Yes he only ever uses them if he really has to which he wouldnt know right now. Same way he wont use Time Stop or Meta Abilities, its just Ricks character
Before this Rick only had Standart which will make him lead with the Portal Gun which I said would kill Doom. You are arguing he can even survive that.
You could say the same for the portal killings, but here we are.
I've been arguing he could resist it, additionally Rick again has a far longer history of using a wide array of other first moves other than the portal gun. If you want to be arguing about in-character stuff because he's incapable of recognizing a threat then that's going against you still.
That's what we've been arguing on the entire time. And again, Rick still has his portal gun in that section meaning its still an option for your side of the argument. It's fundamentally impossible to say Standard Equipment isn't a stomp and then say All Equipment is, just because a win is decisive doesn't make it a stomp.
You have 1 episode for that, which isn't alot in favor. Additionally it's still an option for him, him spamming it or not doesn't change the nature of it being a stomp or not since it's still there
Again, I don't have the time for that RN since I'm on my phone and can't compare and contrast the 8 different resistance pages Doom has at the moment.
I said Doom can resist the portals and the spacial destruction stuff as well as counter them. That's not the same as saying he can resist literally everything in Rick's arsenal.
I only said it's a stomp in one specific form which isn't 100% going to be used depending on how the fight goes. Just because a character can access a higher form that could stomp doesn't mean the fight itself is one if there are paths that don't result in it. Doom isn't pulling the projection out unless he dies, which isn't a guarantee.
Time Crystal uncertainties splitting the timelines non-existently, Doom ironically doesnt resist Ice Manipulation himself (i think, i aint checking 8 different pages right now), Rick has energy absorption to counter some of Dooms more conventional weaponry, ect ect.
Astral forms are outerversal, non dual, non existent, conceptual, informational Leph.
That's the neat part, cosmology diff
It helps that Marvel glazes Doom by saying repeatedly that he's the #3 Sorcerer on Earth behind Clea and Strange.
Yup, because DC's people are obsessed with splitting the cosmology 20 times a year rather than improving the pages.
Yeah, blow for blow DC is lacking. Vertigo is their saving grace rn with Presence
No, it never changed. Shion was just very adamant that the portal gun could solo
No, if you actually had read my arguments (which of course you did not) you would know I specifically said that the Portal Gun would be a wincon here which is why Rick should only have Standart Equipment, which was a working argument until the whole Astral Form things. Not my fault it took you like 5 ass pages to actually give a good argument against it.
See, I was right
Not my fault you still deny a characters already accepted resistances
And like Doom has more standard and consistent ways to slam Rick in character.
I mean Nagash kicked Doctor Doom's ass... but that's Nagash. Warhammer Fantasy's own Spooky Sorcerer Suprememe even Teclis was wary of. And that guy Power Word: Kill'd Kairos Fateweaver!
To be fair that was before Doom's hax became 1-A
No it was after. Nagash' hax is also much higher into 1-A by 3 layers.
Can confirm that WH hit Marvel with a big case of "Always a bigger fish"
Wouldn't the Dematteis split make them all cap at 1-A / 1-A+, with only TOAA being High 1-A?
Does Rick have non lethal incons that would work or no?
Its Rick
Fair enough.
