Cyrus (Pokemon) vs Simon Belmont

[Waka1979]

Pretty certain their hax are thought based, at the very least it shouldn't take more than a few seconds. Also I'm going to ask about the time stop thing.

 

[Stillwinston]

Ic, if they open with thought based BFR there's not really anything Simon can do there but if its a few seconds he could hit them in the soul with vampire killer I guess?

 

[Waka1979]

At Sba I find it unlikely he'd be able to attack before he gets haxed.

 

[Waka1979]

Ok I just asked a staff member and no, time stop resistance does not grant general time manip resistance

 

[Stillwinston]

Ic, this might be a stomp then.

 

[Waka1979]

Possibly

 

[Stillwinston]

Should I swap this back to Alucard?

 

[Waka1979]

Alucard doesn't resist cyrus's hax either.

 

[Ned_the_outer_god]

Make it Soma Cruz instead

 

[Stillwinston]

Alucard leads with soul steal tho

 

[Waka1979]

Wait I ****** up. Even if dialga/palkia's hax is thought based cyrus would still have to order them, so it would take longer than I thought

 

[Stillwinston]

Huh Ic, this might be viable then after all. So VK attacks your soul on contact, will D and P be okay against that?

 

[Waka1979]

Even if they resist soul manip im pretty sure they're baseline while simon has a pretty good scaling chain, so he could probably one shot.

 

[Stillwinston]

Ic, was just I couldn't see it on their profile so not sure there. Simon can also do shockwaves with his whip as well think that was a move of his in Judgement

 

[Waka1979]

How likely is he to start with shockwaves? I feel like it's more in character for him to go in close first.

 

[Stillwinston]

Errrrr idk, I managed to get a clip of him using it in Judgement

He can also AOE with Holy Water I guess

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Unless special circumstances are met, which would be analyzed on a case by case basis, characters who have shown resistance to time-stopping abilities are assumed to be resistant to time-slowing abilities by default.

This is from the versus thread rules page. Resistance to time stop grants assumed resistance to time slow, but not anything else.

 

[Stillwinston]

Huh neat fair enough

Should say Simon can probably AOE via throwing daggers too iirc

they Don’t have souls they are immune to it

 

[Waka1979]

they Don’t have souls they are immune to it

Well Simon should still one shot

 

[Stillwinston]

Simon >> Castlevania1 Dracula >= Castlevania 3 Dracula > Trevor >> Hector >> Leon Belmont >> Death >> Time Reaper >= Baseline

Rough idea of Simon's scaling chain

 

[Stillwinston]

Bump

 

[Waka1979]

Honestly it just all depends on how likely Simon is to start with ranged attacks, if he tries to close the gap and use melee at the start then cyrus will just bfr him to the past or something.
