Is being able to fight while blind considered Skill or Enhanced Senses?

[RandomGuy2345]

I've been meaning to ask this question for a bit.

I've seen quite a few people used feats like fighting while blind a skill feat (I was even told that before), but I've recently seen people say that fighting while blind is considered Enhanced Senses. That's what has been bothering me for a bit.

Here's an example I've used that was dismissed as a skill feat, but from the recent threads I've seen, I'm not sure if it's a Skill feat or Enhanced Senses.

Depends on the context, but typically speaking it's a bit of both.

So what about the link I gave in the thread? Is that a skill feat or enhanced senses?

I'm unfamiliar with the verse so I can't say for sure, but given the fact that it's a children's cartoon that's full of gags I'd say it's more along the lines of sensory capabilities.

Depends on the context. If the character has good enough other senses then they may be able to fight even without their sense of sight. Daredevil is blind, but makes up for it with his "radar sense", for instance. However a character may be able to fight while blind via predicting his opponents next move or something, and countering accordingly.

Video you linked is unavailable for me btw

Thanks for the input!

In any case, it depends on the context. But most likely, it will come under enhanced senses. Like I could - theoretically - with closed eyes throw my hands around by following the sound of my "opponent" but I have literally 0 skills, so I can't use that as my justifications for martial arts, for example. So, yes, would be enhanced senses, although depending on the context, it can be nothing as well.

Not shocked.

Does this link work?

 

[Confluctor]

Nope

Just want to point out I don’t think Johnny Test never have any enhanced sense feats as far as I am aware, but he does have ninja DNA which probably helps with reflexes.

Not shocked once again.

I posted another link.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Nope

These links never work.

I found other videos from the same episode, but the quality sucks.

To elaborate, Johnny pops 2 water balloons with a badge while blind.

Yeah, it has to do with being in different countries and stuff which is a pain in the neck. I think VPN can bypass that kind of restriction iirc.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Does this link work for anyone here?

This works for me since I am in US. However, I will think there may been some feats we overlooked that might count as enhanced sense and not just a skill feat as that is 1 scene out of a buncha episodes.

Wdym?

I mean like feats that suggest Johnny being able to hear or smell something pretty far away or some other feats that suggest he has more than a average human sensor capabilities.

It can be both, depending on the situation - generally speaking.

Even if granted as a special ability, it can be enhanced senses or extrasensory perception.

AFAIK most "fighting in the dark" and "fighting while blinded, blindfolded or blind" are just enhanced senses. (Daredevil (Marvel Comics), All For One, Jinx (G.I. Joe Movie), etc)

It can be arguable though on some more "realistic" characters like Ip Man (Donnie Yen).

Are you able to see link I posted?

Johnny was able "sense" that it was cleaning day before his dad entered the room with all of his cleaning material.

Oh, that seems to been a enhanced sense feat i think, specifically smell anyway.

 

[MonkeyOfLife]

The op link, looks like enhanced senses

 

[RandomGuy2345]

So has everyone who can see the original link posted in the thread came to a consensus that it's a Enhanced Senses feat?

Anyone?

 

[RandomGuy2345]

I'd like to assume yes, but I'm not too sure.
