Well, as now it would be based on resistance layers, rather than raw numbers, the potency would still be significantly lower than "billions", although for vs threads it may not change much given that it also goes the same for other verses.IIRC, Mind based Force powers such as Nihilus' are still able to overpower the resistances of other Force Sensitives.
Considering how standards go, a baseline resistance would be enought by default (unless resistance negation layers are involved, but you get the idea), but how it works is relevant too. A character that resists mindhax with sheer willpower won't resist a mindhax that targets something will can't cover.if verse treats mind haxing multiple people as more potent what kind of resistance would be needed to resist that mind hax in vs battles?
Chances are it'd remain baseline, but the "by how much higher" would be unknown anyways in cases where it's known to be stronger than normal generally, and as no resistances were bypassed in the first place, a baseline resistance should cover it by default, leaving at a side semantics over how it works and all, as said before.How would this affect 4-D potency?
Like mind haxing an infinite number of people at once, is that just baseline potency now without evidence that it can be "concentrated" on a single person?
Do you only need baseline resistance to resist it?
How would we be able to determine this.If one character sacrifice aoe for potency then good (although, how much it would be about baseline, or how many "layers" it bypasses, is debatable).
Not sure: what even is baseline mindhax? What exactly its a "layer" of resistance? If there's a passive madhax effect that would break the mind of the average people in 3-5 minutes, but a resistent character stand 20 minutes without breaking, how much "layers" of resistance does the character have above baseline?How would we be able to determine this.
Baseline mindhax would be effectively just doing the power to a single sapient target that doesn't have a resistance to speak about. A layer of resistance would be someone having a resistance to mindhax, and this resistance being bypassed, hence "layer", as resistances stacking isn't unheard of. For the last part, that's unquantificable really, even if we knew the mindhax attempt was consistently constant across the timeframe, it would just be a "below" baseline resistance out of not exactly resisting it in the end, but rather withstanding it for a while.Not sure: what even is baseline mindhax?

Yeah, numbers will become just range generally, and not a proper way to measure the power by default, like how matter manip is measured on up to what level (molecular, atomical, quantic...), and not on how much matter is involved, as it's hax.Since I believe it pertains to the discussion, I may as well ask: How would we scale which Mind Hax is stronger then? Say we have Vegeta, who has baseline Mind Manip Resistance as of rn. With this revision, he’d suddenly be able to overpower the likes of Obi-Wan or Mewtwo who, iirc, have Mindhax currently in at least the thousands, no?
I have seen very few verses where someone resists mindhax, only to get Mindhaxed by someone else, so this would functionally make Mindhax a very weak Win Condition compared to what it is now, am I correct?
Apologies if this has been previously stated, I already read and didn’t see it, so I’m just looking for clarification on what we do then.
So, resistances that reduces the effects of powers are by default "better" than resistances that reduces the duration of effects? Let say, someone uses some kind of time stop that last 5 seconds over two different characters: character A is completely stopped, but comes back to normal after 2.5 seconds, meanwhile character B instead of being stopped it instead gets slowed down 1000 times during a duration of 5 seconds; is character B more resistent than character A?Baseline mindhax would be effectively just doing the power to a single sapient target that doesn't have a resistance to speak about.

I need to point out that this isn't universal. There are plenty of fictional universes that Mind Manipulation really is that simple, or limited. Harry Potter's Imperius curse, for example, and many fantasy universes have really specific and easy forms of Mind Manipulation.Manipulation of minds is not a just a simple on and off command like time hax or EE.
To manipulate minds can be comapred with a computer processing unit trying to multitask and operate multiple other processes or something equivalent.
The more difficult or complex the task is, more processing power is required.
So I will not agree that manipulators don't need potency equal to work they do.
Also this.That some characters can concentrate their power to a single individual doesn't mean that all of them can, and even then a confirmation would be required of this act actually raising the "hax output" as the OP explains over the time stop example and its AoE not necessarily changing its power in the first place, plus even with that, the boost would be unquantificable out of resistance layers and numbers of people not being relatable as I've said before, thus making it practically just AoE.
Hmmm... a case like that is probably up to how the verse treats it (And how such resistances work), but if no clarifications are given, technically character B has an higher resistance out of not being actually time stopped, like in a case where character A uses absolute zero on B on C. B gets to AZ for two seconds, but C remains at a slightly higher temperature for a bit longer, the same principle applies here, and this is why time stop resist users also resist time slow by default.So, resistances that reduces the effects of powers are by default "better" than resistances that reduces the duration of effects? Let say, someone uses some kind of time stop that last 5 seconds over two different characters: character A is completely stopped, but comes back to normal after 2.5 seconds, meanwhile character B instead of being stopped it instead gets slowed down 1000 times during a duration of 5 seconds; is character B more resistent than character A?
Mindhaxing 4-D beingsWhat is 4D mind hax huh?
Wouldn't that be like, normal mind manipulation with universe+ or higher range?Mindhaxing 4-D beings
I would be fine with that, a note may be best unless a large section of standards over those are required.Can we make a page for layered resistances? Or add a note to the resistance page
For the sake of avoiding NLFs it has been generally taken as those just bypassing resistance layers unless such resistances are up to a similar or higher dimensional level too.now that I think about it, would higher D mind haxx/resistance still get past layers?
They would have a resistance, it just would be below the baseline of someone being unaffected by a baseline effect, yes.So from what I understand, being completely unfased by baseline effect = one (1) layer of resistance? So characters that merely reduces the effects/duration of a power does not qualify to have one (1) layer of resistance?
No, as a 4-D being is infinitely more complex than 3-D ones, which also would apply to their mindsWouldn't that be like, normal mind manipulation with universe+ or higher range?
I don't see how that would apply to their minds, do they get smarter or something? I don't think, if you can interact with higher dimensional being then you should be able to mind hax.No, as a 4-D being is infinitely more complex than 3-D ones, which also would apply to their minds
I think it’s just plain out harder to interact with there mind. Not that the mind itself is betterdo they get smarter or something?
then I don't see how that would apply to their body, and from now, a 4-D being can be killed by a 3-D pistolI don't see how that would apply to their minds
Their mind just become 4D. Even if you can interact with 4D beings, If your mind hax is 3D you can't mindhax it no matter the potency.I don't see how that would apply to their minds, do they get smarter or something? I don't think, if you can interact with higher dimensional being then you should be able to mind hax.
We didn't. It was always higher numbers bigger potency by default@Bobsican so you’re arguing it’s a case by case basis? If so I’m 90% sure we’ve had that been a thing for a while now so idk why this thread is a thing.
Depends on how it's done, if this act is something basic virtually any user of it could do so there's no issue on that regard, but as said before, this increase in potency (if it's even stated to be the case in the first place) is unquantificable and thus wouldn't bypass a baseline resistance by default.Assuming a persons mind hax comes from a power source like mana, or chi, would it be fair to say they can focus it, if they(or another comparable mana/chi user) show the ability to focus other mana/chi derived attacks?
As said before, this is the equivalent of making up numbers to an unquantificable stat amp for the sake of it being usable in vs threads, which is a no out of effectively exaggerating the capabilities of someone. Mindhaxing an infinite amount of beings is just range, not potency, and even if someone could focus such power to a single target (Which can't be assumed to be something every mindhaxer can do), it would be unquantificably higher without further details, I've also already illustrated before how numbers and resistance layers don't correlate and shouldn't be equalized.i disagree
Using numbers are far better. Without that ,there is no difference between a characther that mindhax a single being or infinite amount of beings, wich is dumb . Controlling more minds demand more potency and control than one(unless the one have previous feats of resistance)
The act of focusing the energy?if this act
