You guys do know Cirno resist time slow, right?
That just leaves him stuck in one place. His acrobatics aren't good enough to dodge mid-air. As for the fligh thing: Every fight in Touhou takes place in the air. Technically her using it is in character, but she's never fough a ground locked opponent.
Problem: Cirno has a huge movement speed advantage. I don't know if you know this, but speed equalisation is specifically tied to combat speed, with all others being the same relative to it. Cirno has two ends, both of which scale movement and combat speed to eachother. Travis, however, has a huge gap between the two (Hypersonic+ to Subsonic). He's not running anywhere.
Fair.
I am aware of this but it depends how high she chooses to fly, if she's just two meters above the air, it isn't too much of a factor. Plus, the higher she hovers the less of a threat she is given her range is relatively low.
He can teleport if needed, I guess, dunno if that's super in character. His speed amps also extend to his movement speed too.
I would like to ask actually, why is assumed that the circle works on everything? The scan just says it works on projectiles and even mentions a different effect it has on people who come close.
That doesn't really make sense. Either she has 2-C durability (or at least resistance to fire), or that doesn't really work.
I mean, that's what I'd assume, she can't really be chucking them all by hand.
I mean, fair enough, but that's just "generic" danmaku dodging, heat doesn't play a role.
Shots, nothing really, if he gets up close I wouldn't really value her odds though, depending on how strong the slowdown is. And if he's got a speed amp going, she's straight-up toast if he gets in. It's not even a skill thing I just don't think dodging danmaku and dodging attacks in melee are really the same skillset
Depends on the height. If it's like 3 meters it's not an issue, if it's 30 it is but then she also can't threaten him cause her range is only tens of meters. There's definitely a sweet-spot where it's really hard to counter but Cirno doesn't exactly seem like a tactician to me
It definitely is more than that. Compare the axe guys' windup animation slowed down and at full speed. Slowed down it takes 40-ish frames for the swing to start, at full speed (16:35) it's 7 frames.
Explicitly fast enough for them to be unable to react to it
I mean I wouldn't really say any of that inherently implies superior range
I mean the beam katana is just a beam of energy, it doesn't shine on fire or anything.
Ah
Yeah I think it's his main wincon here
Hitting a target accurately gets way harder the further away you are, so I think it's safe to assume that most people can throw shit a lot farther than they can throw it accurately. It's like comparing how far someone can throw a baseball vs how far someone can throw a baseball and get a strike at the same time.
Wouldn't Travis be more likely to open with his fireballs anyways? Idk if he'd really go straight for melee at a range of 30 meters against someone who can fly (and frequently does so).
Melee is basically always his bread and butter even at range, if necessary he'll bust out other stuff but that's his thing.
Alright, how much do they slow down, you said by 50%-ish?
He's gonna have to deal with danmaku throughout that entire 30-meter sprint, which doesn't make his odds of getting in close super likely imo. Also consider that he's not gonna be moving in a straight line, given that he's gonna have to dodge the entire time. If it's alright, I also wanna bring up Cirno's passive cold aura, which probably won't fuck Travis up too bad but is just one more thing he's gonna have to deal with.
Yyyyyyes? It's kinda hard to tell lmao
