I would manipulate my clone into playing SC2 for me and become rank #1 and compete in tournament's let him play etc and people would think its me thats gosu.

I would probably lose to my clone :p so why not try to manipulate him

he'll manipulate youuuu

in my opinion if you had a clone it would be exactly like you and think like you. what would enable the clone to think differently than you? like there has to be a change for the clone to be different. for example i have a science test and i get 87%, why would my clone get any different? his thought process would be the same and do the exact same work as me shouldn't he?

so if i fought my clone it would be completely even, blow for blow.

I play protoss.
TVP I would scv marine all in and kill the protoss. Protoss would say imba then leave.

Oh, my original and I had an epic fight but I had the adamantium claw augmentations so I won. Clones fighting!

There is some randomness, if not on thought process, than on physical execution. Electrons move randomly, right? That might have something to do it with it.

For instance, picture a person throwing a dart on two tries. The person will think the same thing on both tries (his brain will tell his body to move its his arm and shoulders and thingers to do a certain motion), but the dart may as well go on a different spot on each try. Or a player shooting a football. It is near impossible for the human body to do the exact motion (down to milimiters and fractions of seconds) twice.

So my guess is me and my clone would try the same first move, but one of us will randomly execute it better, and from there it becomes a dynamic fight.

i think it depends mostly on when the clone began to exist. If it just hopped into existence in the room i think you would fight exactly the same but if it even existed at all outside of the room the fight may be different.

The thing about randomness at an electron level is that at such a larger scale, the trillions of small random events would average out to have basically no net effect. Sure, maybe if you were fighting the clone for infinity time, then eventually a difference would be noticeable.

well, do you know they're your exact clone or not? that would be huge in decision making. you would decide to play on your own weaknesses and predict your opponents next moves.

Or like defeating your shadow enemy in Prince of Persia. The only way to win was to not fight him.

Doesn't that happen often? Just pair up identical twins and watch...

I fought my clone already and I can tell you that we fought differently. I hope you are satisfied, I'm your father luke skywalker.

Identical twins have differences in their experience, so in their thought process too. They also don't have the exact same DNA, which means they have basic physical and psychological differences. They do not think exactly the same thing at exactly the same time in the same situation.

We would face each other, give ourselves some words like gentleman, crack a yo-mama joke and laugh because we have the same mom, and we'd punch ourselves.

I'm disturbingly certain we would try to hurt ourselves more than each other. Eventually we would be too tired to continue, and we'd just settle it with a rap battle, where mirroring each other's moves would just be cheap and stupid.

Afterwards we would talk about how much we don't like rap music, and play SC II.

...yes, I'm serious.

Neither would win. Neither would lose. The closest to victory would be to not fight at all.

Peace.

I think my clone and I would fight slightly differently because we would have different experiences (from when he was created... even if it was just a few seconds ago). Also, the location we would be standing in would be different (even in a symmetrical room) and might possibly affect how we make fighting moves. Thus even slightly different experiences plus random thought patterns could affect the way my clone fights me.

Does he know that he is my clone? I'm assuming clones don't like fighting their originals and therefore might fight slightly less effectively.

I would pay to see Mondragon play his clone in Starcraft. Actually I don't really care about seeing the game, I'm more interested in the pre/post-match interviews.
