Insane Reality Rippers: Discord vs. Dimentio

Status
Not open for further replies.
I know very little on Discord.

As for Dimentio, we really have no idea what he does in character as every battle situation he's ever been in while in base form has been for some greater goal.
 
I mean Discord starts with either of the following options

  • BFR to another dimension
  • Morality/Mind/Empathic Hax
  • Maybe Power Nullification
 
Power null is just by removing their horns if I saw it correctly. I have no knowledge on the verse itself I'm afraid

Discord seemingly does have more options though
 
Dimentio mind manips more often than not, that's done with a snap of his fingers.
 
Dimentio can get back from dimensional BFR, resists mindhax and apparently the power null isn't all that useful. That apparently covers all of Discord's leads.
 
Dimentio's mind manip isn't an attack with travel time. Once he snaps, Discord is under.
 
Not voting, but I heard it's a common misconception that Discord can't Power Null against people who don't have horns. From what I heard, that isn't true.

I don't care about the match, I'm just saying
 
He mind haxed Luigi. Not sure why feats matter because Discord doesn't resist.

Anyways, only one of Discord's three leads will work while Dimentio's one lead will work. That's 2/3 is Dimentio's favor, so I'm going with him.

I mean, that completely ignores him no selling The Stare. On top of treating the guy who mind controlled a country like a complete joke (mind control cannot be overpowered if your magic is weaker than the mind controller, as evidenced by Twilight trying and failing to stop Sombra's mind control specifically because she had weaker magic)
 
His profile needs updating then, because that's never mentioned.

Also, if power is what matters regarding mind control in MLP, then Dimentio has that in the bag. He's Large Star level.

Not sure why it wasn't.

Not how it works. What applies to one verse does not apply to another. MLP heavily implies power is what matters in regards to mind control. You have to prove Dimentio's mind control scales to his power.
 
Fair enough.

Question, what exactly is The Stare? Isn't that where Fluttershy glares at you and you slink back in fear or am I thinking of something else?

Also, treating a guy with mind hax "like a joke" doesn't tell me much. Did he beat him or laugh off the threat he posed? If it's the latter, than it's possible that Discord was simply being cocky. I seem to recall him underestimating the main characters shortly before getting himself turned to stone, so he does have a history of that.
 
Subdue as in scare off? I need details.

Regarding feats (which I just remembered because I haven't played the game for a long time), I recall Dimentio mindhaxing the entirety of Bowser's kingdom and turning them against him. (Assuming I'm remembering that correctly)
 
I think she can use it for actual mind control. She used it to mind control fruit bats into a group so Twilight could casta spell on them. I'll have to look a bit more into it.

Oh no, he wasn't underestimating Sombra. Discord is so far above Sombra that Sombra can't even hurt him. Discord literally had to fake being critically injured because Sombra was too weak to hurt him.
 
Does anyone have the scene where Dimentio actually mind controlled Luigi? Or used it on anyone? As in seeing him do it? Or did his mind control happen off-screen?
 
Althrough Discord does seem to have an advantage, since Dimentio needs to snap in order to use his ability, while Discord can do it by thought and only snaps because he wants to.
 
Here's a clip of him using it against Fracktail:

Super Paper Mario Boss 2 - Fracktail
Super Paper Mario Boss 2 - Fracktail


Hold while I search for more clips.
 
So based on that, Discord has about a second or so to transmute the guy with thought based hax. Assuming the mind hax even works.
 
Yeah, I can't find anything. The other feats happened off screen, the Luigi feat happening after Dimentio lost to Luigi in a fight and faked both their deaths (albiet, the whole thing was a farce to further his end goal, but that goes for literally all of Dimentio's screen time so take that as you will)
 
Well, it is in character for Discord to snap just cause; he doesn't need to, but he does unless he is serious. Discord can sense magic, so maybe that could allow him to know how much stronger Dimentio is and take him seriously? I'm not totally sure.

Actually it seems like Discord might be getting upgraded to 4-B soon so he'd have the advantage in that.
 
After rewatching the video, it actually takes 2 seconds (Dimentio raises his hand in th air at 1:25 and the min control hits at 1:27). Discord may not be very serious, but it is in character to use thought based hax to disable his opponent considering that's what he does in his first appearance. 2 seconds is plenty of time against a guy with thought based hax.

Again, I still think Discord can straight up resist since mind controls strength in MLP is influenced by your overall power (yet again, Twilight could not undo mind control specifically for this reason).
