Aight, I'll try to evidence his not combat related feats that may grant him EG outside of combat as well and, just to avoid incomprehension, simply because he performs a feat while fighting it doesn't mean it's a feat that only apply to combat related stuff.
- I believe learning ability is his most incredible feat, in the blog I mainly cited his ability/knowledge of magic, and while yes, magic is used 99% of times to fight this feat shouldn't only apply to combat. Cid spawned in a new world and found magic, which is a physical phenomenon like any other, and Cid, by his own abilities without relaying on anyone else, by observing, analyzing, learning, try and error... was able to surpass not only the entire society and whatever it was known/developed up to that point but he even surpassed several dudes with over a millenium of experience on that topic. Let's say Fenrir has average intellect, he reached X point in knowledge and control of magic after >1000 years, Cid reached the same exact point at 10 (arguable) and at 16 showed an abyssal difference between him and Fenrir. Again, this feat is just Cid studying a phenomenon on his own, not necessarly a battle-only feat.
-In the Intelligence page we have this section:
So stupidly high calculations/multi-tasking is EG, Cid quite literally does it as I wrote in the blog:
If we want to try and list all the ***** Cid had to multi-task while fighting...
1) He was against 3 opponents, so he had to read and react each of their movements, it's even stated Cid was basically mind reading all 3; we know Cid analyse tons of ***** when reads his opponents in fights such as, body movements, trajectories, facial expression/intentions, timings, how the energy moves in their body, attack patterns... and he did all this with 3 people at the same time.
2) He had to move each of his 10 fingers differently, each finger moving different threads, each thread with different length and thickness.
3) While calculating and analyzing all these elements he was making up small tactics to control the opponents, such as making sure some threads weren't visible to sneak attacks making sure none of them could reach him and even setting up traps for future actions.
4) He was calculating all these things while he was visualizing (mentally) the battlefield from above.
If this isn't studly superhuman multi-task I don't know what it is. For instances, a feat I found yesterday (
scan) he was able to create and control hundreds of different magical stands, meaning he can controls hundreds of different elements simultaneously, lol. The funny thing about both feats is that he is playing around in both, his brain wasn't even challenged by this.
So.... add to this that he is a stupidly superhuman fighters and you have 3 different fields where he no diffs IRL peak humans. If this is not enough for EG rating then At Least Genius is ok by me, or whatever staff think is more appropriate but I believe he qualifies for EG, a low one but still qualifies.
