RakaiThwei Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 A dodgeball game? Well, since this is just a dodgeball game... then it's strictly athleticism coming to play here rather than which side has more combative skills, ruthlessness, brutality, etc... I'm willing to go with my side, the mutants on this one. I'm pretty sure that they have some school athletes in their ranks, as a lot of the members in that gang happen to be wayward kids, and more are likely just guys who are in their twenties to thirties looking to cause some trouble. Some might even be athletes in sports for all we know. Yeah... I'm going with the Mutants here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peypeypeypey Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 There are members of the Crazy 88 who are very skilled, and others who completely suck. If it's a random sampling, the Mutants could definitely win, but if it's the best of them, then the Crazy 88 could probably win. I assume they get to pick their members, in which case I'm probably leaning towards the Crazy 88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they get to pick their members, in which case I'm probably leaning towards the Crazy 88 I have to ask on the basis of picking their best... Are you suggesting they pick their best based on how well they perform martial arts? Because if that's the case, I can say that's... not something to go with. Just because one side is trained in martial arts, doesn't necessarily mean they might be good at sports per se. I say this from personal experience, as back in high school, I was heavy into Tang Soo Do, and trained quite a lot but when it came to soccer games... I wasn't very good at the game, and just because I knew sets of kicks, didn't necessarily mean I was going to be winning the game for my team.

The Crazy 88 are probably about as likely to have played dodgeball as the super rebellious Mutants are, and they are definitely more nimble, which helps at dodging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macklemore Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I mean, I don't recall any one of these goons showcasing any noteworthy feats of agility, but if I had to pick one I'd pick the ninja/samurai expy's as opposed to high schoolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Just pointing out that at the end of The Dark Knight, the Mutants join up with Batman and get trained by him. Sons of the Bat, I think they start to call themselves. Thrown Objects training probably on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the fact is that the group listed in this match is ‘The Mutants’ not the ‘Sons of the Bat’ so I think we should assume this is the group before they joined up with Batman. The Crazy 88 should win this match because as ninjas they are naturally more nimble, quicker, and faster on their feet then the Mutants. Another advantage they have are discipline and loyalty; when Batman was beating the crap out of their leader, not one Mutant lifted a finger to help and afterwards the group quickly disbanded and fractured. The Crazy 88 on the other hand fought to the last man against the Bride even after seeing countless man after man be dismembered and killed. Sure that one teen gave up at the end, but the fact that every other member literally threw themselves at the Bride without hesitation tells me they’ll fight longer and harder then the Mutants and won’t give up quite as easily when the tide turns against them.
