Debate Week Season 6! Day 4: SpaceGodzilla vs Destoroyah!

Since SpaceGodzilla was killed by a few hits of the spiral-beam, and Destroyah tanked them, I would have to say Destroyah beats him in durability. Destroyah's laser horn did slice through Burning Godzilla, so SpaceGodzilla would be screwed if Destroyah can get up close. SpaceGodzilla would fortify himself in the crystals, and they would keep generating power, so he might be able to throw Destroyah with his telekinesis. Destroyah might try to overwhelm SpaceGodzilla by breaking down into his crab form, but SpaceGodzilla could block them by generating a shield. Destroyah is weak to extreme temperature, so the corona beam could do severe damage to him. If Destroyah can initiate melee combat, he could use the laser horn to destroy the shoulder crystals, dooming SpaceGodzilla to death. It all depends on multiple factors, and I say this is a great match up. 

Space-Godzilla has a wide range of variable abilities to keep his opponents off -balance, but Destroyah is just a massive powerhouse in every regard, even moreso than Godzilla himself. Overall, though, I'd say Destroyah has this. He can tank much more effectively than Godzilla, which means he can withstand Space-Godzilla's onslaught better, and get in close to do some real damage.

Plus, Space-Godzilla's only methods of escape are hiding behind crystalline energy shields and flying into space. Destroyah is quite fast in flight, smart enough to not attack the shields, and strong enough to resist Space-Godzilla's less-than-standard abilities like telekinesis and crystal missiles long enough to go in for the kill.

Well I think it depends on which type of spacegodzilla, the one when he just landed and wasent as powerful? Of the one when he was in the city with all his power?

if he just landed Destroyah would kill him, his beam and lazer horn could go through his defences and kill him

But in the city, spacegodzilla could just keep on hammering destroyah with the crystles and beams to take him out, but destroyah could still get up close and get him to.

I think people are discounting the fact that Space Godzilla got shot by the spiral ray after he had both his shoulder crystals destroyed and had an incredibly long battle with both Godzilla and MOGUERA. I would still put Destoroyah on the next level in terms of durability but it'd be close, especially since Space Godzilla has the superhealing he got from Biollante and Godzilla. 

The fight would be pretty close, Destoroyah was one of the more melee orientated heisei monsters while SpaceGodzilla is all about long range and bombarding you with basically everything. His corona beam, crystals, telkinesis, he even had a shield that reflected things back. His armament is pretty huge. The question is if Destoroyah could get close enough to use his horn. Since Destoroyah is the most durable monster in the series I'd suspect he could. Space Godzilla is one of the smartest monsters in the series. In hiss movie it was made clear that they had to destroy the Fukuoka Tower to beat him. I wonder if Destoroyah would come to that kind of a conclusion he strikes me as more of a brute force type monster than one to come up with a plan. Even if he does realized to destroy Space Godzilla's power source there's the question of if he could it took a three pronged attack to take down the tower last time.

Overall I think Destoroyah comes out on top, but due to his superior intellect and ability to craft strategies, Space Godzilla has a chance to win too.

I'd probably hand it to Destroyah, but maybe that is influenced by SG's slow-pokery in the video games. 

Still, it would be a hell of a mashup fight!

Destoroyah.

Yeah, SpaceGodzilla has his beams and levitation, but Destoroyah can actually fly. It could fly over to SpaceGodzilla and hit his shoulder crystals with its Oxygen Destroyer Beam. Plus, SpaceGodzilla can't launch ice or pure coldness.

This is almost like asking who would win between super Godzilla and Bagan. I actually feel like this is a draw. Both are Godzillas toughest opponents, both are powerful, both are the same height and weight. In the end, destroyah comes out on top. But barely. Spacegodzilla would seriously injure destroyah.

I would have to say Destroyah, at the same time Spacegodzilla could win as well.  Therefore either one could possibly win

Reasoning: Destroyah is a Sadist.  He enjoys causing pain to others.  He reavils in his opponets pain, suffering, and eventual death.  So much that he could easily become careless (and overly cocky) and forget to outright destroy his opponet if they are a viable threat.  Spacegodzilla is one such threat.  Destroyah might figure out to destroy the crystals on Spacegodzilla's shoulders, but then revel too long in causing him pain.  This might allow Spacegodzilla to escape, recover, and turn the tide of the battle.

I mostly agree with what Heiseiking said, would Destroyah be facing off against Spacegodzilla after just arriving on Earth, or after Spacegodzilla made a fortress?  Either way the fight would be very close.  Might even end in a draw for all we know.

How is SpaceGodzilla different from when he firsted landed and later on in the film? Just because you don't see the true power of him at the beginning doesn't make him different.

       If Spacegodzilla can find a suitable place to generate his energy like the Kukuoka Tower, I'd say his chances of victory are greatly increased. He could bombard Destroyah with his ranged attacks, although it would take a while to bring him down since Destroyah's only apparent weaknesses are severe cold and intense heat. 

       Onto Destroyah. It has insane durability, yes. It also possesses the micro-oxygen beam, which could eventually wear down on Spacegodzilla. And let's not forget; Destroyah has the ability to break down it's final form and revert back to its original forms, healing it in the process. Would Spacegodzilla be able to withstand a swarm of aggregates, which gave even Burning Godzilla some trouble? I would love to see Destroyah top another kaiju by not using brute force, but dissolving into its most primitive form and eat the hapless victim from the inside out.

Sci-Fi King, SpaceGodzilla can fly arguably better than Destoroyah since he flew who knows how far from his original place of creation to Earth.

I'd put my money on Destroyah, every time.
