"It's some kinda Thing, Joseph. Some horrible Thing."

[Dargoo_Faust]

I'm... not sure it has a brain as much as it just emulates one. It's more a mass of disorganized flesh.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

The Things intelligence is completely dependant on it's mass. Smaller ammounts are usually feral animals while larger collectives can be extremely intelligent. It's also possible that when mindhaxed the Thing could possibly just break down untill it's small enough to no longer be affected.

 

[ProfessorLord]

If it does not have one, I am inclined to say that hamon does not mindhax. It specficially has only functioned in scenarios where a brain is involved. Assuming it can work on those without a brain is wrong.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Yes it does have a brain, but that brain is about as important to it as our pinky toe is to us.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

So, I suppose it's inconclusive, then, seeing as Joseph can't get past that level of regen.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Thing - 0

Joseph - 0

Inconclusive - 1

 

[Someone_who_likes_to_read]

This is more like a mismatch no? as neither can bring the other down.

 

[Torlikoff]

If neither can win it's just inconclusive

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

By that logic, nearly every single TMQ match should be a mismatch.

 

[ProfessorLord]

It does have other organs and hamon has demonstrated the ability to shut them down. He wins via his own durability negation.

 

[Torlikoff]

In his case it's more that they both bring each other down, but yeah

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Yes it does have a brain, but that brain is about as important to it as our pinky toe is to us.

just replace brain with organ

 

[ProfessorLord]

If his body is not functional, then it doesn't matter if he's alive on a cellular level, he's considered incapped and unable to harm Joseph in anyway now.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

The Thing is not a single creature. Every individual cell is it's own autonomous life form and can behave as such.

 

[ProfessorLord]

Then he incaps all of them by destroying the body that they compose. They are now 10-C. That is an incapacitation.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

What stops them from reforming?

 

[ProfessorLord]

Whatever muscles or organs they form into are unable to function because of the hamon enfused into them.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

So what's the conclusion? Stomp for the JoJo person?

 

[TacticalNuke002]

since the Thing doesn't have any way to harm, yes.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

If it does not have one, I am inclined to say that hamon does not mindhax. It specficially has only functioned in scenarios where a brain is involved. Assuming it can work on those without a brain is wrong.

So the above becomes the below?

Whatever muscles or organs they form into are unable to function because of the hamon enfused into them.

I'm confused. If you meant mind then I think I understand, but the thing doesn't need a brain to function.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

If Joseph has any conceivable way of winning it's a stomp, otherwise it's inconclusive.

Given what Prof has said this probably should be closed.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Close it then. This isn't going anywhere.
