Talk:Wario vs Pete/@comment-25936854-20160323053104

If I had to guess, I'd say the writer of this will probably have Wario win.

Personally, I'm rooting for Pete, and I hope that he's not shown as too much of a pushover. He's actually proven to be very formidable sometimes.

In my opinion, Pete is a very interesting character, and the main reason for this is his versatility. He's had all sorts of roles, giving him numerous degrees of aptitude. In some incarnations he's one of the stupidest characters in the Disney multiverse, while in others, he is among the most intelligent and crafty. In strength, he has ranged from being one of the weakest Disney characters to one of the strongest; in combat ability he's ranged from barely able to do more than give a minute shove, to being a brilliant and brutal swordsman; he's been shown ranging from unable to take even one punch, to being able to tank punches from even bigger and stronger characters than himself (and I could swear I have what I think is a faint memory of him biting a cannon ball out of the air, chewing it up with his bare teeth, and spitting it back at the ship that launched it); He's been shown ranging from a completely hopeless coward who panics in the face of danger to keeping a cool and level head and charging bravely into hopelessly outnumbered battles; and so on.

On and on it goes; the versatility of Pete's character means that, in my opinion at least, it would be best to decide which portrayals of Pete you're going to pick from while writing this. In my opinion, if Pete gets here the best of everything he's had- the smartest he's been, the most skillful he's been, the most durable, and so on- then Pete should have a darn good chance of getting through this one; even if the author(s) for this decide that Wario is the winner, I'd say that Pete- again, if he's in his prime- should at the very least give Wario a run for his money (cue rimshot).

I apologize for my little ramble here. I hope it proves of use, and I apologize if it doesn't.
