Badass Versus Thread

Alive Bedi with arm can at least hold his own against the knights of the round with their gifts

Shirou with arm doesn't even survive a blind and probably unarmored Herk without Illya ex Machina

[Altaris]

I could see Servant Emiya winning with long-range snipe

Shirou would just get toasted in melee

At least we know why Archer has such a killer tan then.

[8000]

Servant Bedivere would definitely win since Shirou can't make enough projections that he wouldn't need to resort to melee. Living singularity Bedievere I'm not entirely sure. He could only stalemate Tristan even with help (although he beat Mordred and non-buffed Gaeain with that same help), so he might not be better in melee, but assuming he can still do anti-army blasts with his arm he should win ad Shirou can't really defend against those.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Tristan is mostly a case of range, which they imply a lot throughout the story since he can literally massacre people by having an itchy finger. And he feints off buffed Gawain, which is why Gawain's first time seeing him is a double-whammy: WHY YOU? and HOW YOU?

[8000]

True, although Tristan by his own admission was unable to beat Extra Vlad in CCC and he's not that fast or skilled, but then again Vlad is armored everywhere below the neck.

[castor212]

wut

[Megas]

wut

I guess he must be talking about the collab (though I don't remember Vlad showing up there).

[Iceblade44]

Extra Vlad showed up when they got to the church. But I thought Gawain faced him not Tristan? Then again I only skimmed the tls

[Megas]

Yeah that sounds like something that probably happened that I don't remember

[castor212]

the thing is im p sure tristan never said that sort of admission

[GundamFSN]

What's Cu Chulainn gonna do to stop Rama to nuke him from afar with his bow, Brahmastra, shit ton of weapons in his arsenal ?

The way Rama's setup against Cu Alter in America is actually v shounen.

Imagine if there's no Guda. We'd probably have Vishnu intervening like Oh Rama, remember your true power Oh Rama!

And then he trashed Cu Alter with Vishnu Bhuja.

please give solid evidence for why his would be different than hers, not just speculation

adding to what castor said, she also modified it into the shape of a tuning fork. Probably intended as a food gag.

i have a theory about that
the rank of Vishnu Bujna most likely does not represent of the various rank of the weapon within it, but on the amount it can bring out. The amount of weapon itself definitely have a fixed maximum number, but the amount that can be brought out is dependent on Rama's Divinity.
that is, unlike UBW or GoB which rank was meant to correspond to the item inside it, it could be that VIshnu's Bujna's rank correspond to how much weapon can be brought out, which in itself correspond to Rama's Divinity. It may not be a coincidence too that VB's rank is the same as Rama's current Divinity rank.

I had the same reasoning too while trudging through the thread. I mean, if Ea and Shinji can be put into GoB than why can't Trishula and other lolIndia weapons couldn't be in Rama's India GoB.

You know, Gil should shoot Ea from GoB for once. It'll be like mega Caladbolg II but cooler and more awesome.

I think it might have been Demiya. One of them said they couldn't defeat Vlad, but I don't think Vlad was normal either?

[DTTS]

Tristan indeed said he fought Vlad before but couldn't defeat him when he teamed up with us.

But Vlad himself said he was under the influence of a Demon Pillar or something and iirc had killed about 30 Servants before he was downed by us.

[castor212]

wasnt that referring to Passionlip and not Vlad

[DTTS]

Her too, though she defeated a far larger number of Servants

Anyway

Tristan
Ah, so that cross I saw from a ledge afar belongs to a church…

…However, there’s a Servant that I couldn’t defeat in this area.

Lancer-class, the Impaler Vlad III. He should still be wandering around this area.

Vlad III
—That’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for, my superb mortal enemy.

But don’t underestimate me just because I’m a spearman. My body is already infected by the demon god.

Don’t think your blade will cut me that easily!

[8000]

Yeah DTTS posted the instance I'm talking about.

[Ordep]

Saber Charlesmagne vs Altera Saber

[8000]

Charles seems like he's not on par with the big guns (Artoria and Cu specifically), but he gets a defense boost against opponents with divinity which could help against Altera. Probably a wait for the mats question though, although I don't know what all of Charles' fights were like.
