Spike VS Tomba

Tomba VS Spike

{~}<*>{~}<*>{~}

Wiz: Technology and science.

Boomstick: Magic and mysticism.

W: The worlds of the supernatural and the scientific have been debated since time immemorial.

B: And these two boys utilize them to combat mischievous mammals.

W: Spike, the primate poacher armed with a plethora of gadgets.

B: And Tomba, the pig-battling primitive outfitted with magical items.

W: We'll compare their armor, weapons, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

{~}<*>{~}<*>{~}

Spike

W: An albino monkey named Spectre, the star attraction of a Monkey Park, somehow managed to get a hold of a Peak-Point helmet, an intelligence boosting set of headgear, and subsequently decided to release all of the other monkeys in a bid for world domination. Breaking into a professors lab and using his time-machine, they invaded a dozen different eras. Someone had to stop them.

B: Enter Spike, a boy with spiky red and yellow hair. He was given the daunting task of capturing all hundred or so monkeys across around a dozen different eras and locales ranging from prehistoric to futuristic, through deep jungles and evil carnivals.

[+=+]

Base Abilities

W: Spike is capable of the physics-defying double-jump, can survive falling from great heights with a small loss of health, withstands frigid temperatures in nothing more than his basic attire, and can survive or just straight up dodge being hit by a race-car or even a goddamn T-Rex!

[+=+]

Armory

W: He didn't do it unarmed though. Equipped with a Stunclub, a Time Net, a Water Mech that shoots nets for capturing monkeys in the water, a monkey-detecting radar, a Dash Hoop, a Slingshot that can fire normal, homing, and explosive pellets, a flying tool named the Dragonfly, an RC Car, and a boxing glove mechanism called the Super Punch for breaking metal boxes, he caught every single monkey and beat Spectre, battling enemies like bees and giant robots along the way.

B: We should also mention that during an escapade in an online game tournament, he was able to use modified variants of most aforementioned gadgets.

W: The Dragonfly could have extended flight time, quicker liftoff, or even melee damage. All other gadgets, besides the Radar and Super Punch, had ice, fire, and electric elemental boosts. Well, except the Water Mech, which only received an ice variant.

B: Let's not forget about his banana boomerang, his ability to dual-wield Stunclubs or make it double-sided, his teleportation boots, and a f*cking Hammer-Of-Dawn-style satellite laser!

W: He also has experience driving boats and tanks which, just like the Water Mech, only received ice options.

B: During that same online adventure, Spike could, once an event, summon one of a number of monkeys to help him.

W: From monkeys that throw bombs and healing items to ones that summon giant robotic fists and heads, Spike can summon one out of thirteen monkeys to aid him in battle once.

[+=+]

Weaknesses

B: Spike hasn't been shown to have any specific weaknesses, but he does receive damage if he falls from too high up without using his Dragonfly. However, he normally gets up and continues his adventure.

{~}<*>{~}<*>{~}

Tomba

B: Wiz, have you ever had an army of evil, bi-pedal pigs steal your golden bracelet handed down to you by your grandfather, or kidnap your girlfriend?

W: What? No. Have you?

B: Nope, but Tomba has. For what purpose, you may ask? World domination.

W: For some reason, the leaders of the Evil Pigs needed gold for a spell, thus stealing Tomba's bracelet. When they kidnapped Tomba's girlfriend, they were after her amulet which was a gift from Tomba.

B: So naturally he journeyed to retrieve them, saving the world in the process.

[+=+]

Base Abilities

W: Tomba may not look like much, but he is incredibly athletic and strong, able to accomplish what most fully-grown men can't.

B: He's able to swing on branches, climb vines and some walls, and is even agile and strong enough to lift and throw foes much bigger than himself while on top of them. Even if they're not touching the ground!

W: He knows an ability called the Animal Dash, in which he gets down on all fours and runs like an animal. Hence the name.

[+=+]

Armory

B: In his quests to retrieve what was stolen from him, he collected an impressive arsenal of weapons, apparel, and useful objects to aid in his journey.

W: To begin with, he has his classic blackjack, a spiked metal ball and chain. He also has a Grapple, a simple spike he uses to swing from things. In addition, he obtained a Doka Pin/GrappleJack which is essentially a combination of the aforementioned tools, but with a devastating damage upgrade.

B: Then there are his boomerangs, of which he has 5 variants. The first 3 are Wooden, Stone, and Iron which increase in damage. He also has Ice and Glacier variants which, as well as being stronger, can extinguish fire, and chill enemies.

W: Finally, he bears 3 hammers. The regular Hammer, and the Fire and Torch Hammers. The latter 2 increase in damage, burn enemies, and melt ice. The Torch Hammer even allows Tomba to destroy stone blocks. He does have another weapon called the Pig Ball, but...

B: But its useless against anything that's not a pig.

W: Right. However, he does have outfits and other inventory items that benefit him greatly.

B: Like his pants, which he has 6 pairs of.

W: His normal green pants are standard and are mainly for decency.

B: Then there are his Jumping, Dashing, and Flash pants, which each improve his jumping and running abilities more than the last.

W: His other 2 pairs are Fast and Turbo pants which act just like the aforementioned pairs.

B: Then he has his Bird Clothes which let him glide for a short burst for extra distance on his jumps.

W: A far improved concept to his Bird Clothes is his Flying Squirrel Suit which allows extended flight as well as keeping him warm in cold climates.

B: He also carries around with him a Pig Suit. Yes, he can dress like a pig. It allows him to communicate with the good pigs in Circus Village, slows his descent when he jumps, grants him a butt-slam ability, and was later upgraded with the ability to swim.

W: But best of all, upon defeating Evil Pig bosses, he received the robes of each which grant him different magical abilities.

B: The Earth Pig Robe, which can be worn while miniaturized, lets him summon stalactites out of nowhere to crush nearby enemies. The Fire Pig Robe lights a flame in nearby enemies, burning them to a crisp. The Water Pig Robe, although originally belonging to a female pig, fits Tomba perfectly and obliterates enemies with a powerful stream of water.

W: The Ice Pig Robe turns enemies into ice-pop treats.

B: Wait, seriously?

W: Seriously.

B: Sweet.

W: ...I hate you. Finally there is the Ghost Pig Robe, which siphons the very life-force out of nearby enemies to replenish his health.

B: F*cking badass!

W: We haven't even begun listing non-apparel items!

B: Such as the Taboo Fruit, which enters Tomba into a constant state of Animal Dashing.

W: He can also use the Minitta Mushroom which, as the name implies, turns him tiny.

W: Or 3 magical gems that grant him different abilities.

B: The Red and Blue gems surround him in fire and water, respectively, that kill enemies that get too close.

W: Finally, the Green gem allows Tomba to boost himself high into the air on a gust of wind.

B: Some of his most useful items, though, are his Mermaid Scale, and his Cold and Hot Powders.

W: The former of which protects him from taking damage when he falls in water without his Pig Suit. The powders grant him complete immunity to ice and fire damage.

B: His two most incredibly awesome, but unfair, items are the Black Pig Bag and the Golden Powder.

W: The Black Pig Bag makes Tomba's mana supply unlimited, and the Golden Powder grants him total invulnerability. We won't be giving him those.

[+=+]

Weaknesses

B: As strong and capable as Tomba is, he's not very smart.

W: You see, during his first adventure, one of the old Wise Men taught him how to swim. When his next adventure rolled around, he kinda just...forgot.

B: But he reached the island his girlfriend was brought to by swimming there, right?

W: Err...yeah.

B: He even jumps back into the ocean at the end WITHOUT the Swimming Pig Suit, right?

W: You're right. It doesn't make much sense. Maybe the Evil Water Pig cursed the waters of the region?

B: Or maybe video-game logic is bullsh*t!

W: That too.

{~}<*>{~}<*>{~}

Interlude

W: Alright, the combatants are set! It's time to settle this debate once and for all!

B: For this battle, to make it interesting, we're giving them the ability to switch weapons on the fly.

W: Same with their outfits.

B: It's time for a Death Battle!
