Who's the Overall Winner and what Difficulty?

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 12h ago

Erik high diff. Beast is bullet resistant not bullet proof, and since Erik's fireballs are more or less similar in power to bullets, he can outzone Beast. In mid-range, the lasso would likely be useful for hanging. Hypnosis will be useful too since Beast doesn't have feats showing resistance to that. CQC is a big issue, but with his stealth feats I think Erik can escape quickly. High diff is due to Beast absolutely destroying him in CQC

Beast Low-Mid Diff

It doesn't matter how skilled and smart Erik is, he's not winning a physical confrontation against The Beast and all of his trick while only delay the inevitable

2

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Beast mid-high diff. Erik's illusions could work against Beast, and it would give Beast a hard time fighting him based on his fighting abilities. But it would be clear that Beast has resisted magic before, like Maestro Forte's music notes. Plus, Beast's strength would overwhelm Erik.

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 13h ago

Erik. Pyrokinesis, Hypnosis, Curse inducement(Carlotta's voice gone), possible manipulation of stuff in the opera house(The lasso hanging Buquet, the destruction of the backdrop inHannibal), possible teleportation(pulling Christine through the mirror and into the lair under the Opera House)

Excuse me, what!? I thought he was just some weird guy who lives underground with a dramatic piano

4

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 12h ago

Nope! In fact the list I gave is non-exhaustive. He's a trained fighter too. Idk why this guy's lore runs so deep when I first watched the musical I thought he's also just a theatrical melodramatic deformed dude

Pyrokinesis: "Wandering Child" (clips online from the movie don't show it, but irl does! The movie does show his swordplay though)

Hypnosis: "Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh" and either "Angel of Music" or the title track

Curse inducement: Right after "Prima Donna"

Manipulation: "Hannibal Rehearsal"

Teleportation: "The Mirror"

Rules:

  • How I decide the catagories: I will take all the upvotes from each comments in the catagory and which ever character has the most upvotes in total will take the catagory.

  • No Downvoting: It accomplishes nothing and only makes things worse for the rest who're expecting a fair debate. If I recieve upto date evidence of vote rigging, I will suspend the perpetrator(s) for 2-weeks.

  • Give an Explanation: When choosing who takes Strength, Speed, etc, please give a rough or thorough explanation for your choice. A link to a source to back up your reasoning would also help, if you're able to.

  • No Favouritism: We all don't like to see our favourite characters lose but in a debate we must put those feelings aside for a fair and equal fight.

Strength = Physical output (e.g. How physically strong are they, how much can they lift, etc).

Powers = more conventional advantages like flying, ice breath, super speed.

Hax = weirder abilities like Gojo’s infinite, temporal lock, death immunity.

Attack Potency = the amount of destructive capacity they can produce.

Combat = knowledgable with martial arts/H2H (e.g. Boxing, Judo, etc).

Abilities = non-superhuman things like aiming, jumping, etc.

Who takes Strength?

u/malathan1234 Still haha I’m surprised, you don’t recognize your old home 13h ago

Beast

2

u/No-Entertainment5599 13h ago

Beast, Erik is just a normal human while Beast is shown to have strenght way above normal humans

1

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 13h ago edited 13h ago

Beast. Ripping out statue is much more than whatever base Erik has shown in the musical

1

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Beast. Knowing that he has broken a couple of wooden doors and wrestled a pack of wolves and Gaston, it would be clear that he is stronger than Erik.

2

u/MrRKeegan My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 13h ago

Who takes Speed?

u/malathan1234 Still haha I’m surprised, you don’t recognize your old home 13h ago

Besst

2

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 12h ago

Tie. Neither has particularly strong speed feats

1

u/No-Entertainment5599 13h ago

Beast, just like strength Beast is superior to normal humans

1

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Beast by a slight edge. Erik may be fast enough to escape being caught by people hunting him, but Beast is superior to normal humans. Who has different types of animal bodies

2

u/MrRKeegan My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 13h ago

Who takes Durability?

Beast. Bullet resistance go brrrrr

1

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Beast. He took an arrow/bullet that could kill a regular human being.

2

Who takes Skill?

5

u/malathan1234 Still haha I’m surprised, you don’t recognize your old home 13h ago

Erik (I think)

2

u/No-Entertainment5599 13h ago edited 12h ago

Erik, he's a very skilled assassin who has trained all his life and has his illusions meanwhile Beast does nothing aside from fighting like a brute with no training

2

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 12h ago

Erik. Trained circus performer and military guy iirc

1

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Erik. He is a skilled assassin who has yet to be caught. He has always been hidden, but no human being has ever caught him

2

u/MrRKeegan My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 13h ago

Who takes Experience?

u/malathan1234 Still haha I’m surprised, you don’t recognize your old home 13h ago

Erik

2

u/No-Entertainment5599 13h ago

Erik, he trained himself while Beast did nothing aside from being miserable in his castle

1

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 12h ago

Erik on account of being older

1

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Erik, same explanation from skills

1

u/Horatio786 My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 6h ago

Erik on account of actually having combat experience.

2

u/MrRKeegan My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 13h ago

Who takes Intelligence?

4

u/malathan1234 Still haha I’m surprised, you don’t recognize your old home 13h ago

Erik

2

u/No-Entertainment5599 13h ago

Erik, it shown that he's a well educated man while again, Beast didn't receive much education after being cursed

1

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 13h ago

Erik on account of being older and human longer, hence being able to develop his talents as a scholar, magician, architect, inventor, and composer. Beast is a royal, yes, but being turned into a chimera before 21 really stunts your education

1

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Erik by a mile. Especially how he created a hiding place only for Christine to show.

2

u/MrRKeegan My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 13h ago

Who takes Weapons?

5

u/malathan1234 Still haha I’m surprised, you don’t recognize your old home 13h ago

Erik

3

u/No-Entertainment5599 13h ago

Erik because he's the only one with weapons

2

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 12h ago

Erik. The lasso is a pretty strong wincon, and Beast has no real "weapon" aside from the mirror which to my knowledge is a glorified CCTV

1

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Erik, no question

2

u/MrRKeegan My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 13h ago

Who takes Combat?

4

u/No-Entertainment5599 13h ago edited 12h ago

Erik, like I said he's a trained assassin while Beast just use his raw strength so someone skilled like Erik could take advantage of that

3

u/wongjunx-kingofbeef Makima vs. Tooru fan 12h ago

Erik. Battled soldiers and skilled warriors before, skilled whip user. Beast's best feats are against Gaston and a pack of wolves, one a hunter and one a bunch of animals, hence not really a good showing of his skill

1

u/malathan1234 Still haha I’m surprised, you don’t recognize your old home 13h ago

Beast

1

u/TJ_Boii23 6h ago

Slightly leaning towards Erik. He is a skilled swordsman, no doubt. But Beast also has fights in him, but a minor disadvantage for him is that after his fight with the wolves, he is badly injured, and almost dies at the hands of Gaston.

Beast has some serious parkour skills so him
