the impostor killing the thing is out the window so the only way for them to win is via getting the rest of the crew to eject it which i believe it could do
 
Does the crew even stand a chance against the Thing? All it needs to do is just rush everyone as they have no weapons to fight back.
 
well from what i know the thing prefers to kill off people one by one same as the impostor so it rushing the crew down would be unlikely
 
Well, if it knows that nothing can harm it, it seems reasonable to just infect everyone before it can be ejected. In the prequel, it has shown to be more aggressive.
 
... What?

The Thing absolutely curbstomps. They have literally zero way to stop it, and unlike The Imposter, even if they find it out, The Thing is just going to flip it's shit and kill everyone.
 
That's not even incon since, one, the other crewmates could do it, two, The Thing could do it alone via splitting in two if it really, really needed to.
 
Ejecting the Thing is only a wincon if they can actually get it into the airlock to eject it and even then it can still leave a bit of itself behind to continue the process. Plus, I'm pretty sure there aren't any weapons in the game so there is no reason for the Thing to even play it subtle. It can just run around assimilating people without repercussions. Clearly the reason no one has done this match up is because it's a horrible stomp in the Thing's favor. Now MacReady vs the Imposter could be an interesting match, but I'd need to make up his profile first.
 
Sabotage can give Impostor a big advantage. He could turn off the lights and then just nuke Skeld with reactor sabotage and close the doors to reactor. Him being able to sabotage only one thing at once is likely a game mechanic.
 
It can't fix the reactor alone. And Impostor's guns are 9-B, enough to at least destroy thing, forcing it to waste time by regenerating.
 
ok then they might be human but the impostors gun is rated 9-C right now and will be treated so in this match
you can make a CRT about this to get their gun upgraded later
