The fastest GPE calc I could produce for the croc is 941 KJ so... solidly in Afton's favor but not like, cataclysmic.
More free food I suppose.
Because it's funny
Yeah if he decides to do any tactics whatsoever, he's got the advantage there, but FF can be weird with tactics.
yeah especially at dawn, and near a lake. A little small for the natural habitat of the Deinosuchus, but still.
He honestly probably wouldn't rush a big croc that's in the water. He's bloodthirsty not stupid
He also has a live chicken in his hands to start with though!
This key he does actually typically let people come towards him if he's letting himself in a person's sight, letting the Illusions misdirect them instead.
Fuuuck man i don't knowwwww...
Yeah a lot of William's typically In character actions rely on the fact he's fighting a human, so he's sort of out of his depth here. I don't think it's crazy to assume he wouldn't bombrush a crocodile who's absurdly bigger than him though.
Yeah it's not absurd to assume some standard common sense here like "Don't rush at a Croc head-on dumbass, that's where the teeth are."
I doubt William is going to stick around near the croc at all if he goes into attack at all honestly. In basically every page he attacks or generally torments Hudson, William instantly retreats into vents or into an unknown area of the horror attraction.
He has to attack eventually, even if the Deinosuchus goes for it's prey, Crocs are deceptively fast as **** and anywhere in a like 200° radius of the head is danger zone
The croc isn't gonna know that though. All of it's senses that could be used to tell where William is will be completely ******. It can make it smell things that aren't there and make it hear William inside it's head or in places he simply isn't. He can definitely get cheap shots in with literally no danger to himself, especially if he just waits for the croc to tire itself out from seeing things that aren't there like shadows attacking the crocodile.
And if he comes from behind he gets slammed. Because shadows eventually are going to be adapted to.
Honestly I don't think he's gonna try to grapple something that big. Like, him hugging the mouth wouldn't even get him anywhere if he had the LS advantage. It's just too big to LS.
If he did have an LS advantage he could theoretically stop that tail from moving, but I doubt he'd try that in character regardless. He really just likes to tire his opponent out until they're too mentally and physically drained so he can safely kill them. If William couldn't survive complete physical body destruction i would vote for the croc, but unfortunate FF William is the only mf in the series who puts use to 99% of the Remnant page, including spirit abilities.
The Deinosuchus is basically just a really big Saltwater Crocodile, so yeh.
Yeah but if he's Deathroll'd into just not having any limbs he can't really fight anymore lol
It does actually work on living people, Andrew notoriously is possessing William (with William having a strong enough mind to fight off the possession, and settles with constant nightmares in his head) throughout the entire The Man in Room 1280 story, which while he looks fking terrible and the priest makes question of if he is alive, William is unfortunately alive.
I mean, even if you don't say he's going to melee immediately, the framing for his stealth implies after sneaking up up close enough, he'll try to rush and melee a target to death. Also, if Afton knows he can't get the croc from the water, he could always use his fantasy-reality boundary manipulation to attach the crocodile with his illusions.
Yeah but that requires William to leave his body and he famously also doesn't like to do that if he can help it.
Kinda hard to say because he's only ever done exactly that against a human, and this all hinges on the idea he can properly tell when a crocodile is too tired to fight back.
