watching at how sagozo beat the sh!t out of the owl yummi made me think about wich type of combos has advantage over the other...
in other words, i think it shoud go like this
Combo Advantage over
Gatakiriba Shauta, ratoratar
Ratoratar Sagozo, Shauta
Sagozo Tajadoru, gatakiriba
Shauta Tajadoru, sagozo
Tajador Gatakiriba, Ratoratar
putotyra pwns everyone
burakawani ??????
about gatakiriba (a combo that i see as based on pure offensive capabilities, all his medals have offensive powers, together with his power to multiply himself we should get a really high dps. on the other hand he doesnt seem to have a lot of defensive measures, he can indeed jumo but never used it to evade attacks...), his advantage over shauta is purely speculative, mainly given the fact that it can attack with lighting, while shauta can turn into water...well, its pretty obvius how that would end.
against ratoratar i think it comes down to the fact that gatakiriba use of lighting can neglect the speed of ratoratar (nothing is faster that lighting), if we also take into account the ability to make clones...
with ratoratar (a combo based mainly in speed and agility but with low resistance, kinda like a rogue in mmo) it was pretty easy, when he first pops up, due to elemental advantage (heat versus water) he damaged mezool, and in every fight eiji uses sagozo medals againt cazali he is no match for the greeds speed and agility.
sagozo (the "tank" combo) i think is the combo with the least screen time. i can only base mi assumption of his advantage over tajador based mainly in his fight against the owl yummi, the gravity manipulating abilities where crucials. in melee, whyle tajadoru can easily keep up and even overpower cazali and uva, the sheer strenght of the gorilla arms and zhou proved too much for the owl yummi, i think we could get the same situation in a fight involving tajadoru vs gamel. and even if tajadoru can keep the distance to avoid melee, (firing his special ability or using the taja spinner) sagozo can counterattack with the rocket (gorilla) punch.
his advantage over gatakiriba is even more speculative, given the fact that i can see no way for gatakiriba to keep the melee fight with sagozo, mainly because gatakiriba is the combo with less defensive resources, not a very high phisical resistance and he is not agile. it would be esay for sagozo to keep him on melee range (gravity control) and in there just beating the sh1t out off him.
shauta was also pretty difficult, since it was not used very much againts other types off greeds. he has elemental advantage against tajadoru (water vs fire) and the ability tu turn into water can easily help in evading tajadorus ranged attacks. also, the whips can be used against flying targets, that has been demonstrated in the series.
with sagozo, the tako legs can counter the gravity manipulation (wich is sagozos main tool for keeping his targets at melee range), and the whips can indeed damage sagozo at distance. until now we havent seen shachis special ability (although i think it would be water manipulation, based on the episode where eiji and ankh escape from lankh). sagozos rocket punch would be useless when shauta turns into liquid.
with tajadoru it was difficult. its the only combos that ahs shown weakness to his own types of greeds. perhaps every combo is weak to his own type, but we cant confirm that. its a combo base on ranged attacks and also has the ability to make devastating attacks with the giga scan. also we have seen tajadoru keeping up in melee against uva and cazali, even overpowering them. i think that tajadorus ability to fly while attacking targets with high precision (because of taka head) would give him a decisive advantage againt both gatakiriba and ratoratar, i cannot imagine how they would counter attack effectively.
as you can see, this is mainly specultaive and based on imaginary scenarios. but i would like to debate my conclusions.
