM SUPERION: Galtar (Galtar And The Golden Lance), Kenshin (Samurai X), Wizardmon (Digimon), Superion (Transformers)


VS.


TEAM GUNDAM DEATHSCYTHE: Bruce Sato/Lifter (M.A.S.K.), Bravestarr (Bravestarr), Magmar (Rock Lords), Gundam Deathscyth v.2 (Gundam Wing)

TEAM SUPERION would win this one hands down. Wizardmon would first go to the front and be the "tank" and take on the damage on from the other team. Then Deathsycthe goes in for the kill w/ his most powerful weapon, his deathscythe. Then after he misses the small but durable Wizardmon, Since he has a really big weapon Galtar will go in and hit him w/ his golden lance or even for better reasults Galtar could even "lend" his Golden Lance to Kenshin... Then that would be the end for Deathscythe. Then Bruce Sato who has the power of telekenesis will be overpowered by Wizardmon's psychic powers. at the same time that is happening Superion takes on Bravestarr, who has nothing else useful but a gun that can turn humans into animals(no offense)- Since that's the only thing that he has he won't even scratch Superion. Then they all just take on Magmar at the same time. Think about it 4 on 1.

So my vote is TEAM SUPERION hands down.

[DTM]

I think Ill have to vote Team Superion as well, mostly due to the better MW and HW (especially the HW) on that team. Wizardmon is someone I think would could really help Superion against Deathscythe, and Magmar could be easily dispatched (aka blown away) by the vast ranged power Superion can bring.

My Vote - Team Superion

[DTM]

Team Superion - 9 votes
Team Gundam Deathscythe - 1 vote

[Q99]

I too am voting Team Superion. Their MW can handle the other teams LW + MW, and the HW/SHW pairs also definitely favor Superion, with Wizardmon being the MVP of the team and covering for it's weaknesses.

[Rando]

I'll vote for Superion

I'm not confident in Deathscythe's ability to capitalize enough on it's suprise attack or on Kenshin and/or Wizardmon not to detect it comeing anyway, and speed and stealth are Deathscythe's only real significant advantage against Superion. I don't think Magmaer is versatile enough to take Wizardmon out of the picture quickly or durable enough to withstand the beateing even a damaged Superion can give him. Kenshin can ruin the opposing middle weight and LW alone.

Heck, this alone could be enough to make me vote for Team Superion. But the fact that Superion has such great support locks it up for me.

Even if the Deathscythe managed to stealth in for the first sneak attack he won't one-shot-kill Superion. Then Wizardmon shuts down Duo and it's all over.

Team Superion to round 2.

[MSU]

Meh...following the crowd. Team Superion for the win...Superion is just a great SHW and will be able to take out Gundam. Wizardmon is just a great duo for this team and will be able to tear apart Team Gundam. Team Superion for the win.
