yeah, it really depends on the version of gr being used here and whether zarathos would manifest fully. if he does, fs is a deadman. standard rider would lose, but it would be interesting to see if he could be transmuted. i want to say no for some reason. maybe someone tried before? not positive, admittedly. science vs magic doesn't always have predictable results though. i find this to be a fairly interesting match given some of gr's showings.

To clarify, my above post was meant to say that saying every character launches an all powerful (likely out of character) attack to win a forum fight is an overly simplistic way of posting.
Its that 3rd grade mentality that birthed the infamous CBR style.
I mean yeah, every speedster can blitz, brick can rip iff limbs, matter manipulator kill...so why bother debating feats, character history and fighting styles.

Yep that's right but, according to the Forum Rules, the characters fight at the best of their abilities, so if the most powerful move doesn't require much effort why wouldn't they use it right from the start ?

Your way, is just lazy debating on posters' part, or the inability to string together a decent argument.
And hey, WB.
Characters fight to the best if their abilities while still remaining in character though, people always leave out that last part. Meaning even though iceman could freeze the moisture in someone's body doesn't mean he will because that's not his go to tactic . He'd probably hit them with an icebeam or snowball. Now if he's bloodlusted then yea he blood bends.

So characters in comics never fight to the best of their abilities unless they go for the kill. Hmm.
Or they can simply incapacitate the opponents without killing them the same way.
Characters are also supposed to fight IN character unless otherwise stated.
I don't see why it would be out of character to do that.

I disagree.
Take Molecule Man for example.
He has the psionic ability to manipulate all matter and all energy on a simple thought which is effortless from his part.
Turning immediately his opponents to dust (or salt ^^) is the most logical way to end the fight.
We are arguing for a combat situation closer to a real life combat situation where the characters are fighting for their lives.
And hey, WB.
Thanks.
Whats funny (to me, the only one that matters) is this exact conversation has happened at LEAST once a year since i joined this site 3 years ago.
The 'Kamehameha attack FTW' applied to every character lasts a while, then things go back to normal, as everyone, including the advocates of the style, get bored of every thread crapping out after 4-5 responses.
This too shall pass. 🍺

Why not simply redefine the victory conditions of the fight ?
If that's not a "street fight" then the characters have rules and don't go straight with the "fighting at the best of their abilities".
