So it turns out Sam can use the crux ability to make Versus respawn a galaxy after he destroys it, therefore enabling Sam's power level to remain constant.

Sam doesn't even need to be that powerful, as long as the person attacking him is as powerful as the person themself, if you get my drift.

Talk about abusing the system. That's a pretty basic cheat code but it's damn useful.

In Sam's words "Fight smarter, not harder.".
