The only reason m2 won is because they didnt use psi block and fireomega and beam gamma

I was honestly shocked to see how good the stats of the mother 1 party was. Even then, the main advantage mother 2 has is that their psi attacks are just SO much better. Edit I severely underestimated the mother 1 party members, from JUST level 30-40 they learn some of the most overpowered moves I have seen in the whole series, I seriously think the ONLY thing that saved the mother 2 party is that they have rolling hp

Interesting comparison and beautiful way of presenting it to the viewer. I do have a few critiques and questions, though: 1: I understand that you removed PK Fire Ω's instant kill property, one likely reason being that it'd be too easy a win for the Beginnings cast if they could do it. But they don't have a resistance to PK Beam's instant kill property. It should be reasonable for Ana to use one on Poo, then Ness on the following turn if she is still alive. The Earthbound cast's Franklin badge defends against PK Thunder, and PK Beam γ is non-elemental, so they cannot negate it unless you believe it to still be unfair. 2: You also stated in a comment that the Earthbound team has 95% fire resistance from equipment to justify their immunity to PK Fire Ω's instant kill property, but that's not entirely true. From the source I read, Poo only has a 30% fire resistance. This is because the Cloak of kings gives only Type 1 resistances (30% for fire/freeze damage) compared to the Star pendant which gives Type 3 resistances (95% for fire/freeze damage). I noticed that you had the Earthbound cast take 5% of their max HP from Ana's PK Fire Ω- would this mean Poo would take 70% of his max HP (447) as damage from that instead? 3: Why does the Beginnings cast choose to equip H20 pendants? Is PSI Fire more dangerous for them than PSI Freeze and PSI Thunder? 4: Why did Poo use PSI Thunder on the first turn when it's strictly worse than PSI Starstorm? Is that just to extend the battle for dramatics, or to show that the Beginnings' shields can't be broken by PSI Thunder? 5: Paula has a guts rate of 30.2%, but you chose to have her proc it on her first try. Is that for dramatics? 6: Similarly, Teddy has a smash rate of ~30.47% against Paula and landed one on his second try, which is around the 50% mark (~48.34%). He also has a smash rate of ~53.71% against Poo, and as such, landed one on his first try. What you did here seems fairer than the above. 7: Why did the Beginnings' cast prioritise Paula? Poo is a much bigger threat here because he's the biggest damage dealer and primary reviver. As a bonus, his guts rate is very low, so they don't need to worry about landing an extra attack to down him. 8: Lloyd and Jeff don't have access to their gadgets. I assume this is because items are removed from the scenario to reduce the repetitiveness of using healing items over and over again, but that unfairly impacts the two of them because their gameplay revolves around using items and gadgets exclusive to them. It's to the point where all Jeff did was miss twice. I'd suggest allowing Lloyd and Jeff to use their exclusive items if you make a similar video in the future. -A more efficient Jeff build would have him use the heavy bazooka for potential group damage without worrying about accuracy, and the shield killer to get rid of PSI Shield and Powershield. I will note that the Rabbit's foot + Multi bottle rocket combo would be particularly lethal if not for the Beginnings' cast high speed, which forces all 20 rockets to miss against them. (For other readers, the formula for bottle rocket's miss chance is (enemy's speed * 2 - user's speed).) The Rabbit's foot can still be useful on Jeff, though: with it, he can go before Paula, and use the shield killer to combo into Paula's PSI Freeze. While he'd be instantly downed from PK Fire Ω because he has to sacrifice his fire resistance to equip the Rabbit's foot, this opens up another combo in Poo using Healing Ω to revive Jeff before it's his turn. I would ban the use of the Neutralizer for the same reason PK Fire Ω's instant kill property was banned- using it would be too easy a win for the Earthbound cast. -Meanwhile, a more efficient Lloyd build would have him use the sticky machine to bind the remainder of Ness or Poo that Paula did not instant kill with PK Beam γ on the first turn. This status effect cannot be healed with Healing, making it a very effective tool against the Earthbound cast and their rolling HP. He would also freely use the Super Bomb if you didn't give the Earthbound cast immunity to instant death. Since you did, however, he'd be better off using normal attacks most of the time. Super bombs still have value when used to chip a target who has used Guts to survive at 1 HP down to 0, however, because the other Earthbound party members would also take minor damage. (I am aware that multiple sources conflict with each other on what the sticky machine is like. Some say it's like Rope, some say it's like Paralysis. I wrote what I wrote assuming it's like the former. If it's the latter, it'd only be useful against Poo since he has a 50% chance to get hit by it. The others would be immune.) 9: Speaking of rolling HP, while I'm fairly sure it rolls slower in this video than in Earthbound, I like that you did not intentionally draw the video out to make HP finish rolling before making another action. While doing so is optimal for both sides (waiting until any potential Guts effect kicks in on a target before attacking again to down them for the Beginnings cast, and waiting for Lifeup to finish healing for the Earthbound cast), but would make the video much less pleasant to watch. Overall, while I disagree with how the match would go, it's partially because of what I think should be allowed in the match in the first place. After banning the Beginnings' cast's most notable instant kills, allowing Lloyd to use the sticky machine would make the matchup more even. It lets them get around the rolling HP mechanic by disabling Poo, who is arguably the biggest threat to them. Meanwhile, Jeff can be more useful with the heavy bazooka, forcing Ana to stay on healing duty after the first turn or softening her up for Paula to down her with PSI Freeze Ω. Regardless, I found it an entertaining watch. Good job.

Is it weird if when I played this game, I named my Ness “MARIO”, Jeff “DK”, Poo “LINK”, Paula “SAMUS”, Ninten “YOSHI”, Lloyd “KIRBY”, Teddy “FOX”, and Ana “PIKACHU”?

This was very fun to watch!

Ness's Flash can bypass PowerShields because it's a status attack, if it wasn't for that then EB Beginnings would win. EB Beginning's PSI attacks are also pretty weak when it doesn't auto kill things. Earthbound has a huge speed disadvantage though, and they struggle to land physical hits and also Ness's Rockin PSI attack.

Interesting. Now do Mother 2 vs Mother 3

Best Coolest Battle Ever

Super Mario RPG vs EarthBound Beginnings pls

Mother 2 Also wins against Mother 3 too!

we need mother 3 vs earthbound

One this that Earthbound Does and Earthbound Beginnings doesnt have is the rolling hp mechanic even if your hp is gonna roll 0 you can use lifeup to heal yourself up before it drops down to 0

Do paper mario

imagine deltarune vs earthbound

So the Earthbound team is overall stronger?
