Every once in a while there's a thread popping up about how badass and stronger 40k's setting is, but big time professional question ironically raised by an autistic friend of mine at the pub yesterday:Could the Imperium sucessfully afford to invade and take over Kirby's planet?
>>97368786No, Kirby solos 40k, just like he would beat the Daleks, a flumph, Pandorym, Jasper Stone, Darkseid with the anti-life equation, Thanos with the infinity Gauntlet, Batman with prep time, Squirrel Girl, Popeye, Carmen Sandiego, Unicron and Primus, Gunbuster, Demonbane, Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Eva unit 01 at 400% sync, the Incubators, the Q Continuum, Skynet, the Galactic Empire, Godzilla, Azathoth, every SCP, One Punch Man, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Joyboy, Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara et cetera, the Saiyans, the Kryptonians, the Xenomorphs, the Flood, the X Parasites, the Combine, Yukari Yakumo, the Shrike, the Culture, the Chtorr, the Photino birds, God Emperor Leto II Atreides, the One Ring, Power-man, and Mr. Rogers.
>>97368794Kirby would NEVER fight Mr. Rogers! It's entirely un-neighborly!
>>97368786What the fuck does this have to do with D&D?
>>97368786Space Marines couldn't even take on Monster Hunter. 40K is absolutely bitchmade desu. They're the dekufrauds of scifi powerscaling conversations: only able to take on street tier settings.
>>97368786>Could the Imperium sucessfully afford to invade and take over Kirby's planet?A random butterfly turned out to be the Grim Reaper. Kirby's friends from Rick the Hamster to King DDD took out a primordial lifeform easily comparable to the Chaos Gods (I do not know the exact power scaling here since the Chaos Gods can just come back as long as their respective concept exists, but so does Void.)I wouldn't try the Exterminatus either, because John Carpenter's The Thing (furry mode) tried to crash a planet into Pop Star and got turned into roadkill about thirty seconds later.
>>97368786No faction in 40k can even beat Star Wars, let alone Kirby.
>>97368786Kirby’s official height is 8 inches tall. He struggles to eat basic waddle dees that are too tall much less a space marine. I know everyone here is sucking him/her off but I just don’t see it. If it was Smash bros kirby who’s a normal height then kirby would win.
>>97369816Kirby can eat metaphysical concepts like health bars.
>>97369816His height is generally variable depending on what the games need so let's keep it going by Samus' height
>>97369858His height in smash is about 3 feet, a little under a meter to the bongs. I think he'd win if he was 3 feet and could suck of spess mahreens etc.>>97369838Only sometimes.
>>97368794You forgot Anshinin, Featherine, Shurouga sin and Ideon.>>97368814He would if Rogers stole his cake (or if Dedede did and blamed Rogers).>>97369816He can eat larger enemies, shit, he could effortlessly gobble up a truck. Maybe Waddle-dees are just way stronger than you give them credit for.I think most of what limits his ability to eat things up is his motivation and/or popstar and adjacent realities having weird physics, where a soda machine can blow up walls of metal by shooting cans where volcanic fire can't do the same. He can, for instance, summon at will, a star to go way over Sonic's speed, if threatened. He just doesn't go around on 100% all the time because his games are easy, so any average Kirby game is just him taking a stroll with his friends to find out why the poyo his house blew up again.Also, smash kirby may as well be canon kirby, as far as powerlevels go, since Sakurai is respnsible. That means he can effortlessly swallow demiurge-killing entities like P5's Joker (though I do understand his durability is largely inconsistent).
>>97368786>how badass and stronger 40k's setting isIt isn't. Ignoring plot armour and warp shit that does whatever the fuck an author wants at the time, 40k is shit. They still use firearm designs that are already over a century old, which are just as viable as the guard's mainstay weapon.The few exceptions are ancient relics, human or otherwise.
>>97368786There are some pretty good resources out therehttps://character-stats-and-profiles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Dante_on_Discord/Warhammer_Cosmology_blog
>>97368786It would never happen. GW HATES non-GW products used in their wargames, so a battle between GW Space Marines and a creature from another franchise is impossible. You will be lucky if your arnt ripped to shreds by tournament autists, Product Purity Shills and GW Attack Lawyers for even suggesting it.
>>97369367You’re right that 40k isn’t that powerful of a setting but man is everything else about this post embarrassing
>>97370997>t. WH Fraudy-thousand simp
>>97371007Nah. I just think vs. battles posts usually don’t have a stench as bad as yours
>>97371020>I-i-i-i-i-i j-j-j-j-jjust t-t--tt-think LE BOTH SIDES (but specifically yours!)Whatever you say, fraudy-k simp.
>>97370445Their main issue in general is more so logistics, transport and conduct rather than just their gear
>>97368786Yes, Kirby can be hurt by mundane things, just attack from a distance and don't give him the opportunity to get close.
>>97372575He can go pretty fast with his warpstar if needed.
>>97368786>Could the Imperium sucessfully afford to invade and take over Kirby's planet?Yes, absolutely.>Could the Imperium hold Pop Star once Kirby woke up and decided it was a problem?Absolutely fucking not.
>>97372575>just attack from a distanceHis warp star has outrun FTL capable starships. Yeah he can be hurt by apples but whispy woods is low multiversal
>>97368786>>97368794Death Battle is cancer and they lied to you, Kirby is not that strong.
>>97373252>Death Battle is cancerTrue.>they lied to you, Kirby is not that strongFalse. Name the weakest setting you think can beat Kirby.
>>97368786This one: >>97373160The Imperium could absolutely take Pop Star up until the point Kirby notices and eliminates them. Kirby is EXTREMELY powerful, but he isn't omnipotent (he's actually kind of stupid) and he's quite lazy. Kirby's desire to "solve a problem" is directly proportionate to how much it's personally inconveniencing himself, his lifestyle, or his immediate friends. Once Kirby "locks on" to a problem though, he's like a pit bull: he won't let go until he's completely resolved the situation, as he understands it. >>97369816>>97370105>>97372575What people don't really understand about Kirby is that his power over Empathy means he has to match power escalation. Kirby, canonically, possess an infinite source of power, but it's entirely reactionary: King Dedede stealing all the food in Dreamland (the province, not the planet/country), and then challenging to a boxing match, is just as much of a "threat" to Kirby as that Gene-Stealing Super Organism in the recent game wot tried to kill Kirby by dropping a planet on the planet he was occupying. These are equally difficult situations for Kirby. >>97372575>>97373233Whispy Woods is actually a great example of these rules playing out in real time.Kirby is notorious for his indominable gluttony, has killed literal entropic depression demon gods, but is somehow being inconvenienced by Whispy Woods throwing apples at him. Literal apples. This happens because Kirby has to "humor" his enemies: he can't escalate conflict, he has to match the comparative scale of conflict his opponent brings to the table.
>>97373743In criticism of fecto elfilis, it didnt do any real work smashing forgotten-land into popstar. It just opened the portal, the roche limit is doing all the heavy liftingNo comment on how hard it is to tear open a planet-sized interdimensional hole in space-time though
>>97368794>Batman with prep timeYeah, nah. Nobody beats batgod
>>97373743>The Imperium could absolutely take Pop Star up until the point Kirby notices and eliminates them.only trap Kirby in a time bubble using a Stasis field or Stasis Bomb. (or any Stasis Technology that the imperium possesses, are several.)He can't defeat anyone while frozen in time and leave it there until the stars go out.
>>97368786Traditional games?
>>97374374Warhammer 40k (1987).
>>97368786I mean No.Kirby canonically has unlimited power. He is a universe tier threat.
>>97374369>only trap Kirby in a time bubble using a Stasis field or Stasis Bomb. (or any Stasis Technology that the imperium possesses, are several.)There's no reality where that would do anything besides just make Kirby immediately more powerful. You would see a better return on throwing apples at him.
>>97374369Doesnt this happen at some point and kirby just wills himself out of it?
To the people saying "kirby isnt that strong" we know. We played the games and watched the cartoon. His copy power iant perfect and the warp star is unreliable.Here's the thing tho: power scalers dont know this, and they believe everything the internet says kirby can do all because of 1 poorly written death battle against majin buu.
>>97373160>>97373743Reminder that in Planet Robobot, Haltmann converted all of popstar to a mechanized world in seconds.Once Kirby woke up he immediately stole a mech, taught that mech Hunger, freed the planet, destroyed the fleet, ate a starship, killed a rebuilt cyborg godmachine, and returned Pop Star to normal. Not even an exterminatus would stop him.
>>97374369These sort of plans have a tendency to backfire. Twice now someone has gotten the jump on Kirby and sliced him with an all-killing blade - once was Death itself - and all it did was split Kirby into multiple Kirbys. Trapping Kirby in a stasis field will likely just give him access to some sort of alt-form, super-powerful "Elder Kirby" that triggers at key moments as the game's gimmick.
>>97374570>trap kirby in a stasis field>now he can nap as long as we wants
