Senator Armstrong VS Kakuzu: Nanomachines vs Diamonds [7-0-2] [GRACE]

[Lilybitdun]

Kakuzu was contracted to kill the senator for a large sum.
Senator Armstrong: Upscales 65.875 megatons. 0.01804c
Kakuzu: Scales to 53.15 megatons, higher with Earth Spear or Combination Jutsu. At least 4.3 gigatons, possibly 4 teratons durability with Earth Spear. 0.02c
Fighting in a Waffle House parking lot, SBA otherwise.
Armstrong has an at least 1.2394x AP advantage while Kakuzu has 1.1086x speed advantage
"Nanomachines Son!": XSOULOFCINDERX, LegendariumOfLies, Delusionaltx2, Lilybitdun, Reploidnoridomix, Rex_Eckles, Oiguana2701
24/7 Grindset:
Hidan activates his true form and kills both (Incon): Ebihara, Peppersalt43

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Well Kakuzu has the sheer versatility advantage but doesn't Armstrong have the over all advantage in being basically unkillable since his durability far outstrips Kakuzu's AP? I'd say the same for Kakuzu but he has to activate a specific jutsu to do that, otherwise Armstrong's combat skill as funny as it might sound and physical strength edge will just let him kick Kakuzu's teeth in.

 

[Lilybitdun]

Good point, but there's a chance Kakuzu might win via battle of attrition
He can have his masks apply pressure via the combined attacks; a combination of wind and fire was enough to overpower Kakashi's water wall despite the elemental weakness so that should be enough to deal minor damage to Armstrong. Since masks can move on their own there's no reason why Kakuzu couldn't stay in Earth Spear to tank Armstrong's attacks.
Armstrong also has no resistance against Kakuzu's Paralysis Inducement, which would give Kakuzu opportunity to land his stronger attacks overtime.

Armstrong is literally too durable for Kakuzu to hurt with any of his attacks since Raiden couldn't hurt him at all even with a Dura Neg weapon until he just got an even better Dura Neg weapon and he was stronger than Kakuzu is. It doesn't matter what Kakuzu really has since he resists his two best elemental attacks, Lightning and Fire.

 

[Lilybitdun]

Honestly yeah fair enough, I'm not sure Kakuzu can even hurt Armstrong. Would Armstrong's matter manipulation let him bypass Earth Spear's durability?

Armstrong doesn't have any combat applicable offensive hax aside from his fire stuff.

 

[Lilybitdun]

Damn so neither can hurt each other, leaning to Armstrong since his durability is always active. I would bring up Armstrong potentially using his vastly superior lifting strength to choke out Kakuzu but I'm not sure if that's even possible with his body.

Question, is this a stomp?

pretty close to it yeah

kakazu can't harm bro and gets outskilled + his hearts wouldn't be too hard to catch since Armstrong has a fair bit of range and aoe

Actually killing him just becomes tideous more than anything

Edit: just realized armstrong dosent resist fear hax so nvm

 

[Delusionaltx2]

Thankfully chakra was updated at least a lil bit

anyways what does armstrong do against that

wdym?

 

[Delusionaltx2]

Higher lvls of chakra manip are accepted to have fear hax which applies to kakuzu

 

[Lilybitdun]

Is it strong enough to incapacitate Armstrong?

 

[Delusionaltx2]

Is it strong enough to incapacitate Armstrong?

Yeah (suicidal urges, paralysis, hallucinations, and unconsciousness are the notable ones)

 

[Lilybitdun]

Alright, do you want your vote changed to Kakuzu then?

 

[Delusionaltx2]

Alright, do you want your vote changed to Kakuzu then?

yeah (the fear hax is what he'd lead with)

 

[Lilybitdun]

Alright changed it, switched my vote to Kakuzu too

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Would those even work on Armstrong since the cyborgs in Metal Gear are explicitly stated to have their capacity for fear removed or something?
