No I'd agree with your assessment, but I'd also note the difference in circumstances. Godzilla Heisei knocked out Rodan Heisei in their first engagement while Fire Rodan was killed, nearly, by the Plasma Grenade. So with this context, I don't think Megalon can kill Rodan Heisei with his lightning, but I do think Mothra's stinger can skewer Rodan Heisei if he's not careful or he can be knocked out by an unexpected series of blows.Coobzilla03 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 10:42 am If possible Greyshot, what's your opinion on the Rodan/Fire Rodan thing? Since it's the exact same creature with just a beam, logically he wouldn't be any more or less durable. King Kong '62, did he become more durable after getting shocked? I don't think so.
So basically, its a flying tank vs. 1 equally fast and tenacious moth while the other is far deadlier, more agile but 1/3 the speed.
And I agree with your points. Gabara is definitely not useless. Just pointing out my lack of confidence in his success if he fought Sanda 1v1, but luckily, your team has a numbers advantage to help that. Also, Goliath will need to use his horn lightning once, and then Mothra will need to throw up a cloud and then Goliath has to use it again. Questions to ask in this scenario would be:Coobzilla03 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 10:42 am To go back at bat for my boys Goliath and Gabara:
Gabara was far from defeated by Minilla's hands alone. Gabara got sent flying who knows how far by Minilla taking advantage of a see-saw. He held his own against Godzilla who awhile in melee combat and only admitted defeat after getting judo thrown by Godzilla - even then he wasn't killed.
Goliath dominated Daigoro in both their fights. Daigoro was doing squat in hand-to-hand, and only defeated him by blowing up Goliath's horn - a weakness he was told about by humans. The enemy's best counter to him, Mothra's reflective scales, depend on Mothra specifically going to Goliath and coating him. Mothra wouldn't know about that power until he uses it at least once.
1) Who wins the air battle? Rodan Heisei & Mothra Showa or Mothra Legendary, Mothra SOS/FW & Kamacuras (M). If the first team, then this scenario is pointless.
2) Will Goliath be tempted to use his lightning more than once in this larger engagement?
3) Will the Shobijin or Mothra recognize the opportunity, just like in SOS or FW?
4) Unable to reach Mothra, will Goliath be tempted to use his lightning horn?
5) Finally, would that explosion kill Goliath?
Lots of questions.
