Hobin Yoo self-explanatory abilities downgrade. (Viral Hit) (PTJ verse)

[BestMGQScalerEver]

Some of the abilities seemed a bit wanky so here are the ones I proposed to be removed/downgraded.

Hobin Yoo

Hobin Yoo is a scrawny highschool student who ends up becoming the star of the Newtube Channel Viral Hit. Having always been bullied in the past, no one expected him to star in this fight focused channel. But with the teachings of a mysterious mentor called Fighting Rooster, Hobin has since then...

Forgot to add the tag for the character oops.

Damage Reduction (A staple move of his to reduce damage taken[7])

I don't think this is enough to be listed as Damage Reduction as he's just moving his head infront of the attack to lessen the impact which is more of a skill feat rather than literal damage reduction ability. At best I suggest this just be changed to limited as it's very specific on what it works against instead of having all around practicality.

Status Effect Inducement (Has various attacks from blinding, damaging the joints, tearing up muscle, and disorienting someone by clapping their ear drums[8][6])

Seems self explanatory. There is no status effect inducement but literally just disabling the opponent with normal physical combat. We don't give sleep manipulation for knocking someone out. This reads out as a skill feat.

Pain Infliction (His calf kicks can induce so much pain that those who received it can't move[4]. His Muay Thai Elbow aimed at the foot induces so much pain[3])

Same as status effect inducement. This isn't pain manipulation, it's just hitting someone really hard in a vulnerable area.

Fear Inducement (Can scare people off after attacking them[4][9].)

This is not fear manipulation as it requires to be inflicted via supernatural means. I suggest moving this to social influencing.

High Pain Tolerance, Supernatural Willpower (In his fights with Taehoon and others, he pushes himself up despite the heavy amount of damage and pain he takes[5][6])

This is not supernatural willpower because it's not going so far above what humans can take nor really resistance to pain manipulation but should be moved to stamina instead.

[Epiccheev]

Yeah, agreed.
Status effect inducement in special has to go.

 

[MysticCarnage]

Agreed, btw I also made a thread debunking his speed calculations so could you check it out when your free

Not my type of thread so I'm afraid not.

Limited Damage Reduction should work since he still frequently uses it among other variants of weakening blows.

Everything else makes sense. Tbh you can apply this to all of PTJ-verse

 

[Kachon123]

I agree with the OP

 

[ElajRuengies]

I think basically every profile Cloudyagami had ever made listed High Pain Tolerance and linked Pain Manipulation for some reason- it's a problem for the PTJ Verse as well as a bunch of other profiles...

Also agree.

Yeah that was kinda a feedback loop of me seeing a profile and going "Oh. That must be how things are done here. That's what I'll do" and not realizing that was Cloudy's own thing.

I'll have to reorganize everything but hey at least I'm back

 

[yoloninja3000]

Agree with the OP on the removals

i should catch up to the series, like ihave with lookism.

 

[Serlock_Holmes]

Agree FRA.

Limited damage reduction probably fits.

Latest Viral Hit is alright. If you read the first half you're fine.

Though Johan did appear in Manager Kim and is going to get a skill up upgrade

 

[DeltaStriker22]

Agreed except for Damage Reduction.
It should be changed to limited.
