They have a slow projectile speed compared to a bullet, they would be difficult to aim with a fast moving target like Tex. And I think that telekinesis can be discounted, it is always slow and only on inanimate objects. Vader throws a bit of furniture about, but that has little effect. Vader also chokes people via telephone calls, but that could be mental manipulation as much as telekinesis. There is nothing that even remotely resembles throwing someone against a wall with sufficient force to kill them. Tex just keeps moving and shooting, eventually Luke succumbs...

Heh, and I don't think Luke can force choke over the phone, in the movies anyways
(I'm no Star Wars fan, so idk)

So much wrong thing

Tex is not faster than a blaster bullet, te only thing that protect jedi is precognition and intense training. You dont see anybody else dodging them, since they simply can.

Force choke works on anything you see, distance is  not really important unless it's huge. Throwing into a wall would pin her down, and he could close the gap and finish her with the saber.

Telekinesis is not slow, unless what is being telekinesedextremely heavy, wich is not the case.

After the final, I think we should take a few requests for matchups that were never made. Gilgamesh vs. Ajax, for example.

[Josephus]

Yes, I would like to see this.

[ed boy]

Certainly. List any you would like to have, and we will do those after the final.

[CJ1145]

Oh yeah, the exhibition matches will be great fun.

As far as business goes, I really don't know which way to call this. Given the location of a tropical island, I think I have no choice but to hand this one to Mustang.

Hear me out before you start shouting, Terra's fire was at least as powerful as Mustang's, but the reason it wouldn't have worked against Tex is because she has to aim it specifically, and could easily miss. Mustang's fire is far more wide-sweeping, and on such a flammable island it's almost certain that Tex would be caught in the fire. Not only would this cost her her camo, she would also likely take enough heat damage over the course of ten seconds to bring down and keep down her shields, allowing Mustang the ability to roast her flesh (or circuitry).

Roy can't simply incinerate everything in sight, though - If the entire island goes up in flames, he would be in danger himself.

That brings up the question, how the hell are people getting off this tropical island? Wasn't it specified they had to leave the arena by their own power? You don't expect some of these guys to swim for twenty miles, I hope.

[ed boy]

Magic. A doorway appears out of thin air, and the characters are told that they have to fight one of several people, and that they have three days to go through. They can take whatever will fit through the doorway in one trip (No going back and forth to transport multiple items). The two doorways link to a pair of doorways on the island. The characters emerge from their respective doorways simultaneously, and they are sealed until the character can kill the other. The survivor must then return to their doorway (so suicide attacks are not allowed) to win.

[CJ1145]

Okay, cool. As for the "don't die" option, Mustang could simply make his way to the lowest point on the island and launch his attacks from there. I would say highest point for the advantage, but the smoke would kill him.

[RAM]

Well, I expect that Tex could Stay alive by keeping trees between her and Mustang. How many walls of fire does she have to dodge before she gets a chance to shoot at Roy?

[CJ1145]

Well, assuming he uses walls as opposed to an all-consuming wave, I'd guess about four.  And I don't know a lot about tropical trees, but I imagine they'd burn quickly enough with that kind of power being thrown at them.

[ed boy]

Setting living trees alight is rather hard - Although the peripherals like the leaves will go up easily, getting the main body of the tree to set alight is damn near impossible, espiecially in a environment with so much moisture.
