Kishin Seiken (Demonic Sword) Multiplier

Kishin sekin didn't even exist back then 💔

Using this same logic you must think Samuel ~ Jinyoung or Charles Choi went full power against jichang

Also Jichang was far far stronger then Daniel
I mean, that's what I said at first. But the attack is literally the exact same stance, and not only that but it's shown right afterwards that he was copying Gun to do it. Kishin Seiken is a Gun Copy.

I think Heat Mode can be argued as a multiplier if this thread gets approved.

Kishin sekin is a 17 moves combo
 
Wait since the CRT is about kishin seikin having a multiplier just to clarify are we saying each of the straight punches in the 17 combo are a 3x? Or that the total 17 combo adds up to 3x? (Genuine question)
17 Combo since even CQC multiplier is used that way
 
I've already justified this via Guns skills being on par with UI Daniel logically if UI Daniel and Gun are on the same level of Skills and it's stated narratively that UI Daniel has perfect experiences meaning all experiences in this context thus building up consistency to them knowing and mastering all martial arts

Also Gun and UI Daniel are both stated multiple times to know all martial arts + having masterd them
(Note: I am aware other arguments have been provided for the multiplier I just wanted to try and clarify why @Pyro9278 thinks that the statement that Gun ≠ UI P Daniel in terms of skill and techiques is outdated)

I'll try to go in order, even as far back as UI Daniel's first apperance in hostel he and Gun's skills were contrasted in favour of UI Daniel via Jerry

That's when the story showed us that Jerry gave gun a scar the narrator even calling it 'unforgettable'

'The person who gave Gun an unforgettable scar was currently getting thrashed' as we see that Jerry can't even land a hit on UI Daniel

Jerry also analyzes UI Daniel and then comments 'wait since when do I analyze my opponent?!' Implyinh he did not feel the need to do the same thing against Gun, Jerry also comnents on all of UI Daniel's techiques being perfect which he never does so against Gun

Image(1):

Then at the end of hostel when we got Gun vs UI P Daniel round 1

We get the following statements from Gun himself

'Using the word 'talent' is an understatement when you look down on your opponents'
+
'I am afraid. I am insanely afraid'

Granted the aftermath and panels during his speech makes it seem like Gun and UI Daniel fought pretty evenly but Gun is the only one that ended up with a broken arm which is even more insane knowing black bones is a thing in hindsight (not to mention we later learn that UI Daniel adjusts his power so Gun being able to land hits makes sense as he is an endurance based fighter with a condtioned body and high pain tolerance sadomasochist which means UI Daniel's fighting style of creating distance via punishment isn't as effective)

Gun's own words make it seem like Daniel's skill/technique/talent are better than his own since he directly comments that UI Daniel looks down on others (he has never seen UI Daniel before and it was his first time fighting him so I believe he is reffering to himself here especially since he also comments not once but twice that he is terrified, which would be weird if he was just as skilled as Daniel is)

Image(2):
Then in 3A we see Jake explain that the reason they ganged up on UI Daniel in a 2v1 is because UI Daniel's presence triggered their fight or flight survival instincts

'All that was left was the instinct to 'kill or be killed'' at that point both Jake and Samuel had fought Gun 1 on 1, and Jake even made Gun's lip bleed causing Gun to compliment him

Neither Jake or Samuel could even land a hit on UI P Daniel and Jake narrates that all that was left was fear, we also see that Jerry who has also fought Gun atp and gave him an 'unforgettable' scar also commented that he was afraid as well which we have never seen him react in a similar way against Gun

Neither Jake or Samuel have ever shown such a reaction towards Gun either before or after this fight even in HFG when Gun started fighting seriously

Jake during 3A was under the impression he had surpassed Gun (we now know it was 15 year old Gun lol) yet he still felt absolutely terrifed by UI Daniel

We also see during the summit that pretty much EVERYONE that fought UI Daniel had PSTD from their encounter with Daniel

Image(3):

We also have Johan and Imperfect Daniel's copy of Perfect Daniel

Both Johan and Daniel have shown the capability to copy Gun with no drawbacks yet Johan can ONLY copy UI Daniel for 10 seconds and by pushing his body past its limit, same with Imperfect Daniel who is even more indicative

In 1A when Daniel fought UI Daniel he commented that it was like fighting 'death' and that he was afraid, Daniel has never shown such a reaction when he fought Gun, Daniel never thought about comparing Gun to UI Daniel (but he has compared Jichang to Gun lol)

Not only that but in HFW UI Imperfect Daniel chose to copy UI Daniel when fighting Kitae and Changsu commented that Daniel was copying the strongest person he has seen

Daniel atp has seen Gun and has spent 1 month being trained by him where Gun showed him everything he knows, Daniel has also fought Gun, so imo the fact that UI Imperfect Daniel still chose to copy 1A Perfect Daniel over Gun despite the fact that copying the former would break his body while copying the latter wouldn't, if Gun was just as skilled as UI P Daniel then the copycats wouldn't be able to copy him with no drawbacks/recoil, or if he was just as skilled but copying him had no drawbacks they would do that instead of copying UI Daniel and breaking their bodies doing so

I am aware Gun holds back and lets himself get hit but even when he gets serious in HFG none of the cast outside of maybe Jerry show similar reactions to UI Daniel

Hell we even have the contrast between everyone being cocky that they know exactly how strong Gun is(granted they were wrong) vs everyone being terrified of UI Daniel

Even if they are biased because they don't know that Gun is holding back(mind you this shouldn't matter as UI Daniel is also holding back) it still shows that narratively all the characters hold UI Daniel in a higher regard compared to Gun (unless you count Incheon where Jake calls Gun the 'strongest man' though given that UI Daniel and Daniel get treated as seperate entities its entierly possible Jake just doesn't count him since his existence is basically conditional lol)

Anyhow to be clear this is NOT meant to be a bad faith debunk or anything of the sort, I just wanted to clairfy why Pyro and others disagree with the IG statement and why they propose that it was retconned, and that they are not arguing from sillence, because pretty much the entire marrative going forward after UI Daniel was introduced has portrayed UI Daniel's skill/techniques and experience as being > Gun, including by literally every single person that has ever fought Gun before and none of them ever tried comparing UI Daniel to Gun in any way shape or form, inverse they have never been directly compared, Gun has however been compared to weaker characters (not indicative of his power/skill but still) imo if everything else can be disregarded or explained away, the difference in them being copied (Johan and Daniel can casually copy Gun but need to break their body down to fight like UI Daniel for 10 seconds + UI Imperfect Daniel copying UI Perfect Daniel instead of Gun during HFW with Changsu commenting that Daniel is copying the strongest person he knows) can't be disregarded as that is the narratively pretty blatantly telling us that UI Daniel is a whole other beast compared to Gun

Also FYI, the statement that you posted as evidence of Kishin Seiken being Gun's strongest move does not call kishin seiken HIS strongest techique, he tells Daniel the strategy involves using his(Daniel's) strongest techique which is Kishin Seiken because Gun is stronger than all the kings (per his own words) all that tells us is that Kishin Seiken > kings but for all we know Gun might have more powerful techiques that he never felt the need to use



Also genuine question but even if we presume that kishin seiken IS his strongest techique and that Gun also knows CQC, given that Gun never uses CQC would he even count CQC when talking about his 'strongest techique'? Since its entierly possible he is talking about the techiques that he uses as a part of his arsenal and is not considering CQC as he only uses kyoshin karate, akido, yamazaki style kyoshin karate, normal karate, and his tonfa fighting style (occasionally)

Anyhow sorry for the long reply, but I wanted to be through, I really like talking to Pyro so I wanted to clairfy to you why he had that stance, sorry if its annoying QwQ

Please no mean to powerscaling cat™️ I try my best QwQ
 
Can someone summarize both sides of the argument on the 3x multiplier?
So basically, so far everyone agrees that OVT and Death Kick should have multipliers.

The only thing they don't agree on is the exact value of those multipliers. The majority believes OVT is 4x because it's stated to multiply power many times over, and Death Kick is at least 4x as well since it's portrayed as superior to that, with some arguing it's 5x. (You can find these in the agreement section.)

Now, the main hot topic is Kishin Seiken. While the majority agrees it's a 3x multiplier due to being above CQC (since it's stated to be the strongest attack in an arsenal that contains CQC), the disagreement comes from whether Gun actually knows CQC for that claim to work. That should be irrelevant now, though, since Daniel actively has CQC in his arsenal through his ability to copy it.

So yeah, that's pretty much it.

I think you're confusing combat ability with physical strength. When I refer to combat ability, I'm talking purely about fighting skill and technique because that's the only logical interpretation when comparing two characters with different physical attributes. If combat ability included raw strength, then comparing Gun and UI Daniel's combat ability wouldn't make much sense since Daniel's Perfect Body gives him superior physical stats by default.

The main differences between Gun and UI Daniel are Daniel's Copy ability and his Perfect Body. Those are innate advantages, not demonstrations of greater combat skill. Therefore, when the narrative compares their combat ability, it is referring to their proficiency in fighting, techniques, and overall martial skill rather than raw physical power.

The latter point is also irrelevant. Gun was teaching Daniel how to execute that strategy and even took the Kishin Seiken stance while demonstrating it. Later, Daniel, who has CQC through his Copy ability, used Kishin Seiken as his strongest technique. Since Daniel's arsenal includes CQC and Kishin Seiken is still presented as his strongest technique, the narrative establishes that Kishin Seiken is above CQC. Because Gun is the one who taught and demonstrated Kishin Seiken to Daniel, it is also consistently portrayed as Gun's strongest technique.

P1: If combat ability is being compared between characters with different physical strength, then the comparison refers to fighting skill and technique rather than raw power.

P2: Gun and UI Daniel have different physical strength because Daniel possesses the Perfect Body, yet the narrative compares their combat ability.

C: Therefore, the comparison refers to fighting skill and technique, not physical strength.

P1: If the strongest technique in a character's arsenal is above every other technique they possess, then it is superior to those techniques.

P2: Daniel possesses CQC through Copy, and Kishin Seiken is explicitly stated to be his strongest technique.

C: Therefore, Kishin Seiken is superior to CQC.
 
Can someone summarize both sides of the argument on the 3x multiplier?
Basically what's happening here there's a technique known as CQC, which is already accepted as a 3x AP boost and the main premise of the first part of the OP is that there's a charecter knows as Daniel part and the author of this thread and me have proven that Daniel knows CQC and can use that technique, which means he can theoretically attain a 3x multiplier if he uses that technique. Now that is NOT his strongest technique as it's stated to be a technique knows as Kishin Seiken, thus Kishin Seiken should be at least a 3x multiplier.

Now for the second premises. There's another technique known as feint and counter that's used by Jaegyeon Na and Yujae Seon, in which if someone attacks at them, they basically deflect their attack back at them but with output 'many' times higher. And since a mod once said that 'several' at least would mean 3x and 'many' would mean 4x, therefore feind and counter should be a 4x multiplier. This is consistent because pre awakened Jaegyeon basically got one shotted by Yujae when he used this technique as he took 4 times his own attack's output.

For the third one, Death Kick and Dead Hand. These are Jaegyeon Na and Yujae Seon's unique skill, which basically are their strongest attacks respectively. Basically their ult. Now these are clearly stated to be their strongest attack and strongest technique and beyond their previous limit and all that, so those should also be at least a 4x multiplier from their base stats. This is consistent as the Death Kick one shotted Yujae Seon after Yujae literally defeated Jaegyeon with ease and Yujae hadn't even taken much damage either so this should be consistent. What also should make it consistent is that Yujae tried to use feint and counter on Death Kick but it didn't worked and Death Kick overpowered Yujae's feint and counter so it should be at least a 4x multiplier over base.

And since Yujae and Jaegyeon and narratively shown to be rivals and are shown to have equal similar techniques so obviously Dead Hand which is stronger than Death Kick, therefore it should also be an at least 4x multipler.
 
Wait, since when did Daniel know/have/use CQC in his arsenal? He saw Warren use it once but even Johan had to take multiple tries to Copy Manager Kim’s CQC. We better not be using Big Unconcious Daniel as an example because that’s the same guy that knows fighting styles that Daniel hasn’t even seen yet.
 
@Pyro9278 Can you summarize our disagreements on the Kishen multiplier? I likely won’t be able to do a detailed response for a couple of hours

I am currently busy so I'll hopefully be able to reply later today, just writing this to let you know that I have seen and read it👍

Daniel has seen CQC 2 separate times and 1 of those times he saw the full fight

And Johan himself while having nerfed copy ability (due to near blindness) copied it mid might against MK

Should be consistent as harus card itself says "being able to copy something after seeing it once" And example of this being the case was CQC

Multiple? Literally 2 tries and in the first try MK himself said that he 'almost' copied it perfectly and that's just because he was half blind and MK has the most perfected CQC maybe after Woocheol Nam and has the highest number of stances, meanwhile Johan would've copied Warran's CQC easily. INFACT even Haru copied CQC just by seeing it once when Johan said 'ill only show you once' and it was copied also by seeing only once like how windyattack pointed it out.
 
Can someone summarize both sides of the argument on the 3x multiplier?
Here's a quick summary. The disagreemen of the 3x multiplier for Kishin Seiken because it rests entirely on an unproven chain: Gun's combat ability being "on par" with UI Daniel is a general skill-tier comparison, not evidence he shares UI Daniel's specific technique inventory, and the "knows/mastered all martial arts" lines are vague narrative statements with no on-screen demonstration as Gun has never shown, used, or taught CQC, nor has any of his disciples used it. Even granting he "knows" CQC, the source material distinguishes baseline CQC ("the most basic military martial art") from the upgraded, hundredfold-scaled version tied to having the 3x boost. I have kind of been mostly skimming through the rest of the arguments after page 2 started, but this is what I believe is the sum of the counter-argument.

This is such a bad faith representation of reasoning behind 3x multiplier

I've already debunked most of the counters by everyone and even aksh negged the other guy who was bringing this whole thing up (u can go and scroll again)

And this is irrelevant lmao since we have Daniel's new meta

Dude, they asked for a summary so I provided the summary of the opposing side. Nothing has been debunked yet so chill. Just let the staff look through it all and decide.

At least provide the full argument About Kishin Sekins 3x multiplier man

Because that's just nit picking imo

So my issue with this is that in HFBD when Johan is explaining to Jake that he can copy P Daniel for 10 seconds, he explains to Jake that P Daniel's TECHIQUES are tied to his perfect body

Img:

Direct quote from Johan:
"I've seen some of his moves and I can copy him to some extent but I can't perfectly replicate his fighting style. He uses techiques that can ONLY be completed by his perfect physique if I were to attempt his moves in my body I would be in incredible pain."

Also as for combat strenght we know UI P Daniel adjusts his stats to match his opponent, meaning that raw stats here should be irrelevant as he is always matching his opponent's strenght, meaning that if P UI Daniel beats you it's because he SKILL checked you rather than stat checked you

My issue with your premise of saying they have the same combat skill is that having a PERFECT body is a pre requisite and a requirement to be able to use P UI Daniel's techiques, Gun does not have a perfect body therefore by definition he CAN'T have the same techiques as P UI Daniel, my previous reply was specifically to outline that the IG comparison of their combat ability was outdated/retconned as the narrative itself never directly compares their combat ability as far as I can remember, and all the information we have points to P UI Daniel having both greater stats AND greater combat abbility

Also uh slightly awkward thing I haven't had the chance to mention but probably should, I've actually spend the last few weeks (since June) working on a CRT to remove the CQC multiplier as I realised that it breaks Queatism and it results in multipliers in the millions, I was just waiting for one of the 3 CRT slots to free up but then you made your CRT😭
I swear this is not intentional I can show you my posts from several weeks ago stating that I want to make a CRT, this is just really bad timing😭
Pyro actually sent me the link to this CRT in private messages since its directly tied to my CRT and suggested I have a look at it

I am not sure what the rules are in a situation like this so I am not sure if I am even allowed to be commenting on this CRT (should be fine I think?) if not I'll apologize and shut up lol

Btw cat could you DM/private message me where it was decided the distinction between base CQC and special CQC(3x mult) because I've read the original CQC CRT and I can't find where it was decided and its kind of relevant for a CRT I am planning to make so the more info the better

So before I begin my explanation I first wanted to apologize for being very condescending/aggresive a few days ago as I hadn't taken my meds and was running on 0 hours of sleep due to a heat wave during the night where I live so I was really out of it and ended up being overly aggresive, mean and condescending and also couldn't properly articulate myself

Ok with that out of the way, now on to my actual reply

Imgs:

Now you are correct that MK stated that Johan nearly succeeded on his first attempt, you are not including his full quote/context (to be clear I am not accusing you of being disenganeous or bad faith, I am just stating that the full quote adds additonal context)

"He surpised me a little but of course he ultimately failed. You CAN'T just copy CQC by watching someone else do it. The only reason Warren can use CQC is because I corrected his form with my unit's techiques, I aknoledge your genius but you can ONLY use CQC if you know ALL the stances."

The reason the full quote is important is because the partial quote implies that Johan would have been able to brute force copy CQC by attempting it 1 or 2 more times, while the full quote clarifies that unless Johan knew the stances all of his other attempts would have failed as well

This ties back into you saying it only took Johan 2 attempts, which technically yes? But again there is missing context here

Immediately after MK says as he starts exchanging blows with Johan he realizes that Johan has now switched to trying to copy CQC by copying his Individual stances instead of trying to copy the full thing all at once, which is why he was able to succeed on his 2nd attempt

When Johan uses it against Yuseong we see in his inner monologue he says
"Remember it. Recall it. Become your own master. Become your own student."

As we see panels of MK's various stances

Johan copied all of the components of CQC (the stances) and THEN copied the full CQC

As for Haru while Johan did say he was going to just show them the techique that doesn't actually tell us what he showed Haru, I think its both entirely possible and reasonable that Johan first showed Haru the individual stances/techiques and THEN showed them the full CQC, this wouldn't contradict anything Johan said as far I am aware

The reason I brought all of this up is to explain why imperfect Daniel does not have CQC in his arsenal despite having seen it twice, we are explicitly told that just seeing CQC is NOT enough you NEED to know all of the stances

I am aware Johan was half blind at the time however having his full sight wouldn't have somehow magically allowed him to see and copy the needed stances in order to perform CQC, same goes for Daniel

I think it was windy that brought up the fact that Daniel technically knew Kishin Seiken back in HFBD but didn't use it, therefore the same is true for CQC

However my issue with that is that for kishin seiken we know Daniel didn't use it because its highly conditional (can only be used if your opponent lets their guard down) whether as CQC is a general use techique (Warren literally spams it all the freaking time lol) so for Daniel to literally NEVER use it if he supposedly knew it especially given how powerful it is just makes no sense

Imo with everything the story has presented I think its reasonable to conclude that Daniel doesn't use CQC because he CAN'T

If CQC could be copied like any other normal move then the author wouldn't have gone out of their way to include MK's 2 statement (1. CQC can't be copied unless you know all the stances and 2. (Paraphrased) "Oh crap he's copying all of my stances!!!") and Johan's internal monologue coupled with panels showcasing MK's various stances

Last time we talked I couldn't properly articulate myself for which I apologize, so to be more clear I am not saying CQC is impossible to copy but rather that it can't be copied normally (see move -> perform move) because CQC is a composite move made up of multiple techiques so you need to copy the individual techiques first before you cam use the composite techique

In the case of Johan he was literally fighting John CQC himself manager Kim so he could see and copy all of MK's stances as MK himself realised which is why MK concluded that he NEEDED to end the fight as soon as possible.

In the case of Haru, they were being taught by Johan who had already succeeded in copying CQC so it makes sense they would have an easier time doing it, as they are being taught by someone who already did all the hard work for them lmao

In the case of Daniel he has seen Warren's use CQC in bursts but he hasn't seen the individual stances

IMO if Daniel knew CQC the story would have absolutely highlighted it and I don't think there is a good explanation for why Daniel actively chooses NOT to use it if he supposedly has it. So I agree with @CatLover313 here, and I don't think they are making an argument from sillence or being disenganeous
 
So my issue with this is that in HFBD when Johan is explaining to Jake that he can copy P Daniel for 10 seconds, he explains to Jake that P Daniel's TECHIQUES are tied to his perfect body

Img:

Direct quote from Johan:
"I've seen some of his moves and I can copy him to some extent but I can't perfectly replicate his fighting style. He uses techiques that can ONLY be completed by his perfect physique if I were to attempt his moves in my body I would be in incredible pain."

Also as for combat strenght we know UI P Daniel adjusts his stats to match his opponent, meaning that raw stats here should be irrelevant as he is always matching his opponent's strenght, meaning that if P UI Daniel beats you it's because he SKILL checked you rather than stat checked you

My issue with your premise of saying they have the same combat skill is that having a PERFECT body is a pre requisite and a requirement to be able to use P UI Daniel's techiques, Gun does not have a perfect body therefore by definition he CAN'T have the same techiques as P UI Daniel, my previous reply was specifically to outline that the IG comparison of their combat ability was outdated/retconned as the narrative itself never directly compares their combat ability as far as I can remember, and all the information we have points to P UI Daniel having both greater stats AND greater combat abbility

Also uh slightly awkward thing I haven't had the chance to mention but probably should, I've actually spend the last few weeks (since June) working on a CRT to remove the CQC multiplier as I realised that it breaks Queatism and it results in multipliers in the millions, I was just waiting for one of the 3 CRT slots to free up but then you made your CRT😭
I swear this is not intentional I can show you my posts from several weeks ago stating that I want to make a CRT, this is just really bad timing😭
Pyro actually sent me the link to this CRT in private messages since its directly tied to my CRT and suggested I have a look at it

I am not sure what the rules are in a situation like this so I am not sure if I am even allowed to be commenting on this CRT (should be fine I think?) if not I'll apologize and shut up lol
As expected from the Bad Faith Merchant, he returns with another flawed argument.

The entire basis of your argument is a misunderstanding of what Johan actually says.

Johan never claims that UI Daniel's techniques only apply to his perfect body. He points out that UI Daniel can perform these techniques fully because of his ideal physique. If Johan tried to do the same with his body, he would experience extreme pain.

The key detail here is what follows. Johan does not say, "I can't use those techniques because they require a perfect body." Instead, he clarifies that his body cannot handle performing them. The limitation lies in his physical capabilities, not in access to the techniques.

You're mixing up "my body cannot fully execute those movements" with "nobody without a perfect body can use those techniques." These are vastly different claims, and the latter is never said.

Your next point about combat ability actually supports my argument instead of yours.

You state that UI Daniel always adjusts his physical stats to match his opponent. If that's true, then physical stats are taken out of the equation, leaving combat ability itself as the main factor.

Combat ability is not just raw strength, speed, or durability. It combines martial arts mastery, technique, adaptability, battle IQ, timing, experience, and overall fighting skill.

If UI Daniel truly equalized his stats against Gun, why didn’t he simply outskill Gun with superior skill?

Instead, Gun matched him throughout the fight, extended the battle until sunrise, and was said to have the same combat ability.

This aligns perfectly with the narrative.

If both fighters have equalized physical stats and neither can decisively outskill the other, then it follows that their combat abilities are comparable. Otherwise, UI Daniel should have won just through skill, which did not occur.

Ironically, your interpretation supports this conclusion because you argue that UI Daniel negates the physical advantage every time he fights.

Regarding Johan's statement, nothing in it contradicts the comparison between Gun and UI Daniel’s combat abilities.

Johan merely states that having a perfect body allows UI Daniel to perform those techniques to their fullest because his body can handle the strain. This does not mean those techniques are exclusive to perfect bodies, nor does it prove that someone without a perfect body cannot have similar combat ability.

Lastly, your claim that the Instagram comparison has been altered isn't valid.

A retcon demands a direct contradiction between old and new information.

Johan explaining why a perfect body lets UI Daniel perform techniques more effectively does not conflict with the statement that Gun has the same combat ability.

These statements refer to two separate things: one deals with the body's physical abilities, while the other addresses combat ability.

So your conclusion does not logically follow from your premises.

P1: UI Daniel has a perfect body.

P2: Johan claims his own body cannot fully replicate UI Daniel's movements due to the strain.

C: Therefore, nobody without a perfect body can have comparable combat ability.

That conclusion is a non sequitur.

The premises only show that Johan's body cannot replicate UI Daniel's physical execution to the same degree. They do not prove that the techniques are exclusive to perfect bodies, nor do they show that Gun cannot have equal combat ability.

I've explained this difference in my previous response, but you either overlooked it or misrepresented it. At this point, that's exactly what I'd expect from someone arguing in bad faith.
 
Wait, since when did Daniel know/have/use CQC in his arsenal? He saw Warren use it once but even Johan had to take multiple tries to Copy Manager Kim’s CQC. We better not be using Big Unconcious Daniel as an example because that’s the same guy that knows fighting styles that Daniel hasn’t even seen yet.
Two metas has been used btw and one is currently being used while the other is just there for the consistency, which is the Gun one.

Daniel has seen CQC before and can use them too because he has copy skills on par with Johan.
 
So before I begin my explanation I first wanted to apologize for being very condescending/aggresive a few days ago as I hadn't taken my meds and was running on 0 hours of sleep due to a heat wave during the night where I live so I was really out of it and ended up being overly aggresive, mean and condescending and also couldn't properly articulate myself

Ok with that out of the way, now on to my actual reply

So I agree with @CatLover313 here, and I don't think they are making an argument from sillence or being disenganeous
Your argument actually supports my position more than it refutes it. 😂

P1: Manager Kim states that CQC cannot be copied unless someone knows all of the combat units/stances that make up CQC.

P2: CQC is simply the combination of those combat units/stances used together. Therefore, if someone has already seen all of the required stances, they satisfy Manager Kim's stated requirement.

P3: Daniel witnessed Warren use his combat units during the Minsik fight, and he has also seen Warren use CQC multiple times. Warren's CQC is merely a lesser version of Manager Kim's CQC, meaning the required combat units are fewer or at least no more complex than Manager Kim's.

P4: Manager Kim's understanding of Johan's copy ability was incomplete. He initially believed Johan had failed because simply watching CQC itself was insufficient. However, moments later Johan proved him wrong by copying all of Manager Kim's combat units and then performing CQC. This shows Manager Kim did not fully understand the extent or adaptability of Johan's copy ability.

P5: Johan accomplished this while he was nearly blind. Reduced vision inherently reduces one's ability to accurately perceive, memorize, and visualize movements. Despite that disadvantage, he was still able to identify and copy every necessary combat unit before combining them into CQC.

C1: Therefore, if a nearly blind Johan could perceive and copy every combat unit from Manager Kim's superior CQC, there is no reason to assume Daniel, who has already witnessed Warren's inferior CQC and his combat units, could not do the same.

Your claim that "Daniel hasn't seen the individual stances" is also unsupported. Manager Kim never said someone has to watch each stance in isolation. His statement is simply that you must know all of the stances. During the Minsik fight, Warren demonstrates his combat units throughout the fight, and CQC itself is literally those combat units chained together. If Daniel copied Warren's martial arts as he normally does, then he would necessarily copy those combat units as well.

The appeal to Daniel never using CQC is also not evidence that he cannot use it. That is an argument from silence. The series has repeatedly shown Daniel possessing techniques long before actually using them. Kishin Seiken is one example. The absence of usage does not prove the absence of knowledge.

Finally, your interpretation relies on assuming Daniel never copied Warren's combat units despite witnessing them. The manga never states that. On the contrary, your own premise is that CQC is nothing more than the combination of individual combat units. If Daniel has seen those combat units, then by Manager Kim's own condition, he fulfills the requirement to know CQC.
 
Also uh slightly awkward thing I haven't had the chance to mention but probably should, I've actually spend the last few weeks (since June) working on a CRT to remove the CQC multiplier as I realised that it breaks Queatism and it results in multipliers in the millions, I was just waiting for one of the 3 CRT slots to free up but then you made your CRT😭
I swear this is not intentional I can show you my posts from several weeks ago stating that I want to make a CRT, this is just really bad timing😭
Haru's CQC doens't get a multiplier fyi, I'll recommend u to check the CRT where the multiplier was accepted. The multiplier is only accepted for CQC with a unqie version, like Warren's, MK's, Taiki's, Jincheon, Woocheol etc. NOT Haru.

But it can be argued because Johan copied MK's CQC and Haru copied John's.

But again nothing there really breaks anything as i can literally show you stat increases of CQC when Haru uses it compared to other stat changes in Questism when a certain technique is used like Terabyte Low Kick or Lee Jihyoon's Jigen-Ryu, which increases stats more than Terabyte Low Kick that's a BLATENTLY STATED 3x multiplier.

I'll also explain in that crt regarding stat difference as i remember an instance where Awakened Cheonhak (had SS strength stat) tried to fight a member of some 4, i forgot the name but upon taking Cheonhak's hits, that dude who has SSR dura stat literally stated his hits feels weaker than mosquito bites, he was genuinely flabbergasted seeing how weak he was even after awakening.

Another instance is when Shooyun stacked Jigen Ryu multiplier which already should be at least a 3x due to scaling above terabyte low kick as it increased wayy more AP stats than that did and used Jigen-Ryu on zombie Jintae with Hajun's tech named overlord's return which literally makes an attack hit twice at the same time magically(basically a hax) even though you hit it just once, basically a hollogram or something like that hits twice. That'll make that thing a 6x multiplier over that version of Shooyun and 2x over anyone having MR stats.

For in order for me to make the crt I'll need to reread the whole Questism again but it'll be out soon tho as it has many powerscaling materials for the ptj verse but the only issue is that it doesn't had much good feats to objectively upscale from, so after my recent re-read i had many things in mind regarding a crt but i dropped it because of that reason.

I actually asked cat lover about it because I've checked the CQC CRT thread twice now and there is no distinction between normal CQC and special CQC, in the CRT thread CQC as a whole is discussed to give a 3x mult with Warren vs Minsk being cited as an example and pretty much everyone I've talked to treats normal CQC as a 3x fold increase which is why I got confused when cat lover said only special CQC was accepted as a 3x mult

We never actually got the the stat increase for terabyte low kick as the effect only applied when it landed because its not an active stat buff, Jingen Ryu is an active stat buff and is usually written inside the user's stat box and you can see little blue up arrows indicating a staff buff. I was going to bring up all of what you said in my CRT + this neither the time or place to discuss it, I only brought it up so that cloudy is informed of it because othereise it would look like I made my CRT in response to his which isn't the case as I've been arguing agast CQC being a 3x mult as far back as June

Bruh so we are both planning to make a CRT on the same topic but for different reasons?😭

How's that gonna work?😭

We did lol, it's an active stat buff and it happened when Yugyeom fought Jaeha's no 2 i think. I have panels and all for all of it saved so I'll make sure I'll show them in the crt.

As expected from the Bad Faith Merchant, he returns with another flawed argument.
Dawg it has not even been a full day since you had a moderator outright tell you to chill out on the bad faith accusations😭🥀
Atp are you trying to rage bait me or something lmao
The entire basis of your argument is a misunderstanding of what Johan actually says.

Johan never claims that UI Daniel's techniques only apply to his perfect body. He points out that UI Daniel can perform these techniques fully because of his ideal physique. If Johan tried to do the same with his body, he would experience extreme pain.

The key detail here is what follows. Johan does not say, "I can't use those techniques because they require a perfect body." Instead, he clarifies that his body cannot handle performing them. The limitation lies in his physical capabilities, not in access to the techniques.

You're mixing up "my body cannot fully execute those movements" with "nobody without a perfect body can use those techniques." These are vastly different claims, and the latter is never said.
Johan's wording is that Daniel uses techiques that can ONLY be COMPLETED with a perfect physique and that even ATTEMPTING TO to perfom them WITHOUT a perfect physique would put him in extreme pain, he NEVER says ANYTHING about physical attributes or stats while talking to Jake, and physical attributes have never been mentioned when character talk about UI Daniel, only his physique being perfect, his experience being perfect and him having mastered all martial arts, it's always about techique or skill, or how his physique is supernaturally perfect.
Also a physique does NOT mean JUST physical capabilities(stats) but also the shape and size of their body, muscles, bones, frame, muscle elasticity, shoulder span etc. Johan's physical capabilities are not the only factor here and claiming otherwise is misunderstanding Johan's words which is what you are accusing me off.

Imgs:

Also all of what you said literally supports my point bruh

If even ATTEMPTING to perfom UI Daniel's moves causes immense pain, which lead Johan to conclude that the only way to copy UI P Daniel is by literally firing up his muscles and nerves to mimick UI P Daniel's physique so he can he use his moves and even THEN he can ONLY fight like UI P Daniel FOR 10 SECONDS. Then that again by definition means that having a perfect body/physique is a prerequisite AND a requirement to performing the same moves and techiques as otherwise you won't be able to sustain fighting like that due to the immense pain from using said moves without the proper physique.

Which again brings me back to the fact that Johan and Daniel can copy gun and his techiques no problem with no strain to their body, yet both of them had to break their bodies down in order to temporarily fight like UI P Daniel

Trying to boil down the difference between Gun and UI Daniel as just a physical capabilities(stats) difference is completely ignoring UI Daniel's narratively

I really dislike this power scaler mentality of boiling down absolutely everything to stats and numbers at the expense of media literacy, to the point where UI Daniel's whole shtick is being boiled down to him just hitting harder😭

Your next point about combat ability actually supports my argument instead of yours.

You state that UI Daniel always adjusts his physical stats to match his opponent. If that's true, then physical stats are taken out of the equation, leaving combat ability itself as the main factor.

Combat ability is not just raw strength, speed, or durability. It combines martial arts mastery, technique, adaptability, battle IQ, timing, experience, and overall fighting skill.

If UI Daniel truly equalized his stats against Gun, why didn’t he simply outskill Gun with superior skill?
Why are you wording it as a question? That's literally what happened bruh
By the time Daniel regained consciousness he was on top of Gun and had broken Gun's arm

Not to mention that Gun is an endurance based tank AND a sadomasochistic battle maniac, Gun being able to fight Daniel till sunrise is a stamina and endurance feat not a skill feat, especially since the fight happened off screen and UI P Daniel fights every person diffrently

i also already outlined in a previous comment how Gun's fighting style and being an endurance tank and a sadomasochist + having UI helped him fare better against UI Daniel compared to most people, UI Daniel can't create distance between them via punishment (Google an explanation of how professional fighters measure distance and punish their opponents with jabs to keep them from getting too close) AND his endurance means Gun can last for quite a well, however based on the aftermath to conclude that it was an even match is again disenganeous given fhat from what little we do see Gun was getting ragdolled for most of the fight and was only able to land hits by taking hits in exchange (as I outlined above and in my prior post Gun's fighting style somewhat counters UI Daniel's fighting style)
Instead, Gun matched him throughout the fight, extended the battle until sunrise, and was said to have the same combat ability.

This aligns perfectly with the narrative.

If both fighters have equalized physical stats and neither can decisively outskill the other, then it follows that their combat abilities are comparable. Otherwise, UI Daniel should have won just through skill, which did not occur.

Ironically, your interpretation supports this conclusion because you argue that UI Daniel negates the physical advantage every time he fights.
Again Daniel DID win he broke Gun's arm and was on top of him. Their fight got interrupted because Daniel regained unconsciousness had the fight continued UI Daniel would have won as we saw in HFG even if YUI Gun came out it wouldn't have changed anything lol
Regarding Johan's statement, nothing in it contradicts the comparison between Gun and UI Daniel’s combat abilities.

Johan merely states that having a perfect body allows UI Daniel to perform those techniques to their fullest because his body can handle the strain. This does not mean those techniques are exclusive to perfect bodies, nor does it prove that someone without a perfect body cannot have similar combat ability.
I'll repeat again if the ONLY way to perfom said techiques is to have a perfect physique so your body can 'handle the strain' like you said and that even ATTEMPTING to perfom said techiques causes immense pain otherwise then by definition means they are exclusive to someone with a perfect body.

There is no proof that Johan can perfom these techiques normally, the only statement we have is that Johan even attempting to perfom them would cause him immense pain, and there is even LESS proof that Johan was reffering to physical capabilities.

How would the UI Daniel Johan fought in 3A even have GREATER physical capabilities than Johan in the first place given that we KNOW that UI Daniel adjusts his stats to match his opponent? Johan copying UI Daniel for his stats rather than his techiques would go against both narrative AND THE WHOLE POINT OF UI DANIEL'S CHARACTER

He is described as fighting like a machine that gives perfect responses ans counters to every move, to the point where literally the only way for Gun to beat him was to exploit that.
Lastly, your claim that the Instagram comparison has been altered isn't valid.

A retcon demands a direct contradiction between old and new information.

Johan explaining why a perfect body lets UI Daniel perform techniques more effectively does not conflict with the statement that Gun has the same combat ability.

These statements refer to two separate things: one deals with the body's physical abilities, while the other addresses combat ability.
Again you NEVER proved or provided ANY evidence that Johan being unable to fully copy UI Daniel's fighting style due to lacking a perfect physique is due to lacking physical abbilities or that having a perfect physique just makes the techiques more effective

You've just been making baseless assetions that it has to do with their physical capabilities stats when Johan never even mentions physical capabilities or effectiveness in his comsversation with Jake, what he says instead is that the ONLY way to COMPLETE(as in perform) those techiques is by having a perfect physique and that even attempting to do so otherwise will cause immense pain

UI P Daniel's combat abbility is inherently tied to his techiques that are tied to his perfect physique

Also AGAIN Gun and Daniel's combat abbility has NEVER been directly compared by ANYONE in lookism INCLUDING LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT HAS EVER FOUGHT GUN AND INCLUDING GUN HIMSELF

You would think that if Gun had the same combat abbility as UI Daniel he would comment on that but instead the only comments we get is Gun stating TWICE that he is SCARED, and given that we KNOW UI Daniel adjusts his stats (which comes from Gun himself btw) the only logical conclusion we can reach is that Gun felt scared because of UI Daniel's absurd skill level and techique
So your conclusion does not logically follow from your premises.

P1: UI Daniel has a perfect body.

P2: Johan claims his own body cannot fully replicate UI Daniel's movements due to the strain.

C: Therefore, nobody without a perfect body can have comparable combat ability.

That conclusion is a non sequitur.

The premises only show that Johan's body cannot replicate UI Daniel's physical execution to the same degree. They do not prove that the techniques are exclusive to perfect bodies, nor do they show that Gun cannot have equal combat ability.
Again you are yet to prove that Johan was reffering to physical execution/effectiveness when he explained to Jake why he can't copy UI Daniel under normal circumstances

I've explained this difference in my previous response, but you either overlooked it or misrepresented it. At this point, that's exactly what I'd expect from someone arguing in bad faith.
Again more baseless bad faith accusations

If I am open to debate I am bad faith if I am not open to debate I am stubborn this is literally a catch 22

Also I don't think you actually know what bad faith means bru

Bad faith ≠ disagreeing with you

Bad faith means I am arguing disenganeously or trying to push an agenda if I overlooked or misinterpreted anything you said that would be due to me misunderstanding you not bad faith
 
Your argument actually supports my position more than it refutes it. 😂

P1: Manager Kim states that CQC cannot be copied unless someone knows all of the combat units/stances that make up CQC.

P2: CQC is simply the combination of those combat units/stances used together. Therefore, if someone has already seen all of the required stances, they satisfy Manager Kim's stated requirement.

P3: Daniel witnessed Warren use his combat units during the Minsik fight, and he has also seen Warren use CQC multiple times. Warren's CQC is merely a lesser version of Manager Kim's CQC, meaning the required combat units are fewer or at least no more complex than Manager Kim's.
P3 is entierly based on unsubstantiated assumptions/assertions that you are yet to actually prove

What Daniel witnessed is Warren use the composite version of CQC rather than the individual components(stances) Daniel has seen the techique NOT the stances therfore he does not satisfy propostion 2

As I outlined MK explained that you cannot copy the composite CQC techique (the burst move) without knowing the individual moves(stances) that make up the techique.

Johan was able to copy CQC on his 2nd attempt because he started copying MK's individual stances while fighting him and THEN combined them and copied CQC itself

Daniel has only ever seen Warren perfom the burst move composite techique (CQC) rather than the individual stances

Also you have failed to substantiate or prove why Warren's CQC is inferior or contains less stances compared to MK's, that's a baseless assertion

If I remember correctly MK outright states in 2A that he has taught Warren ALL of his units stances (which is what you need to know in order to perfom CQC), CQC's range/number of circles is more likely an indicator of an individual's speed and the quality of their techique rather than the quanity of their techiques

And even if it were as I said Daniel does NOT satisfy P2 as MK outlined that you CAN'T copy CQC by seeing someone perfom the composite burst move techique you need to see them use the individual stances first and copy all of them which Daniel as far as we are aware has NOT seen
P4: Manager Kim's understanding of Johan's copy ability was incomplete. He initially believed Johan had failed because simply watching CQC itself was insufficient. However, moments later Johan proved him wrong by copying all of Manager Kim's combat units and then performing CQC. This shows Manager Kim did not fully understand the extent or adaptability of Johan's copy ability.
P4 is also wrong. Johan's actions fall in line with and support MK's statement, Johan failed to copy CQC by simply observing MK perform it, he had to copy it in smaller chunks by copying MK's individual stances while fighting him in order to fully copy CQC which satisfies your P2 propstion, Johan copied the individual stances which MK outlined as the requirement and then copied CQC as a result, MK did in fact understand the extent of Johan's copy ability. MK was surpised because he did not consider the possibility of Johan copying the individual stances one at a time and THEN copying CQC
P5: Johan accomplished this while he was nearly blind. Reduced vision inherently reduces one's ability to accurately perceive, memorize, and visualize movements. Despite that disadvantage, he was still able to identify and copy every necessary combat unit before combining them into CQC.
Ok? At best that would just effect the speed and quality of his abbility to copy, but it doesn't prove that he would somehow have a higher chance of brute force copying MK's composite CQC instead of copying the individual stances
C1: Therefore, if a nearly blind Johan could perceive and copy every combat unit from Manager Kim's superior CQC, there is no reason to assume Daniel, who has already witnessed Warren's inferior CQC and his combat units, could not do the same.
I already outlined in this post and my previous post why this is both a flawed and an unsubstantiated conclusion that relies on unsubstantiated baseless assertions that you are yet to prove
Your claim that "Daniel hasn't seen the individual stances" is also unsupported. Manager Kim never said someone has to watch each stance in isolation. His statement is simply that you must know all of the stances. During the Minsik fight, Warren demonstrates his combat units throughout the fight, and CQC itself is literally those combat units chained together. If Daniel copied Warren's martial arts as he normally does, then he would necessarily copy those combat units as well.
Warren's normal martial art is jeet kune do, when he uses his composite CQC that's him using the military martial arts, it isn't until 1A that Warren fused both together and got his own signature CQC (all stated by MK)

Also my claim IS supported because we literally SEE Johan start to copy MK's individual stances in isolation and MK literally comments on that lol

"He is trying to copy my CQC techiques by observing ALL of my stances?!"

As we see a back and fourth of MK using a stance and Johan copying it

MK can't use 2 stances simultaneously since he is not omnipresent so by literal definition Johan is copying MK's stanes individually in a vaccum (to clairfy what I mean by MK can't use 2 stances simultaneously, I am not reffering to him chaining them which is what CQC is I am reffering to him somehow performing 2 moves at once, since you can't both jab and hook someone with your left fist at the same time as that would require your fist to be in 2 places at once simultaneously)
The appeal to Daniel never using CQC is also not evidence that he cannot use it. That is an argument from silence. The series has repeatedly shown Daniel possessing techniques long before actually using them. Kishin Seiken is one example. The absence of usage does not prove the absence of knowledge.
I already outlined that Daniel not using kishin seiken makes sense as the move is highly conditional and can only be used if certain criteria are met, Daniel simply never had the opportunity to use kishin seiken before

Also an argument from sillence is only fallacious if there is a clear provable reason why the author decided to omit Daniel using CQC which he supposedly knows which YOU have NOT outlined

You can't simply keep spamming 'argument from sillence' as a get out of jail free card whenever people call out the fact that what you are arguing for has never been stated, implied, shown, or explained.

This would also count as a fallacy fallacy, which is essentially the claim that a point is wrong because a fallacy was comitted, if I said 'the sky is blue because you are an idiot' that would be an ad hominem because I attacked your character instead of proving my claim, HOWEVER despite my usage of a fallacy my claim IS still in fact true, the sky is in fact blue.

You keep spamming "argument from sillence" and "absence of proof is not proof of absence" as a get out jail free card, without ever addressing WHY there is an absence of proof in the first place

You have failed to address WHY despite Daniel supposedly knowing CQC, we have 0 statements of him using CQC, 0 portrayals of his using CQC, 0 implications or explanations that Daniel knows CQC

The reason your 'argument from sillence' does NOT apply here is because there is no logical explanation for the absence of Daniel using CQC despite there being dozens of scenarios in which Daniel using CQC would have made perfectly valid sense

And don't bring up 'but Daniel had Kishin Seiken in HFBD and he didn't use it!' because the story gave us actual retroactive narrative justification as to why there was an absence of proof prior to Daniel's first use of kishin seiken, because its a conditional move that Daniel can only use under very specific circumstances

CQC is NOT a conditional move that can only be used under certain circumstances, Warren spams it all the god damm time under every circumstance

Drop the debate-bro act, stop spamming fallacies and actually stop and think for a second, just because there is no 'proof of absence' does NOT mean that there is NO absence or that you don't have to address WHY there is a 'absence of proof' for your claim ESPECIALLY when it LOGICALLY contradicts the story's narrative

You're essentially claiming that Daniel KNOWS CQC but chose to and continues to choose, to NEVER use, it including dozens of situations where using it would logically make sense and where NOT using it would be a logical contraction, without actually justifying WHY Daniel WOULDN'T use it if he supposedly knew it

You are also claiming that Daniel KNOWS CQC but for some reason the author chose to NEVER tell or show or hint or portray or explain to us that Daniel knows CQC despite the fact that Daniel knowing CQC would be a pretty big deal, without again justifying why the author would chose to NEVER show or tell us that Daniel knows CQC

Spamming 'but argument from sillence!' is NOT some be all end all proof you need to still actually substantiate your claims in a way that makes sense within the confines of the narrative. If Daniel knows CQC but has chosen to never use it you need to provide an actual satisfying explanation as to WHY he has chosen to NEVER use it under any circumstances including life or death fights where his life and the lives of his loved ones are on the line.

And finally this would also fall under under Rusell's teapot, being unable to concretely disprove Daniel having CQC due to lack of proof of absence does NOT mean the claim is true

A claim is NOT true simply because it can't be disproven

I can just as easily say Daniel doesn't have CQC because PTJ told me in a super secret interview between me and him and then spam 'but there is no proof of absence!' because you have no way to prove that it DIDN'T happen but you don't NEED to prove it didn't happen because I haven't actually substantiated the claim

ALL of this applies to your argument of Gun knowing CQC as well which is what cat and Pyro have been trying to tell you
Finally, your interpretation relies on assuming Daniel never copied Warren's combat units despite witnessing them. The manga never states that. On the contrary, your own premise is that CQC is nothing more than the combination of individual combat units. If Daniel has seen those combat units, then by Manager Kim's own condition, he fulfills the requirement to know CQC.
Lookism also never states that Daniel HAS copied Warren's combat units stances that's just another Russell's teapot you keep asserting as a fact while spamming 'argument from sillence' simply because there is no proof of the contratory

And I already explained up above that seeing the composite move and seeing the individual stances is different and that Daniel has only seen Warren perform the composite burst version which MK explained CAN'T simply be copied ans thus Daniel does not fufill your P2

If you're gonna aggressively 'debate bro' me while simultaneously constantly accusing me of bad faith arguing, at least learn how to actually debate😭

Idk if anyone has ever told you this

But if you have to rely on spamming fallacies while having an overly aggresive and accustory debating style that just means you aren't skilled at debating, because a good debater doesn't need to rely on fallacies
 
P3 is entierly based on unsubstantiated assumptions/assertions that you are yet to actually prove
I LITERALLY showed u that itself and he has no burden after this assertion that makes his position unjustified.
What Daniel witnessed is Warren use the composite version of CQC rather than the individual components(stances) Daniel has seen the techique NOT the stances therfore he does not satisfy propostion 2

As I outlined MK explained that you cannot copy the composite CQC techique (the burst move) without knowing the individual moves(stances) that make up the techique.

Johan was able to copy CQC on his 2nd attempt because he started copying MK's individual stances while fighting him and THEN combined them and copied CQC itself

Daniel has only ever seen Warren perfom the burst move composite techique (CQC) rather than the individual stances
Almost copies CQC perfectly in the first try after seeing it once and MK never showed him stance one by one, he was attacking by using composite CQC nly that took multiple attempts. That also was because Johan was half blind and MK had the most perfected CQC + UI Daniel copied CQC perfectly and better in the first try and Lil Daniel has copy on par with his big body as UI Daniel was never shown to have improved copy skills from his base.
If I remember correctly MK outright states in 2A that he has taught Warren ALL of his units stances (which is what you need to know in order to perfom CQC), CQC's range/number of circles is more likely an indicator of an individual's speed and the quality of their techique rather than the quanity of their techiques
Proof? And also, if i remember properly uhh... Daniel saw Warren's CQC another time too.

Prove that MK had knowledge about copy skills of that level or he has ever met someone with copy skills on par with Johan.

? How this applies to his argument. Also if there's no proof of absense or negation then that means there's no absense and negation iff there's evidence of presence...elite debate knowledge, lol.
 
Also Windyattack...lock in with the debate and drop the bad faith allegations.

You literally debate outerku, my guy (not like i disagree), but you shouldn't be talking about bad faith.
 
I LITERALLY showed u that itself and he has no burden after this assertion that makes his position unjustified.
If you're reffering to 2A I already explained that MK stated that seeing the burst composite techique and the individual stances is NOT the same thing

also I know this is really tedious and annoying but please cite whatever you are talking about because you are replying to my reply to cloudy's reply to my message

we are reaching college thesis levels of length with these replies and I am seriously starting to lose track of who said what😭🙏
Almost copies CQC perfectly in the first try after seeing it once and MK never showed him stance one by one, he was attacking by using composite CQC nly that took multiple attempts.

Wait huh wha since when does MK have UI???😭

Also based on MK statement there is no indication that Johan's future attempts would be any more successful just because his first attempt was decent

If what you are saying WAS the case and Johan would have succeeded in brute force copying MK's CQC on his second or third attempt WITHOUT copying MK's stances then Johan wouldn't have bothered with copying MK's stances one by one in the first place and would have immediately tried again, the fact that he didn't and instead went out of his way to copy MK's stances and ONLY THEN try again and MK directly commented that Johan was doing this so he can copy his CQC, and in Johan's inner thoughts we see him trying to remember MK's various stances while stating "remember it. Recall it. Correct your stance." gives weight to the argument that even with better eyesight Johan would not have been able to brute force copy MK's CQC and would still need to copy MK's stances individually. Also in case you try to argue that Johan decided to copy the stances instead of the composite techique because he was blind, trying to copy the stances wouldn't make him any less blind💀
Proof? And also, if i remember properly uhh... Daniel saw Warren's CQC another time too.
Ik I am saying that he has never seen Warren use individual CQC stances, gimme a sec to find and upload the image

Workers 2A ch 380
Direct quote from MK:
"Warren I've placed EVERYTHING from our unit into your newly adjusted body."

MK lying is not possible since this is MK talking to himself in his head (inner monologue) while looking at a picture of him and Warren

Plus MK has no reason to lie here

So yeah Warren's CQC being inferior is not just unsubstantiated its provebably false💀

He has presumably been working with Johan at WTJC for at least a few weeks/months by now

He has seen Johan's fight against Taehun, as well as Johan and Taehun against knock of Tom Lee (in MK)

Also why do I need to? Johan's own actions and inner thoughts/monologue support MK's words. If what you said was true Johan wouldn't have bothered trying to copy MK's stances (which wouldn't you know is what MK stated you need to know in order to use CQC) instead he would have just tried brute forcing it again (since you are arguing that Johan nearly succeeded first try then surely he would have no issue just trying a second time and copying it perfectly, right? But he didn't. Because he couldn't do it that way) mind you Johan is in a time sensitive situation and cannot afford to waste time, so if brute force copying CQC WAS faster/easier than copying each stance individually he would have absolutely done so instead of wasting time doing something he supposedly has no reason to be doing according to you, since if copying the individual stances is not necessary and Johan nearly succeeded anyway on his first try, then I don't see why he wouldn't just try again instead of wasting time exchanging blows with MK trying to cope his individual stances one at a time.
? How this applies to his argument. Also if there's no proof of absense or negation then that means there's no absense and negation iff there's evidence of presence...elite debate knowledge, lol.
Cloudy keeps using argument from sillence stating that there being no proof of Daniel having CQC does not mean that Daniel doesn't have CQC

However Cloudy hasn't addressed WHY the lack of proof doesn't mean that Daniel doesn't have CQC


An argument from sillence is only fallacious if you can point to a valid reason as to why the author deliberately chose to omit the fact

In this cloudy would need to explain why PTJ deliberately chose to omit Daniel having CQC despite it being relevant in multiple situations as otherwise that would create logical inconsistencies

To explain it in simple terms

1) Claim: Daniel has X

2) Daniel was in situation A where he could have used X AND using X would have made sense

3) Daniel chose not to use X in situation A, even though he has no reason not to use X and it would make sense for him to use X

4) This is a logical inconsistency

The same applies to the way PTJ wrote the narrative under this assumption

1) PTJ the author decides that Daniel has CQC from 2A onwards

2) PTJ decides to NEVER state or show that Daniel has CQC, to NEVER foreshadow or imply that Daniel has CQC even though he has literally 0 reason NOT to, and there is literally no point in giving Daniel CQC if Daniel is never going to use it in the story and its never going to be relevant to the plot or brought up in any way shape or form.

Atp you might as well just say Daniel has super sayian too but he just chose to never use it because.. reasons💀

The point I am trying to make is that citing argument from sillence is not proof that Daniel actually has CQC, all it does is establish that Daniel COULD theoretically have CQC

However because we have an absence of proof both for AND against Daniel having CQC (no statement that he does or doesn't know CQC) it turns into Russell's teapot because atp its just "Daniel has CQC because you can't prove that he doesn't!"

And as I said argument from sillence is ONLY a fallacy when you can point to a valid reason WHY the author in this case PTJ would deliberately choose to omit the fact that Daniel has CQC and why it has LITERALLY NEVER BEEN RELAVANT INCLUDING IN SITUATIONS WHERE IT VERY MUCH WOULD BE RELEVANT LIKE HIS MULTIPLE LIFE OR DEATH FIGHTS WHERE DANIEL HAS NO REASON NOT TO USE A BURST MOVE THAT SUPPOSEDLY MULTIPLIES ALL OF HIS STATS 3X😭

Also trying to argue that Daniel doesn't use CQC because kishin seiken is stronger than CQC would turn this into a circular argument since it would then become
"Kishin Seiken is stronger than CQC because Daniel has CQC but he uses kishin seiken as his strongest move"
"If Daniel has CQC why has he never used it before?"
"Because kishin seiken is stronger than CQC"
"And why is it stronger than CQC?"
"Because Daniel has CQC but he uses kishin seiken as his strongest move"

Anyhow I am really tired now I am gonna go binge Witch Hat Alteir I am gonna check up on this thread tomorrow
 
At least provide the full argument About Kishin Sekins 3x multiplier man

Because that's just nit picking imo
You and Aksh about 3-4 comments above mine already summarized yall args and points so I didn't see why I'd reiterate the same thing instead of just summarizing the opposing side claim. The staff can just look through all 3 of our summarizations, especially since you two are before mine so he'd likely read yours first, really not a big deal....
 
Dawg it has not even been a full day since you had a moderator outright tell you to chill out on the bad faith accusations😭🥀
Atp are you trying to rage bait me or something lmao

Johan's wording is that Daniel uses techiques that can ONLY be COMPLETED with a perfect physique and that even ATTEMPTING TO to perfom them WITHOUT a perfect physique would put him in extreme pain, he NEVER says ANYTHING about physical attributes or stats while talking to Jake, and physical attributes have never been mentioned when character talk about UI Daniel, only his physique being perfect, his experience being perfect and him having mastered all martial arts, it's always about techique or skill, or how his physique is supernaturally perfect.
Also a physique does NOT mean JUST physical capabilities(stats) but also the shape and size of their body, muscles, bones, frame, muscle elasticity, shoulder span etc. Johan's physical capabilities are not the only factor here and claiming otherwise is misunderstanding Johan's words which is what you are accusing me off.

Imgs:

Also all of what you said literally supports my point bruh

If even ATTEMPTING to perfom UI Daniel's moves causes immense pain, which lead Johan to conclude that the only way to copy UI P Daniel is by literally firing up his muscles and nerves to mimick UI P Daniel's physique so he can he use his moves and even THEN he can ONLY fight like UI P Daniel FOR 10 SECONDS. Then that again by definition means that having a perfect body/physique is a prerequisite AND a requirement to performing the same moves and techiques as otherwise you won't be able to sustain fighting like that due to the immense pain from using said moves without the proper physique.

Which again brings me back to the fact that Johan and Daniel can copy gun and his techiques no problem with no strain to their body, yet both of them had to break their bodies down in order to temporarily fight like UI P Daniel

Trying to boil down the difference between Gun and UI Daniel as just a physical capabilities(stats) difference is completely ignoring UI Daniel's narratively

I really dislike this power scaler mentality of boiling down absolutely everything to stats and numbers at the expense of media literacy, to the point where UI Daniel's whole shtick is being boiled down to him just hitting harder😭


Why are you wording it as a question? That's literally what happened bruh
By the time Daniel regained consciousness he was on top of Gun and had broken Gun's arm

Not to mention that Gun is an endurance based tank AND a sadomasochistic battle maniac, Gun being able to fight Daniel till sunrise is a stamina and endurance feat not a skill feat, especially since the fight happened off screen and UI P Daniel fights every person diffrently

i also already outlined in a previous comment how Gun's fighting style and being an endurance tank and a sadomasochist + having UI helped him fare better against UI Daniel compared to most people, UI Daniel can't create distance between them via punishment (Google an explanation of how professional fighters measure distance and punish their opponents with jabs to keep them from getting too close) AND his endurance means Gun can last for quite a well, however based on the aftermath to conclude that it was an even match is again disenganeous given fhat from what little we do see Gun was getting ragdolled for most of the fight and was only able to land hits by taking hits in exchange (as I outlined above and in my prior post Gun's fighting style somewhat counters UI Daniel's fighting style)

Again Daniel DID win he broke Gun's arm and was on top of him. Their fight got interrupted because Daniel regained unconsciousness had the fight continued UI Daniel would have won as we saw in HFG even if YUI Gun came out it wouldn't have changed anything lol

I'll repeat again if the ONLY way to perfom said techiques is to have a perfect physique so your body can 'handle the strain' like you said and that even ATTEMPTING to perfom said techiques causes immense pain otherwise then by definition means they are exclusive to someone with a perfect body.

There is no proof that Johan can perfom these techiques normally, the only statement we have is that Johan even attempting to perfom them would cause him immense pain, and there is even LESS proof that Johan was reffering to physical capabilities.

How would the UI Daniel Johan fought in 3A even have GREATER physical capabilities than Johan in the first place given that we KNOW that UI Daniel adjusts his stats to match his opponent? Johan copying UI Daniel for his stats rather than his techiques would go against both narrative AND THE WHOLE POINT OF UI DANIEL'S CHARACTER

He is described as fighting like a machine that gives perfect responses ans counters to every move, to the point where literally the only way for Gun to beat him was to exploit that.

Again you NEVER proved or provided ANY evidence that Johan being unable to fully copy UI Daniel's fighting style due to lacking a perfect physique is due to lacking physical abbilities or that having a perfect physique just makes the techiques more effective

You've just been making baseless assetions that it has to do with their physical capabilities stats when Johan never even mentions physical capabilities or effectiveness in his comsversation with Jake, what he says instead is that the ONLY way to COMPLETE(as in perform) those techiques is by having a perfect physique and that even attempting to do so otherwise will cause immense pain

UI P Daniel's combat abbility is inherently tied to his techiques that are tied to his perfect physique

Also AGAIN Gun and Daniel's combat abbility has NEVER been directly compared by ANYONE in lookism INCLUDING LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT HAS EVER FOUGHT GUN AND INCLUDING GUN HIMSELF

You would think that if Gun had the same combat abbility as UI Daniel he would comment on that but instead the only comments we get is Gun stating TWICE that he is SCARED, and given that we KNOW UI Daniel adjusts his stats (which comes from Gun himself btw) the only logical conclusion we can reach is that Gun felt scared because of UI Daniel's absurd skill level and techique

Again you are yet to prove that Johan was reffering to physical execution/effectiveness when he explained to Jake why he can't copy UI Daniel under normal circumstances


Again more baseless bad faith accusations

If I am open to debate I am bad faith if I am not open to debate I am stubborn this is literally a catch 22

Also I don't think you actually know what bad faith means bru

Bad faith ≠ disagreeing with you

Bad faith means I am arguing disenganeously or trying to push an agenda if I overlooked or misinterpreted anything you said that would be due to me misunderstanding you not bad faith
Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have the power-scaling cat, for the third time, failing to understand why interpreting a statement correctly is a core part of analysis. I don't think you've ever heard of Grice's Razor, but let me explain it.

Grice's Razor says you should interpret a statement based on the speaker's intended meaning instead of forcing extra implications that aren't there.

Here, Johan's statement simply means that UI Daniel performs techniques perfectly because of his Perfect Body. So, to replicate the execution of his techniques at the same level, you'd also need a comparable physique. That doesn't mean nobody can perfectly copy his martial arts. We already have characters like James Lee using the same techniques.

More importantly, this has nothing to do with combat ability. As I already proved earlier, the context of that Instagram post wasn't talking about physical stats at all. It was talking about skill level and fighting prowess. You're conflating physique with combat ability even though they're two completely different things.
