No because thats NLF, also you're equating Intelligence linearly thats not how it works, you could be a genius in metaphysics but a novice in chess or martial arts,
I said no such thing about linearity, I said that Joseph is exceptionally good at this in particular, and he is, above Bakugo and above those who attempted this very thing against him. It's not a NLF, it's literally true, and has nothing to do with your linear strawman, because I specified in the first place what Joseph excels at.
Joseph outsmarted someone who couldn't see past 19th-century magic tricks,
Except for the time his opponent saw past his magic trick, and Joseph still outsmarted them, happened a few times even
point here isnt that Joseph is dumb in fact id say he is SMARTER than Bakugo but using generalizations without specific references to argue a specific outcome is foundationally weak
Good thing I didn't then, I didn't generalize, in fact I made it clear what Joseph is far smarter than him at, there shouldn't be confusion in regards to this.
Im assuming your arguing through profiles only because this weakness is a reference to something that happened in the second arc of the series, something Bakugo no longer does.
Yeah, I am, because we use profiles in matches. Like what the **** do you expect. It's on the profile so it be like it do, so that seems a bit of a nonargument to begin with.
Ok so Joseph comes back within the day, why the **** would Joseph **** off for longer than that anyway? He says himself he never flees or runs away, merely falls back to come up with a plan, he says this against Empress in direct reference to his youth. Joseph isn't running away, he's only falling back to put himself in an advantageous situation.
Ie, your self BFR argument is a literal nonfactor. Because Joseph wouldn't do that to begin with.
For Joseph to lay a trap he will need to know enough about bakugo which requires him to get closer, which puts in him the range of getting hurt by bakugo.
Which he can figure out with ease and quickly at that, Bakugo ain't exactly subtle my dude. He wears his whole schtick and personality on his sleeve, and that's not even true, Joseph can still lay traps on the fly, they just won't be optimized, but they'd still be a thing.
And uh, why the **** would he need to get closer? Pretty sure the raging explosion man is pretty easy to analyze and deduce.
which requires him to know enough about Bakugo, which requires him to engage in combat.
Except he doesn't? He's analyzed foes before from afar, he doesn't need to engage in like CQC, especially not with Bakugo attacking at range like you argued above, Bakugo is gonna tip his hand long before Joseph needs to enter CQC.
which requires him to get close to Bakugo and we go back to the Initial point.
Except it doesn't, you even argued for range above
Cool so like he normally has to?
Sure, but he isn't Omniscient, he can very easily be distracted and be made to focus on one thing, given its on his profile as a weakness. It wouldn't be hard to distract him and cause him to trip up and get hit from a Blindspot.
Joseph can literally just pretend to be defeated and then come back later with a plan "
yes me, I was talking about his cowardice bluff and him pretending to be dead to sneak away against Wham, not his one month pride bluff. So moot point there.
I never said he would be killed but that they would hurt him and continue exposure will eventually kill him, also the X3 AP is just Bakugo's normal explosions, he hen increase them much higher, enough to hurt ALL Might, a character magnitudes above the likes of Kars.
Well they better kill or at least maim because Joseph can heal himself by simply breathing, and enough to where he can heal burns and the like, **** the dude can heal a nearly blown off arm within panels and even broken necks, plus pain is a non-issue. And no, he ain't, you're actually arguing that Bakugo is secretly ******* city level when he tries? That's CRT shit, don't bring that here, untill you make him tier 7 with his best explosions in this key, it's a nonfactor.
Yes and I asked for an example how this would work in Josephs favour and have yet to get anything.
Lure him into traps, draw his attention from traps or blindside's, hell it's not that complex.
Never said he doesn't I said that the fight in specific is a result of having that information
In specific? I'm talking in general, you know he's been in more then like one or two fights right?
the example I used is an Objective truth you can go find it in the manga as opposed to extrapolating things from the manga and then using them as a basis to create extreme hypothetical and inflated scenarios that are backed up by thin references.
Objective? It ain't, you're cherry picking, excessively so. That's what we call being disingenuous. Extrapolation? No, I'm merely referencing things he quite literally did at face value, everything I said was in direct reference to something Joseph has actually done or pulled off
Hypothetical scenarios? Yeah no shit, this is a hypothetical match, the **** did you expect?
Inflation? Odd, as everything I've mentioned was something he actually did in the source material
This is what we call the Batman fallacy.
That only works as an excuse if it's not literally true. While not always true, Batman outsmarting or exploiting a foe into submission is indeed a thing that can be pulled off against opponents, it may not always work, but it can, and this is one of those times where it's a possibility.
