Event Clash of Titans Season 3 Round 2.
Out of Tier Rules
For Out of Tier requests, Simply debate better than your opponents. The judges will judge the quality of both participants arguments into question and decide a winner based on that.
Battle Rules
Speed - movement speed and combat speed will be set at Mach 1, Combat and movement speed, with their reactions scaled down/up relatively. Speed boosts via abilities, however, are indeed allowed to make one surpass this base speed threshold.
Battleground:
Its SCP-3008. SCP 3008 is an huge space (Current measurements indicate an area of at least 10km2) designed to look like the inside of a regular Ikea store. The arena will be tall enough that the largest submitted character can fit comfortably inside. Combatants start 10 meters away from each other, and in a line spaced 2 meters apart from their allies. Every combatant starts each round being 'teleported' into the arena, knowing full well whomever they face down needs to die or be incapacitated in order for they themselves to advance and win and will do so, and with knowledge of their allies' weapons and abilities. All combatants begin without any weapons drawn or abilities active, hands idle at their sides, weapons holstered, and the moment they teleport in they can begin combat. All combatants are in-character for the tourney itself. No character can escape SCP-3008.
As a side note, the towns that have been set up as well as SCP-3008-2 are not present for the tourney.
Side side note, while combatants cannot exit the arena that does not preclude parts of the arena being torn off and used as weapons.
Combatants spawn in the very center of the Ikea.
Submission Rules
Tier:
Must be able to win an unlikely victory, draw/near draw, or likely victory against
Ben Grimm AKA The Thing
in the conditions outlined above; All entrants will be bloodlusted against The Thing, meaning they will act fully rationally and put down their opponent in the quickest, most efficient manner possible regardless of morality, utilizing any and all possible techniques/tactics/attacks if necessary.
For tier setter fights/OOT requests assume both Thing and your character are bloodlusted
Debate Rules
Rounds will last 5 days, hopefully from Tuesday until Sunday of each week of the tourney; there is a 48 hour time limit both on starting (we do not care who starts, you and your opponent can figure that out) AND on responses, AND ADDITIONALLY each user MUST get in two responses or else be disqualified. If one user waits until the very last minute to force this rule to DQ their opponent without any forewarning to their opponents or the tournament supervisors, they will be removed from this tournament, no exceptions.
Format for each round: both respondents get Intro + 1st Response, then 2nd response, then a 3rd response and closing statement individual of one another that can be posted any time after both 3rd responses are complete. EACH RESPONSE MUST BE NO LONGER THAN THREE REDDIT COMMENTS LONG WITH A HARD CAP OF 25,000 CHARACTERS SPLIT BETWEEN THE THREE.
Rounds will either be a full 3v3 Team Match, or 1v1 single matches. 1v1 matches are determined by randomization. Match format will switch every round, with Team Matches always followed by single matches, and vice versa. First Round will be determined by coin flip.

Part 2 Response 2
Yuma vs Thing
Yuma's Offense vs Angrir's Defense Re-contextualized
Yuma is capable hitting hard. Using his 5x Boost seal Yuma is capable is capable of essentially shattering the entire left arm of a Rabit (note bottom middle panel). To put this in context a Rabit is capable of taking zero damage from an attack that can eviscerate a Trion Body from hundreds of meters through multiple walls. As a refresher here is the durability of a Trion body (note the collapsing structure of many of the houses).
Using his 5x boost seal each of hits have to ability to destroy the bodies of individuals who can take attacks which destroy multi-level structures. This is also before his peak of 7x. Angrir is going to be hard pressed to consistently withstand this level of output.
This is also not factoring the offensive capacity of his Bound Seal. Which can launch people hard enough to destroy the faces of buildings. And he is shown access to a 6x bound seal.
This is also without mention that he can hit Angrir from essentially anywhere using his Bolt seal and as shown earlier they hit quite hard.
Yuma's Defense vs Angrir Re-established
The likelihood of the Black Trigger having durability less than a normal Border Trigger is quite low. Black Trigger are explicitly stated to be more powerful than normal Triggers so much so that they can change the tide of entire wars between countries with just a few.
At the bare minimum Yuma's Black trigger is as durable as the normal Trion Body when in reality it's very likely much more.
This is all of course neglecting how Angrir will struggle significantly in hitting Yuma, who has no problem using seals such as Bound, Chain, and Shield to avoid contact.
Rebuttals
Whats stopping Yuma from holding Angrir in the air with Chain, or propelling him away? Also angrir has a different characterization than Thing, which doesn't make a grapple charge seem likely.
The scaling there is dubious as the main feat is separated by many decades and Angrir's ability to beat the wrecker was not a relevant point of contention it was to demonstrate the capacity [Angrir's] to be injured by weaker individuals.
It's unlikely Reed is referring to the floor reinforced as it can be seen collapsing, he's more than likely talking about the surrounding structure of the building.
Angrir's Lightning
Angrir hasn't hasn't demonstrated the ability to consistently hit fast moving targets in an area with varying visibility such as an IKEA, he used it on Sue who was standing still.
Well it's to be frank it's depicted as near instantly 1 2 3, and he has shown 7x multipliers. I'm being generous with the time due to this quote here, but even then he has demonstrated quick complex Seals with minimal if any help from Replica (the subject of the previous scan).
It's quite unlikely that an individual would specifically have increased durability to specifically piercing based attacks without mention of it (There is not mention). The idea that he has a shield there is a common misconception but it would be in contrast to "every single" other depiction of shield of a shield in the series as in it is clearly visually shown after the shot/slash/etc.
To clarify Yuma isn't limited to using one seal at time he can use multiple simultaneously.
Conclusion
It hasn't been demonstrated how Angrir is going to effectively deal with Yuma's mobility which would all but nullify his ability to land strikes especially when used in conjunction which Yuma's ability to displace Angrir's own positioning as well. This is all without factoring Yuma's own durability and his access to shields as well. Yuma's ability to hurt people of a comparable durability to Angrir will make him very hard-pressed to be victorious. Even in the event that it's an extensive time consuming endeavor it's not as if Yuma is pressed for time.
