Welcome to Round 9 of the 8-A U.A. Sports Festival Tournament!
​

VS Thread​

  • Fights will take place within the Fighting Tournament Ring with a full stadium.
  • Speed is equalized.
  • Competitors are informed of the rules and that they're in a nationally televised competition.
    • Competitors will act in character with this knowledge (I.E a Competitor that doesn't care about winning and fame, not fighting as hard as they normally would, or a Competitor that would kill the opponent despite knowing the rules).
  • The conditions for winning a match are: knocking out the opponent, rendering them unable to move, or getting them to step out of bounds/surrender.
    • Another wincon is if a competitor does something that would get them "disqualified' in-universe, that would also count as a win for the opponent (I.E, if Character A kills Character B, that would count as a win for Character B in a VS Thread)
  • Killing the opponent/overbrutalizing them, harming or attacking the audience intentionally or unintentionally, or bringing in outside help, will result in an in-universe disqualification.
  • All competitors are given the option to view the other previous matches in-universe.

Tournament Thread Rules:​

  • If a character gets no arguments for around 3-4 days, the opposing competitor will automatically go to the next round.
  • If a thread gets no votes or the votes are tied for 3-4 days, I will decide who I think advances based on the arguments given.
    • If a character I submitted is involved, however, I will coin-flip instead to prevent any bias on my part.

Bakugo has the AP gap so remotely anything AOE is nearly killing Luffy which he cannot do.
Luffy has the LS advantage.
I guess it's a game of "who can land the first hit".
I'm going with Luffy. He has RPL/AD so the AP gap shouldn't matter too much anyway. He has went from getting thrashed to trashing similar foes so the AP gap would shorten pretty quick. He has ANPR ad Info Analysis so movement tech isn't very useful here.
Luffy AP comes from Sanji, who arlong slammed, who luffy can fight and win against. His AP skyrockets with fruit usage and bazooka.
Luffy, mid diff. An explosion would almost kill but luffy should be able to AD through it and get off the win eventually.

Bakugo's can control the output explosions and he can def make it so they K.O foes without taking away too much of their power.

Even with the LS advantage, Luffy has no good way of exploiting it here afaik. Bakugo can pretty easily free himself from a grapple with his explosions due to the large ap difference and even if he couldn't escape a grapple he could be able to recover from being thrown out the arena with his quirk.

Bakugo should be able to quickly knock Luffy out of the ring or a K.O him with a few explosions due to the starting AP difference so he might not have the chance to AD the gap away.

That'll just allow for quicker AD.

Luffy can BFR via his fruit to distant lands. Luffy's LS is via unfruited fingertips. His LS is far higher than whats show.

Luffy has air control and self-movement air control. That's not a problem.
 
Luffy's endurance is too good to fall from a few hits and he will close the gap fairly quickly thanks to his AD. His strongest attacks are over 2x higher than his normal AP (which he regularly spams), meaning in reality he only needs to cover half the apparent gap to start being able to better withstand blows.

On the flip side, literally any attack from Luffy would BFR Bakugo like Team Rocket. Voting Luffy.

Should note that this is more than a 6x gap so luffy would need to adapt extremely quickly before getting KO'd


If Luffy was like kaneki then I could see it but his AD is an overtime thing and that's bad when at most 2-3 explosions is gonna be needed here

One shot gap for the wiki is 5x, luffy is getting one tapped by a single explosion.

Bakugo’s mobility is better than Luffy’s in this case and his AoE means getting hit is inevitable. AD is irrelevant since Luffy is getting one shot by any attack thrown his way. Luffy’s mid air mobility is way worse than Bakugo straight up capable of flying around.

Also none of it matters. Cause he gets one shot. And Luffy gets hurt by Don Krieg explosions consistently and they have him coughing and in pain. Bakugo explosions are sending him packing immediately.

Like I noted before, Luffy's not gonna have the chance to AD the gap away since he's gonna be out in like 2 explosions.

Like I said, Bakugo can pretty easily free himself from a grapple by blasting Luffy's arms away from him using his explosions regardless of the LS gap due to his much higher AP.

?
With a humanoid character, versus threads usually treat the assailant as needing an Attack Potency eight times higher than their opponent's durability to one-shot them.

One-Shot

A One-Shot is a self-explanatory term, referring to defeating an opponent with a single attack. Take two hypothetical opponents. We'll call them Fighter A and Fighter B. In a normal fight, Fighters A and B can exchange several attacks with each other. When one of the fighters can one-shot...

Luffy himself is very agile and has keep up with people just as good, if not better acrobatics than himself thanks to the mobility granted from his devil fruit.

No he isn't.
Also he does get hurt but didn't Luffy beat him after a short period of time? He went from getting thrashed to just beating him up in a short span of time.
 
Damn, idk where I got one shot gap was 5x from. I think the thread on it went over my head and I never realized the conclusion, my bad.

But yeah no 6x gap too big for Luffy still. Can’t BFR since Bakugo will just explode himself back or explode Luffy and negate the attack. He consistently has to put his body near Bakugo to do anything, which means he’s getting hit with 6x his dura attacks. Near one shots from someone with big AoE and who spams attacks is gonna put bro down before he can adapt, bare minimum knocking him out of the ring since he just can’t avoid it.

How fast did his AD take vs Arlong? You’re claiming it’s gonna take two hits before his Ad kicks in, when does that ever happen? Why didn’t he AD and stomp Rob Lucci the moment he saw him if that’s how fast it works?

When has his AD covered a 6x stat gap in fast succession? Even if he does start getting his AD, on what grounds is it going to activate and stack up fast enough? Hell, against Don Krieg, he had a drawn out fight to get through his armor and endure his attacks, why didn’t he ADRE within seconds vs him?

Bakugo is going to be ending this fight well before Luffy even approaches his AP. He’s getting knocked out or ringed out well before that point since he has no clear answer to the explosions just blasting him.

Can't directly ping arkans message for whatever reason

@Arkansalter2 what you linked was kachon talking about how the wiki says it takes an 8x difference to one shot another character cross verse.

I asked for scans suggesting that luffy can adapt to a foe who can ko him in two to three hits

Idk why people forgot that where they fighting is a open arena that has limited space, it's about when he will hit Luffy with that type of area

Throwing kachon under the bus after votting via AD is wild

@Kachon123 please show scans of luffy adapting to a guy who can KO him in 2-3 hits extremely quickly

Luffy, similar to his brother Ace who he grew up fighting and training with has qualities that allow him to grow large amounts in the middle of battle. Ace was able to completely overpower someone he couldn't even damage moments prior. Luffy did the same against Crocodile. He was able to destroy Crocodile’s Desert Spada technique with each of his punches and even tank his ultimate attack while in a state of being poisoned, and having been impaled, dried out, and buried earlier. For reference, Luffy had to go out of his way to dodge Desert Spada twice, as he would have been completely bisected.
