RULES:

Cloud Nine is in his Pre-Hyper Blue key
Charlotte's Portal Manipulation/Dimensional Travel + all attached abilities are restricted. Charlotte will have no equipment. Cloud Nine's Temperature Manipulation & Transmutation is also restricted. This will make this match inapplicable to profiles.
Anything above 7-C is restricted and starting distance is 10 meters
Speed is equalized

NOTES:
Charlotte has a 9.876x AP advantage

Both have equal Stamina

Cloud Nine has the LS advantage
Cloud Nine has the IQ advantage
 
Cloud Nine could regenerate from some hits and realize he needs distance, and use restraining moves like his crystal restraints, a beam or cold plasma arrow that acts like a heat sink to Flash freeze whatever is hit by the beam or make a AOE flash freeze explosion, use his electromagnetic fields to hold them in place (Electromagnetic field manipulation is useful here because she's a robot)
 
Also, Nine’s regen should only help him take blows if they likely weren’t already targeting anything vital since High Low regen only accounts for minor organ damage. If Charlotte lands a decent hit on Nine before he realizes that “oof ouch she makes my bones feel funny”, he’d be donezo.

I’ll look more into how their abilities interact later since I’m a little busy and am just dropping by to see the thread : P sorry for not, like, bringing up a 100% foolproof argument for Charlotte winning within a nanosecond accounting for every clash of powers or anything
 
His 160,000 times brain processing speed helps him here. Plus his chaotic adaptable intelligence, fighting more with speed, agility to avoid hits

Helps he also has the LS advantage too
 
Also he DID beat down a one arm no powers human Homelander in his base form where he is basically a no powers human whos 5'6", 90 pounds with nothing but pure skill making up a power gap between him and a 5'10" dude

Not to mention even in Hyper form Homelander with his powers could physically overpower him (Like with Soldier Boy in a 1v1) and with skill and versatility he always used that power against him, like grabbing his fist, leaning into it and uppercut him away with a blast of plasma from his fist. He always loves taking advantage of his agility, like when he dodged Homelander flying at him to get the V1 from Cloud Nine's hand and then Cloud Nine grabbing his boot and spin throwing him into Soldier Boy. Plus dealing with the Tank (Shoot a beam at Soldier Boy to incace him in crystal temporary) to focus on Homelander's perdictable swings and lunges with his agility

helps his arms and legs are long, helps his reach
 
Cloud Nine could regenerate from some hits and realize he needs distance
Problem is, Charlotte kind of one shots him, High-Low Regen isn’t doing too much for Cloud here if Charlotte can just reduce him to paste with one attack.
Would electricity absorption help her against this? Also I thought Charlotte would have an immunity to EMPs like Game Master, but ig she doesn’t have it on her profile
Game Master isn’t actually immune to EMPs, they just couldn’t actually reach him due to his passive forcefield. Though the fact that Charlotte could absorb Cuphead’s Electro-Bolt, the same one that completely fried and reduced one of Charlottes Drones to charcoal, rather than be harmed by it should mitigate the emp.

There’s also the fact of

(Electromagnetic field manipulation is useful here because she's a robot)
Charlotte is NOT a robot, she’s more akin to a fleshy sphere surrounded by a robotic shell. EMPs work by releasing a pulse, which passes through wires, cables, or circuit board traces. Said pulse then forces a sudden, massive electric current through these wires, which causes the whole “short-circuiting” part. Problem is, Charlotte’s main shell doesn’t really have all of that, at least I think? And the rest of her body is just made up of portal energy, so even if Charlotte’s Electricity Absorption wouldn’t work here, there’s not much to even fry in the first place.
 
There’s also the fact she’d know literally EVERYTHING about him with her info-analysis the moment she sees even a glimpse of his face, so she’d be able to plan accordingly based on not only his powers, but his way of fighti
 
I mean Cloud Nine did use his electromagnetic field manipulation on Homelander to drag him down to the ground. So it'd still work

Cloud Nine's chaotic intelligence is such that Sage admits she can't predict what Cloud Nine would do all thanks to his non linear thinking + 160,000 times brain processing speed

For reference this is Sage's intelligence:
Former Powers

Superhuman Intelligence:
Sister Sage possesses superhuman intelligence powers, making her the smartest person in the world.[1] At the age of eleven, Sage, after studying for three days, discovered the cure for Stage 3 chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Another example is how she was able to accurately deduce that Homelander had an enlarged prostate by observing how clean his hands were. She also ran a successful propaganda campaign against Starlight and her supporters using disinformation and marketing techniques. She later claimed that if she wanted to, she could cure cancer and stop global warming through her intellect, but due to her misanthropy, she doesn’t even bother. She is self-taught and trained in almost every intellectual field she has studied and researched. She was able to place Homelander in a position of control over the country simply because she wanted to test her superpower. She managed to replicate the experiment the russians did on Soldier Boy in Kimiko in just a few hours.
  • Empathic Accuracy: Due to her immense understanding of psychology, she has an uncanny ability to gauge the mental state of others, making her a master manipulator. She instantly understood Homelander was scared of his mortality. She would later use this ability to figure out the psychological stress that Mother's Milk was under and induce a panic attack in him to create an opportunity to escape.
  • Hypercognition:
    Sage's hyperactive multitasking (reading while listening to a podcast), something impossible to humans

    Sage can process information much faster and more efficiently than normal humans, allowing her to take in seemingly all the information she is presented with. This is demonstrated by her ability to simultaneously speed-read a book while listening to a sped-up lecture. She also noticed that Homelander was dyeing his hair more often, despite presumably never having met him in real life.
  • Telepathic Resistance: Sage has the ability to resist the abilities of telepaths like Ashley, preventing them from reading her mind. As demonstrated when Ashley tried to read her mind, Sage’s superhuman Intelligence acts as a deterrent against psychic mind readers, as her mind is too vast and complex for them to read and attempting to do so may cause them severe migraines from entering her psyche.
  • Photographic Memory: Sister Sage's has a photographic memory, allowing her to recall the past in incredible detail. Before losing her powers, Sister Sage had Othello memorized, but could no longer recall an exact quote once she was depowered. Sage describes her brain as previously having been "so loud" with all of the knowledge that she had.

First parts fair I suppose, but Charlotte wouldn’t really need to predict what he’s doing, she’d just be wary of his abilities and how he fights.

Also, if I can ask, how can he harm Charlotte? Because as of right now, Charlotte not only one shots him into paste, but Charlotte also stone walls the phooey out of Cloud Nine here. His Temp Manip ain’t viable here, so he can’t torch Charlotte, I don’t know how well his durability manip would work against something that only really has an organic head, plus I’m not sure he’d even try it again after seeing it just doesn’t work on Charlotte’s body, he’s got no way of knowing that “Charlotte” is actually a little meat circle located at the head of the body.

Also, if he tries using his Danmaku, Charlotte could potentially just shapeshift her enter body into the plasma blasts, and just replicate all of the plasma blasts and send them right back at him. He HAS Attack Reflection yeah, but from what I’m seeing he doesn’t have the necessary feats to back up redirecting hundreds of projectiles at once.

If he decides to do something like this as a means of suffocating her, it wouldn’t do much to Charlotte as she’d scale to other drones who can survive in space.

Add all of that to the fact she could just fill the horizon with portal energy by smelting the planet, and that it’d only take ONE hit or even just one energy blast to reduce him to paste, I dunno if Cloud’s got this one. I’m leaning towards Charlotte.
 
The good old... lifting strength meta, sealing, dodging to outlast with agility once he sees his plasma blasts ain't doing anything, crystal restraints, a beam or cold plasma arrow that acts like a heat sink to Flash freeze whatever is hit by the beam or make a AOE flash freeze explosion, use his electromagnetic fields to hold them in place
 
A lot of Cloud’s wincons seem like things he’ll likely try doing after realizing that “hey this robot is completely tanking my attacks”, which may take a few blows for him to realize. Comparatively, Charlotte’s wincon of smacking him (or any of her other stuff like the projectile reflection + danmaku storm) would both work and is what she’d go for out of the gate, and her Info Analysis would allow her to be wary of Cloud’s wincons.

It’s a close debate but to me it just seems that, since Charlotte will be more likely to use her wincons before Cloud + she’ll be wary of his wincons, she’s more likely to win. I’ll still wait before voting, though, since as I said it’s a close debate and there may be counters to this line of thinking as well.
 
Couldn't Cloud Nine just, hold her with Electromagnetic field manipulation like telekinesis, then blast her ass with a beam of plasma that seals her in crystal before blasting her with a heat sink cold plasma arrow to make a AOE ice explosion WHILE making 160,000 crystal clones of himself to act as cannon foder to also do what he's doing?

Yeah, kinda forgot about the fact he can make 160,000 clones of himself who can use his powers. Plasma smoke screen too

A plasma is an ionized gas that conducts electricity and interacts heavily with magnetic and electric fields. Because of these charged properties, a plasma cloud can disrupt, degrade, or completely disable technology by causing electromagnetic interference, short-circuiting electrical grids, altering radar signatures, and interfering with radio or satellite communications
 
The good old... lifting strength meta
How do we tell him it got nerfed
sealing, dodging to outlast with agility once he sees his plasma blasts ain't doing anything, crystal restraints
The first relies on him hitting Charlotte with a beam, which Charlotte would know to either dodge, or just overpower it via her own energy projection & her superior AP, or even maybe using the giant chunks of the ground to block it. Crystal restraints, I mean lowkey Charlotte could use her shapeshifting to kinda just disappear and reposition herself.

OP give me at LEAST two Bugs bro ts too hard😭✌️

Anyways to get back onto topic, none of this is explaining how he’d actually hurt her. He can’t crush her or anything due to the immense AP difference nor will any of these actually hurt her unless they have some dura-negging properties.

Problem is, Charlotte is not only not a robot, but Charlotte’s inorganic parts aren’t anything like standard technology. None of it has wires, cords, circuits to fry or anything. Charlotte in this state is completely powered by JUST Portal Energy. While electricity CAN be an alternative source of power for Charlotte, she has no electricity or any of the sort within her body at this point in time, because she has portal energy.
 
He has another shot

Have his clones do all that while charging for a minute a Solar Flare and launch it at her like a final flash. All while she has to deal with his 160,000 clones aiming to hold her in place or keep her in place

Looked it up and:
The Solar Flare, generating an instantly lethal radiation field of over 12,500 Grays per second even at a distance of 1 kilometer. Anyone within a few kilometers would receive thousands of times the fatal radiation dose in less than a blink of an eye.

At least 10 meters: 125 million Grays per second. Vaporizes matter instantly.
At 100 meters: 1.25 million Grays per second. Shreds DNA entirely.
At 1 kilometer: 12,500 Grays per second. Over 2,000 times the lethal human limit (5 Grays).

Considering how even you forgot about the clones, does that mean they aren’t a first option he’d do? Maybe not even a second? Because if so then that gives Charlotte a lot of time to land one solid hit on Nine before the wave of should-be-restricted clones comes in.

Honestly, it's like one of the frist things this man did against Homelander after getting to the Yukon and thus able to go all out without anyone around

Plasma smoke screen, clones. Here he'll absolutely will do it because once he sees one plasma blast not harm her he'll immediately dodge and use clones. Remember dude has genius intelligence
 
Side Note: I was looking through the IC profiles and I realized that people who should be far weaker than Charlotte have an LS value. Shouldn’t Charlotte have an “Unknown, likely at least Class M” from upscaling them, even if she hasn’t really lifted much herself? I’m not gonna count it for the debate since it’s not on her profile but I might make a CRT for it later once this is all said and done

I feel like this is so over-complicated and so specific compared to Charlotte’s wincon of just hitting him ONCE with literally anything. I REALLY doubt he’ll resort to this before Charlotte kills him, given how much versatility he has.

Not to mention Charlotte has enough mobility and hax herself to prevent herself from even getting hit, thus extending the time it’ll take for him to figure out she stonewalls the shi outta him.

PLUS, since she can also survive space, she can survive the radiation within space. So she’d be able to hold out slightly.
 
Also helps if someone is an actual threat to Cloud Nine he's basically bloodlusted, dude will try to take you out in the most creatively brutal way possible
 
Small note but I don’t think a simple space survival radiation resistance will help much against “matter vaporizing” levels of radiation if he performs the move in close range
Yeah, I get that, it’s why I said slightly. It’d help against like, SOME radiation but it’s not doing jack against a SOLAR FLARE WHY CAN HE DO THAT 😭💔
 
Also helps if someone is an actual threat to Cloud Nine he's basically bloodlusted, dude will try to take you out in the most creatively brutal way possible
I didn’t see anything like this on the profile so I dunno. Also the definition of (natural) bloodlust contradicts that last statement, if someone were bloodlusted they’d be more focused on killing someone more directly rather than using their powers creatively. And since it’s not induced bloodlust, Cloud could fall victim to PIS.

She’d need LS feats for it unfortunately, which this specific version of her has none (or any version)

Doubt it, although he could be caught off guard when he assumes he won (Cough like Gojo and Goku Cough)

Like after stabbing Homelander's shoulder, blasting plasma inside of him, vaporizing his arm off and then carpet bombing him with 200+ 3.33 killoton plasma blasts like Gogeta using stardust falls vs Broly. Ofc he thought he killed Homelander, he didn't expect him to evolve in power and gain heat sneaking heat vision that vaporized a hole in his midsection

But other then that, dude acts like a Canadian WW2 Soldier with Superpowers when someone's a threat to him and won't stop. He will try and kill them as fast as possible using his skill ment to beat opponents who can physically overpower him, versatility and battle IQ and Chaotic Intelligence. He's relentless

Honestly I could see us treating Portal Energy as a UES given the whole Nightmare Springtrap getting weaker and slower the more he used his powers stuff, and this Charlotte having like x2 the Portal Energy that the Rogues have could be argued as enough to scale her > to them in all categories.

I dunno, I still feel like it’s pretty far fetched for him to resort to using THAT specifically when he has like 10 million other things he can do before coming to that conclusion, as opposed to Charlotte who can end it all with one hit. Doesn’t help that he doesn’t exactly outrange her thanks to Charlotte’s smelting.

Plus, this is assuming Charlotte just sits there and takes the hit so Cloud could figure out that she completely tanks everything he can do. She’s kinda acrobatic in this form, so she’ll probably be able to get some dodges in.

Yeah I think I’m going w/Charlotte, her wincons are way more plausible and straightforward compared to Cloud’s.

Agreed. If Cloud went in with knowledge of the strength gap or smth similar then I’d probably side with him due to all the Hax, but because he wouldn’t have that he’d likely not use his effective stuff as immediately as Charlotte does. Charlotte FRA.
 
This thread kinda proves the LS meta can be used as a win con for Cloud Nine

Can't he just use his electromagnetic field manipulation like magneto and just hold her in place telekineticly? Crush her, seal her in crystal as 160,000 crystal clones jump her?

That thread is only happening rn cause Broly can't survive in space and/or can be choked, both don't apply to Charlotte.
Crush her, seal her in crystal as 160,000 crystal clones jump her?
Crushing requires AP and the sealing gets countered by Charlotte simply despawning and respawning whatever part of her Full Body he manages to encase.

Especially when the alternative is Charlotte tagging him once, which she'll be gunning to do considering she's getting a full-rundown of his powers.

He can only restrain her, he can’t choke her out because there’s nothing TO choke out, and he can’t harm her due to the massive AP difference.

Sealing won’t work cuz she can just disappear, and jumping her with clones would just result in this scene because of how weak he is compared to her.
