Charcharius demonstration - tkarena.proboards81.com/index.cgi?board=demo&action=display&thread=1178130797Rygama demonstration tkarena.proboards81.com/index.cgi?board=demo&action=display&thread=1175295855Arena: The Great Barrier Reef, just cause it's pretty. Rules: Charcharius and Rygama are both scaled. Charcharius has his regeneration. Rygama doesn't. My take: Nothing if not fun. Both are melee dominators, both have a variety of vicious tricks, and neither is likely to step out of the water. Rygama's camouflage is useless, seeing as how Charcharius sports ampulae of lorenzini, like a true shark, allowing him to spot electrical currents. And since Rygama's inner being is a constantly radiating force... Her heat resistance is meaningless against a fellow brawler, and I question whether Charcharius is intelligent enough to fall for the siren's dance. While Ry does have a beam weapon - one that is no longer limited in shots, I doubt it'll be a major factor. This is going to be a straight up brawl, pure and simple. Charcharius has an edge with his regeneration and anti-coagulant, but at the same time, Rygama's got her superior strength and intelligence on her side. I could see it going either way. Charcharius might manage to take off a few considerable bites, crippling Rygama long enough to finish her, but at the same time, Chacharius is as vulnerable as any other to having his throat ripped out.

Hmm... Close. Rygama also has that temperature thing she can do in the water, and if memory serves, that could boil our fishy friend alive. Close battle, I say draw.

Hmm...this really is a tough one. Both are incredibly hard to put down (Carcharius has pain immunity once he gets into his berserker mode, and Rygama is, well, Rygama), both have excellent melee capabilities, both are exceedingly adept in the water...
The only things Rygama really has over Carcharius are her intelligence (Carcharius is pretty much just a slightly smarter shark), and her ranged projectiles. Carcharius' regen will help him keep going as well. And then Carcharius has the whole anti-coagulant thing.
I guess I'll side with MM and go for a draw. They just seem very evenly matched.

Pain immunity can also be a disadvantage once in a while, if only for a few small reasons...nonetheless, I lean to Ry. Brains over brawn, I always say, and I'm not sure how her foe will react to the Psychedelic Dance o' Doom. The projectiles will also give a small advantage, too...

The brains over brawn thing doesn't really work when Rygama statistically has superior strength AND brainpower. Charcharius does, however, have the weaponry and regen to hold his own against that.
