Putting my lot with the team with the comic character.
Agree. Team 2 have useless fighter (Arisen), but Wonder Woman is just too much. Team wins thanks to her.
Couldnt either D or Samus hurt her? I thought Samus had some pretty hax weaponry, just the idea I have had about her and D either seems strong or week depending on what quotes you read.
–
He uses a sword though, doesnt Wonder women get slashed in the comics?
@Kitten Lord
–
“Couldnt either D”
–
D can. His slashing causing some kind of reality warping effect. He can slash a hologram and that will hurt the person who is using tech to make his hologram.
Wonder Woman durability and speed. should save her.
–
“doesnt Wonder women get slashed in the comics?”
–
I don’t remember a single time when she tanked any sword attack (except when she blocks attacke with her bracelets or her sword). Due to PIS they always work.
I thought D had some really major hax. Like The most major of major hax. I think. It came up some where….
Hmm, Squall’s actual physical stats have never really been canonically addressed outside of stuff like Dissidia and KH, both of which make him an equal to Cloud.
However, I’m pretty sure Squall surpasses Cloud for reasons:
1) Squall fights (almost) all of his summons to make them join him. This includes monsters like the Brothers, who casually toss multiple tons of earth high into the sky.
–
2) Squall has specialized animations for some bosses; decent agility feats available; also several of them involve smashing the monster into the ground or cutting straight through them.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEiJEWHDcog
–
It also should bear mention that Squall spends a considerable portion of the game fighting Galbadian soldiers, who carry machineguns. As such he is very likely to be a bullet-timer though no cutscene depicts him dodging bullets.
–
Of key note, Squall’s GFs-
Diablos scales with his power more linearly than the other GFs. Diablos will take 1% more of the enemies health for every level Squall has. Diablos attacks with magic that is of the gravity element.
Doomtrain will appear and inflict the status effects: Sleep, Poison, Darkness, Silence, Slow, Stop, Berserk, Confuse, Doom, Petrifying, and Vit 0 on the enemy if it manages to hit.
Two of the more hax GFs.
–
Final note- Draw
Squall is able to steal magic from his enemies. Not only can he take magic, he can take beings that are sealed within them as well- this is how several GFs are obtained. So if any combatants have a demon sealed within them like Naruto, Squall can potentially Draw it out of them and into himself.
–
Final Final note- Junction
Squall Junctions magical spells and special beings like GFs in the part of his brain that controls memory. The magic he Junctions will change his stats, he can easily make himself immune to almost all types of damage when Junctioned properly. He can also Junction magic to his weapon, allowing him to inflict status ailments with every attack.
–
All of that said, pretty sure almost everyone here is out of his league for physical combat. He’s gonna need that old FF hax to keep himself alive in this fight.
Team WW should take this.
Since I’m going to be leaving for a bit and won’t have access to the internet, I’ll leave this list here preemptively. It’s a list of all FF8 magic.
–
Fire, Fira, Firaga (fireball)
Flare (heat and energy of explosion minus explosion)
Blizzard, Blizzara, Blizzaga (giant chunk of ice)
Water (ball of water that imprisons enemy)
Thunder, Thundara, Thundaga (lightning bolt)
Aero, Tornado (gusts of wind to pick up and throw enemy)
Cure, Cura, Curaga (heals)
Death (kills)
Holy (holy attack)
Life, Full-Life (Resurrection)
Regen (gives regen)
Zombie (turns enemy undead)
Haste, Slow, Stop (Time manipulation)
Quake (attacks with earth)
Demi (Takes 1/4 of opponent’s health)
Double, Triple (multipliers for spell casts)
Esuna, Dispel (Remove bad status effects, remove buffs)
Protect, Shell, Reflect (Reduction to physical and magical damage)
Drain (Drains lifeforce from enemy to you)
Aura (Grants the user easier access to their powers)
Bio (Poison)
Break, Blind, Silence, Berserk, Sleep, Confuse (various status ailments)
Pain, Meltdown (both cause multiple status ailments)
Meteor (10 meteors hit the enemy)
Ultima (2nd strongest spell in the game)
Apocalypse (Ultima x2)
Float (Suspends target in the air)
Scan (Let’s you see the powers and weaknesses of an enemy)
–
Also, any spell or being anyone else has can be drawn and used by Squall; with no delay.
–
That said, if Squall manages to buff up WW, I don’t know if anyone can stop her.
So WW lassos everyone into telling her thier weakness and embarassing stories. The End.
I hate to think what Squall does to apply the “bio” spell….
–
So what about WW actually makes her too much for the other teams? i mean among them there are a bunch of powers.
“So what about WW actually makes her too much for the other teams?”
–
Don’t think she is two much. However she is definitely one of the more skilled heavy hitters in comic-dom. Superstrength to fight kryptonians, superspeed to block hail of gunfire, fast regen that lets her heal broken arms in a few moments. Plus she trained in swordsmanship and hand 2 hand. Her sword iirc can split atoms so it’s pretty sharp and her bracer can deflect energy based attacks.

The only real competition Wonder Woman has in this fight is Vampire Hunter D. I believe he’s got a lightning-dodging feat, but from what I hear he regularly gets shot by humans (Could be PIS, could be a dumb author, could be an outlier. All are possibilities in the world of inconsistent fiction.)
=
Anyway, more feats:
Can react to Omega Beams, which can chase the Flash.

And throws down with Superman. Of course, Superman’s strength has been increasing, but she still does it fairly regularly, including when he became SuperDoom (which was post-World-Lifting feat, and is a different scan than this one).
static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11114/111148187/4298846-ww%27s+feats+25.jpg
There are other scans where she survives a nuclear explosion point-blank and lifts an aircraft carrier with Superman (this was early in the New 52), but I didn’t want to inundate the thread with too many links.
“Frame of reference, when Superman was younger he was hitting supersonic speeds and when he pushed he could get to mach 25.”

For more reference, SG was keeping up with the Flash early in the story(either in the comic itself or the H’El on Earth story line).

Survives being near DD. IIRC Bats once said that Supes could probably survive being around DD for 10 minutes, at best. Just being around him is dangerous enough.

First time they fought DD didn’t have the death aura, so not as impressive(outcome is basically the same though).
She con sacrifice the defensive capabilities of her bracer to get an amp from the divine side of her. This amps her abilities enough that it put Superman mixed with Doomsday on his ass

Feats from the other teams or other members of Team WW?
@Lowk
–
“Notes she can swing her sword fast enough that the blade heats up”
–
Interesting, how fast does someone have to swing a sword to heat it?
–
@Aeflinn
–
“There are other scans where she survives a nuclear explosion point-blank”
–
Most of your scans are interesting and likely makes her fastest in the thread but not not necessarily untouchable. From the comments of how WW team wins simply due to her being on it I was imagining a bit more superhero hax.
–
However, this part about a point blank nuke is certainly impressive, but nuclear weapons expend a huge amount of energy omindirectionally. I wonder if someone like D who if I recall cut a super durable object if I am not mistaken (that survived a black hole crushing it?) could quite easily slice her up.
–
Course, tanks have survived nuclear weapons also. So you do not have to be super durable to survive a blast physically, I would say its more a feat that she did not die from radiation and other such things being a biological.

Ammos thread on D, as was stated by Aeflinn, D is either super OP, fast, durable or just generally hax OR he gets beaten by something minor. But you could argue the same for comic characters. I find it hard to believe WW herself has never been beaten by anyone considered weak in the comic hierarchy.
D can survive an FTL impact and cut a LS spear out of the air as well as the lightning bolt feat, if the quotes aren’t completely out of context:
Vampire Hunter D Vol.4 “Tale of the Dead Town”
“Bowing and excusing himself, the physician did an about face. Just above him, there was a flash of silvery light. A bolt of lightning that was about to strike his head was split in half, and the fragments twitched on the ground. Completely oblivious to what had happened, Dr. Tsurugi raced off.”
–
“““We’re passing the speed of light!” A hoarse voice called from the left hand D extended. “And we’ve got no wind. Brace for impact!” A tiny mouth formed on the palm of his hand. In it appeared a howling blue flame. Space twisted as the tiny mouth inhaled. The left hand vanished. At the same time, D felt a violent impact.” Pg 182 Vampire Hunter D: Volume 16 Tyrant’s Star part 3″
–
““The swipe D made with his blade in midair was fearsome; a heartbeat later, the spears apparently metal shaft had been severed a foot and a half from the end and was sailing through the air. D’s left hand rose, and a black glint screamed through the air to pierce the base of the giant’s throat with unerring accuracy.”-Vampire Hunter D Volume 16 part 1 pg 14.”
–
–
–
D can also throw normal wooden stakes at at least Mach 25. And is constantly doing reality defying feats.
–
–
Also, D does has something akin to Superman’s krpytonite. Being a half vampire, he is somewhat vulnerable in the daylight and over extended periods, he will not be able to fight as well as he normally would. Of course, this is what I have read in the first couple of volumes of VHD. This may have changed in the later volumes 10+.
