Housen blocks a kick (Calc review)

[Dark_Soul20189]

Welp, let's see how this goes...


Verse - Classroom of the Elite
Profile - Housen
Feat - Housen block's a kick from Ryeen.

Now, with that out the way, the calc in question is this one.

Now, why do I have an issue with this calculation? It comes from this part of the calculation.

The original calc accounts for Housen movement to be a 90° movement of his forearm which is wrong since he moved more than this; his right hand was in his pocket or at least in resting position so he moved it all the way up over his left shoulder and we can see his arm was basically all stretched so it's more correct to account for a 110° movement of his entire arm (should be close to this).

The entire calculation is based on the assumption that Housen's left hand is still in his pocket, something that has no other proof than it being there when just walking BEFORE, grabbing Ibuki. I find it unreasonable to assume that it's still there before Ryueen attacks. To make this worse, Housen was clearly trying to provoke them, assuming he wouldn't be prepared to block an attack is much more of an "assumption" than making the case that he was prepared.

So yeah, I think the calc should be reversed to the old one, recalculated again, or at "best" add a possible rating.

Also, during the thread, @Vzearr has provided a good alternative, as a new calculation for the feat in question.

Welp, with that, I will leave the thread to the experts.

I'm not sure where else it could be if not in a resting position. Also, the other calc assumes 90° out of nowhere, so, even if, it doesn't solve the issue, nor you are proposing a better way to calculate it.

You being unsure is not the best argument, and something worth noting.

I am not comfortable with calculating stuff on the wiki, so any proposals I made would likely be worse than the other options.

Also, while the other calc may be "wrong", it seems more accurate than the one made by you, from my understanding of them.

But you are ignoring the main point. I gave 3 options: reverse the calc, add a possibly rating, or recalculate it. You ignored 2 of them, and admitted that the 3rd option, involving the old one, had the same issue as yours, then proceeded to shift the attention to me not being able to provide a calc for myself...

But yeah, if they both have issues, option 2 is preferred; if that's not possible, switch the calc out. If that is invalid, we can, in the worst case, just add the possibly rating.

OP is fine. Use the minimum distance moved.

You willing to do the calc yourself, or?

Not trying to pressure or force, just asking.

Yeah I can do it tonight.

Alright. Thanks a lot.

In the sense that he didn't really have any reason to raise it, especially considering how arrogant he is in that scene. The simplest scenario is that he kept it in a resting position; he had no reason to raise it.

But you are ignoring the main point. I gave 3 options: reverse the calc, add a possibly rating, or recalculate it. You ignored 2 of them, and admitted that the 3rd option, involving the old one, had the same issue as yours, then proceeded to shift the attention to me not being able to provide a calc for myself...

I just think the best assumption (I can't 100% prove his hand was in a resting position) is my interpretation, especially when no one provided a reason why his arm would be somewhere else.

 

[Vzearr]

Alright. Thanks a lot.

Your delivery has arrived early.

Thank you, the OP will be updated in a moment, after I am done eating.

could the novel version of this feat help provide insight as to where the arm was?
