Is this Resistance to Analytical Prediction?

[Ser_Hakim_Dayne]

Arya Stark can see a blow coming before it begin:

"Both men laughed, but then, the older one swung his fist at her, casually, as a man would swat a dog. Arya saw the blow coming even before it began. She danced back out of the way, untouched."

But Syrio Forel can easily hit her:

His sword was blur, and the Small Hall echoed to the clack clack clack. "Left. Left. High. Left. Right. Left. Low. Left!"
The wooden blade caught her high in the breast, a sudden stinging blow that hurt all the more because it came from the wrong side. "Ow," she cried out. She would have a fresh bruise there by the time she went to sleep, somewhere out at sea. A bruise is a lesson, she told herself, and each lesson makes us better.
Syrio stepped back. "You are dead now."
Arya made a face. "You cheated," she said hotly. "You said left and you went right."
"Just so. And now you are a dead girl.
"But you lied!"
"My words lied. My eyes and my arm shouted out the truth, but you were not seeing."
"I was so," Arya said. "I watched you every second!"
"Watching is not seeing, dead girl. The water dancer sees."

No, you can hit anyone with Analytical Prediction, or Precognition if you are faster then the opponent's reaction time.

Well, Arya can react to Syrio's blows in the feat.

Not the point I was making. Even if I can see into the future, if someone shoots me with a gun, I won't be able to do anything about it. It's not because the gun has resistance to prediction, it's because I am physically unable to keep up.

To have resistance to prediction, you need statements flat out saying you can't be predicted.

I get your point but Arya is physically able to keep up Syrio's blows, she does it right before in the feat:

His sword was blur, and the Small Hall echoed to the clack clack clack. "Left. Left. High. Left. Right. Left. Low. Left!"

Even in real life, just because you can dodge an attacker three times, does not mean you can dodge them a hundred times. She was doing good, then she got hit, it has nothing to do with him outdoing her analysis.

I don't think this example applies to analytical prediction, and especially for this example, because Arya was always able to parry Syrio's blows, and didn't parry the last one because Syrio lied to her.
If Syrio had no resistance to the analytical prediction, Arya could logically have blocked the blow, as she has done dozens of times just before.

I feel like you're just going to count it as Resistance to Analystic Prediction no matter what I say, so go ahead. I already told you it isn't. Analytical Prediction is not flawless, nor is it perfect, and neither is the person using it. They will make mistakes, or meet someone who is just better than them, despite their predictions.

That is not resistance, it's simply a natural limit.

Well, I guess this character probably shouldn't have Resistance to Analytical Prediction either?

Yes. At the moment this is what we count Analytic Prediction as;

Analytical Prediction, in which a user predicts the actions of others, as well as their consequences, through analysis of the factors involved.

If you have resistance to it, that means they shouldn't be able to predict your actions in the first place or their consequences. If I attack, and someone predicts my attack and counters, and then I predict their counter and counter their counter, it's not that they couldn't predict me. It's just I am more skilled and better at predictions, and as such thought one step ahead.

I'm just skeptical of your arguments, but you might be right.

I would like to have more opinions (not that i think yours is bad though)

 

[CodeCCLL]

ActuallySpaceMan42 is right.

You have to have statements like these to resist analytical prediction.

"Hero an existence which surpasses logic, their movements can't be predicted."

 

[Ser_Hakim_Dayne]

Okay, i think the thread can be closed, thanks for your answers
