Since we where on the topic of Yuki earlier I gotta talk about her punch feat cause it genuinely drives me nuts.
Yuki with a Bom Ba Ye amped punch goes
straight through Kenny's arms and sends him flying through Tengen's barrier. After she gets blasted by Kenjaku's domain Choso states that she
needs to heal to recover Bom Ba Ye's output, which she does. She then proceeds to punch Kenny
multiple times straight in the face and does next to
no damage even tho her output should have recovered.
I have three ideas for what may have happened here.
- Kenny wasn't reinforcing himself fully during the first punch. Unless you are the top 2 or Yuta you are not gonna be continually reinforcing your body to the maximum and instead have to know where an attack will hit to reinforce that part of your body.
- Revealing ones hand. Yuki reveals that her technique is mass which may have temporarily boosted it's output.
- Yuki wasn't able to fully recover her output/expended too much CE.
If it's either of the first two then BBY's AP might be significantly lower on average than we thought and Yuki might drop significantly in the rankings. If it's three then that's easier to swallow but it also means that anyone who can dish back significant damage to Yuki (which is most top tiers) is gonna be dropping her output badly even if she can heal from the damage. This is especially gonna be a problem against high CE reserve or high stamina fighters (cough Yuji and Yuta cough) who could simply outlast her.
Personally I think it's a combination of 2 and 3. I find it unlikely that Kenny wouldn't be reinforcing himself when be was not only very weary and on guard but also managed to react to her and attempted to block her punch.
