Lina Inverse vs Dr. Strange

[Giovanni Rild]

Fight takes place in Slayersverse. Both have normal gear. Who wins?

[A]

Strange snaps his fingers and Lina get's traped in Strange's dimention.

Wait ... Is Giga slave's limit planetary or universal destruction?

Everything, universal. Fight won't be that quick anyway

[A]

Everything, universal. Fight won't be that quick anyway
Wait ... So why didn't the Giga slave cast by Lina-L-sama on Hellmaster Phibrizzo destroy so much?
And wasent it: Giga Slave - could destroy the world if miscast.

[Rice Ball]

I don't like the way every single battle with Lina Inverse in it, peopel always say 'she'll Win, she'll use : Giga Slave '

Its like saying Thanos will use HOTU every battle or the reality gem.

It would destroy the world, and then more. In the alternate reality deal when Lina was showed what would happen when the Giga Slave was miscast, it seemed to be more on a galactic scale if anything.

And the Giga Slave isn't neccessarily always an explosive spell, against Hellmaster Phibrizzo, it summoned the Lord of Nightmares into Lina's body. She didn't need to blow up the world to simply destroy Hellmaster Phibrizzo, I don't recall it destroying anything at all really save for him, which resulted in his spell to be unravelled.

The only comics I've read containing Doctor Strange, he didn't necessarily do a whole lot, so I don't know who would win since I don't know much about Doctor Strange (or Lina Inverse for that matter, while I've watched all the series, I've only read the first two novels so far, which doesn't cover up to the Phibrizo part, and there might be some difference as I believe even the entirety Try is complete "filler", though I could be wrong).

Wouldn't most Battledome topics be with the person using all their abilities unless a restriction in stated by the topic creator? She's known the Giga Slave since the beginning of the series, and even mentioned testing it herself, though she doesn't use unless absolutely necessary.

Try was all written by Kanzaka, the original author. He just didnt write it in novel form.

You're right. If miscast, the spell could destroy everything, which is what Phibrizzo was counting on. What he didnt count on was Lord of Nightmares going like "Aw hell naw" and taking over Lina's body.

shell be dead before she casts giga slave...and even if she does strange might be able to take l-sama's power and place in the universe.

[Wesley]

Already had one vs. Strange, along with Saint of Killers and Ruby-eye taking him. My conclusion was that Strange is a plot device, who is both limited and unlimited in what he can do depending upon what is needed for the story to progress.

Strange cannot take an omnipotent beings powers. That'd be like saying Strange > TOAA.

[Dr.Douchebag]

lina is pretty much omnipotent in her universe when she will cast her giga slave
so i guess lina FTW

[Wesley]

Lina does not equal L-sama. She has to have a pure heart and a pure intent when she's invoking L-sama. The one time the spell worked as has been advertised she had been put through weeks of psychological torment, which ended with all of her friends being killed one by one right in front of her without being able to do anything about it, and finally having her Goury being threatened with a final, absolute death.

In the final moments she wanted more then anything to save him. Nothing else mattered and she acted without any hesitation. That's why L-sama saw fit to intervene personally.

Putting Lina in that state of mind again is probably impossible. Even if you killed all her friends and even Goury she wouldn't be able to cast a successful Giga Slave.

I don't recall it being stated she had to have a pure state of mind to cast it. Either way, going by the anime (I checked the novel summary, not sure how accurate as it was on a fansite, and the events at that point seem different in the novel than in the anime), had Lord of Nightmares not intervened, the Giga Slave would've simply have gone out of control, which is the same result, just that she won't be alive in the end, so a draw as opposed to an outright win.

[Orion]

she still wont have time to cast it though dude dr strange would alrdy be pwning the shit outta her before she even gets a chance to start trying to cast giga slave.

[The Space Cowboy]

Strange is probably a better sorcerer, but Lina has a bigger...arsenal. It's skill vs raw power.

[Wesley]

Strange is a plot device.

[Orion]

nothing short of a l-sama giga slave will do anything to strange.

[Wesley]

Unless she punches him. Lina's got a great right hook.

[Enclave]

Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme. You don't usually want to use magic on him.

Besides you said regular equpment, that means Strange gets the Eye of Agamotto, Wand of Watoomb, and a whole load of other incredibly powerful artifacts.

[~Shin~]

Can't Dr. strange just unite with eternity and utterly wtf pwn lina before she can do anything?

[Gunshin]

Problem there is that Lina can unite with the Lord of Nightmares or use the powers of the Lord of Nightmares who is omnipotent aka the Slayersverse version of TOAA.

[~Shin~]

Does eternity even come near the powers of LoN?

[Gunshin]

Does eternity even come near the powers of LoN?
Eternity is nigh-omnipotent. LoN is omnipotent.

[A]

Eternity is nigh-omnipotent. LoN is omnipotent.

LoN control's 4 universes ... Eternity one ...

But why is she even in this battle?
Isn't it Lina versus Strange ... ?

[Orion]

^^idk...she still wont win she will be long dead before she has a chance to cast giga slave....and no other spell of hers with do anything to him.

[SoulTaker540]

I thought Lina now refuses to use Giga Slave because of the collateral damage of the technique.If thats the cae then unless she is blood lusted then Giga Slave shouldn't come into play.

[~Shin~]

Gigaslave is never in play. Ppl don't understand that gigaslave requires a prettly long incantation. Dr. Strange can kill her before she's even done with the spell since he's also a magic user he'll know it's a incantation and stop her.

[Wesley]

I still say she punches him and it's over.

[Endless Mike]

Except if you interrupt the Giga Slave chant before it's over, the universe dies.

[notme]

I have a question. Wikipedia says that Dr. Strange has shown the ability to both stop and rewind time, but it also says that on another occassion he said such a feat was impossible. So which is it?

If Strange can go back in time then Lina is completely screwed. Even if she starts the incantation for Giga Slave, Strange could go back and kill her without worrying about interrupting the chant.

[Endless Mike]

Well he's done it, many times in fact, so he can.

[Wesley]

Well he's done it, many times in fact, so he can.

Except when he can't.

[Endless Mike]

Which is contradicted by the greater number of times when he can.... with ease.
