8-B Brackets Round 16

[Tony_di_bugalu]

I know he is stealthy AF but if they can be dodged then Dante has a chance to get out of the way and if they work like some gas he could just go fine without breathing there.

Can you list them please?

 

[ShiroyashaGinSan]

Stealth only stops when he lands a hit. A single tranquilizer is enough to put him sleep for days. Or getting paralyzed.

Air Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Water Manipulation, Explosion Manipulation, Regenerationn, Biological Manipulation, Absorption, Statistics Reduction, Disease Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Necromancy, Resurrection, Weather Manipulation, possibly even Water Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Power Nullification.

 

[Tony_di_bugalu]

So, one hit is enough to K.O. Dante. Paralyze is not really a good option as he can just summon his Doppleganger wich is a shadow to keep fighting until he gets back up, slow time and get free shots, etc.

Going by that list then he can null the majority of Dante responses to stealth (his weapons with AoE attacks) except for Beowulf but he doesn't null his time slow, nor his styles. But you said that he stops being stealthy after the first hit so it doesn't matter.

He still needs to deal with his rege....

>Can null Regenerationn

Shieeeeet...

Up to what level of Regen can null?

 

[ShiroyashaGinSan]

Sleep is more likely option than paralysis. Majority of people use sleep because you get salary more when you put them to jail instead.

Low-Mid with Elderseal, though High-Mid with equipment.

 

[Agnaa]

Does The Hunter have the high-mid regen null equipment in this battle?

EDIT: Also, doesn't Dante still die if his head's destroyed? That shouldn't be hard to do when he's asleep.

 

[Tony_di_bugalu]

Does he have that equipment (the one that negs High-Mid) in this key?

Edit: Mid regen covers that AFAIK.

Mid regen covers that AFAIK.

Normal mid regen does, Dante's doesn't. It's why he's allowed in these brackets.

You can kill Fatalis with low-rank equipment. So my answer is yes. And before you say that's G-Rank Hunter, you can kill Fatalis and Dire Miralis while using Low-rank equipment, it doesn't make sense that Low-rank Hunter won't have it if it can.

 

[Tony_di_bugalu]

There are differente levels of Mid Regenerationn?

 

[ShiroyashaGinSan]

There are Mid Regen that only lets you recover when you're brain is only partially destroyed, like Hazama for example, compared to let you regenerate a completely destroyed head, like Naoto Kurogane. Dante falls in to former category.

 

[Agnaa]

There are differente levels of Mid Regenerationn?

From what I heard it's apparently just that having his head cut off/destroyed is a weakness of his Regenerationn.

You can read about it in the hub thread, where people were calling for Dante to be removed from the brackets.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

I'd wait for Bambu to drop in before voting, tbh

I mean, your opponent accumulating votes is a good incentive to start arguing

Bambu after seeing this:

 

[PrettyFearMachine]

Okay Bambino, you win...

Hunter FRA.

 

[Firephoenixearl]

Hunter FRA.

@Dargoo, let's go next match.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Hunter FRA

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Forgive my late thoughts on this, just got off of work and got home.

@Shiro "His status effects are dealt by weapons"

Nooooot entirely. Certain weapons can indeed inflict the exact same statuses (sleep, paralysis, etc) as the equipment I mentioned, but the Hunter can still access the abilities via tools they can carry around.

Elderseal is super vague though, nobody in the game really understands how it works other than "stuff no work when around it".

I'm not sure I agree with scaling regen null in early game to Fatalis, considering Fatalis is where our 5-A rating comes from in his peak form and casually scales to Low 6-B in lesser forms. Regardless, Hunter should have no issue destroying the head of Dante under these circumstances.

@Tony

Effects are in theory dodgeable but just as an example, tranq bombs are a gaseous AoE and shock traps take effect the second you touch it.

Anyways these were just random last minute insights, now I sleep.

 

[Firephoenixearl]

Ok then this concluded and we're waiting for the next match.

...and dargoo to update the win on Ouma vs Istuwa.
