I think it depends on what augments and weapons Jensen has. It’s been a while since I’ve played Human Revolution or Mankind Divided so I don’t remember the options available.
Depends a lot on battle environment.
Iirc Jensen has some drawbacks for augmentations. I believe Smasher doesn’t. The only chance Jensen has is if he talks Smasher to death.
Looks like Mankind Divided Jensen in the photo which means he has access to a “Sandevistan” in the form of the Focus augment and on demand EMP in the form of the TESLA augment. Jensen also has comparable augs to pretty much anything you can get in game, meaning he’d be pretty comparable to V by the time V breaks into Arasaka. Definitely a fight that can go either way, depending on weapons and location.
Oh, an X vs Y debate in X’s home forum, I wonder how that will go…
Show them the anime. First what David does to arasaka with the mechsuit.
Then show them Adam Smasher rip is ass in two.
In open (fair) combat Smasher will squash Jenson, but Jenson (almost) never fights fairly he is “ungentelmenary warfire” specialist, with heavy focus on infiltration, sabotage and rigging the battlefield. So, if Jenson is after Smasher, Smasher is doomed, if it is unexpected for both or only for Jenson – it is vice versa.
In Human Revolution the chest mounted projectile system pretty much one shot every boss in the game so I’d say so.
He has way more augments than V and Oh wait. He is literally immune to going cyberspycho because of his DNA. He is also trained in the special Ops and has a really caring team with him. so yeah my money is on Jensen.
Idk, but I love both of these series. I hate that the Embracer fucks killed Deus Ex with their corporate greed.
Smasher is a war hound, not a strategist, unlike Jensen. So Jensen gets points there.
Other then that, there is no information given. So it can go either way. Does something that oneshots an enemy in CP does the same for Jensen and vice versa? We dont know. This is why cross-universe comparison is shit.
I also think Jensen has more advanced/refined hardware.
And as it was explained so many times, sandevistan does not work in the CP universe as the game/anime portrayed it. It boosts your reflexes but does not make you teleport in rooms. So Smasher would not dice Jensen in a milisec. Depending on whether you want to go canon or use the game version.
Jensen vs. V is a far more intriguing fight. That would be a close-run thing.
I highly doubt that. Jensen is all about covert mechanics.
The Augs in Deus Ex seem more advanced than Chrome in Cyberpunk. Weapons systems like PEPS, The Typhoon explosive system, and The Tesla would be particularly effective against Smasher. Also, while remote hacking exists in both games, Jensen’s augs seem immune to being hacked. Building a backdoor into everyone’s systems was a major plot point in Deus Ex, and it involved a manually installed hardware component to work. I’d think this would give Jensen a huge advantage. It’s still hard to say. I think it would be close.
Marchenko, the villain from Mankind divided was pretty close to Smasher. In fact, I believe the Smasher character was inspired by him
Well yes. Adam Jensen is a protagonist. Smasher is not.
Like all fictional fights the real answers is it depends who is writing the story
Jensen’s tiny head and huge shoulders would throw off Smasher’s targeting processes.
videogame Smasher is a pushover (yes, still), so i’d give it to Jensen.
but my feeling is that the “real” Smasher would wipe the floor with the “real” Jensen. or he might not even need to; does Jensen have any defensive netrunning gear? is Jensen’s cyberware full of intentional backdoors put there by the illuminati? an Arasaka elite netrunner might just make him blow his own head off.
Jensen’s fought and won against smasher-like bosses before so my money’s on him
Adam solos no diff
I love both games, but sorry V, Jensen would destroy you without much difficulty
Jensen wouldnt have to beat him, he would convince him not to fight in the first place and THAT is why hes a cooler / more memorable main charachter than V ever will be (imo)
Jensen absolutely has this
Adam Jensen at the end of MD would crush Smasher of 2077. Jensen already fought and killed a Smasher alike called Marchenko at the end of MD. Jensen also has more refined augmentations not to mention all the experimental augmentations like the Titan aug, which will let him tank 99℅ of the stuff Smasher throws at him.
Smasher’s raw strength and sandevistan would pose the greatest threat to Jensen, but considering that Jensen is an expert strategist and a tactician, he’ll figure out counters in the middle of the fight. Ideally, some well aimed heated nano-blades from Jensen would drop Smasher pretty fast let alone using the Typhoon and Tesla augs.
Ive never played deus ex but I’m assuming Jensen is the main character?
I love smasher but if Jensen is a main video character then he’s gotta win. It’s just science.
Powerscaling is cancer tbh
That’s a hard one
I remember being disappointed with Human Revolution because how fragile this guy was. So much so that I abandoned the game after the first boss, which was infuriating. Maybe he’s stronger in canon?
He didn’t ask for this
who gives a shit
