User blog comment:Laquearius/Baraka (Mortal Kombat) vs Lust (Fullmetal Alchemist)/@comment-422690-20200111164920

So...

Weapons: Ultimate Spear wins. Lust takes this one pretty easily, thanks to her higher range and greater cutting power. It also appears to have less of a telegraph than the claw sparks, which are neat but ultimately useless. Also, in that gif Baraka fails to defend against a very telegraphed thrust, which leads me to believe that Lust will be able to decimate him.

Other: Philosopher's Stone takes this one pretty easy. It may have a limited well of power, but that well runs deep. Sure, Mustang is able to kill her, after eight full-body immolations, and those on top of the damage he had inflicted on her prior and everything else that had been thrown her way.

Overall: Lust takes this, unsurprisingly. She's sadistic and likes to toy with her opponents, which does help negate some of her incredible early-game advantage. Unfortunately for Baraka, I don't think he really has the damage output to offset her inefficiency. Lust will toy with Baraka and give him chances, but she can afford those, because he has no way of actually killing her without incapacitating her first. And good luck with that. Like the other voters, I went into this thinking Lust might have an unfair advantage, but it's closer than it appears. It's still her fight to lose, though, and I think she'll pull through.
