Deathstroke vs Havok

Started by JakeTheBank14 pages

I agree if Havok does omniblast from the get go, he'd win. Not sure if this is in character for him or not. Slade doesn't just murder people willy nilly, either. At least, a well written Slade ala Marv Wolfman. He's more willing to murder and maim, though, and that's not worth debating. Voting for Havok is cool; lowballing Deathstroke, not so much.

Not sure why it is that so many people like to lowball Slade on this forum.

Wait...no I know why. 😛

Believing that Alex can think "blast" before Slade can draw, aim, fire and have the projectile hit Alex IMO isn't lowballing Slade.

Yo.

It has nothing to do with the capabilities of the shooter, it is limitations of the gun.

I'm not the one that brought-up the tactic, that was rotiart and then long-pig said this was a quickdraw. My comments have been in regards to Alex's chances in a quickdraw type situation.

Now, do you agree that Alex would win a quickdraw?

U didnt have to bring it up; U took the baton and ran w/it.....unless the following ISNT from U that is:

Quick draw favors the guy that can fire an omnidirectional energy blast with a thought.

so yur quickdraw tactic INVOLVED the omniblast......but U tried to distance yurself from using it??

Because people get butt hurt about his "jobber aura" and/or prefer to put their favorite street/meta in front of him for whatever self serving reason. The fact that people get really stupid when Identity Crisis is brought up proves that much.

Oh, I don't think that is, either. That's more an opinion on Havok than it is a knock against Slade. I didn't mean for you to think I was accusing you specifically of such. As far as this fight goes, I'm mostly undecided as is.

Alex might be able to think "blast", sure.

Slade however can jump and shoot at the same time. Or close the distance and then shoot.

Note when he easily shoots Geoforce while equally easily evading an attack. Unlike this situation, in those scans he couldn't see his opponent before having to dodge.

Yo.

Default distance from each other is .5 kilometers, 5000 metres (approximately 3.1 mi or 16404 ft). Slade can quick draw that.

ya got that wrong comrade: .5km is about 1500ft+, not 16k+. 😉

I'll say this slower so that hopefully it will sink in. I was responding to Long-pig who was claiming that Slade would win even if Alex used the omniblast...which I disagree with.

Let me get this right, Slade is going to dodge an omniblast?

Oh, FFS.

Havok's not going to use an omniblast. Why would he? That's not remotely in character.

It IS in character for Deathstroke to use maximum force. This does not hold true for Alex.

Yo.

L-P was coming from the standpoint that he could kill Alex *b4* he could use it, which IS possible if he has the right wep.

yur argument assumes Havok has enuff energy charged up that he'll take out 500m+ of an area. in a quickdraw. as a STARTING tactic.

hrmmm.....

It says in the rules that half a kilometer = 5 kilometers?

Really, then how come he didn't do so againt Flash, Batman, Impulse, Arsenal, Batgirl, Nightwing etc etc etc.

Are you saying that he held back against Flash, Batman, Impulse, Arsenal, Batgirl, Nightwing, etc?

Or just that he didn't kill them?

No, LP specifically said that DS could kill him before Alex could think "blast". Which isn't true.

"Unless otherwise stated by the thread originator, the standard distance between combatants will be .5 kilometers in line of sight at the onset of battle, and there will be an implied "buzz" to signify the onset of battle. It will be assumed combatants are primed to go at the gun".

no, no, don't be silly. he's going to come in and prove a bunch of stuff any second. he's first going to prove that alex would blindly fire off an omniblast at the start of the battle. then he's going to prove that the blast would be effective over half a kilometer--in fact i bet he's even going to show a scan of havok unleashing a blast that COVERS half a kilometer. then he's going to prove havok is actually CHARGED with enough energy to even ATTEMPT this all-consuming omniblast at the start of the battle. then he's going to show that the blast would be powerful enough to ko slade from such a distance when slade has taken full point blank shots from starfire among other strong durability feats.

you just wait. it's coming. 😉
