Mik vs Kiryu
Captier Round 2

**Round 1**
Kiryu
* Statpost
* Tigra has the superior physicals and the means of closing the distance and dispatching Mako in melee.
* Tigra lifting strength is vastly greater than Mako’s
* Mako’s durability sucks
* Mako has no listed piercing resistance
* Firebending is visually slow
* Tigra has good heat resistance

* Cheetah has the means of closing the distance between herself and Taniel, closing out whatever range advantage the latter might otherwise have.
* Taniel’s gun sucks
* Cheetah is tougher than Taniel
* Taniel doesn’t have good piercing resistance, and Cheetah’s all about that
* Cheetah is stronger than Taniel

* Combustion Man is a glass cannon
* The moment Predalien gets in range and utilizes her inner jaws is the moment CM dies.
* CM's strength/durability is weaker than Predalien's
* Visually slow beams
*  CM continues the trend of no piercing resistance.

Mik
* The starting distance is ~50 ft., "visually slow" isn't evidence of anything
* Mako fires ranged attacks across the 50 ft. starting distance that in sheer concussive force alone KOs Tigra
* Tigra is rendered useless by basically anything that hits her. In this fight, even a stunning attack cascades into a dozen more attacks she's worthless at defending against.
* Of course, there's the esoteric component to Mako's ranged attacks to consider as he can also burn his fire hot or shoot lethal bolts of electricity.
* Tigra has no real electricity resistance
* Tigra getting hit inhibits her throughout the fight
* Mako is too fast and skilled for Tigra to ever close the distance.
* Tigra does not have speed feats, she has opponents with bad aim
* Tigra has no demonstrated speed for crossing the starting distance any faster than an average person
* At a lowball of 2 attacks per second, Mako gets 44 attacks on Tigra before she can do anything.
* Tigra's claws are short and she needs to cut something vital to actually do harm
* By contrast, Mako's fighting style guards his vitals and if he takes hits at all it's guarded with his arms
* Catra's strength is bad

* Taniel gun good
* Taniel is insanely accurate
* Cheetah is slow
* Cheetah basically has good reactions stipped out and is functionally regular ass human
* Cheetah offense bad

* Predalian's Defense < CM offense
* The phrase "visually slow" here is unquantifiable, meaningless, and frankly just lazy.
* Predalian is bad at dodging
* Predalien dies long before a melee occurs, and even then would die in a melee
* Predalien has no superhuman movement speed whatsoever
* Even if Predalien moved at a dead sprint it would take 22 seconds to reach CM, giving CM time to fire multiple blasts even at a low ball with some blasts following less than a second on the heels of the blast prior.
* Predalien does not fight evasively

**Round 2**
Kiryu
* Mako doesn’t use his lightning as efficiently as claimed, and Tigra is more than capable of surviving his attacks well enough to engage in melee.
* Mako's heat < Tigra's heat resistance
* Mako telegraphs his attacks
* Tigra IS in fact dodging
* Tigra is durable
* Tigra is fast enough to dodge Mako’s projectiles, tough enough to take what hits of his do land, and strong enough to easily best him in melee where he has no asserted advantage.

* Taniel needs to focus and expend powder to keep his bullets going long enough to reach their target. Cheetah’s jumping will force him to try and keep his sights on her, making it all the more difficult for him.
* Even with no scaling, Wonder Woman is clearly not a normal person given the objective feats she pulls off. Taniel reacting faster than normal men isn’t anything impressive.
* Cheetah has some damn good resistance to blunt force, meanwhile Taniel is still vulnerable to cuts even if he doesn’t feel it; not noticing when he’s been cut will only hurt him as he won’t notice the increasing severity of his wounds until it’s too late.
* That’s going to be what happens to him against Cheetah in melee; she’ll be leaving him staggered with her strikes long enough to just yeet him just how he got tossed in that scan

* The beam travels quite slowly across the screen here, taking roughly 3 seconds to travel a small section of land
* CM’s beam is slow and his physicals are bad. Predalien dominates.

Mik
* The Hawkeye feat is a training session which likely isn't him trying his hardest to hit her
* Hawkeye doesn't even demonstrate very good feats
* Most of Tigra's other feats don't involve particularly good aimers
* Mako also doesn't telegraph hard
* Mako produces boulder-shattering force with his fireblasts. Tigra surviving hits like them doesn't matter if she's floored by them.
* Tigra has 1 even arguable heat resistance feat and it collapses under any scrutiny.
* Tigra has 1 interaction with electricity and it's actually evidence to the contrary of her surviving Mako's bolt.
* Mako does not even need superhuman durability to survive Tigra's hits because there's nothing demonstrably superhuman about them.

* Nothing has been done to show how fast or tough WW is, leaving us with no other conclusion than that a humanly fast and humanly tough person can outfight Cheetah.
* Taniel starting to feel pain while making a 2 mile shot, yet still shoots accurately at 6 miles is, if anything, evidence of how incredibly simple a 15 meter shot would be.
* Taniel's demonstrably the faster combatant here, and barely anything's even been argued for Cheetah's speed. She has no capacity to dodge his bullets at the round's start, and even if she did she has no way to avoid him bayoneting her in the face the moment she's in melee.

* CM's blast speed > Predalien running speed
* Just as in all the other matches, there's 0 reason Predalien can cross the starting 15 meters without getting hit. Yet again my challenge for a speed feat evidencing Predalien crossing that distance in under 22 seconds went unanswered.

Conclusion:
Mako vs Tigra - Winner: Mako.
Taniel vs Cheetah - Winner: Taniel.
CM vs Predalien - Winner: CM.
Overall Winner: Mik

Mik does an insanely good job in deconstructing his opponent's characters and pointing out their flaws. He also does an extremely good defense of attacks on his own characters, pointing out the age old "VISUALLY SLOW" argument isn't actually an objective speed and only an opinion, and counting time it takes and/or actual objective speed is a far better way to determine if its slow or not. Largely, I do think Kiryu was held back immensely by the strength of his draft but I have nothing to really criticize.
