Rodan vs King Ghidorah

[PopInPicsPresents]

This is where my opinions differ with most of the fandom. Really, how much stronger is Heisei Godzilla compared to Showa?

Beams. Yeah, they're about the same. Same general explosion size, same general effectiveness on enemies. One just looks cooler than the other.
Melee. Heisei has the advantage in strength of course, but Showa has speed, exceptional melee skills, and intelligence on his side. Over all, Showa is a much better melee fighter than Heisei is.
Durability. Sure, Heisei Godzilla swam in the mantle. While Showa Godzilla took mountain cutting beams, missiles that could rip entire city blocks from the earth, acid strong enough to bring down a building in it's gas form, etc. They are equal here.
Regeneration: Heisei has the advantage in this department.
Intelligence: Showa, no contest. And this here plays a big part in battles.
Nuclear pulse: Only Heisei has this.

Yeah, there would be no domination what so ever. They equally tough in differing ways. truthfully, aside from the whole swimming under the mantle scenario, Heisei Godzilla hasn't done anything all that special.

(Breathes in, breathes out)

NO.

Heisei Godzilla's Atomic Ray actually blows stuff up. Showa Godzilla's ray sets stuff on fire. Melee? A shove from Heisei Godzilla would put Showa on his ass, while the useless kung-fu would do what exactly to Heisei? Intelligence? Showa is smarter but not by a lot. Durability? (sigh) Cutting through a kaiju is MUCH harder then cutting through a mountain. And FYI, it wasn't a mountain it was a pillar-esc rock formation. His only real impressive durability feat is having a few Finger Missiles down his throat. And let's just think about this for a second okay? Heisei Godzilla, swam under the skreeonk mantle. Rodan is easily considered as durable as Godzilla in the Showa series right? Rodan died in a Volcano, well actually in a small stream of lava. Heisei Godzilla slept inside a volcano for around 5 years. He had acid spit directly into his face and that didn't faze him. Also, I'm willing to bet 3 Plasma Grenades would out right decimate Showa Godzilla and just about any other Showa kaiju.

^This. I could easily see Heisei Godzilla dominating Showa Godzilla. And Showa Goji would easily be taken out by the Plasma Grenade.

Um, no. Heisei Godzilla would win but Showa Godzilla is still gonna give him hell. This is the same dude who picks up and throws Zone Fighter monsters who have a mass of 80,000 tons. Heisei Godzilla has a mass of 60,000 tons, so Showa is still gonna be throwing him around before he dies.

But I do agree with the PG killing him in a few hits.

[Kaiju-King42]

The plasma gernade kills most things without insane regeneration in a few hits.

tell that to Rodan, who could survive a point-blank PG. Yeah it blew open his chest and KOed him for awhile, but it didn't kill him instantly. One would give Rodan credit on his part for that. And yeah, I do agree that Showa Godzilla ould give Heisei hell. Now that I think about it, I think Showa Goji could take on some of the Heisei kaiju.

Way to contradict yourself.

I see KG winning. Rodan is a tough kaiju, but KG is capable of firing 3 beams at once, and proved a formidable fighter with and without control. Rodan could have an advantage in close quarters, but KG will spam Rodan with gravity beams.
