    Default Kenshiro vs. Halo *nods*

    This is less of a versus thread and more of a "can he replicate those feats?" thread.

    Because otherwise, it's pretty obvious Ken could roflstomp most Halo threats.

    The challenges: Ken has to survive/perform every feat Master Chief has of orbital reentry or stuff of that nature. Chief has hit the ground covered in a fireball from orbit twice. Can Ken survive a similar experience? .

    Also, can Ken do this? :P

    Can Ken hit hard enough to destroy Guilty Spark?

    Ken vs The Flood. I'm curious on 2 things. 1: Can they physically infect him if they latch on properly? Or will he push the infection out of his body?

    2: Can he engage in dialogue with the Gravemind and resist the Logic Plague?

    Ummm... maybe? I mean, he'd probably quite hurt by it but I'm not certain he would die. He's proven himself to be fireproof enough in the past and so on so it's just the impact he'd need to worry about and Kenshiro's been hit hard enough to shake mountains and destroy stone castles before so I'd imagine he'd be okay.

    There's nothing in that clip that Ken couldn't physically do. Hit his breath control pressure point, he's only actually in space for like... what a minute or so. He'd likely damage his eyes but he's regenerated from being blinded in the past so he should be alright.

    I mean, I'd question him knowing exactly where to throw the bomb for maximum effect.

    I don't know what this is.

    Well, Muso Tensei and his speed advantage means they won't be able to touch him but... the infection seems like it would beat out anything Kenshiro could do. Especially since it would alter his human physiology as it spreads which is what Hokuto Shinken works on and spreads really fast. I could see him like... cutting off his own limb or whatever to preserve the rest of his body.

    2: Can he engage in dialogue with the Gravemind and resist the Logic Plague?
    I don't know what this is but Kenshiro isn't exactly a good diplomat. He is noticeably reticent beyond certain key phrases.

    Guilty Spark is the Monitor AI of Halo. He has a gravity field capable of pushing Chief away when close. His actual physical durability is such that it takes 3 consecutive blasts from an energy beam capable of one shotting "fuuuuuture" tanks before he falls.

    I don't know... maybe? I vaguely recall seeing a friend do this "boss fight," way back.

    The... Spartan Laser is mostly heat based damage as I recall while Kenshiro specialises more in impact. If he's just allowed free shots at it then he'll probably get it eventually.

    Can't Ken shoot his own lasers? Or are they fairly weak in comparison to his physical blows?

    The Logic Plague. Think of it as a form a subtle telepathic corruption mixed with actual debate based argumentation. Gravemind usually uses it in it's pure logical form to corrupt the thinking of super computers and AI but can argue organics into psychopathy, whatever, just fine.

    Basically, im wondering if Ken has anything to suggest he could.... I dunno what a close example would be... uhh, resist the One Ring or something like that.

    His lasers are somewhat potent but again, they are more forces beams than heat beams and thus not really directly comparable to the Spartan Laser. Ken definitely punches harder though but we don't know how much physical impact the Guilty Spark can take. I think he could do it but there's some variables there.

    In terms of the logic virus, what's it trying to get Kenshiro to do exactly? He's got willpower for days but there are certainly psychological weaknesses in there.

    He couldn't really resist the One Ring, based on what I know of him. He lacks the correct psyche profile for it.
