wait for the response dawg, we all waited for krg to drop his args too
Now here's the actual skillslop.
I'm throwing this out first and saying that Glare is much more skilled than meets the eye.
Experience is fun and all, but it isn't really the "be all, end all" kinda deal. A person can have a gazillion years worth of experience, but can still unconventionally lose to another guy seeming less experienced than him. Not that it's invalid, mind you, but there should be some sort of actual feat backing up said experience.
To put it into example,
this guy's the strongest swordsman on Earth at the time. Yet, even with this much experience, he loses out to
this guy even though the latter's just a rookie and their actual swordsmanship skills are worlds apart. How is this possible? Saber uses his intelligence combined with his versatility to capitalize on the many powers and abilities he gains, letting him rival the best of the best swordsmen even when his actual swordsmanship is inferior to the rest. Keep in mind that all Calibur users can receive countless visions and timelines of the future. Even though this Calibur doesn't spam it as much in combat, this is very important since it will come back to this post.
that statement is the starting point to give you an idea of how big of a gap between the normal characters and the sword saint+ tier characters like halibel have. I literally added the Elsa stuff to back that up as you pointed out. An eternity of training and they would still get skillstomped.
However, every Geats Riders and their mothers have the resistance against AnPR by being able to go toe-to-toe with Magnum users who have AnPr and homing bullets. And this isn't even bringing up the funni Saber & 01 scaling:
- Remember Calibur? The second Calibur spams precog that allows him to precog entire timelines of the future right from the present, and he's able to keep spamming it to see just about every move the Saber Riders would make so that he can easily counter them. This also doesn't counteract the fact he's already a very good swordsman in his own right, since he can also fight against that first Calibur relatively well. However, Saber's the star of the show, so he's dispatched off despite having such high level precog.
I would need some scans, there are none for this on his profile. I will give you something better though, Old Wilhelm who is below SS Theresia could perfectly predict how his fight would go against Yae, despite her setting up traps beforehand and wilhelm being a swordsman having no idea of the shinobi tactics. Despite this, he perfectly predicted that
he would reap the shinobi's life in 4 moves.
Precognition (Kurayami gives the user visions of possible futures. He foresaw multiple fights and outcomes of each fight. When he gave up Kurayami, he still saw visions but not to the extent that it ruins his life),
And again, these seem inferior to just the basic anpr Emilia has where she can dodge perception blitzing attacks by just reading her opponents intent.
gang...the wank is insane
Firstly, if saber could see Durendai and then managed to block him then that isnt anpr, we see how he clearly sees him go back. If this is what you think anpr is then i am sorry but even i body saber in terms of anpr because predicting tennis balls is genuinely harder than this.
on the other hand, it is clear that he ALWAYS just goes behind his enemies, if you have even the slightest bit of reaction speed/sensory ability you did be able to deal with this especially since he starts his attack AFTER time erasure is over. Heck, i did argue that the leaper technique used by ley which was
predicted by Ram is superior because of how unpredictable Ley is along with the constant switching of techniques he did, using stuff like
layered invisible air blades that could slice through the both of them,
teleporting randomly in all
3 dimensions around her (not just behind her),
powernulling her
attacks and
genuinely just being a menace.
This is all below Theresia, mind you, she did be able to instantly counter all of this.
- Remember when 01 was the poster child for bullshit precog with quadrillions of battle scenarios being precogged within a mere second or something along the lines? The weakest precog in 01 was potent enough to counter TP spam and speedblitz simultaneously. There's also the fact that said precog is also able to accurately precog the fact that the current timeline is going to be erased into another timeline, and then that other timeline becoming the original timeline again, all in the span of one sitting. Post-Series 01 Riders are no joke, and yet one Saber Rider is able to clash swords against one of these post-series Riders without much issue.
Geats Riders are high in the scaling because
Geats casually defeated Kamen Rider Revi in their skirmish, who can fight alongside both Saber and Zero One equally. This is the same Geats that Glare is able to stalemate while also having two other Riders who can catch up with Ace to deal with alongside Geats.
no scans, plus this isnt on the profile. I can't just take your word for it.
this isnt explicit enough to say that he "Dodged" the explosions while being inside of it. This could just be him tanking it or the explosion missing him entirely, as we see in the clip the explosions happened around him not on him.
compare this to
Elsa, who dodged a room blowing up, without exiting it. this is much more concrete, than that clip since it is clear that the explosions somehow did not manage to hit her regardless of the fact that the entire room blew up, leaving no physical space to dodge it.
Zoous, one of the general Megids, is also able to do the same. In fact, the moment he sees a technique, he's able to counter it even in that same fight. However, he also got defeated by the Saber Riders, who Glare is around or marginally above. So this is funny.
Elsa is an eternity below Theresia who is inferior to Halibel, so even if you want to compare that he did be inferior to halibel but this isnt needed either because Elsa is superior in this too. Any attacks she sees once wont work on her twice, even if its a danmaku afterwards. The quantity becomes irrelevant.
Every technique she sees even once in battle
doesn't work a second time against her, as she foresees it coming and promptly avoids and punishes the repetition. Even if a countless number of attacks are used, so long as she's seen it once before
every last one will fail to reach Elsa
Everyone can dodge rain. Hell I can too! It's called an umbrella.
Jokes aside, if a Rider can fight evenly against people who speedblitz him, has high level precog and can fight against bullshit time erasure, Halibel will still have no problem easily dogwalking him
you are completely right and i agree with you
Remember, Geats dodged an actual explosion while he was inside one, and also
this is what he can do with two bullets and a gun. This feat was done without Magnum's AnPr abilities btw.
Actually a pretty cool feat, In comparison to that, Elsa can
hit the vitals of her opponents despite having her mind and senses completely cut off from her body.
Also dodging omnidirectional ranged attacks is average
in the day and life of a Kamen
Rider.
I saw some new responses, and will get to them in a bit.
The difference between omnidirectional ranged attacks and dodging rain, rain of light, and mists of light is that the former is physically possible while there is NO physical space to dodge rain. Despite this, they are able to do so via skill alone. dodging omnidirectional ranged perception blitzing attack was something extremely basic afterall.
Also, none of this matters if he cant do something about this
Even if he predicts everything Halibel does, Halibel could just exploit the momentary gap and one shot him.
