AURA FARMING LEAGUE ! MATCH 9: KEVIN KASLANA VS SEPHIROTH (WEEK 2)

[Hecky2222]

`Honkai Impact 3rd vs Final Fantasy 7

From a world scorched by endless war… where sacrifice became the only answer… walks a man who gave up everything for a future he might never see.
Cold resolve.
Unshakable purpose.
A hero who chose to become something else… to save what remained.
The final weapon of humanity…
Kevin Kaslana.

And across him…

A legend born from perfection… and broken by truth.
Grace in every step.
Destruction in every presence.
Power that feels less like strength… and more like destiny itself.

The one-winged symbol of fear and divinity…
Sephiroth.

Tonight…

Frozen resolve…
meets divine elegance.

A savior who abandoned warmth…

Against a god who embraced the fall.

No rush.
No chaos.

Just two legends…

letting their presence speak.

Let's start with the big guns

First video:


Up to 0:06, we can already understand the context needed in order to understand the situation the cutscene takes place in: a group of Rhadoran soldiers pushed our Shinra/SOLDIER troops into a corner. Then, our main squad decides to come out and give them all what they've got, only to stop after seeing something descending from the sky (0:11): a white feather. The camera angle changes prospective completely (0:14), we now see a helicopter in the sky, multiple feathers falling down, and birds as candid as the falling feathers passing by, all in slow motion. The camera angle changes once again (0:15), and we're now looking at the ground again, except for the fact that...a new character has appeared. The feathers fall at his feet, the Rhadoran soldiers halt the fire, and we don't get to see the SOLDIER's face — what we see is his blade (0:23). The blade is unsheated, and he's now standing in the middle of the battlefield, giving his back to the camera, and facing off the entire enemy military team combined (0:30). He launches himself into the fight (0:31), the Rhadoran soldiers shoot missiles against the other SOLDIERs — but those missiles were cut in half before they even reached the target (0:37). They all drop their weapons (0:42) — not because they surrended to Shinra, but because they surrended to death (0:47). Not only the entire team is annihilated, but even their cargos and vehicles, with only one man standing in the middle of this carnage (0:57). Reinforcements approach the unnamed SOLDIER, but he activates a Materia (1:03), returning all of his opponents to the ashes God shaped them with. The survivors can only look in disbelief and be amazed at the terrifying scene of said SOLDIER in the middle of the fire of war, of slaughter, of carnage, of strife, of conflict, and so on (1:18), who only then turns around (1:30), showing a face as perfect and beautiful as that of the Devil himself, with only one name obscuring all the thoughts in their mind: the legendary first class SOLDIER, Sephiroth.

Second video:

Third video:


(Take into account that Sephiroth standing in the middle of the flames of Nibleheim is also one of the most iconic cutscenes in gaming history, reason for why you can see it many times across the multiple medias that belong to the Final Fantasy VII universe)

Aleplaza is fraud to mention that and farm extra points

 

[PlungingThroughTime]

Kevin auradiffs with his boss theme: (1)

Statues and one taps the three main characters. (2 and 3) - Once because he literally statues the main characters, the second because he annihilates them all with one attack, with ease might I add.

Obligatory aurafarm (4)

This 1% chibi robot of the goat proceeds to stalemate one of the top tiers of the verse (when the manga came out) - Debatably lost because it ran out of battery. (5)

The fight against the Herrscher of Sentience: One of the top tiers of the verse, 'a born hunter', a Herrscher who is born to destroy.
Terrified her to the point she has flashbacks of Hua's experiences, something she didn't directly live through. (6)

This - 'Well then, this time, do your best right from the start and let me see what you're capable of, Herrscher of Sentience. This is the only way I can show you mercy before I kill you.' - This quote while he's fighting her in her own sentient space... and winning, of course. (7)

All of the aura farms in the Part 1 Finale opening trailer:
1 - Literally just aurafarming with his sword. (8)
2 - Standing with his back to his old comrades (dead), symbolising he's the last one left, the only one that managed to persist. (9)
3 - His final attack against the Herrscher of Finality on the moon. The strongest being in the verse and the only one who could stand up to it. This attack stunned them for 10 hours. (10)
5 - Reveal of his transformation. (11)
6 - This magnificent pose he pulls for no reason post-transformation. (12)
7 - Clashing with the main character of the series, this shot is pure aura. (13)
8 - Kiana and Mei flying at him, Kevin in the middle, amazing shot btw. (14)
9 - Kevin in the above handles them both without taking a hit, Mei is another Mei character, equally as much development as Kiana up to this point. (15)
10 - Flies backwards from Herrscher of Reason Bronya's blasts, without taking a single hit, staring at her while he does it. (16)
11 - Suplexing a literal dragon. (17)
12 - The aurafarm immediately after the above clip, floating above the main characters, raising his blade into the air. (18)

Throughout all of this trailer he never, ever takes a clean hit. Against the main characters.

 

[Mugen-Kokutosho-Jigoku]

bro the first video already has multiple aura farmiong moments

Edited to break it down into multiple moments

 

[PlungingThroughTime]

More about Kevin, the Elysian Realm Dialogue, excluding Recollections:

Quotes from when you meet him in the Elysian Realm (Roguelike, so you have multiple random dialogue chances):
‘The reason I can wield this blade as my weapon is that I can break it with my own hands. That’s all I have to say about power.’ (19)
Quote is literally seeping with aura. His blade is incredibly powerful, supernova level heat. It has a history of killing its user because of how hot it is. Kevin can freeze this blade, only adding to the point of his statement.
Hero's Memory 2 - 5.6:

Mei: We meet again, Kevin.
Kevin: …Herrscher of Thunder.
Mei: So you’re not an exception among Flame-Chasers.
Kevin: …?
Mei: Everyone here has an unexpected attitude towards Herrschers. I used to believe it was your personality that led you so, but now…
Kevin: Your coming here was permitted. There is no need for overreactions since everything is under control.
Mei: Under control?
She got her answer right away.
Kevin didn’t even lift a finger, but the world around him suddenly stopped froze and became suffocating.
Mei: Oh… you did exactly the same thing in the outside world.
Kevin: And I believe it’s not something you enjoy.
Mei: …….
Kevin: Don’t worry. I won’t do anything beyond my duty. Go seek what you came here for… if it really can be found here.

Casually intimidates one of the main characters. Doesn't even lift a finger. Even the final quote ‘I won’t do anything beyond my duty’ is a threat to Mei, implying he’ll kill her if he must. (20 + 21)

He does the same thing in Chapter 17. These are two completely different versions of Kevin, yet they aura-diff Mei in the exact same way to prove a point. Aurafarming is instinctual for this man. (22)

Extract from Hero's Memory 8 - 5.6:

Kevin: Family name… I don’t know what this word means. If you’re referring to “Kaslana”, it was never used in the old times.

Mei: Just like “Kevin”, it’s a mark of identity that emphasizes family ties and the bloodline. “Kaslana” represents a unique house and lineage. I have… a wild theory about the family name shared by you and my friend. Kevin, what do you think about having a descendant? If you had a chance to meet her, what would you say to her?

Kevin: There’s no way I have any descendants, Raiden Mei. But just to satisfy your curiosity, here’s my answer: You don’t have to care about your bloodline. All my sins stop with me.

He shoulders all his burdens alone, even totally denying he has a bloodline. He doesn't care for it, feels no connection to it. (23)

 

[Mugen-Kokutosho-Jigoku]

I guess i'll just post all of Sephiroth's theme songs (all pretty auraful if you ask me lol) as a response









[Altough the last 3 do sound similar, they should be counted as different due to having different lyrics (the Advent Children one, for example, is in fact a continuation of the one from FFVII if we analyze the lyrics), instruments and overall rythm]

Do also note that One Winged Angel is not only the one and only song with actual lyrics in Final Fantasy VII, but it was also the first song with actual lyrics within the franchise.

Hydrogen Bomb vs Hydrogen Bomb

 

[PlungingThroughTime]

'Humanity shall defeat the Honkai' - The pose and the quote intertwine making a peak aurafarming moment, looking over his shoulder at Seele while he says this. (24)

‘For 15 centuries, the Honkai ravaged my home while I drown in past memories, powerless to do anything. But the Serpent shall return. I shall fulfill my duties whether you accept it or not.’ (25)

When Kevin was first introduced he was literally represented as a Serpent, Seele later recognises this to be Kevin. Being introduced as the literal World Serpent, a mythological figure, is full of aura. (26).

Here is him facing down the Herrscher of The End, the strongest enemy of his era. (27)

This pose and the following scene I will break down.
The pose obviously counts for immediate aura. (28)
‘The people of this era have triumphed over Honkai many times. Perhaps too many times, as it’s made them naive. So naive that they forgot this is only the remains of a cycle and a chess composition set by another.’ - Of course, immediate disrespect to his opponent, reminding them that the Current Era only exists because of the sacrifices of his Era and his companions, affirming his superiority over them. (29)
‘I’m Kevin. Kaslana has long meant nothing to me.’ - This is especially relevant because the space they’re fighting in is the Kaslana stigma space, where everyone of his bloodline is equal. He uses a higher power and affirms his superiority over his bloodline. (30)

Casually blocking the Will of Stigma’s blows with his wing alone, more blatant disrespect. They’re only dealing one damage. (31)
He then casually sweeps the Will of Stigma away with one hand. (30) - This is especially impressive because the Will of Stigma represents his whole bloodline, including himself.

The way he finishes off the Will of Stigma, turning his back on him after slamming him into the ground. (32)

Constantly having his back to the camera to farm aura. The narrator even glazes him, calling his sword the ‘blade of judgement’. (33)

Here's his wallpaper from Chapter 31-EX. Dude gets wallpapers because he aurafarms that much. Constantly hitting poses with Shamash. (34)

In Chapter 31, here's Kevin's Simulation using Judgement of Shamash to harm the Herrscher of Corruption, a Herrscher with total control over the data space Kevin is in. (35)
'It was a blow that exemplified absolute destruction' - More narrator glaze, he annihilates someone who should be utterly untouchable and causes the Herrscher's power to drop, even as a data construct. (36)

BRING SEPHIROTH AND DANTE

Is this what bro asked after stomping Diablo in previous match

 

[PlungingThroughTime]

Is this what bro asked after stomping Diablo in previous match

Yeah. Actually quick question, there's 6 aurafarms in my previous post which weren't counted in the previous match because we'd already 10-0'd Diablo. Would it be okay to use those here, or am I not able to repeat them because they were still discussed?

If I didn't count them yes

You can use used args in matchday 1 in matchday 3

I don't count used args from matchday 1 in matchday 2 unless character genuinely lacks lot moments.

Alright, thanks. Is it alright if you post the current standings of this match so we know what's been fully counted / what the current score is? Happy waiting, I just wanna pace things rn because I wanna 10+ the next opponent.

17 - 16 till now

 

[PlungingThroughTime]

Uncounted aurafarms from previous post:

1:

When sealed while he is in the Sea of Quanta, Kevin Kaslana's memories make a bubble world, showing the events of the 12th Herrscher's awakening to one of the current main characters, Seele. Here is how he approaches Seele and his ally, Yae Sakura. Observe the masterclass in aurafarming. He approaches in the shadows and lets his blade light up his silhouette. (37)

2:

After escaping from being sealed he continues his organisation, the World Serpent, dedicated to Project Stigma. This is how the serpent signals his return. He merely lifts up his blade and farms more aura. (38)

3:

His blade's history doesn't stop here: It's a powerful symbol within the Current Era.
He and his blade have had myths written about them, from those described in the above manga panels to the myth of King Arthur. Kevin Kaslana has legends written about him, this is how far his influence over the Current Era spreads. (39)

4:

Skipping over the Current Era Herrscher of Sentience and Raiden Mei's interactions with the data construct of Kevin Kaslana in the Elysian Realm. Kevin Kaslana waits outside of the realm, for Raiden Mei to leave. Mei was trapped inside, unwittingly bringing in the Current Era Herrscher of Corruption into the realm. She cannot leave until it is killed, if it will be killed is uncertain. Kevin Kaslana waits outside regardless.

When Mei finally leaves the realm, this is the pose he's been holding. (40)

5:

When Theresa Apocalypse enters the Kaslana Stigmata space and is challenged by Kevin, she is no match. This requires the administrator of the Kaslana Stigmata space to stand in for her. Against Kevin himself.
This man has so much aura he floats above and aura farms himself. (Up to 8:11) (41) - The transformation scene has added aura, raising his blade up, his power crashing down from the sky. (42)

6:

Some context: Project Stigmata is such a horrid plan for humanity and Kevin knows it, but Humanity must defeat the Honkai. He gives everyone a chance to defeat him. To prove their way is better, and truthfully, he wants them to defeat him. To transcend Finality, to prove they can safeguard humanity in a better way. He fights to make them prove themselves to him. To make them prove they're worthy of bearing his burden.

In the final battle against the three main characters, this is his speech.

The authority of Finality, the Samsara of everything in the world... is right in front of you.
This is the opportunity you've earned.
But you must also have the ability...
You shall bear the burden. (43)

It's not a matter of choice, or of life or death-
Right now, the will of all people converge into a single wish-
Step forward. This is the signet of Deliverance.
The burden of a hundred beasts... A diabolic descent. A deliverance by the blade-
It is the Chimera of humanity, the end of Stigmata; the blade that transcends Finality.
If you cannot overcome it, you cannot carry that dream called fire.
Lets go. This time, I'm loading my own life into this chamber
And expect you to transcend everything! (44)

Sephiroth acting nonchalant while having the Buster Sword at his neck:



Sephiroth landing gracefully and nonchalantly after sending Zack into the depths of the Mako reactor with little to no effort:



Sephiroth giving the Jenova stare at Zack, fully showing what the perfect human weapon looks like:



"I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to rule this planet."



His theme starts playing, and he destroys the entire platform but one straight line that still manages to stand:



The game warns you: "If you are driven to the edge, the game is over." What follows is a boss fight in which Zack has to desperately stop Sephiroth from advancing, who just comes closer and closer menacingly, sending Zack, step after step, closer to his demise:

But that's not all, let's also bring in the fight against Genesis and Angeal:

The fight literally begins with a warning from Angeal to Genesis, "Don't take Sephiroth lightly.", as they go into a 2v1 against him:



Yet, they both get their attacks countered, parried, blocked and so on by one man:



This keeps going up until 8:00, where both stop and then decide to charge against Sephiroth at once from two different sides. Yet, he effortlessly blocks their attacks:



Genesis attacks from above, Sephiroth nonchalantly sends him flying back to where he came from:



Then, 2 seconds after (8:16), Angeal decides to charge alone. Despite having a sword more than double the size and weight of Sephiroth's one, he still isn't capable of getting past the legendary blade:



"Ha! Is that the best you can do?"

[Mugen-Kokutosho-Jigoku]

Is this what bro asked after stomping Diablo in previous match

Bro really wanted the smoke

 

[PlungingThroughTime]

1- You do not need to be hitting that pose. He is literally just talking to an old comrade, gets up and poses mid-conversation. He is legitimately just farming aura. (45)

2- In the same conversation he uses the same catchphrase 'Friend or foe, pick your side' - He uses this against the Herrscher of Sentience, when he's first attacked. This same enemy ran around the Earth, defeated Durandal, one of the strongest characters up to this point, killed the main antagonist and only tied against Kevin. The Herrscher of Sentience later admitted that she was foolish to think she could win. (46)

3- His attack names:
I'm excluding the attack names without aura, they're viewable on the linked profiles. Many contain references to actual godly beings and show how this universe sees Kevin, how much raw aura he has. (This is a long collection, at minimum each form should be counted separately).

Base Kevin: (47) - For attack names

Blazing Incendiarism
Constellation of Destruction
Alone on the Path of Deliverance
True to a Hero's Tragedy

This Worldly Beast. This is all of the history of Earth, recorded as a Honkai Beast. You have to fight this thing, the entirety of the recorded past, materialised by Kevin Kaslana. This reeks of pure aura. (48 + 49) - 1 for attack names

Phanerozoic's Shattering
Leviathan's Break
Harbinger of Mass Extinction
Phanerozoic's Last Glow
Evolutionary History's Reversion
Phanerozoic's Tombstone
Diabolic Repulsion
Genesis' Meteors

Kevin's Diabolic State. (50) - For attack names

Power over the Finale
Burdened with Brahma
Diabolical Descent, Imminent Destruction

Deliverance Kevin. (51) - For attack names

Chimera's Blade (In Honkai Impact 3rd, a Chimera is someone with multiple Honkai Beast genes from MANTIS surgery. He took this surgery multiple times, this surgery has an extremely low success rate and Kevin was the first to have the surgery done on him).
Giver's Termination
Fallen's Glory
Deliverer's Godhood (This attack has a barrier which is called as 'Kevin's strongest defence' - It's so powerful it takes the combined energy of people from Earth and the 'Captains', this included your Honkai Impact 3rd username and your friend's usernames. He's so powerful it takes plot and the power of friendship to break his barrier. That just shows how much aura he has. This should be counted seperately.) (52)

4 - One of the first things we see from the moon arc is him casually dispatching this Honkai Beast. Dude is casually styling, spinning around the beast, literally just showing off when nobody is watching. (53)

5 - His second fight with the Herrscher of Sentience. A second quote and the way he wipes the floor with the Herrscher for the second time.
'Unfortunately, even so, you cannot keep me for long. I do not know the exact number, but perhaps in this dream, endless objects similar to feathers exist, acting as a medium for your power. To deplete them would be akin to fulfilling your goal... but you seem to have overlooked a possibility. What if someone... could deplete them all in one go?... Since you cannot be killed right now, Herrscher of Sentience, come, have a taste... of the full power of the Diabolical.' (54)

He then does exactly this, destroying this sentient space in one shot. He even cuts her off doing it, just for added disrespect. He's deliberately trying to farm aura. (55)
The only reason the Herrscher was able to survive is because she hijacked the dreamlands Kevin created to continue creating sentient spaces. Even with his own power, he can only be stalemated. (56)

6- When Durandal follows fighting Kevin after the Herrscher of Sentience and then Garuda Fu Hua, one of the strongest in the verse interrupts with a sneak attack, it's not even to defeat Kevin. They're aiming for his shadow, stating they don't have the ability to defeat him. All of that struggle from top tiers like Durandal and Fu Hua just to cut his shadow and gain a fragment of the Finality power he holds. (57)

7 - The power Kevin wields is continuously destroying his body, but his incredibly potent regeneration counters it. He's being 'continuously reborn' - It's stated that it's amazing he can even maintain sanity. This is pure aura from his mental fortitude alone, handling such a burden. (58)
He does not even show he's in pain. Kevin says that the pain he's in is 'insignificant in comparison to the price humans have paid' (59)

8 - Kevin Kaslana in a recorded replay physically interacts with one of his progeny, forcefully awakening his bloodline's power, stabbing him through the chest to do this. No reason at all behind it. (60)
It's even uttered that 'Kaslanas die and never yield' - He passes his aura down through his bloodline with myths and the Kaslana oath. 'By the judgement of Shamash, Kaslanas die and never yield' this line is so raw it should be counted. (61)

9 - When the Elysian Realm is faced with its final destruction at the hands of the Herrscher of Corruption, he doesn't even bother facing his allies. He aurafarms to the camera once again. This man needs to be stopped. (62)
Keep in mind the weapon used to kill this Herrscher is only usable by Elysia. It's called the Kevin Killer MK666, made by Vill-V, the master inventor. This inventor, also a data sim in the Elysian Realm, determined that the only way to kill Kevin's data sim was to erase the entirety of the Elysian Realm, basically calling the data sim of Kevin unbeatable despite many weapons being made specifically to kill him by Vill-V. This should also be counted separately too. (63)

Elysia: Kevin Killer Mk 666.
Elysia: It can wipe out the entire Elysian Realm in one go… think carefully about what activates it, Vill-V.
Vill-V: It’s The Expert’s design, but… that part’s still up to me.
Vill-V: What’s at stake is the remaining 13 Flame-Chasers. Both unanimous vote and majority decision are flawed options.
Vill-V: It’s hard to imagine a situation in which it… needs to be activated.
Elysia: Well, that’s a bit troubling.
Vill-V: Which is why I think…
Vill-V: Elysia, since you’re the one who let us leave this story behind…
Vill-V: You should also be the one… who puts an end to it.
Elysia: Do you mean… the decision is mine?

 

[Jackof_noTrades068]

I’m just here to provide some light cover fire. Since PlungingThroughTime has mentioned alot

But dawg, this is how seriously the HI3 narrator (The Cocoon of finality) takes Kevin playing basketball

For anyone else it would not be this serious, but he’s Kevin; ofc it is.

 

[Hecky2222]

Damn this is allat yap. I will look into it later.

But damn burning your goals whereas matchday 3 has though opponents again

Are you ok with getting burned in next matchup(since you guys burning your goals there) or should I give you to both lower level opponent to regen your goals

Snip

Snip

 

[Mugen-Kokutosho-Jigoku]

Back for another round

Sephiroth casually deflecting Ifrit's attacks



Also Sephiroth casually one shotting Ifrit



Sephiroth's honest reaction after Genesis tells him the truth about himself (aka, Sephiroth being just an experiment):

"Whether your words...are lies created to deceive me...or the truth that i have sought all my life...it makes no difference. You will rot."



Then i suppose we can go over Sephiroth as the actual final boss of FFVII

For starters, Sephiroth has not one, but two consecutive boss fights: one against Bizzarro Sephiroth, and one against Safer Sephiroth



Focusing on Safer Sephiroth, we can see how the design is both a combination of divinity and monstruosity, of Jenova's godhood and Shinra's sins, which result in the most divine and heretical being the world has ever witnessed: Sephiroth.

But that's not all for our big guy here: one of the most iconic moves in the entire franchise is Safer Sephiroth's Supernova, a deadly spell that locks the entire battle on a minutes long cutscene of the entire solar system collapsing after a meteor launched by Sephiroth penetrates through multiple planets and makes the Sun explode:



AND WE'RE NOT DONE YET

After the fight, something strange happens to Cloud and he starts having a mental crisis. The following are his words:

"He is still...here."

And then, when Cloud dives into the Lifestream in order to stop Sephiroth once and for all, we see him standing there, mercilessly smiling and laughing, showing off his abdominals and muscles as he is shirtless:

Aura. Itself.

 

[PlungingThroughTime]

His first fight against Durandal, crucially not his second fight. Not counting the aura-farm above the ice, that was tackled last thread as it is an in-game cg too.

He not only casually blocks Durandal, once against the strongest in the verse at the time, with just his aura (0:26). (64, count include’s jack’s post).
Casually blocks Durandal’s 1st and 2nd blows, hitting her with an immediate counter, effortlessly showing his dominance. (65)
Blocks the massive sword and lands without taking damage. (66)
Surrounds and detonates Black Abyss White Flower, a divine key. These divine keys use the powers of Herrschers, he casually destroys it. (67).
His standoff with Durandal at the end the two engage in an aura-farming matchup of their own, Kevin literally letting his ice grow around him as he floats slowly upwards to meet her. (1:04) (68).
Once again, no reason to do this other than aurafarming.

Against Fu Hua's Sentience in the same chapter, arguably one of the top tiers at the time, he offscreens her, which has aura by itself. (69)
He then lays down this quote.
'You've given everything you have. You need to rest now. You don't even have to lift a finger. I'll finish our cause.' - The confidence of the statement, not wanting help, simply deciding he'll wake Hua up when it may even be years until the Honkai is defeated. His confidence only contributes to his aura. (70)
After their fight, which he describes as a 'reunion with an old friend' completely brushing off her power. (71)

Otto Apocalypse, the leader of Schicksal, the strongest Honkai fighting force at the time, instantly recognises Kevin's power and has no choice but to respect it. (72)

Otto observed the man before him. His inhuman gaze was devoid of emotions, memories or warmth. Yet it made Otto a little nostalgic. None dared to belittle him ever since he became the Overseer. But this man belittled everything. Schicksal and Otto himself meant nothing to him.

Otto even glazes Kevin in an attempt to be friendly. Otto Apocalypse is a 500 year old backstabber, murderer and notorious schemer, yet even Otto deems he must be on Kevin’s side:

‘I know who you are and what you did. I am an admirer of your great deeds and exploits. Father to the Kaslanas, hero of the Previous Era, Sire of the World Serpent, and enforcer of Project Stigma…’ (73)

Kevin even hands him an ultimatum when Otto says requests will come with a price. - 'I don't need your promise. You either submit, or you will be destroyed.' (74)
Otto has to bargain with Kevin, even Otto admits that the World Serpent would crush Schicksal and it'd only take time, despite Schicksal running the world. Only adds more credibility to Kevin's aura. (75)

What's the current score? I have more, I just want to save some stuff for the next match too. I'm not exactly certain what's being counted on Sephiroth's side, for example are the quotes - 'He's still here...', 'He's laughing' counted as 1 or 2? They're next to each other in the same scene after all.

With amount of scenes you are posting i am not keeping with thread at all. I will check fully later. If you have some parts that should be counted 2 instead of one, edit it or show me.

At glance not definitive score rn is 35 - 45

Damn this is allat yap. I will look into it later.

But damn burning your goals whereas matchday 3 has though opponents again

Are you ok with getting burned in next matchup(since you guys burning your goals there) or should I give you to both lower level opponent to regen your goals

Also this

As Sephiroth once said, "i will never be a memory".

Shall we slow it down so a proper recount / determination can be done before I post more?

Also this

I think we've got a bit more but it's gonna be a bit annoying to go through. I'm not sure who our next opponent is because I believe the original 3rd opponent was Daemon Targaryen but they got substituted out? Not sure on that.

It is changed to Chris Redfield. Basically I am saying if I count all 35 Goals rn, your this goals will be burned in next round, so you can't use this points in Match 3 but in Match 4

To be fair... I don't think he'll be easy to beat if Wesker is anything to go off of, unless fans don't participate for Chris as Wesker deffo has more moments, though I'd want other supporter's input to actually make the decision of if we burn goals here and keep going with hopes to win on recount? I could keep going and a lot of the scenes provided are just blocking attacks and regular fighting from the same scene counted seperately.

I didn't count points for each yet. I just looked and told you what can be score

But seperating moves and pointing them out if they are "cool" enough isn't disallowed.

@Mbpoops asked me if we allow that. I will tell you all simple rule: This isn't about who has "more cool scenes". But who wanks better. So I don't see reason why to not allow this like tricks unless they are repeating themselves. Sure you can use this too.

 

[PlungingThroughTime]

Alright. Will re-evaluation be the final score? I assume so, right? Or will there be a chance to post more after?

huh chill out this ain't quarter or semi finals

 

[Mugen-Kokutosho-Jigoku]

Since my opponent(s) seem to want to push for like, 80+ points, i'll gladly follow their pursuit



From 0-10 up to 0:28 seconds, we can already see the setting where the scene takes place: the entire Super Smash Bros Ultimate cast is struggling against Galeem (the final boss of the game's story) and his army of Hands, on the verge of being completely wiped out from existence by his light. But then (0:34), something unexpected happens: a slash. As everyone stares in disbelief, Galeem has been cut in half (0:41). Before anyone can question the identity of the one behind such an incredible feat, One-Winged Angel starts playing (0:44), and Cloud can only pronounce the name of the culprit with visible fear in his facial expression: Sephiroth (0:51). We then see Sephiroth himself floating in the middle of the sky, with his usual smug smile, hitting a legendary pose (0:58). He then opens his mouth, saying: "I have been waiting for this moment. Now, i shall give Smash despair." (1:03). And from there, one of the most auraful trailers ever conceived by the human mind begins...

• (1:12) Sephiroth standing in the middle of the fire, his most iconic scene in the history of Final Fantasy VII. It is also important to note that in this game, Sephiroth is one of the only few characters to have a special winning animation like this one;
• (1:15) Sends Solid Snake (from the Metal Gear franchise) back to where he came from with a single slash;
• (1:17) Does the same with Marth (from the Fire Emblem franchise);
• (1:18) Sends Incineroar (from the Pokémon franchise) flying with a simple attack;
• (1:21) Effortlessly fully counters an attack from Hero (from the Dragon Quest franchise) and sends him flying away;
• (1:23) Cuts the entire battle arena in half;
• (1:24) Auraful pose, nothing much to say;
• (1:28) Takes down both Corrin (from the Fire Emblem franchise) and Joker (from the Persona franchise) down with a single upper slash;
• (1:30) Makes Link (from the The Legend Of Zelda franchise) explode;
• (1:33) Walks menacingly into a literal black hole nonchalantly;
• (1:35) Obliterates Zelda (from the The Legend Of Zelda franchise) in a similar way to how he kills Aerith in Final Fantasy VII;
• (1:39) Replies with "Pathetic" at the combined forces of Mewtwo, Shiek, Terry and Chrom (from the Pokémon, The Legend of Zelda, King of Fighters and Fire Emblem franchises respectively), showing off his dark wing;
• (1:44) Very auraful pose with his wing mid-air;
• (1:45) Another cool pose with his wing;
• (1:46) Completely obliterates Captain Falcon (from the F-Zero franchise);
• (1:48) Completely annihilates Ike (from the Fire Emblem franchise);
• (1:50) Another very striking and auraful pose of our One-Winged Angel;
• (1:53) Makes both Shulk (from the Xenoblade Chronicles franchise) and Mega Man (from the Mega Man franchise) explode;
• (1:55) Walks away from the explosion in the coolest way possible;
• (2:00) One shots both Bayonetta (from the Bayonetta franchise) and Greninja (from the Pokémon franchise) with a mere slash;
• (2:04) Impales Mario (from the Super Mario Bros franchise) with his sword;
• (2:13) Smiles at Cloud's attempt at confronting him;
• (2:52) Replies with "I will never be a memory" at Cloud's words, who defeated Sephiroth using Omnislash V.5;
• (3:00) Transforms into Safer Sephiroth, completely overwhelming Cloud;

I have a lot more that i can still use, though it seems like it's not wise to continue burning up feats like this.

 

[Mbpoops]

[Jackof_noTrades068]
