Good to know. So, what does he start off with?
CQC, he can also use shockwaves to attack at some distance but he mainly fight at CQC.
as far as we can tell. Rizka often spam tosses karambits
That isn't really a problem to Ryutarou though, in a range battle he actually have the advantage (and essentially have unlimited ammo since the shockwaves are something he just create without much energy) and his opponents have better spamming capability that Rizka (his best friend can easily create dozen of wind blades and light attacks, his other childhood friend can also create several wind blades to attack, his magician companions can naturally spam their attacks, and even most monsters he face have spaming powers), additionally unless it is a fatal attack his endurance would let him move even with grievous injuries.
well the thing is. 2.35 times difference in AP is in Rizka's favour. her Karambits would simply cleave through the weaker shockwaves.
Their trajectory would still be affected (and considering the difference in LS it would probably be a significant change) and at worst he would only need to physically move to dodge and/or block them (something that his can instinctually do, as showed when he was showered by real lasers in the middle of a mist where his vision was limited), and unless she have hundreds of karambits she can only pull that trick a few times. Additionally even if the karambits can pass through the shockwaves the entire shockwave itself would still travel and reach Rizka body, damaging it externally and internally.
just to clarify, her M.A.T.A. suit would prevent internal damage due to a something known as "Microshielding particles"
what about CQC then?
I doubt that considering that she not only lack resistance to vibration manip, but also because Ryutarou shockwaves are specifically enhanced with spatial manip to be able to penetrate the body of the target.
To add to the part about be a genius in a combat related job like Monk, that should mean that he is above people like Liliana for example who mastered Aikido from internet videos. Besides the fact that he regularly train with other geniuses combatants like Shizuku or Kouki (not the Kouki that is in the list of most skilled characters, but the one who already was said to be of the best in the entire world).
Wouldn't this be a clear cut stomp.. ?
The spatial effect is to guarante they penetrate their target body/that they reach their insides, is not that space itself gets damaged, ripped or anything like that.
Kind of a stomp...
It's actually not, the enhancement only make them penetrate the target body, something that by default they already do without it and that Rizka don't resist (because she lack resistance to vibration manipulation).
It's either a stomp or be stomped match...maybe switch to a character that doesn't have spatial shockwaves?
The spatial shockwaves don't do spatial damage though, and you would need to give a reasoning as to why she would stomp his previous key when from everything commented here and in the profiles he have the advantage in the rest of fields besides ap.
