"Well that's an easy one for me."

"Shoto Todoroki! The kid's crampin' on my style, man! I'd show him what's what!"

"Fire and Ice really aren't that unique y'know. Remember when we saw that Anti-Splice guy in the SFW awards?"

"But if we're talking about style cramping, I've got a beef with Bakugo!"

"C'mon man your powers don't even work the same. You got volatile fire, and he just makes explosions outright. It's like nitrogly--"

"I don't care; he's goin' down!"

"You'll just get burned."

"If you asked me, Splice might come out on top in his battle--if only because he's got so much more going for him than his fire and ice. On top of having minimal karate training and two daggers for weapons, he's very nimble and agile--and pretty athletic to boot. Meanwhile we've already seen that Todoroki's weakness is in fact, relying too much on his own powers. And while they may just be stronger than Splice's, Splice can absorb them while Todoroki presumably cannot. His body can't take extended use of his powers so he's much more limited than Splice.

Meanwhile Speedy's powers are far more versatile than Bakugo's given that he can essentially create long range explosions. But would he win against him? Doubtful. Like Splice, he does far more than just "blow things up". He's come up with all kinds of unique ways to use his power, and the sheer force behind it all is definitely stronger than Speedy's. Speedy has the potential to do things like Howitzer Impact but seeing as I haven't seen very many unique attacks like that from him I'd say he has a long way to go before he'd be able to take this kid down. But one thing's for sure, they're both super tenacious and neither of which would back down from a fight like this.

"Thank you for that lengthy analysis. Personally I don't have a preference as I don't fight for fun."

"So who would you fight, then? Midoriya? Kirishima? Maybe Sato?"

"All Might."





"I should've guessed."

"What? There's a lot you could learn from fighting someone like that. Just how wide is the gap between us? Besides, fighting with the best of the best..."

"That'd be the greatest honor."

"Assuming he doesn't knock you flat in the first five seconds."
