Slender gets close to baki and Baki ends up punching Slenderman head off, Baki ftw

 

[Fallen_Angelicx]

Slender gets close to baki and Baki ends up punching Slenderman head off, Baki ftw

Slenderboi is intangible tho so that wont work. He can also become invisible

 

[Fallen_Angelicx]

Also what will baki do against slenderbois madness manipulation and fear hax? He has no prior knowledge.

Slenderman being intangible is something that he can turn on and off as shown by many pictures where he's a physical entity so I kinda still think baki would kill him with a punch but the Slendy being invisible may be a problem

instinctive action could help baki out against the madness hax

That is true, although doesnt the guy start with intangibility. On a physical altercation with someone of unknown origin, he'd have on his intangibility for better stealth so he can stalk his victims. Btw i dont think baki can hit the guy in a crucial area like "his head" based off the size difference between these two characters and the fact that slenderman can increase his size whenever. Slenderman also doesnt go for cqc, he uses the range from his tendrils to attack his opponents so baki himself would have to get up close to hit him.

That doesnt stop him from getting affected in the first place. Baki is facing a otherworldly creature with no prior knowledge of its madness hax and the moment he sees it, he gets affected by Madness hax. If he had prior knowledge then him fighting it without thinking would make sense.

Hmmm fair

I'm voting for slender then

It's not passive, it's an active ability. Also Baki can sense aura and react to things he can't see.

[Fallen_Angelicx]

I rephrased about it being passive.

 

[Tots_Real]

But if slender wants to touch Baki, which is a think he likes to do with his targets, he will be tangible.
Also Baki can jump real well, like when he fought the Yasha Ape (who is around 2 meters tall) baki was able to go way above his head and go multiple body lengths up. Like sure this fight was after this key but like jumping isn't some kind of massive new skill he learned during his training.
Also Slender usually remains around 7 to 14 feet in most images so it should be in range.

Not denying this. But as slender boi stalks baki during the fight, he'll gain info on his target including their strenght and weaknesses. He'll just use his range with his tendrils (tens of meters) as an advantage to counter baki's cqc. Baki can punch slendermans tendrils all he wants while slender effortlessly keeps distance but they'll just keep coming and its not gonna be one but dozens at once.

This is true. But baki is gonna have to do something about slendermans stealth and suprise attacks which is gonna be hard due to slendermans selective intangibility and invisibility which baki will find diffucult anticipating. Baki is gonna have to get up close to slenderboi and accurately pounce the 7 foot guy while actively trying to get around his tendrils. Btw what about slenderbois madness hax that i addressed earlier?

[Comiphorous]

just to clarify some things in this thread, since it seems like people are skeptical on things:

Intangibility is something slenderman needs to activate, and is not passive.

Slenderman in character would turn it on before fighting Baki, as he has it on very often even when he's around children.

Slenderman will typically go for CQC, along with his other hax.

HIS MIND MANIPULATION/SOCIAL INFLUENCING IS VERY IN CHARACTER FOR HIM, and he might aswell start with it when he's not trying to disembowel his opponent.

 

[Tots_Real]

Oh yeah Baki can partially ignore mind haxs due to his body being able to functioning on his own. If Slender get's close his body's training will jump in and drop him.

 

[XxZetsuxX]

I am not comfortable with Baki being able to negate madness hax and mind manip because of IA

I don't think it works like that, But that's just me fr

 

[XxZetsuxX]

Also, I would like to mention on how Baki's IA is not (technically) valid

This is 9-C Baki, Which means it's Baki before meeting up with Gaia

This Baki lacks most of his Powers and Abilities

9-C Baki only has these abilities;

• Superhuman Physical Characteristics
• Statistics Amplification (Can release endorphins that increase his pain tolerance and durability),
• Master Martial Artist
• Pressure Points
• Afterimage Creation (Dodged around Yuri Chakovsky at blitzing speeds, leaving an afterimage)

This is because the rest of the abilities are unlocked after his 9-B key

And for this reason alone, I am going with Slenderman

 

[Tots_Real]

Baki's IA wasn't something he learned though, it's an ability that is the result of years of training up this point that was only activated do to extenuating circumstances. Between the period of time being used and the one where he fought Gaia he had only had two major fights since than and had only really done strength/general stat training. Him being able to do this was a result of the years he spent fighting people, not just the past couple months.
At the same time I would say his IA would be valuable here. The reason he activated in the first place was because he was struck with fear due at the prospect of Geae's mind reading thing and couldn't think of a way to fight him that won't just make him valuable to attacks so his body just attacked Geae on his own. If Baki's mind is unable to actively participate in a fight his body will step in and fight for him. This would be valuable when dealing with an opponent with Madness, Fear and other mind hax.

Up to this point would be till Gaia which he isn't with this key

that was only activated do to extenuating circumstances.

After getting uncounscious yes, But Baki also got K.O'ed by Yuri and nothing happened

Between the period of time being used and the one where he fought Gaia he had only had two major fights since than and had only really done strength/general stat training.

What i said above

Him being able to do this was a result of the years he spent fighting people, not just the past couple months.
At the same time I would say his IA would be valuable here. The reason he activated in the first place was because he was struck with fear due at the prospect of Geae's mind reading thing and couldn't think of a way to fight him that won't just make him valuable to attacks so his body just attacked Geae on his own.

Yuri also defeated him with Baki obviously not wanting to lose and still didn't activate it

If Baki's mind is unable to actively participate in a fight his body will step in and fight for him. This would be valuable when dealing with an opponent with Madness, Fear and other mind hax.

Like i said, He doesn't unlock this in this key
