Board 8 > King of Fighters 2020 (NOT MERCS) R1D38: He-Man vs Dregg Morris (Mid)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Welcome to the King of Fighters 2020 (NOT MERCS) Simulated Character Battle Tournament!

The game is simple. The two* listed characters are placed in an (imaginary) location with a variety of (imaginary) environments, kind of like a picture in a child's schoolbook that describes different types of geological features. Within a ten mile radius, there is an (imaginary) urban downtown, exurbs, plains, snow-clad mountains at the edge, dry plains, etc. Fighters start wherever is most appropriate for them, but feel increasingly compelled to seek out their opponent and fight. Strong-willed fighters can try to hold out in their chosen environment for longer... eventually, all will succumb and actively search for the other to battle.

To participate, just vote in bold for whichever character you believe will win. Giving reasoning is optional, but please be polite and read what others have said and carefully make your decision. I'll ping the nominators (they can opt out) to give arguments if they wish.

TODAY'S PARTICIPANTS:
He-Man (Masters of the Universe)

With the powers that only an 80's action cartoon can grant, He-Man is nonetheless limited in how much he can exert himself before running out of juice

vs

Dregg Morris (Medieval Cop)

Capable of using the power of Dimensional Debate (not anything like Umineko thankfully), Dregg Morris can hypnotize or mentally bedazzle opponents if they aren't strong enough to oppose his mind

@Kamekguy @O n e I really need you here for this one buddy

FIGHT

He-Man has resisted someone trying to control his mind and body before (https://m.imgur.com/a/HAhqw6M here, if you feel like reading a big ol comic strip) so I'm leaning him at the moment, I don't know how capable Dregg is though

actually is He-Man going to transform from Clark Kent mode as soon as he sees his opponent, or right away or what?

I think I actually played one of Dregg's flash games but I remember nothing

here's a wiki link though
https://medieval-cop.fandom.com/wiki/Dregg_Moriss

Trivia
- Dregg cannot die.

oh

That wiki is terrible in general, and in particular likes to present what's clearly snarky hyperbole made by Dregg as fact

One time Skeletor was doing something really nasty to the tides of Eternia by moving the moon out of orbit.

He-Man got on a wind rider, flew up to the moon, and pushed it back into orbit through the power of pushing it... and Grayskull, I guess.

This is congruous with the time he lifted all of Castle Grayskull, threw it, and then threw a grappling hook onto it so that he could ride it. Or the time he saw a fissure in the earth, stuck his sword in, and vibrated the sword so fast that the earth re-closed.

He-Man is the definition of "stupid strength" in an actual warrior form. Rather than pure destructive power, He-Man is granted knowledge and knightly wisdom by the spirit of King Grayskull, who inhabits his sword, and the Sorceress, who is basically in constant codec conversation with He-Man whether he wants it or not. This has been used for him to resist the influence of King Hsss in the past, where when everyone else in He-Man's friend group became a snake-person, He-Man was able to resist because of course he did.

I am very interested to see what any given He-Man opponent can do, because when they throw something at him and tell him to "jump", he is probably the best example of going back and asking "how high"?

As for transformation, Adam's generally a coward and pragmatist before nobility (until he learns a lesson by being He-Man or something), so if he senses the murderous intent of the weird fight dimension, he'd probably go He-Man in a second.

Isn't Dregg essentially completely immune to death regardless of how it happens?

the person who knows anything about Dregg is unpingable!

No like, I've played the series. He has essentially defeated Death himself in a debate (multiple times) and the name of one of his powers is "Conqueror of Death" There are at least two times he dies and comes back to life like it never happened.

He is virtually immune to dying until he chooses to allow it to happen, which he will only do under one very specific circumstance that would never be addressed here.

And his potential powers are freaky and can easily flat out destroy the mind of most people, much less those with a weaker mental constitution. I feel like he'd be able to effortlessly mind-bomb He-Man if he even tried a little. People with established lesser powers than his have been able to mentally ruin others, even to the point of making them commit suicide.

Okay but what if He-Man, like.

Threw him into space.

Would he stop thinking before He-Man's lifespan ended?

---

I don't think killing one's opponent is necessary for a win - knocking them out or incapacitating them would work.

This. Does Dregg have any immunity to conk-out? Because if not, this seems like an easy smash for He-Man.

if anyone is bored enough to do some research I found the one I played lol

it was pretty short iirc

He-Man via Ring out. If He man can resist mental attacks to a degree, Dregg is in DEEP TROUBLE.

Dregg gets grabbed and thrown to the wrong side of the world where he lands in the ocean.

"mid" tier

anyway he-man does mental resistance, yes. he's also strong enough to move planetary bodies and can move at ludicrous speeds. don't remember the exact speed but it might be light speed since he can move across space at meaningful distances? but whatever, complaining about the tiers at this stage is pointless.

wish there weren't so many "this character cannot die under any circumstances" nominated, it's starting to make the matches really boring. honestly though I take this contest a lot less seriously than any other character battle topic series in the past. so I'm just going to assume that he-man can fling him somewhere from which he can never return -- essentially as good as dead.

He-Man just says stfu and throws dregg into the sun
