The RE is most likely due to breaking his limiter. The limiter in OPM refers to an abstract limit to a living being's growth wich limits their potential. If one is submitted to enough stress or obsession they surpass their limit and they mutate heavily turning into a mysterious being based on their obsession, their mind is also warped in the process. In case a living being is subjected to extraordinary effort (enough to push their bodies to the brink of death over and over again) and pushes through with willpower without losing their minds their limiter starts to break without them becoming a full monster and capping out. That's what happens in Garou's case.
Not quite, he had impressive RE way before the narrator even said that his limiter was "starting" to break, and we never got an actual statement of it breaking, although we can assume it likely did. Although CF Garou likely has vastly higher RE than any other Garou, anyways.

Garou was showing RE since his Hero Hunter arc, and was showing it a lot after his fight with RR and Bug God.
 
How does Copy Robot win tho? it has the stamina advantage but with the RE his only real option is getting really lucky with a BFR
 
If CR cannot copy Garou, that is a stomp and cannot be added.
CR can copy Garou, but it can't copy his reactive evolution ability, which should give Garou more than enough of an edge to win. Not quite a stomp, but CR winning doesn't seem realistically possible.

I haven't been convinced yet. CR can copy the Garou RE, but it can't copy their martial art style, right? Maybe it's a skillstomp.
 
It doesn’t seem like copy can apply the skills efficiently as Garou would as it still has it’s own personality

Copy Robot does copy the personality ,mannerisms, and intelligence/skill of the person he is copying. Copy Robot is a bit cocky in most forms but this cockyness is only ever seen in pre battle banter. Otherwise his own personality does not directly interfere with battles.

Do you have a scan of this?
 
Weaknesses: Is in general arrogant. Whoever they copy seemingly also lightly effects their own personality, like him getting a love of raw strength when copying Guts Man. Due to still ultimately being a robot reguardless of who they copy, they may not be able to copy abilities that require things like minds and souls. In the first game a pod had to scan who Copy Robot was going to copy, but in Powered Up this is not the case.

Due to CR's arrogant personality, Garou actually have a pretty ironclad victory condition, and if I'm not mistaken, Garou's RE is above his own mind, since he could copy techniques while unconscious.

Still, if CR doesn't have realistic wincons, I'm still not certain it'd be labeled a stomp. Garou wouldn't no-diff CR, or even low-diff, it'd still be a reasonably challenging fight for him, not one he can win with any degree of ease. A stomp doesn't just inherently mean that one character has no actual wincons, a stomp typically means that it is a battle which isn't even worth thinking about, one that is so heavily one-sided, it can't be called a fight, and isn't worth discussion.

What is the wincon of CR? It is mentioned in his weaknesses section that CR is unable to copy soul or mind related skills, the Garou's martial abilities are above his own mind.
 
I don't see how people are voting here
garou's IQ and personality, every ability he has, they all get copied
it's the most obvious inconclusive match of all time, it's quite literally garou vs himself and you don't think it's incon? this makes no sense

I didn't say he has one. I said that even if CR has no wincon, that doesn't make it a stomp match, because Garou is still going to struggle beating CR, anyways.

The weaknesses section states that, due to Copy Robot being a robot, it should be incapable of copying abilities centered around a character's biology. Garou's reactive evolution isn't much of a special ability, it's just apart of him, apart of his body. It's doubtful that CR could copy Garou's reactive evolution that he's had since Garou was ever a character.

well still, it's directly compensated by a stamina advantage
still incon

What Rinn is saying, Garou has a stat amplification advantage that CR can’t use.

CR vs Garou would be like Garou vs Saitama only this time Garou is Saitama. That’s a advantage that Garou can and will use to achieve the win
 
If Copy Robot can't copy things that are tied to the characters' biology, wouldn't that mean that he can't copy Garou's regen??

Because if that's the case, Garou can offset the infinite stamina as he has ways to recover from damage that his opponent cannot.
