Squid Game General Discussion Thread

Here, Player 333’s back is turned and Gi-hun turns him around and strikes him in the face, affecting him through striking strength, not sheer brute force.

I don't understand your point. I was mentioning this because it took him less punches to draw blood from Player 333 than Thanos did.
PlutoValid said:
Here, you mention he overpowers while slashed, but it takes alot of time and this little second encounter they both show pretty high relativity in strength.

Yeah but he had a knife right in his arm, plus the fact that Player 333 was pushing it further the more he put force, and Gi-Hun overpowered him basically single-handedly while he was putting all his strength on the knife.
PlutoValid said:
Here when Player 333 strikes Gi-Hun both are not able to overpower one another until Gi-Hun ultimately throws the pole off the stage.

Gi-Hun still manages to pull his pole
PlutoValid said:
Meanwhile player 333 is unable to tackle thanos and again unable to tackle him into the urinals. thanos counters by slams him to the bathroom stall effortlessly, 333 not being able to escape. thanos then bodyslams him to the ground showing full physical superiority with 333 not escaping and being strangled to near death

thus we can conclude Thanos > player 333 =< gi-hun
Click to expand...
I mean, they both are above Player 333 but I still think Gi-Hun would win. Like HorrorHistory already mentioned, its pretty sure that he was bloodlusted and Gi-Hun was also injured from wounds that Player 388 gave him during the Hide and Seek game. At least, they all scale to each other, tho Thanos might be superior in c/r speed considering he easily dodged that punch from Player 333.

Thats literally just the effect of drugs, it doesnt physically amp you, just puts you out of your mind

ketamine (which this drug is crazier then) has been linked to increase muscle sympathetic activity, increasing heart rate, dilating pupils, redirecting blood to muscles, etc.

especially in real world cases certain drugs make your pain tolerance stronger, to say it doesn’t affect you physically is just being intellectually dishonest.

Good thing i didnt say it doesnt 'affect you physically' and more it doesnt amp.

They aren't meant to be fictional wonder drugs and id rather not make this a convo on a powerscaling forum

It amps physically in the sense that all these certain attributes are upgraded (stated statistics of body amping itself previously), it works as a performative drug, it doesn’t give muscle mass, it increases certain aspects to preform as if you were amped physically, drugs have also been proven to increase reaction time.

and no their just drugs but they do provide a little boost, nothing marginal lol.

Right well, again, like i said, i dont want to be talking about drugs here, but they still dont amp you physically and we're not going to be saying that just because of a confidence boost.
The stuff they were taking was obviously not ketamine

he explicitly states a confidence boost AND strength, also I’m using ketamine as a example (never directly said the drug they take was ketamine, nice strawman) since Thanos claims the drug is even stronger then ketamine. Theres multiple sources backing up my claims as well. But okay we can stop talking about power amps in a fictional verse.

Its moreso the fact we're talking about illegal drugs, not 'power amps', and trying to say they help you 'get stronger' (which isnt something we should be promoting on the wiki).

A) Nam-Gyu is a moron, who didnt have them to begin with, and was under their effects. Just because he says he 'feels stronger' (because hes under the effect of them) doesnt mean it literally makes him stronger. If anything, it decreases the 'anxiety' and thus makes him feel sstronger, but its not Popeye and his spinach. Not a reliable source.
B) Squid Game is grounded. They arent trying to say that you get physically amped with drugs, no matter how much they give you a temporary morale boost. If anything, im still finding it difficult to believe people scale to 9-C
C) You were using ketamine as an example. but just because smthn would be 'stronger than ketamine' doesnt mean it has the same exact effects and more. This isnt something you can chainscale like that? You cant say whatever Thanos was taking can do everything ketamine can do and then some just because 'its stronger

Thats all

Im not really promoting it, and that was not my intention, sorry for that.

if you read my replies you would know i provided multiple sources to prove my claims, and i said even its not physically making him stronger, more like a mindset that he has. though it does increase reaction time and make blood flow more potent to the muscles thus allowing for temporal increased strength and other things

The sources im providing are literally real world studies making it grounded as a whole

since we have nothing else to base it on its safe to make assumptions based on dialogue thats already been stated, thus we can conclude its similar to ketamine, also most hard drugs like ketamine, ecstasy, and others increase reaction time and make you overly confident. which comparing base nam gyu to amped nam gyu theres a clear difference in versatility, confidence, and more

since you wont accept the studies and my args (argument from pigheadedness) and are flat out ignoring it and rendering it as “nam gyu is stupid” and the fact that the context of our discussion isnt particularly appropriate to talk about on the wiki this will be my last response

Isnt stopping you from being condescending but good, lets leave it at that
 

A pretty good video, and lots of the positions are quite accurate. Except, I can't believe the video didn't acknowledge the existence of Park Jung Bae; obviously he is S Tier. And P.S. Thumbnail is just for clickbait.
 
So i calced one of Deok-Su’s goons breaking a neck, probs gonna upload tmw i got 896.7168-1,120.896 Joules. Based on narrative alone Deok-Su would scale to his goons as its believed by Gi-Hun that hes the strongest physically in S1 as well as other minor details like players fearing him and the doctor viewing him as strongest player.

are they ranked out of morals? I think Myung Gi was a amazing antag
 
Shouldn’t In-ho’s standard equipment consist of his armed soliders? technically he has access to them at all times throughout the show, and we’ve seen him command them.
 
Could entire Squid Games (such as 33rd for example) get team or civilisation profiles?
 
Not sure about organizing all the players, but the organization consisting of Front Man in the Pink Guards could be a civilization/military force perhaps.
