Defeating Yourself

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I never put much thought into this which is surprising because enemies in video games than mimic your appearance and stats are among my favorite enemies

 

but I'm not talking about the video game universe

 

what if an exact copy of yourself was out to kill you... they have your appearance, your likes, your dislikes, your strengths, your weaknesses.... I think you get it

 

how would you defeat yourself?

 

 

knowing myself he is plotting out a plan how to get in and get out without being noticed, then he will most likely be hiding somewhere in my home with a knife... I'm also good at sneaking so he will stick to the shadows.... running isn't an option I have great stamina and he will probably catch me if I run... fighting won't do much since I'm resilient to pain not to meantion a weak hitter.... so my best bet in defeating myself is by out-sneaking him and kill him before he even knows what hit him.... or I can try to reason with him since I'm pretty reasonable

[Art Thief 215]

I would my ass.

Hey shut me!

Excuses me, i gotta take care this jerk.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

I'm a wimp,and not skilled in the slightest. So,defeating myself would be a cinch.

 

Although,we might end up killing each other.

 

 

So,the scenario. 

 

(The copy comes in with a knife. I grab the nearest thing next to me. Which would be my metal chalice.

I'd hit him and he'd stab me. When he's hurt,I tackle him and start punching him. He would then land a punch to my nose and knock me down. He reaches for the knife,and I grab his hand,trying to keep him from reaching. He would then elbow me and grab the knife. Next,I would be keeping one hand on my stab wound and my other would be free. He'd try stabbing me again,and then I sweep kick him. While he's down,I grab my baseball bat in my free hand and try to hit him. He dies,but I also die from my stab wound.) 

 

2 other scenarios for the lols.

(Slap fight to the death)

 

(Seduce him.)

I can be slightly stupid and clumsy at times so I wouldn't be surprised if the copy of me was trying to sneak around and just falls of a roof and dies 

 

In an actual fight I suck at almost everything so the fight would turn into two people trying to hit each other but doing absolutely nothing so I guess the first one to get a weapon wins.

Well lets see here, my usual self would be paranoid-like, would avoid dark places when relaxing. Always bringing wrench for self-defense, so if my other self tries to kill me, would probably bring bigger weapon. What else what else?, i know i would sneak like Sam Fisher xD.

 

Would probably just charge my other self with a chair or something.

Tried to make scenarios, but gave up half the way. Cant beat my self

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Knowing me, he wouldn't do anything sneaky. No he'd come at me directly. Given my novice, but well versed novice, skills in the martial arts and the rarity of a physical challenge in real life he would revel in the idea of taking me on, one on one. And he'd know I'd want that too.

 

How I would beat him is simple. I'd beat him to the punch. I would challenge him to a duel first, at the Wushu school I go to. We'd both show up, select our weapons, bow to one another, and . . . well yeah, may the best me win.

 

I mean, it hardly matters. I obviously want to live, but if he's like me in every way, "my life" would go on.

Completely agreed, those are the kind of bosses I love to go back and fight again just for the event of it. Dark Link, Star Wolf, Metal Sonic . . . . Nega-Scott.

For the lols indeed, sire. That had my face in a pillow to suppress laughter and not wake family. 

[Hocus Pocus 636]

Hmmm.... I'm rather tactical at planning things out, so it's a good thing I'm on the defensive in this scenario. If a copy of myself is after me, that means they'll be coming for me, and I have the advantage of preparing the environment. Having my skill with strategy, they would probably try to ambush me around some sort of 90 degree corner, however, I can wait longer when I'm on defense, I'm a little more impatient when I'm on offense, so I'd booby-trap an encampment with plenty of supplies to wait her out, she'd grow impatient of waiting for me to come out of my room, she'd come in and be killed upon opening the door, or window, or stepping into the room from a hole in the wall... now the trouble is disarming all the traps without getting MYSELF killed XD but I'd probably call 9-1-1 for that.... actually, wouldn't calling 9-1-1 work in the first place? I couldn't take on the police, and I doubt they'd side with my shadow self!

Well at least someone besides me treated this scenario both with some credit to their abilities to be competent in this situation and by extension their doppleganger's.

[Lunatic Cake 1,618]

I would probably be screwed because he has the element of surprise with him. Then again, knowing myself I wouldn't harm anyone and I could probably easily tell him to not do it if we were thinking alike. Then again if he was mind controlled I would know how I would act and reply based on that. Mind control isn't perfect so the other me couldn't predict my counter.

[TSD 86]

Does it matter? If we're truly identical, I endure either way.

 

Right?

 

From a logical standpoint, there's no reason to resist. Of course, two of me makes life much easier. No reason to try to kill one another either.

[gone~ 614]

I don't have much physical strength and I hate violence. I would probably just talk it out with myself. 'Why do you need to kill me?'

 

And if one of us needed to die for whatever reason then we would just talk and decide who would die, and plan a painless death.

 

Although I'm not sure if that counts as 'defeating myself.'

A HA! I knew I couldn't be the only one that came to that conclusion!

[The Professor...8D 823]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...................Knowing myself, and that he's exactly like me in everyway except for the urge to kill "me".....He'd probably try poisoning me. So I would have to watch everything I eat. Sleep would become near impossible. Uhhhhhhh............I don't see anyway out of this except a Logic Trick Like if you're killing me your killing yourself & hopefully the urge to kill me overpowers his sanity and he actually kills himself..........that's all I got.

The only way to defeat myself is by counting on myself to be myself and than go random; mix things up, and be unpredictable as possible. Another idea, to reach my friends first and help lure the fake me into a trap is possible, but difficult.

[Thuja 3,659]

Knowing myself, I probably wouldn't try defeating myself.  I do that too much to myself anyways.  No, I'd probably try to help myself.

[NuclearBurg (Dawn) 622]

Try and become friends? If not I know where all the big knives are (and a cleaver) in my kitchen so...

[BronyDubs 9]

Just put a computer in front of me with a whole bunch of interesting websites/distracting ones and I'm down for the count.

Also, if a copy of me was out to kill me, wouldn't it be an almost endless battle because they are exactly like you?

[Gearbox10mm 794]

I couldn't help but think of this scene.

[lomk 20,663]

Likely won't happen. Because I am so risk averse and confrontation avoiding, if a second me was given the order to kill me (as in me - not the other me), he couldn't lol 

[KokuraiNoSenshi 3,463]

...Find someone who can actually fight? I can't do shit in real life, I'll just behind a big fellow and call it a day lol

[Lordav 3,427]

Turn on the computer and go 500m west.... I(he) would be too lazy to pursue + a free PC??? Yeah screw it... no more killing

[Alphys Hedge 671]

He would come at me saying "Well, well. Ready to die?" I stand there, thinking of ways to kill him...then I think...

(Me is me, and Me 2 is the clone)

Me: "I've got one trick up my sleeve"

Me 2: "And what's that?"

*gives coke bottle*

Me 2: "Sweet!"

 

And then we both spend the day watching youtube and drinking pepsi :3
