Anime is secondary canon so the statement about the poison are still valid

Pretty sure anime only stuff isn't considered as canon at all, it's why Boros from OPM isn't 5-B even though in the anime he says he will destroy the planet.

Thats on different case, in case of SxP anime, we considering it as secondary canon

Be that as it may, what exactly is Yor going to do to win?
Pressure points are nice but then there's fire attacks. She's going to get burnt. Also a cow is very different from what Riptor is.
Riptor has a stat advantage on her by a bit.
But assuming that Yor gets a lucky streak, what exactly stops her from falling prey to a mind control?

She has IR, so the flames can be avoided, tho what Saman said is right as she can't dance throught it forever
Thats fair
The chance are pretty low if you ask me, it can be happen if Yor studied her and accidently looked at Riptor eyes

Sounds reasonable. Riptor's fire attacks probably don't match his strongest attacks or at least IR helps there if it's not too much AOE.
Yeah, but if the case is above I'll move my FRA into a tie vote since it sounds like this comes to either pressure points or hypnosis/hit Yor enough times.
- 39,619
- 15,529
Yeah, i'll go with tie (incon) with this one as well

Yeah, the sudden FRA train was a little odd.
Anyway, I still believe pressure points aren't a viable option, how is Yor gonna know the physiology of a cybernetic human-raptor hybrid? Given that Riptor's spine completely artificial and she has other mechanical parts visible, Yor might even end up striking a metal nerve or joint that doesn't work like a real one.
Besides, landing an ineffective blow would leave Yor open to a counterattack, something she wants to avoid at any cost.
Even at close range, Yor's poison needles have good range and her mix of ES and IR help dodging, but Riptor doesn't only make extensive use of her claws and the tail (the latter can also be extended beyond normal), but her fire can be used as a stream, to light the ground aflame (Flame Carpet) or as close and "high" range projectiles (Flame Mortar and Flame Wall), making even harder for Yor to approach Riptor in melee, also given the stats disadvantage.
I also want to throw in Riptor's speed and range boost (via Rage).

I mean she can just targetting some of the spot that aren't mechanical as she still part of flesh, thats my take
Fair but that mean it's come which those attacks going to hit first, and while the flamds can be used on varied mean like you bring, chance to hit Yor are still going to be difficult, you also forgot that afterimage are still going to be an factor here
IR can handled it and i dunno but if Riptor is in rage, her skill became less effective and making her more predictable, no? Unless it's like the case of Type Deadheat Mach from Kamen Rider Drive where despite in Rage mode, the dude can still maintain his cool and thinking (controlled Rage)

She has to guess, since she can't reliably tell if she'll find steel under the scaly skin, or even know where the pressure points of a human-dinosaur are.
Imho I don't think afterimages are going to be much of a trouble, the only for them is Yor's dashing through people while the real one is still more defined than the afterimage. They can be confusing at first, but no as effective as other examples of the same ability.
IR goes so far against speed, her body still needs to abide to its capabilities.
Nothing suggests Riptor becomes less capable when in Rage, since it's not a berserk mode and the only thing it does is boosting her stats.
At most you can say she becomes more ferocious, but Riptor's gonna be everything other than predictable with or without rage.

The only noticable of mechanical part of Riptor is her arms and feets, outside that just like you said
However can she just aim for the head?
I rechecked Riptor page and she can sense something with her smell so i think this one is fair, as a battle goes Yor going to be bleeding so the afterimage will get less effective
Yeah but that still going to be enough for competeting Riptor at Rage
Oh right, i kinda mixed it lel
Fair with this one tho Yor can still deal with those albeit with more difficulty
- 39,619
- 15,529
Honestly, this fight is incon at best with Riptor has some slightly advantage but as long she can hold still, Yor can competeting with Riptor until either one of them land the fatal hit
So yeah i'm still with voting inconand the fact that i've carried Yor to the point of being exhausted lmao
So yeah i'm still with voting incon

Joking aside, at least Riptor win without the bs FRA train and i already did my best here so it's a win-win

As it can be seen here, Riptor's got several more external and internal mechanical parts.
And yes, Yor can aim for the head, but at that point she's just going to try stab it with her needles, instead of trying to pressure point something she doesn't know.
You don't really need ES for that, Yor's scan shows that the main body is still more definite than the afterimages, which becomes progressively more transparent, and once Riptor notices she just leaves them behind her, she can just guess the pattern and follow the main body alone, since Yor hasn't shown to perform maneuvers like Roshi or Goku confounding the opponent with multiple images.
It honestly depends on the situation.
Imma wait for Witch's reply

Well now i can rest in ease (read: sleep) lel
There is some of factors i forgot to mention like stealth and social influencing, but i'll leave it to Witchy right now

That works both ways, as Riptor's excellent in stealth too, other than being artificially hardwired for it.
The battlefield is Central Park at day by SBA, so I guess the chances to employ some stealth tactic depend on where the battle takes place.
Riptor's not unused at fighting stealthy opponents, tho. She led her pack to the win against a larger group of Fulgores, which are also developed to be stealthy assassins and can teleport and become invisible.
It's also very likely that Riptor stumbled upon some Mimic of the several KI characters who have stealth mastery, so that's another plus in her experience record.
I doubt it's going to work, Riptor's much more intelligent than any dog
