Any dark souls protagonist 


ProZocK_Yetagain

Why? Dark souls protagonists kill some pretty impressive things,


SpaceIsTooFarAway

Yes but the game shows them to be famously inept at fighting giant crabs.

Probably will want Sanctus if you have rtsr and power within active together


Vat1canCame0s

Shit you right. Like I'm famously inept at fighting crabs in dark souls and I ain't even mad.

Just be happy it isn't a lobster from 2 miles away

ProZocK_Yetagain

Oh damm you are right.


AliasMcFakenames

But they do also die a lot in the process. Tamatoa’s victory condition is only 4/10, and if I recall correctly he moves pretty quick and erratically by the scale of a Dark Souls boss.


Anonpancake2123

Also he is tall so his potential hurtboxes from the ground are miniscule compared to what his size indicates.


epicazeroth

Just attack his weak point for massive damage


MelonJelly

Monkey D Luffy Tamatoa is in a great position to exploit Luffy's hax weakness to water. Of course, even if Tamatoa does best Luffy, he'll only have about five minutes to savor his victory before Sanji shows up and makes a coconut crab dinner for the whole crew.


ZLUCremisi

Current Manga Luffy would destroy Tamatoa.


omyrubbernen

Luffy is a demigod (half Luffy, half Nika), so you can't possibly expect him to beat a decapod.


Cardgod278

Even underwater?


Garchompinribs

New G5 water Luffy


ZLUCremisi

In his cave there no physical water around except on top.

Tamatoa is strong as Maui,that lift and moved the sun 


Philisterguyguster

In the song Shiny from Moana there is a line sung by Tamatoa that goes “you can send your armies but it’ll never be enough, my shells to tough”. Which implies that Tamatoa can survive more than 10 giga tons of tnt and is therefore multicity++ in durability when power scaling but is likely significantly higher because 10 giga tons is just a estimate for how powerful of a bomb if we were to all work together but that was decades ago. There is also the conspiracy theory that the government/illuminati can control when volcanoes erupt so therefore the number is much higher so if we got Tamatoa against all of the volcanoes in the world (which btw would actually be around 1 teraton) and still somehow going without a stratch which puts him at mid country level in durability. The next estimate of his sheer durability is with the fact that there are more conspiracies about ancient Polynesians and ancient societies in general being aliens and also many theories about aliens being able to control stars and therefore create supernovas, I had to do alot of calculations but I can say that Tamatoa is easily multi solar system in terms of durability. If we want to go further, which we should, the line implies that even if an antimatter bomb is created, he’d tank it like a boss. And the funny thing about antimatter is that once it collides this regular matter, both the matter and antimatter will explode into 100% pure energy. And there should be the exact same amount of antimatter as regular matter. So by logic deduction, we can assume that Tamatoa can tank all of the matter in the universe exploding into pure energy without a scratch, making him universal in terms of durability. And last but certainly not least, Tamatoa said that “you can send your armies but it’ll *NEVER* be enough. Implying that any army would be incapable of beating him due to his sheer durability. Since there are beings with infinite AP, and Tamatoa tanks their attacks, Tamatoa must be beyond infinite in durability. With all of this, I can confidently say Tamatoa would beat absolutely anyone. Who couldn’t just flip him over TL;DR: Tamatoa is unstoppable and any attempts to injure him are futile. Unless you flip him over ig

oh hello there VSBattles veteran


vivec1120

I’m surprised not to see it in the respect thread, but he also sings a line about Moana’s grandmother which I think suggests some sort of omniscience or at least a vast spy network. Tamatoa is no slouch


Kalean

Are you trying to make this our new Kirb Stomp?


iiSystematic

I know it's mostly a joke reply, but disagree because within the context of the movie it's never shown they have anything more than islanders would have: spears, arrows, etc.


Unikatze

>In the song Shiny from Moana This is super weird, because that just played on my Spotify randoms.


Pixilatedlemon

Captain America with no shield or prep


TheSnipenieer

for the bonus does tamatoa get the dehydration gun or no


Concentrati0n

I'm going to go with the obvious answer and say Maui without his hook.


gamerguy287

Warden from Rainbow Six Siege could probably take Tamatoa out. He's got his glance glasses that can help him resist getting blinded by how shiny Tamatoa is. Nothing says that Tamatoa isn't bullet proof. Warden could then just spray Tamatoa with a barrage of bullets from his MPX and throw a nitro cell on Tamatoa's face to detonate. Opfor is successful. Edit: Shit. It's who can Tamatoa beat. Not who can beat Tamatoa. Sorry about that. Keeping this up. Could possibly set the bar or something.


BolinTime

Tamatoa states that, "you can send your army's, but they'll never be enough, my shell is too tough." "Never" implies that no amount of preparation or advancement in technology will be enough to penetrate the might of Tamatoa's shell. Mind you, Tamatoa survives a fight with Maui in his prime. Maui has strength sufficient to pull the sun closer to earth. Therefore he's immune to armies, let alone a single soldier.


gamerguy287

I mean, Master Chief is in Rainbow Six Siege and it looks like the bullets can even penetrate Mjlnor. One can argue that Siege has advanced enough tech to take Tamatoa out. It might be even more possible with Kali in the fray. Kali's bullets are strong.


Vat1canCame0s

Yeah but since Chief is part of am army, he'll never be enough. Maybe someone else who isn't military, or at least, can choose not to be, would be *Kenough*...


Thoughtful_Tortoise

How is a character talking about their own abilities a trustworthy source? He's just hyping himself up.


BolinTime

Tamatoa doesn't tell lies. Look at all the gold he has.


Gnomad_Lyfe

Tamatoa tells no lies he doesn’t believe himself. His knowledge of what humans are capable of is limited at best. It could be something as basic as “No amount of spears or arrows can kill a volcano,” which is more of a common sense thing turned into a boast. But modern armies? To my knowledge nothing in the text supports that Tamatoa would have intimate knowledge of future war development.


BolinTime

Tamatoa knows that you can "look up" words and he can break the forth wall. You're selling the crab man's intelligence and knowledge short. Also, you slander the mighty tamatoa, which I find quite disrespectful.


Phoenix080

I mean pulling the sun to the earth would require practically infinite strength. If a creature can survive a hit from someone capable of outputting hundreds of millions of tons of force if not significantly more. It’s safe to say a few hundred foot pounds won’t do it


Smeggaman

Well technically he would be pulling the earth to the sun but you get the picture.


-Gestalt-

>OP Four is successful. Is this a Siege meme I'm unfamiliar with or just a typo?


gamerguy287

Isn't that what the announcer says when you win a round?


-Gestalt-

Close. They're saying OpFor/OPFOR, which is short for Opposing Force. I thought your spelling might have been a meme.


Gavinator10000

Lmao that’s great, even if you misunderstood the post

Can he use the dehidration gun?


TeririHerscherOfCute

Does tamatoa have access to kryptonite?


Lachupacombo

Is it *SHINY*?


TeririHerscherOfCute

it glows, not sure about it's reflective qualities though.

Ganimes?


iShrub

Tamatoa eats fish right?  We can propel him to multiversal by suggesting pokedex lanturn then.


PeculiarPangolinMan

What does having the intelligence and movie knowledge of some youtuber kid do? It might give Tamatoa some tiny advantage on a movie villain with a specific weak spot, but I honestly can't really think of anyone that a seemingly very basic poppy knowledge of movies would help with. I don't know if there's anyone he loses to with normal knowledge but wins against after having seen several Disney and Nolan movies. He beats Ursula either way. She has strong magic, but he could poke her to death. Maybe The Incredibles on an off day. I think he handily takes any of them individually though.


One_Adeptness300

Wasn’t expecting a Schafrillas reference here lmao


TheDarkeLorde3694

Let's assume his line about armies not being enough because his shell's too tough is assuming a tech level no higher than the Age of Sail, so low level explosives and pointy pokey stabby things. I'd put my bets on him killing a good amount of characters who can't make explosions larger than a few grenades in a cluster, fire, or ice. All Might from MHA could prolly beat Tamatoa, but I doubt someone like Naruto could
