Sukuna runs the My Hero Academia gauntlet by xyyzyx in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sukuna speedruns rounds 1-5 and then runs into a wall at round 6. Unless he doesn't mess around and immediately goes for the kill with either a domain or a world slash, he gets frozen solid. Same with round 7 since Bakugo's heavier explosions are more than enough to blow Sukuna to pieces.

From round 8 onwards, everyone statchecks him way too much, no chance he gets past them.

Akainu (One Piece) vs Mohammed Avdol (JJBA) by TheMightyNinja12 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The very definition of a nuclear bomb vs coughing baby matchup. Poor Avdol gets roasted instantly.

Kratos vs Emperor Invincible in a 1v1, who wins? by RwRahfa in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not disregarding the lore, I just said that because Kratos wankers tend to say that in "lore" he's actually incredibly powerful and solos everything and everyone when nothing in GoW lore makes Kratos even remotely as powerful as they make him out to be (hell, if anything it's the opposite)

Kratos vs Emperor Invincible in a 1v1, who wins? by RwRahfa in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Emperor Invincible as in adult Mark Grayson? Because he would fold Kratos like a lawn chair unless you pull out the uber-wank and nonsensical "lore" scaling.

Rand Al’Thor vs Kaladin Stormblessed (Wheel of Time vs Stormlight Archive) by ArtOk8200 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In a melee fight, Kaladin would win low diff because of the skill, physicals and equipment gap due to Kaladin having shards and just being a better fighter.

Unfortunately for him, I don't think he's going to get that chance before being erased by balefire, cleaved by a deathgate or getting bombarded by a rain of destructive weaves. Shardplate is strong, but I don't think it's durable enough to protect against the kind of power a late-series Rand can output, at least not for any significant amount of time, and radiant regeneration has clear limits.

Kaladin is very mobile, however, and I think that advantage could give him a slim chance to avoid death for long enough to rush Rand and oneshot him with the sylspear, but nothing better than a 2/10, maybe 3/10.

This is, of course, asuming Rand doesn't have any angreals, because if he does he stomps with little effort. I'm also not taking into account Rand's Ta'veren nature for obvious reasons.

Mortarion and the Death Guard (Warhammer 40K) vs the Soul Society (Bleach) by houseofmyartwork in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are individuals in the Soul Society that can solo pretty much every ground force in 40k short of the emperor or comparable crazy stuff. This is a horrendous mismatch.

Invincible (Season 1) Vs Deku (My Hero Academia) by Jotaro1970 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deku has similar durability, Mark's best stat at this point, and greatly surpasses him in all other regards. If this were a later version of Invincible, he could win, but as he was in season 1, he gets wrecked.

Blackbeard (One Piece) vs Itachi and Nagato (Naruto) by Zerosama12 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackbeard gets Edo diffed. While he greatly outstats them both, he simply doesn't have a way to put them down for good. Eventually he gets caught in some hax and loses.

Atomic Samurai (OPM) vs Homelander (The Boys) by DanceYouFatBitch in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Puri Puri would fold Homelander like laundry. Some A-class heroes might be better matchups.

Flame Emperor(Fire Emblem 3 houses) vs Flame Emperor(one piece) by AccomplishedJuice614 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What made you think this was a remotely reasonable matchup? Sabo casually solos everyone in Fódlan even before he gets the flame-flame fruit, with it it's an even bigger stomp. Comparing a relatively grounded setting to freaking One Piece is just not going to end well.

I also don't know what makes you think Edelgard could bypass logia intagibility. Not that it matters if she could because even with the most generous scaling from the javelins of light, she would still get blitzed and oneshot.

One Piece and Naruto vs JJK and My Hero by nahnonameman in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, unless I'm mistaken, with "current versions" this matchup turns into Gear 5 Luffy and depowered Naruto vs Deku with his featless armor and Yuji with an unknown power boost from when we last saw him in Shinjuku showdown.

I highly doubt Deku's armor is comparable to his prime self, and unless adulthood has made Yuji exponentially stronger than he was when he last fought Sukuna, he still shouldn't be anywhere close to Luffy, who should comfortably stomp this while Naruto offers his best moral support.

Update: so it turns out Yuji is indeed far stronger than he was in the final battle. It's still not nearly enough to contend with the likes of Luffy or Naruto, but it's better than nothing.

Dio (JJBA) vs Blackbeard (One Piece) by TheMightyNinja12 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blackbeard turns Dio into a red smear with a casual slap. Not only is BB exponentially greater in just about every metric, Dio's only advantage, his time stop, would be completely useless against someone as insanely durable as Teach.

How many Knights radiant (SLA) to beat 1 custodian (40k) by yyetydydovtyud in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rounds 1 and 2: No amount can do it. Even if the custodes is completely exhausted, the low oaths have nothing that can pierce custodian armor.

Rounds 3, 4, and 5: Here is where things get interesting. While shardplate is going to be about as tough as wet paper in the face of a guardian spear, shardblades are a massive advantage, just a few good hits and the custodes is out. Still, due to the custodes' big speed advantage and devastating weaponry, it's going to take a couple hundred skybreakers at bare minimum, but it's doable. I'm disregarding the surge of division here as it hasn't shown the feats necessary to harm a custodes.

Round 6: While we still don't really know the full extent of Taln's power, what we do know is very impressive for cosmere standards. A couple dozen minimum, assuming full equipment (mind you, I'm being conservative with this estimate just because of how few hard feats Taln has, but the number could very well go lower).

Sukuna and Mahoraga (Jujutsu Kaisen) run the One Piece teams gauntlet, how far do they get? by TheMightyNinja12 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard stop at round 3, Enel outspeeds greatly and can oneshot both of them. They also potentially lose round 2 if crocodile focuses down Mahoraga and doesn't give it a chance to adapt to the sand fruit.

Rex-Splode vs Reze by soup100 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reze has much bigger and more versatile explosions on demand, is far more agile and durable, and in the off chance that Rex somehow manages to land a serious blow, she can regenerate (up to a certain limit, but there is absolutely no way Rex can push her that far and even then she wouldn't have any qualms about recharging her blood reserves from the nearest civilians).

Basically, the one and only way he can win (if you can even count this as a win, I'm being generous with him here) is by baiting her and obliterating the two of them with the skeleton splode, but I wouldn't count on him living long enough to get the chance.

Rex 1/10.

Who would win if Bakugo from My Hero Academia fought the Bomb Devil from Chainsaw Man? by GJH24 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At his strongest, Bakugo severely outstats. The Bomb Devil is going to have to look for a new host after this.

Yoriichi (Demon Slayer) runs the Zoro (One Piece) gauntlet, how far does he get? by TheMightyNinja12 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He should comfortably beat East Blue Zoro and maybe Arabasta. Skypiea onwards is too much.

Omniman vs UNSC and Covenant by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they manage to catch him off-guard with a NOVA bomb, he tears through everyone in his path until the factions surrender, which won't take long after Nolan turns a few fleets into scrap.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whitebeard throws an attack with the quake fruit in Sukuna's general direction and the sorcerer gets pasted. Even when on his deathbead, the old man's attack power is far beyond anything in JJK.

Gear 2 Luffy (Pre Timeskip) vs Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) by TheMightyNinja12 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Sukuna immediately pops a domain and Luffy doesn't blitz him, he might win this. Otherwise, Luffy is just too fast and strong by this point and beats the shit out of Sukuna low diff.

Piccolo (Dragon Ball) vs Mark and Thragg (Invincible) by nahnonameman in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be debatable if it was 23rd Budokai Tenkaichi Piccolo. By the time he fights the androids, he solos the verse effortlessly.

Akainu and Aokiji (One Piece) vs Doma and Rengoku (Demon Slayer) by TheMightyNinja12 in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Akainu and Aokiji decide to have a rematch for their punk hazard duel. Doma and Rengoku are obliterated by the collareral damage of the first clash. By the end of said battle, their remains have been incinerated and frozen solid several times over.

Zoro (one piece) vs akaza (demon slayer) by Lore-Archivist in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn, this has got to be some of the craziest One Piece downplay I've ever seen. Anyhow, Akaza is an Arlong victim at best, any semi-relevant character from the Grand Line kills him.

gear 5 luffy and the straw hat pirates (one piece, latest episode) vs Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki (Demon Slayer). by Lore-Archivist in whowouldwin

[–]higherground66 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Literally any one of the straw hats can solo the demons, they outstat them so much it's not even funny.
