We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

One of the impossible matchups would be the Cruiser vs the Chmmr. The best you can do is about 4 damage, twice if you're lucky.

Untrue, though it requires some extreme luck for the Cruiser with gravity whips to keep out of the Avatar's reach, while it slowly tries to knock out the sats. Once the sats are down, it becomes much more managable (though still very difficult) to bring down the Avatar's crew complement. I'm embarassed to admit I was once on the losing end of this matchup with the Avatar, though I've never managed to be on the winning end with the Cruiser.
However, the best plan of action is to avoid using Cruisers against Avatars.

Not quite. The sats only intercept missile inside their "circle of death." So if you time launches just right, the missiles will impact against the sats themselves without being shot down. After a long game of keep-away and whittling down those sats with the occasional hit, you will eventually be able to knock a hole in the wall and start potentially doing damage to the Avatar itself. Not a good plan, but it is possible.

As I said, extreme luck. Get the Cruiser moving fast enough, though, and the tractor will be hard pressed to drag it around much.
Realistically, though, I generally just charge in and try to get my double missile hits in before I'm vaporized. Attempting to win this battle really is an excersize in frustration.

Inbetween Avatar vs. Cruiser, I propose two more 'impossible' battles:
Scout vs. Scout. Barring someone failing to throw their last switch, both scouts are going to explode...
Avatar vs. Podship. Not sure if this is truly impossible, but like the Cruiser the Mycon don't have sufficient engine power to argue much with the tractor. They DO have the plasma blast, but given the Avatar's turning rate the main laser is sufficient to keep them from impacting the ship. My runs are showing that using the laser this way isn't enough drain on the battery to make tractoring problematic. Still, perhaps this is only 'extremely hard' rather than outright impossible.

It's quite possible to win as a Mycon against an Avatar. You'll be able to circle indefinitely if you survive the Chmmr initially.

1) The Arilou can teleport away before the glory device detonates. That's one of my fun pastimes actually. 2) Agreed. 3) Agreed. 4) What about Y-form? 5) Agreed. 6) A fully crewed Slylandro will die against a Shofixti glory device. 7) Agreed.  Agreed.
1.)How is this possible to work? I thought that the Glory Device deals damage immediately after you press Secondary the third time?
4.) I meant with that that when the X-form is set to Easy difficulty (cannot change forms) and undercrewed, it cannot win against a detonating Shofixti.
