Fine, I'll bite:
The only three valid choices, are the anon from Sarge's story where he gains random superpowers, Janitor anon, master of comfyness and beardy anon, the invincible, who's pretty much the saitama of anons
Let's compare the facts;

Superpowered anon:
-Fought Nightmare moon and defeated her in a duel of pure strength, due to him gaining several powers at once, including the one to cause localised earthquakes (a la whitebeard from one piece)
-travelled through the seven circles of hell
-Fucked both Celestia and Luna on the same day, the day he met them

Janitor anon:
-Defeated 4 master ninja ponies alone, only armed with a broom
-befriended a demon sommoned to kill him and played poker every week with him after that
-died and came back. He managed to cause an uproar in the reaper organisation in his way toward resurrection by organising a protest with various reapers exploited by those damn bureaucrats

Beardy anon:
-can lift a tree with one hand and pretty much no effort, and possess apparently unlimited strenght
-spells and projectiles like arrows bounce off him without any effect
-Nothing ever managed to actually stop him, or even slow him for that matters
-He ejaculated so hard that his sperm pierced the wing of a passing dragon

Here's Sarge's pastebin, pretty much everything in it is a part of /mlp/'s history

here:http://pastebin.com/GxstF3wD

Well that depends. What skills are you looking at? I know of many Anons by one writer in particular that exhibit proficiency in many fields from intellect to raw strength.
>>
>>29561557

The "Bros in Equestria" guys where probably the most durable. They were completely immune to magic and did not age. They ended up outliving Celestia and Luna.

King Anon is pretty OP as far as non-powered fighters go. He's a highly skilled warrior with all weapons as well as hand-to-hand. He's gone toe to toe with whole armies, giants, Celestia herself, and even drove a race of undefeated and unbeatable guardians to extinction in one fight. He's got the willpower to stay on his feet after one hell of a beating too, not to mention the quality of armor a king would have at his disposal. If you're looking for raw power, Anon from Moblight by the same author is insanely strong and probably just as skilled of a fighter.

>>29561839
well, to be fair, pencil's anon will only get one of the pies in the end (which, spoiler alert, he will not because pencil will want to keep his audience and have his unexpected grand reveal which will ruin the series. If he doesn't, then he'll get my respect)
As for beardy anon, I think that most ponies were actually terrified of him, with the exception of Celestia and Lyra who got into a journey in order to find the seed that anon shot into the sky & get pregnant with it

Here's the Anons from any story I liked that I thought would have anything worth bringing to the table in a fight. I've read a lot of green in my day, but not many Anons have strayed from anything but a doughy human with forced sex appeal. Only a few could be real fighters and even less have really stood out as warriors.
>>
>>29561864

He'll chose a pie for the ending. Im already suspecting that it's Limestone. The audience will love it. And hell, Pinkie and Marble hasn't had their chance to express themself to Anon, so this'll go on for a while.

It's also one of sarge's greens, unfortunately it's pretty long and I haven't finished it

I would re-nominate the Steel Sanctuary anon (from Technology isn't Magic, mentioned above).

He's just a human with genetically enhanced intelligence and lifespan, but he hooked up his brain to all his machines so they're basically extensions of him. He's also got at least two different biological brains, for backup.

This was my answer to the question. Ya beat me
>>
While we don't get to see much of him fighting, Prince Anon from Marital Problems seems like a fairly strong Anon. At least as far as non-OP Anons go.

He's described as a tournament fighter, alchemist, and has at least some ability to access Discord-styled "Chaos Magic." He's also skilled at both bow and sword, with enchanted weapons and armor.

Plus, he's bonded to Sunbutt and has some access to her magic to sustain himself, based on what little we know. That's gotta add to durability.
>>
>>29562320
>>29562322
>Lich Anon
Was a series of one-shots from different people about Anon as a lich or Equestria's new god of death. It didn't really go beyond shape changing, immortality or being able to pass freely between the mortal realm and the afterlife. Also one based off the "GET IN THE BAG" reaper.

There are many instances of Anon rising from the dead even not as a lich, so immortal Anon isn't an uncommon green to see, but I don't have any links for you without digging through the archives.

>Blood Anon
>http://pastebin.com/Y3s426wP
Was pretty much a Ragnarok clone from Soul Eater. Part of Twilight's blood stream, could shapeshift and stretch to different sizes, grow wings, screech loudly, break the sonic barrier, etc. Written by Biscotti.

>/r9k/ Anon
Is a series of one-shots not of one thread, but just made whenever. I figured I'd mention him as a potential candidate since every time someone writes 'an' /r9k/ anon, it usually involves him screeching or tipping his fedora until random bouts of chaos and uncontrolled weather or earthquakes happen because of it. He can create endless torrents of spaghetti and diarrhea shit.

>Captain Planet Anon
>http://pastebin.com/n6LtP3k0
From the Prison generals. He became one with Gaia. Didn't really touch on it much besides having the powers of all the elements and being able to phase through the earth and pop out at any destination at will. Written by Mythd.
>>
>>29562510
>Bully Anon
>http://pastebin.com/kc4SEc6u
Probably the weakest suggestion. It was a short EQG story where an edgelord bully Anon gets his hands on the Dazzlings' crystals, and with all three and his pure edgy rage, manages to stop the rainbow of destruction from the elements of harmony from harming him. Written by Klimino.

>Cold Edge
>http://pastebin.com/u/Uh-hmmm (in parts)
One of many from the Edge general, he became an edgy OC pony with ice powers, dimension tearing powers, with cthulhu as a dad or some shit and princesses of varying degrees of horrific vying for his attention. Written by Uh-hmmm.

Although just about any Anon from that general could do. There was a Terminator Anon, too, but the pastebin is now empty.

>Succubus Anon
Any one from the general, really. All the powers of hell at his hooves and an endless libido. One of them he was queen of the underworld or something.

>Frying Pan Anon
I don't think I ever finished this. All I remember is what I briefly described him as. I want to say it was written by PlaeNarrator, but his pastebin his gone and he disappeared from the face of the earth.

These are all just suggestions from random greens I've read where Anon has in one case or another wielded superpowers that could be decent enough to use in a combat royale.
>>
>>29562516
>Terminator Anon
You mean Mechanon that runs on Windows XP who was tasked with destroying MLP but instead became it?
>>
>>29562522
Oh no, not that one. But that is a good suggestion.

No, it was a robo pony Anon with sharp metal wings, missiles and shit, ate oil and scrap. The Edge general is years old now.

That reminds me of Darth Vader anon. Literally Darth Vader.

Also, does anybody have links to Lord Anon mentioned by >>29561896 and beardy anon?
>>
>>29561896
Really depends on the thread. /aie/ has had numerous stories, many of which featured various warrior-ish anons but few (if any) of them are known outside of the thread and very few were ever finished. There was also a series of space-future-ponies threads, some of which had soldier-ey Anons.

For instance, I vaguely remember a green about a mechsuit anon looking to industrialize Equestria - he defeated Twilight in a duel, and was able to stave off Celestia long enough to withdraw. But, it was a oneshot and never had a home thread.

>>29561896

>70 years ago, a population of humans found themselves teleported outside the gates of Equestria. Celestia sensed great discord in their hearts and had her guards go to wipe them out. Instead of extinction, the humans were gathered and led by one among them. Under the lead of Incognito, the humans pushed back Equestria's forces and escaped to the Frozen North, where there too they had to fight and claim land from the Frost Giants. Time passed, and as the humans flourished, Incognito grew old. Soon, his son took the throne as King Anonymous, leader of the humans.
>King Anon is a leader first, but a soldier at heart. He knows his place is on the battlefield, giving bravery to his men with his mere presence.
>He has no powers to speak of, but has trained long and hard to make up for that and become the greatest specimen humanity has to offer.
>Against giants, minotaurs, or even the great princess herself, King Anon's wide and varied skill set has brought him many victories.
>He is most adept with the sword and demonstrates flawless skill in every discipline.
>Even outside of that particular arm, he feels at home with the bow, is a crack-shot with any grade of firearm, and can skillfully wield any other weapon given to him.
>Without a weapon, he is just as deadly. Anon's hand-to-hand combat skills are unmatched in his world. Or, as it usually ended up, hand-to-paw/hoof/talon.
>Anon also shows great resilience to both physical and mental trauma.
>>
>>29565458
>During the great battle of the temple, in which Anon and his comrade were ambushed by the leaders of the four opposing nations, his friend perished. In a fury, he not only eliminated those leaders, but also the horde of man-eating bug creatures flooding the room and the so far undefeated Lammasu, a terrible race of lion-like beings known for shredding to pieces any living thing they deem violent.
>The result was the fall of three kingdoms and the utter extinction of the Lammasu.
>In that battle, Anon also suffered a grave wound in his leg. Since then, it has caused constant pain which eventually drives him to alcoholism to cope with it.
>In following battles, that leg was a target for his opponents. A strike would cripple him for the time it took to recollect himself.
>This is coupled with the year-long mental assault Luna threw, forcing him to relive the ambush and his friend’s death every night through vivid and detailed nightmares.
>Through all the nightmares, beatings, burnings, and even impalement, his dedication to his people and his father’s legacy drove him on.
>Despite being a mere human, the “Mad King” is easily one of the deadliest beings in Equestria. This skilled soldier is not someone you would want against you. The world tried that once and it didn’t work out so well for them.

>Equestria Conman Anon. What three words could better define selfishness?
>Anon is a man with no skills and no redeemable qualities. What he does have is a wit as quick as a whip and a tongue sharper than a knife.
>While stumbling around his basement one day, Anon discovered a portal to a faraway land.
>This land was filled with magic, ponies, and riches to be exploited.
>With his clever mind, Anon pulled the biggest con of all.
>The ponies of Equestria quickly fell in love with him and threw everything they had at him.
>From outside of his house, he suddenly began producing vast amounts of gold, lumber, and oil.
>He also got his hands on a fancy army of stone warriors programed to follow his exact command.
>What could possibly go wrong?
>Despite all his brainpower, Anon couldn’t predict that his rock army would attack the mailman and draw the attention of the government.
>Before he knew it, his house was swarmed with soldiers and guns, leaving him with no other option than to pull another fast one and get himself a forcefield generator off some pony.
>Conman Anon currently sits in his house, rich beyond his wildest dreams and protected with a powerful magical army of stone monsters, with access to a whole realm full of ponies that adore him.

>It comes equipped with more weapons than a sci-fi novel, is able to scan and display any map of the world, store and recall any information read or heard, record conversations, set reminders, and even comes with an onboard A.I. affectionately named Jahvis.
>Iron Manon is just as if not more self centered than Conman Anon and sees no issue with brutally beating people for so much as scratching the paint on his armor.
>In fact, this narcissism runs so deep that he became a target for Chrysalis, who deemed his intense love for himself to be so strong and pure that he alone could power her army.
>With his armor shut down, Iron Manon can still move albeit slowly and with great effort. However, movement is all he can do.
>When the powersource of his armor is off, everything else goes with it. No weapons, no maps or grids, and no Jahvis.
>Jahvis has proven absolutely crucial to the continued living of Iron Manon. Without its guiding voice, he has gotten himself into quite a few messes, one of which almost took his life.
>Jahvis is also capable of controlling the armor itself, independent of Anon’s command, and has done so on occasion to save him from a horde of changelings.
>Anon’s love for himself is challenged only by his love for his armor, which is why whenever it is damaged or destroyed, he is right back in the cave making a new suit.
>The depths of this man’s insanity is unknown. Whatever the situation calls for, it’s a safe bet that with enough time, he could have a suit ready for it.

The problem with him is that his power depends entirely on the arena. If he's away from home he's just some guy with a huge head. If the fight is taking place in the sanctuary itself you're going to have to rip the whole thing apart before you even find him.

He threw a Cross bolt like a dart and killed eleven assasins with it, and when he threw it, he bounced the bolt off a wall or a statue, it made sparks and he leaned in and lit a cigar from it

>All of this played a major part in his life, when a strange alien artifact scanned him and granted him the power of digits through a perfect hectogon, a hundred-sided die
>He gained the ability to receive various powers, determined by his rolls, each number giving him access to a new one
>After a long conflict with other artefact wielders at Canterlot High, Anon unfortunately managed to catch the attention of Discord, which sailed through the galaxy on a massive warship, bent on destroying the last remnants of the artifacts
>While anon is not that much of a fighter per se, his progress in the span of only two years is astounding
>His powers vary wildly, from the ability to run faster than lightning to the power to rewind time, and his powerful imagination helped him take advantage of his gift, often in an unexpected manner
>despite him being in theory a normal human, anon has proven time and time again that his wide range of powers can overcome any obstacle, as long as luck is on his side

Well he might have gotten his ass handed to him, but he still came out on top both times[\spoiler]. At least as far as the story has progressed so far. Whether he will continue holding up in the future remains to be seen, but I'm still putting my money on him.

It kinda reminded me of samson in the jew mythos
Guy gets herculean strength because of his hair. The neighboring kingdom sends a woman to seduce this information out of him, have him shaved and he is then blinded and kept as a slave. But one day, they forget to shave him again and he goes berserk and bring the whole house/temple/mansion down with him in a fit of holy (?) rage & retribution

>>29569422
I wish to apologize in advance. I had no idea what I was doing when I started writing that thing, and it shows.
>>
My ancient and badly written story from the early AiE threads that no one cares about or remembers had a pretty strong Anon. He was a mad scientist who had enhanced his body to superhuman levels with gene mods and cybernetic augmentations. Plus he could build super-advanced weaponry out of materials just lying around and power them with his internal reserves. Honestly, in retrospect, his level of power was one of my least favorite elements of the series as a whole. But I'd say he's at least a contender in this fight.

>>29559567
probably that one green where anon is a terminator
>>
>>29570620
Oh and he also survives and rapidly recovers from being in a massive explosion and having most of his skin melted off.
Yeah.
>>
>>29570410
I honestly think that even with some of the super OP Anons mentioned in this thread, King Anon is one of the safest bets to make in a fight. I just can't see him losing.
>>
>>29570545
He gets his strength through a Nazarene vow, which included but was not limited to cutting his hair.
>>
>>29570874
to be fair, beardy anon is just way to powerful, he could probably win against all the other anons put together
I mean, what can you do to someone who's basically opm with an invulerability to magic. He'll just win against anything because that's basically the only thing he does
Now, if we were to judge by their ability to cause mayhem, I'd put my bet on anon brain in a vat first, and Janitor anon second

>>29563265
So I took the liberty of throwing the names of some frequently mentioned Anons (except for Beardy for obvious reasons) into a randomizer to come up with the order of the fight. I'm actualyl really surprised with how fitting these matches are.
>Robot vs robosuit
>Mystic monkey magic vs mystic space magic
>2 soldiers written by Sea Urchin
>Conman vs accidental conman
Now I ask you if this is fine and dandy or if there are other Anons that should have made it on in place of others?
>>
>>29571197
although I'd argue that superpower anon is worth a place in the top 8, he doesn't really fit anywhere and those 4 pairs actually really work well together
>>
>>29571197
>>29571268
So these tournament drafts are going to be theme based? 'Cause I like that.
There could be one for the warriors, the magic users, the robots, the espers, and so on...
>>
>>29571285
>theme based
That does sound better. It'd be kind of unfair to put a fighter up against a mage. And then after the strongest of each category is decided, let the overlaps fight? Who would go into each section?
>Warrior
>Magic User
>Strategist
>Robotic
>Esper
>>
>>29571197
I'd say this is the best we can do with the Anons that were most frequently mentioned.

The real questions is, who's gonna write the green?
>>
>>29571333
>Incoming a tournament draft of posible writefags?
>>
>>29571370
I think it'd be better if anyone could write. Maybe we have a strawpoll to decide the winner of each match and then people have fun writing based on that

I made one right now. IDK he's pretty normal, this is a personal self-insert tho.

>You are Anonymous.
>Actually, make that Colonel Anonymous, because you were the commander of SEAL Team 6 back on Earth.
>Not even Lt. Colonel, bro! Full bull!
>You are stunningly handsome.
>Every day when you go outside you are assaulted by waves of female ponies who try to ask you on dates, seduce you, or simply marry you on the spot.
>But you know your own value, and you cast their feeble attempts aside.
>A lesser man would take them all as brides simultaneously, and create the greatest harem ever known to Man or Pony. But you are not a lesser man.
>Instead, you hold out, convinced in the prospects you’ll have down the road with your charisma.
>Did I mention you’re charismatic? Oh yeah, you’re the new toast of the town. You’re a social butterfly, always invited and always the center of attention at every party, event, and ceremony in Ponyville.
>You make your living being Princess Twilight’s personal assistant, bodyguard, royal envoy, henchman, lover (when you feel like it), and co-plotter to usurp the throne.
>It’s all part time because you only do those activities when and if you feel like it.
>She’s too in awe of you to demand otherwise.
>Today, you walk through the street practicing your magic.
>That’s right, magic! You’re also one of Equestria’s most powerful magic wielders, on par with Discord, Celestia, or any other eternal being.
>That’s only with your right hand, though. With your left, you use your incredibly powerful brain to add up finances and balance the entire country’s budget in one go.
>It’s a big job, and has taken you about ten minutes. Thankfully, it’s almost done so you can move on to other, more important tasks.
>That’s right! Brunch with Twilight, all of her friends, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and basically every other well-known figure in Equestria.
>>
>>29572413
>They’re all here for you, of course. Even Pinkie Pie isn’t as good at making friends as you are.
>After all, what’s not to love? Your paintings, symphonies, novels, plays, sculptures, frescoes, and other works of art have all become centers of Equestrian culture.
>You’ve also introduced at least three dozen genres of music, half of them entirely your own design.
>You simply kick down the door, using your massive muscled frame just how God intended. You know there’s a God: He personally told you how awesome you are.
>If you ever die, you get to kick demon ass in the afterlife.
>You walk in, flex your muscles, then deadlift 650 lbs with one hand. No point in trying anything hard today, just doing a quick showoff without breaking a sweat.
>Two mares in the restaurant immediately swoon and fall over. You wink, and two more follow, including Maud Pie.
>To start off the conversation, you choose a topic their feeble minds should be able to understand.
>A simple talk about theoretical particle physics, and how the Standard Model integrates with magic now that you’ve realized the Higgs Boson doesn’t exist in this universe.
>You found that out with the particle accelerator you made out of ceramic flower pots in your basement.
>They had to create the Nobel Prize specifically to give it to you that year.
>You start telling them stories of your past on Earth, all of them true.
>While being a Special Forces soldier full-time, you were also a professional NBA player, world-class tennis star, NFL quarterback with five consecutive Super Bowls under your belt, and a two-time MMA world champion.
>You’d only taken up MMA in the last two years, unfortunately, so your legacy was never thoroughly cemented.
>They tried to elect you President three times in the span of four years, but you declined the offer each time out of respect for the law, which you always followed. By law you have to be 40 to be President, but you’re only 25.
>>
>>29572417
>Instead, you used your fame to become a male model. Every woman on earth, and now in Equestria, wanted to see your face on literally everything.
>There are dozens of murals of your likeness across Equestria, and more spring up each day.
>As you leave the restaurant, you’re sadly reminded that only one pony in your life was missing. The one pony you wanted to see most.
>The only one who didn’t make it very clear they would marry you in a heartbeat: your waifu.
>Alas, your heart was broken to discover your one true love unnoticing of you.
>She was a friend, of course, but you could never secure her heart.
>Today, that would all change.
>For, as you discover upon reaching her house, she has been kidnapped by an evil dragon!
>And a real dragon, not like that Spike fellow that drew comic books about you.
>So you gathered a sword, armor, and the M16 tactical assault rifle with extended clips and telescopic side-mounted scope you brought with you from earth.
>And, like, a half-dozen or so of the townsfolk you couldn’t dissuade from coming with you.
>As expected, they all fell quickly. You, however, calmly pulled out your Tactical M9 Assault Knife and threw it with the deft and experience of a reincarnated Caesar, felling the beast in one blow.
>Your waifu, thoroughly impressed, greeted you with a kiss on the lips.
>Finally content, you ripped a section of bark off a nearby tree and surfed down the side of the mountain, with your waifu in your arms.
>You didn’t even do a kickflip.
>Thank you God, for making Anonymous humble.
>And awesome. Yeah, you’re awesome. Say it one more time? Okay, you’re awesome.
>Yeah.

>>29573646
It's a parody of Anon stories with unrealistically strong Anons. The entire concept of the character is at least closely tied to self-inserts, and I don't like it when these are horrendously unreqlistic in how Anon functions and other characters act (I'm looking at you RGRE and Royal Guard Mare)
>>
>>29561101
Didn't he take a sonic rainboom to the face?
>>
>>29574162
I don't think an Anonymous being unrealistically strong is a bad thing. It's how they're written and how the story flows that makes it or breaks it. Moblight Anon is a super soldier but I like him fine. I even consider Moblight to be one of the best greens produced on /mlp/.

>There are legends about you.
>They say you defeated assassins, monstrous creatures and ghosts.
>They say you walked unscathed through the jaws of death.
>Some even say you laid low Satan himself.
>There are whispers that you're a member of the Equestrian Intelligence Agency, or perhaps one of Luna's elusive Night's Watch.
>Certain ponies even believe you're a puppetmaster, manipulating the princesses to do your bidding all while posing as a humble janitor.
>Those last ones in particular always make you want to laugh. But instead you give them a big wink.
>Good for the rumour mill, give them a little-
>Shit.
>You're getting sidetracked
>The point is, you're pretty much the greatest person that's ever lived, ever.
>In your own humble opinion, of course, but there are a fair few powerful entities which also believe something like that.
"I won't do it."
>Time to be resolute in the face of an enemy that even you doubt you could best
>Staff Keeper, the head of the Canterlot Castle's staff
>No matter how terrifying she may be, you've stood up to worse and come through suspiciously unscathed.
>Her nostrils flare in shock, and her eyes bore a hole into your soul.
>She looks pretty mad.
>But you don't care.
>Not at all, you totally don't care.
>To show how much you don't care, you give a strangled yelp and cower slightly.
>In fact, come to think of it, maybe you actually /do/ want to work overtime this weekend.
>Yeah. It'll be fun, cleaning out the old dungeons. Because you want to. And aren't scared of Staff Keeper. At all.
>You clear your throat nervously
"Ah, I meant to say I won't let you down. By not doing it."
>Your boss scrutinises you for another second
"Because I'm all about being a good employee, yes siree."
>You realise that last bit rhymed, and wiggle your eyebrows at the mare as though it was intentional.
>She gives a 'humph'
>"Very well. Follow me, then."
>Perfect, you think as she leads you to the ancient, decrepit dungeons. You've established your dominance.
>>
>>29575277
>Stepping into the abandoned rooms, you're pleasantly surprised to see they're in a reasonably good condition
>Rusty, dusty and musty they may be, but it's not the collapsed shithole you were expecting
>Still, you're not sure why this needs cleaning. It's deep in the labyrinthine basements of the castle. No one ever comes down here but you. And cultists. And various ooze monsters. And, well, plenty of things come or live down here, but none of them are really any good.
>Besides, Equestria doesn't torture anyone
"Why does this need to be cleaned? It's not on the usual list of duties."
>Staff Keeper nods
>"It's a special request from an anonymous source."
>Oh
"Kinky sex dungeon for Luna?"
>Staff Keeper's face remains stoically unmoved
>"It was anonymous. I don't know who requested this or why."
"But it's a kinky sex dungeon for Luna, right?"
>Staff Keeper sighs
>"I think deep down, we both know that."
>Shit, that reminds you
"Did you get my note about the cerebrospinal fluid?"
>She nods
>"The lino's on its way. Her carpets will be replaced next Tuesday."
>You fistpump. That should make the various bodily fluids that appear in her room easier to clean.
"Well, I'll get started on this."
>You reach into your overall, pulling out your superweapon. A flask of magical cleaning... liquid. Twilight made you it after you helped her cowgirl friend with that thing.
>A couple of squirts of this into the room and BAM. It's so potent, the rust will practically fall off the bars and manacles. All you'll have to do is sweep up, and you can be done in an hour-
>"Oh, no you don't, Anon."
>You blink at Staff Keeper
>"This is an enclosed area. The fumes from that will knock you out."
"What!? It's fine, I'll hold my breath and-"
>"Nope. Remember the nursery?"
"Those children all walked again! And the doctor said the brain damage would only be temporary!"
>Staff Keeper raises an eyebrow
>"Anon?"
>You groan
"Fine! I won't use the useful, safe bleach."
>She smiles tightly
>"Good."
>>
>>29575432
>She turns and marches out of the room.
>You glance around at the rusty chains, the dusty furniture, the mouldy walls
>Eh, fuck it. You'll use the cleaning fluid. You have big lungs
>Big adult lungs. You'll be fine.
>Should probably wait an hour or so until Staff Keeper leaves though. Don't want to get caught being naughty.
>You take a folding chair from your janitor's cart and make yourself comfortable.
>After a nap, you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to clean
>You take a deep breath, filling your lungs with non-carcinogenic air before uncorking your super-bleach
>Flicking a few drops into the room, you're suddenly buffeted by magical cleaning energies
>Your ears ring from the din as the winds swirl around the room.
>They'll mostly dissipate within a minute or two, so you begin to make your way to the door, intending to wait in the corridor.
>Should probably have thought this through more.
>There's a whooshing noise. Through squinting eyes you see your folding chair zoom by, followed by various objects from your cart
>Shit. You hope nothing gets broken.
>You hustle for the door, being pushed back by the wind.
>There's a crunch as something heavy collides with you, sending you spilling to the floor and making your vision blur
>Your last thought before you hit the floor is that at least you'll be nice and clean when you wake up.
>And then...
>Nothing.

>Consciousness hits you all at once, like a cucumber thrown sideways.
>You open your eyes
>Rather than lying on the floor of a clean dungeon, you're standing in a bright spotlight, darkness pressing in on all sides
>Hmmmm.
>You look down. The floor is just white, with no obvious features
>Taking a few steps to the side, the spotlight seems to move with you. You speed up to a jog, but it follows you.
>Trying to catch it out, you stop abruptly, jumping back
>You don't manage to trick it.
>Remembering before you got knocked out, you assume this is some kind of hallucination dream
>A pretty lame one, really
>>
>>29575558
>Reaching into your overalls, you pull out a tobacco tin and start rolling a cigarette
>Your hallucinations are usually better than this, and you almost always end up in prison.
>That'd suck extra hard right now, since you're supposed to be cleaning out a dungeon in preparation for unspeakable sex acts.
>"Janitor Anon."
>A deep voice speaks, seeming to come from the darkness all around you
>It sounds like the kind of modulated voice people use to hide their identity on the news or whatever.
>You're too busy rolling to look up
"Yeah?"
>There's a moment of silence
>"Do I Have Your Attention?"
>You get the feeling the voice wants you to look up
"As much as I can give, sure."
>There's a moment's pause, like the voice isn't sure whether to demand you give it your full attention
>"You're Probably Wondering Why We've Brought You Here."
>We?
"What, to this spotlight?"
>"No, To The Space Between Universes!"
>The voice booms. Trying to be impressive, you think.
>You shrug
"What is this, Limbo?"
>"No, Janitor, This Is-"
"Hell? Or heaven this time, maybe?"
>"No! Would You..."
>There's a deep sigh as you finally finish rolling your cigarette, holding it between your lips as you pat yourself down, looking for your lighter
>Damn, you need to keep better tabs on that thing
>You finally fish it out, and light your cigarette
>"You Done?"
"Almost."
>You put your lighter away, making sure to remember it's in your breast pocket
>In fact, you pat it a couple of times to remind yourself it's in your breast pocket
>Your BREAST POCKET.
"Ok, I'm done."
>The voice clears its throat
>Or makes the sound, at least. You can't even be sure it has a throat at all.
>"Anon. There Are A Billion Different Universes, Each Different In Ways Minor Or Major."
>You nod vaguely
>Best just humour the voice and get back home.
>"I Represent The Watchers. The Ones Who Observe You. Your Lives Are But-"
>Come to think of it, this voice sounds familiar...
>You squint into the darkness
>>
>>29575683
>Sounds like Azazel, the demon you play cards with.
>"- And So A Great Tournament Was Demanded, To Settle Once And For All -"
>You take another drag on your cigarette
>What's he trying to do with all this bullshit? Trick you?
>"- Gathered All The -"
"Azazel?"
>"- Anons... What?"
"Is that you, Azazel?"
>You grin slyly
"Trying to pull a fast one on me, are you?"
>There's a few moments of silence
>"Shall We Just Move Along?"
>The spotlight on you seems to judder, its beam widening out to reveal rows and rows of racks
>Each rack contains a huge range of weaponry
>You let loose a low whistle, sauntering over to a stand holding a revolver
"Like the Matrix, huh?"
>"Kind Of, Yeah. Select You Weapons, Anon."
>You grin, picking up the revolver
"My weapons for what?
>The voice sputters indignantly
>"For- For The- Weren't You Listening Just Now?"
"Uhhh..."
>You shrug
"No."
>The voice sighs wearily
>"You're Going To Fight Every Version Of Yourself From Every Alternative Reality."
>Huh
"Why?"
>"Because... Because We Want You To. Die, And You'll Reawaken In Your Own World, Never Again To-"
"Wait, what? Why would I care about taking part in this?"
>"The Wish, Janitor! The Last Anon Standing Gets A Wish!"
>Shit! A wish!
>Think of all the things you could do with a wish!
>You could... uh...
>Well, maybe you might want to...
>Hmmm
"I don't think there's anything I really want. Life's pretty good, you know? So, thanks but no thanks."
>You put the gun you're holding in your mouth and pull the trigger
>For a second, you hear the voice shouting
>"No, Wait!"
>And then...
>Nothing.
>...
>Again.

>Consciousness hits you all at once, like a cucumber thrown sideways.
>You open your eyes
>Rather than lying on the floor of a clean dungeon, you're standing in-
"Ah, shit."
>"We're Not Letting You Go That Easily, Anon."
>You're standing exactly where you were a moment ago, surrounded by racks of guns
"You said I'd go home if I died!"
>"Yes, But It Doesn't Count If You Kill Yourself."
>>
>>29575825
"Why not?"
>"Because I Said So!"
>You groan
"Then maybe I'll just keep killing myself until you change your mind."
>You grab another gun
>"Nope!"
>You shoot yourself, this time in the side of the head.
>The bullet bounces off
>"I'm Making You Immune To Your Own Attacks."
>Fuck's sake.
>You grab a grenade from the stockpile, pulling the pin
"Splash damage, bitch!"
>It goes off harmlessly in your hand, though several racks of guns are blasted apart
"Seriously?"
>"Are You Done?"
>You sigh in exasperation
"Fine. You want me to play your game? I'll go and fight myself. Just give me my janitor stuff, I don't want any weapons."
>"You're Not Even Going To Try, Are You?"
"I'm going to ask the first me I come across to kill me, and I'll thank myself for doing it!"
>"But What If The Other You Doesn't Want To Kill You?"
"Oh, I know myself well enough to get me to kill me, don't you worry about that! I might even convince the others mes to kill... myselves just to spite you!"
>There's a sigh, and you feel your consciousness fading away.
>"Good Luck, Janitor"
"Fucking Hunger Games, Battle Royale..."
>You fight to get the last words out
"... knockoff bull..."
>Darkness rushes you
"... shit..."
>You hear one final sigh
>And then...
>Nothing.
>It's becoming a bit repetitive at this point.

Janitor Anon part 3 is retarded.
Not worth reading unless you want to read an even more egotistical and careless MC who acts like a dick and not even in an interesting and cunning way.

Part 1 and 2 were absolute gold though.

>>29580495
Hey, mate, glad you liked the first two parts.

Could you give some more feedback on the third? Which parts in particular Anon is being (too) unlikable, what you think's different between that and the first. What you think would need to change to make it >absolute gold.

I want to keep JA high quality, so I appreciate the feedback. The franker you can be, the better.

Finally, there's an unpublished pastebin with more of the part 3 story in it here:
http://pastebin.com/QwwwFPB3
I'd be very thankful if you could take the time to read through that and let me know how that holds up compared to the released part of 3 and parts 1/2. Again, I appreciate this isn't a small ask, so as much or as little feedback as you can offer will certainly be appreciated.

>weapons, armor and skills
Steel Sanctuary anon definitely, he's a genetically engineered to be as perfect as possible, has more augments than organics in his body, his head is connected to his facilities and robotic servants. He also has a second brain in a vat to be able to be connected to everything. He has access to everything the scifi humans have invented.
He turned the entire solar system into an impenetrable fortress of weapons platforms and scifi weapons including wormholes and lasers.
He also fought against multiple extraterrestrial Elder Gods.
>>
>>29580741
You know, it's funny. In a friendly sparring match, Moblight Anon would win due to his overwhelming strength. However, if any real stakes were added to the fight--that is, if King Anon had something to fight for--he would absolutely win. Their difference in strength is great, but the skill gap between those two is enormous. I wanted a character I could honor King Anon with without copying him, so I wrote Moblight's Anon to be super strong and brave but lack all of the skill that made King Anon his fights so fun to write. In a real life-or-death situation, there's not a doubt in my mind that King Anon would win.

t. The author
>>
>>29582011
He's got a lot of weaknesses though. Without his facilities he's just a guy. He's got a life-threatening allergy to magic, his scientific instincts prevent him from understanding or accounting for magic. And he doesn't have access to everything. He constantly says that his stuff is inferior to what you'd find back on Earth. Not to mention he lost his last 1v1 fight. Or ran from it whatever.
>>
There was a shorter green a while ago where anon learned the magic of creation from Luna and Celestia and then fucked them. He didn't battle anything I don't think, but creating stars and matter and shit might be substantial.
>>
>>29580596
Not that anon, and I read your story a couple months ago so may not be up to date with all the latest developments, but I basically agree with what that anon said so allow me to explain.

In the beginning, anon is a ">literally who" janitor, who manages - through seldom-practiced skill and wit, or more often through dumb luck, to overcome overwhelming odds. That's entertaining, combined with his attitude.

Towards the end though, not only does it get old - "oh look another insurmountable problem, anon will probably just shrug and the problem will instantly vanish, i can't wait to see that!" - but anon also gets a status. When you're mates with demons, best friends with a ruler of hell, when Celestia swoons every time she sees you - you're not a literally who janitor anymore, you're a pretty unoriginal Mary Sue that just happens to still be working as a janitor because why not.

I think the problem is inherent in the premise. There's only so much you can make out of it before it goes stale. The only two solutions are to take the story in a different direction - which you're arguably doing with the mary sue thing, which is obviously not a good direction - or call it a day. Even greentexts with no real set plot have the right to end, wrap up, get their [complete] tag on any pastebin compilations that mention them, and rest on their laurels, instead of stubbornly plodding on and on steadily getting worse and worse until nothing of their former greatness remains.

I know some of this isn't a very popular opinion, but I stand by this quite strongly. I enjoyed the first couple parts of JA, and I applaud your writing there, but I'm not going to be catching up top any further updates you add to the story.
>>
>>29582338
He doesn't have an allergy to magic - it's just that he got mind-controlled once and is kinda cautious now. I also don't ever remember him losing a fight except maybe at the very beginning.

He was also mind-controlled by one of those Elder Gods and still managed to get out on top due to his second brain in a vat taking over and working against Anon prime until the Elder was defeated.[\spoiler]

And you keep saying that he lost or ran away - have I missed something? I read part 3 up to line 10,000 or so in the pastebin, just after spike gives his gold to rarity and then there's a scene cut and luna finishes fixing celestia[\spoiler]
>>
>>29580596
Yeah I agree with the other guy, personally I want to try and forget JA3 ever happened. If you want to do the same style you could always try writing a new premise.

“If the answer is not ‘yes’, then it is ‘no’. Simply state that you are monsters and I will be content.”

“You’ve yet to answer my question with any real substance. Who are you? Answer with more than four words.”

>Curious, you open up and extend your tongue.
>Nothing blocking the path.

“I make it a point of personal pride to never trust a monster, let alone tricksters like you. How do I know you’ll stay true to your word and send me home?”

I think you missed the most recent update. It's not in the paste yet, you'd have to check the thread.

And he does have a magic allergy, it just doesn't come up often.
Right after fighting the baby titan.
>And still you've widespread necrosis all throughout your body.
>It appears your concerns had some validity to them.
>This strange energy is vital to their biology, and hazardous to yours.
>You've never been directly exposed to anything more than background levels before.

So he can handle small doses, but too much too fast will kill him, even if it's an otherwise harmless spell. Just being too close to a strong magic user might be bad for him.

>You can barely react fast enough to step out of the way of his charge.

>You slam into the ground, your armor scraping along the surface until you skid to a halt.
>A groan escape your lips as you push yourself up on your hands and knees.

>Ready now for battle, you yank your sword and--

>Wait, what’s going on here?

>”You wouldn’t use a sword against an unarmed man, would you?” giggle those cretins from wherever they’re hiding.
“You bastards!”
>Damn!
>In the time you were distracted with them, Anonymous closed the gap between you.
>You turn around, facing your back to him, and jump back.
>Digging the tip of your scabbard into his gut seems to do nothing.
>In fact, it may have just made him angrier.
>He grabs you in his arms and hoists you off the ground.
>The sound of your armor crumbling as his muscles constrict you sickens you more than his seemingly joyous growling.
>You throw your head back, slamming it into his nose.
>Another time, then another, and another.
>Finally, after giving you quite a headache, he drops you and grabs his face.
>In a rush, you undo your belt and free the brass sheath from your hip.
>The pain he felt in his nose either goes away or he decides to ignore it, as once you’re done he grabs at you again.
>You wrap the belt around his wrist and pull, using the momentum of his own body to pull him down to the ground.
>He collapses like a raging bull, and you undo the bindings.
>Before he can collect himself, you flip the sword around so that you’re holding it where the blade should be, letting the grip and the guard resemble an ax head.
>With a mighty swing, you slam the point of the guard down onto his head.
>It seems to bounce right off of his sturdy skull.
>Once more, you’ve only enraged the man.
>He scrambles, swiping at you from the ground.

>You leap back, staying just out of his reach until he gets lucky and grabs hold of your left leg.
>You freeze up, your body locked in pain, as he digs his fingers into it.
>All of your strength fades away in that moment.
>He knows exactly what he’s done as well. The look of realization in his mad eyes shows that much.
>He puts more force into it and gets his feet under him, lifting you right off the floor.
>A scream is all you can manage until he swings you over his head and slams you into the floor, cracking it beneath you.
>He lifts you up once more, then sends you on another date with the ground.
>Blood sprays from your mouth, coating his skin.

>You look down at your leg.
>The armor covering it has been bend so horridly by his powerful grip that it juts out in places, forming sharp points.
>Alright, Anon. Come on. Let’s do it!
>Mustering all your might, you put your good leg against his wrist and kick as hard as you can.
>You manage to slide his hand down your captured appendage, letting the sharp pieces of the armor slice his parm open.
>He shouts and pulls back, freeing you.
>Using your elbows, you scooch back, trying to escape him.
>He doesn’t want any part of that though.
>The giant, with veins bulging on his forehead, throws his mighty fist at you.
>You manage to roll away.
>Instead of your frame, he smashes it into the floor, sinking it down an inch into the stone.
>This is your chance!
>As his lifts it up, you try another kick and knock his leg out from under him.
>He falls down face first, putting him right where you need him to be to knock his teeth in with your heel.
>>
>>29584512

>Your foot sinks into his mouth, knocking everything it touches out of place.
>When you remove it, his face is bloodied and he starts to cough up his own teeth.
>You grab your scabbard and use it to prop help lift yourself up.
>The pain in your left leg is almost paralyzing. You can barely see straight right now.
>Thankfully, there’s enough adrenaline in you at the moment to keep you awake just a little longer.
>Once more, you raise your weapon over your head and take special aim.
>He rolls on the floor, writing, leaving his face wide open for you.
>If his skull was so tough, maybe you just need a softer target.
>You swing your blade down, pushing the tip of the guard straight in through his eye.
>It slides in without an issue until the body of the grip taps against his brow.
>He goes limp as mushed eye and blood spill from his new wound.
>You pant, keeping your grip on the scabbard.
>Is he dead?
>Probably, but just to be sure, you twist the guard free of the gaping hole in his visage and use it to strike his throat, collapsing his airway completely.
>If he were alive before, he isn’t now.
>You unceremoniously drop the sword and yourself onto the floor.
>The searing pain in your leg becomes even more powerful as your adrenaline begins to wear off.
>Groaning, you lean forward and try to undo the straps holding the dented metal against your wound.
>They come off, but the armor is so deformed that it holds itself together.
“Damn it all,” you seethe and lay down.
>”Very good, King Anonymous. We honestly didn’t expect that victory out of you.”
“I hope you took notes. That’s your future as soon as I get my hands on you freaks.”

>Before you can even think of a response, the agony melts away.

>>29584519

>You blink a few times, not really able to register what just happened.
>Sitting up, you see that your armor has been totally repaired and shined up.

“You’re sick.”
>”Potato, potahto.”
“Nobody says potahto.”
>”Be quiet and be happy we even fixed you up for your next match. Consider this a professional courtesy.”

That's it. Well, I hope everyone liked it. I know I'm excited to see who will win in the other match and end up challenging King Anon for the next round. While I do like Moblight as a story, that Anon was actually one of my least favorites, so being able to write King Anon killing him was kind of fun.I hope I don't have to write him dying next match.

>Effectively genocided the entire changeling species
>Killed an adult dragon by jumping in it's mouth and stabbing up into it's brain
>Killed a hydra by breaking it's knees, and carving out it's heart while cutting off the new heads that would spring up to attack
>Tamed a manticore and rode it into battle against airships
>Consistently torn through groups of dozens of enemies without breaking a sweat
>Led the charge in countless vanguards
>Led Equestria to victory against an alliance of griffons, saddle arabians, minotaurs, zebras, dogs, and yaks (All while in civil war against Celestia)
>Survived being impaled through the chest and then being dropped forty feet straight onto his back.
>Killed a few dozen men with ease after coming out of a coma
>Infiltrated a yak camp and caused an avalanche that buried the entire force
>Destroyed a pirate ship single-handedly after hitching a ride on a great white shark
>Been recognized as the God of Death in the yak pantheon
>Survived manticore venom which completely immobilizes victims and makes their blood boil
>Regularly goes on hunting trips to the Everfree to cull the monsters that live there, getting to the point where the local fauna instinctively knows to avoid him
>Has the mental fortitude to kill a parasite that was strong enough to take over celestia's mind
>Is currently voyaging across the world to kill something so strong that Discord wasn't able to get rid of
>Has a personal body count somewhere in the six digits, seven if you count leading soldiers.

All of this being just a normal person (unless you count being completely immune to magic) with a sword, who spent two and a half decades fighting wars. And now that he's 45 his knees constantly ache and a good portion of his hair has gone grey, but he still can't be stopped

Fair, I've kind of suspected as much. It's gotten to a point where I'm having to write in reasons why JA can't just call up a demon or something to fix his problems for him. Might be time to either retire him, or go back and just start part 3 from scratch with stories that leave him completely away from anywhere he'd be recognised/have an advantage.

Just to be clear, when you talk about part 3, are you thinking of just the cowboy story from the third pastebin, or are you including the whole death story as well? I feel the latter needs either a rewrite or an axe.

>>29584654
I'll write and post the Conman vs Janitor a bit later. Can I suggest someone makes a pastebin with a separate paste for each fight, and maybe one with the setup stories? It'd be good to have all these in one place.

>>29585173

I don't think Janitor Anon even actually wants to win. I mean, his goal in the first match was literally "die as fast as possible" and he's now through to the second. In a sense, the further he gets the less well he's doing.

Beardy anon has:

>created a war every time he has gone shopping, without exception
>stopped the entire army of the griphon kingdom by throwing a few wooden crates at it

All of this totally happened with him just being a normal person (unless you count complete immunity to magic) with his bare hands and his dick, who spend 1 day to pacify completely the land.

I think at this point Janitor Anon actually does indeed have a power, often known as luck manipulation, even if he can't control it on a conscious level. His story is absurd levels of small mishaps turning into grand achievements.

Got Janitor Anon vs Conman Anon green

>You are Conman Anon, the greatest businessman Equestria has ever seen!
>Well, you lie and cheat a shameful amount, but that's close enough, right?
>The Watchers told you you'd be fighting another great Anon, and that it'd be a battle of wits in a trap filled labyrinth. You'll both have to pass a series of deadly challenges, and if you both make it to the middle, then you're to fight there.
>You run a hand over the thick fur cloak you're wearing.
>Those Watcher guys really are chumps. They gave you access to a huge variety of weapons and armour, and told you you got to keep whatever you chose after this 'tournament' was over, regardless of whether you win or not.
>You took the opportunity to request every valuable thing you could possibly carry, and then some.
>A silver chainmail vest (gold was far too heavy, though you did try), a dozen gem-studded weapons, two dozen cloaks of various rare/expensive materials...
>The only downside is how hot you're getting with all this crap on.
>It's not even like the weapons will be needed. The Watcher guys let you bring along two of your deathguard statues, members of the magical, invincible army that won a war for you.
>The Watchers, hmmmm...
>Perhaps you should ask them about a business deal. Maybe you could buy the merchandising rights for this tournament.
>You dab at your damp forehead with a silk handkerchief
>Yes, you'll ask them.
>There's a lot of money in merch. Posers, coasters and toasters.
>This tournament thing should turn out to be quite profitable.

>You and your two statue companions stroll into the labyrinth. Low stone walls hold sputtering torches and the rough stones are damp underfoot
>The strolling isn't a confidence thing, it's just hard to move with so much gear on.
>Ahead you see two doors set in the wall, a pair of demons standing guard in front of them
>At your approach, they speak as one
>>
>>29590774
>"Welcome to your first challenge, contestant. One of us always lies. One of us always tells the truth. One door leads to death. One door leads on. You may ask but one question of us. Choose wisely."
>Oh, right. You've seen these kind of things before
"Uh, you."
>You point at one of the statues
"If I asked the other guy which door leads to safety, which would he say?"
>The statue gestures to a door
>"That one."
>You go through the other door
>Pffft
>Why did they even put that in? It's not like there's a single person who hasn't heard that one before...

~~~

>Be Janitor Anon now
>You lift up your janitor's cap, scratching your head
"Uhhhh..."
>Shit. You're sure you've heard this one before, but you don't remember the solution
"I'm gonna be honest here, I actually want to die to get out of this whole thing. So, can you just point me to the death door?"
>The demons answer as one
>"You may ask but one question of us. Choose wisely."
"Right, yeah, but I don't really want to play this game with you, so-"
>"You may ask but one question of us. Choose wisely."
>For fuck's sake. The answer's on the tip of your tongue, but you can't quite remember it.
>You point at a demon
"If, uh, I was you and you were me, what would you say to, uh, no..."
>The demons turn their heads slightly, glancing at each other
"If you were in each other's places and the other guy wanted to ask me to... to find out which... door?"
>One of the demons speaks
>"You're along the right lines."
>The other demon nudges him
>"Shut up, /Barry/, we're not supposed to talk."
>"He's been going for ten minutes, /Greg/, it's not like-"
>>
>>29590791
>You point to the demon known as Greg
"Aha! You're lying!"
>"I am?"
"You said you weren't supposed to talk. You /are/ supposed to talk. You have to to give the riddle. So you're the lying demon!"
>"Ah, shit."
>"Nice work, Greg."
>"Fuck you, Barry, it's all your fault that-"
"Greg! Which door is that one?"
>You point at a door
>The demon answers glumly
>"Door to safety."
>You mock salute
"Many thanks, amigo!"
>Whistling, you saunter up to the door and throw it open
>Certain death, here you come!
>The door opens to a blank wall
>You stand there, smiling for a moment
>The moment draws out, death doesn't come.
>A voice speaks to you, the Watcher
>"No, Anon. We've Been Over This. You Can't Kill Yourself."
>You sigh. That's not fair, you solved the riddle!
>In a sense.
>Opening the other, correct, door, you head on.
>You'll find that other Anon. And you'll get him to kill you.

~~~

>Be Conman
>Panting heavily, you clutch at your chest through the layers and layers of furs, silks and mystical metals.
>It's too damn hot. You need to finish this soon.
>You'll find that other Anon. And you'll kill him.
>Fanning yourself with an enchanted shield, you try to blink away the stars starting to appear in your sight
>The last corridor you came down was full of traps, and the sprint you made to the end once they were activated? That's really taken it out of you.
>Well, it was more of a waddle than a sprint, but still.
>Leaning against the wall, you gasp for breath. Feels like you're burning up.
>Your knees give out and you slide down the wall
>A quick rest then, to get your breath back.
>Yeah
>Closing your eyes feels good, you're too dizzy to keep them open.
>Yeah
>A quick nap.
>...
>>
>>29590812

~~~

>Be Janitor
>You throw your cap to the floor in frustration
"Watchers!?"
>No voice answers you
"Look, I didn't even spot those traps! Getting hit by them all was an accident!"
>You just walked down a trap-filled corridor and got hit by every last trap.
>And not a single one killed you.
>Sure, maybe you'd suspected it'd be trapped after a few childhood RPGs trained you to be suspicious of empty hallways, but the Watchers had no way of knowing that!
>And it's not like you'd have evaded them all. No way!
>You should be dead now, fair and square.
"Ok, I see how it is."
>Sitting down, you start rolling a cigarette
"I'm gonna sit here and not move. Enjoy watching that, fuckers!"
>You roll a cigarette slowly.
>This is a good idea. You've got to hit them where they hurt.
>These guys brought you here for some contest or something? So the can watch for their entertainment? Cool.
>You're going to be as boring as you possibly can.
>Maybe eventually they'll give up and-
>Suddenly, there's a burst of confetti from above you
>"Winner!"
>You jump a foot in the air
"What?"
>You look up, trying to see where the confetti came from
"I won!?"
>"Congratulations, Janitor! You're Through To The Next Round!"
>Oh, daaamn! You see what happened here!
"Oh, I get it. It was all a trick. The way to win was... to give up?"
>"Oh, No. Your Opponent Died From Heat Stroke."
>You take a shuddering, deep breath
"Heat stroke?"
>"Yes."
"I won because my opponent, who I never even met, died of heat stroke?"
>"Yes. That Means You Are The Victor, Janitor. Take A Well Earned Rest, And Prepare For The Next Round."
>You shake your head
"I'm not playing, no."
>"Until You're Knocked Out By Another Contestant, You Will Be In The Tournament. Good Luck For Your Next Match, Janitor."
>Good luck!?
"Are you kidding me, this is the biggest load of-"
>You don't get to finish cussing out the Watchers though.
>Everything's rapidly fading to black...
>Again.

Anon and Discord's adventures by nebulus: Since anonymous is a good magic insulator Celestia de-stones discord and seals him in anon's head, eventually, however; anon becomes able to use discord's magic.

>>29559700
kek, no, that anon's just athletic but not very strong, he's just near deus-ex levels of lucky.
>>
>>29591033
clearly this makes this anon below beard status
>>
>>29584534

>So you sit there and wait, plotting.
>Of course they can read all of your thoughts so regardless of whatever you come up with, it’s useless.
>Gods above, how are you going to defeat an enemy that knows what you’re thinking before you can even think it?
>Perhaps you should--
>No, Anon. Don’t go down that train of thought. Not while their focus is on you, at least.
>After a few minutes, the tingling in your leg starts to become a stronger ache, forcing you to reposition yourself on the floor.
>You could use a drink right now.
>Suddenly your hands are full with things.
>You look down and spot a tall bottle of whiskey and a glass.
>Oh goodness, this is a good brand.
>”We are kind, are we not?”
“Go fuck yourself,” you snarl and throw the glass, letting it shatter in a place you don’t care about.
>You pop the top off the bottle and throw it back.
>The contents burn your throat as it drains to the halfway point.
>When you feel like vomiting, you pull it back and cough.
“Oh yeah, that’s good.”
>You smile and lean forward, resting your head on the mouth of the bottle as the pain in your leg abates.
>”Having fun? It’s time for your next match.”
“Whatever.”
>The next time you blink, you’re in a new area.
>It’s a dark, dirty, filthy room.
>In fact, it almost resembles a dungeon.
>”Hey, it’s Luna’s sex dungeon!”
>Your blood boils at the name.
>You track down the source of the voice and find another version of yourself in some kind of futuristic tunic that covers his whole body.
>It has more pockets than you can count and even a belt with various tools.
>>
>>29591310

>What in the name of the gods is he supposed to be? Some new-age carpenter?
>”Holy shit. Are you kidding me? I have to fight a knight?”
“A knight? You’re speaking with a king.”
>”Oh hell no. You guys are fucked in the head!”
>What does he have against kings?
>”I just want to go home to Equestria.”
>Your body tenses up, also letting you register that your armor is now gone, replaced by simple cloth and a leather doublet.
>”And play cards with my demon friends.”
“Demon friends?”
>”And maybe fuck with Celestia after.”
>Your hairs stand on end.
>That name.
>That whore.
“You there, man of many pockets. You are Celestia’s friend?”
>”’Friend’ is a strong word.”
>So their bond is stronger than even friendship?
>You grimace.
>Suddenly a much clearer picture has been painted of your new opponent.
>Any being in bed with Celestia is a being that deserves death.
>”The name of the game,” the Watchers’ voices ring out, “Is to kill your opponent by any means possible. We are well aware of the unfair odds here, so we’ve placed you both in a spot more likely to even them out.”
>”No need for that. Really, I don’t need any help.”
>Oh, the nerve! You’d be such an easy defeat that he needs no help?
>”Dude, let’s just call it a day. We both know who needs to die here.”
“I’m going to enjoy wringing your neck out.”
>He smiles and nods. The arrogance!
>>
>>29591312

>You step forward, noticing that your right foot weighs slightly more.
>There’s something hard in the boot.
>In your next step, you wiggle your heel.
>The sensation is reminiscent of a knife.
>Could it be? Have they given you a true weapon this time?
>This other Anon opens his arms wide, uttering a “Come and get me” before his hand knocks against a broom sitting on the wall behind him.
>This broom falls and lands on a precariously placed board, which in turn launches a tub of liquid at you.
>Whatever lays in “Luna’s sex dungeon” is something you definitely don’t want on you, so you sidestep to avoid it.
>The container lands on the hard, greenish brick floor and spills everything.
>What was inside sizzles as it comes in contact with the stone.
>Your eyes widen as it eats right through the material leaving but a hole where a floor once was.
>”Shit! Sorry!”
“You will be,” you growl.
>You charge for him, closing the distance before he can speak another word.
>Grabbing him by his strange garb, you lift him into the air and slam him against the wall.
>He yelps and grabs your wrists.
>”Hey man, take it easy. I’m trying to die, not die painfully.”
“Wait, what?”
>The man leans forward and whispers to you.
>”I’m technically not allowed to kill myself, but if I die in a fight, it’s all kosher. You just gotta off me and I can get out of here.”
>Your mind pauses for a few moments, unable to fully comprehend his words.
“You...want to die?”
>”Yeah, man. If I die, I go home.”
>Well isn’t that a generous offer.
>You can’t help but notice you weren’t offered something similar.
>”Different folks, different strokes,” mutter the Watchers. “Everyone needs different motivation.”
>>
>>29591325

>A man who wishes to die.
>That’s new.
>”Seriously, just kill me now. I won’t even be mad. I do suggest doing it quickly though. I have some really bad--or good, depending on how you look at it--luck. If we fight much longer, there’s a good chance you’re going to die.”
>That does explain the broom fiasco.
>A thought flashes in your mind.
>It lasts just long enough for you to get the jist of it, but as soon as you register that you’ve thought it, you push it down beneath heaps of other miscellaneous thoughts.
“Very well, I’ll end this quickly.”
>You lift your leg and place your boot against his open palm, nudging it.
>The knife falls out. He grabs it and raises an eyebrow.
>For convincing’s sake, you use that same leg to kick him in the shoulder and knock him several feet away.
>When he lands on his side, you notice a bulge in one of his pockets.
>The outline vaguely resembles that of a boomtube.
>It even seems to be a newer model too. Nice.
>As he turns himself onto his back, he eyes the blade curiously.
>With a shout, you run at him.
>He flinches and looks up at you, the knife raised straight up into the air.
>Before you make it far, your foot slips on something you’re too afraid to think about given the name of the room.
>You fall forward, slamming down on top of him.
>The knife easily slices through your leather clothing and sinks into your gut.
>”Oh fuck! God damn it!”
>Soon, the pain sets in.
>You cough some blood up onto his face and slide off of him, rolling onto the floor.
>”Great. The one time I don’t want to be lucky, it’s stronger than ever!”
“Darn,” you wheeze. “Bested by a carpenter. Well, a good victory to you, pocket man.”
>It really is getting hard to stay awake.
>Come on, you fools.
>>
>>29591331

>The other Anon stands up and tries to wipe your blood off of himself.
>”Shit, and now I’m dirty too. This day sucks.”
>”On the contrary, we’ve been having great fun!”
>Yes, there they are.
>The Watchers appear in the room, those freakish little things.
>They’re puny for monsters, only reaching about as tall as the future carpenter.
>Their long, white robes are adorned with huge collars that cover most of their bulbous, emerald heads.
>Nice, big, round heads.
>”What a victory. Good show!”
>Your vision begins to fade.
>The edges of your vision turn black and begin to close in on them.
>”Yes, we would like to congratulate you personally.”
>”I didn’t want to win!”
>”But you did!”
>You can feel it coming on. Your last moments.
>They’re too focused on him to bother with you right now, which means they’d never have the slightest idea that your vision closing in, making their fat heads an even better target, is just what you wanted.
>Your grip tightens on the boomtube you stole from the carpenter.
>Shakily, you lift your hand.
>You can’t see it, but know know where you’re aiming.
>Right there. Right for the center.
>Pull back the hammer...and…
>Boom.
>The Watchers disappear.
>What?
>Where did they go?
>”Oh god damn it. He wasn’t dead.”
>>
>>29591342

>All that’s left in the room is your opponent.
>Right in between his eyes is a small, bloody hole.
>His body goes limp and he falls to the ground like a ragdoll.
>”Well, it looks like King Anon wins again.”
>Your sight returns to you.
>As you gain one sense, another leaves you. The pain is all gone.
>Quickly, you examine your now fully healed gut and scramble to your feet.
“What is the meaning of this? I shot you!”
>”You shot images of us. Did you really think we would be stupid enough to show ourselves? Our real selves?”
“I was hoping so.”
>”That certainly was clever of you, using his luck to fake your own death. Looks like it finally came back to bite him though.”
>You grunt and throw the boomtube onto the ground.
>”Congrats, King Anon. You’re moving onto the final round.”

I'm not a big collab guy. I would be interested in reading your take on the fight though. I know the voting was really close throughout the day, and there were many periods where Janitor Anon had the edge. I tried to reflect his near victory in my story. I hope you don't think I've soiled him or something.

to be completely fair, while jedi anon wouldn't kill someone without any reason, he'd still put up a good fight for his opponent
This is going to be an interesting one, kind of a skill vs tenacity ? Even though king anon's pretty skilled but you get what I mean
>>
>>29592362
I feel you. They're both highly skilled, but one can also use what amounts to magic so it comes down to how much King Anon can endure and how heavily he can lay into Jedi before things go south. It's interesting sure, but I still have my money on King. He's not just a skilled warrior, he's a human weapon.

Hey, I'm currently writing this whole thing from the viewpoint of Jedi Anon and since it's my first time writing fiction on /mlp/ (and in english no less) I wonder if I should post something as soon as I complete it or rather hold it until I have a full "scene" or two

“Wait, what will happen if I die ? You did say that these were death battles.”

You probably did but don't remember it because there was no actual ending.

The writefag wimped out on writing it and just gave a vague idea of what would happen when he finally got around to it. It was a bad end of course, but I still wanted to read it.
>>
I do have to ask though, why was everyone criticising Steel Santuary anon for being too dependent on gadgets/equipment but Iron Manon actually made it into the tournament?

I mean, even if you take everything else away (and to be fair, planet-to-space canons and a massive industrial capability aren't particularly useful in a 1v1 fight anyway), steel anon does have his own suit. He just never uses it because he never goes outside.

If I remember correctly it was made out of neutronium or something (and so would have a density something like 10-15 orders of magnitude higher than ordinary matter, and thus would be that much harder and tougher). It also had some kind of weaponry that I don't recall, knowing steel anon it was likely some kind of antimatter canons and maybe some energy weapons or whatever.

All in all I'd definitely rate that as being much more powerful than just an ordinary metal suit with boring old plasma jets or whatever he uses.

I'd say it really comes down to if King Anon can figure out the danger of a lightsaber or not. If he tries to block with a sword, that saber is going to cut right through it and him. If he knows to avoid the lightsaber instead of fight it, I think it's game over for Jedi Anon.

>>29597267
The Force isn't really an end-all power. Even in the movies, the Jedi/Sith don't capitalize on it in their fights. When they do, it's never as effective as what you would imagine it would be. Even Darth Vader doesn't force the rebels' shit up as often or brutally as he could. Then there's King Anon whose entire life has been spent fighting magical beings ranging from giants to Celestia herself. He probably has tons of experience with tricks like that. Even if he doesn't, he demonstrates such a quick learning ability that it'd probably require a surprise and quick kill to beat him. I'm not saying Jedi Anon is helpless. He certainly has a huge bag of tricks to pull from. I'm just saying if he doesn't end it quick and gives King Anon the short time he needs to learn and work around those powers, it won't end well for him.

>Even in the movies, the Jedi/Sith don't capitalize on it in their fights. When they do, it's never as effective as what you would imagine it would be.

I kinda is though. Unfortunately we have to turn to the prequels because this is the only place we can find actual well-trained jedi fighting, but technically they're still canon, and we can see jedi decimating squads of troopers and droids with relative ease.

Most of the jedi fighting we see is against other jedi or sith, hence it's seldom very once-sided. However, I highly doubt it would be over as soon as King Anon figured the Force out.

As a simple example, unless the arena is reall flat and bland, jedi anon would have no trouble force-jumping around to stay out of King anon's reach. Melee weapons can't hit things that are out of your range, and ranged weapons are pretty much out of the question since compared to laser fire, crossbow bolts or arrows are laughable. Unless King gets some lightsaber-proof projectiles, in which case Jedi would have to dodge (since, not being energy-based, they wouldn't be deflected, so if they don't get vaporised they'll pass right through his lightsaber) and while he could certainly do that (or deflect them with the Force) it would require quite a bit more effort.

Tl;dr a human would basically stand no chance whatsoever against a force user, so King anon's prowess, while enough to make it more of a fair fight, doesn't make it a foregone conclusion by any means in my opinion.

(Consider that jedi anon could probably match moblight anon's speed and agility, and would be unlikely to even get hurt in that fight, whereas king anon got mangled pretty bad.)
>>
>>29597576
King Anon needs a songsteel blade and Mando gear.
>>
>>29597576
So what you're saying is it comes down to who is more willing to get in close. Jedi Anon has the ability to jump around all day but in that case, he's left with hoping and praying he can hurt King Anon with any force tricks. King Anon can try to keep his distance from the lightsaber, but if he does than he limits himself to ineffective ranged attacks. Is King Anon willing to step into the saber zone or is Jedi Anon willing to step into the murder zone?
>>
>>29597576
>whereas king anon got mangled pretty bad
That's not even a scratch for King Anon. This is a man who charged into battle with an infected wound from a poison arrow after walking for several days carrying a fallen soldier in the heat. He slaughtered a frost giant, diamond dog, griffon, hordes of man eating bugs, and drove a race of undefeated lion creatures to extinction in one fight which left him covered in more blood than he even weighed and a crippling leg injury. Then he had to walk all the way home like that for days just to tell Celestia "fuck you". Even stabbed and brutally beaten, he still killed a group of his own magically powered clones made by Celestia. What Moblight Anon did to him was nothing in comparison.
>>
>>29597613
Oh yeah that would definitely give him a huge edge.

Since going by pure combat experience from what I hear King has the upper hand by far, if he was equipped with proper jedi-fighting gear I don't think it would be a fair fight anymore.

>>29597632
Failing lightsaber-resistant gear, though, Jedi anon could also try throwing his lightsaber, using the terrain to incapacitate King anon (by throwing things around with the Force, for instance), or even using the Force to disarm King anon.

While none of that might prove devastatingly effective, at a range Jedi anon still has a huge advantage over king anon.

It's also worth mentioning that jedi anon is the one who controls any engagements here - he decides when and how to move in close. King anon may be fast and strong but he isn't superhuman enough to either avoid or keep up with a jedi. That alone is a huge advantage in any fight: if you're slightly off-guard, just keep away, but if your opponent is slightly off-guard even for a tiny moment, you're free to jump in and capitalise on that. The Force could also be used to get King anon off-guard by moving stuff around or even pushing king anon himself.

We do actually see that in the movies, except, again, most of the fights involve hot jedi on jedi action and so such tricks are easily counteracted or blocked. See: anakin and obi-want both trying to push the other away while dueling on the lava planet thing, only to get into a deadlock ending up with both of them flying off into opposite walls with neither gaining an advantage. Now compare Jedi anon force-palming King anon off-balance, then while he's distracted force-grabbing his sword, giving it a quick lightsaber melt, then jumping away. Then just rinse and repeat, creating distractions, waiting for one of them to give even the slightest advantage, capitalising on that, then escaping. That might make for a boring fight, but it's entirely plausible.
>>
>>29597706
We're also working on the assumption here that King Anon would dedicate himself to avoiding the lightsaber, making it possible for Jedi Anon to pull those stunts. King Anon has been shown many times putting himself in danger just to get a good hit on his opponent. There was the time with the ankhegs where he jumped right into their pincers with only a shield to protect himself so that he could fool it into thinking it was poisoned. Even in this tournament he seemed to be keeping Janitor Anon alive just so that his luck would play out and allow King Anon to fake his own death. Let's say Jedi Anon does knock King Anon off balance and move in to saber melt his sword. What's to stop King Anon from latching onto him even at the risk of some damage? If he fought on long enough to know that Jedi Anon had the overwhelming advantage at distance, it makes perfect sense in terms of the character for him to risk his limbs to keep Jedi Anon close.
>>
>>29597760
>move in to saber melt his sword

But that's Jedi Anon's overwhelming advantage, he doesn't have to move in, he can force grab it and king anon won't be able to latch on to anything.

Presumable King anon can hold his sword tight enough to prevent that, but the knocking off-balance would be meant to help with that, distracting him and possibly weakening his grip. Or if not, then boom, now King anon is super concentrated on gripping his sword hard, that gives him a small disadvantage in doing almost anything else.

Anyway, the way I see it, Jedi Anon would be able to direct the flow of battle, but wouldn't have an easy way to move in against King anon outright (assuming we rule out the scenario where they both slice each other in half, because that's totally possible but both boring and desirable to neither of the contestants). So he'd play the attrition game, tiring King out, trying to disarm him, or weaken him, or catch him enough off-guard to get a strike in, get him wounded, stretching out the battle for long enough to be able to safely get the kill.

Meanwhile, King anon would be doing his best to avoid exactly that and finish this as fast as possible, and on top of that he has enough stamina and durability to not exactly get tired and shrug off any wounds thus making jedi anon's job much harder. If jedi anon is ever caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, King anon would seize the opportunity immediately.

And in the meantime, both are fragile enough (relative to the other's weapon) to be susceptible to random mishaps, e.g. if jedi anon can weaken a tree with his saber and manages to get king anon under it, he could force-pull it down to temporarily immobilise, stun, or at least severly inconvenience King, and move in for the kill; conversely, if king anon can weaken some terrain and back Jedi anon into it, the latter to could jump there, have it break, and get ended right there.

I think we're mildly underestimating Jedi Anon here. They're capable of some pretty crazy stuff when pressed.

Wew lad. Well then. Since there's like 10 active posters total on this thread I think it's time for the next poll:

http://www.strawpoll.me/12451894

Keep in mind this is more of a what-if scenario I'm looking at out of curiosity. And Steel anon only has that armour suit he made, and nothing else out of his arsenal.

Personally I think this is greatly unfair - Steel's armour is basically untouchable by anything King Anon can do, the powered suit would let him literally crush the human opponent without breaking a sweat, and I think he also has some sci-fi ranged weapons on it which would just vaporise king anon.

The watchers could take away his suit, but would you take away Iron Manon's suit? Or Jedi Anon's lightsaber? If that were done, however, Steel anon would be completely unable to fight back since he's not even a soldier. His augments might let him dodge stuff well, but he'd be no match for King anon. I will, however, reiterate that taking away his suit would be dumb.

The poll has been 4-4 for most of the day so I took that as a sign the battle was a tie. Also since I've never actually read the Jedi Anon story, I tried to pay attention to the analysis here to see what should be going on in this fight. I hope the end product is enjoyable and not disgusting to the original author or dear readers. That said, even if it isn't, oh well. I had to write my favorite Anon dying so suck it up.
>>
>>29598359
Wait, Steel Anon only had his suit for the first fight? I'd like to change my vote. The way I was envisioning it was wave after wave of combat drone coming after Jedi anon until he got too tired to fight while Steel anon sat on his ass half way around the planet.

Light sabers can cut through some pretty tough stuff. I checked Steel's paste and the suit didn't have antimatter munitions, just a laser gun and particle cannon. I'm sure Jedi are used to dealing with such weapons. While it's true that Steel Anon would never miss because he's part computer, we've seen Jedi deflect lasers all the time, and they can even block them using the force. Also Steel anon's inability to understand magic and his trouble with adapting to it should apply to the force too. It's not the same thing but the underlying problem is the same.

Well thats it folks after a full day and night the results are in and Jedi Anon and King Anon have tied. I hate ties but whatever, maybe we can have some tiebreaker game whatever that would be. As it is, I'm going to call King Anon and Jedi Anon the top of the warrior class of Anons. Let's get 3 cheers for them.

>>29599040
I liked it!
So... which class is next?

>>29599040
Should we do that third place match?

>>29599027
Alright, it's still 4-1 though.

Did you check what the suit was made of in the paste? I can't remember whether it was actual neutronium (though I think it was) or just some carefully engineered polymer. If it's neutronium, then I think we can safely say that it's lightsaber-proof, since we have canon wearable gear which is lightsaber proof and there's no way that would be made of neutronium and still be wearable without a full powered exoskeleton of it was (remember, 10-15 orders of magnitude denser = 10-15 orders of magnitude heavier).
Similarly, since the armour would then weight that much, Jedi anon would have a LOT of trouble trying to force-push anything that heavy, and smashing random objects wouldn't have any effect either.

If I'm wrong and it's just a super-engineered molecule, that changes things quite a bit.

wait, the match was steel anon in human (sort of form) ? I thought it was jedi anon vs the fucking huge space fortress, which was he was obviously not going to be able to defeat

You know, I think that's maybe for the best
While they are both great fighters, I think that when we try to determine who would win in such a scenario, it would fall in which direction the plot demands it

nah, jedi anon is waayy too OP at the end of the story

>>
>>29600719
"Super-dense hafnium-carbide mesh." The way it's structured is overengineered to make it almost impossible to crack, but we know the actual molecule. Wikipedia says it has a melting point of about 3900c (7000f). So the question is how hot a lightsaber is.
>>
>>29601907
Ok so I looked it up and nobody has any coherent estimates. Joy.

Assuming all its cutting power comes from heat (so it sublimates any metal it comes into contact with), then, well, I can't find any references for a steel boiling point but I think it's safe to assume a super-dense mesh of a super-high-melting-point material would get at least melted - which would be more than enough to severely damage it and incapacitate sanctuary anon.

If, however, lightsabers cut through materials in some other way (which would explain why they don't raise the ambient air temperature, for instance), then we've really got no idea. I would venture to say that, from the wikipedia page on hafnium-carbide, a super-dense mesh of that might behave similarly to e.g. a blast door in the SW universe - i.e. it would be light-saber resistant, and would adequately protect against slash attacks with minimal contact time, but would eventually yield under prolonged contact. That said, that's just a wild guess and is as good as any.

Meanwhile the power armour strength would be a rather effective deterrent against the kind of close-quarters offensive which would be required to press the lightsaber against the armour and hold it there.

So it's definitely looking much worse for sanctuary anon, but not entirely hopeless yet.
>>
>>29601524
I would still put my money on King Anon in the fight if it weren't decided by a poll. As far as the characters themselves go, King Anon is a fucking tank stuffed inside a tank. He's strong, durable, and tenacious. He's probably the most technically skilled Anon in the thread and has the creativity to overcome almost any obstacle. There's just no comparison.
>>
>>29601991
And he's still a fleshy human with a metal sword and armor.

Whereas his opponent has a strong telekinetic ability, a sword that can cut through anything on the battlefield, and supernatural speed, agility, and skill.
>>
>>29602010
He usually has a sword and armor but that's not all he's limited to. He can use as easily as a sword every other weapon he's been shown to use, not to mention the very environment around them which he loves to put to his advantage. Again, I feel the need to reiterate that he's spent his entire life becoming a killing machine and fighting magical beings. Some of them were bound to be fast. Even in this fight, he was more or less keeping up with Jedi the whole time, even caught him off guard. The only real trouble he had was Jedi playing keepaway the whole time but that's because he had a lot of places to hide and jump to.

>HoW V Jedi
HoW is from modern earth, so he should know what a Jedi is and roughly how to counter it. I think the deciding factor would be if the Force can work against HoW (The justification for why magic doesn't work against HoW is because he's from a different dimension than Equestria, so I'm not sure if the Force would be included).

The Force obviously gives edge to the Jedi, but if no Force is being used, then HoW might have a slight edge. Lightsabers cauterize wounds, blades don't. HoW consistently places accurate hits onto weak spots in battle, and I think he'd allow himself to be impaled with a lightsaber if it allowed him a quick stab to the neck/heart. Star Wars has a decent amount of examples of non-force users outsmarting Jedi, and because HoW would know Jedi tactics from pop culture, he might be able to use it against Jedi Anon.

>King V HoW
This guy is right:
>>29607360
>That would be an interesting match to watch.

Both have extensive personal combat records of fighting opponents smaller in size, equal in size, and larger in size. HoW gave us the following:

“Setting aside natural deaths, in the past millennia I have killed more than every other individual and plague combined.”
>”Orders don’t count.”
“In the first real war I was involved in, I personally killed over fifty thousand yaks.”
>”Wait, how?”
“Caused an avalanche over their encampment.”
>”That doesn’t count either.”
“Well over my career I’ve killed over a thousand with my bare hands alone. And you know my sword? Over a hundred thousand with that. Hell, I’ve effectively genocided the changelings.”

Six digit kill counts with a sword for HoW, do we know King's rough body count with a sword?

With HoW the story is still ongoing (at 250,000+ words), so we're not sure exploits will come in the future. All we know is that he's going across the world to a land that every previous explorer has either been killed or driven mad by.
>>
>>29607743
That is a very interesting way to view things with the whole Jedi V HoW.

I forgot HoW Anon knows what Star Wars actually is, but if Jed can use the Force and it does affect HoW, it seems it would be all over.

I can imagine every time HoW would get close Jed can just push him away and do the lightsaber boomerang throw thing.
>>
>>29608022
Can they all do the lightsaber boomerang throw thing? That sounds like it would be extremely OP, and I don't think we ever see them use it in the movies except for Vader.
>>
>>29607743
I honestly don't think kill count is important. It doesn't matter how many people you kill, it's how you do it and the odds stacked against you. Obviously killing 60,000 baby bunnies isn't nearly as impressive as killing 10 manticores, but going by kill count, it's the greater dear. Do you know what I mean?
>>
>>29609081
in principle yes, but endurance should be remembered. Because HoW fights on the front lines, most of the casualties a happened in waves. In one bit it was recalled how HoW stood alone in a breached wall and killed endless waves of Saddle Arabian soldiers for an entire afternoon (after otherwise defending the walls for a dozen days while outnumbered 10 to 1). And also it isn't baby bunnies that inflate the kill count, it's enemy combatants (granted, some are just conscripts given weapons, but many are also trained troops or elite soldiers)

In terms of non-soldier kills, HoW has killed enough dragons, hydras, manticores, chimeras, and other creatures to make the monsters in the Everfree instinctually know to avoid him.

As for the odds stacked against him, the first two acts have him leading a heavily demilitarized Equestria to win a war against six other nations, and while overthrowing Celestia and Luna and their loyalists.

He's proved that he has the skill to take out targets that are visibly much stronger than he is, and has the endurance to stay in the fight for hours on end.
>>
>>29609426
Sounds like /ourguy/ might finally have a real challenge.
>>
>>29609533
pure golden beauty.
Just missing manticore
>>
>>29609426
Not bad, but he's not the only one with some endurance. There's King Anon who led 10,000 men in a campaign through Equestria reclaiming cities so overrun with minotaurs, diamond dogs, and griffons that the streets were literally (using the word in its dictionary sense) flooded with monsters. Or the time he carried an exhausted soldier across the world to the Crystal Empire while fighting an infected arrow wound in the blistering sun. Or the time he fought a whole horde of ankhegs plus a temple's worth of undefeated holy lion beings on top of the leaders of 3 nations, slaughtered them all, and then walked back home for 3 days without rest or sleep because he would rather put up with the pain than sit down and relax long enough to remember his friend's death. Or the full year he fought in a war with little if any quality sleep because of Luna haunting his dreams every night, forcing him to relive his friend's death over and over again.

Even setting aside personal kill count, under his orders every single non-human being on the planet was killed by dropping city-sized chunks of Earth from the sky in key places. Those are huge numbers.
>>
>>29609426

It really sound like the HoW anon's the main character of one of these bad muso games(think sauron in Lotr with his mace killing 10 people per strike)
>>
>>29610590
I have never seen Lord of the Rings.
>>
>>29610590
When taking just the highlight reel, most of the Anon's described in the thread seem absurd (to keep with the example of lotr, HoW Anon (in combat) is more like Aragorn when you read the combat details in context).
>>29610441
When HoW was a lowly lieutenant, he was led on an counteroffensive against Yakyakistan in the winter. After his captain deserted due to the conditions (snowstorms in the mountains), HoW took command and after causing an avalanche to destroy the yak army, took the yak capitol with only a couple dozen men and forced peace. In a war with Saddle Arabia, the ship he was on was sunk, and he alone washed up on the shore. He then survived through the summer heat of the desert for multiple days, surviving off of scorpions or snakes he was able to kill at night. I can't recall if it ever said how long he's gone without sleep, but whenever he goes two or three straight days, it's mentioned that he's gone much longer. He vacations by going innawoods in the Everfree, and is on his way to go innawoods in the previously mentioned land that has killed every other explorer and expedition.

While he was on the ship going towards said land, he was given the choice between taking the quick path (a stretch of ocean known as 'the Lake of Tartarus, which is a nexus of pretty much every known sea monster that stalks the uncharted waters) or taking a longer path (less monsters but contains lots of treacherous rocky outcroppings that could sink the ship). He chose the quick way, because he was sure that he can kill any monsters the ship might encounter.

Colony drop styled genocides might not be able to be beaten though. But the wars that he has led against Saddle Arabia have left almost no 20-40 year old males left in the country (and it's probably similar with the yaks and griffons).

Right now, I'd think the fight might be too close to call, King might have a slight edge. HoW Anon's monster horde resume will probably be longer when the story is done
>>

You know honestly, the more I hear about HoW Anon the more I want him to die. He sounds like a huge prick and not even in the magnificent bastard way.

These anons all remind me of the Lunar Guardsman story on fimfiction.

It doesn't qualify because the main character is not an anon, but if he did enter the tournament, I think something like a three way tie between King, HoW and Guardsman would be entirely plausible.

Well it looks like people have already shilled for my Anon. So, I'll put in my 2 cents.

People have already spoken on HoW Anon's skills, strength, and experiences, but in a fight his intelligence and perception are more important. He quickly but thoroughly analyzes the opponent before a battle and puts himself in the position to do the most damage (be that in the center of the vanguard, leading a flank, or sitting back to direct troop movements). He is able to quickly juggle and shift between by the book traditional tactics and fighting styles, to esoteric out-of-the-box choices and maneuvers to keep the enemy off balance. For example (in a straight 1V1 melee at least) if he was facing King Anon (who suffered a grave injury to one of his legs and became semi-crippled by it) then HoW would focus most of his attacks on King's good side, instead of targeting the weak leg (because the opponent would be used to defending his weak side). While being able to switch stance to deliver a quick blow to the enemy when King has gotten used to defending the good side.

And I'm not sure if you'd include it but HoW Anon is currently sharing his brain with a fractured past of Discord's mind. That provides another set of eyes looking at the situation that can provide helpful commentary (because is HoW Anon dies, then that part of Discord dies), and Discord has been able to pull Anon into his subconscious at will. That lets Anon take as long as he needs to contemplate strategy and tactics because barely a fraction of a second will pass in the real world while he can spend minutes or even hours preparing in his mind. That may cross the line of a purely martial fight, so it's up to you if you want to use it.

He's also adept at fighting focusing on strength or dexterity based on what is necessary to win. If you've seen/read Game of Thrones, think of the fight between Gregor Clegane and Oberyn Martel, except that he can do both depending on what he needs.
>>
>>29622760
(In the spoiler, that should read 'because if* HoW...')

That being said, I don't think a fight would be completely appropriate at this point. Because of the traditional climactic plot structure, the biggest enemies and greatest challenges are (usually) faced near the end of the story. King Anon has been finished (at least to the best of my knowledge, I haven't read it) but Heart of War is still ongoing and only 50-60% done. That means that the greatest examples of HoW Anon's prowess are still yet to come.

To use a Star Wars comparison, it's like asking who would win in a fight: Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. Vader's abilities are being taken from all of the movies, but Luke's are only taken from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.
>>
>>29622760
>HoW Anon is currently sharing his brain with a fractured past of Discord's mind. That provides another set of eyes looking at the situation that can provide helpful commentary.
>>29620839
>HoW Anon could potentialy fight stand users.
>>
>>29622832
Looking at what a stand is, I suppose the comparison isn't that different, but I was aiming for something more akin to Scorpius's neural clone in Farscape.
>>29622823
One final thing for the fight. If it's completely unarmored, stylistically HoW often dresses in military fatigues, boots, and a jacket he had custom made to look like Erwin Rommel's jacket.

If some armor is allowed, then he adds a steel breastplate underneath the jacket.

And if full armor is allowed, then he has used a set of steel full plate (tinted gold) and a matching helmet stylized in Imperial Roman Gallic style, with the red brushed crest running front to back, and potentially with a bright red cape. it's what he wore when riding into battle upon Frederick, the manticore he tamed and taught to understand commands in German (so that the enemy can't understand and prepare for what he told it to do)
>>
>>29622823
King Anon's greatest challenges fight-wise were in the middle of the story. That's when the Battle of the Grand Temple happened where he slaughtered the Lammasu, an ankheg horde, and the leaders of the frost giants, griffons, diamond dogs, and minotaurs, then walked home for 3 days while bleeding out without rest or sleep. Nothing in the story after that tops the physical challenges he faced in that section.

However, I wouldn't call that Anon's greatest challenge. I would say his greatest challenge was mental. The woman he'd known his whole life and cared for as his closest friend died in his arms, coughing blood onto his chest. The playback of that memory is the first time we ever see Anon truly vulnerable and afraid. Not only did he have to see it once, but Luna forcing him to relive it every single night on top of the constant ache in his leg were things he had to learn to cope with. Couple that with the fact that on his orders, humanity waged war with every nation on the planet. When he was told he needed a vacation before the stress killed him, he responded that it was out of the question because he couldn't sit back and rest to deal with personal problems while his people went out and fought. Even the "climax" of the story takes place in his mind. It's the point where he overcomes the demons that were plaguing him for half the story, faces the image of his father, and defeats himself.

King Anon's skill in fighting is unmatched, but the point of his character isn't about that. To me, he's an example of the power of human will. He's a symbol that with a little determination, you can do anything. Through his dedication to his people, he pressed on against impossible odds both physically and mentally. The shit his body went through along with his mind are unthinkable, but he still comes out on top.
>>
>>29622992
As the writer of HoW, I can firmly say that the greatest challenges fight-wise are still yet to come for him. He's going to be wandering around a land so hostile that if you took the worst aspects of the Australian Outback, Death Valley, and Siberia and combined them, it would be like an afternoon walk in the park. And he'll be there for months if not years while he tracks down an extra-dimensional evil that Discord brought into the world a thousand years ago, because at his height Discord wasn't able to kill or stop it. When/if he manages to kill it, he's then trapped there, because he's ordered that the ship turns back rather than waiting for him.

Mentally HoW has his own share of challenges. The extra-dimensional being infected him and the Alicorns with parasites that slowly came to completely overshadow their personality (for example, turning Celestia into a tyrant). Although the parasites were easily able to overshadow Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, when it made a play for Anon, he was able to kill it and drive it out of his mind (with a bit of help from Discord).

The decades of constant warfare and killing has also taken a heavy toll on his mind, as he often slips into internally debating on whether or not he's been a good influence on Equestria, and if he even deserves to live after his mission has been completed (because part of him sees himself as the next largest threat).

It has then been insinuated that if he didn't have Flurry (who he adopted), then he has nothing left to live for because he can never have any true (genetic) children of his own. And that if she were to die, then he would be so broken that he would decide to fuck it and declare himself Emperor, kill the other Princesses, and conquer the other peoples and nations. One of the characters even argues with him, that (basically) the only reason he keeps fighting is to stop himself from reflecting on the destruction. (The internal struggle is still ongoing)

I don't consider King Anon an edge lord. The world he's in is edgy and he's been forced to do some edgy things, but I feel that in the end, he's exactly what I explained. An embodiment of human will. He doesn't give up. That sort of determination has brought him much hardship, and while he has had to cope with the trauma of his mistakes, he's come out the winner and earned his peace.
Then you have Janitor Anon who is just a guy looking for his next break even though the crazy world around him keeps trying to end itself. Conman Anon is pretty chill, Iron Manon is self-obsessed but not an edgelord, I haven't read Beardy Anon but he doesn't sound edgy either.
And then there's "my life is so bloody the only reason I fight is so that I dont have to think about the destruction" HoW Anon.

>Constantly has to fight in battles and shed blood for 25 years straight
>Becomes a general and has to order good men to their deaths for the greater good
>Every time an enemy is defeated, they decide to try again, causing more deaths on both sides
>In the 25 years he was in Equestria, more people have died than in the past thousand years combined (aside from natural causes)
>Exiled to the fringe of the nation because Celestia was infected and the parasite wants to weaken Equestria
>Has to come out of forced retirement and lead the military against the people he was sworn to defend and against an alliance of six other species
>Survives multiple attempts on his life
>After the war was won, he watched as his adopted daughter is mentally broken by a parasite that only could infect her because Discord is a shithead
>Has to go across the world to clean up Discord's mess and make sure Flurry will be safe

And you expect him to be a completely emotionally sound
>>29623229
That argument was uttered by a pony who's slightly antagonistic to Anon as they butt heads.

Keep in mind that the story is currently 270,000 words long. Although he is an aging man who is in somewhat of a mid-life crisis, Anon brooding makes up an incredibly small portion of his sections. I brought up the worst of the worst to illustrate that he faces mental strain and challenges as well. For the most part he is gentlemanly, professional, and decently well adjusted- but occasionally he does criticize himself for leading Equestria through the bloodiest conflicts it's ever seen (because he did introduce concepts like total mobilization and doctrines like shock and awe)
>>
>>29623229
A lot of this is about phrasing. King anon got angry and genocided an entire race of previously undefeated divine guardians. Put it like that and boom, now he's really edgy too.

Also I specifically mentioned anons "like janitor anon" as an exception, and your two other examples are janitor anon himself and then the anon most similar to janitor out of every anon mentioned in this thread.
