(GRACE) Izuku Midoriya vs Taiyo Yozakura (MHA vs MYF) (0-7-0)

[Jackof_noTrades068]

Couldn't Deku predict that Taiyo would do this?

He "could" thing is, Deku in this key's prediction is only able to predict people decently faster than him. While Taiyo even in his first key when he was much worse at doing at using Stepping on Flowers. Against enemies on par with Taiyo's speed, its basically just a blitz, except Blooming Taiyo already is slightly faster. Deku would see Taiyo taking a step, now he's behind him. Also Taiyo has his own precog and can enhance his perception speed, so he would notice Deku trying to dodge or block things preemptively and can just change course.

And Deku's durability would mean that he isn't getting damaged by Taiyo's Amaterasu, unless it can jump up hundreds of kilotons with it's Even Higher rating. In this key, Deku usually starts with Blackwhip to capture or restrain Taiyo since, well, Standard Battle Assumptions means that Deku thinks Taiyo is a villain. Blooming Taiyo's Lifting Strength is 190890.23 Tons of Force while Deku's is 1498.10 Tons. Taiyo pretty easily rips off Blackwhip and Deku realizes that Taiyo is most likely way stronger than him. Deku'll go for immediate 15% and try again. Obviously, they're going to be moving and punching each other. Taiyo would get a good idea that Deku can't bench him, though he can punch really hard. But...wouldn't Deku genuinely one shot Taiyo with one punch?

He would because it’s a sword slash and his signature method of attack is his Blade Yae. Taiyo is really good at punching and kicking but this will be fist vs Blade for the most part. With pierce damage being a lot more effective than punches, so an Amaterasu slash punches above its weight. (As his punches in Blooming without the Blade are already High 7-C)
Deku can't one shot cause the AP gap is not large enough only way would be a head shot or something of the sort. Which is possible, but hard for Deku to land given Taiyo's powerset and him having more ways to amp speed. Taiyo will be extremely cautious of Deku’s power after the first hits he takes as well unless Deku’s first hit KO’s him which is unlikely, so he’d be more on guard.

We consider one shots on any point of the body as 8x or above in versus threads. While Deku is scaling to above 3.48x stronger in 15% (So the strength gap is extremely notable but not fatal) while Taiyo is only in Blooming. Taiyo also has his hardening giving him a higher rating for durability. Spring Blooming closes the gap to 2.55x compared to 15%. In addition Taiyo has low mid regen. So even if we say a kick from 15% Deku would damage an internal organ of his he'd heal and has the stamina to bear that kind of pain.

In addition, as stated in his justifications on Taiyo’s profile, he can use his true spring blooming to knockout 158 kiloton opponents in 1-2 hits. So Spring Blooming can make the gap to 15% much less drastic

He "could" thing is, Deku in this key's prediction is only able to predict people decently faster than him. While Taiyo even in his first key when he was much worse at doing at using Stepping on Flowers.

Also Taiyo has his own precog and can enhance his perception speed, so he would notice Deku trying to dodge or block things preemptively and can just change course.

Stepping on flowers's technique is detailed as follows:

• Stepping on flowers - The Hinagiku way of moving, a soft walking motion that absorbs all sound and resistance (being as silent as a flower petal falling to the ground), allowing the user to make delicate, swift movements so fast that enemies can't even see them. Although, until the silver rank exam, Taiyo's use of the technique was a simple imitation as it strains his body.

How In-Character is it for Taiyo to use Stepping on Flowers, and how often does he use or start with it? You did say that Taiyo would analyze Deku. How likely would Taiyo get hit by Deku in this period of analyzation?

He would because it’s a sword slash and his signature method of attack is his Blade Yae. Taiyo is really good at punching and kicking but this will be fist vs Blade for the most part. With pierce damage being a lot more effective than punches, so an Amaterasu slash punches above its weight. (As his punches in Blooming without the Blade are already High 7-C)

Gotcha.

Deku doesn't immediately go with amplifications. He would start with Blackwhip to restrain Taiyo. Of course, it would fail, so he'd amplify himself and try again, which he would fail again. What is Taiyo doing within these sequence of events? Deku after failing Blackwhip twice would go to analyze and fight Taiyo bare-knuckle style.

We consider one shots on any point of the body as 8x or above in versus threads. While Deku is scaling to above 3.48x stronger in 15% (So the strength gap is extremely notable but not fatal) while Taiyo is only in Blooming.

Gotcha



How likely is Taiyo to talk, if at all? The only real thing Deku can do here is use his Social Influencing. Deku does talk to his opponents, but it'd be things like "Who are you" "Who do you work for? All For One?" etc, etc. Unless Taiyo is obviously pure evil (Which the Adult key doesn't look like he is), Deku would be talking and fighting him.
