Thread ender Vs Thread ender

Responses (theoretically) guaranteed to end a thread before its even begun.
Top contenders:

Speed steal
Bubble to the brain
Pillar of salt
Sleep pellets
Door
Spite
Erase from reality
Speed blitz
TP
(Insert your own)

Which are most/least valid, which is most overused/do you use, which is easiest/hardest to argue against...

Hulk is Hulk.
They get Alpha Flight'd.
lol Colossus loses

Re: Thread ender Vs Thread ender

Speed steal - powerful, but not always unstoppable.
Bubble to the brain - also powerful, but even weaker than speedsteal (eg Black Adam had Dr Morrow tesseract a space in his brain the size of a football field!!! All it did was KO him for a while).
Pillar of salt - Salt is POWERFUL LOL
Sleep pellets - depends on whose launching them. If it is Batman, then even TOAA is at risk ...
Door - See sleep pellets, but substitute Midnighter for Batman
Spite - this is a hard one. Reason being that it is used by (i) people who know what they’re taking about, and (ii) people who are either trolls or totally uninformed. Examples of the latter are many ...take any thread with Thanos or Hulk for example ...
Erase from reality - very powerful, but can be defeated by speed blitz.
Speed blitz - very powerful, but can be defeated by erase from reality.
TP - used to be used VERY often on KMC five or so years ago, but nowadays TP battles are very rare on the forum.

The most powerful though is the following:
-> Any thread that is DC versus Marvel. It will (inevitably) have:
(A) the SAME four people come and say Marvel stomps (including two who have never said DC wins in anything ...you could put Superman vs Colossus, and those two characters would say ‘Colossus stomps’ and, as always, with zero explanation why their fevered minds arrived at that conclusion), and
(B) another two people who will similarly come out and say DC wins (no matter what, DC wins ...particularly certain caped characters).
That is the most powerful force on KMC because it (i) quickly destroys any logical debate on that thread and (ii) it’s often a waste of time trying to convince the four pro-Marvel/anti-DC and two pro-DC/anti-Marvel posters.

Also, null field 👆

Black Alice
Misdirection
Time Stop

Bfr, most thread needs it off to make it competitive. Most non flyers, non teleporters, or non speedsters are screwed.

^^^forgot BFR.
Great call.

Thanks for the breakdown, spetzaz, that was -really- helpful!

speed blitz comes in handy especially in superman vs thor debates

In terms of effectiveness, Speed blitz beat them all, since it, followed closely by time stop.

They're basically the same thing.

As far as actually stopping threads.... No one really accepts speed stomps anymore. Threads more likely to be extended by them.

I'd say at the moment, the top ender of threads is Midnighters computer brain, followed by Door. Often deployed as an "I win" button, and not as widely argued against, or outright ignored, compared to the rest.

Because he's Batman.

The one saving grace to that last, is Midnighter’s not omni present in threads!

Flash is THE thread-ender. great_dane said it best:

well Iv'e given ways that flash would easily take this idiot down. how would exitar beat him?

thor was able to crack his armor, flash hitting him with a couple million infinate mass punches to the tempo would kill him, instantly.

flash would be able to use heat touch and melt his armor off his head, then (at speeds of light) shit on him like a toilet

My favorite poster of all time, btw. 👆

cry babies

speed steal is effectively impossible to argue against unless you go through pure speculation--and even that is difficult to make sound reasonable. fortunately it comes up rarely enough. most know by now flash is haxx in a forum setting and generally makes for sh!tty debates.

most matter maniup (and i'd include brain bubble) can be countered in some way, though it can be tough and depends on the character. spite is spite. bad threads are bad threads. we can say things like "for the sake of discussion" or try neutering someone. even making claims to comics (as funny as it sounds) doesn't help because in some ways the forum is anathema to what goes on in comics, where pis and narrative take precedence.

bfr is awful and boring and incontestable if not eliminated in some match ups and tp is incontestable as well depending on match ups. those all go back to the same thing--terrible match ups. generally all these endings can be avoided if a match up is well considered.

i think i've been here longer then you and i don't even remember that guy...did he have a different username at some point?

Nah, that was his only username. Not sure if he was a sock, though, but his posts are f*cking gold. Honestly worth a search.

He was posting back in 2007ish.

2007?? geezus. and you remember him? must be gold. 😂

If you get bored, read some of his posts... I promise you won't be disappointed:

...You'll soon understand WHY he's my all-time fav. 👆

I went to one of his threads.

Saw batdude and xmarksthespot there. Nostalgia instantly kicked in.

What are you doing to me, Galan?
