The bullets that are richocheting are from Nightingale. You know, a servant. and fodder tends to be somewhat of a threat in FGO regularly, you speak as if calling them fodder automatically means they fit what you want, and spoiler alert, Helters are made and developed by a servant in both S4 and S5, so they also scale to weaker Servants and such since they actually tend to pose a threat.
Ascensions are acknowledged throughout FGO as being amps, from Caster Guilles stating it cause he was pissed to Mash gong from "run the **** away or be overwhelmed" right to "take on one of the strongest members of the Round Table and one of the most skilled individuals in the series" in S6.
and we already know how fast Servants are consistently. that is to say not that fast. and normal soldiers could briefly survive and fend off the mechanized units that shot guns. so those guns clearly aren't abnormal in speed.
interesting thing to note on the ascension thing at least.
@ShadowWhoWalksThe point is that your claim that Rin is normally as fast as Saber/Archer is false. Being able to perceive them is not the same as being able to physically keep up, and when they get more serious she can't even perceive them.
except that she can as we've seen with Medea before she even amped herself with her jewels. Shirou was also able to defend against some attacks from a restricted Cu (who was still Servant level) even if briefly.
Not necessarily correct, especially since we are talking about a complex multiverse; in the vast majority of cases both different portrayals co-exist rather than clash.
you can't say two contradicting feats from the same series can coexist.
Also the anime can retcon the source material.
a much less detailed and descriptive adaption is certainly not overriding the original source material that is much more in depth and has more info.
Atrum is a character in Lord El-Melloi's Case Files which is in the exact same timeline as Fate/Stay Night, and Nasu jokingly acknowledged the retcon.
which doesn't mean all of the others are rectons, especially since it basically took an entirely separate series for Nasu to confirm the recton.
In Fate/Zero's novel, Kayneth carries Volumen Hydrargyrum in a large vase that has weight-reduction Magecraft added to it. In the anime he is carrying Volumen Hydrargyrum in a small test tube. In official FGO art, Kayneth is portrayed carrying Volumen Hydrargyrum in a test tube like with the anime.
from craft essences? using those as canon is pretty shaky to say the least.
If Caster wanted to crush her rather than toy with her she would.
Medea was superior certainly, but speed blitzing was never on the table for her clearly.
Also why won't said anti-feats reflect on Tsukihime?
because those are anti-feats for Fate scaling. though I don't care if Tsukihime gets downgraded due to Fate speed getting downgraded on this site.
There are quite a few lightning users in Fate, even if they aren't the main villain of the story.
i already know this. Telsa comes to mind immediately especially. but we never really see how people fare against said lightning due to the game. aim dodging is a possibility. do we actually have a lot of feats of Servants blocking lightning attacks or dodging them while they are firing?
Katsushika stating she can easily dodge or deflect lightning attacks like she does with bullets and arrows
the quote you sent sounds like boasting honestly.
Svin deflects lightning and blitzes a stronger lightning attack:
this is the best evidence you've brought so far. problem is we need much more for it to actually contend with bullet timer struggles and numerous speed of sound statements and measurements.
Alcides deflects lightning launched from the Gate of Babylon:
Strange Fake lightning statements are basically unusable because this is the same series that calls someone's arrow lightning speed then turns around and says it's the speed of sound.
Mash reacts to Iskander's lightning:
nothing showed she reacted to the lightning. looks like she just got down before it even appeared.
Xuanzang reacting to Mordred's lightning
two problems here. one, is said lightning magecraft lightning or even stated to be lightning. two, you're using the anime adaption. i mean i'm fine with that if we also properly downgrade Goetia to where he isn't 1-C or even planetary physically, considering he got damaged and contested by a group of Servants.
no.
Vague. Your perception is anti-status quo so it would be helpful if you are more clear.
status quo is irrelevant to reasoning and logic. and how more clear can i get? my reasoning is pretty straight forward.
What is the quantity, given in numerical value, do you find reasonable?
when we get enough lightning feats to start contesting supersonic and bullet timing feats. and not only in quantity, in detail and descriptions.
So in general the knight class Servants are better than the average non-elite DAA, such as Vlov and properly Nrvnqsr base form. Where is the issue exactly?
base Nrvnqsr is stomping other DAAs and Servants. and the issue is that SHIKI Roa, who isn't one of the top tiers is already a casual lightning timer and can go at least twice as fast as the speed of lightning due to MBAA.
In this case looks like weaker Arcueid only created a smaller replica of the moon.
nope. that ability is canonically a mirror replica of the moon. and that same Arcueid is already not too far off from Type-Moon in power. he's only about 70% stronger.
The size is drawn clearly
the moon in the same manga is also drawn to be 10x the size of ours randomly at times. it's not drawn to scale and we know how the ability works.
if it was large chunk of the planet's surface getting slammed it would be obvious.
they were in a reality marble with a landmass of unknown size regardless.
Nrvnqsr was destroyed through Mystic Eyes of Death Perception hax, and destroying separately doesn't require as much force.
he was killed by multiple Melty Blood characters that wouldn't have the hax to do that. he was even killed by White Len Tatari Nanaya who does not have MEoDP. and you cannot kill Nrvnqsr separately over time. you have to kill all of his lives at once.
Arcueid during most of Tsukihime is weakened due to creating a body despite MEoDP, and her power is capped by the Counter Force which adjusts her power level to be only be slightly stronger than her opponent.
her power isn't capped. Gaia can just boost here whenever fit. and Arcueid during Melty Blood is stronger than herself before she even got cut down by Nanaya, since she also got some of her power back from Roa.
Remake is a different canon with different logic. don't even know why you brought this up as an example. not even acknowledging it.
Otherwise a Servant as versatile as Gilgamesh would beat her per Nasu
Nasu's comparison of Gilgamesh Vs. Arc was just comparing how her Gaia backup is useless against certain types of enemies and how she is horribly matched against some. Gilgamesh is one of the best examples. but it was just a comparison of how he counters her and that ability so badly. when factoring in actual stats, he gets casually speed blitzed.
And two Servants tag teaming her would likely win per Nasu.
massively contradicted since DAAs couldn't do that. not to mention one of Nasu's comparisons between Arc and Servants he said was specifically "non-serious."
Ciel's most powerful prepped attack reaches Excalibur level, meaning that the rest are weaker.
Remake canon. invalid argument.
Thoughts about the statement from Kiri Nanaya (who scales to Kouma Kishima) that he and his demon hunting clan can't dodge regular bullets?
yep. too bad Kiri scales to no one of relevance in Tsukihime and Kouma was toying with him. and if you bring up some Nanaya potential comparison to Kiri, that never talks about stats. would be referring to assassination skills. White Len Nanaya beat the guy who soloed Kiri and his entire clan. just in case you try to bring that up out of context. we also don't know how strong the real Kouma is in comparison to his Tatari self born from Shiki's nightmares.
Thoughts about the statement that Sion (whom Shiki found to be fast) isn't fast enough to dodge a bullet even if she predicts its path, despite the acknowledgment that she can keep up with Arcueid in the same statement?
that was a complete metaphor. are you really serious right now? that's just silly dude. that was a metaphorical analogy of how Sion may know what Arcueid will do but can't stop it. why do you think she used the sinking ship analogy? that's just desperate on your part man.
So if she knows what's coming and isn't caught off-guard, Musashi can move fast enough to parry light speed attacks. Sweet.
outlier at worst. but she needed help predicting it and was so amazed by it that she thought it was vastly beyond anything a Servant could do. and it being light speed was already put into question.
If the "90%" percentage you claim has kept constant over the years, my standard wouldn't make any iota of difference from one that doesn't restrict the years. If my request becomes much more difficult if we add a recency restriction, then I have made my point.
don't really know what you're saying here.
A Servant firing her magical gun to destroy a prison cell, and magical guns from mech made with Magecraft. Sorry but this is scraping the bottom of the barrel; unlike what is requested the two examples are ambiguous at best and can't be considered serious arguments.
except the mechanized helters could be defended off by normal humans and their guns and canons.
Due to a large amount of repeated incidents where Servants with different physical stats keep up with each other regardless of their stats (even if one of them has Rank E Strength/Endurance/Agility), the difference between ranks is not considered significant. So almost all Servants get the same rating and scale with each other.
yes, i agree the stats aren't a huge difference. but being slightly below the average supersonic Servant would put you at subsonic and mana burst could amp you into the higher ends of supersonic.
This isn't acknowledged by others in the thread so a declaration won't cut it.
in terms of the CRT going through? maybe. in terms of what is reasonable and logical? what most think here is irrelevant.
Can you succinctly articulate why you think the argument is untenable?
the powercreep argument never even addresses Servants and just vaguely says that Fate has gotten stronger over the years, which could be referring to beasts or any number of things. to automatically assume it means servants and we can by extension ignore all low ends and all feats and statements from series that are still canon to GO is just false. it makes no sense and isn't grounded in reason. you guys are even ignoring mid tier feats like the supposed lightning timing. how is magecraft and natural lightning relevant if these characters are relativistic or higher?
