Re: Fight to the death the second: Round one: Ozymandias VS Kikadia

I think that he had an army of researchers and a cooperative example to create a machine that could duplicate some of the effects of the resident all-powerful super-hero. I think that he would bring with him some advanced, but basically mundane trinkets. I suspect that he could rustle up some sort of cable that could cut Kikadia if Kikaidia ran into it with enough momentum. On the other hand, this takes preparation, and Kikadia can search pretty quickly. There is a machine that can completely disintegrate matter, but it isn't exactly man-portable...
 The guy is basically an upgraded Batman...

No, Nite Owl is an upgraded Batman, aka Blue Beetle. Ozymandias is what would happen if Batman went completely insane, then combined his technology with that of Lex Luthor and the Green Lanterns.

Ozymandias, based on the researchers he uses, would have been perfectly capable of finding a way to seriously harm, even kill Kikadia, especially if the guy isn't actually invincible like most super-strong people claim to be. Oh, and if he found something sufficiently hard, I bet he could trick the 'bot into punching it, likely damaging himself in the process.

Kikaida has had some experience with unbreakable objects. The one time he ran into one he used heat vision to melt it, though it reformed sometime later due to being unbreakable.

I love you, 70's logic.

Setting fire to an adamantine sock is one thing, landing on an adamantine spike is another. And if I were Ozy, I would bring an adamantine staff and, upon determining that I was facing Kikadia, and possibly regardless, I would engineer a situation in which it would be practical for Kikadia to do a 900 kph charge into the pointy end. Possibly some variation of planting it at the end of a bridge that won't hold the weight.

But meh, give it to Kikadia, both these characters seem invulnerable if you make a couple of simple assumptions...

Well, Strelok wins the 'not ridiculous clothing' competition. I don't know much about either, though.

Strelok is a crack shot, expert sniper, master of stealth, and can instantly cause an APC to explode with one very fast stab from his knife (and he's unharmed by those explosions).  And he's fast enough to actually be able to use his Knife of Slaying Everything rather commonly.  He's got artifacts that give him powers beyond a normal human (regeneration, radiation resistance, super-endurance), and he's survived in a hellhole where people with shotguns are waiting around every corner.  He's fought through hundreds of badasses in order to get to his goal.

Tidus doesn't have a gun.  Or a bow.  Or a crossbow.  Or throwing knives.  Or...well, you get the point, right?  If he gets in melee combat, he'll get knifed and die instantly.  He's screwed.

It all depends on Strelok's loadout.

Just brings his rugged AKS-74u, a few Grenades, and the all-purpose SEVA Suit? Good chance, but no helmet.
With a helmet, he has 2nd generation night-vision. Plus a closed circle breathing module. But it's damn heavy.
He may require a few artifacts, but they vary a lot. He might just bring 5 health healing artifacts, or a bunch of cutting resistant artifacts.

As for weapons and shit, let's see.
Hunting Knife: Of course he'd have it. He's strong enough to break open crates and metal boxes with it in one swipe, but blowing up an APC is where you divide possible from glitches.
Makarov: Likely as a sidearm, has bullshit accuracy but almost infinite durability.
AKS-74u: The close range assault rifle, rugged but nice.
Fast shooting AKs-74: A stock AK-74, but with an absurdly high fire-rate, higher accuracy, and higher durability.
Stalker suit: Somewhat bad night-vision, and less resistance to stuff.
Merc suit: Similar to the Stalker Suit but has lesser resistance to all things except bullets.
VSS Vintorez: The silent, deadly, semi-automatic sniper rifle. Would be easier to use in the jungle rather than an SVD.
AS Val: Similar to the above, but automatic without scope.
AN-94: Unlikely to use, but pretty accurate.
ZM LR-300: Accurate, with good damage, but likely to jam a lot in the jungle.
SiG Sauer 550: Similar to the above, less likely to jam, and likely to be used by Strelok, due to previous usage.

I'm not deciding on his loadout though, so I'm just gonna say he brings his SiG or his AKs-74u, his SEVA Suit, and begins the fight with a few random artifacts.

Okay, even when not depending on odd hunting knife behavior, getting in melee combat with Strelok without having a shotgun is a stupid idea.  He's highly accurate at that range, and should be able to get a couple headshots before Tidus gets an attack in.

Or just a normal, non-buggy knife slash (not a destructo-stab) to the neck or head.  Stuns heavily armored enemies and kills them in two shots, takes out lightly armored enemies in one shot.

And finally, if Strelok does get hit, insta-healing insta-medkit and keep on fighting.  He'll usually carry 20 or so medkits and a lot of bandages (sure, there's a weight limit in the games, but it's high enough in Strelok's main game that he can carry a few guns, plenty of ammo for each, lots of health stuff, some artifacts, a few grenades, and nice armor without being slowed down).  To make up for the weight...energy drinks and endurance artifacts.  If he panics, run and drink.

Medkits: Let's divide from reality from game logic, obviously medkits don't heal that fast.

Oh, fine.  But even without fast medkits and knife stabs, he's fast, accurate, powerful, he can regenerate with certain artifacts, and good at all ranges.  Tidus has little in the way of protection from headshots.

He has courage, that's what makes young 16 year old bandits who saw their friends get killed fight Strelok.

Strelok's abilities are being way over-exaggerated. He's actually a very skilled regular guy who has some not so regular artifacts that boost his abilities. It all depends on how fast Tidus is really, because if he gets into melee range his high-level swords would cut through Strelok like butter.

Well, are Tidus' swords stronger than than a Pseudogiant? And wasn't the character changed?

Main thing I see in Tidus' favor is time magic, which is a part of his section of the Sphere Grid. I doubt it's that easy to shoot an oppenent under the effects of Haste while under the effects of Slow. Could help him get into melee range without getting filled with lead.
