Fem Judgements

#Kirbin vs Ame

######Ame wins

#Embrace vs. Ralton

Ralton wins cleanly. All of the refutations of Superdooms win conditions struck me as weak, and Ralton properly called them out. The heat and poison resistance feats given for Ghandarva are clearly far below what would be needed to survive Superdoom’s aura, and Superdoom has several other win conditions on top of it. I’m fairly convinced that there isn’t a real timeframe for the ice win con for Ghandarva, which is the only way this character theoretically could before getting killed imo.

######RALTON WINS

#Wolf vs Corv

Very slightly leaning *Wolf* on this one. I believe both of these fighters are strong enough to trade blows for a long time in this fight, and might even slightly favor Broly for his physicals, but Hulk’s grappling option is too powerful and too likely to be used throughout an extended fight. Once in a grapple, I don’t think there’s anything Broly can do since Hulk’s durability is so far above his strength.

######WOLF WINS

#Crim vs Verlux

The defense for the shock waves of the blood spear against crushing Naruto’s organs weren’t convincing in the slightest to me, whereas Verlux efficiently argued it to be exactly the sort of attack that kills Naruto. I think Naruto could hypothetically win due to lack of good durability posted for Tian, but between the murkiness of whether his clones cut his durability, how monochrome affects him, and the dubious prospect of him even surviving the shockwaves or pressure, his win con is just too unclear.

######VERLUX WINS

#FJ vs Josh

 Bambino isn’t OOT. It became pretty clear that Bambino mogs by existing early in the round. I don’t necessarily buy that adamantium weapons are automatically useless, but the fact that it’s as easy to kill Speedfreak as it is coupled with the fact that Speedfreak can’t reliably one shot makes it seem pretty clear that this is Bambino’s victory.

######JOSH WINS
