Berdly fights literally just a real falcon.

"They use this via digging claws into objects at this speed, thus not being killed by the collision"

Mate, the profile literally acknowledges that if they actually tackled something at that speed instead of using it in a more indirect way they would be killed. I'm pretty sure a second grader's reading comprehension is sufficient to understand that

There's no need to compare anyone to a second grader

This is reminding me I gotta revise IRL animal pages one of these days. They be stinky

The profile ALSO states that they do use that WITHOUT dying from the collision. Let's learn to read the entire thing and not the part that's convenient to you, then your unnecessary comparison will sound less arrogant and hypocritical.

Yes, that is specifically because they use their claws, while making impact against an incredibly light, tiny, mid-air weight that is attempting to fly away from them, not their actual body against a much bigger mass, aka Berdly. It's the difference between slapping a baseball flying by you with your fingers and punching concrete, one of them might hurt but the other is going to break your knuckles, and it's not the former.

But don't take my word for it, how about this?

"Peregrines often kill their prey by diving quickly toward them, then hitting them with bald up feet or scraping them with open talons. Before the strike they turn up, thus putting on the brakes to slow down before passing by their prey for their kill."​

​

"The falcon closes its feet, and uses them to knock the prey out of the sky."​

​

Or how about this entire article that acknowledges that Peregrine Falcons would be completely flattened if they actually smashed against something hard while diving?​

it can technically just scrape the person's vital point really hard
you are trying to argue that there is a 0.00001% chance of that happening, but here's the problem, if it's not a 0% chance then it's not stomp

Huh?... No, that's not how it works. If the chance was that unlikely, the match would be unreasonably one sided, and thus, a stomp.


Falcons can kill humans. It can definitely kill Berdly, and have a somewhat decent chance at that. (Decent as, 5%)

Yeah, Falcons can still kill humans.
"Falcons have territorial instincts and tend to attack humans and others if they find their dwellings in danger. With their hooky beaks, they can rip the flesh apart, but can also cut through the spinal cord of their victim. So, if a human is attacked by a falcon, serious injury could occur."

But if Berdly wins 95% of the time, that means he wins for the purposes of the thread, right?

Uhh, I don't understand what you mean, could you rephrase that?

 

[frissen]

Uhh, I don't understand what you mean, could you rephrase that?

You said the Falcon kills Berdly 5% of the time. That implies that in the other 95% of the time, Berdly kills the falcon. I'm fairly sure (although not certain) that winning in 95% of possible scenarios counts as a win for a vs thread.

ok then we have a bit of a subjective element here

These percentages are arbitrary, I made them up. They're supposed to represent how the match is going.

Falcon can rip Berdly's flesh, but this takes more effort than Berdly simply slamming the bird's shit with his wing, thus, he is more likely the winner here.

So we agree that Berdly wins here?

Berdly FRA. Also, if the Peregrine Falcon goes for a dive, what stops Berdly from taking cover inside Sans's shop?

I have. Don't think it was counted, though.

I mean, yeah, a full-body tackle would shatter the falcon to bits, it has hollow bones and it's rated 10-C in durability for a reason. Its only hope is to gauge out Berdly's eyes or something along those lines.

Berdly grabs the bird and snaps its wings, getting some nasty cuts along the way.
