I don’t see how Hannibal takes any points if im being honest, Joe’s feats have much more depth and novelty to them and he’s much more adaptable and versitile in their retrospective tactics and schemes. He also just actively no diffs in cognition which boosts the gap in everything else even more

vs (1v1) CTW L vs Don

Post image
0 Upvotes

I might get cancelled for this but.. Here we go..

For those unfamiliar with the movie, Don is an Indian Baku basically. Go watch the movie I ain't explaining shit.

Here is the category distribution WITH JUSTIFICATION

Intelligence - CTW L obviously

Emotional Intelligence - Don (Roma feat > Dr kujo feat. Don is an absolute monster in Cognitive Empathy and psychological warfare. L’s move on Dr Kujo was just a quick, one time MEH MEH therapy session. He spotted her biggest weak point (her massive guilt over Watari) and used the perfect words to completely break her down in that exact moment. Don’s play, tho, was a whole different level of psychological warfare. He literally had to mask his entire identitey and fake being a completely different person (Vijay) for years. He couldn't slip up for even a SECOND around someone who was actively looking for an excuse to end him.

Dr Kujo was just acting out because she was deeply hurt and nihilistic, meaning she was still a broken human who could actually feel bad for what she did. Roma, on the other hand, was purely driven by revenge because she wanted to avenge her brother's murder. Flipping an elite Interpol agent from pure, unadulterated hatred to being completely in love and submissive is near impossible..

L had a massive advantage because of his reputation and the fact that everyone knew he was already dying. Since he had nothing left to lose, his emotional speech naturally felt way more real and intense. Don, meanwhile, was working with zero backup or safety nets. If he showed even a single wrong expression or misread Roma for a split second, he would have been caught or killed)

Social intelligence - Don obviously.

Overall AC - Don (his manipulation of vardhaan on the spot after getting nearly killed)

Thinking - CTW L obviously

Reasoning - CTW L obviously

Planning - Don. Don's printing plates heist and vardhaan trap clears any CTW L feat.

Strategy - Don. (his printing plates Strategy clears. I'm too lazy to explain after that long ass paragraph I just wrote.)

Analysis - CTW L obviously

Psychology - Don. (how? Surprise! Roma feat!)

Approach - Don

Manipulation - Don obv

Deception - Don. Vijay identity feat.

Sensory - CTW L.

Foresight - Don. His Foresight is CRACKED

Adaptability - Don (his vardhaan Strategy in Don two)

Field Skills - Don

Tactics - Don

Counteraction - CTW L

AND HEAR ME OUT.... COLD READING TO DON. (Diwan feat, kamini feat, Roma feat, vardhaan feat. He cold read them in mere seconds in their first meetings. okay what's up w my English I need to sleep oay bye)

Winner - Don v. High diff

Fixed situation - CGEW. I can't decide tbh

Non fixed situation - Don wins

Cat & mouse - Don wins.

Don takes more of the offensive categories and is somewhat weak in the detective thingy stuff. Also MEH MEH means okay-ish
