Sunset vs. Regigigas (both)
« on: November 25, 2008, 01:35:17 AM »
Sunset's not used to fighting such bizzare monsters, considering his time period, but it can't be any worse than a gigantic villain with a gatling gun, can it? Regigigas is slow. Not only that, but his damage is terrible for 5 turns. That means that Sunset has all the time in the world to do whatever he wants. Hurricane shot should outright kill, if not seriously maim, his opponent, and while usually the 3 turns it takes to use make it useless, here it's exactly what he needs. Of course, Regigigas's paltry attacks are nothing to worry about, and there's nothing it can do to avoid a Hurricane Shot. Speaking of avoiding attacks, even if Regigigas manages to pile on the hurt, there's a good chance Sunset will evade at least some of it anyway! With all this in mind, Sunset definitely has the edge over his Poke opponent.

---
Regigigas isn't much of a gunslinger, but it doesn't matter. Sunset has no invulnerability to Confuse Ray, which will leave him helpless, and, more importantly, cause him to lose the advantage given by Slow Start. Regigigas's attacks, while weak, will still cut through Sunset's terrible defenses like a knife through butter, and his own natural tankiness can absorb punishment while he slowly whittles away at Sunset, should the cowboy break through Confuse. A few Mega Punches here and there, and he can use Giga Impact for a finisher and end the fight before Sunset can get off Hurricane Shot. And should the battle happen to last past 5 turns, Slow Start works to his advantage, and he can easily destroy the frail dueller. It might not be short, it might not be pretty, but Regigigas can win this fight, and with any luck, he will.
Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Not only that, but its damage is terrible for 5 turns. That means that Sunset has all the time in the world to do whatever he wants.

Of course, Regigigas's paltry attacks are nothing to worry about, and there's nothing it can do to avoid a Hurricane Shot. Speaking of avoiding attacks, even if Regigigas manages to launch a few attacks on him, Sunset will probably evade at least some of them anyway! With all this in mind, Sunset definitely has the edge over his Poke opponent.

Regigigas isn't much of a gunslinger, but it matters not. Sunset has no way of immuning Confuse Ray, which will buy the King of Regis enough time to shred its crippling disadvantages given by Slow Start. Regigigas's attacks, while initially weak, will still cut through Sunset's terrible defenses like a knife through butter, and its own natural tankiness can absorb plenty of punishment while it slowly whittles away Sunset's HP, should the cowboy break through confusion. A few Mega Punches here and there and Giga Impact for a finisher will hopefully end the fight before Sunset can pull off a Hurricane Shot. And should the battle happen to last past 5 turns, Regigigas will be free to unleash its full power and easily destroy the frail gunslinger. It might not be short, it might not be pretty, but Regigigas can win this fight, and with any luck, he will.

[editor's note: Regigigas is sexless, hence the change in pronouns.]
