I'd give it to gray fox. Vamp relies on muscle reading which wont work if gray fox can turn invisible. That said I think Vamp would win without invisibility in play.
@ghostravage I know you wanted to debate for X but you were to busy to participate in battle of the week so I made this thread if your interested. Apologies for hosting battle of the week that week, I didn't know you were busy.
For this weeks battle of the week we decided to try and give two obscure characters a shot! We used Stephanie Brown against X! And we had a low turn out for this weeks battle of the week.....However X ended up taking 54% of the votes along with the victory! Lets see some arguments from fellow viners:
Steph wins without much trouble from what I've seen. X's only real edges are healing, bullet timing feats and maybe certain stat edges. I don't think he actually has combat showings like beating Catwoman, Huntress and Man-Bat (Langstrom, not the fodder bats). I've read her Batgirl run so maybe I'll drop a longer post later, I think she was around Damian's level Pre-New 52.
I'm not super familiar with Stephanie, and not at all with X, but after looking at those threads, I can see why this match makes sense.
Stephanie seems to be a pretty good fighter, she has some good moves. But there's nothing in there that's amazing. Most of her better wins come from her gear, which is definitely good. The gloop, electrical, magnetic, and ice batarangs could be very effective here. She might be able to pull his weapons away with the magnets.
X obviously is willing to go much more all-out in a fight. It's hard to say if he's actually more skilled, I would lean towards not, but he's clearly stronger and probably faster, although not necessarily as agile. But with his strength and his healing factor/durability, I'd say he would win a purely H2H fight.
But, her gear is clearly better than his, and she's got solid aim. And she throws them from pretty close, not just a distance. The main thing is, her gear is mostly based on incap, not damage, so his healing factor doesn't really help him. He has to dodge. And he has some good bullet dodging feats, but I am guessing not enough to dodge everything she's tossing out. So I'd say she has a reasonable chance of winning a majority due to gear. X would certainly win some though.
Finally read all those feats for both characters. I'm leaning towards Steph, X is very formidable, and he obviously has a morals advantage, but Batgirl has some pretty awesome gear, which is kinda overpowered. Nothing X showed placed him as a phenomenal marksman, only a good one. Steph should be capable of hitting him with that variety of batarangs she has.
Next Time on Battle of the Week....
Thanks again for any support and help for these sporadic fun comments. Battle Forums have a lot to offer in terms of discussion, Tournaments, and Challenge a Viner. The only place to discuss dream matches you would never get to discuss anywhere else. Also if there is any artist who like to make some art for these segments, please do PM me. I post regularly in the Artist Show Off for talent want to make a quick sketch for recognition of their skills.
Also big thanks to...
