The Harpy - Stats and Demo Battle

Arena: Australian Outback.

----------

Kaiju swordfight. Oh yes. Both are very proficient with their respective blades, and said blades are pretty equal in maiming ability. That being said, Harpy has much greater strength, but BF has superior speed. The shields and presence of ranged weaponry are helpful too. So yeah, siding with BF.

No matter who you are, you'll always side with your own character, unless it's a ridiculous mismatch.

I'm not insinuating anything, it just seemed like now was as good a time as any to verbalize that observation.

Anyway, the match is quite close. I'm gonna be honest, in a swordfight, Harpy dominantes, by virture of madly durable blades and MAD strength, versus scrawny, mechanical appendages.

BF does indeed have ranged weaponry, but only the LPCs offer any real benefits. Only a fool or else a guy who's not really trying and just wants to make himself look cool would try to hit a thing like the Harpy with a CPC or similar weapon.
Harpy's lack of ranged weaponry largely voids the sheild mechanism, save for perhaps an occasional lucky block.
BF may have his hover mechanism, but between Harpy's monstrous stride and leaping abilities, as well as its grotesque flexibility, I can see that not mattering a whole lot. BF can back off and resort to beam spamming, but keep in mind, Harpy moves VERY quickly. If it can survive not one but two close quarters brawls with Rygama, it can take a few LPCs if it has to.
Again, with Harpy's strength, a sword fight would more than likely end in severe maimage on BF's part. I'm sorry, but a telephone-pole-like appendage is not the best thing to mount your primary weapons on.

If BF continuously backs off and spams its LPCs, then it could concievably take the win, but if a melee battle came up, I'm afraid the Harpy has the advantage.

Considering BF's blades are going to be energized, they're just as likely to damage Harpy's blades as vice-versa.

And the thickness of the Buster Claw arms isn't nearly as much of an issue as you make it out to be. The utterly insane flexibility they have (3 universal joints in each arm), combined with the tremendous speed with which they can move, makes them extremely difficult to even hit. Take a swing at the arm, one of the blades parries it while another swings out and catches Harpy. And that's just with one Buster Claw.

And I rather doubt Harpy's pilot will enjoy the electrical discharge...

But gawd, this'd be a helluva fight to watch.

This is a tough one.

Both combatants are speedy, armed to the teeh (in the BF's case, literally) with bladed weaponry, and both have great range and flexibility with said weapons. The BF has the definitive ranged advantage, and even if the Tesla Claw won't short out the Harpy's pseudo-organic circuitry, or whatever it was called, that can still hurt as well.

The appendages on which the Buster Claws ar emounte dmay be flimsy, but getting to them is the hard part. This really could go either way, although if th eBF can get at a range and keep it, he coul dLPC the Harpy to death. Dodging near lightspeed beams is a feet that I'm not sure he can manage.
