According to Yuji and Baki, it can. Yujiro was going to 0.5 Baki's 0.5 and vice versa, until Yujiro likely won

No that's after the Pocket Hand clash. 0.5 battle to Pocket Hand battle to "Ill count to 5"Ciruno Fortes said:If you're talking about the scene where Ogre blitzes the hell out of Baki after counting down to 5, it means nothing more than their speed being close.

And that would simply be the use of "Death of the Author" on claiming that Yujiro is faster in that case.
Yeah, the author totally thinks someone with 0.5s reaction time can dodge lighting and do the 0.0001s feat. He's just that dumb.Ciruno Fortes said:claiming it's not 0.5 seconds BECAUSE of the given speed feats we have through calcs. Calcs that the author would not know of. Calcs that should be second to what the author actually says when it doesn't contradict too much or is an outlier
Yeah it's what i proposed hereKGiffoni said:Can't we all just accept the fact that the author had no idea what he was doing while writing this ability as a whole and just ignore its existence
Amlad's thoughtsAmlad22 said:I've made my points on this before. But my main point is that with verse equalization being a thing that allows matches from some of our favourite verses like Bleach, Naruto, etc to be possible without being stomps, Baki shouldn't be a verse that is for some reason exempt from verse equalization.
Speed literally means nothing against 0.5 as well. If you can stop Baki before he activates the move, then it can be stopped. But even if you are 1000x faster, and you let Baki/Yujiro start the 0.5, you literally become unable to react or move for those 0.5 seconds. Speed means little to nothing once the move has been activated. The big example of this is of course how Base Baki used 0.5 on Yujiro despite the latter being able to blitz Baki multiple times casually.
KGiffoni said:It's only called 0.5s unconscious because that's the original name Oliva gave it in relation to how it's explained on Tor N├©rretrander's book, a book made and readed by regular people, with regular reaction speeds.
It can easily be spammed according to the battle between Baki and Yujiro, it's just that it's like any other move, in that it's effectiveness dwindles with repeated use. It starts getting predictable. Hell, it only took Yujiro 2 tries to predict it and counter it with his ownCiruno Fortes said:Yeah. I agree. In the case of equalization. But not anything else without equalization.
What I disagree with is that it can be spammed repeatedly. If you claim it's an ability that would instantly work on the first encounter and such. Since at that point the enemy just realized Yujiro predicted them. A pragmatic cheap trick, as Yujiro himself calls it, didn't last very long against Baki. And from Baki to Yujiro.
No, the amount of time a MFTL character needs to react is WAAAAY less than MHS characters, and as I've said several times before, the cap should be the speed shown, MHSCiruno Fortes said:You're basically inducing a NLF where no one can literally react to it since every brain needs a reaction. You can use that argument to have him beat MFTL opponents without speed equalization.
What's seen to happen is everyone from the Narrator, Baki, and Yujiro, literally talking about the 0.5 deal, and then literally overwhelming it by becoming faster than the 0.5 deal.
That's the simple and most clear answer.
