LM Classic round III Ultimate Team War Feverish v Kefka

Thanks to Con for his valiant attempt to withstand my team's assault. It won't work of course and I'll explain exactly why in due course. CAPTAIN KEFKA'S TEAM. 1) Kefka: So it is agreed that Kefka is in his weaker pre-EX Mode form and can't use Light of Judgement. The source does not actually mention Ultima orbs tracking targets at all. It is the description of the Forsaken attack which says: "In EX Mode, the orbs turn in the air to track opponents." It seems that the orbs created by Ultima don't track opponents. 2) Anima: Instant death - "can, in some cases, cause instant death to the enemy" =/= 'will automatically cause instant death to the member's of Team Pro'. Especially when you consider that two of my characters are classed as immortal and the other three have armour and force fields way beyond anything in the FF universe. 3) Kyo: Speed - Captain Kefka acknowledges that "it's not specifically defined how fast he really moves" but then goes on to suggest that his footwork is as fast as Monkey's. By his own admission there is absolutely no foundation for this argument and he even goes on to admit that Monkey is "technically faster" at the start of the battle. There is no doubt in my mind that Sun Wu Kong is significantly faster than Demon Eyes Kyo in terms of reaction time and movement. I have given an example of the Monkey King's speed but Con has failed to do the same for his character. To further compare these two characters objectively, Kyo fights armies of samurai, Monkey fights armies of gods and demons. Awareness - Con says "nothing beats the training of a warrior of one of the greatest cultures in human history." This is clearly not true or the teams in this tournament would be made up of samurai, roman centurions and Egyptian warriors. The main point of the street-level character distinction is between human level abilities and those that are more powerful. Demon Kyo has some superhuman abilities but as Con maintains that it is the result of human level training, his awareness is clearly not one of them. Con's analogy comparing human level brains and experience in the very separate fields of Academia and relationships has zero relevance when comparing the combat abilities of human experience v super-human powers. Summoning gods - Please link to a document describing the dragon god as a mere illusion if you intend to use this attack. 4) Itachi: Summoning extra entities is not allowed so no to Susanoo, allowing this would also definitely invalidate Itachi's status as street-level. Captain Kefka has not yet explained why a character with such powerful abilities should be regarded as street-level at all and I am growing increasingly sceptical. If this is not proven in this round I will call for Itachi's disqualification. ===== THE BATTLE: Basically my opponent suggests his team can react and respond faster than my team, even though I have presented clear reasons (and examples) for my team's speed and he has not. He assumes that his own team can react and move much faster than the evidence suggests. There is no way characters with near human level reactions will be able to do anything in the first second of the battle. +0.01 seconds This is where Con concedes that Monkey is "technically faster" but he goes on to claim that Kyo can sense Monkey's lightning fast leap (with human level samurai skills) accurately judge the precise point of his landing (despite the fact that the faster Monkey can easily twist his body to change his trajectory mid-flight) and get his sword out ready in time. Just no. It is agreed Monkey is faster so he will be one step ahead of Kyo the whole time. He also doesn't need to get that close to Kyo to beat him down because his staff (which was previously used to measure the depth of the oceans) extends much further than a sword. Sword attacks have also always proved ineffective on Monkey, even the swords of Heaven's greatest generals. Kyo will still be trying to judge the path of the leap when Monkey's staff caves his skull in. +0.05 seconds If Itachi can respond this fast he is clearly not street-level. Ironman will be accelerating at super-sonic speeds, there is no way Itachi can lock eyes with him. It's also very difficult to establish eye-contact (or know when you've got it) if someone's eyes are concealed in a helmet. Tony doesn't look out with his own eyes at all (same goes for Fett and Pred) they see a digital image that their suits 'eyes' project onto their retina. Con also suggests that Itachi's mental attacks are strong enough to bypass Tony's Psi-shields. If this is true then they are on a level beyond all but the most powerful psychics in the Marvel universe and therefore definitely not street-level. Ironman's Unibeam will be frying Itachi before he even thinks about looking up. +0.3 seconds. Check that time again. Less than a third of a second has passed and there is nothing to suggest that Captain Kefka's team can react in time to defend themselves from the ensuing onslaught. Kyo is dead, Itachi is either dead or disqualified and none of these remaining characters have super-fast reactions. Kefka won't have time to cast his protection spell when that mine explodes underneath him and his limbs are ripped from his torso (I don't know why my opponent thinks explosions are silly). Now who's laughing. Guts may have some serious armour but his head looks kind of exposed and when the cross-hairs on Slave 1's laser cannon target him, it's game over for berserk boy. From the video, Anima looks like she can take quite a beating but even she can't withstand for ever and the sheer velocity and volume of the attacks will soon break down those 18,000 hit points. +.7 seconds Itachi is out of here and human level reactions will still not have kicked in yet (that's why Drac hasn't got going yet). Again if Itachi can instantly steal and apply the powers of such a powerful foe when he is not even aware of Drac's location then he is absolutely beyond street-level and must be removed from Captain Kefka's team. Anima will also not know where Drac is, is not fast enough to be doing anything at all just now and is too busy getting cut to ribbons by laser fire. Dracula can not be killed by heart explosion only heart impalement, which is kind of tough when he's in his vapour form. +1 seconds The battle is over or just possibly, my guys are still finishing off Anima as she starts to think about responding. Depression is known to inhibit serotonin receptors which negatively affects information processing and reaction times [ http://www.sciencedirect.com... ] and if there's ever a textbook case of depression it's your girl right there. Just for fun, I'll contemplate the possibility of a one-on-one between Guts and Pred but what Captain Kefka seems to forget is that Guts won't even be able to see Pred as he flies round at the speed of sound using a host of long range attacks. Guts will be a fat little fly in The Predator's web. Captain Kefka's team has failed to pull anything spectacular out of the hat and are all wiped out, see my previous round for how my team carries on to make sure and then.... it's party time! Tony falls off the wagon and gets drunk, Drac bloats himself on samurai blood, Fett spins the tunes and Monkey and Pred go at it in a break-dancing/body-popping battle. Over to my opponent. Pro.
