Rick Sanchez vs...SpongeBob

[GoCommitDi]

Because yes.

Both are fully equipped

SpongeBob is bloodlusted, has his optional equipment, and has a month of prep

Fight is in an abandoned Times Square

Rick unironically uses time stop and instantly wins. Spongebob has no resistance to time stop period and he even implies in an episode that it would victimize him, Rick wins.

its spongebob o clock.

okay so right off the bat spongebob's absurd luck will be an issue, for reference, it causes skilled fighters to just. kind of miss their shots and attacks. he can also destroy rick's tech by laughing, as well as drive rick insane with said laughing. rick also has no counters to spongebob's type 8 immortality. or spongebob just passively reading his mind

I don’t remember SpongeBob negating equipment with laughs, but madness manip wouldn’t do well against someone who is already mentally insane. There was an episode where Rick started freaking out due to how horrid a cat’s backstory was, but it made him want to kill the cat more if said cat didn’t leave. He would probably use his time stop device to stop Spongebob from laughing, inconning him.

To the passive luck, there’s no reason why it would stop Rick from stopping time. As you mentioned it specifically goes when Spongebob is in danger (it doesn’t activate most of the time but), but Rick isn’t putting spongebob in “danger”, he’s just immobilizing Spongebob there without hurting him.

its in his profile;

Madness Manipulation Types 2 and 3; His laughter drove Plankton insane and can even destroy Plankton's advanced technology from said laugh as seen in "Shopping Lists".

it realistically would, no matter ones mental state, they'd still be victim to madness manipulation i'd imagine unless they resist it

but for the time stop, i can maybe see reactive evolution coming in clutch, after some time, he should eventually become unaffected by it.

Reactive Evolution (Although he was affected by abilities such as the "Orb of Confusion" eventually became unaffected by the prolonged after effects which left someone as brainless or whom have nonexistent entities in their minds like Patrick confused and unable to respond.

I've rewatched the episode, and it likely wouldn't work on Rick. Plankton's technology at the time was meant to detect sounds, it was made so Plankton can eavesdrop on Krabs, so when it heard Spongebob's laugh, he somehow madness maniped a computer?? Either way, Rick's technology wouldn't necessarily "hear" Spongebob, so I would say that the chances of Spongebob negating his tech is very low.

It probably depends on how the opponent would react to the madness manipulation. Some characters lose the will to fight, some want to kill themself and some want to kill their opponent even more to prevent it. Rick pointed a gun to his head when he saw the cat but stopped himself and would've killed the cat if the cat didn't go away despite Jerry throwing up and rolling on the ground crying via what he had seen.

Ignoring the fact that I don't think this is reactive evolution, considering that it would make no sense narratively for the "orb of confusion" to keep its effects after it's turned off (I might make a thread about it cause I don't think this hax should be on the profile), I think evolving to resist mind hax is much different than resisting time stop. Here it's just messing your mind vs not only keeping you in place but keeping everything in place. Everything in your body is shut and nothing to go forward cause there's no time for you to move forward to. It's much different so I don't think this type reactive evolution should apply.
