What does either one lead with?

Johan's favorite thing to do is stop a person dead in their tracks with a well-placed word or two that catches them off-guard, and then talk them into submission.

Not sure about Hinata though.

What does either one lead with?

Hinata starts with her passive ability, Perfect Beauty, and tries to incapacitate using it. While she's doing that she might look at her opponent's status.

 

[Psychomaster35]

Pretty sure passives > words when it comes to influencing, plus with higher durability Hinata will take it more times than not. Voting her.

I'm currently also thinking that Hinata has the better cards (I know, shocker).
Johan's social influencing is very impressive and can almost keep up with Hinata's in terms of results. However, Hinata's powers have a supernatural mind manipulating aspect to them in addition to social influencing, which is passive at that, which is more practical for a fight and harder to resist.
Johan will also have trouble analyzing Hinata while he is under these effects and psychologically analyzing her in detail isn't easy to begin with. She is a man that was genderbend against his will by supernatural means and, to a degree, had her emotions modified by a curse. That would make her psychologically a quite abnormal subject.

So that's a vote for Hinata?

 

[DontTalkDT]

I think I will wait with an official vote until at least one argument for Johan is made.

I think Liebert could just pull off a stealth and kill given the location. When he was not even ten years old, he managed to get away with poisoning the Eisler Memorial Hospital director (as well as two of the hospital's well-known doctors) and then escaping the hospital itself without being noticed, all while the building was still full of people. So I think he could pull it off.

I don't think her 10-A durability should be an issue, given the gap isn't too big and given the lack of scans. I don't think the feat is 10-A to begin with.

Thing is, stealth will not protect him against her passive social influencing + mind manip aura at all.

Also... by SBA (since nothing else is specified) those two start practically right beside each other. (Johan doesn't have his guns or connections here so those don't factor in)

Additionally, should Johan distance himself from her, Hinata's own Stealth Mastery also becomes a factor. And hers comes in form of a magical artefact that makes people unconsciously avoid looking at her. Magic is more troublesome than just normal hiding.

From what I've seen Hinata's ability didn't work on gay people and women in a certain village. So, if Johan isn't interested in the opposite gender he wouldn't be affected. Has he shown such behavior?
