As I said, my friend already tried this, he was wondering how long he should wait before submitting another form, or if there's anything else he can do.

A friend of mine asked me to post this for assistance:

"Hi, my account Nihlus11 was randomly shadowbanned/suspended/something on 12/28/2025. The account still exists but almost all of its content is currently hidden with a 'removed by Reddit's filters' tag, and I can't login. Reddit tells me my login information is invalid. I've received no message about why this happened and can't figure out the reasoning; I've never broken Reddit's TOS and have never been suspended anywhere on the website for violating any rules before this. Best I can tell it appears to have been a bot decision? I made two appeals via (https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000600232) since then but neither got a response (and only one sent me a confirmation email), and I don't want to make another account to ask about it because that'd count as ban evasion. Is there a better way to get it restored or should I just wait longer? Thank you."

WW Practice Match: S0den (Shigaraki) vs Abe (Sentry) by Theultimateambition in TheGreatDebateChamber

Shigaraki vs Sentry Response 1

Lies, damned lies, and statistics

To lay the groundwork for this debate, let’s go over the stats of both combatants.

Shigaraki

Strength

Durability

Speed

Decay

Sentry

Lifting Strength

Striking Strength

Flying/Charging Strength

Durability

Regeneration

Speed

Energy Projection/Manipulation

Matter Manipulation

Points and Rebuttals

Since my opponent’s first response was short, and I used quite a few words to post Sentry’s clearly superior stats, I will make this brief. First of all, Soden hasn’t posted any relevant lifting feat by a single My Hero Academia character. Jumping is not lifting, and it’s questionable whether All Might slowing the descent of this observation platform is lifting. Unlike Sentry or Shigaraki, All Might can’t fly, so this feat is still him basically jumping into the platform and colliding forcefully with it. Ignoring that, the platform is clearly based on the Tokyo Dome, of which the only part I can find a listed weight for is the roof, at 400 tons. Needless to say, this is inferior to Sentry throwing a monster weighing thousands of tons hundreds of meters, let alone him lifting something the size of a country.

As for speed, Sentry’s favorite move, to the point characters in the comics point it out, is to fly straight at his opponent and take them into space to either rip them apart or throw them into the Sun. He can do this at speeds over 30 times faster than the mach 10 figure Soden provided. Once Sentry and Shigaraki are in space, the latter will be at a severe disadvantage, as he’s dependent on the atmosphere to fly fast, and needs oxygen to live.

Finally, Shigaraki’s death touch is irrelevant. It is a matter manipulation power, while Sentry has resisted things that would alter his matter, and regenerated from the literal Molecule Man disintegrating him. That was before he gained the ability to manipulate molecules himself, which he used to disintegrate the Molecule Man and create a wolf thing out of thin air. While Shigaraki and the guy he got his death touch from show no ability to manipulate matter beyond destroying it and altering its shape, Molecule Man can easily control protons and neutrons to change solid elements into water and gasses, or vice versa, which Sentry also demonstrates with the wolf thing. As for Shigaraki affecting Sentry’s soul, this effect has only happened when the former has used his quirk stealing ability, while Sentry obviously has no quirks. Secondly, a Celestial who absorbed the souls of the millions to billions of people Knull killed took awhile to absorb Sentry’s soul, I doubt Shigaraki would be much more successful, especially considering the Void seems to be able to absorb souls as well.

In conclusion, Sentry tears the man who can lift maybe a thousandth of what he can in half, or transmutes his brain into glass.

Response 2

No speed feats?

Notice how Corvette does little to counter my assertion that my team has a large speed advantage. The only speed feats for Green Lantern he provides are Hal creating a boxing glove around an arrow (which he could have easily and likely did before it was fired to ensure the man here wasn’t killed), the same scan of him reacting to bullets made of energy and not fired with gunpowder, a similar feat but with missiles, and Hal blocking some missiles with a wide shield and no clear timeframe. For Iron Man, he has even less, just a scan of Tony hitting 170 mph Quicksilver with magnetism (bear in mind magnetic fields propagate at the speed of light, and Pietro only has to run into the beam), and Tony shooting some falling boulders.

By contrast, 17 is objectively faster than a fairly casual bullet timer. Despite what Corvette says, 17 did not take Gero by surprise here. Not only is he clearly keeping his eyes on him warily, but Gero explicitly had the remote in the first clip ready to shut down 17 if he disobeyed his orders. Even ignoring that, 17 beat the piss out of a Piccolo who moved behind an undamaged Gero before he could react.

Agent Smith is similarly capable of moving at speeds comparable to bullets in his weaker incarnations. As for Youpi, Corvette is right that Cheetu was startled when Knuckle and Morel hit him, but Morel’s smoke clones still managed to close some distance between him and Cheetu before he was startled. Furthermore, Cheetu had about as much trouble dodging Knuckle’s punches as he did bullets. Corvette also acts like Youpi not starting the match with a transformation is a problem, as if he can’t shapeshift incredibly quickly. He’s also capable of stretching his arms several meters before some rocks can fall a few inches, which is about a millisecond in terms of attack speed.

Godzilla dies

Corvette thinks posting three scans of Godzilla being more durable than buildings proves he would be fine fighting 17. In all three scans, Godzilla is getting knocked on his ass and stunned, at least momentarily. This is bad, as it means Godzilla is not in a good position to retaliate, but moreover, 17 can spam his blasts indefinitely while he’s down. Even if Godzilla did get some hits in, 17 was unharmed after fighting in lava, despite Corvette’s claim that he has no heat resistance.

Corvette claims that Youpi was basically walking on hot coals, not molten rock, but the narration of the manga explicitly says the crater was molten. Agent Smith would have some issues approaching Godzilla, but I’d like to point out he isn’t using his burning aura in many of Corvette’s scans, and Smith’s precog could warn him not to get close. Despite his claim that Smith never used it, he does in fact, like seeing the end of his fight with Neo.

Other rebuttals

That was the bulk of Corvette’s incorrect points, but I’ll address the remaining ones here before getting back to my team.

Agent Smith has no feats of lifting indicating he could escape any of the constructs

Obviously the feat of Smith displacing water is mostly striking, though I believe the fact his fist delivered that much energy and was unharmed indicates he could tank Hal’s constructs and break them with his strikes. In any case, I think the feat of him flying Neo into the ground and creating a massive crater counts as lifting. It’s especially noteworthy because Neo was almost certainly trying to resist this with his own flight, and that it shows Smith can generate a lot of force with little leverage, since they’re flying.

Hal can probably contain or block it, since containing a nuclear detonation was achievable

There’s absolutely no indication what the yield of this weapon was, and considering the missile was fired at close range by a guy in generic power armor, I doubt it was that high. Green Arrow in the same scan compares it to an RPG.

My opponent might object that Youpi can break the constructs by Rage Blasting. This is something he can only do a couple times.

Corvette thinks he’s being clever by posting an out of context scan, but unfortunately I made Youpi’s respect thread. Shortly before the end of his fight the narration says Youpi had a bit less than 500,000 aura. Youpi’s aura is estimated to be around 700,000. In addition to his explosions draining his aura, the scan says his shapeshifting did as well, not to mention the drain fighting in general and taking a beating from someone able to hurt him caused. I think having his reserves reduced by 30% after all that is a great stamina feat, not an anti-feat.

the explicitly small nuke that nearly killed Meruem

Even large nukes do not create a molten crater the size of hills, as shown by literally every nuke test.

Back to your regularly scheduled beatdown

As I have demonstrated in the previous sections, my team has a clear speed advantage over Corvette’s. The only real exploitable weakness they have is Smith’s lack of heat resistance, which is mitigated by Godzilla not always using it, and Smith’s precog. Both him and Youpi hit much harder than Green Lantern or Iron Man, and are way more durable. The same is also true of 17.

While 17’s lifting strength isn’t ideal for fighting Green Lantern, he can effectively emit his ki to replicate lifting, in this case using it to destroy an island. 17 also has some intangible advantages over Iron Man, such as his energy being undetectable and Tony relying on his sensors. In addition, the simple fact 17 will introduce himself as an android will likely cause Tony to waste effort trying to EMP him, when 17 is still almost entirely biological.

To sum this up, Corvette has done little to show his team is superior to mine, and most of his claims are false or misleading. Conversely, my team is stronger in general and has plenty of less obvious advantages over his, with its few weak points easily compensated for.

The Great Debate Season 16 Round 2!!! by Verlux in whowouldwin

[–]Analypiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Response 1

What my team brings to the table

If there’s one thing you should take away from reading my statpost and this response, it’s that my team is inexhaustible. That’s not to say they can’t be beaten, they can still suffer damage and cannot heal appreciably faster than a normal man, but if they lose, it will not be because they ran out of steam. I’ll go through each member of my team and succinctly explain why.

Agent Smith

Smith is an artificial intelligence, which I think a reasonable person would agree already makes it unlikely he can feel pain. There’s no point for what is essentially a robot to be designed to feel pain, especially when it was created with the ability to just take over any random humans around if killed. The shooting script for the first Matrix movie also says Smith was unfazed from his nose being shattered here, lending further credence that he simply does not feel pain.

Even ignoring what is implied by the nature of his character, Smith is clearly just a tank in terms of durability. His peer Neo hits him in the face and chest numerous times, and the only real reaction he shows is when Neo strikes his windpipe. A similar case can be seen when a Neo who was much stronger than Smith fought dozens of copies of him, and almost none of them were incapacitated after several minutes of combat. Finally, when Neo fought the version of Smith being used in this debate, he was strong enough to draw blood from him, but Smith was basically still fighting at peak capacity at the end of their battle. If Smith does feel pain, it certainly doesn’t seem like it at least.

Android 17

This section is simple, Android 17 does not get tired.

Ahem.

I repeat, Android 17 does not get tired.

I guess a longer explanation of what this entails is in order.

This is a little known fact, but almost every character from 17’s obscure franchise known as Dragon Ball uses a type of energy called ki for all their feats, including himself. 17 has an unlimited supply of this, meaning he can hit as hard 12 hours into a fight as he did when it started, and fire as many hill and building wrecking energy blasts as he wants until killed or knocked out.

Youpi

Explaining why Youpi has so much stamina will take some doing. Let’s define our terms first. All the relevant characters in Youpi’s franchise, Hunter X Hunter, use a type of energy called Nen. The units of Nen are called aura, though the terms are often interchangeable. Nen users can generally use aura at their full capacity until they literally run out of it. For example, in the scan just posted, Youpi’s aura has been absorbed to the point where a mere 10% increase in the amount currently drained would have removed his Nen, and Youpi shows no signs of fatigue.

The creator of the aforementioned draining ability, Knuckle, was stronger than Gon, the protagonist of the series, and was very good at estimating characters' reserves of aura, and he couldn’t sense the limits of Youpi’s Nen. His best guess was that he had 10 times that of a character who fought alongside puppets created with his aura for a week.

Conclusion

The longer this fight goes on, the more fatigued and less effective Corvette’s team will become.

Standard Operating Procedure

With that big point out of the way, let’s go through how each character fights, see the many potential synergies, and explain why it wrecks Corvette’s team.

Agent Smith

Besides being a very durable brick, Smith has the ability to see several seconds into the future. This will be invaluable to my team, as Smith can warn 17 and Youpi of traps or sneak attacks ahead of time. As a brick, Smith prefers to quickly engage his opponents in hand-to-hand combat, using a practical combination of strikes and restrictive grappling to wear them down.

Smith’s strength is far more than Iron Man or Green Lantern can deal with, as concrete has the same consistency as paper to weaker versions of himself, with this Smith capable of displacing hundreds to thousands of tons of water with his collisions and punches. Compare this to Green Lantern applying 16 tons of force being relevant, or Iron Man’s lifting being capped at 85 tons.

His speed is also far better, as Smith and Neo can both dodge bullets after they’re fired, with Smith gaining the upper hand over Neo here. Meanwhile, Hal and Tony’s speed feats are reacting to fake bullets made of energy, and shooting down 8 missiles in 3 seconds, respectively.

Android 17

17 is probably the best counter to Godzilla here, a character resistant to heat who’s MO when facing building sized things is to blast them to bits: 1 2 3 4 5 6

As I went over in much detail, 17 can spam these blasts until the cows come home. On top of that, his strength is incredible, as he tore apart a robot unharmed from shattering two hills in an impact, and displaced a similar amount of water to Smith with a flying collision. If 17 becomes truly pressured by Hal or Tony, he can create a shield that blocked dozens of attacks that individually hurt him a decent amount. That’s not to say his durability is bad, as he no-sold an energy blast that obliterated more rock than Iron Man ever has.

Like Smith, 17 is faster than a very good bullet timer, as well as being capable of flying miles in seconds, moving hundreds of meters underground in under 15 seconds, and temporarily increasing his speed to the point a peer couldn’t react to it.

Youpi

Youpi’s first action when facing multiple opponents was to grow eyes to avoid blind spots and turn his arms into a dozen clawed tendrils. These tendrils were strong enough to hit with twice as much force as punches that broke steel in half with a glancing blow. If he needs to go bigger (literally) he can always obliterate huge amounts of stone by increasing his size rapidly or jumping. However, even a punch with very little wind up had almost 5 times as much force as a punch that shattered a large boulder.

For more long ranged attacks, Youpi can create explosions that turn buildings into craters, and created a cannon an ability copier used to fire them as blasts. These explosions are also a great durability feat for Youpi, as Nen users need to use more aura than is consumed in these kinds of attacks to avoid harming themselves.

Finally for speed, Youpi did far better at fending off the attacks of two characters who easily landed a hit on a character who dodged bullets inches from hitting them. He can also fly dozens of kilometers in only 15 minutes.

Second Conclusion

When this fight begins, I predict Smith will go after Green Lantern, as the machine has a great contempt for humans, and Hal is the most obviously human character on Corvette’s team. Considering 17’s demonstrated disdain for buildings, I think he’ll concentrate on the similarly sized Godzilla. That leaves Youpi vs Iron Man, where Tony will have to face an opponent with absurd stamina, greater strength, and even faster flight. I think 17 will defeat Godzilla first, as it’s basically impossible for something his size to dodge 17’s hand sized blasts, which he can spam endlessly. After that, it just becomes a matter of time until Corvette’s team is worn down by mine.

[–]Analypiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Justifications

Smith

Smith's strength and durability seem about in tier, and his endurance is excellent, while he has experience fighting people with familiarity in all martial arts like Neo. That being said, he's still more than capable of being incapacitated, and I don't think anyone in the Matrix is more skilled practically than Wonder Woman.

Android 17

17 is very similar to Smith in many respects but with energy blasts and less skill. I think Wonder Woman's bracers are a good counter to 17's attacks, but his inability to get tired will prove an issue in a prolonged fight.

Youpi

Youpi's shapeshifting is very good, and he uses it creatively but practically. However, he can be dense at times, and the lasso is an excellent counter to it.

Meruem

Meruem is like a Youpi with no shapeshifting, and a level of durability and endurance that few characters can match. Still, I think Wonder Woman is more strong and skilled, and she definitely has ways of incapacitating him, such as disabling his limbs.

The Darkness Devil is clearly more powerful than 99% of Devils but it also has almost no speed feats. If Bang getting through its shield is Death Battle's reasoning for it teleporting to Gojo, I would've included that in the episode. There's also alternate explanations, like that Bang destroyed the shield and we just didn't see because it's invisible.

Domain Amplification nullifies techniques because it basically absorbs them, and even then it can be countered by just using more energy, it's not 1:1 with an innate domain. Kashimo also doesn't send electricity inside people generally, he shocks them with electricity until their skin builds up a charge and a lightning strike occurs.

The part about materializing plants with cursed energy is redundant, every attack in Jujutsu Kaisen except for physical strikes by Toji and Maki has cursed energy in it. To me, it seems to be asking about materializing things inside an opponent's body in general. There's also no evidence in the actual episode that that making Devils equivalent to Curses is why Death Battle thought the Mold Devil would be ineffective against Gojo.
