Yuga Khan vs a Celestial

Started by Galan0075 pages

i was always under the impression that the characters learned from their past battles in an 'out of ten' scenario. otherwise, nothing would differentiate a single battle, from 10... hell 100 battles - as they'd all have the exact same victor.

That could be. Of course the ten out of ten might be differentiated by random choices. Ie whether Yuga just goes for the throat or if he takes his time. Then again since both are bloodlusted the ten fights might be incredibly similar. In any case Yuga wouldn't be the only one to learn from the earlier fights so the Celestial takes a majority still. When I made this thread I assumed that Celestials were high skyfather level beings, now I know they're much more powerful than that. Still Yuga Khan is one of the few non abstract beings in the DCU with the power to keep a being like Galactus on his toes. The Celestial won't win easy.

Yeah I just don't know the exact rule and maybe a mod could clarify this question. I will say, just because you might not be able to learn from your past fights, doesn't mean you'll attack the same way. Either way I guess I just never knew the exact ruling on this.

in a 'best of ten' battle [which is what i've been using] if yuga gets shitstomped the first couple times, he might say "damn, i needs to get me suma dat" - hence the possibility of him attempting to transform into the same energies as a celestial [hyperspace.] then all he apparently would have to do is exhibit invisible woman-level concentration, to start busting up a celestial [ergo the few wins i gave him.]

i agree.

Wait...what? Are you talking about when someone posts "So and so wins 6/10"? If so that's just an expression of percentages won. Close battles like Supes vs Thor or Bats vs Cap are never a stomp and people use the fractions to show their opinion.

The vs forum is set up as who would win a single fight unless otherwise noted in the opening post. There is no learning by one character involved or best out of 10 fights. Tourny and gauntlet rules don't apply here in the vs forum.

Question though... I thought vs battles were treated as all new battles each and everytime. Not a oooo I learned this worked pretty well last time before I got stomped so lets try that first etc etc. What is the exact rule here?
Hope that helps.

hmm, i've seen 'best of ten' scenarios used in the same way i described on the versus forum ever since i joined - ie. the characters involved learning as the various battles progressed, in order to figure out more suitable tactics [makes sense to me that way.]

apparently that's not how shit rolls though. 👆

You can make a thread with those stipulations, especially with characters like Taskmaster and Prometheus.

I see both sides of the argument really. I get what your saying and agree that could be a good way of looking at things. The flip side to that is it open up the door to then people saying... Ooo he learned from the first battle and now it pwns 9/10. It then becomes kinda like a prep battle when you remember what did and didn't work before and can thus bring new tactics to the table. I see both points.

This is exactly how I thought it went. I never ever thought a character learned from his losses and kept his memories. Each battle was completely separate with a character maybe taking a different action but not because he had any memory of any previous battles.
