Greetings and Welcome to another edition of my Who Would Win Series and it is going to be a 2v2 Match up between Cream and Cheese from the Sonic the Hedgehog Series vs Minsc and Boo from Dungeons and Dragons.
My research time for this match up has been quite a ride even though, I haven't fully completed both Sonic the Hedgehog series and Dungeons and Dragons (There is like 1000000000 DnD material to go over hahaha). However, as it turns out, the blog is already giving a Definitive Victor since there are numerous factors to consider that ultimately tip the scales.
Stats, Weaponry, Abilities, and the Fight Segment.
It's time for a Battle Between two sides featuring adorable creatures!!!!
Cream and Cheese
Cream and Cheese are the Dynamic adorable duo from the legendary Video Game series, "Sonic the Hedgehog".
Daughter of one of Fiction's best Mother's "Vanilla the Rabbit", Cream is actually, you guessed it, an Anthromorphic Rabbit with adorable moments.
Also, Cheese, a Chao, is Cream's Best Friend who also happens to be undeniably loyal to Cream and her friends.
However, not all of Cream and Cheese's Story is All Cute and Relaxing, one time, The Evil Dr Eggman unleashed Chaos upon the World and it was up to Sonic and Friends (obviously Cream and Cheese) to save the day. Ultimately, well, for the most part, the Good Guys have prevailed time and time again.
Other background stuff for Cream and Cheese include the following
- Helping Sonic and Friends with many obstacles involving platforming and puzzle solving
- Became very close friends with Amy Rose (one time she bought pizza for them YAY!!!!!)
- Managed to use her adorable charms to convince a Robot not to "Throw the Ball too hard" in a Baseball Match
- Helped Amy and Big the Cat defeat Metal Overlord, Metal Sonic's Super Form
That is a simple background of Cream and Cheese. Let's look at what they can do
Physical Stats
In the Grand Scheme of things, Cream and Cheese are not really abundant in terms of Physical Stats. That said, they do have numerous feats that make them quite impressive, especially considering they are Sonic characters (A Universe that is quite potent in terms of Power)
Strength
- Can carry one of her friends while flying with her ears (Coming up).
- Reasonably scales to Amy Rose, who can smash Robots with her Hammer.
- Can also smash boulders with her Spin Attack
- Damaged Metal Overlord, who also withstood Megatons worth of Energy from the likes of Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and a team effort from Big the Cat and Amy Rose. Infact, Cream and Cheese were also part of the same fight against Metal Overlord.
- Can actually catch up to characters like Tails, Knuckles, Amy, even Sonic when he isn't trying to run.
- When flying, Cream as one of the fastest flight speeds amongst the Sonic Characters, rivaled only by Tails, Sonic and Shadow. This puts Cream at Super Sonic Speeds.
- Dodged Laser blasts from Robots and Turrets
- Can reasonably scale to her friends, who always took explosions to the face, boulders crushing them and survive, even attacks that can destroy a building.
- Survived Metal Overlord's Attacks. Which again, can cause Megatons worth of Energy and also severely harm characters who take Island Level Feats.
Flight: Cream and Cheese can fly. However, Cream uses her ears to flap and allow her to lift off the Ground with tremendous speed. This flight is a staple for Cream and Cheese's Mobility.
Spin Attack
The Spin Attack is another Staple in The Sonic Series and Cream also has this in the bag. The Spin Attack gives Cream a monumental boost in Speed and Attack Potency. So much so, that the Spin Attack can severely and outright destroy multiple Eggman Robots to the point it is the same comparable power to that of a Speeding Bullet Train. Yes. Cream, a cute Anthromorphic Rabbit, has the Power to break through a City if she wanted to. How devastating!!!!!
Note: While Cream can use Spin Attack, she doesn't have the same Speed Level as Sonic or Shadow. Infact, again, as mentioned in the Speed Section, Cream cannot Scale to the Full Potential of Sonic to begin with. That said, her Spin Attack still gives her a greater Speed Boost.
Also, with the Spin Attack, Cream and do.....
- Homing Attack to Track and hit Foes with Pinpoint Accuracy (Never Misses)
- Spin Jump, an Uppercut Styled Spin Attack. Amazing against Airborne Foes
- Spin Dash. The Speed Boost Ability that gives Cream a nice Mobility Upgrade for a moment
Cream can command Cheese to do some wonders. Mostly for Attack Purposes but the fact that Cheese is small but quite effective in combat, makes things quite unpredictable.
Cheese can Attack, Chase down and even hold enemies in place for Cheese's Friends to Capitalize.
Feats
Cream and Cheese are a Dynamic and Adorable Duo. Unfortunately their lack of Solo Feats do make them almost featless. However, unlike George Hancock and Shirley Fenette and Especially the Dreadful Donkey from All of Us are Dead and the Stinky Businessman from Train to Busan, Cream and Cheese are at least Far Above their power levels. Here is a Noteworthy List of Feats for Cream and Cheese.
- Has officially, and Cleanly, defeated Metal Overlord with Amy Rose and Big The Cat at their Side
- Helped Sonic with multiple Scenarios
- Defeated Eggman's Robots
- Is Close friends with Amy Rose and Big The Cat. However, Cream and Cheese also are good friends with Tails and Sonic. Knuckles? Yes!!!!
- Is by far and large, the most adorable Character in Sonic the Hedgehog Series
- Has one of the most adorable voices of all time :D!!!
- The Sonic the Hedgehog Series is Legendary.
Weaknesses
Because of the low amount of info for Cream and Cheese, they are not very noteworthy in terms of feats. Infact, Cream and Cheese rarely have the Combat Experience that makes them real warriors. They are efficient as Support Characters and they do have Stats to make them well above alot of characters, the sad part is, Cream and Cheese are one of the weaker Sonic characters outright.
Also, Cream and Cheese, while in a universe with so much potential with Power, are simply fodder in comparison to the likes of Sonic, Shadow, Eggman, Metal Sonic, Knuckles and even Tails. You could argue Amy Rose is their closest comparison but Amy actually has proper Combat Experience while Cream and Cheese are simply bystanders for most of their time.
Finally, Cream and Cheese's Cute Nature won't really work on Bloodlusted Foes. They can try, but ultimately, they would be vulnerable to all manner of harm to the point that a single mistake can cost them their lives.
Still, Cream and Cheese are very adorable and surprisingly Powerful.
Minsc and Boo
Minsc and Boo are two of many, many heroic characters in the Legendary Game Series "Dungeons and Dragons"
The Background for Minsc and Boo is extensive.
Minsc is a Human Ranger from the land of Rashemen and has undergone many adventures. At one time, he suffered a Head Injury that severely damaged his Mental Capacity to the point of being "Weak Willed". however, that never stopped Minsc from being a true Badass.
Eventually, he developed a romantic relationship with a Powerful Witch Named Dynaheir
Dynaheir |
With Dynaheir, Minsc and Boo travelled around the Forgotten Realms and undertook legendary adventures, including the Baldur's Gate Series that included the Child of Bhaal Saga and then the fact that Minsc and Boo returned in Baldur's Gate 3.
(Dynaheir Sadly Passed away before the events of Baldur's Gate 3)
At that point, Mind Flayers attempted to control the City of Baldur's Gate by abducting and then transforming captives into fellow Mind Flayers.......... Until Minsc and Boo and their fellow Adventurers put a stop to those plans..... Or, if you really want a true evil moment, control everyone with their Absolute Power of the Mind Flayer Parasite.....
MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
But nahh, That's not all.
Its Boo's Turn!!!! |
Boo is a Space Hamster, one of the most powerful creatures of the Dungeons and Dragons Universe that isn't a Dragon, Abberation, God or High Tier Undead.
Because of Boo's Space Hamster Physiology, he actually has a huge twist to his capabilities that make him one of the most underestimated creatures at a first glance (Coming up).
But background wise, Boo met Minsc around the time when Minsc suffered his Head Injury. And, Boo and Minsc became an inseperable duo that undertook multiple Adventures.
And, after Dynaheir's Passing, Boo still maintained an unbreakable friendship with Minsc and stayed loyal til eternity's end.
Thats a simple background for Minsc and Boo's story (Baldur's Gate Mainly). Lets see what they are capable of
Physical Stats
Minsc and Boo are one of the stronger characters of the Dungeons and Dragons Universe. However, they are not quite Godlike in terms of capabilities and they don't scale to the likes of Elminster, Tasha and Mordenkainan (Heck, if Minsc and Boo ever fought any of them, say goodbye to their wits and capabilities hahahahah)
That said, they still have alot of feats to pick up that make them Legendary.
Strength
Minsc opening a Mimic's Mouth from the Inside |
- Minsc can cleave three creatures at once with his Greatsword. The Cool part here is that he is cleaving through Plate Armor, Durable enough to withstand Dragon Bites, that can produce 700 000 Psi, the same amount of energy to crush an Aircraft Carrier
- Minsc can Throw Boo (Yes, Expect this to be a common theme hahaha) with Such force, Boo can then penetrate Magic Armor that is capable of Enduring Meteors and Dragon Breath Attacks.
- Minsc can open a Mimic from the Inside, which is a Magical Monster than can take the form of a Treasure Chest or anything it can "Mimic" in terms of appearance (Some Mimics can transform into a building)
- Can Carry over 2000 pounds of equipment all at once. Going over that can lead to encumberment.
- Comparable in Strength to Karlach, who was able to create Quakes in the Ground with her Slam attacks
- Can slice up Earth Elementals, who can also Transform into Metallic Elementals that are literally coated in "Armor".
- Can Slice up Dragon Skin. Durable enough to survive and shrug off Country Level attacks. However, that is only using the Younger Dragons. Older Dragons such as Adults and Ancient Dragons are outright Planet to Star Level.
- Boo is very fast. In the Spelljamer Modules, Space Hamsters power up the Spelljammer Ships by simply running in a Hamster Ball, this is important, because that same speed allows those Ships to traverse across Galaxies. That's Right, Boo has the Speed to go Way above Light Speed. And this is a Hamster that is now comparable in Speed to someone like Thor and Goku. I am serious!!!!!
- Minsc can dodge beams from Spectators, who are a Species of Beholder's.
- Can shoot down Pixies, who are fast enough to travel around countries in a time span of a few minutes. This puts Minsc at around Lightning to Hypersonic Speeds
- Took down so many teleporters, to the point that Minsc's Reaction to Teleporters is now a nice habit for him to counter teleportation
- Took........ Every single thing you can imagine..... which include
- Crushing, Piercing and Slashing Attacks
- Magic.... All Kinds of Magic
- Dragon Bites which again, 700 000 psi
- Dragon Breath Attacks
- Abberation Beams. One of them can cause instant Death and Petrification
- Soul Crushing Attacks
- Acid, Poison, Curses
- Mental Attacks
- Traps that can instantly kill a average joe
- Beasts
- Goblins
- Giants
- Dragons
- Undead
- Gloom stalker
- Beast Master
- Hunter
- Fey Wanderer
- Horizon Walker
- Swarmkeeper
- Monster Slayer
- Drake Warden
Minsc is armed with loads of weapons.
However, for the sake of Generalization, I only will list At least 2 Main Weapons for Minsc and also, nice throwables that can help him in combat.
The Greatsword is a Two-Handed Weapon and boy, in Dungeons and Dragons, they can deliver serious damage. So many Greatswords to name a few but generally, they have D10-D12 Hit Die that can make them quite a Potent Damage Dealing Weapon.
The Quintessential Weapon for the Ranger, the Bow is iconic in a sense that it gives the Ranger a wide range of versatility in terms of combat. With the Bow, Arrows obviously are the main type of ammo for it but it can also fire elemental and special arrows for many effects that are both game changing and outright devastating.
- Fire Arrows
- Ice Arrows
- Poison Arrows
- Explosive Arrows
- Tracking Arrows
- Light Arrows
- Thunder Arrows
- Paralysis Arrows
- Entangling Arrows
- Magic Nullification Arrows
There are alot more Arrow Types but these are the main types that are for General Purposes
Explosives
Well, Pretty self explanatory. You Throw an explosive and Kaboom XD!!!
- Dynamite
- Grenades
- Bombs
- Fire Bombs
- Ice Bombs
- Electrical Bombs
- Poison Bombs
- Magic Nullification Bombs
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One more Asset for Minsc......
BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Yep, Minsc not only is a loyal companion to Boo..... HE THROWS BOO!!!!!
GO FOR THE EYES BOO!!!! GO FOR THE EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
When Minsc throws Boo, he has a chance of actually "Blinding" the enemy for a full minute or longer. This gives Minsc a monumental opportunity to finish off an enemy. That's..... well. Game Ending.
Other Equipment
Aside from Weapons and Throwables, Minsc also has a nice bag worth of Consumables that help him and Boo against any foe. These include:
- Healing Potions
- Antidotes for Poisons and Negative Effects
- Resurrection Scrolls
- Magic Scrolls for Casting Magic for a One Time use
- Food and Water
- Camping Supplies for Long Rests
- Angelic Potions to Recover Health and Spell Slots
Skills
Minsc and Boo are a very adaptable duo for many situations. Minsc may be ideal for Combat and Exploration but Boo is very stealthy and very cunning with regards to Adventure and Dungeon Crawling.
Minsc also is very proficient in numerous skills such as Stealth, Athletics, Perception, Awareness, Dexterity and Wisdom Saving Throws and Tracking his foes with both his Ranger Skills and with Boo's Guidance.
Feats for Minsc and Boo
Minsc and Boo do have alot of fun feats to go over. Let's look at their resume.
- Have officially, and cleanly, defeated Sarevok Twice. The Brother of the Original Baldur's Gate Hero, The Child of Bhaal.
- Rescued the "Child of Bhaal" from potential Execution
- Helped the Adventurers in Baldur's Gate 3 defeat Orin the Red, Gortash, Raphael and the Elder Brain.
- Slew multiple Dragons, Abberations and Giants over the course of his adventures.
- Hunted Down Many Monsters and Bandits to the point that it is now a habit of Minsc and Boo
- Boo at one time became a Giant Space Hamster!!!!
Boo now a Giant!!!! |
- When you realize, Boo is one of the cutest characters of Dungeons and Dragons <3!!!!!
- Minsc is one of the best characters of the Forgotten Realms, charismatic and bold.
Weaknesses
Despite the numerous Skills and Power that Minsc and Boo possess, they are still beatable in many ways.
Sufficient Damage will force both to take a Death Saving Throw, they have at least three tries to roll successfully or risk death. Even still, a powerful attack can actually bypass the Death Saving Throws and simply kill them outright.
Also, Minsc and Boo are far from the Strongest characters of the Dungeons and Dragons Universe. As mentioned before, they simply cannot compete with the High Tier Class Characters and Monsters that are capable of Multiversal power. Infact, most of the "Dragon Slaying" feats for Minsc and Boo involve help from fellow Adventurers.
Speaking of Help, The Ranger Class actually is not very durable compared to the likes of Paladins, Barbarians, Fighters and, controversially, Druids and Clerics. They actually lack saving throws against Mental and Psychic Attacks (Without Specific Equipment that is).
Finally, Minsc and Boo simply lack proper offensive Magic that would have helped them do wonders. Granted, Minsc can use Magic Scrolls but they are a One time use so if he used one Spell with the Scroll, they are permanently gone afterwards. And sometimes, the Spells might even miss the target (Unless its Magic Missile)
Still, it goes without saying that Minsc and Boo are a dynamic and powerful duo :D!!!
The Fight
"Cream and Cheese are out and about in a building"
Cream: Yadada Yadada. Well, so much for Amy's Pizza time. I am just gonna relax right here
Cheese: CHA CHAO!!!!!!!!!
"Suddenly, the Door opens behind them"
Minsc: Boo sees something inside this building!!!
"Cream turns around"
Cream: Oh My!!!! Who are you????
Minsc: Why I am Minsc, and Minsc greets you. And Boo says Hello!!!!
"Squeak!!! Squeak!!!" |
Cream: Awwww, that is adorable!!!
Minsc: No, it is a Hamster. You should not be here!!!
Cream: Why is that?
Minsc: Because this place.......... is Boo's new home!!! Now get out of here before you regret it!!
Cream: Nobody talks to me like that!!!!
FIGHT!!!!!
"Cream launches Cheese towards Minsc"
Cream: Take this!!!
"Minsc quickly Moves back and throws Boo towards Cheese"
Minsc: Go for the Eyes Boo!!! GO FOR THE EYES!!!!!!!
"Boo and Cheese Collide. However, Boo ultimately breaks the deadlock and scratches at Cheese's Eyes
Cheese: CHA CHAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cream: Don't Worry, I am gonna turn this around.
"Cream then unleashes a Dash attack towards Minsc"
Spin Attack!!!! |
Minsc: What????
"Cream goes at such a high speed, Minsc is caught off Guard for a moment and is hit by the impact. This leads to the wall of the building getting smashed by Minsc and Cream's Impact and eventually, both of them are at the Forest. Meanwhile, Boo and Cheese are still fighting on"
Boo: "Squeak Squeak.... SQUEAK!!!!!!!"
Cheese: CHA CHAO!!!!
"Boo tries to claw at Cheese once more but this time, Cheese evades the attack and then pummel's Boo with a Hundred Crack Fist"
Cheese: CHA!!!!! CHAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Meanwhile, in the Forest"
Minsc: Ugh, so you are one fast Monster. I see your no weakling
Cream: Excuse me??? I am no Monster. I am a Rabbit!!!
Minsc: A Rabbit? What kind of Rabbit possesses Speed and Strength? Your a one of a kind!!!
Cream: And your just a bad bald guy wit-
"Minsc Pulls out his Greatsword"
Cream: Oh.......
Minsc: Now feel Minsc's Wrath!!!!
"Minsc charges towards Cream, however....
Flying!!!! |
Cream: haha!!!! Take that evil man!!!
Minsc: Clever, but your not gonna escape me!!!
"Minsc then pulls out his Bow and an Ice Arrow and.....
Cream: Owww!!!!!!
"Minsc, successfully passing an Attack roll, hits Cream with the Ice Arrow, effectively slowing her Down"
Minsc: Excellent, now I shall end you, monster!!!
"However, just as Minsc was about to pull out his Greatsword and slash at Cream........"
CHAO!!!!!!! |
Cheese: CHAO!!!!!!
"Cheese Lunges at Minsc and hits him with such force, he is knocked down"
"Cream, now in pain from the Ice Arrow, attempts to reunite with Cheese"
Cream: Ugh, I think we need to leave now Cheese
Cheese: Cha..... Chao!!!!
"However, as soon as both Cream and Cheese try to escape, Boo suddenly appears and quickly lunges towards Cream's Eyes and Blinds her"
Cream: UGHH!!!!!!!
Cheese: CHA CHAO!!!!!!!!
"Cheese once more, tries to attack Boo..... However....."
Minsc: Take..... This!!!!!
"Minsc Fires a Paralysis Arrow and..... Hits Cheese"
Boo: SQUEAK!!!!!
"Cheese, now damaged and Paralysed, looks on as Cream is utterly Defenseless. He then sees a Second Arrow behind Cream's Back, this time, with a Poison Effect"
Cream: Cheese........ Are you ok?????
Cheese: Cha....... Cha-
"Cheese slowly closes his eyes. Not only was he paralysed, he was damaged with a Lethal blow...... right through the heart. Thus, Cheese is lifeless in the ground"
Cream: Sorry........ I didn't mean to......
"Cream then falls to the ground, motionless and without a pulse"
Boo: SQUEAK!!!!!!
Minsc: Well, that about does it............... But, I don't think this is the right way to go..... After all, they were trying to protect themselves from harm and that deserves alot of Respect. What say you Boo???
Boo: Squeak!!!!! Squeak!!!!
Minsc: Well then, let's do this....
"Minsc pulls out two Ressurection Scrolls from his Bag and uses them on both Cream and Cheese. Both of the come back to life"
Alive and Kicking!!!! |
Cream: Huh???????? What happened?
Minsc: You and your Friend were slain by Boo and Minsc, but, because of how overly protective you were together, we felt that you two deserve a second chance in life. I am sorry for attacking you both.
Cream: Oh, Thank you. I am also Sorry for invading your Hamster's New Home
Minsc: Haha, it is all fine, Infact, we can share it with you Two if you like???
Yeah!!!!!! |
"In the end, Cream, Cheese, Minsc and Boo have a strong friendship and over the next couple of years, undertook many, many adventures across the Forgotten Realms and the Sonic Universe....... To the point, that Minsc also helped Sonic and Friends defeat Eggman's Robots with Boo's Amazing Power.... Who can now be......"
Boo, now permanently a Huge Space Hamster thanks to Biology!!! |
K.O!!!!!!!!
While Cream and Cheese are a duo with a good level of power...... Minsc and Boo are simply far too much for them to handle in all categories.
You would think as Sonic Characters, Cream and Cheese have the Speed edge, but as it turns out, Minsc and Boo have them beat in that regard. While Cream and Cheese are Super Sonic to Hypersonic Characters at best, Minsc and Boo fought beings who are able to go at Faster than Light Speeds on a regular basis. And that alone is more than enough to end the fight right here.
It also doesn't help that Minsc and Boo are way more varied in terms of Arsenal. They have a bucket load of Throwables that are ideal against Cream and Cheese's Speed anyway.
With regards to Strength and Durability, both Minsc and Boo survived far worse punishment than Cream and Cheese, given that they fought Dragons, Beholders, Undead, Pixie's with Magic, Magic Users. So really, Cream and Cheese, while ok in terms of Durability, since they can scale to Sonic characters that survive city block level power, cannot compare to Country Level power Durability. And Cream and Cheese are not even close in terms of Strength since they barely have notable Strength feats that are comparable to that of slicing Dragon Skin and Elemental Armor.
Cream and Cheese
+Flight Gave Cream a Mobility Advantage
-Outright crushed otherwise
Minsc and Boo
+Simply too powerful
-Can't Fly without certain Magic Items.
In the end, Minsc and Boo are simply too powerful, Too versatile and, two adventurers who "Caused a Sonic Boom"
The Winners are Minsc and Boo |
Next time on Who Would Win.........
Vs.....................
