Alex vs. Cole

Started by Nemesis X11 pages

I think Kessler only time traveled because of that device on his arm. I doubt that he gained the super power to travel through time because that would be overdoing it for Cole don't you think?

Not at all, I just don't understand how it worked.

But I suppose it is true that the Sphere never actually was stated to only give electrical powers. It might have bestowed some other gifts to people.

I bet Zeke got some powers and we find out in the next game.

I think Kessler traveled through time by using that robotic arm of his. I saw buttons on that arm. Kessler pushes them to make a day, month and year and pushes the main button to appear in that timeline. It's possible.

I did find a Dead Drop that had one of Kessler's audio diaries. He said something about a test subject gaining the ability to fly right when the Sphere activated next to him.

If Zeke had powers, he would've used them instead of his gun to attack Kessler.

I believe we've also heard about varying times of development in the power progression.

I think it depends on how good you get with the electrical powers. Or maybe electricity is just the easiest to manipulate, with it being the most abundant and volatile and all.

Yeah, I really haven't. I quit playing it after I realized it was just like Hulk: UD.

Glad I rented it.

Cole can't even take 2 shots without needing health. One hit from Alex Cole would be dead.

I don't see his electricity doing much damage if he has to consistently zap people to finish them. not to mention Alex can definately outrun cole's slow aiming

His in-game durability means nothing.

The problem with that is the fact that Kessler was STATED using his powers to travel back in time.

It took Cole 2 weeks to start understanding his powers. Zeke ain't necessarily mastering his in 24 hours, and even if he does, he isn't experienced enough with it and surely trust a gun more than a spark.

Cole can tank easily 20 shots in-game. And that's without his energy field maxed out.

Gameplay Mechanic, just like every shooter.

Master Cheif can spin around a hell of a lot faster than it takes you to do it on the controller. In reality, all Cole does is point his arm and shoot. Quick and easy.

Now I think of it, he can take a train hit better than bullets

He can also leap off a tower that is over 500meters high and land on the ground without taking damage.

real life: leap from a 500m building > bullet hit by a train > bullet

Infamous: leap from 500m building < bullet hit by a train < bullet

I take it cole's real weakness next to water is bullets 😐

Cole can get killed by less than 20 bullets and Alex can take more than 100 bullets.

Hit by an atmoic bomb > Struck by lightning

Alex will just find Cole's lightning attacks irritating.

Lightning would not focus on doing damage to your bones and skin, it just fries your nervous system so that you can't do anything. In Alex's case, Lightning probably would do more damage than an atomic bomb.

Cole's still chanceless, I just don't want you guys thinking he'd get totally raped. Without Alex's insane regeneration I give this to Cole.

Actually, regular lightning usually burns holes into whatever it strikes. Plus the additional damage of nervous attacks.

However, being at ground zero for an atom bomb is much more devastating. Usually when you're that close, you're vaporized, I'd say that's more damage then getting hit by lightning.

The only Lightning attack Cole would have that'd get hot enough to burn holes into anything is when he calls down the huge bolt from the sky that sends trucks flying.

A regular shot from his arm isn't anywhere near that much voltage. A regular shot from him probably packs enough voltage to fry a normal person in one or two hits.

I think what I'm doing is using the word "lightning" when I should be using the word "electricity." My bad. >.<

If an atom bomb would vaporize you, then Alex couldn't regenerate since there wouldn't be anything left to regenerate from. He either wasn't at ground zero or it isn't regeneration, it'd be more like pulling your molecules back together like the Sandman.

Is there any video of the ending? I want to see what his regeneration looks like.

...Fry your nervous system lol?

Alex completely regenerated his nervous system and the rest of his body from a puddle, did he not?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

I dunno, I thought I had something that might let Cole actually win, but it's still probably nothing.

YouTube video

Here is the atomic bomb feat in question.

I can't see much from that, but he wasn't at ground zero if I made it out right, he was riding the helicopter away.

Anyway, if that was actually Alex in a puddle, pulling himself back together, that's not even regeneration, that's something better than regeneration.

Hell, he's obviously not human. He might not require oxygen or even have a nervous system anymore. Does he even bleed in the game?

It does look like he needed that crow in order to pull himself back together though, so it's not instant regeneration.
