Met isn't too powerful or too fast for the mc.Met and Evander had a draw whereas mc was starting to win against the twins combined forces.Met only wins because of the match up advantage because his lightning would fuck mc up not because he is too powerful and fast which he isn't in comparison to mc or even Evander.Met wins simply because of the matchup.
Well yeah but it's also true that while in appearance MC and Evander was a bad match-up it was quite the opposite as whatever Evander destroyed has just grew back, meanwhile Met would just waste energy without any way to gain an upper hand
Met would not waste energy, nor would MC survive him, for MC, even currently, is too afraid to get forms of electrifying creatures like eels, or else he would have done so already. Im not saying one bolt would kill MC, but rather that one bolt would stun him while Met continues to ramp more bolts at him until MC loses control. As for tens of thousands of volts, firstly that is not the only thing that affects electricity's power, amperage is also highly important when measuring electric power, but its also extremely low for a lightning bolt to have below 100 million volts, so yeah. Most tasers have about 10000 volts, but none of that matters against MC as the slightest of electric currents make his power run wild. And MC has never shown to be able to shrug off even the weakest of electric attacks, nor was it shown to have changed since level one. I'd even argue it might have gotten worse since his power has grown stronger by hundreds of times and there is more of it to lose control of.
Okay first of all I was talking about MC vs Evander and Met vs Evander. I already said several times how current MC will get destroyed by current Met considering the bad match-up. Second of all, it was just a fucking example, I know electricity isn't only volts, everyone knows that. I don't know how much can MC resist, I only spouted some number to get a very vague image since we haven't seen him interacting with anything electrical.
MC says that trying electric transformations is problematic. However this isn't the same as protecting himself from electricity.
Sure but this doesn't negate anything I said all I talked about was Mc losing because of the match up against Met due to electricity not because Met is too powerful and faster.
Oh no don't worry my dear brother I'm with you, I was just a little bit agitated by the various wrong opinions that were being thrown out
Because all matter made of his cells shares is weakness. MC could transform his whole body to steel, but the weakness would persist ontop of the usual characteristics steel usually would have. If its made from MC, its weak to electricity.
Because as he explains, the material he uses doesn't matter. Metal, plastic, the result is always the same. Once electricity touches him, he explodes.
Some very good points. MC would probably not lose against Met easily, but the matchup is EXTREMELY bad for him. One good hit from Met which MC can't evade/sacrifice the affected limb, would likely cause what happened against Klaus' henchmen with the taser, but Met likely won't let up when seeing MC isn't doing anything. And unless the lightning isn't actually lightning speed, I don't see MC dodging the projectiles consistently, so if anyone has anti-feats for Met's lightning or lightning reaction feats for MC that'd help.
I was saying it COULD be worse. It makes sense; if you have a balloon filled with air, and something makes the air crash into the balloon aggressively, the more air there is the more chance there is for the balloon to burst. But I agree its not confirmed in the slightest.
The way I see it, he doesn't need to dodge. He can just block them by keeping some tentacles between him and Met, the same way he did against Evander (although Evander could actually mow through the tentacles thanks to his power). So unless Met is such a good marksman that can consistently shoot through small gaps against a moving target, or his lightning spear is capable of penetrating multiple obstacles, chances are that he will have huge trouble landing even one.
I wouldn't put it past Met to be a great marksman, considering he was trained from childhood like Micheal and was a mercenary, but I don't know if he's good enough to do what you said. Regardless, I don't think he has to put all his energy into every single one of his bolts, or if he did, he can just attack melee, the electricity should still affect MC, although at lower potency over a larger amount of time, with possibly more precision.
Yeah, which goes back to the trading argument. Tbh, normally I wouldn't expect MC to be able to trade efficiently with Met. Even if MC has become significantly better at melee combat he still has much to learn and Met is both a great warrior and his whole body can be used for defense as long as electricity runs through it.
That's true for base mc form but with the amount of enhancements mc gets through his transformations it isn't true.
I really think in future the electricity would somehow unlock more potential for future like if I remember correctly the electricity destabilized mc cells and the cells started growing before the burst right. Electricity really might do something good for mc in the future lol.
Normally I'd agree with that, the problem is that even if MC can use his best enhancements, every material he makes reacts the same way, be it heavy armor of plain flesh.. Add to it that Met is an energy Superhuman, which means that he should be physically gifted, and the smart money bet on Met being the tougher of the two, at least for this particular instance.
Yeah that's the general sentiment. This growth that MC experiences when struck with electricity seems like a great way to support bigger transformations and faster regeneration using the Eel transformation as the "engine".
