User blog:Elgb333/Time Bending FPS Heroes: Tracer vs Point Man

 Every superhumans throughout fiction have their own unique powers that make them special. Some can lift boulders and others can run at supersonic speeds, while some can fly at high altitude and some who depend on technology and science. But these two warriors we will be piting today have the powers to control time itself - slowing it down, stopping it or making its flow move faster.

And what better way to enjoy the power to flip Father Time the bird than in first-person perspective? Today we pit two of video game history's most popular time bending FPS heroes to the death:



'''Tracer,  The sassy British pilot who blinked straight through our hearts ... a.nd basically our entire bullet-riddled corpse!'''

vs

Point Man, The voiceless super soldier who literally "slowed down and took his time" to kill everyone!



WHO IS DEADLIEST?!

Tracer


Lena Oxton (call sign: "Tracer") was the youngest person ever inducted into Overwatch's experimental flight program. Known for her fearless piloting skills, she was handpicked to test the prototype of a teleporting fighter, the Slipstream.

But during its first flight, the aircraft's teleportation matrix malfunctioned, and it disappeared. Lena was presumed dead. She reappeared months later, but her ordeal had greatly changed her: her molecules had been desynchronized from the flow of time. Suffering from "chronal disassociation," she was a living ghost, disappearing for hours and days at a time. Even for the brief moments she was present, she was unable to maintain physical form. Sometimes she had strange dreams about the past, including being a kitchen maid at a large house in the country.

Overwatch's doctors and scientists were stumped, and Tracer's case seemed hopeless until a scientist named Winston designed the chronal accelerator, a device capable of keeping Tracer anchored in the present. In addition, it gave Tracer the ability to control her own time, allowing her to speed it up and slow it down at will. With her newfound skills, she became one of Overwatch's most effective agents. Since Overwatch's dissolution, Tracer continued to right wrongs and fight the good fight wherever the opportunity presented itself.

Weapons
Melee= Quick Melee
 * A pistol whip.


 * -|Firearm= Pulse Pistols
 * Two automatic pistols that fires compressed energy rounds at targets.
 * 20-rounds per gun but needs the Chronal Accelerator to fire.


 * -|Explosive= Pulse Bomb
 * A large bomb with a timer that adheres to any surface or unfortunate opponent it lands on.
 * Has a large blast radius.
 * 3 meters radius


 * -|Suit= Chronal Accelerator
 * A device capable of keeping Tracer anchored in the present and is the source of her powers.
 * The chronal accelerator needs to cooldown and recharge when used too much, which affects her weapons adn makes her vulnerable.
 * If damaged or destroyed, Tracer will disappear via "chronal disassociation"


 * -|Powers= Bending Her Own Time
 * The results of the experiment and Tracer's chronal accelerator gave her the ability to control her own time, allowing her to speed it up and slow it down at will. While she is not able o control the time of others, her powers allow her to zip horizontally through space in the direction she’s moving, and reappears several yards away (Blink) and bounce backward in time which returns her health, ammo and position on the map to precisely where they were a few seconds before (Recall).

Point Man


The Point Man (real name unknown) is a member of the U.S. Army's First Encounter Assault Recon special forces detachment, and is the main protagonist of the F.E.A.R. series. He has served in the US army since he was 18 years old as a test subject for Armacham Technology Corporation, and more specifically, Genevieve Aristide. Before he was transferred to First Encounter Assault Recon, he had served in many conflicts as a special forces operative. The Point Man was born sometime in late 1994 or early 1995.

During the Point Man's stay with the First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R.) team, he was only referred to as the "Point Man". In his first mission, the Point Man strictly followed orders that resulted in him killing his biological brother with a shot in the head. Point Man also set off an explosion to destroy Alma, but that killed thousands of others, including some of his own squadmates. After the events of F.E.A.R., the Point Man finds himself captured by Armacham and imprisoned in a heavily guarded jail far from Fairport. With the soldiers having no luck in interrogating him, Paxton Fettel interrupts and murders the soldiers to help his brother to break free.

Weapons
Melee= Military Combat Knife
 * Standard issue Ka-Bar knife used by many personnel in the US military.


 * -|Firearm= SM15 Machine Pistols
 * Dual wielded automatic pistols.
 * 30-round magazines each.
 * 5.56x45mm NATO


 * -|Explosive= M77 Remote Bomb
 * Remotely detonated bomb that can adhere to any surface or enemies when thrown.
 * High explosive damage, can destroy a group of armored supersoldiers or mechs.
 * Can be used for traps.


 * -|Suit= F.E.A.R. Armor
 * A piece of armor that consists of a helmet, red combat goggles, little pads in the arms and legs and a disposable vest.
 * Capable of taking hit from automatic fire, sniper fire and even explosives such as grenades, rockets and energy weapons. It can also tank hits from superpowered beings.


 * -|Powers= Slow-Mo
 * A specialized psionic ability that gives supernaturally fast reflexes and movement. When activated in-game, Slow-Mo causes the Point Man to move, aim, and fire weapons by a factor of two while perceiving the world around him as moving five times slower than normal. This may be due to many factors, such as more engineering by ATC or a minor form of psychic powers. Either way, this power grants him the ability to slow down his perception of time as well as others, and move faster than his enemies can react. His Slow-Mo slows time enough for him to see the trajectory of bullets as they fly, and even dodge rockets fired at him.
 * He has also been noted to regenerate health when heavily injured

X-Factors
Training

Both soldiers were trained heavily by the unit they served from. Tracer is a trained RAF Pilot as well as an Overwatch operative while Point Man recieved training from the U.S. Army as well as from the specialized unit F.E.A.R. which specialized in supernatural and paranormal threats.

Experience

It is hard to decide which one had more experience. Tracer served extensively as a pilot for the RAF but it is unknown if she ever had any ground fighting during that time. She did however served greatly as an Overwatch operative during Overwatch's heyday and after its dissolution, fighting Omnics and other superpowered beings. During the events of F.E.A.R. the Point Man started out as a rookie but did well in fighting off the Armacham Industry as well as Alma Wade and her monstrous minions.

Physicality

While Tracer has proven to be a fast combatant with her hit and run tactics and encircling the whole battlefield to her advantage, she is yet to show any feats of physicality besides speed. The Point Man has shown to be considerably strong, capable of ripping armored soldiers and enemy mechs in half with up close. He too has a regenerative healing factor that regenerates any damages done to him. He is also very durable and can tank hits from all sorts of damages.

Tactics

<p style="text-align:center;">Tracer is an adaptable fighter who has no problems dealing against different enemeis with different abilities. But her strategy is mostly about rushing into her enemies, blasting them with her pistols, and running away if she needs to regerenerate. The Point Man on the other hand is stealthier and can even use his own environments to ambush his enemies. He also had to deal against more cunning and devious opponents like Fettel and Alma Wade.
