DimeUhDozen · Jan 21, 2023

For Kyoko, Misako, Marian, Provie, Kunio, and Riki:

Abilities:

Further Accelerated Development. XP is consistently used as an in-universe power. In River City Ransom Underground, it is stated by Dr. D to be something capable of gaining infinite potential if properly harnessed. XP can be gained just by fighting mid-combat and can increase one's health, damage output, weapon damage, special meter, speed, and luck.
~~Regeneration~~ ~~(Mid-Low). Able to regenerate from their River City Girls Zero bullet wounds~~ ~~to the point where they aren't even visible.~~
Enhanced Senses. Able to fight and see enemies in a fog that causes headaches and disorients the game HUD. Able to dodge attacks not in her line of sight.

Resistance:

~~Limited Resistance~~ ~~to Information Analysis (Sabu's Upgraded Yakuza are capable of learning their opponents moves with every punch, yet Misako and Kyoko handled them with ease)~~
Resistance to Fire Manipulation, Poison Manipulation, Ice Manipulation/Statistics Reduction, Electricity Manipulation/Paralysis Inducement (Can block and parry attacks that would induce these status effects. Can also recover from them after a short amount of time)

I agree for the most part, but I wonder the "Enhanced Senses" part could be something more since the fog was actively glitching out the HUD.

Hey wait a minute, would this make the Owl fight viable?

I was thinking that as well, but I don't have a proper name for it or anything substantial to indicate this, so I think Enhanced Senses would do.

Prolly.

Extrasensory Perception???

I mean, what kind of disadvantage would you have if your HUD started to glitch?

You wouldn't be able to perceive your own health, meter, or stat level. I dunno. RCG is playfully meta, so I'm not quite sure.

Then that might be 4th Wall Awareness that the girls are aware that their HUDS are glitching. It doesn't seem to disorientate them at all. Only the fog does, which is definitely Enhanced Senses.

This works, since it's considered a real thing and is gained in mid-battle.

Seems fine, but you should provide more context (es the scene or whatever proves she's been shot) and reference what this comic is

Looks good

I don't see this being IR, if the point is her dodging attacks from behind, that's a another case of Enhanced Senses.

I don't see this being a resistance, Misako and Kyoko where just better and/or stronger.
To qualify as a resistance, you'd need something like the robots being unable to analyze or learn from them entirely.

I see this more as a game mechanic, rather than actual resistance, because it's pretty much what happens in every fighting game, where a simple block cancels or greatly reduces damage from anything, whether they are punches, swords, fireballs or more.

No, because the character needs to be unconscious, distracted or else.
You can perceive things that out of you line of sight even irl, the problem is doing it precisely like this.

It's a cutscene from River City Girls Zero. They typically use manga for some of their special cutscenes.

And I made the necessary revisions to the OP.

A few moments prior the ponytail girl questions whether or not they have actually been shot, or even if the whole thing happened at all, because from what I understand, they had entered a videogame or something?
They also make a meta-joke based on "I don't know how videogame logic works", which might invalidate the regeneration at all, since such videogame logic could include "be hit by lethal weapons without getting visible wounds"

The joke that runs frequently throughout it is that they're dumb and they don't remember stuff. In-universe, it's an adaptation of Misako and Kyoko's first adventure together. The ominous ending about how Ken and Sabu will be pissed about what happened in it if it were real is a precursor to what actually ends up happening in the sequel. We could chalk up videogame logic to something akin to toon force though since they use it for humor purposes.

SamanPatou · Jan 22, 2023

In their first adventure/og game, do they straight up get shot?
Otherwise, even in the actual events, they might have just evaded the bullets, or there might be some reality-warping shenanigans involving said videogame logic and everything concerning this meta-joke/meta-narrative trope.

Overall, I still think it's not enough to say they actually got shot and regenerated, also because they seem to talk about this eventuality as a pretty serious deal.

DimeUhDozen · Jan 22, 2023

They do. It's how the og game ended. Though because of the dubiousness regarding it all, I'm inclined to agree.
