Nope. They'd simply both be constantly on fire. That simple.

Terra: FIRAGA--

Mustang: Wall.

*Fire bounces off wall harmlessly*

Mustang: *snap*

*Terra dies in a horrible, horrible fire.*

[dragnar]

Except Terra's fire doesn't travel from her to her target. It's just suddenly there when her spell is complete. Also flare. It causes you to implode, then explode... no it doesn't make much sense.

[Josephus]

Neither does a futuretech Spartan-Armored soldier, of course.

Wasn't it established in the Golden Sun thing that the retarded anime-spells were representations of more boring, sensible spells?

[Josephus]

BAHAHA

"boring"

"sensible"

"spells"

Contradiction in terms, m'boy.

Also, no it wasn't. Besides which, even if Firaga, which is a huge burst of flames, is merely a representation of a "sensible spell", then that means that rather than having an elaborate animation and long casting time, Terra will merely set Tex on fire. Doi.

[Heron TSG]

Doesn't Roy Mustang still have to get through Ajax, the magic-resistant enemy of the gods themselves?

[CJ1145]

I meant the Implode, Explode one.

As for you Barbarossa, you seem to forget that Roy's fire isn't magic. It's fire. Seriously, nobody gets that right.

[Josephus]

So? In any setting with fire, magical fire is much worse than regular fire. That makes Roy even weaker.

[ein]

But the thing about real v magic fire is that the magic fire tends to vanish after a second.
Real fire keeps burning until it runs out of fuel.
It's like hitting somebody with a single, large bullet, or hitting them with thousands of tiny ones.

[CJ1145]

So? In any setting with fire, magical fire is much worse than regular fire. That makes Roy even weaker.

Not really. His fire is crazy-hot fire, proven to be capable of burning things just as resistant as Ajax to cinders. However, it's not magic. In FMA there is no magic; therefore, Ajax's resistance is a moot point, giving Mustang a serious edge.

[Heron TSG]

Technically Apollo started fires with magic. The fires just didn't effect Ajax because he didn't believe in them. I'd imagine this would work against oxygen-made fire, as well.

[Josephus]

I take it that since we're now arguing Mustang v Telamonides, Terra clearly wins against Tex? Fire is fire.

[Heron TSG]

I dunno, missiles with tracking can be pretty good against flying targets. Tex wouldn't exactly be helpless.

[ed boy]

I'm going to leave it another day or two in to give people who have limited internet access more opportunity to argue their point, but here is how I would judge it to happen.

In FF6, Terra is demonstrated to be able to withstand lots of modern (steampunk) technology, so I'm going to rule that regular weaponry will have little effect against her.

-The two combatants enter the arena
-Terra changes into Esper form
-Tex starts sneaking around using cover, whereas Terra starts flying around looking for Tex

At this point, I see one of two things happening. The first is if Terra finds Tex in good time:

-Terra finds Tex
-Tex starts shooting, while Terra fires off magic
-Terra wins, as she is resistant to Tex's weaponry and is able to output a lot of magical damage

Alternatively, if Tex manages to hide from Terra:

-Terra's esper form runs out. Since it can be only used once per battle, and she does not know any flying spells (flot is just a couple feet off the ground), she must continue on foot
-On the ground, Tex has the advantage in both stealth and strength
-Tex hunts down and kills Terra

The question is, which is more likely to happen?
