Chiya vs Isabel Guerra

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

When you've got an obscure character you need matches for, clearly the best solution is to find someone else with a similarly obscure character.

Chiya vs Isabel Guerra (With Eightfold)

Win via KO, incapacitation, or death.

Chiya's AP: 15 megajoules

Isabel's AP: 3.3 megajoules

Does Isabel have flipflop or eightfold in this match?

Speed doesn't need to be equalized.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Aren't those her standard equipment?

Alright, speed's unequal now.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

She has her book for one half of the story, giving her paper powers through eightfold, and has her umbrella for the second half, which gives her the ability to flip stuff. Never both at the same time.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Well Chiya resists Flipflop's stuff and I want to make this as fair as possible so I'll go with Eightfold.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Alright, second question

Would Chiya be effected by spiritual energy attacks (Basically, has she ever interacted with spirits and the like, is part spirit, summons spirits/ghosts, etc)?

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Well, she can see the gods of the Labyrinth Town, which are invisible to everyone else.

There's also Kurou who might be a spirit, might be one of those gods, might be just a summon, the series hasn't delved too deep into what exactly he is yet.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

So would it be fair to say spirtual energy would have an effect on her? In Paranatural, spectral energy doesn't have any effect on people who aren't spectrals (people who can interact with ghosts/spirits) or ghosts/spirits themselves.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

I don't honestly know, it would depend on if Kurou is a spirit or not. It's not intangible, and it can't possess people or do any of the things normally associated with a typical ghost or spirit.

Here's the scene (timestamped) where she summons it for the first time. (Fair warning, the video is sped up so the voices are chipmunk'd)

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Now that I think about it, other characters in the series can contact and interact with actual spirits, and considering Chiya's training for the same profession I'd say it's more than likely.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

So Isabel can probably use her spectral energy attacks, which are sort of her bread and butter. Forcefields, energy constructs, and swarming the battlefield with paper should help Isabel a lot here.

That said I doubt it's enough to cover the AP gap and she doesn't tend to enter spirit trance in combat much in character.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Chiya is a bit of a pacifist so she'll likely try avoiding combat at first and talking her down instead. She also doesn't usually summon Kurou unless she's overwhelmed.

Of course she's also got more going for her than the AP advantage. She's incredibly nimble, and with the amount of trees in Central Park she'll be able to use the environment to her advantage in that regard. And if/when she does finally summon Kurou she can properly analyze the situation.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Bump

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

The sheer volume of paper Isabel can summon outta the book will make her attacks hard to avoid. I'm on the fence for now.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Is it enough to fill all of Central Park up to the treetops?

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Is it enough to fill all of Central Park up to the treetops?

Enough to make trying to go for close-range combat a terrible idea.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

So if she sticks to leaping through trees she should be safe.

Or she can simply have Kurou swallow her then push its way through the paper until it gets close to Isabel-- that's where its Pseudo-Forcefield comes from.

Isabel projects her own forcefields and can grapple Kurou with chains and paper, throwing them around.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Even making the massive assumption that she'd be able to grapple and throw Kurou around, he can still keep Chiya secure while she's inside. Inside him it's all cushioned and his exterior was impenetrable even to something which could overpower Chiya without issue.

Plus getting her out of being bound was literally the first thing he did in the series.
