Battle Na'vi (Avatar) VS Vulcan (Star Trek)

2 Upvotes

Na'vi and Vulcans are both way more dangerous than humans. They're both stronger, tougher, and have a weird ability to meld minds with other things. If they ran into each other they'd probably get along pretty well, but which do you think would win in a fight where they were trying to kill each other?

Fight takes place on Pandora. Assume Vulcan can breathe without issue and Mind Meld isn't an auto-win.


  • Round 1: A random Vulcan versus a random Na'vi.

  • Round 2: Half human battle. Jake Sully versus Spock

  • Bonus Round: What's the strongest thing in Star Trek a peak Na'vi could take down on Pandora? Any low tier scifi gods who could get sniped by an arrow?

Challenge Could Tiber Septim / Talos (Elder Scrolls) unfuck the Imperium of Man (40k)

12 Upvotes

Emperor Tiber Septim finds himself awakening one morning atop the Golden Throne, and not the Ruby one. He looks around at the Empire he now rules over, and decides things need a change.

R1: Tiber Septim in his prime, no CHIM, no Numidium, but full-powered Dragon Shouts

R2: With the Numidium powered by the Mantella

R3: He has achieved CHIM

R3.5: What is the smallest singular change he can use CHIM make that helps mankind the most, so as to "not wake the dreamer"? (Like he retconned Cyrodiil from a jungle to a temperate plains.)

Battle Who would win in a fight: Serious Sam or V1 (Ultrakill)?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I was playing both games recently and a thought popped into my head: if they ever crossed paths, who would actually win in a fight?

Let's set some specific conditions for this battle:

Serious Sam: Version from Serious Sam 4, playing on "Normal" (Human) difficulty. He starts with 100 Health and 100 Armor.

V1: Standard version, starting with 100 Health.

Given these exact stats and gear, who takes the victory and why? I'd love to hear your thoughts and breakdown of this matchup!

Battle Spartan Blue Team (Halo) run an oil rig gauntlet of space marines! (Warhammer 40k)

16 Upvotes

Blue team in their up to date armour will be fighting increasing waves of space marines in each round, with the question being which wave do they stop at in each round?

Location: Massive multi-tiered oil rig in the middle of the ocean. Astartes spawn at the bottom, Blue team spawns at the top next to weapon and ammo stockpiles. Their AI have hacked CCTV system plus all computers/laptops/phones laying around.

Rules: The Astartes think they're hunting chaos marines (no prior intel). Blue team know separatist super-soldiers are coming. Damage carries over between waves, but each round is its own prompt. Blue team have 30 minutes of prep time before each wave. They can set up traps or do anything they want to get ready.

Waves: (spawned after the prior wave is wiped):

Wave 1: 2 marines

Wave 2: 4 marines

Wave 3: 6 marines

Wave 4: 8 marines

Wave 5: 12 marines

Wave 6: 20 marines

Rounds:

Round 1: Standard UNSC & Covenant stockpile (Snipers, rockets, fuel rod cannons, needlers, grenades and mines ETC).

Round 2: Adds standard 40k Astartes weaponry (Bolters, plasma guns, meltas, power swords, grenades and mines ETC).

Round 3: Adds Forerunner tech (Binary rifles, sentinel beams, cindershot, ETC).

Round 4: Added time extension. Blue team now have 6 hours to prepare for each wave instead of 15 minutes. Keep in mind they can use power swords to cut and re-shape the rig to create chokepoints etc.

How far do they survive in each round?

Battle Could the Red Baron and his Flying Circus (WWI) take down Aegon the Conqueror's three dragons (ASOIAF)?

65 Upvotes

Taking place in the skies above 1918 France, Manfred von Richthofen's JG1 squadron, best known as the Flying Circus, takes on the three dragons Aegon I used to conquer most of Westeros: himself riding Balerion, plus his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys riding Vhagar and Meraxes, respectively. 

von Richthofen will have the full strength of the Flying Circus (circa 1918) at his command, consisting of 48 German fighter planes, either Fokker D.VIIs or Albatros D.IIIs. Each plane is manned by a single pilot, and armed with two Spandau machine guns, which can fire at a rate of ~450 RPM with a capacity of 1000 rounds. Their effective range is roughly 2,000m. The planes can reach an altitude of 20,000 ft and have fuel capacity to stay in the air for 90 minutes, while travelling at speeds up to ~110 mph. The aircraft are built from plywood, and so are extremely flammable.

The Targaryens and their dragons are from the beginning of the Conquest, or 2 BC, in ASOIAF history. Each dragon is massive, with Balerion being maybe the largest to ever exist. Assume each is over 100m long, and ridden by their respective Targaryen, wearing armor/clothing that dragonriders have been shown to wear in the TV shows. Since there are only vague accounts of Aegon's dragons in the ASOIAF lore, consider the show's (particularly House of the dragon) versions as a baseline for their abilities.

Could the Red Baron and his Flying Circus defeat the Conqueror's dragons? The win condition for the Germans is incapacitating all three dragons and their riders, while for the Targaryens, it is total destruction of the fighter squadrons. No ground support is allowed for either side. It is a clear summer day.

R1: Zero prep time for both sides.

R2: 48 hrs prep time for both sides, though the additional time does not allow the Germans to add any more weaponry to their planes.

Battle Could Xenomorphs would win against Superheroes?

6 Upvotes

Hi all!
Im just looking to hear thoughts about what you believe would happen in a world that included both superheroes like Superman and Xenomorphs.

Ive thought on it and find myself unable to really decide which side would be capable of winning.

At first I believed that superheroes would have no problem defeating xenomorphs until i remember how xenomorphs breed- the risk of just one superpowered life being impregnated with eggs could result in superpowered xenomorphs which would change things entirely, would a super powered xenomorph- then their offspring, make them more of an equal to superheroes?

I think the liklihood of this happening would be high too considering how xenomorphs adapt their hunting based on prey- abundance likely being the most efficient tool for them to overwhelm and invade one superhero. I just cant determine if a group superheroes (im imagining the Justice League for example) would be capable of dismantling something like that while at the same time understanding that their abilities and tools may still give them the upper hand.

What are your thoughts?

Not an actual fight. Instead, Naruto has 1 month to talk-no-justsu Freeza into sparing his planet. Freeza is forced to listen to everything Naruto has to say, though he is allowd to talk back. Naruto may bring in other characters to help, but no violence of any kind is allowed (including genjutsu and other shenanigans).

Naruto is fully aware of how boned his world is if he fails to convince Freeza.

This is current DBS Freeza.

Battle Drizzt Do'Urden (Forgotten Realms) VS Batman (DC Comics)

14 Upvotes

Drizzt just keeps getting stronger. Dude started off strong and has progressively just gotten more dangerous. Do you think at this point that he'd be able to take on Batman? They're both stealthy heroes who use sick equipment, transcendent skills, and the power of friendship to take on ridiculously dangerous threats, right? Drizzt's Monk feats and hundreds of years of experience are pretty solid, but I'm not sure how that matches up against a guy who fights galactic threats every few weeks.

Drizzt and Bruce end up in a forest together and forced to fight. Who wins?

Batman is current DC Prime Earth version. Drizzt is most modern version. Both have their normal equipment and no special stuff or one off stuff.

Respect Threads: Drizzt and Batman, though I'll note that I don't think either is fully up to date.


  • Round 1: Both in character.

  • Round 2: Both bloodlusted.

  • Round 3: They start on opposite sides of an abandoned castle and have to hunt each other down.

Darth Vader has some important information that Starfleet needs to save the galaxy. Vader isn't keen on sharing the information. Mr. Spock lays hands on the crispy Sith flesh and tries to use his psychic Mind Meld ability to get the information out of him, either by forcing him to say it, just plucking it from his mind, or through any other psychic means. Can Darth Vader resist or is Spock gonna get what he wants?

Both are at unamped peak power.

  • Bonus Round: The roles are reversed and Vader is trying to get some information out of Spock instead.

Challenge Pepsi-Man vs the Demon Slayer verse

7 Upvotes

Pepsiman clocks in at small building level as does demon slayer and he has blown through multiple houses like it’s nothing so he obviously isn’t made of just aluminum. Speaking of which, he can’t bleed as he is a living can of Pepsi which makes putting him down a very difficult task for the demon slayers. He also has passive Regen and may be indestructible idk. He can also throw cans of Pepsi very fast and can summon it anywhere making a flood or attacks relating to that. Cutting his head off might not do anything as he has limited Toon-force. Y’all think Demon Slayers are up to the task?

Telekinetic Battle Royale featuring movie or show characters

This battle will be held in the same Environment as the Hunger games films meaning they’re all starting on platforms in a perfect circle that have a explosive yield strong enough to kill them should they step off or levitate off the platform before the starting horn.

This battle features Andrew Detmer( from chronicle) Carry( from the most recent film adaption, Elven from (Stranger things), Cindy from (the boys), Garret from (Code 8), Jean Grey from the (X- men movies but limited to the first two movies and obviously no Phoenix force), Sylar from (heroes only telekinesis for him none of his other powers), Nick Grant( Push), last but not least Andrew Strucker(The Gifted)

There’s a twist for round 1: Hemich will be tasked with getting these 8 contestants the most sponsorships. Which of them would inspire the most help during the battle royal from supplies to favor in general?

Round 2: is the battle royal I’m assuming you came for. With the stipulations I discussed. Who comes out on top ?

Battle Ninja war Might guy + Adult Rock Lee VS Thragg + Emperor Mark

3 Upvotes

It wouldn't be a tag team fight but either of them had to pick an opponent and fight.

Guy and Lee can use the gates but mark and thragg can also fly.

I personally think if somehow they can get a hold of them and simply throw them to space they can win (the vilturmites), but also the death gate can prove lethal to both of them.
