Talk:Reaper VS Scout/@comment-37960362-20200206201113

Despite of him being overly edgy, I actually sort of like Reaper, however I still firmly believe that Scout takes this quite handily.

Like, I get that Reaper's got the whole regeneration stuff going for him, but it won't really secure him a victory here even if it is combat applicable (I am not entirely sure about that) - Scout's a far more capable fighter that one would think at first and can easily knock him out.

Physically, Scout's got him outdone easily. Reaper's able to tussle with Soldier: 76, whom in return is capable of easily taking down several goons and tanked a pretty big explosion in the "Hero" trailer (though it did leave him injured). Scout however, tanked four rockets in Meet the Medic whilst already being heavily injured. Seeing how he's able to knock out a bear with a single strike with a femur bone and casually send any of the mercs- that includes Heavy with his 150kg minigun- flying for 82 feet, it's safe to say that he outclasses Reaper in that regard. Like seriously, that puts him above most of Overwatch- probably only discluding Doomfist and characters that are comparable to him - and even that's arguable.

Credit where it's due, Reaper's already got experience with bullet timers, so he should be capable of reacting to Scout- even though I consider him to be faster than Tracer and 76, due to how casually he dodged and outran the Sentry Fire in Meet the Scout.

Mentally, I'd give it to Scout as well. Despite his cocky and arrogant appearance, Scout has repeatedly proven that he is surprisingly combat smart. Most of the times when he gets into a serious situation, he stops boasting and concentrates solely on the fight. He has also shown that he is great at using the environment to his advantage - a prime example of that would be his fight against BLU Heavy in Meet the Scout.

If you decide to give Scout access to his whole arsenal, then Reaper has even less of a chance. Despite the fact that most of his weapons have negative effects as well, it'd result in him being far too versatile for Reaper to do anything. And if you were to include the Spellbook and the Power Up Canteen... oh boy… poor Reyes.

So yeah; rooting and betting Scout.

On a side note, I am really looking forward to this - I'd imagine that you could get some very neat choreography out of the fight section.
