Senator Armstrong Vs Luffy

I wouldn't say he no-sells it lmao. But yeah that does exist.
I meant for the heat resistance
We kinda conflate those sometimes? As I understand it durability = heat resist but heat resist =/= durability but the latter isn't fully applied? The wiki is in a mess regarding that
That's so broken

Imagine you bfr someone and they come back in a jet
Powers & Abilities: Resistance to BFR (Is rich)
Imma be honest

Luffy could still fight while being grappled tbh. Might just counter with a GomuGomu no Hammer mid grapple
Perhaps. Although Armstrong can use grappling for point-blank energy projection if he so chooses, that might be a good strat.
I've found a worthy foe
No matter how stupid anyone's verse might get, you can trust Metal Gear to get stupider.
 
Not too sure if we work like that here. All it means is that it's much higher than the value they regularly scale to.

Can Armstrong be KO'd? Cause Luffy doesn't really go for the kill
One-shots in-verse when were in a vs thread kind of function as a big massive upscale, so if Armstrong's AP is able to one-shot a guy who no-sold his casual 121 kilotons, it's a massive upscale and a half.

Outside of the nanomachines son? Well he had to have a hand shoved into his chest and grab his heart to stop attacking and even then he still didn't stop moving until it was torn out and crushed.

I don't think so? Raiden needed to hella overkill him to put him down so idk if KOing works.
 
I just noticed Luffy's stamina section is so bad

I'll work on it after this match

Can Armstrong get dizzy? 👀

People put Luffy against demons wtf, how tf does he do much in this fight?

Beat his shit up and down and up and down!

In all seriousness probably very little, Armstrong is just one of those characters you wanna hax lol

yeaaa i know that feeling man

I dunno. Don't think he has anything that implies no though. Nanomachines do control and regulate various functions of his body such as adrenaline and nutritional systems so maybe they could do something about it but that's speculation.

just wait until you learn that literally everyone else from this game has duraneg swords

I think Luffy still probably has an AP advantage so if he just utterly beats the shit out of him for enough he might eventually wear him out? His stamina is crazy but not infinite.

Also, are shockwaves any more effective than blunt force against Luffy?
 
Flattened isn't really the same as choked tho, if he gets elastic while Armstrong is attempting to choke him that just means even less air can pass through his throat

But eh, Armstrong's resilient enough to learn from his mistakes, why would grappling in particular be bad tho?
Did anyone say flattened 👁

I swear I remember luffy becoming a carpet 😅

Yeah, the entire boss fight literally drags on just because of his Nano Machines:

It took multiple slashes and cuts and then taking out his own heart just to kill him plus need another high frequency blade from Jetstream Sam to put him down for the count.
 
Pointing out, that sword that's being used on Armstrong ain't normal, it is a giga **** you sword that negates durability at the Planck level and destabilizes the electron clouds that make up one's being. Except better because Sam's sword is that +1 for some reason.
 
Armstrong has limited physics Manipulation out of it lol
Nah, it is pure physical strength that is for sure with his bare hands anyway that is also infused with nanomachines.

Hell in a later scene, Armstrong straightup mentioned he has nanomachines so…
 
Minor Physics Manipulation (Dok stated that destroying a high-frequency blade with bare hands defies every core tenet of modern physics, which Armstrong has casually done against Raiden)

Lol

Yeah Luffy has the AP advantage


Specific Shockwaves in OP deliberately negate dura and target his organs, thereby harming him. Unless they do that, then no
 
the impressive thing isnt even the swords, it's the 10km long skill **** chain consisting of like 30 characters where the the absolute shittiest characters are all genetically modified super soldiers with VR Training.
 
nanomachines, son
nanomachines, son
Yeah Luffy has the AP advantage
As I've mentioned nanomachines do significantly lower damage from stuff that would seriously harm him btw, so Armstrong can definitely still wall his attacks. Kinda funny that they can both do that lol. Even looks similar, with their skin becoming black

Don't think they do that then, heat manip is the wincon here for Arms
 
I'm good with Incon. both have crazy endurance and stonewall the other, neither can play by their usual rules too well, Luffy outranges, Armstrong's single attacks probably have more effect than single attacks from Luffy, and so on
 
Yea, incon seems the most plausible thing here. Incon FRA.
why must i be late to everything
