A peanut-sized showdown. That's not bad. AI, you get the slow clap there for what an awesome name for this battle. Charlie Brown versus Dark Side. There's only a 5% chance that Charlie Brown wins this battle. I'm not going to lie, 5% seems like a lot for Charlie Brown versus Dark Side. That's a fresh calculation that says 77.8% win percentage and current rank second. Uh, that was Mr. Hardlock. And then we've got Charlie Brown gone postal. Only a 5% chance to win. But Mr. J Crane, five times out of a hundred, Charlie Brown will in fact win this fight. Mr. J Crane. Yeah. Thanks, George. So let's go ahead and compare some of these attributes. Dark Side on the over here on my right has a 30 strength compared to Charlie Brown. A very average 10. Moving down, we have a 10 dexterity from Dark Side to a 12 dexterity from Charlie Brown. He is quite small. Moving down yet further, a 30 constitution. This is a person that never gets drunk as opposed to Charlie Brown with a 14. That's not bad. That's like a football player, right? Probably has a 14 constitution. So Charlie Brown doing very well. Moving down further, a 20 intelligence, right? Like at this point, um, Einstein would have been an 18 intelligence. 20 is where you hit superhuman. Dark Side has superhuman intelligence. Charlie Brown average at a 10. Going down even further, Dark Side has a 15 wisdom. Charlie Brown not very wise. We all know that. Has an eight. And Dark Side has a 25 charisma. That's comparable to uh, I think a gargantuan red dragon or gold dragon, one of the two. And Charlie Brown has a six. One thing is not like the other here. This is going to be a rough battle. I'm excited to see what AI comes up with. Uh, I do want to throw out I think this is the highest win percentage I've ever seen for a character. And there's a part of me that really hopes there is justification and a good story for Charlie Brown to somehow beat Dark Side. Y'all, let's see what happens. Charlie Brown, gone postal, unleashed a torrent of pent-up rage, launching himself at Dark Side with a flurry of wild punches. But the New God merely smirked as he effortlessly deflected each blow with his immense strength. Uh, in a swift motion, Dark Side retaliated, firing his Omega Beams that scorched the very air between them, catching Charlie off guard and engulfing him in a blinding pulse of destructive energy. I mean, that definitely captured some Omega Beams scorching the very air between them. Yeah, that could—you imagine one guy is like, "Ah, I'm going to hit you." And he just like punches him and Dark Side starts going uh nuclear and the very air begins warping around him and you're like, "Oh, I may have bitten off more than I could chew in this case." Is part three going to be where Charlie gets his the comeback of all comebacks? We'll see. As the smoke cleared, Charlie Brown lay defeated and motionless on the ground. A tragic reminder that even the most relentless spirit can fall before the might of a true cosmic force. Uh, Charlie Brown did not win. I have no idea what AI generated there. That is an astronaut who's ready, I think, to throw down at a party getting up off the floor. Like if he started dancing right there, the Thriller or something, that seems appropriate, especially with that big explosion in the background. Yeah, exactly. Did he blow up and then dance it off? Dark Side, the winner of the show. Charlie Brown, the winner of our hearts. Mr. Hardlock, you're getting this one back.
