> Did you make this thinking you knew the victor before the match even started?
No, and to clear up anything- this was suggested to me a bit after the Lich was added by someone (I forget who) in chat. I also don't have a particular favor to either character, I've interacted with EtG much more recently, but I find Alex Mercer consistently being a really cool character. I actually convinced a friend to make him up as a superhero for Champions, a tabletop RPG based around Superheroes. I chose Spawn, if anyone is curious.
> Yes it is absolutely a counter, this is common sense
No, it isn't. Portals are something Mercer has no experience with whatsoever, and the portals have worked on people experienced in countering homing attacks. Additionally, Mercer would have to dodge them for a day to have won- this seems like a near impossibility unless Mercer has the power to instinctively dodge all attacks (don't remember which one, I think Whis has it?)
> Dodging an attack that forms inside your eternal organs, okay
The Lich has no "eternal" organs. What even is this.
> Type 4 isn't helpful, it's effectively a stronger version of Type 2 that makes your body stronger
"4: Immortality via godhood, or protection from a deity: A character that was either granted immortality by a god"
Nothing about the above implies it is merely an improved form of Type 2, which is just resisting attacks (a la Berserker Armor). However, I agree, this would also classify as Type 8. So long as you understand the methodology of Lich's immortality. It is both. Please, no headcanon-esque descriptions of powers. Type 4 is literally protection from a deity, which is what the Lich has. I'll talk to Kalt about adding Type 8 if it will make things easier for people to understand, but that immortality is on his page.
Now I, too, should sleep. You'll know whether or not I was successful in achieving sleep in a few hours if I come back lol. Night folks.
