How does she kill him? She has a intelligence advantage but his inf stamina should make up for anything she throws at him.

Good question, to be honest, it seems like Kirito's Infinite Stamina is just a really bad thing for Yang in this that and the other things that come with being a game avatar
 
"shes getting to 8-A through a crt i believe. So she either can one shot but he seems to have good regen"

Shes not though, the crt already happened and she didn't get 8-A

oh? Someone was just talking about it earlier on another vs thread
 
She was upgraded to large building level+ instead of Multi-City Block level as they didn't agree with the multipliers used for the calc
 
This fight depends on what kirito's ap is tho, yang has a chain of oneshots remember
From what I can tell kirito only scales above oneshotting baselines?
Geocrawler is baseline, skull reaper oneshot people who can kill the geocrawler, kirito is stronger than the skull reaper? Am I understanding that correctly?

Yes you’d be correct.
 
Maybe use her beacon key as she one shots like 3 tons in just her post beacon key unless his Regen can keep up with her ap advantage

I don’t think it can so I changed Yang to her Beacon key

how does his incarnation work/how potent is it?
Click to expand...
Incarnation basically works via his willpower. If he believes enough that he can beat someone or is stronger than someone then that would be the outcome, but it’s also a double edged sword since if he thinks it’s impossible to win that will be the outcome.

how good is his analytical prediction

As for Analytical Prediction I personally don’t know but I’d assume it’d be pretty decent since at this point he was trapped in the game for 2 years

Okay thats definitely gonna bite him in the ass against an opponent who is not only initially stronger, but can get exponentially stronger and faster on a whim and will be visibly undamaged by his attacks due to her Aura

From what i heard its pretty average for what it is, he was caught off guard and parried numerous times against opponents like Gleam Eyes for example
 
Yang should take this with some difficulty. She has a decent advantage in ap and durability (Yang scales above 4 tons whereas Kirito scales above oneshotting 2 tons) and her aura give she an even bigger advantage in the durability department, with her semblance amping her to the point of oneshotting people as strong as herself normally. She also has a massive advantage in lifting strength, meaning that kirito is getting overpowered easily if they end up in a weapon lock or if yang goes for grappling. Speed is equalized but both have speed amps via their active abilities so that kinda cancels out, but Yang is absurdly more mobile both in combat and in general movement thanks to her ability to change direction on a dime to keep her opponent off guard. Yang holds a massive range advantage (hundreds of meters vs tens of meters) so she can zone him though given his feats of dodging projectiles that's not too likely to work, still it's an option she has.

As per the previous point, Kirito's analytical prediction while good on paper is not that amazing in practice as he has been hit numerous times by his opponents even on higher floor numbers, so given Yang's fast and hard fighting style and mobility in cqc it's unlikely that it would come into play, though it would help him if she tried to range spam.
Yang's aura in particular is a massive asset here. Due to its mechanics as a full body forcefield it would outright nullify Kirito's stuns via Sword Skills as well as his critical hit mechanics, as both require direct contact with the opponent and an opening on their defense that allows the user to target a physical vital spot, which Kirito wont be able to do. It also turns Kirito's incarnation against him big time, as he would be used to at least seeing glowing slash marks on his opponents when he hits them with his weapons, yang wont have any marks on her, to his eyes she'll look like shes being undamaged which would likely trigger the negative aspect of Incarnation and turn the battle against him.
 
Funnily enough even Beacon Arc Yang holds a sizable skill advantage over Kirito. Kirito has two years of experience fighting a variety of enemies on a daily basis, while Yang has over a decade of experience doing the same thing, while also having a decade of training from one of the most skilled fighters in the world on top of it, whereas Kirito only has a few months of formal training from his childhood. Yang's skill is such that she was even recognized by and accepted into one of the most prestigious combat schools on the planet. And before its brought up that Kirito's is more combat applicable due to his opponents actively trying to kill him, not only is Yang's training made for her to combat monsters that actively try to kill her, but in RWBY pvp training fights are done with both people fighting all out including using bladed weapons and live ammunition due to Aura, allowing them to fight with their full capabilities without threatening to accidentally kill their opponent in a controlled exercise.

Yang's fast and hard fighting style in this key would likely work against Kirito's normal fighting style, especially given the aforementioned cqc mobility advantage and aura canceling or reversing a good chunk of Kirito's abilities. In this key she uses her semblance asap, as soon as she gets an opening on her opponent (or until she makes one) she will punish them which in this case is a death sentence for kirito.

Kirito can viably win if he plays the dodging game the entire fight and whittles Yang down but given Yang's skill and mobility advantage on top of Kirito not having prior knowledge and illusion spamming powers cough neo cough, Yang should be more than capable of compensating due to her experience fighting other slippery opponents like Neon and the Malachite Twins. Bfr is also a wincon but hes not really super likely to use it.

Tldr: Yang holds basically every advantage and Aura hard counters kirito's more dangerous abilities. Kirito can still win if he dodges the entire fight or uses bfr but Yang is more likely to win overall due to her skill advantage and rushdown hard and fast fighting style and semblance matching his speed amp and overcoming his regen.

Damn there goes all my dreams of Kirito vs other RWBY character matchups :(. Maybe Star King vs Pre Maiden Ozpin will be different.
