Guild Wars 2

If Mr Sparkles and Scruffy had a match against each other, who do you think would have the advantage? My money is definitely on Mr. Sparkles due to him having AI whereas Scruffy is basically a bipedal tank for Taimi.

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen Mr Sparkles in combat, but it seems that he was just a standard “smash enemy with fists” golem. Scruffy has some extra abilities like granting Protection, which might make all the difference.

Mr Sparkles can also grant Protection as well, and both have that “cone spray” attack (uncertain to what it does…I think it just inflicts vulnerability) Personally, I’d prefer Mr. Sparkles, but no way to tell who’d win at this point. Although, it hardly matters since Mr. Sparkles and Zojja haven’t been on-screen anywhere since Victory or Death.

Mr. Sparkles > Scruffy

“Flummox needed money Sareb sold the golem to Zojja, who has heavily customized it and currently owns it.”

I don’t particularly remember how strong the old Mr. Sparkles was, but if Zojja made modifications it must be powerful. Scruffy is used more for its utility and as a form of protection/transportation for Taimi. While Taimi may be smart she still can’t compare to Zojja in terms of combat experience or intellect.

Zojja > Taimi any day

Scruffy to destroy Mr Sparkles and Tiami to beat Zojja in a battle of wits

i think scruffy would end up donning the behind hat!

When you make an Asura character in Dynamics, you win the Snaff Prize with the Massively Improved Golem. It has a ‘biomagical psionic mind link’.

If Scruffy is fitted with this, and Mr Sparkles is not since it was created before the character’s story line, Scruffy would almost certainly win thanks to it’s superior pilot-Golem interface.

Zojja > Taimi any day

Before Zojja got it Mr Sparkles was strong enough to defeat a jotun chieftain with a single attack… and then defeated the rest of the jotun by blowing up (but of course, it could be attributed to the sub standard materials used in creating the crystal that powered it up).

That said, I’d give the edge to Scruffy based on two things.

First, Mr Sparkles is mostly autonomous, working on its own AI, Mr Sparkles, while it can do that as well (we have no idea how the AI compares to each other, though), it usually fights with Taimi inside controlling it. No matter how good an AI is, it’s no match for an actual asura intellect calling the shots.

Second is the personality of the creators. Both are genius level golemancer, but while Zojja does have the experience advantage, she also strikes me as a responsible type of person that wouldn’t use any modifications on Mr Sparkles unless she was completely sure it was 100% tested and would work perfectly and safely (for those not being targeted by Mr. Sparkles at least). Taimi, on the other hand, is a reckless teenager that would probably add a nuclear device to Scruffy if she came across one just to see what it does. Personally I think that Scruffy would have more firepower than Mr. Sparkles and would be able to overpower it…. as long it doesn’t break apart first, the same points that make me believe Scruffy is more powerful also makes me think it’s more prone to falling apart (we saw it at least once).

I have a hard time believing Zojja would ever let Taimi’s golem beat up Mr. Sparkles.

If she did, however, we could safely interpret that as a sign of affection for the little tike.

^ This. I think giving who Zojja is, it is safe to assume that she has some tricks up her sleeves that we haven’t seen just yet. She doesn’t strike me as the type to play all her cards at once.
