Who would be a good match for Siddharta vs?

Scaling isn't super important, just whoever he'd have an interesting fight with?

Sun Wukong vs Violence Incarnate

Requested by u/Interesting_Emu999

Battle of Fa Jin users. I would also like to see VI up against Beowulf, Heracles or Zeus too

So refresher for Sun Wukong's kit:

  • His foresight is able to keep up with Jurota for the majority of their match.

  • His main ability is called Self-Flow which sets him up to manipulate his own motion extremely effectively, including when being struck and thrown by another person. He does have a Weeping Willow-esque throw called Golden Dawn.

  • Most of his feats are just comparative and people being impressed by his speed which I won't include, but one pretty big feat is showing a consistent ability to react to the Swing, even though variants of the Swing tend to throw him off, but he does manage to show adaptation to these variations as well.

  • His entire fight with Jurota is centered around counterplay. For each adaptation one makes, the other is forced to keep doing the same such that neither can say with certainty if any given trick works more than once or twice.

  • His main style is based around Capoeira, when he locks in he uses a custom-made style called Kinto'Un that adds in elements of Chinese martial arts and other styles focused around kicking that let him move in pretty interesting ways, generate force for both strikes and motion very quickly.

  • His "Spear" is called Foguang, which combines throwing multiple kicks per jump with precise Karate-style toe kicks that target vulnerable points, sort of an aerial kicking Dragon Vein.

  • Willpower is exactly an ability or whatever but he was content to fight for quite a while with a crushed elbow, even using the arm to strike, and when his heel was also crushed he still stood on that foot when necessary .

  • His personality is on the surface jovial and unserious, but he can get serious when required. Generally, any setback or "bullshit" his opponent pulls will make him angry, highly unpredictable but also emotional so his judgement can falter intermittently.

Nomi no Sukune vs Tomahawk

Obviously they're pretty different characters, but both are strong in their respective tournaments (Contest of Gods and Men and the Convict Colosseum respectively), both are very proficient and controlled in their martial arts, both use techniques external to their main style (Sumo and Muay Thai) and both ultimately are unable to continue after their opponent quickly dispatches them using a power that defies logic

I'm not gonna say who I think wins but since there are people who wont know much about Nomi no Sukune or may need reminding:

  • Sukune is a tough opponent from the get-go, since he starts out very strong and fast as a Sumo practitioner, but that only lasts for 1-2 minutes depending on how persistent he's being in exerting himself
  • If Tomahawk can get through Sukune's maximum muscle output window, exhaustion sets in pretty heavily and Sukunes speed drops considerably
  • Sukune's Sukune Style comes out when he feels like his Sumo alone isn't working. The philosophy of the style itself is quite close to Sumo but includes close-fist techniques, low kicks, knees, elbows and various grappling techniques from Aikido and Sambo etc. — the new techniques themselves more exist to either fit into a Sumo combination or set up a Sumo technique

Kengan Olympus Chapter 63 - Evolution

Link to Chapter 63

Chapter written by u/Interesting_Emu999 and HeadHorror4349

Cover art by HeadHorror4349

Sorry about variable cover quality, some of this is quite old and I've not had a lot of time lately to go back over it and fix. Expect a generally higher level from hereon though.

Also, sorry about the 6 month wait, someone (and I'm not naming names, but it wasn't me) had writer's block and couldn't get any of this fight written.

Good news about Olympus

The delays regarding Chapter 63 onward have been resolved (I took the reigns and actually wrote them because the other guy was having such severe writers block that I got bored of waiting and started a whole different Olympus-related project)

​

Chapter 63 is expected to drop after the first round of the Absolute Olympus CGM tournament continues. As for the continuing release of Absolute Olympus CGM matches, I can figure something out later maybe. Chapter 63 already up on Archiveofourown, if you'd prefer to wait until I post it then that's fair because I am still planning out my illustrations

​

Those of you who enjoyed the series thus far did not deserve to be made to wait this long, but the silver lining is I actually decided to use the time to redo some older stuff I was dissatisfied with

This probably won't go anywhere from an artwork perspective but I'm posting the match-up to get y'all's thoughts on the possibility
