Archie Sonic's Possible Probability Manipulation

[Darkness552]

Would this technically count as probability manipulation even though it is involuntary or would it be a simple case of PIS

 

[Reppuzan]

Er... I dunno, it sounds more like a subtle acknowledgment of Sonic's Plot Armor as the protagonist.

Nevertheless, it could be a subtle form of Fate or Probability Manipulation like Magnamon's, but due to my lack of interest in the Sonic series, I think we need more input.

This is bound to cause so many NLFs honestly. People would start assuming that Sonic would always win because of Fate and stuff. This is too vague to be added as a concrete ability.

 

[Darkness552]

@Saikou it has shown it's limitations and it's not like Sonic with the ability beats everybody in his universe

the two times Mogul was referring to was that in Sonic's presence he was more or less beaten by Tails instead of Sonic himself, Sonic would have never been able to beat Mogul alone

@Reppu

the plot armor reason is why I am skeptic but i believe it is worth asking about it

 

[Executor_N0]

Well, Dr.Eggman explains this with the fact that Sonic has become the embodiment of chaos.

 

[Darkness552]

The scan does add a little context that could help

 

[TISSG7Redgrave]

hmmm seems like fate manipulation to me though more involuntary i think

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

Hmm sounds like probability manipulation to me.

 

[Darkness552]

the more i think about it the more i think the ability would apply but we should still wait for a little more input, I will be back online tomorrow to discuss if there is more to be discussed

 

[Antvasima]

I also think that it simply seems to be an acknowledgement of "The Theory Of Narrative Causality"/standard plot armor for most main character protagonists.

 

[Darkness552]

@Antvasima even with the reasoning Eggman had as Sonic being a concept? the only issue to the ability is its involuntary nature and him being the main protagonist and i guess the question is does that take precedence over Sonic being an embodiment of chaos

 

[Antvasima]

Well, again, most fictional protagonists have this ability, so I am uncertain if it is appropriate to actually list it as a power. Then again Medaka Box has treated this as an actual in-story power...

 

[Cropfist]

If this is accepted what ability it would be?

@Cropfist

Passive Probability Manipulation or Fate Manipulation, much like Magnamo.
