Could Asuna fire off her attacks while Leaf Girl's Danmaku turns her into a DDR pro?
She could do that in the middle of her fight with Kedron, so yeah
Plus she’s already a DDR Pro from that fight lol
My point is, Devil Claw should be at least somewhat effective, especially with consecutive hits.
It definitely would be noticeable to Asuna, but she has a lot better willpower and pain tolerance feats than SMH, and her body would have been going through the most amount of pain her nerves could register, anyway, and she still shrugged it off. I feel it might be annoying, but again, Asuna has lots of ways to avoid a devil claw hit too as I’ve explained above.
Leaf girl would definitely be in a world of pain if asuna hits her in any way too, though. Asuna has a 4.5x AP edge, which won’t kill leaf girl on the spot, but it’d definitely hinder her too unless she has regeneration I’ve forgotten about.
Like you said, far faster opponents aren't new to Gorlfend FNF (she's had to deal with Leaf Man since the day he was born), so she should definitely have a way to hit Asuna, even with DDR pro levels of arcobatics combined with speed amps. Leaf Man's speed advantage was like borderline teleportation to Leaf Girl.
Yeah, that’s true, obviously, but Asuna will still be much faster than leaf girls’ attacks themselves, so she’s basically be seeing ‘em in slow motion, which, given that Asuna is a lot smarter in battle iq and has a way more versatile kit, she’d have plenty of time to figure out a way around anything leaf girl is throwing at her, and possibly even get around her aim-dodging, which seems to be how she deals with speed disadvantages like this one.
Leaf Girl tends to make sure her enemies don't escape, especially in this key. She tends to aimdodge for attacks that are faster than she is, which would work especially well at kilometers distance. She can also try to nullify Asuna's attacks with her own.
That’s also true, but what happens if Asuna starts attacking omnidirectionally around her through some riftway shenanigans, and leaf girls’ barriers are nullified, for example?
(By the way, Leaf Girl's profile is in desperate need of an overhaul. It won't change her fighting tactics much, just some ability additions and more explanations, mainly for her intelligence section, so a rematch would be cool after that's done.)
Indeed
