He would own the naga, everyone here is saying that he could basically ignore zedd's lightning, and i doubt that the naga's lightning is that much more powerful, and in melee he would own the naga.
The naga has other spells more suited to fighting a suit of armor.
ozy being smart would mean nothing, he still has no means of hurting him.
The hand-to-hand skills Ozymandias has, he could probably just rip bits of Sauron's armor off one by one until nothing was left to fight with. Or devise a trap to crush him.
Kikaida would be unable to hurt him even if he found him.
Sauron's armor is never mentioned to have special qualities, it's just thick. Kikaida could smash through it easily enough.
Youmu isn't actually a ghost (and if she was he could still hurt her probablt).
Meh.
Paul was disqualified so it doesn't matter. Duncan couldn't even see him, due to his being able to turn invisibile (apparently), and he could use his fear ability to beat duncan, or kill duncan with his first strike.
Well, Duncan would survive the first strike by virtue of his shield. Unless Sauron had the foresight to just pick him up and crush him barehanded. If that doesn't happen Duncan's going to get a reasonable chance to counter.
The GDI disc thrower coudn't see him because he can turn invisible.
Motion detector.
Louis would get pwned by sauron at close range (and sauron, being invisible would get to chose when to attack).
Actually, Armstrong is super-resistant to damage, the guy got his head smashed into a wall, visibly damaging the wall, and then got dragged along that wall about twenty feet, and all it did was give him moderate bleeding. Plus, his ability to manipulate matter could let him transmute Sauron's armor into something harmless, like a statue of himself.
Alien could do nothing against him, because he is apparently a spirit in his armor, so his electrovision thing wouldn't do anything.
Well, yeah. You talk like Sauron isn't allowed to be superior to anyone.
Against any enemy, sauron would get first attack due to being invisible, and once engaged, i have trouble thinking of a charachter in this competition that stands a chance against him, given that he has "the strength of a thousand men", is able to leap 20 feet and is actually a animated suit of armor.
No, there are conditions. If Sauron doesn't consider them a valid threat, he'd have no reason to be invisible. Even then, light as he would be he'd still make noise due to his metal armor. Anyone paying attention could find him, it's the cocky idiots that get caught off guard.
I guess the wraiths are invisible, but nothing they carry is (at least according to the movie), but as long as sauron wants to wear armor or use a weapon, he is visible.
But Sauron's ring turns everything on the person invisible. It's a greater sort of invisibility, as it comes from Sauron himself and not just contact with him.
Yeah, sauron is the same kind of spirit as gandalf, but he is significantly weaker then he was in the simillarion. Also, he wouldn't have acess to the same abilities, thats like saying both spiderman and mr.incredible are both humans, so they should have acess to the same abilities. While many abilities of sauron and gandalf COULD overlap, many don't.
That is a flawed argument. The spirits here are naturally powered, so there is little room for deviation. It's not Spider-Man and Mr. Incredible, it's closer to Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Both are Green Lanterns with the same power. They might do different things with that power, but it's the same pool they're drawing from.
He needs muscles to move the armor, i'm not convinced that he would be able to move it as a spirit, if that was the case why would he wear the armor at all? why wouldn't he just be a flying mace with the ring on it that hits people?
Intimidation, pride, something to store his soul in. All are valid reasons.
Errr... we try to retain some laws of physics, unless they are explicitly contradicted in the source material. Unless jumping armor is his super power sure, but its not. If it was powered armor sure, but its not. You try to jump wearing 200 pounds of metal, no matter how strong you are, it will weigh you down.
We are using characters from Fullmetal Alchemist, where walking suits of armor are capable of everything and more that is described of Sauron here. By the necessities of this competition it is possible.
Hm, i think it was more of a magical projection then him turning into a spirit and back, and that his body was still alive when he was doing it.
Magical projection? What does that even mean?? His body was right there, why would he need to project? If you think of his mortal body more as a skin than a true body (which is probably closer to the truth, considering his nature) it's easy to see that it could be shed when necessary.
When the ring came off his finger he blew up, thats my proof. Mabey he just happend to blow up at the same time, but i doubt it.
That's because he poured everything into the ring, that isn't the case here. Also you totally dodged my question, I was asking how it could be out of direct contact with his finger and not have him exploding.
Whew long argument.
And yet it's so easy to defeat, because half of it runs on troll logic.
