It seems that fighters can fight against their destiny/fate:

  • "It's hard to see the future of you fighters. I guess because you're always fighting against it?"
  • "It's not bad to think that you can fight against destiny. But it's also very dangerous..."
  • "You're like a bright star, fighting against your destiny! I guess it's kinda poetic?"

The first sentence is already used in the pages to justify resistance to precognition, but it looks more like fate manip (or both).

Agree: @KingTempest (Limited Fate Manipulation), @ActuallySpaceMan42 (Limited Fate Manipulation), @Vietthai96 (Limited Fate Manipulation)
Disagree: @DarkDragonMedeus, @Dalesean027

Who is saying each of these, do we have scans for justifications for them being credible sources for fate type stuff
 
I think resistance to precognition is enough, since that's what they've demonstrated resistance against. The statements are too vague for me to think applying anything else except maybe "Minor Fate Manipulation"

Yeah actually this seems more sensible than outright fate manip

Why not "Limited Resistance to Precognition (Divination) and Fate Manipulation"? Fate/destiny is clearly mentioned in the statements so I don't think we should just limit it to precognition.
 
They're said to fight against fate, which is moreso an application of fate manipulation than it is a resistance to fate manipulation. They aren't resisting an ability being used against them; they are affecting the natural order of things themselves.

It makes more sense that way indeed.
 
So I edited the title and the OP because yeah my dumbass didn't understand that what is described here looks more like fate manipulation, not resistance to fate manipulation.

So what's your opinion exactly? Fate or just limited Fate?

I'm iffy on the text, sounds like a figure of speech to "Fight against impossible odds."
 
I had only recently double checked the fortune teller part, but I think limited precognition resistance sounds more likely than limited fate. And yeah, there is also just the likelihood that it's kind of a weak type of precognition that didn't really require resistance and what she saw turned out to be an inaccurate future.

Hmmm thinking more, it could be argued her fate vision just sucks ( i.e. cant handle complex / world changy stuff ) but I think thats a stretch

She has a hard time doing it because they are fighting against their future/fate.

Nothing really implies that tbh.


Another thing I discovered, in Menat's story mode she wants to go see Bison to tell him about her future which she saw in a crystal ball, and Bison said this:

"So, a fortune teller... "Fate is a fixed line." eh? Heh heh heh. Interesting. To resist and change one's fate, that is what comes from true power."
