Something I'd like to explain about Hyper Statyx: His opponents power and capabilities need to be at a certain threshold in order for the hyper form to kick in. It's a defense mechanism against opponents Statyx otherwise wouldn't be able to cope with, super form or otherwise. He wouldn't transform if he were simply getting beaten by someone who's stronger than him. The enemy's level of power needs to be in a completely different dimension.
