I've never done a real one of these so bear with me. Baba Is You has had several updates since its page here has been made. Also, there are some things that were simply forgotten when Baba's page was made initially. In this post I'll attempt to list all of the new things that were added to Baba, and in particular phrase them in terms of this wiki's nomenclature so that they can be added to Baba's abilities.
NEW ABILITIES:
UPDATES TO OLD ABILITIES:
Additions to Baba's Optional Equipment:
Misc:
There are some other things that have been added, but they aren't particularly important so I omitted them.
NEW ABILITIES:
- Resistance to Transmutation Negation & Existence Erasure. Baba can negate an opponent's resistance to being transmuted via X IS NOT X. The full function of X IS NOT X, is that it both strips X's immunity to transmutation, AND erases their existence. Source
- Time Manipulation. BACK gives baba the ability to travel backwards in its own time, independent of everything else. In other words, baba will be traveling backwards through time while everything else moves normally. Both parties can all still interact with each other during this, though. While baba is moving backwards through time, it will pass through physical objects if they are moved into baba's path. Source
- Invulnerability. Baba can become immune to all damage. Source
- (unsure of the name of this ability). Baba can cause an opponent to become unable to move, be moved, or even be teleported. They become fixed at their coordinates; they are still able to turn in place. Source
- (similar to previous ability). Baba can cause an opponent to become unable to move or be moved in a certain direction. This ability can be applied in all directions, becoming similar to the previous. However, it should be noted that this ability does not prevent the opponent from teleporting away. Source
- (unsure if this ability even has a name). Baba can eat anything. Source
- Fear Manipulation. Baba can cause an opponent to become afraid of anything Baba chooses, including being afaid of themselves. Source
- Empathetic Manipulation. Baba can cause an opponent to become sad or confused.
- Camouflage & Color Manipulation (is it called something else?). Baba can change its colors and the color of an opponent. Source
- Resistance to...
- Possession (BABA IS NOT YOU)
- Matter Manipulation (BABA IS NOT STOP/PUSH/etc.)
- Teleportation (BABA IS STILL)
- BFR (BABA IS STILL)
- Vector Manipulation (BABA IS STILL)
- Gravity Manipulation (BABA IS NOT FALL)
- Death Manipulation (BABA IS NOT DEFEAT or BABA IS SAFE)
- Heat Manipulation (BABA IS NOT HOT or BABA IS NOT MELT)
- Statistics Reduction (BABA IS NOT WEAK)
- Duplication (BABA IS NOT MORE)
- Sleep Manipulation (BABA IS NOT SLEEP)
- Invisibility (BABA IS NOT HIDE)
- Transmutation (BABA IS BABA)
- Creation (ALL AND TEXT IS GROUP + BABA MAKE NOT GROUP) - yes, Baba has resistance to an opponent forcing them to Create
- Void Manipulation (BABA IS NOT EMPTY)
- Power Nullification (BABA IS NOT BROKEN)
- Power Modification/Bestowal (BABA IS BROKEN) - to be fair, this kind of doesn't count
- Power Mimicry (OPPONENT MIMIC NOT BABA) - yes, this renders the opponent unable to mimic baba's powers
- Size Manipulation (BABA IS BABA)
UPDATES TO OLD ABILITIES:
- Gravity Manipulation. This is with FALL. It no longer just applies different gravity to the victim by sending them downwards relative to the level. Now, baba can apply different gravity to a victim in any direction, as well as multiple gravities at the same time.
- Power Nullification. This is from BROKEN. The way it's worded on Baba's wiki page is weird. It's fine in the Powers and Abilities section, but in the optional equipment description it has a strange explanation. Basically, BROKEN causes the victim to no longer have any properties, including properties that aren't stated. What exactly counts as a "property" is of course subjective, so the best interpretation of this might be that it disables anything listed in a character's Powers and Abilities section, as well as rendering them unconscious, non-physical, inanimate, and inert.
- Law Manipulation. Should also note that Baba has the ability to transmute an opponent into a Law (effectively killing them). Source
- Power Mimicry. Should also note that Baba can directly mimic the properties of any other creature, or cause an opponent to mimic a disadvantageous power against their will. Source
Additions to Baba's Optional Equipment:
- WRITE: causes the victim to become transmuted into a law of Baba's choice. In particular, Baba may transform the victim into any of the "Properties".
- FEAR: causes the victim to become afraid of something else.
- MIMIC: causes the "victim" to copy the properties of something else. If that other thing is currently being transmuted, then the victim will also adopt that "property".
- EAT: causes the victim to be able to be eaten by baba
- CHILL: causes the victim to move around randomly in addition to whatever else they would being doing. Source
- BACK: causes the 'victim' to travel backwards through time independent of everything else
- PHANTOM: causes the victim to no longer be able to interact with (or be stopped by) physical objects. Source
- REVERSE: causes the victim to move in the opposite direction that they intend to. Source
- SAFE: causes the benefactor to become invulnerable to damage.
- STILL: causes the victim to become unable to move, be moved (even by gravity) or be teleported away from their current location
- LOCKED: causes the victim to become unable to move or be moved (even by gravity) in a certain direction.
- REVERT: causes the victim to transform into a form they had had previously. This can only take affect if the victim's current form is not their original form. Source
- BOOM: causes the victim to become destroyed. If multiple BOOMs are applied to one victim, it'll cause the victim to explode in a radius around it, destroying everything in that radius (including the victim themselves). Source
- HOLD: causes the "victim" to affix anything that walks upon it in place. Anything that goes on top of the victim will become unable to move, be moved (even by gravity), or be teleported away from that location. Source
