For the record, I mean the Pre-Cosmic version of him so they don't just suddenly have nuke punches and time travel in their bag. Not sure how this'll work for characters that don't have four arms like Peak Monster Garou did but I'm sure someone can make it work.
 
Frisk from Undertale: The kid is basically untouchable, being able to do a no-hit run whenever he wants, so the broken gets even more broken, Sans won't dodge any attack, bro

Lord Boros from One-Punch Man: Hmmm, not much changes in his battle against Saitama, since this is his only current fight and his opponent is a 4-A, although to be fair due to Saitama's exponential growth, he would be a High 6-A

Godzilla from Godzilla: Dude, a giant radioactive lizard that has high-level martial arts and analytical foresight... My goat will give no-low diff to all opponents

Weiss Schnee from RWBY: She won't be cooked anymore and lose every solo battle she has, maybe this time she can become the leader of Team RWBY, oh wait, the one who chooses is Ozpin, she will continue to be just Ruby's partner... She defeats the fodder Boarbatusk without difficulty, the White Fang lieutenant is stomped, she doesn't need a tactical loss in the battle against Flynn and Neon, she would probably be the one who would go to the next level of the tournament in Yang's place.
In this case she would fight Mercury instead of Yang, as she is skilled as a Garou, she would realize that Mercury has metal legs and would see through Emerald + Mercury's tricks and would not fall into the trap set by the duo to screw up her image, unless they use another approach to screw up the situation, but if it is the same tactic, it would not work.
In this case, the plan for Beacon's fall would have a high chance of going off the rails depending on how Weiss acts with the realization of the cheating done, but assuming Beacon still falls, another possibility is that due to the prominence she will receive for her overwhelming skill advantage when compared to the others in her turn, she becomes a candidate for Maiden in Pyrrha's place, which could greatly screw up Cinder's plan to steal Maiden's power and potentially result in her fighting Cinder, perhaps with the help of Ozpin, which could seriously screw up any success Cinder had in this department. So it's likely that between volumes 1-3, the Salem faction will be heavily damaged and Beacon won't fall like in the original. In fact, much of the villains' plan would be screwed up by Team RWBY's interference, so it's possible they'll try a totally different approach.

Shit I spent too much time on the last one

Anyway, is it just Garou's martial art or will there be any other Haxs imported from him for the character himself?

Just his martial arts skills, none of his hax powers. The only exception is his ability to learn new martial arts on sight and add them to his ever evolving martial arts style since that's kind of a hax power but it's powered entirely by his skill.
 
You know, I'm honestly curious about the people saying their characters would be weaker with his martial arts namely the reasoning behind it. Granted debating raw skill is my least favorite part of any vsbattle because of how nebulous it is.

Honestly, a vast majority of mine would honestly benefit from his martial arts. Instant learning is that powerful.

Alpha from PGR, Kasana Randall from Scarlet Nexus, Wolf from Sekiro. Not really much to analyze.

The only one that might be an exception is 2B since she's killed not one but two instant learners with a skill gap being so large that when fighting one of them because he can almost instantly regenerate, she had cut him up faster than his healing could keep up.

That being said, 2B has never demonstrated instant learning herself and even expressed fear when she realized they were learning her moves by fighting her. So if her skills were supplemented by Garou she would definitely get even better because she'd benefit from instant learning. However if her skills were replaced I'd argue she'd get weaker.

It's an addition, not a replacement.

I was mostly joking but there could unironically be an argument made.
A big part of Mori's skill is that he achieved such a level of perfection with his moves that people with Garou level copy talent took over 3 million attempts just to learn one of Mori's basic kicks.

So Garous martial art moves would, in Mori's eyes, be EXTREMELY unrefined and sloppy. That being said he would most likely just instantly improve them to his level or close to it, or just not use them.

So he wouldn't ACTUALLY be less skilled unless you forced him to use Garous skills as they are rn. But it's a funny thing to say ig
 
Nobody from Len'en would really benefit from it because it is primarily a danmaku series.
 
Ochako Uraraka from My Hero Academia: Well, I'll skip the entrance exam for simplicity's sake and start straight from the Battle Trial Arc... So basically, Heroes: Ochako and Izuku vs. Bakugou and Tenya. Well, they've canonically won before, and now the victory is relatively comfortable. In the U.S.J. incident, the number of villains she neutralizes is notable, which would ease the burden on her other teammates. Even Shigaraki and Kurogiri would be pressured by the skill difference, but on the other hand, Nomu... So, All Might would still save the day.

During the U.A. event, Sports Festival: Ochako would excel in the first two tests. In the third, she would kick Bakugou's ass, taking his place in the tournament. Kirishima would fly out of the arena and also be defeated. He would outskill Tokoyami and fight Todoroki, who has a decent chance against Ochako because of his area attack. However, with Garou's agility and an anti-gravity Quirk, maneuvering between Todoroki's attacks would be a challenge, but he would still be defeated. This would make her extremely popular throughout Japan, and many heroes would send in internship requests. I like to think Ochako would defeat Mirko in this scenario.

In the Hero Killer arc, she wouldn't do anything because she was in another city, but if things changed enough for her to be in the right place at the right time, Stain would be outskilled by a 15-year-old girl.

In the Final Exams, she would have to face Nezu or All Might, as other teachers would be outskilled into submission. Then, in the Forest Training Camp Arc, Toga would inevitably be outskilled, as would practically everyone who fought Ochako before. I don't know if Izuku or Bakugou would be caught up in this...

In the Provisional Hero License Exam, she's also kind of untouchable, although she could be defeated under the right circumstances, that would be incredibly unlikely.

Well, I'll end it here; I'm not going to write the entire MHA, bro.
 
Natsuki Subaru? Er he'd do a lot better against fodders and low-tiers but he still couldn't beat any actually relevant fighter. Like he'd still die a few times in Arc 1 because there's stat gaps he just can't overcome with martial arts. In fact he might die more cause his skills would make him prideful and prevent him from calling Reinhard, it could even lead to a slightly different version of the Ayamatsu route. Unless his martial arts skills help him with magic which wouldn't be realistic imo he'd just kinda be the same lol. Re:Zero's story surrounds Subaru with people way stronger than him.
 
I would go with Pink Diamond from Steven Universe, but I'll go with my second favorite Lapis Lazuli because it's easier...

Well, with her new skill level, Bismuth won't simply one-shot Lapis from behind, but assuming that even with that, she ends up trapped in the mirror. When she is freed by Steven, she wouldn't need her Hydrokinesis to fight the Crystal Gems, being able to win hand-to-hand. Worse than that would be if the water clones she is capable of generating possessed Garou's martial arts, and considering that her water clones are normally capable of copying the Crystal Gems' combat ability... There's no way the trio can realistically beat her, that didn't even happen in canon to begin with, so Steven has to intervene and defuse the situation and then heal Lapis, who escapes into space in the process.

She would probably end up being captured by Homeworld anyway because of her personality, but when the moment of truth came during the escape, and Jasper forced her to fuse, Lapis could just beat the crap out of the orange gem, so Jasper would finish Poofada off pretty early and Lapis would be left with nothing to do.

With no way to return to Homeworld and Steven's constant influence, Lapis could become a Crystal Gem long before canon, and she and the rest of the Gems would work together to stop the Cluster when the time came. When Steven accidentally freed Bismuth, there would likely be a falling out between the two... At least if they met.

When the fight against the Diamonds occurred, Lapis wouldn't be hit once, but she doesn't have the AP to defeat either Blue or Yellow, so it would be a stalemate... I don't think it would change much, she would just be much more OP than in canon.

Like Garou's stuff can compare to
[Gunhead Martial Arts]
 
you said no hax ... what do you mean with martial arts skills?

many would benefit from his talent alone cause he copied shit that took martial arts master decades of work. And attacking internal organs, or even if the attack misses shockwaves enveloping the opponent and crushing their bones is pretty dope

- Dean/Jose fight would be a lot different. Jose was outgunning and outskilling Dean so hard, with the only thing saving him was Moris armor and thus making it to the other half of the round. Recoiless kick is what made the difference and it was bigger than Moris (according to Mori himself). If Dean had Garous strong body or property condition in martial arts or even both of it, he would have copied recoilless instantly without needing the few days of honoring his body ^^ due the damage he receives from using it. And with Garous talent, that kick could reach the radius of a damn galaxy ... im 100% sure XD

- Goku/Beerus fight .... ive watched that fight 1-2 days ago and the universe was at least 4-6 times in danger with Goku managing to create mid fights new techniques which nullifies the universal power in some ways. The shockwaves got stronger the farther they traveled because he couldnt control his own power/Beerus, so he did that little trick with shockwaves getting stronger and doing the least mount of damage to the universe. Moments later, his newer little trick worked and he nullified 100% of it, but dozens of power ups happened, which were confirmed by both Beerus and Goku. Universe was in danger .... again … but Beerus nullified that explosion cuz otherwise universe boom ... long story short :D base Goku upgraded his skills again and can do it without problems

With Garous talent and him knowing the flow of the universe, im pretty sure the universe would never be in danger to begin with^^

- Saitama has done a lot of crazy things but if he had Garous mindset, he would become the best fighter in the universe according to Garou^^

A lot would benefit from Garous condition in martial arts or stats ^^

But the scariest part of Garou is his talent… its top notch :D
