Dio vs Light! Fight! Fight! Fight!

*Cracks fingers*

Despite the situations, both Dio and Light hold great similarities. Such as their God-complexes, as well as their need to be in control, hold power above their enemies and eliminate anyone who poses a threat to them. Both are manipulative as well as controlling and hold little regard to other's. They will happily use others as pawns and then discard them once they have finished with them.

However, due to this, they will both see one another as a potential threat. Light would likely use whatever he can to gain information from Dio before attempting to use the Death Note on him. However, we know that Dio rarely uses his surname so Light would only know him by his first name.

With Dio's name translating to God, he would also find this almost insulting.

Dio would, likely, find the Death Note useful once he learns that all it requires is a name and face in order to kill.

Pt 1 Dio vs Imhotep from the Mummy series

Imhotep would easily win. He has all the powers of Egypt at his control, ranging from the sandstorms to the scarabs. Also with the fact that he cannot be harmed by any mortal weapons and the only way he was defeated was with the Black Book, it shows that the fight was not in Dio’s favour as he doesn’t know how to read Ancient Egyptian, rendering the fight one-sided.

Both Draculas? For the vs ask

Okay, let’s see. Also, I won’t be including any minions from them, only the two vampires and their powers.

As we all know of Dio’s vampiric powers involve regeneration from anything but Hamon, Flash-freeze ability, inhuman strength and speed. Along with his lazer eye ability and that moment he faded into shadows -so somewhat teleportation?- and Dio’s ambition and determination to win would be his main drive for his fight.

From my -limited knowledge- of the classic Dracula, he didn’t have too much of supernatural powers aside from hypnosis and the power to take on a bat form. However, the Dracula from Castlevania showed to have many incredible powers that would level the battleground against Dio. From his enhanced strength, speed and agility that could possibly overpower Dio to the pyrokinesis shown in the animated series. Including the master hand-to-hand combatant/martial artist.

If Dio was to fight against the classic Dracula, it is likely he would win against him. However, if he was to battle against the Castlevania Dracula, it is uncertain if he would survive against it with Dracula’s superior power and strength.

One thing I’ve noticed in writing is the flow of things.

When your characters are fighting, it makes sense to end the fight as soon as possible, right. Well, conflict can be a good thing.

When one character tries to get another character do something they don’t want to do, some writers simply have the second character say “F you! I do what I want!” and they walk away. End of fight. That’s kind of boring and counter-productive.

Have a little give and take in the fight. Have the first character be like, “Excuse me? Come back here! I’m not done!” and punch the second character in the face for being a disrespectful little turd.

Now, I’m not saying violence is a good thing, because it never is, but when you’re putting it in a story, it needs more.

Depending on how your characters feel about each other, decide what kind of conflict they should have. Physical? Verbal? Glaring contest? How much do they hate each other? Are they or were they best friends? Do they know each other’s weaknesses? All things to consider when doing a conflict scene.

What are they fighting over? Is it two guys fighting over a girl? Is it two girls fighting over a guy? Is it a guy fighting a girl? Is it two brothers or two sisters? Is it a brother and a sister? Is it a bully in a school? The character’s relationship is one of the key components in the fight.

Also consider whether one character is naturally a fighter and the other is a pacifist. How do your characters avoid the conflict or defend themselves? Is one character weaker or smaller than the other?

Do they have weapons or are they bare-fisted? Is there any biting, slapping, cursing, hair-pulling, punching or kicking?

When doing the scene, consider the Push And Pull strategy. If it is an equal fight, have one character have the upper hand for the first part of the fight and then switch and let the other character get a few punches in. Don’t draw the fight out too much, but don’t end it with an insta-knockout punch either.

Also, have both the characters come away with some injuries. People don’t just pop up from a punch in the face and smile. It hurts both parties if you punch someone in the face, jaw or mouth. The character that started the fight can have just as much blood and scratches as the one who ended it.

This goes for arguments as well. Little kids argue by going, “Nuh uh!” “Ya huh!”, “You shut up!” “No! You shut up!”, or “Your mom is (insert stupid mom joke here)”. Those are immature and stupid. You can add them if you feel like your characters are that immature, but usually arguments with adults tend to end up with a lot of cussing, which now that I think about it, isn’t all that better. Don’t let either one of your characters give in right away. Your characters are entitled to their own opinions and thoughts. Let them fight for them. If one of your characters is reasonable, have their argument style reflect them. Don’t have them change their behavior for a silly argument unless it is about something that means a great deal to them. It’s actually more interesting for a quieter, more stoic character to suddenly become enflamed about something than for a fiery character to throw punches just because someone said they were ugly. The most entertaining fighters are the Sass-mouths. They use their wit and charm to insult or talk their way out of a conflict. It’s way better than a character screaming, “Why ya big paluka! I outta…”

There’s tons more to consider, and I’m no combat or fight expert. These are just some things I thought I’d mention. If anyone has anything they want to add or contradict, feel free to comment. Discussing the subject as well as research are very important.

If every character you've voiced got into a brawl, who would win?

I know it’s not Alice Margatroid because she lost that One Minute Melee. So my next instinct is to be like “oh F!Gunner because duh she’s got guns.” But REALLY it’s Navi from this short that I complain about a lot, but secretly kinda still like. She’s filled with so much rage in her tiny fairie body that she would utterly pummel anyone who tried to fight her.

But the true answer would be Yuna from Let’s Dub Kindred Spirits because no way she’s gonna actually get involved in the brawl. She’d just walk away. And that’s the real winner.

Character Fights #1

Played on a simple 2X2 board, this is a one on one fight with no Command Points and no turn limit. Psychic powers are allowed, but a fighter must stay on the board at all times (no coming on from reserve and no leaving the board for any reason).

Baharroth

VS Castellan Crowe

Called to the field of battle, Castellan Crowe runs towards the Xenos. Slowing to a jog, Hammerhand is cast as Crowe awaits the charge from the Phoenix Lord. Although still far from his enemy, Crowe steadies his storm bolter, dealing a single wound.

Baharroth reeled back from the damage the Grey Knight had inflicted, but his wings launch him through the air. The Hawks Talon fires into the Astartes armour, knocking him off balance and reducing him to three wounds. In a traditional fashion for the Swooping Hawks, the Phoenix Lord breezes through the overwatch unharmed and slashes in with the Shining Blade and dealing another two wounds. The wounded Crowe swings wildly, but fails to deal and damage.

The battered Grey Knight stands tall and activates the Purifying Flames (a short range Smite). It is successfully cast. Dealing D6 damage against the target. Baharroth stood with five left, but he falls as Crowe tears the Phoenix Lord apart with his mind dealing the maximum damage he could to destroy his enemy.

Post-game thoughts:

Baharroth is pretty cool. Very fast, cool grenade ability, can jump on and off the battlefield with his Swooping Hawks. My issues is that he comes with some cool weapons, but neither his sword nor gun are a superior weapon. On the one hand this makes him flexible, on the other it makes it difficult to know what I would use him for in an actual game with the Eldar.

Castellan Crowe is not that great, but for 125pts it makes him a cheap HQ choice for a Grey Knights army. His weapon is too simple, it is AP 0 and only 1 damage. I know he can generate more attacks with each successful To Wound roll, but that just makes him a horde fighter and not much of a character fighter. His specialty is the use of the Purifying Flame version of Smite, reduced to 3 inches and always deals D6 damage is very nice.

Scàthàn (and his sabre) versus Brass Belkov.

From a purely physical standpoint, I’d go with Brass. Scáthán may be powerful, but he’s not deity-powerful. What complicates the matter is that Scáthán would know he’s outmatched, and when he knows he’s outmatched, he starts talking. He’ll attack any weak point he sees, and Brass has a few. The idea is to cause the opponent to break down or attack foolishly out of anger, which, given who and what Brass is, could go either very well or very poorly for Scáthán.

SO: If Brass can shut Scáthán the fuck up from the outset, he wins hands down. If not, it’s probably anyone’s fight.
