The Tier Allocation of Ultimate Kars

This seems like a issue that has come up and settled before. However, I do believe that these are points that many miss in how he should be scaled to other universes. I am new and while I have read the rules somewhat throughly, I cannot figure out if these ideas can be supported depending upon how ridged the tier system may be when considering hax.

1. I understand giving him the tier 8A in the JoJo verse itself as he does not have access to anything that would make him beyond that in his verse. That stipulation aside, due to the battle neutral rules of the VS wiki I have read, why wouldn't he be able to copy any ability that has a genetic basis. Within his universe he can copy the genetics of anything on earth, which is the totality of genetic permutations/combination in JoJo and Kars has the totality of genetic permutation/combination in general. Why wouldn't he have the totality of genetic permutations of any universe he fights if you make his abilities universe neutral, henceforth allowing him to acquire any naturally/genetically passed down power he sees due to his power to copy such abilities due to his 400 IQ.

2. If he can copy an ability, due to him being past peak evolution along with the noted feat of him having above peak Hamon as hot as the sun, he should then be able to copy any natural ability of any universe he is in at above peak or at the very least at the same level, unless the ability explicitly keeps him from being able to do this.

3. I have seen in an argument that Kars cannot utilize inorganic material as his powers are purely organic, this is contradicted by him using the melted rock material absorbed from Magna to create armor along with the air around him. He has no feats backing him being able to utilize other inorganic material and I won't argue this point much further, it's simply food for thought if anyone wishes to argue that idea, especially considering that inorganic substances are derived from natural substances and I see no reason why he cannot use his composite animal abilities to super synthesize materials within his own body.

4. I understand that there should be other limits to this power, for instance if a universe contradicts conventional genetics or if the power may not be obtained naturally anywhere in the universe, then he should not be able to obtain it. Some may also stipulate that he may have to be attacked by or at least see the power before he may use it, which is indeed consistent with his power set, this makes him particularly venerable to reality warpers as their types of powers tend not to occur naturally and he would have to see it in action before he can copy it, opening the possibility he is insta erased.

In conclusion I am arguing that while within his own universe he is 8A his tier should actually dependent on who he is fighting if he is in another universe. Thank you for reading.
 
Correction, at the end of the thread I mean his tier should be dependent on who he is fighting if going by standard battle rules
 
I really don't think he should have a higher tier based on another verse. Maaaaaaybe with prep, but even then that's way too much NLF territory.

And technically he could use other systems of power. If we assume neutral universe/verse equalization would give him chakra for instance, I wouldn't be surprised if he became Orochimaru 2.0 with enough time to learn.
 
I mean, if Kars fought MHA guys whose powers come from genetic mutations, with previous knowledge he should be able to copy them.

It's pretty OoC for him though.
 
Is it? He copied Hamon to prove he was better than Joseph. I can imagine him copying, say, IceFire and using it against Todoroki to prove that he's the superior being
 
Plus it comes naturally to him. He became >>>>> Hamon Masters the literal second he put on the mask, I mean that's something.

He used it because he had a personal grudge against Joseph and Hamon users. Also, it's not like he immediately uses it.
 
Fair. He is an arrogant boi. So bottom line the point of this thread is saying he should get better Power Mimicry of anything genetic and possibly others, plus possibly adding "Varies with Genetic Copying" to his tier?
 
Fair. What do we think of the possibiity of him copying powers from those who aren't present?

E.g. if he's in the Macadamia verse, could he just pick and choose from the whole Quirk catalog since they're natural abilities?
 
I don't see why it shouldn't vary seeing how he gets superior Hamon automatically since he is the fittest creature, shouldn't he become the fittest in any universe. I mean, you can say power syetems require training... but so does Hamon and he just becomes the most powerful being because he has the strongest life force. Could this apply to any equivalent system?
 
That could easily become very NLF, but on a certain level it makes sense. If we add that, we'd have to be very specific with what he's been shown to copy.

That being purely biological abilities and abilities obtained by training and skill, with all others being a hard "possibly"
 
The fittest thing is again due to adaptability, I don't know if I can get outside help by linking YouTube videos on this exact topic, which had prompted this thread when I had noticed many of the points I and the video brought up were not taken into account in many vs threads as I do not think the power mimicry of ultimate Kars, it's workings and ramifications on his tier has been sufficiently addressed previously and so his exact limits have been therefore misplaced.
 
By this very logic, Composite Human would vary too.

I don't think that a character whose Tier varies based on verse equalization is a good idea. Besides, the Enhanced Stone Mask itself just awakes Kars' full potential, allowing him to have the powers of each and every living being in his ow universe. The Mask itself has nothing to do with replicating others' DNA. When he copied Hamon, he just learned a martial art, which can be learned by any human in Jojo, albeit to a much crazier extent.
 
Last thing, taking OPM as an example, anything considered a biological mutation at the cellular level may be able to be copied by ultimate Kars... so if a verse has a monster cell equivalent or something else that mutates, could he gain the abilities of any monster or other mutant, or is that too far as the exact way a monster is formed is undefined?
 
I think if the monster ability already exists he can do it.

I don't think he can make up new powers, just use what is already present to a greater extent. The only times he develops completely unique powers is involuntary adaptation.
 
Don't know how to @ people but creaturemaker essentially said exactly what I mean, although I don't think it breaks NLF as long as it does not violate the rules of the other universe in him using such a hack.
 
Again, Ultimate Kars has nothing to do with Power Mimicry, he can just manipulate his DNA to replicate the abilities of every living creature in his won universe.

He copied Hamon only because Hamon is a martial art that can be learned by any Human.
 
Yes but by the standard battle system he should have the genetics of anything within other universes so it would apply to anything they can do as well
 
Again, I wish to know If I can source the videos because they may provide better understanding and give more points than what is layed out.

Not to our Battle System, as far as know.

Again, by that very logic, Composite Human would gain different Tier, abilities and equipment depending on the character he fights, which obviously doesn't happen in Vs threads with him.
 
@Creaturemaster971 depending on what is decided, woulden't his genetic power mimicry as the fittest being upscale any power he copies making it a different than pure power mimicry?
 
@DMB1 I get what your saying and I understand how what I mean can be misinterpreted, but composite human has to prep to make equipment, on the other hand I'm saying that Kars comes pre equipped to gain that equipment due to the specifics of his ability which on the other hand a composite human would not be given access to on command.
 
I see what your saying and while it would be limited by what it can copy I would say that it could most likely be over 120% because we don't know what the fittest being could theoretically extend an ability outside the JoJoverse, which may not be a NLF, but rather presents a calc and exact AP issue.
 
Saying that we may assume for that universe 120% is the greatest multiplayer in such a hypothetical and as far as Kars May realistically go.
 
And for the last time, I am new... may you please tell me if I can post links to the videos providing evidence to my point. I don't see why I shouldn't and I see nothing in the rules against it, I am just being careful.
 
You can post them it's not a problem. As long as they don't link to dodgy sites and/or **** and similar stuff.
 
Usually on this site it's a good practice to err toward the direction of downplay, until some really solid evidence can be brought up. So I think that gaining buffed versions of specifically biological, genetic, and learned abilities would be reasonable. Anything beyond that can be debated on a case-by-case basis.
 
i agree that Kars should be able to copy powers/adapt as long as it is biological in nature.

so powers that come from the mind,psyche like abnormalities/minus or based on the soul shouldn't be able to be copied by kars
 
Reviewing the videos I think that while it is related, the arguments used here are better applied here, so I changed my mind i won't use the videos.
 
I actually think in certain scenarios that things like magic can be argued on a case by case basis if it is naturally passed down in universe, an example would be the Overlord verse
 
I'm not sure how divinity would work, for example in the Seven Deadly sins the gods are a race of creatures that happen to be more powerful than any others. On the other hand I would say that any beings that are outside the physical realm or are anomalies like Haruhi Suzimiya would be strictly outside the limits of what Kars may copy
 
Well even in Fate, magic is hereditary, but it's a spiritual inheritance rather than physical. So I don't think that Kars could replicate it.
 
It's not hypothetical, it's a very strict and comprehensively spelled out boundary.

It's why in an earlier debate it was determined that Nanami Yasuri couldn't copy Fate magic, even though she basically has the same power as Kars, albeit sight-based
