How to Beat A Precog Combatant?

Give me the ability to open doors. I'll put one right under his feet.

release a pheromone that gets everyone super Hi.

then even if he can predict his reaction time would be nil

Great post. 👍

Carver may be on to something, actually.

If the predictions are based on measurements made of the real world around us....extra dimensional attacks wouldn't be registered.

Carver is butthurt. Y i dont know but it's apparent.

I think someone with probability manip/luck powers should do the trick nicely like Domino/Jinx...they should overcome it easily

Lol...it's not butthurt at all. This is me mentioning a tactic that will work. It's unbeatable.

👆 Agreed with all parts of this post.

Luck powers, by their nature, take the improbable and make them probable.

Had you said they precogd by body reading, I was going to use a shapeshifter or invisibility.

Schizo powers like Typhoid Mary may also work.

Or Maddrox. Just overwhelm it with sheer numbers.

It's not unbeatable. Stop looking at scans. There's more ways to defeat a character than perusing a respect thread. Anyone with phase/density control, time sync, shape shifting, probability manip, illusion casting, enhanced iq, malleable physiology, spatial awareness...to name a few can overcome doors

Would magic based powers work as well?

I mean, by its very nature you shouldn't be able to levitate - too heavy, not enough energy etc. But flying is a simple spell for any comic mage.

To overcome doors or precog? If its the former i dont see y not. Bfr isnt a game ender unless your powers are extremely limited/1dimensional. If you're midnighter and youre trying to push me thru a gateway id use the same tactics as countering someone trying to push me thru a regular old door. If its the latter then no i dont see it

More esoteric? I'd expand my wavefunction, decohere all my superposed of states of being, so that the precog can't tell which "me" is going to act. I mean, if Afterthought can use a quantum effect, so can I. Note: this is not the same as duplicating myself: that occurs in the explicate world, which the precog could predict. Expanding my wavefunction would occur on the implicate level, the source of his precog (well, Afterthought's, anyway), thus leveling the playing field. Basically, I'm projecting multiple probabilities.

I love this approach, kudos to you. It is IMPOSSIBLE to predict which one of the various outcomes described by the quantum wavefunction will actually take place. They are all equally "real" until the actual event occurs. That's why, these days, such processes are used e.g. to generate "true" random numbers. The precog could at best find out the most probable scenario, which might still be very very unlikely if the wavefunction is complicated enough.

Would the AI/nano machines be able to measure magical energy fluctuations as well then?

I dont see why not. Magical energy isnt exactly foreign in fiction. The AI is ingrained in every aspect of that reality. I sure it could sense the fluctuations. However magic being deus ex and not being bound by physical laws should be difficult for a machine to predict.

Do you speificAlly need powers cause if not I'm kind of cheating. I just saw a clip with an almost exact scenario with the new justice league cartoon. I would've never have thought this up but if everythkng is peaked then my brain would be as well and it would only be a matter of time. Anyway batman is fighting cronos who activates a device allowing him to see a couple of seconds ahead and so bats drops a smoke screen and catches him from behind.
