Sylux a ball of energy?[]

Eh I dunno can matter be turned into energy? I mean the GF intended the suit to enable the user to turn into the Lockjaw so it might be possible. Sylux probs isn't an energy-based creature then, but he might be a shape-shifter.


The Morph Ball has an energy core, but Ms. Aran isn't an energy-being.Einsteinium99 06:41, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

Technique[]

When an enemy touches the two connected bombs, the lockjaw can lay bombs continuously that will hit the opponent until it dies.

Composition?[]

So maybe this is just my ignorance, but tetracarbon ceramic-alloy blades just seems like a bunch of words that mean absolutely nothing when combined in this manner. Tetracarbon, by itself, simply means 4 carbon atoms, which would all but guarantee that the substance in question is a butane derivative, and therefore organic. Ceramic is a very general term for a wide category of inorganic substances which mostly consist of metal-oxides. An alloy meanwhile mostly refers to a substance made of multiple metals, though some do include metalloid or nonmetal components (steel contains iron and carbon for example, often with other elements included), all of which are inorganic in nature. In short, the three terms seemingly refer to mutually exclusive chemical compounds. No compound I can conceive of could be described by just two of the three terms, let alone all of them.

I've noticed this too. The writers for Hunters obviously didn't have a lot of scientific knowledge (just look at the numbers for the Volt Driver or the Judicator, or how multiple characters can travel between galaxies in a trivial amount of time), but even if the scans are semantically nonsensical, content from the games is still usually considered canon unless Nintendo or the developers say otherwise. Individual fans can question whether something should be considered canon, but doing that in articles sounds like a bad idea for Wikitroid. CortexCPU242 (talk) 22:18, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
I wasn't trying to contend it wasn't canon per say, more just trying to wrap my head around the pseudo-science. Hunters is one of the only games in the entire franchise that even tries to offer meaningful scientific jargon for its weaponry so I can't help trying to piece it together. I suppose in this case I could be convinced that alloy is being used more loosely to simply mean a compound substance, whose components are unspecified tetracarbon and ceramic substances. (I could even potentially see tetracarbon as referring to carbon that has formed a matrix of 4 bonds (i.e. diamond).) That might make the Lockjaw some kind of high-density compressed substance formed from the organic and inorganic components from the body of the user, in this case Sylux. All that mass has to go somewhere after all. JeruTz (talk) 12:03, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
