Kirin fights a different kind of Primal Dragon...

[Xmark12]

In one of Moebius' parallel worlds, the Battle Priestess of the Dragon Saviors is transported to a desolate future, faced with a Primal Dragon possibly stronger than any she's faced before...

Kirin

vs

The Beast

Rules:

• Speed Unequalized.
• Base EoS Kirin with all Image Pulses (Djinn's Wish and Golden Trillion are not allowed) vs. Kessler's Timeline Beast.
  • Though restrictions to Kirin's moveset, as it's vastly more versatile than the Beast, can be made.
  • Gunvolt is not allowed, meaning that Anthem is not allowed either.
• Other than those, SBA rules apply.

Later. Right now there is a Speed upgrade that puts GV Chars at 0.75c for travel so I wanna do that before this

 

[Xmark12]

We just make it speed equal then lol

Well. Prevasion is allowed so let me just explain that...

Breathes

Prevasion is an automatic intangibility defense that turns users into electrons. It costs part of a character specific resource, talismans for Kirin's case. So long as the user has their required resource, they've already "dodged" the attack, hence "Pre"vasion. By default, users are practically unhittable. As for the resource, that resource is rechargable, either on its own, or manually by the user. If one chooses the latter, all of the required resource is instantly restored to its absolute max. Combine this with Prevasion, and users can stall out anyone if they really wanted to (the games even call them "pseudo invincible" and even Matt in a interview just called you invincible). In character most users want to keep their resources topped and will always try to restore their resource, and they can become intangible even while restoring



...yea

Some extra notes on Kirin, and things Beast has to watch out for

Kirin's Azure Striker Abilities are basically her own, when the OP says "No Gunvolt", he refers to Kirin being unable to switch out with Gunvolt in battle, a feature mechanic in the game

Ray Sphere Energy vs Adepts: According to the profile, Non-Conduits essentially die instantly around Beast, if I recall, Conduits are genetic or biologic in nature, and Adepts do have biological factors that contribute into their powers, even if it's primarily psychic- Kirin could count as a Conduit here.

Sealing: Her sealing is actually broken, she can seal just about anything, including radiation itself (which she resists)- and probably any hax defenses that her opponent may have- and she can probably just throw Talismans instead of hitting Beast to seal him for good and then kill him after sealing his regen like she did with Moebius-Gunvolt, who has Mid G Regen. In addition, she does the classic arcade mode three way shots (in 2D) that can just be mashed, so she really just has to aim in the general direction of Beast and she should be able to get him with the shotgun spread.

Resistance to Radiation: Kirin can just... stand right next to a star made by a person who is equivalent to the sun in terms of radiation made by a very very casual Zed which she later beats when he's serious. So she could at least survive for awhile

Healing: She has like, so many different forms of these, while the Beast may have around a 4.5x AP advantage, it won't help all that much if she's healing all of that off. She can last pretty much indefinitely with healing (in the video, the player decided to die when he had healing image pulses ready). Even if she dies, she also has a Resurrection Image Pulse to just... undie

AP and Defense Boosts: Like healing, she has all kinds of passive (and activatable) physical buffs that will help close the gaps in AP. In addition, Kirin's most important fights (Zed and Moebius fights) are fights against people that are significantly stronger than her, more of her damage comes from DPS combos and Image Pulse spam layering anyways

One Shot Kill moves: Jota's Phosphatorium, Elise's Petrification, Tenjian's AZ, Copen's Greed Snatcher (which would insta kill Mid G Regens and people who have unlimited life force to just not die + ressurection) are all moves that Kirin can spam one after another, I'm not sure if Beast resists them (I can't see em on the sheet rn lol)

Image Pulses in General have huge amounts of AoE and damage as well, and Kirin can kinda just spam them all at once which is funny but true, and it can limit the options Beast has to teleport along with her own shotgun like sealing

Beast's Black Holes: Kirin has had her concepts of spacetime shattered, EE'd, and Killed entirely with AZ- Black Holes warp spacetime at extreme levels using gravity to obviously kill people, while it's through a different method, the result, the opponent's spacetime being completely screwed up is. Also, Quasar Collapse exists, but it's not a black hole even tho it looks like it lmao. Kirin's also faced up against Moebius (who may have Black Holes but there's no extra lore content for GV3), Moebius wields attacks that draw you in that honestly kind of look like a Black Hole, and Kirin has to teleport with her Arc Chain (which she spams in character thats her whole gameplay) to escape- so she could do the same thing here if Beast tries to lift her up and lock her up, though Kirin's LS should actually be able to contest or break through being locked up anyways.

Beast's Teleportation: Kirin's most important fights are when she's fighting other people who just straight spam the ever living daylights out of teleportation (Zed and Moebius Gunvolt)

The below are things that need to pass a CRT before we continue, because I forgot that crap

Beast's Matter Manipulation: Beast controls electrons, so in theory he could negate Kirin's Prevasion- however- Azure Strikers (even inexperienced ones like Berserk Blade) can also control electrons to negate Copen's Prevasion, yet Primal Dragon GV can't get through Kirin's Prevasion, meaning his interaction with it is the same with how he couldn't just manipulate Gunvolt's electrons when he Prevades. While other Azure Strikers that perhaps have more control over the ability pierce it, they didn't simply just disperse Kirin to oblivion- so Kirin should have some resistance to the ability. Gunvolt also prevades deconstruction since Zonda tried it with Paradise Lost (though it was Prevaded, it still somehow hurt GV, so it managed to affect a Macro Quantum thing, yet it doesn't actually damage). You can also argue that maybe Kirin resists it because AZ shatters things on an atomic level and she fights Tenjian-... wait it's macro quantum. Either way, since Moebius-Gunvolt (stronger than Asimov but a long shot) controls electrons to negate Kirin's Prevasion instead of just tearing her apart, I feel like at the best Beast will just be able to damage Kirin with attacks

(EDIT: nvm Kirin just dies lol, stomp)

Beast's Power Nullification: Simply put, Kirin resisted Greed Snatcher, which is just an even more broken Power Null, Beast has to touch her anyways while she teleporting everywhere like Minato- a melee attack isn't gonna hit her, Beast is gonna have to pull out the complex Mega Man patterns to do it





I'm not gonna say Kirin wins but there's not gonna be a "[Insert Hax] GG" moment, I don't feel like arguing this rn since there's a lot of GV CRT stuff to do like Lifting Strength (possibly Class G stuff), Zed's Profile, Speed stuff, Skill blog, etc
