Discussion Complicated scenario: Rudolph conners/Robot (invincible animated series) vs Stephen Holstrom (Pantheon)
hello everyone,
i really Like Pantheon. and i want to know who would win.
lets say, after Rudolph conners (from Invincible) created Rudy, he made an upload of his brain, turning into an UI and gets the cure through MYST.
and then he engages Stephen Holstrom from Pantheon in a fight.
who wins this battle of Minds?
Rudolph as UI vs Stephen Holstrom

I think holstrom would win. He has an intimate knowledge and understanding of how the UI world works. He dedicated most of his life trying to figure the tech out. Robot is a complete novice in this world that holstrom created

I'm not sure you really can scale this stuff.
UI fights seem to be a mix of creativity, time spent as a UI, and coding ability, with them stuff like ruthlessness and instincts coming second.
I would probably give it to Holstrom because he has spent so much longer as a UI. Rudolph as a human is definitely smarter than Holstrom, but Holstrom as a UI has had so much time to exponentially get more and more information and think so much faster than a human could.
That being said, Rudolph in human form has much more experience actually fighting and overcoming physical dangers, and is also much smarter, especially tactically so, than Holstrom. If he can survive the fight for long enough to get properly acclimated to being a UI and catch up on time not spent overclocking, he would win.

Holstrom's mind is one (well, two) of a kind, but still very realistic, on the level of Steve Jobs. Robot is incredibly smart, he would win easily.
