Dimaria Yesta vs Mega Absol

[GyroNutz]

How long does the time stop last?

 

[Dragonmasterxyz]

Iirc the Time Stop lasts as long as she wants it to.

Also, I have no issues with Taunt.

 

[Drite77]

Couldn't Absol use Me First to make use of the Time Stop?

 

[Dragonmasterxyz]

That's only if Absol chooses to use Me First. Thing is that Absol has a large list of moves that he can choose to use. Meanwhile, Dimaria has a solid starting option.

 

[Drite77]

Detect could prob see the time stop, with the IQ skill Extra Striker, he could prevent that with Me First. Detect is more likely to be used to prevent damage, since Absols normally don't like to fight.

 

[Dragonmasterxyz]

I mean, Detect still needs to be activated, and even then it doesn't save him from Time Stop.

 

[Drite77]

I mean, it wouldn't save, but i was thinking that it would let Absol to know that his foe have an Time Stop

 

[GyroNutz]

Passive fear manip is also a thing, which will likely make Dimaria act irrationaly and hesistantly at worst. Should give Absol enough time to pull precog + a winning strategy

 

[Drite77]

Yeah, his passive Fear Manip + Intimidator make that a huge deal

 

[Dragonmasterxyz]

Fear Manipulation as stated above could also be a detriment as it could also cause Dimaria to act more in line with ending the fight immediately. So she'd be more likely to go for the kill as she'd see Absol as an immediate threat. And again, this assumes Absol doesn't go for say Night Slash, Psycho Cut or something else. Those are also very well within character.

 

[Drite77]

I mean, Intimidator is described as inducing fear to the point where the enemy lost his chance of attack

 

[Dragonmasterxyz]

I mean, people act differently when faced with fear. Not everyone just decides to not attack. Some people enter a mental state in which they go "kill them with fire!".

 

[Drite77]

True, but i feel like that Dimaria would be reluctant in attacking Absol because of the fear for a tiny bit of time, but i never watched Fairy Tail, so don't quote me on that

 

[CrackerVolley]

The fear manip is probably is not going to work as well as it would usually with Dimaria being an experienced fighter and all, but with fear manip being able to kill people usually, it would probably have a decent effect at least.

 

[GyroNutz]

Just an FYI; Intimidator works on Grovyle, who fits the definition of 'fight, not flight' to a T.

 

[DemonGodMitchAubin]

Giving Dimaria Fear would cause to get serious immediately and go for the kill, just wanna point that out

 

[GyroNutz]

It's not just making them feel intimidated, it's inducing unnatural fear that's enough to make a fainthearted person die on the spot and make brave explorers flinch, unable to attack briefly.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

So....some of really low-BS fear manipulation?

 

[GyroNutz]

It's not that BS tbh. Just don't put Absol against someone who scares easy and it's manageble.

 

[CrackerVolley]

Bump

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

BUMP!!

 

[1997KD]

Di Maria didn't go for the kill onKagura because she found her attractive

Absol does not have said Luxury.

Dimaria time stops and hits him until he dies I think

Fra

 

[1997KD]

Basically since it's a pokemon, dimaria can't destroy it's cloth to play with him, she will go for kill as soon as them meet, starting with stopping time

 

[DragonEmperor23]

[The_real_cal_howard]

I'm still a firm believer in Magic Guard no selling it.

 

[Drite77]

Magic Guard stopping the stopping time? I don't think that Magic Guard can do that

 

[Drite77]

Cause Magic Guard only stops indirect damage

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Exactly. It's indirect.

Edit: Shoot. I meant Magic Bounce.

 

[CrackerVolley]

Magic bounce deflects non-damaging moves as well

 

[Drite77]

Not all non-damaging moves, Gravity, for example, is not reflected

 

[Dragonmasterxyz]

I will continuously say that Magic Bounce deflecting Time Stop without feats in series is complete BS. And I will happily make a big deal out of it if it comes to it as I am vehemently against this.

 

[Drite77]

Magic Bounce reflect status inducing moves (you can put some limited sound bouncing here), moves that will chage absol's ability, moves that would change his type, make psychic attacks work on Absol, Power Null, Telekinesis, attacks that would prevent Absol to using some of his attacks (Encore, Disable, etc), Null items usage, status reduction and the moves Spotlight, Embargo and Block. Everything else, Magic Bounce will not reflect

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

@KD @Emp

A****e

 

[CrackerVolley]

I still think Dimaira will not abuse her first time stop enough to kill Absol, then promptly gets Taunted.

 

[Drite77]

I think that Dimaira may find Absol pretty, or at least cute, i mean, he is so fluffy

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Boi, you see that haircut, so pretty too

 

[Drite77]

Bonus point for looking like an emo

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Dimaria will probably try to de-wing it only to realize it's fur.

 

[Drite77]

Is the possibiliy of Dimaria wanting absol for a pet in? Or that is OOC?

 

[Dragonmasterxyz]

Dimaria will probably try to de-wing it only to realize it's fur.

So you're telling me Mega Absol can't fly????? My hopes and dreams....
