Board 8 > King of Fighters 2020 (NOT MERCS) R1D48: Hornblower vs George Constanza (Low)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Welcome to the King of Fighters 2020 (NOT MERCS) Simulated Character Battle Tournament!

The game is simple. The two* listed characters are placed in an (imaginary) location with a variety of (imaginary) environments, kind of like a picture in a child's schoolbook that describes different types of geological features. Within a ten mile radius, there is an (imaginary) urban downtown, exurbs, plains, snow-clad mountains at the edge, dry plains, etc. Fighters start wherever is most appropriate for them, but feel increasingly compelled to seek out their opponent and fight. Strong-willed fighters can try to hold out in their chosen environment for longer... eventually, all will succumb and actively search for the other to battle.

To participate, just vote in bold for whichever character you believe will win. Giving reasoning is optional, but please be polite and read what others have said and carefully make your decision. I'll ping the nominators (they can opt out) to give arguments if they wish.

Horatio Hornblower

yeah

favorite Horatio memory: he made a topic saying "I will rate and do a writeup for the 50th poster in this topic. Unless I don't know them or they suck, in which case I'll do the 49th poster, and so on."

people really wanted in on this thing, there were like a dozen posts in five seconds as the topic neared the 50-mark

then Horatio did a writeup of himself

he's a humble man, he gave himself 8/10

Do you see that bat? That form? That glint of calculated sadism in his eyes?

George

George Costanza is incapable of winning anything. He could conceivably lie his way out of a fight if his opponent were gullible enough, but then there'd be the matter of actually defeating them.

Looking over the Low bracket, I would give George a shot at defeating the following entrants:

• Sheldon (I mean, duh)
• Asobi Asobase (this was that muscular beetle, right? I could see George accidentally stepping on it)
• Battler (nobody is better at lies and misdirection than George, and I could see him dealing with Battler's magic nonsense just fine and even enjoying himself)
• Paddington (this might be the only match he conclusively wins? He is immune to Paddington's friendship and drops the bear in the ocean or something)
• Thibault Tresca (he can go out for coffee with George and Sheldon)

These matches would be amusing to see:

• Chara (George would talk down to them and they would just stab him to death)
• Mr. Bean (the anti-George, protected by random chance and buffoonery)
• Thunderbull (runs from a truck)

Going to assume Horatio can conceivably defeat him but I will do the polite thing and wait for arguments.

I'm wondering about George vs. Scheherazade

I guess it doesn't work because she has actual magical offense based on FGO, but what if she only had her storytelling hax
---

George probably falls in love with her and believes every word she says, at great expense to him. He's done it before!

Mr. Bean would kick George's ass. Horatio

not seinfeld

Horatio

I totally agree that George beats Battler, but this is not Battler.

Hornblower

Horatio has commandeered multiple warships, escaped from a Spanish POW camp, stopped a terrorist attack, and outwitted the best of French and Spanish naval commanders.

George Costanza is a funny jerk.

I want to go with yes, but Battler is still really ???? for me.
