A teacher fights A living train.

Baldi is on the tracks and 20 meters away from Thomas. Speed equalized. Thomas is 9B and bloodlusted so that he can properly fight Baldi. Who wins and why?

Who has the higher AP? Because this whole battle hinges upon what goes splat when they ram each other.

Not sure. Though, Thomas capacity likely compares to all the other trains in real life, and lets assume its Wall at low end. Assuming its a pile of coal at the weakest, lets say the pile is a meter tall. Baldi has one shotted the player on the other hand, who was able to survive being smashed by 1st Prize/Gotta Sweep. Not sure exactly whos stronger, as Thomas' profile doesnt show images on how much he can carry.

I did a calc or two for Thomas before. It was only in comment form, sadly, but IIRC it came out to something like 0.71 kg of TNT at full force. Baldi should be able to win with the usual "stay off the track".

The thing is that it's not in character for Baldi to deviate from his target. That's what makes this thread different from the rest, Baldi will charge Thomas and the only way either can win is if one has higher AP.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

That... is an interesting point, actually. Baldi only moves in straight lines. What a gross thread. Alright, let me try to re-calc the KE of Thomas. IIRC his top speed was 40 mph, or 17.88 m/s. He's based on this, which weighs 53,600 kg].

KE = 0.5m x v^2 = 8.568e6 Joules, so actually fairly higher than I remembered at 2.05 kg of TNT. Still not Wall level+, but close. Meanwhile, Baldi upscales from a pitiful 0.004 kg of TNT (namely, he one-shots a character that tanks 0.004 kg of TNT with no damage).

So... something like a 500x AP advantage here. Gonna close on the basis of a brutal AP stomp in favor of Thomas.
