Lm Classic: Yraelz vs. Acer

First let me again clarify my argument. I never said faster than light speed is not possible. It could be possible to go faster than the speed of light, howver, to do so, one must time travel, which is ofcourse illegal in this tournament. Therefore, Sephiroth can travel faster than the speed of light, as proven by the video, however, he cannot do so in this tournament. "First my opponent uses my own source to argue that Tachyon particles are too unstable to be treated as existent. My intent with this argument was never to prove that Tachyons do exist." Actually, it was your intent to prove they exist. If they don't exist, then your argument has no value. And, as I said before, tachyon particles are subatomic, Sephiroth, made of whole atoms cannot shift into Tachyon particles as my opponent claims. And, even if he does, it would be completely pointless. Sure he may be able to move at the speed of light, but his body mass would be nothing and therefore he could not do anything to my team. But, let us not waste anymore time on this argument as the following will make it quite pointless. 1. My opponent has conceded that the team members are never ordered to do anything. (The next few are all just different options. They could happen individually or all at once, either way sephiroth dies.) 2-1. Sephiroth was never ordered to move at the speed of light and so it would take some time for him to realize that he must move and attack the enemy. In that couple of seconds, Kakashi looks around and realizes that he is not facing his opponents. (Since my opponent and I never agreed to the starting location, we start at the opposite ends of NY). He, being a genius (IQ over 200), would immediately know to take off his headband and use his sharingan. And as my opponent conceded, Kakashi would be able to see Sephiroth coming and minimize him to a point. 2-2. Even if Sephiroth began to move as soon as the battle started, how does he know where to go? The truth is he doesn't. He is from an old time period, how does he know his way around NYC. Also, the buildings are indestructable, meaning he can't go barging through, he has to go through the streets. To find my team, it would take a couple of seconds in which Kakashi would have already activated his sharingan. http://www.youtube.com... 2-3. Though it is true that Sephiroth can move as fast as the speed of light, he rarely he uses this ability and almost never in battle(except in SuperNova). Think about it. If he can move so fast, then he could defeat all his enemies in less than a second. So why doesn't he? How does he lose to Cloud? As shown in the video clip above of Sephiroth fighting Cloud, Sephiroth never once moves faster than the normal eye can see. Even if he can move faster and kill his enemies instantly, he never does, and since the team leader can never order him to do so, he never will go that fast. 2-4. http://www.gamespot.com... -As shown in this forum, sephiroth's major weakness is arrogance http://www.gamespot.com.... He will always think his opponents inferior and therefore not try his hardest against them. Therefore, before he fights his enemies, he will reveal himself to them. (If you watched any of his battles, you will know that this is true.) When he reveals himself, all Kakashi has to do is use his sharingan and sephiroth is instantly defeated. Additionaly, my opponent has dastrically misunderstood the speed of flash step. He uses sources from a forum, which is a place of opinion, not very factual. He does, however, agree to the fact that the goddess of flash moves at the speed of light. Byakuya, having been trained by her, and having been training for a hundred years, can move almost as fast as her( as seen in their fight); so lets put this speed as 290,000 km/s. Ichigo, as seen in the fight against byakuya, can move much faster than him (7:05) . http://www.youtube.com... So lets put his speed as 299,000 km/s. This, however, is not his fastest. After Hollowfieng, he can go almost twice as fast. Since, speed faster than light is not possible, it is safe to say that his speed is the speed of light (or very close to it). However, even if you did not believe me, you can at least tell from the video that their flash steps move faster than the eye can see. This ofcourse means that they can move faster than sephiroth in a battle and overwhelm him. Sephiroth can barely keep up with Cloud, how could he ever hope to win against two bleach characters. "The problem is that the bleach characters cannot react to characters doing a flash step. They only begin to react when they see the other character reappear after a flash step. They can only guess where the flash step will take the other character." Not true. If you saw the video of Ichigo and Byakuya fighting, then you can see that they are both using flash steps and are able to react to each others movements. Now let me outline what really happens: 0 seconds: 1. Nothing happens because Sephiroth must first think about moving before he can actually move. Couple Seconds: 1. Sephiroth begins to move and tries to navigate NY and find my team. At the same time, Kakashi realizes he must use his sharingan and takes of his headband. 2. Sephiroth finds my team and almost instantly gets squished by Kakashi's Kumai. 3. If somehow he fails, my bleach characters will begin to fight Sephiroth and pwn him simply because they can move faster than his eye can see. 4. Sentry thinks about taking his serum and takes it. Now, my opponent has made a very big misunderstanding. No matter how Sephiroth is destroyed, it all would take less than a minute. His other characters have not much time to do anything. Before Sentry can gain his powers or even before the rest of the team can go hide in a building. My bleach characters and Kakashi would have found and killed all the remaining people. But, lets say that that doesn't happen and his team is successful at hiding. Even still my team would destroy them. "I'm holding him to the first statement. Kakashi wouldn't suddenly decide to do something differently because there was one less person killing him." Not true. As I stated before, Kakashi is a genius, he would send his search hounds before anything. Once he knows the opponents skill he would come up with a strategy to defeat it. He could simply send his clones and distract Black Alice. Or Metaknigt could use his cape to transport himself behind Alice and kill her. "Finally, on house. First off, building a toxin would take forever. Secondly, house would be dead before he even moved to do so and Sentry would destroy the shi" I think he meant ship. Anyway, as soon as Sentry tries to exit the building, my characters would instantly kill him. As you can see, once Sephiroth is defeated (99.9% chance of it happening), my opponent has no chance of victory. If he believes so, I will completely destroy him in the next round.
