Poll: Bowser Vs. Tank

[Ultraman950]

In his double-review of L4D2 and Super Mario Bros. Wii, Yahtzee asked as the last caption at the very end of his video who would survive in a fight to the death between Bowser and a Tank.

After a quick check to see if anyone else did something like this, I decided to see what you guys think.

I'd say Bowser, because he can breathe fire and go into his spiky shell.

EDIT: To clerify, if you have trouble paying attention, I mean the Tanks from the Left 4 Dead games. Otherwise, I wouldn't be capitalizing it.

Bowser he spits fire and has spikes

The Tank. Even Mario can throw Bowser around.

 

[Master Break]

I have to go with the tank, If Mario can throw Bowser a good 300 feet think what a tank could do to him.

Bowser. The tank has to reload. Bowser doesn't.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Tank, easily... I mean, I have 4 people shoot, flame, and explode the piss outta him (or her... how could you really tell???) and the bastard still manages to kill us...

Tanks rape... Simple as that...

 

[ExaltedK9]

Tank all the way. Bowser's shell can't hold up to the tanks impossibly accurate concrete slab throws of instant death.

 

[Master Break]

I think you have the wrong tank in mind.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Bowser. The tank has to reload. Bowser doesn't.

Wait, is this discussion about the tanks on Left 4 Dead, or real-life tanks?

Great, now my heads gonna explode...

I'm assuming real life tanks. My point being, even if a tank didn't have to reload until it ran out of shells, Bowser could get to within 20 feet of the guy, retreat into his shell like he does in Bowser's Inside Story, and wait until the enemy has wasted all of their rounds shooting over his head.

Or he could just, y'know, send a platoon of bo-ombs to blow the tank up or something.

I say Bowser. The tank does do some real damage but remember, originally, the only thing that could beat Bowser was Lava. The best Mario could do was drop him in it.
Keep that in mind, you can kill the Tank with bullets, but you need Lava for Bowser. ^^

 

[Ossian]

I thought you meant a real tank, which would also be an interesting discussion. (Bowser wins if his shell can take a .50 cal round, doubtful though.)

Never played L4D more than a few mins so never saw a tank >.>

/thread.

Of course, my argument is only valid as long as Bowser isn't stupid (which judging by the fact that he trains his goombas to run one by one directly at the toes of his archnemisis, is a given.)

 

[Drakmeire]

Bowser, the tank doesn't have a personal army that follows his every word, a castle, and a flying car with the dumbest paint job ever.

I mean, WHO PAINTED THAT THING?!?

 

[s0m3th1ng]

The Tank. Even Mario can throw Bowser around.

I'm pretty sure all of mario's exploits were a mushroom-induced hallucination. So when he thought he was throwing a 4 ton lizard tens of yards by the tail, he was really laying curled up petting a goomba.
Tanks on the other hand, are fucking real and would squash bowser.

I say Bowser. The tank does do some real damage but remember, originally, the only thing that could beat Bowser was Lava. The best Mario could do was drop him in it.
Keep that in mind, you can kill the Tank with bullets, but you need Lava for Bowser. ^^

This argument only holds water if they fight in the real world...err...L4D world. If they were to brawl in the mushroom kingdom, where lava is more abundant than water, then bowser is f'ed in the A.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

Bowser. He's been subjected to pretty much everything you can throw at a guy, and he's come out alive. Beaten, but alive. Can't say the same for a tank.

But if we follow the logic from New Super Mario Bros Bowser's chances only improve if he's thrown into the lava. Dry Bowser is more unkillable than original Bowser as he has all his abilities plus the unkillability of a Drybones.
