I'd agree with DE on all except Zaalbar vs. Chirrut. Imre would win out eventually IMO.

That's a pretty great team battle

 

@Mikaboshi - are you able to get up an argument? Or should we move on?

 

I'll work one up tonight, if it doesn't show feel free to move along. Thanks for the reminder, Inty.

 

rip my mental image of Mika being hard at work on this arg for days and days

 

LOL, me = slacker.

Cad Bane, Bossk, Dengar, Black Krrsantan, Zuckuss, Doctor Aphra, 4-LOM, Deliah Blue, Ona Nobis, Sugi
vs
IG-88, BT-1, Mandalore the Ultimate, Mandalore the Indomitable, Cassus Fett, Goran Bevin, Tysr, Gallandro, Gar Saxon, Jaster Mereel

Weaponry: No way does Cad have more weaponry at his disposal than my team, in fact I don't think he even has more than either IG-88 or BT-1, both of which are living arsenals of destruction. Beyond that I have the resources of the Mandalorians, warriors specially equipped for battle, with prep all of these guys should be showing up with Mandalorian armor, and pretty much any kind of weaponry their heart desires.

Skill: I think the levels of skill on my team is insane, far better than a collection of rag tag scrub bounty hunters. Ultimate stood toe to toe with Revan, Indomitable stood toe to toe with Ulic, Goran Bevin stood toe to toe with Jaina, Tysr defeated a Jedi Master in single combat, Gallandro is considered by Han Solo to be the fastest and best gunslinger he had ever seen, Gar was one of the best of the Super Commandos and has no shortage of amazing battlefield feats.

Cohesion: I have 6 Mandalorian warriors, now that in and of itself doesn't give automatic cohesion. With Mandalore the Ultimate I have a leader who most Mandalorians would follow, without question, and with Indomitable and Cassus I have a duo with great cohesion and ability to lead others of their lineage. Goran Bevin, Gar Saxon, and Jaster in my view would all thrive under that leadership structure.

Intangibles: IG is a technopath, a very good one. He has on numerous occasions been shown to take control of droids and other technologies with great ease. In my mind, this is one of my teams greatest advantages. What is 4-LOM? Droid. What happens when, in the midst of combat, LOM turns on his own team? What happens if Cad Bane's breathing tubes are hacked? How much of a liability would Doc Aphra's techs be if IG takes control of them?

My droids bring a lot to the table here. Both have no need to see, they can rely on their sensors, and both can "see" 360 degrees so nobody is sneaking up on these two. IG is blaster proof, far stronger and faster (both physically and processing speeds) than anyone on the opposing team, and is specifically designed to excel in this type of environment. BT-1 has weaponry that can fire 360 degrees, he doesn't even really have to move around much other than for defensive purposes. His standard accompaniment of weaponry is insane, everything from SAM missiles to flamethrowers and a small army worth of blasters. That doesn't even scratch the surface.

Also, that technopath stuff, I can easily envision IG having full control of BT before the fight even starts. Imagine two droids (3 if you count 4-LOM), in full unison, working with a single hive mind to coordinate against the opposing team and pick them apart?

 

where am i

 

Thanks for the arguments, fellas.

I think there's some truth to be found in both sets of arguments. I think Cad Bane, without a doubt, is the best leader in this battle, and has time and again proven his ability to not just set up a complex scheme, but execute it, even against top-end opposition. That said, the gap isn't that huge, and Mika makes a great point re: cohesion.

I think the technopathy he brings up is a great point, too. And, while I like to think of these team battles as having some kind of mechanism to avoid a character turning on his teammates, there's no reason Aphra couldn't be shut down and out of the match completely (that's just my interpretation of how things work, other judges can certainly have their own POVs)

The location, I think, plays an important role here. It's not set up to Cad's planning strengths, and it's going to reduce a good bit of this to melee over mindset, I think, and that gives a slight edge to Mika's team. With comparable firepower, I think the technopathy and battlefield location give that team just enough of an edge to eek out a win.

My vote is for Mostly Mandalorian

 

Excellent battle here and I really struggled with this one. Both teams have clear reasons why they could win: excellent leadership (Bane vs MtU/MtI), tons of firepower, plenty of experience (I disagree on the techno aspect- I have a hard time seeing IG-88 being able to scramble 4-LOM during this fight).

Biggest separating factor for me, oddly is something neither team has control of: location. In an smaller enclosed area like the freezing chamber, stray shots and misplaced grenades are going to play havoc on teams. Best way I have to describe the difference between these teams is rpg terms lol: S&C (as their name implies) are more rogue/dps kind of characters whereas MM is more dps/tank, and in a fight like this I see Mostly Mandalorian being able to handle the chaos of this fight a tad better. Weird but that's what stands out to me

@KenKenobi @Wang Chi @Point Given @cubman987 @Darkslayer @Jedi Knight Fett @Evil Incarnate

I would like to not sim this many numbers.... (I'm guessing something went wrong with the tags )

 

For the record, I also never got a tag. I just happened to check the topic.

 

I also didn’t get the tag, I just saw you had posted and figured it was a new round.
