Not very potent in the beginning, but as time goes on, it improves, and becomes very potent
Nia's Energy Shots are apparently slower than her, so nah
Can the amping ability get better over time?
Nia herself also has really good tolerance towards pain. When Antispiral was examining her, it created holes around her entire body, and would get bigger over time. While this was going on, she was still trying to regenerate. This went on for most of the time in the war against Antispiral. Or High-Low regeneration
Nia may not do well against opponents with energy shots because of the speed of them, her skill in hand-to-hand combat should still be very good, as she’s easily defeated Viral, who is a trained soldier of Lordgenome’s army, and was one of the elites; he could fight on par with Simon, who was stated to become quite proficient after 3 years of training. She even has instinctive reaction for dodging an attack she seemingly wasn’t aware of, has instant thought based teleportation, and has Mid-Low regeneration negation. Can see beings who are abstract and invisible, and can touch type 1 abstracts
No, but Brad isn't the type to let a fight drag out. Brad would want to end fight quickly, especially after taking Joy
Brad invented an entire martial arts style, and those taught to use it are by far the most efficient fighters in all of Olathe. He has beating champion-class wrestlers in direct combat and has beating up to five people at the same time, with them not being too much weaker from him physically. Not only that, but he could learn other styles and incorporated their teachings just by reading their scrolls.
Is that in character for her? Using teleportation in combat? It shouldn't be much of problem either way, since her only projectile is slower and has less range than Brad's
I guess Nia has an advantage over this, since her Reactive Evolution becomes more potent overtime.
Nia should be able to adapt to this fighting style, so I think maybe she has the edge in terms of Martial Arts
It is in character for her to use teleportation to dodge attacks
She doesn't only use it for firing, which she only does when she's up close, she also uses them while they remain on her hands
I mean she still has High-Low Regeneration, so she should be fine
Not really, the AP gap is too huge to bridge so easily and definitely not fast enough with Brad's aggressiveness
The showings you've mentioned are nowhere near his level so no
Doesn't mean she can do so too effectively with the skill gap
What are the actual feats for the regen? Profile does not list them
Right. It might be a really long battle
Regardless, she isn't easily outclassed in this regard, she could still do alright in Hand-to-Hand Combat
She has Instinctive Reaction with thought based instantaneous teleportation. It'll be difficult to hit her with those two abilities coupled with each other
here. The video shows the damage she regenerates from. The video also reminded me of how Nia could also move her arm, even when it's severed (so really it should be Low-Mid regeneration, but like I said before, her profile is outdated)
eeeh
eeeeh
not on profiles + doesn't seem that good
So just because it's not on an outdated profile, means she can't do it? Plus, thought-based instant teleportation is like one of the best types you can find. So how is Brad going to hit her? Even if he hits, how can he overcome her Regeneration? And with the video showing her moving her severed arm, which would give her really good Supernatural Willpower, and therefore, really good Reactive Evolution, she could catch up faster than what was initially presented. With RE, she could also adapt to fighting styles, so she isn't going to be outskilled the whole time
Does she just go through the entire series hitless? Cause that's what you're making it sound like
As Messenger Nia, yes. I mean, she’s been hit by a blitzkrieg, but mainly because it wasn’t a problem to her and she was completely unaffected by it. She’s dodged an out of nowhere attack from Yoko’s Rifle, and teleported out of the way of Arch-Gurren Lagann’s drill
Simon did tell her to get out of the way before using using his drill tho
In the vid I showed, she isn't in her Messenger Nia state of mind. After episode 22, the mentality is gone
Arc Gurren Lagann is still really fast, and it did seem like she dodged the drill last minute
Do her powers leave too? Otherwise it doesn't matter. Anyway
No, because even if her mentality is gone, her physiology and knowledge remains the same
It can’t be that she heard the sound. Yoko’s bullets are Supersonic (should be Hypersonic because that’s explicitly how fast they are, which is consistent with her rifle being a railgun), which is already faster than sound. Even though it’s fiction where characters can hear stuff past sound speed, TTGL is a verse that explicitly uses a lot of irl physics. She didn’t block it, she got her hand out of the way of the bullet
Yes it does, it happens right after Simon frees her. Before Simon freed her, she was still damaged, and literally right after that all the damage is gone. So her regeneration is like really quick
So, she got hit.
Her non-Anti-Spiral personality doesn’t count as Messenger Nia. The one shown in the videos are base Nia (but with Messenger Nia clothes)
Are ya sure Yoko was trying to shoot Nia's hand? It seems like it hit The Energy Shot which made Nia pull her hand
In the first panel it shows that if Yoko shot the energy, she would’ve ended up shooting her hand as well
Wasn't Nia's energy orb expanding and getting bigger in the first panel? It also seems like Yoko's bullet dispersed the energy shot
No. Regardless, Nia would've had to move her hand out of the way
Doesn't really need instinctive reaction to do that tho (She's faster than Yoko's Rifle and the bullet already hit her Energy Shot)
Even if she's faster, it's out of nowhere to her, and she would be unable to react to a bullet through its sound because its faster than sound, and its appearance because she isn't looking that way
Wouldn't she see a bullet hitting her energy shot and dispersing it?
Her energy and hand are like really close to each other. Even if she saw it happen, it would've already touched her hand. Nia's reaction speed and Yoko's Superconducting Rifle's bullet speed aren't even that far apart for her to just dodge right when she notices the energy is dispersed
How does he overcome Nia's teleportation, regeneration, and Reactive Evolution?
With speed equal and experience against fast opponents and general martial arts knowledge (which by itself requires a certain level of prediction even in real life), Nia isn't going to be untouchable to Brad, who can also leap and move quite nimbly and quickly.
Idk, Nia’s speed can eventually become too much
Nia regenerated from her limbs disappearing, she should have Low-Mid
