Im probably misinformed, but from what i have heard of Dark Schneider in several vs topics, i thought the Eternal Atoms are simply the core of his existence. Meaning that you can hurt him just fine in a number of ways. But if you cant destroy the Eternal Atoms, he does not die. Is my understanding of it completely wrong?
Additionally, Dark Schneider possesses Eternal Atoms, which allow him to recover from all attacks, unless the wards that protect them are completely dismantled. Each of these wards is said to be able to absorb the brunt of a concentrated discharge of atomic energy for one hour before dissipating, and always cancels the attack which broke it, preventing any leftover force from affecting other wards.
Bolded for emphasis. Until the wards are all popped nothing happens. And whaddya know...Darsh can repower those wards at will. THIS is why this battle is a total stalemate: Dark Schneider is nigh-impossible to kill because he has to be blitzed with thousands, if not millions of attacks before he can react, or he will re-lift the wards and the process will begin anew. Now, why is this a problem? Simple. Normally this ability is pretty spiffy, but Darsh can't hurt Time Trapper Prime. Like, at all. TTP has tanked universe-busting attacks, and the best Darsh has ever done is rip pieces of the universe apart. This is why neither can hurt each other...which means no Bloodstone. So it comes down to one of the characters winning without KOing the other one. Darsh doesn't have anything he can use to pull that off, according to the scan topic I posted before. Prime might be able to timewarp Darsh to a different dimension, however, which would ring him out. So, one of them has an improbable shot at victory. The other one has *no* hope of victory. Who's the better choice?
