Cloud Vs. Aspects

In a straight physical battle, Cloud will be fighting the five aspects of Warcraft. Malygos, Nozdormu, Alexstrasza, Ysera and Neltharion.
Malygos pre-insanity, Alexstrasza post-Grim Batol, Ysera Malorne-postmortem and then Neltharion pre-Cataclysm.

Strictly physical encounter and it take place in a large forest. Cloud is aware of Neltharion's armor and he is aware of their powers, but not aware that the dragons just like him can not use any powers.

I guess Cloud would be able to inflict minor injuries before eventually getting crushed to death... or eaten.

Cloud has showed pretty awesome moves and the Aspects while big and strong are limited when it comes to agility. You don't think he would do better?

Yes, but I don't remember Cloud showing any particular awesome speed feats. Agility alone won't be enough to dodge a paw of a massive dragon coming at you. I also remember reading in one of the Warcraft books that dragons are much more agile and nimble than they appear.

It's just a matter of time before Cloud gets unlucky/tired and subsequently maimed.

Yeah, size doesn't always mean clumsiness, especially not in the case of dragons which are a common favourite in fiction. A powerful aspect is even less likely to be a lumbering klutz, and Cloud's best feat against anythign of comparable size was *bonking* bahamut, causing it to fall, he didn't knock it down, it just sort of fell, with no visible damage to it whatsoever.

Imho, he doesn't get far at all.

He is fighting them all at once. He could use their required space against them.

You... don't like Cloud much, do you? 😛 From my understanding of their physical power, which I admit is limmited, he has no chance whatsoever.

The Aspects are incredibly intelligent beings. They surely would not let Cloud have that advantage: one of them would go and take down Cloud while others watch.

The Aspects piled on Neltharion when they fought him during Day of the Dragon. They were not exactly reluctant to get their asses handed to them there.

Yes, but Deathwing was a much greater threat and a much larger target.

I'm with AG. From everything that's been posted about Deathwing, he's simply not comparable to Cloud.

I suppose. I was just trying to put a fight together that would end up epic, regardless of outcome. The classic one great against many great ones.

It would have been so much more epic had you allowed Aspects their full powers.

Nozdormu or Ysera full powered? There would be nothing epic with that 😛

There'd be a nepic slaughter! 😄

Well, would you rather see an ant simply crushed the good old boring way or go out in a flurry of explosions and shit?

I must admit, enraged Ysera was a sight to see. Fiction has few moments that can be compared.

You mean in the War of the Ancients book trilogy? Didn't leave any strong impression on me. Come to think of it, neither did the books themselves.

When Malorne died. Ysera took out the entire invasion army by herself with a thought.

You realise Bahamut was flying up at the time that Cloud hit him, he completely reversed the acceleration of Bahamut. Gravity has nothing to do with that feat.

He has also shown to be able to leap very far quickly and to be able to block massive claws.

He would be running around on them, unless thier claws can reach behind them they would have to attack him while he was on one of them.
