Goddamn. I go away to grab something to eat and it's a stormfront-eating free-for-all again.
Let's see. Where was I?
Well, that was the original point that I mentioned, which you are still denying via massive detours.
Massive detours? Like what? You're trying to make it seem like you've struck some sort of gold here. I said the fact that Storm can affect the weather within an enclosed space, like a forcefield, makes Doom's forcefield irrevelant". You jumped on it like a dog in heat, saying, "NAH UH! NAH UH! There are things Storm can't do to him when he has his field up, so it's not irrevelant! So there!!!". I then said, "Fine. The fact that Storm can affect the weather within an enclosed space, like a forcefield, makes Doom's forcefield ALMOST irrevelant". That's not a detour - you want to make a big deal out of wordplay, that's on you.
Then gracefully concede the point.
I added in "almost irrevelant" and "nearly ineffective", didn't I? Should I add "please?" to it?
Yes it will. In fact, the only way that statement is correct is if it's technically impossible to reduce 0% effectiveness.
Nonsense. The only thing Doom's forcefield earns him is the inability of Storm to affect him from the outside in. But when Storm can affect the environment inside of Doom's forcefield, what in the holy hell does she care about throwing hail at him? That's like me with a gatling gun trying to rob that boxer from your "analogy" before. Sure, he could say, "I'm a boxer, I've taken punches from the best in the world. You're never gotta punch me out and take my money". Well, TECHNICALLY that's true. And technically, his fighting training will "limit" my options on how to rob him because I couldn't just beat it out of him. But I have a damn gatling gun. I don't give a rats ass about punching him - I'll just shoot him and take his money. lol.
So will Doom's forcefield "limit" Storm's effectiveness? ok, sure, if you wanna play with semantics. But will it affect the outcome of this battle? No more so than my lack of punching power will affect my ability to walk out with your dead boxer's money...
Also I note you added a second clause that wasn't previously part of the debate. I think it's called 'weaselling out'. Let's stick to the terms as mentioned.
I never weasel out of anything - and certainly not against you. What was this second clause that you claim I added that wasn't previously part of the debate? I did no such thing.
Removing primary offensive attacks- and let's not kid ourselves, when does Storm create a mini tidal wave inside someone's left ventricle? (NB she doesn't, she flies up and makes it windy)- will reduce her options, and her effectiveness.
Tidal wave in--? I never said that. I said she could do it from within Doom's forcefield, rendering it ineffective, and even a liability.
Again, that's not what I said at any point. I said the point is wrong, and it was a speculative attempt to keep this (frankly ridiculous) thread alive. You tried to discount Doom's forcefield because one attack doesn't fall against it.
If Storm has 50 attacks and three of them depend on external events that can't be reproduced within a confined space, then who cares about those three attacks? And who cares about the forcefield that blocks them? Of COURSE I'm discounting Doom's forcefield, because there are more things she can do despite the forcefield than she can't do BECAUSE of it. Doom's forcefield, in this fight, is very easily discounted.
Even if it's *only* "almost" completely ineffective.
heh.
