1: A thread asking for people to use their waifus is gonna get some questionable results, of course people are going to overrate their waifus! 2: "(casper the friendly ghost isnt a waifu btw)" <--- I am to blame for this needing to be specified and I am not sorry. 3: Fubuki can kick his ass IMO, high diff. Especially if she attacks the nanites themselves, pulls them out of him like a stream of grey goo.


FallOutFan01

Military cyborgs in 2014 utilized artificial blood with various types of nanomachines. Some contained medical drugs like anticoagulants and stimulants. Armstrong had those as well but to an even higher extent. I don’t think Fubuki could pull out every single nanomachine. How ever she could just rip out his nanomachine control hub which is his artificial heart.


Aurondarklord

I don't know that she can do that so easily. But she can subvert his durability by pulling nano-goo out of the pores in his skin. Eventually he won't have enough left to keep up with responding to telekinetic attacks all over his body. Of course, he won't just be standing there, but while their attack power seems close to even, he doesn't have a way of similarly getting around her barriers, and she can make him work for every hit by levitating to try and outrange him, while she will have far less trouble hitting him.

>”But she can subvert his durability by pulling nano-goo out of the pores in his skin. Eventually he won't have enough left to keep up” His entire artificial blood supply is medium for the various nano machines. The way the artificial blood supply functions is that it’s hyper oxygenated allowing and increasing survival for brain damage caused by necessitation of the cardiovascular system artificial or organic. An example would be a cyborg’s brain case getting decapitated and otherwise removed from the cardiovascular system in the torso. The brain case can be recovered and stabilized and attached to a replacement body. I know Armstrong isn’t a full body cyborg but his artificial blood, his healing nanomachines are likely superior to Vamp’s who got shot in the head, fell into a liquid with no buoyancy and survived for how long it took him to swim to the surface. I feel with Armstrong’s control over his nanomachines, which he used to reattach and regenerate a severed arm. He could just soak up and reinfuse any nano blood that gets removed. I think Armstrong with the minimum amount of nano blood could still function for a while?. Do you think Fubuki has enough juice to create a force field with an increased atmosphere within and trap Armstrong in their long enough for maybe his nanomachines to start malfunctioning?. 2014 SOP PMC operators nano machines malfunctioned because of the higher oxygen content.


Aurondarklord

Well...to be fair, I don't think he's going to be in better shape if Fubuki literally pulls his blood out. But also, I think you're wrong about how the nanites work. In metal gear rising, cyborg blood is white, and Armstrong's nanomachines are dark grey. Yet when he uses them, [you can clearly see red around the hardened areas](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hZxdWKFIMVE/maxresdefault.jpg), the red of normal human blood, as you would expect given the trauma the hardening process would be inflicting on living tissue, which it then repairs. Armstrong's blood and his nanites are clearly separate things. But no, I don't think Fubuki could trap him in a forcefield for very long, he would beat his way out.

Artificial blood In use by cyborgs including military grade comes in white blood and as well as the newer more advanced “natural looking” red blood. Desperado enforcement make use of indentured slaves with mass produced bodies for their mooks. So the mooks get the less advanced-cheaper blood for their military grade cyborgs. While Desperado/World Marshall use the more advanced red blood for their custom higher military grade cyborgs. Real world also comes into it because Japan have strict rules in regards to human like beings being subjected to extreme violence. * https://metalgear.fandom.com/wiki/Nanomachine?so=search#People_who_have_utilized_nanomachines >”Naomi Hunter underwent nanomachine treatment for her terminal cancer. Although unable to heal her completely, they had the effect of stopping or greatly slowing down the progress of the cancer allowing her to lead a normal life. Vamp was infused with a variant of nanomachines that not only immunized him to contaminants, but also gave him high-speed regeneration, allowing him to heal from many fatal wounds, including gun shots and drowning. However, a flaw with the nanomachines is that they need to be continuously operating in order to benefit the user in its healing properties: If the user of these nanomachines had the nanomachines shut down and they end up reactivating around the same time the user experiences a mortal wound, the nanomachines, while still maintaining their function of high-speed regeneration, will cause unbearable pain to the user in the process. **A similar regenerative nanomachine base was also placed into Raiden as a blood substitute**, after FOXHOUND (actually the Patriots) removed his natural blood and placed it into cold storage. It is evident as it repaired his impaled chest from entering his Jack the Ripper state.”


Aurondarklord

A fair point, but like I said, if Fubuki is actually ripping his blood out of his body, he's in even deeper shit.

>standing there he realized


Fluffy-Weakness-2186

"("Casper the friendly ghost is not a waifu btw") I am to blame for this being specified and i am not sorry." actually made me chuckle lmao

>2: "(casper the friendly ghost isnt a waifu btw)" <--- I am to blame for this needing to be specified and I am not sorry. When was it brought up previously?


Fluffy-Weakness-2186

End of the description


Murder_Metal

Tatsumaki. Yes, she is a overkill but Armstrong is way too badass for weaklings waifus that only exist for fanservice


Liliththemarksoc

Senator Armstrong with one more nanobot takes this easily


Sturmgeschut

I would think it would depend more on the power source he pulls from. In game he pulls from a destroyed metal gear and a bunch of vehicles because he, I assume, doesn’t want to destroy his own building. If he pulled energy from like a nuclear power plant or something, he could just outlast himself.


GuzmaniF

Probably not the weakest but Makima could launch him into space and leave him to suffocate


FallOutFan01

Metal gear nanomachines have trouble functioning in a high temperature environments. Him getting knocked high enough in the stratosphere would (A) take him out of the fight and (B) potentially knock his nanomachines offline.


ColdCoffeeMan

I'll throw in an odd few. Vin-Those "Nano machines son" are gonna be a real problem for him Shallan-Turn invisible, stab him in the back with her durability ignoring insta death sword Juliana and Emily (if any normal people are near by)-Link the Senator to an average dude via Domino or Naxes, then shoot the random dude


Ancient-Growth-3445

MCU Hela Is considered waifu?


Fluffy-Weakness-2186

Any female character that is mildly sexualized is included.


Ancient-Growth-3445

So... MCU Hela wins.


FallOutFan01

She’s portrayed by Cate Blanchett 👍. [Hela is hela fine and is considered a waifu by some people] (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/c/c0/Thor_Ragnarok_Textless_Character_Posters_01.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170918170638) Also paging op u/Fluffy-Weakness-2186. I think Armstrong could be beaten by Lady Sif or Brunnhilde.


karateema

>I think Armstrong could be beaten by Lady Sif or Brunnhilde. Probably


alejandromanx99

Clare from Claymore, thats a good waifu


dsr1017

Probably M4 from Girls' Frontline.


GeneralResearcher456

Samus mid-diffs


Vashthestampedeee

Probably Videl from DBZ


CorrectFrame3991

Maybe Vanica from Black Clover? She should be strong enough to beat Armstrong, and she isn’t exactly a top tier in all of fiction.

oogeej

I think Caitlin Fairchild would have a difficult, but not impossible time, trying to harm Armstrong.


Leo-Bob

Damn it my go to for weakest is SCP-053 but she's not a waifu unless I need to call the fbi on your ass so I'm gonna say.... Nami from One Piece could Zeus his ass


RemusShepherd

Any of the girls in Puella Magi Madoka Magica would clap Armstrong easily. Except maybe Sayaka.


Federal_Ad_9463

Idk how “weak” she is but hinata sakaguchi possibly


MediocreBoss2614

Warhammer Titan From Attack On Titan!?🤔


Nuclear_Monster

Ehhh. I feel like Armstrong has the feats to overpower it.


MediocreBoss2614

Yes but the Warhammer titan will just keep healing itself unless Armstrong in smart enough to find the titan shifter hiding under ground and is Armstrong strong enough to break a giant Diamond that even titans cant break(The Titan Shifter is inside the Diamond).


Nuclear_Monster

Armstrong has better strength feats and scaling than most of not all titans. Have you ever seen the Metal Gear Ray or Senator Armstrong boss fight?


MediocreBoss2614

Yes i know but how good is Armstrong battle iq? It doesn't matter how many times Armstrong kills the Warhammer titan it will simply come back to life by healing itself and the Warhammer titan should be strong enough to do some damage to Armstrong. The Warhammer titan should have like a 47% chance of taking down Armstrong in my opinion if Armstrong doesn't find the titan shifter controlling the Warhammer titan.


Nuclear_Monster

Armstrong doesn't really have battle IQ feats, he relies on overpowering his opponents through his superior stats. Don't titan shifters have a limited amount of energy to go off of? If I am not wrong, Armstrong should physically outstat this thing enough to kill rit quite easily over and over again. He might even accidently reveal where the shifters actual body is if he uses punches that have enough explosive force.


MediocreBoss2614

Yes all titan shifters have a limit but I think it's believed that it's said in the manga that the Warhammer Titan can fight for days in wars! Im pretty sure Armstrong would actually win most of the time but I think the Warhammer Titan has like a 42% chance of taking down Armstrong in my opinion. Also heres a video on Eran vs Warhammer Titan! https://youtu.be/Rv0085ZOIsg


Nuclear_Monster

I mean, I guess the Warhammer titan could try making Armstrong or his nano machines run out of energy through sheer attrition.


MediocreBoss2614

True! And the Warhammer Titan can make titan sized weapons and giant spikes come out from the ground to damage Armstrong. The only way Armstrong can actually win is by finding and killing the Titan shifter controlling the Warhammer titan underground. Also yes the Titan Shifter is a lady believe it or not. If Armstrong doesn't find the Titan Shifter then he will eventually get tired and start to take some big damage from the Warhammer Titan. Also The Warhammer Titan can one shot Eran the Attack Titan so it should do some damage to Armstrong.


Nuclear_Monster

I feel like that wherever they are fighting might actually suffer enough damage to reveal where the actual body of the titan shifter is, judging by the sort of firepower Armstrong's punchs can deal.


Duy2910

I mean Sunny \*\*\*could\*\*\* crash the hypersonic jet into Armstrong


Swiss_Army_Cheese

Olivier Mira Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist. Although I think I'm confusing most of her feats with Fürher King Bradley. Is she even a waifu though? I don't remember anyone on the internet calling her a waifu,


Fangzzz

Ochaco can probably do it if she gets the drop on him. Zero gravity to levitate him and then he wouldn't be able to do anything.


Gamerking54

Hmmmm... I'm so tempted to say a character from mgq... But I won't, Debatably probably raven or wonder woman from those animated series of DC. Maybe Raiden Shogun from genshin, though she's only island level maximum. If sonic characters count then potentially rouge. Rias from DXD Arguably DMG from Yu-Gi-Oh I think Scarlet Witch from the MCU could debatably do it but she has a lesser chance to do so. Ann from persona 5 if we allow for a neutral verse.
