There are three reasons I'm voting Frogtace FRA here (and with which I waited to hear the replies to be sure my vote on this is legitimate):
1st, Frogman and Hecate edge. AsuJaven have immerse arsenal, but would a list of attributes be made here in an extended version (who is better in stats, who in durability, who is hax, who in battle IQ, and so on...), Frogtace comes edging by bit by being stronger in majority sections, even if very little and if the majority is just +-60%.
I mean honestly I’m tempted to vote now, frogman and Hecate have much greater arsenals, intelligence/planning, experience, and versatility as a team alongside moves like this combination Tree Saber and a sheer amount of attacks which I doubt even Asuna could react to via danger sense by the sheer number of them all (it’s mentioned numerous times that her peak feats of dodging just thousands of projectiles, and even with fortune there’d still be 250,000 blasts which would be statistically extremely likely to hit her especially with the fact that laser storm will home in on her and Javen (including during the tree saber strike as pressure) further with the precog resistances there are anyhow and Hecate being able to speed her own stuff up WAY more (further with red saber spears in tree saber, also able to speed up to the extreme according to froggy, who knows all about stage 4 frogman) and use frogman’s help to control her aim way better than she usually can even at those speeds, unlike in the semis frogate has means of remaining on equal stamina footing with Asuna and Javen so that main wincon of outlasting is gone, frogman has a bunch of ways to (including his own social influencing, which is very strong in stage 4) break Javen’s spirit (also denying imagination manifestation, since his belief would be pretty shaken at best, and that belief needs to be stout for it to work) even with Asuna’s help and of all the fighters, Javen is most likely to be taken out first based on all the variables (especially with frogate basically having nothing but dura neg options and his reactions being nothing next to Asuna or even frogman since he doesn’t have any enhanced reactions at all) would leave a 2v1 against Asuna, and there’s no chance she’d survive against these two all alone.
I know there’s still more from the Asuna and Javen camp to be said (namely, the stars) but at this point I’m unsure they even last long enough to try it, and frogate has ways even to counter those. Plus frogman and Hecate have methods to just stop them from pushing the earth away which is what allowed them to use stars quaint cobalt in the first place. In the Asuna and Javen vs cobalt and destiny, the winner was determined by ‘higher odds/more progress able to be made against the opponent’, which, considering all of the above (and the fact frogman still has more to bring, as said by froggy he has yet to bust out his hard diff maneuvers) definitely looks like frogate.
^ In this reply, Vene cleared this in very high detail, yet I feel like no one properly read it (besides SSB64, which seems to only used it to justify idea to DQ Frogtace further).
So I'm bringing this out now again, please people read this, its crucial.
The second reason I'm voting for Frogtace here is the reply made on
Tree Counter. It's notable and cannot be assured Asuna does this in each battle variant, but judging by all the events prior to, all things that showed to be not effective against Frogman (I will get to this later) and how little arsenal she has left, the percentage rate of her doing what Rayfire described here really feels like a big majority:
If this move is used to attempt to oneshot asuna & javen's clones, then that isn't very ideal considering that asuna's clones can pull a half-uno reverse on frogman this way, or at least hecate... I've said this MANY times before lol, if it physically impacts asuna AT ALL it'll reflect about 50% back onto either frogman or hecate depending on who the clone chooses.
This is not a very good idea at all lol, as i've said before this is going to discourage them.
- Enhanced Attack Reflection (Via [Reverse] Skill. While it is only active for a few seconds at a time, It can redirect 50% of any physical damage landed on asuna back towards an aggressor, though this is not able to redirect certain skills, such as [Negate], which do not physically impact her.)
How come? Asuna senses the killing intent of a target, she isn't an analytical machine like the red stickmen uses lol,
it's entirely different Frogman doesn't negate instinctive action.
This desperate solution is Asuna's grave.
It's true Frogman's body (likely including all his clones) gets obliterated if he does this, but it means all the AsuJaven clones, including the originals die.
Not just Red Stickmen, even other Frogmen (with really solid precog) cannot see Red Sabers of other Frogmen in the future (and I even mentioned it here), Asuna is heavily underestimating the consequences of
Tree Saber landing, further if she uses [fortune] to guarantee it. The '
Decay Burning' (also invisible to precog) has many and many sections about its adaptive power on FU pages, it will burn all from which Asuna wants to regen back or recover.
But namely, as Asuna used much of RE to combat
Golden Laser Storm (to which I still have much to say), Frogman uses his precog from that moment => Frogman sees Asuna's damage transferal happening => and he makes sure this gets rid of his enemy for good (as you mentioned, this eventually becomes hard-diff for Frogman even experienced as this).
- Damage Transferal (can transfer effects back, along with Statistics Reduction, upon a clone killed) [still of Stage 2, at Combat Stage 4 it's greatly buffed)
- Damage Transferal (can make 5 out of 41-80 clones transfer damage along changes, like transmutation and reality warping)
It's damage transferal triggered by damage transferal, at this rate so with so many clones capable to slay main Asuna and Javen even if they originally intended to just sacrifice their clones.
Worth mentioning Hecate should take damages here, as she is the only making "clones" from lasers (not actually being her clones, rather a better projectiles she can control with her IQ), in other words its super likely original Hecate survives this.
With attacks out of willpower, possibly even Frogman's BFR's Core will suffer some damages, but after a decent while of recovering (likely notable bigger than the original time should take), it regens back a weaker body of Stage 4 back, which with dimension travel can get through many universes back on the battlefield, where all AsuJaven clones are death.
That makes both Frogtace teammates alive (although tired), while Asujaven teammates are death => 2nd point I'm voting Frogtace here.
As for my third reason I'm voting Frogatece here,
it's actually that Frogman has a way against Fortune (and with hard-diff methods, he has means catch up and win even in the late game)
Assuming hecate manages to get Golden Saturn Waving it sort of becomes a 50/50 from there, since probability manipulations will conflict with each other. Neither are guaranteed, but both make each other equally as likely to hit each other considering that there is no exact percentage for this move on Hecate's page ever specified.
I feel like i am repeating myself here...
So i think i have reason to believe that this will either be Incon or an Asuven W, frogate's best option seems to be winning instantly somehow (Which is just a stomp and not able to be added lol) before [Fortune] can be used to save asuven, which is especially likely with the scenario froggy made where asuven has a GOLDEN opportunity to defend against
Golden Laser Storm using this and various other means (Get it
) and take frogate out before the time runs out, which will statistically be either very likely or a 50/50 if hecate can resist [Negate] to get rid of her own
probability manipulation (Which, again, isn't really specific on how much it buffs the luck on the profile, and has limited range and both induce very likely positive outcomes anyway). Spamming rewinds offensively, while a bit iffy and seems out-of-character to me, won't stop this as asuna will remember the rewinds due to a lack of acausality negation which froggy states is not on the profile. Thus asuven's own probability manipulation will kick in
"frogate's best option seems to be winning instantly somehow (Which is just a stomp and not able to be added lol) before [Fortune] can be used to save asuven"
Combat Stage4's hard diff arsenal, namely with Hecate's help capable of making trillions of calculations in a row and writing complex programs working on the first try
Not only there is the
Golden Saturn Waving, but Frogman himself has a triumph card in the later fight which can grant him the win even would everything other fail:
- Sandbox Saber - The skill of a highly experienced Stage 4 Frogman practicing for dozens of thousands of years reaches into capability to create his own Saber Modes suiting his goals and personality. Although it's mostly used for developing new personalized moves, with enough time a Saber developed against a specific enemy can be altered, containing new specifically merged powers from the 'Red Laser Ability Pool'.
Normally, to create custom Red Sabers, Frogman needs to practice with them and kinda alter them like "when a blacksmith crafts one, like trial and error". But Hecate's trillion operations in a row would allow to develop a functional saber plan in mid-battle, and Frogman can then draw it, functionating on the first attempt.
So my claim is, what prevents Frogman and Hecate from making a new Anti-Fortune Saber,
a new variant on which interferences of luck or fate have no effects? And not only that,
Sandbox Saber presents a way to catch up with Asuna evolving powers and Javen creating stuff from imagination even in the late game, which normally wouldn't be possible without Hecate.
That is for my third reason I'm voting for Frogtace FRA here, they show to not get left in the dust with RE and ways capable to avoid their attacks.
There are 2 disclaimers:
1) Due to my abstinence, hundreds of gigantic arguments accumulated here and I cannot reply to all of them. If there are some
really KEY arguments not replied to at all somewhere lying there in these 5 pages, I would like for them to be reposted so I can reply on them properly (in in short sadly, I still have busy schedule)
2) I will pull back my vote if a truly logical and solid method of Asujaven changing all said here appears, which I won't have arguments against
