John vs Statues (Homelander vs. Mannequin) (0-3-0)

The 8-C calc is uhh ass
Oh ok. Anyway, I'm pretty sure Homie is getting jumped here. He ain't got the skill to handle 3 agile enemies with homing ranged attacks at the same time. His only saving grace is that he massively upscales in terms of AP.

He has heat vision tho and is also surprisingly more skilled than them, so he can finish them off before they overwhelm him.

Heat resistance. You must have never heard of Homelander. His skill feats consist of using heat vision and bullrushing. That's all he does other than throwing simple punches.

I didn't read the comics spare me How hot is Homie's heat vision again? Also, Mannequins are very vulnerable to being shot and falling when they cling to walls, and the homing projectiles aren't even that fast + this is not Flesh Prison tier danmaku.

Hot enough to melt metal and reduce humans to charred skeletons.
Also, Mannequins are very vulnerable to being shot and falling when they cling to walls
You really think he's smart enough to exploit that?

They're still difficult to avoid even to an opponent like V1 as noted by the terminal.

💔 well ok then, the Mannequins can facetank a bit it damn

He needs to be smart to exploit that? Ya know the Mannequins instantly jump to walls if they're close to one aye? And as you said, Homie's whole fighting style is bullrushing and stuff so he should be able to force them to fall when he charges.

And that comes from Terminals' Strategy, which is the same thing that claims the Revolver has instant travel speed and that Sisyphus has the radiant power of the sun and making me have to tell these damn people that Ultrakill isn't ******* Country or Star level. Strategy is a mix of lore and game mechanics, it simply isn't always true. Also, if those projectiles were actually hard for V1 to avoid, then that GoPro wouldn't even be able to survive cybergrind wave 142 or sum lol.

I don't see how making them fall will help. Won't they try to avoid him and hit back at least?

Uh, just parry? Terminal straight up says that it's easier to parry them than trying to avoid them.

They can, but it isn't going to help if it doesn't stop him from hitting them eventually, cuz- doesn't his flight speed scale to his combat ? He can try to hit them while they're falling too, and they also get temporarily stunned after landing on the ground.

Again, he doesn't remotely have the skill to exploit that. You can give a preschooler Homelander's powers and their combat performance would be roughly the same. This is also assuming that he's only going up against one of them without the other two shooting him while he isn't looking.

Okay, let's not mention the terminal. V1 still has the added bonus of being able to parry AND being a combat genius while John is stupid enough to let attacks hit him just because he thinks he'll no-sell them like everything else that tries to harm him.

Eh, should I reduce the number of Mannequins then?
 
i thought you were gonna pull out arguments about how Homie is supposed to handle these 2 creeps damn Counted
 
Fart Attack Bro wanting to embarrass him even more (he's a stonewall):

Really thought mannequin was involved for a bit, but I guess it's mannequins who I feel would be 7-C but guess I can't think of any solid feats for them so

Anyways I'll note that against a small number of them like this the Mannequin's projectiles aren't that bad, they're just almost never going to be the only thing in the room with you. Terrain can still block them for instance, and given they're 9-A in this match it's not that hard to find enough material to make them lose energy

That's more a measure of fairness than Homelander really being able to win though, so mannequins for reasons above

ah hey it's a Parahumans goon Counted
 
Probably not, he's 9-B in terms of AP and casually has neurotoxin emitters

He also has 9-A durability and a durability negging blade. The neurotoxin might work against Homelander but probably not the Ultrakill Mannequin given its nature.
