CLOSING STATEMENT
Okay, there's a long weekend here in Oz so between the parties, there'll be no time to post again till Monday morning. A closing statement and I'll let the votes go where they may. Hopefully LP will do the same instead of just using my statements as quotes.
- The fifteen minute prep time will be used to power up my chi, resulting in a battle aura, a chi field which I can use to control my movement in an anti-gravity chamber (Ken, Bison and Akuma have used it to levitate, by association Ryu can as well). Add to this, Darkhawk's experience in zero gravity and I have the environmental advantage. Whereas LP will be using his tentacles and coils to steady himself but with just a smooth vibranium/adamantium surface, he'll have nothing to latch or hold onto, causing him to float aimlessly for a short period of time before he's KO'd.
- Right from the start I'll be using the auto-targeting, Darkhawk's already accurate aim and telescopic sight to locate LP then blast him with continuous force blasts and eye beams. A single blast is equal to a cyclops level optic blast, well within the rules, powerful enough to knock Ironman from the sky (see previous pics) but a continuous barrage of these blasts will quickly destroy LP's shields. Rules say your shields can't be stronger than titanium right? Auto targeting plus over a dozen force blasts with pinpoint accuracy in the span of one second will knock LP back, destroying his shields and armor as he tries to make his way towards me.
- All this time LP is multitasking with trying to magnetize boxes, trying to grab onto something to steady himself, trying to aim & throw un-magnetized boxes, attempting to float his way towards me, shooting me with 2 lasers (two are occupied with boxes), hoping to make his electricity effective from that range, while trying to maintain the integrity of his shields from my battering, And let's face it, Electro isn't exactly a genius when it comes to strategy and multitasking. Essentially, LP will be blown backwards (auto-targeting), as will I (kickback from the amount of power I'm dishing out) keeping us at maximum distance from each other. In this situation, LP has no effective offense, while I'm about to...
- Shoot him with a super hadouken, for which LP has no defense seeing as his shields have been destroyed and his armor has been pulverized by by blasts. One of these bad boys is all it will take to take LP out of the fight, and with auto-targeting enhancing my telescopic sight, there's no way that any range attacks can miss. If LP is still alive? How about a couple of dozen more cyclops level force blasts to his head. (see previous a pics of DH's rapid fire and accuracy)
- My defensive capabilities won't even be needed because LP doesn't have a potent range attack to hurt me with. Lasers? Spiderman 2099 can dodge ten of these simultaneously (see previous pic) plus a shield that's held out against numerous energy types - sonic, fire, lightning and *shock* lasers! (see previous pics with the Seekers)
- Finally, I have the mindset advantage because Ryu lives to be a perfect fighter whereas Electro has the mind of a criminal. Which is a big difference in this situation. Ryu is a smart fighter, can adapt to styles, will look for openings and should things go bad, it won't shake him but make him more determined to win. However, with the mindset of a criminal, once things start to turn south, they have a tendency to flee or beg for mercy.
In closing, my range attacks will take LP out before he can close the gap between us.
Natural accuracy + auto-targeting + cyclops level blasts + continuous barrage = I win
