Talk:Labrys vs Penny Polendina/@comment-26558142-20160303202409

Interesting match. To be honest, was thinking of doing it myself, but since its now in your hands, I wish you good luck with it.

For the winner:

I can't say who would win for sure. Problem is, I don't see much from Labrys potential outside from gameplay. If we scale her to the other cast of the Persona-Series, I think she could take this. Given that nearly all of the cast has at least mountain level durability, reaction time to actual lightning and the persona can destroy houses with their attacks. Given that in Ultimax the Shadow versions are supposed to be on par with the originals, it could mean Labrys in on the same powerlevel.

For Penny I can't say much either. Yes, she may be stronger according to the feat with the helicopter in season 1, but at the same time less durable once her aura runs out (Labrys smashed robots from her generation with one slash in a cutscene, and if the powerscaling applies, that means something). Also Labrys has more experience, given that all the knowlegde of the deafeted models were uploaded into her.

For weaponry, the puppet blades may be powerful, but can be dogded. Labrys axe on the other hand gets stronger with every attack, but can be blocked (seen by Aigis and Yosuke in the Arena Manga). So I don't want to give an edge to any fighter.

All in all I would say Labrys has the edge in close quarter, while Penny is better in long range battles. And given the enemys they have faced, I would also go with Labrys. Yeah, Penny came to the finale of the tournament, and some fighters there were beasts, but Labrys could hold her own against enemys like Elizabeth (questionable however, if she was serious) even without her persona, and Hi-No-Kagutsuchi. Personal, I scale both higher than Pennys enemys, but I may be mistaken in that point.

This doesn't include Shadow Labrys. Does she count as outside help? Since she actually uses Labrys body and is just another side of her, this would also be an important question, if she is included. That would give Labrys not only a more brutal and ruthless personality, but also a complete new persona with new moves, making it harder for Penny to keep up.

Well, this is my point of view on this battle. Let's see, what you think.
