    Think of how small and weak 5 year olds are...In all honesty, anyone 16+ in age should be able to handle at least 50. It's just a matter of stamina on your part because you would get tired extremely fast....or one of them could kick you in the junk and it would be over quickly <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I don't really know how many I could take...70+?
  • theclamtheclam Join Date: 2004-08-01 Member: 30290Members
    The average weight for a 5 year old is 43 pounds.

    I don't even think I could take 10 of them lying on top of me, much less 50.

    The rules say you can wear a cup and while they may way a lot how many can attack you at the same time? Plus you don't have to go wading in to them, you can... I don't know how to describe it, like a real life version of circle strafing <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    If they're running towards you...maybe around 60ish before I begin to wear out.

    If it's raining 5 year olds...that's a different story....but why would it rain 5 year olds?

    I'd have to say it would be a reaonsably random figure each time. If anyone has fought five year olds you would know that once 3-4 of the latch onto you your effectivness against further opponents decreases dramatically. You would be pretty much fine until you slipped up and let a few latch onto you, then you would be screwed. So I would say at your top you could probably go through hundreds, but if you happened to make a mistake you could go down before you have outed ten.

    Lol Swiftspear, do you often fight large groups of 5 year olds? You deserve a custom forum title for that <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I think we are talking average rather than 'at best' or 'at worst'. At best I can (and have) played on the computer for over 24 hours straight, at worst its been a couple of minutes. I could, on average, handle a nice 10 hour stint providing I had nothing better to do.

    So... Smash TV, except with no weapons... and you get to kick five year olds in the head?

    I don't think games need that kind of publicity.

    If I had no remorse, bring them on. I deal with a four-year-old, so I see no difference.

    ANGER MANAGEMENT.

I can hardly imagine anyone accusing us of using it to 'train ourselves to become lethal killers' but yeah, it's the kind of thing they'd use anyway.

    I'm still surprised there wasn't a columbine themed mod or at least a few 'school' maps in CS (urgh). Glad though, now that <i>would</i> be jumped on!

    No, but I have lots of little brothers/cousins... anyone who doesn't wrestle with smaller reletives deserves to be dragged out into the street and shot.

    Really it's about tactics. Pick one up, swing them around, and bang, you've got crowd control right there. And if you just run really fast you'll pretty much barrel through them. The trick is to keep moving and not get bogged down.

    Just imagine 15 of them running at you at the same time. You think it's easy to dispatch 5-year olds, but that's one-by-one. If you raise your leg to kick one, another one will already be underneath your leg and you'll be tipped over. I think I could take 10-15 using only punches. If I backed myself into a corner I could take more because there's less angles of attack.

    ok, i have a tactice that i use against my friend and hes the same age as me (16). Hes a pretty big guy considering his height, hes 155 pounds of muscle and 5"7, quite stocky. What I do is i punch him as im jumping backwards, me being 6"4 and really long arms, he cant reach me while i do so <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Not if their nose is at the same level as your genitals.

    You could use your long reach and fast running speed along with some sort of club to take them out, but you'd need to find a club, fight in a large open area, and have enough endurance to stay out of range of dozens of 5 year olds who may use some sort of pincer attack.

    2 years of TawKwonDo, learning various kicks and how to use them + 50 5 year olds = A lot of knocked out 5-year olds.

    The best way for the five year olds to fight you would be to lock arms into a giant globule, one giant mass of pokemon-loving brats, and rush you. Once you get that many people in that tight a space moving fast enough, it's hard to stop. You kick one or two in the fact, they go down, and they all fall down. You run, break them up, and keep the number of people attacking you to single digits, dispatching them one by one with kicks and knees.

    By far the best way to deal with them is to sneak a minigun into the arena and get some distance.

  • SoulSkorpionSoulSkorpion Join Date: 2002-04-12 Member: 423Members
    I have a question: does the room get bigger the more five year olds are in it, or does the density of five year olds simply increase as you raise your claim of child-beatingness?
  • napinapi Join Date: 2003-03-01 Member: 14172Members, Constellation
    this is a stupid question, but have any of you ever been in a 'fight' with a 5 year old?
    I've got ~13 years of martial arts experience, included in there is a lot of teaching - quite a bit of teaching very young kids. One of the things they *love* to do is fight against the blackbelts... you can let them hit you as hard as you want and you really can't feel a thing - they just don't have the muscle strength to hurt you!

    not to mention that you can jump over an average-height 5 year old.... 'nuff fun running up and down the court clipping them on the head as you jump over and dive into the group haha

    How many? How many can you fit on the court...
  • RaVeRaVe Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17538Members
    The problem isn't that they come at you one at a time. The problem is that they're probably gonna end up dog piling on you. One 5 year old kid? No problem. Ten 5 year old kids? I guess not....

    Hence why I bought up the raining kids <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Which sort of reminds me....what kind of kids do you mean? All you said is that they were 5 year olds, that I admit.
    But is there, by any coincidence, a chance that they are <b>NINJA KIDS?!</b>

    The thought startles me....

    This was posted on SomethingAwful's forums a while ago, and while contemplating it, I started cracking up when I imagiend plowing through 10 of them in one stomp-kick-esque move with my 15 pound steel-toe boots.
  • raz0rraz0r Join Date: 2003-07-24 Member: 18395Members
    I could probably maybe only take 10. on a good day <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    once 2 of them latch onto you, and start pulling you down, they all jump on you and take you to the ground. Try standing up with 10 5 year olds on top of you :/

    I am simultaneously intrigued and disgusted by this idea. But there is no such thing as thoughtcrime, so whatever.

    I wonder why everyone focuses on punches, though.
    First, five year olds are SMALL. I'm around six feet, so I could only hit them in the face if I didn't bend over, making it very easy for them to duck my swings. Furthermore, if I DID bend over, I'd lose much of my much-needed maneuverability. Without constant dodging, I'd get surrounded and taken down in no time.
    Second, my legs are way more powerful than my arms. Now, "powerful" may not be a good word to describe my limbs, but whatever. At any rate, I have a hard time imagining ANY human's arms being stronger than their legs.

    And remember, five year olds are SMALL. They're the perfect height for kicking. AND kicking is, as already described, more powerful. Heck, a good kick would probably send them flying. Literally. But of course, there is the issue of balance and maneuverability. You could probably only get in one or two good kicks before having to dodge away. I'd say the biggest danger, aside from getting surrounded, is simply losing your breath.

    Other than that, knocking out one of them and using them as a kid-flail is not a bad idea at all. It's a pretty heavy flail, but if you can connect with it, it's bound to have some effect.

    Pretty much what I was thinking, once they're in close your screwed.

    That thread said they would be specificaly trained to team up so you can expect some to latch on and try to weigh you down. Getting into a corner and trying to keep them at the end of your jab by using your reach advantage could work at first but against more than 10 of them anyone would blatently be going down.

    5 year olds are suprisingly tough and they're too dumb to realise when they're in pain half the time. Any adult who has play-fought with a 5 year old before will be familiar with the searing pain as a small person headbutts them in the nuts. Imagine 50 small, malco-ordinated children, all charging towards you, their foreheads roughly at ball height.

    If you're lucky, you'll be there all day. If you're particularly stocky or strong, you could be looking at an Neo/Agent smith kind of scenario. But once one of those toddler braincases hits you in the knee or nadsack, you're going to fall over. Once that happens, you're unlikely to get up again.

    I played a lot of Rugby and American football, so I reckon that gives me more of an edge than my martial arts training. I'd say 60ish, before I made a mistake and a thousand toddlers screaming "Kekekekeke" crushed me under their little OshKosh B'Gosh clad feet.
