So like, doesn't Shujinko kinda resist post of Paula's best attacks, like freezing?

Technically, the resistance isn’t on his profile.

I'm sure that by showing an obvious example of it you can still argue it on a debate... right?

I suppose so, I’ll respond later with analysis.

Pretty much every character in MK can break out of ice encasements created by Sub-Zero, so that seems to be a resistance to ice manipulation (again, not on profile, so bleh!).

I suppose I can quote myself from the last fight with Himiko for the run-down of his scaling and abilities:

"Shujinko's upscaling from that value goes:
7.33 Kilotons = Armageddon Shang Tsung < Deadly Alliance Shang Tsung < Quan Chi < Deadly Alliance Scorpion < Deception Scorpion < Shujinko."

"Shujinko has many abilities Himiko has no resistance to, like Absolute Zero Ice Manipulation from Sub-Zero, Hellfire that erupts from beneath his opponent from Scorpion, Telekinesis from Kenshi and Ermac (Shujinko's superior LS would be enough to hold her in place), blinding Light Manipulation from Hotaru, can summon lighting from the skys onto his enemies from Nightwold, stun-inducing Banshee Scream from Sindel, and Invisibility from his own stealth (I don't remember who taught him that).

(Note that Paula's superior LS would allow her to negate the telekinesis)

Not to mention that Shujinko can easily close the distance and force a hand-to-hand fight with his Teleportation that he learned from, well a lot of people actually."

"Very well, then allow me to present Shujinko's ace in the hole, which is a one-two punch.

First of all, as made obvious, he can duplicate powers he learns, but what is notable is that he consistently learns these abilities within single training sessions with others, which entail sparring and whatnot. Basically, if he sees the technique, his mimicry powers allow him to copy it. Himiko's gonna have to worry about plenty of her own techniques used against her, and keep in mind he can use powers from races he doesn't belong to (like Baraka) or born from circumstances he doesn't have to duplicate (like Scoprion's powers despite not being a spectre).

But second of all, he also can gain strength from other warriors and add it to his own, which he used to amp himself to destroy the Kamidogus and defeat Onaga. He doesn't even need to touch them to do this, he just has to choose to do so."

Also, for those who doubt Shujinko uses abilities from other characters:
"He used Nightwolf's skills against Shang Tsung and Ermac's skills against Noob,"

Let me know the specifics of Paula's powers, I'm particularly curious about her prayers.

Seems leaning Shujinko's way if no one's offering a rebuttal to Paula both profiles kinda suck so they're hard to work with

Yeaaaaah I was going to wait for Paula's side to argue, but thats taking a while and considering Shujinko can resist AZ, im going with him
