Taven's canon use of Time Stop was when he got it, iirc, and it was the first thing he used (the game kinda forces its use). As he has no exact "first move" noted in the profile or in-game, there's no reason to believe it wouldn't be the first thing he'd use.
Taven's fights are all in-game and it is a resource usable only on the adventure mode, when it enters the "battle mode" even inside of it, the player can't use, so there's no counter to the line "Taven would start the fight using Time Stop"

With that all said, afaik both have baseline L6-B AP and Dura, and are equalized on a very high speed, meaning 7 seconds is A LOT.

So 7 seconds of MHS+ attacks of Baseline AP with no response is enough to gg...so despite me putting not a single faith on Taven when I put him on the tournament, I believe he takes this lmao

Taven's opponent has resistance to time stop...

Any hax that Taven has to worry about though? Taven is around the top skillled fighters in MK

 

[noninho]

Well, somehow I didn't check the other tab of the resistances in Lavi's profile, that's my bad

Well, Taven is a skilled melee fighter, has a sword, groundpounds, stops time and can TP.
Oh yeah, he can use Fire for some stuff

The only thing that would be effective here is if his opponent didn't resist TS, cuz the rest he doesn't use so much

Gg

As said above, Time Stop won't be useful here since Lavi resists it. I do believe this fight will come down to mostly AP, with sprinklings of skill and abilities. Because of this, I think a general idea of Lavi's AP scaling is in order to actually compare and contrast these two characters.

Lavi's AP scaling comes from being relative in strength with a holding back Sword of Exorcism Allen Walker. This Allen Walker is superior compared to his Crown Clown version, who is capable of oneshotting Level 3 Akuma, who are capable of oneshotting Bookman, who is capable of tanking 1.7 teratons.

So from this scale alone, Lavi is scaling above a multitude of oneshot differences at 1.7 teratons. Given the comparability in raw statistical values here, I believe this should give Lavi a pretty hefty AP advantage in this situation, unless Taven has similar scaling that can counteract this.

Lavi's skill is decently good, he's capable of keeping up with Allen Walker and Yu Kanda, who're both gifted combatants. But because that section of his profile is undefined and not-revised, I won't comment much on his skill in this fight. It should at least be enough to keep up with Taven from what I know about these two characters.

Lavi also has some decent abilities like he can summon large bolts of lightning to scorch Taven. He can create large snakes of fire that will continually duplicate if sliced in half. He can reflect physical attacks by producing counter-force with his hammer. He can manipulate the size of his hammer freely, allowing him to catch opponent's off-guard with it.

There are some other things, but most of them aren't important in this situation since Taven isn't a demon, making Innocence related effects useless in this fight.

I believe, with what I laid out above, that Lavi should win this fight given his substantial AP advantage, decently relative skill, and abilities which either aren't resisted by Taven, or ones that can be used to catch Taven off-guard.

I only thought this fight was possible cuz I didn't see Lavi's resistance to TS

The same number of resistances is of things that may surprise him, and he's also not that durable (literally no feats back up his rating lol)
RIP Taven, another round of this tournament that sucked ass

 

[Deceived3596]

Absolutely tragic.

I just know that Taven has beaten several Low 6-B characters including ones that are very top tier and a few who were under a power boost, not to mention that he has a lot of wins that give him some skill feats, including experience with far more unique abilities

Taven's teleportation could be a game changer here seeing how he has used it appropriately

 

[noninho]

Well, how would Lavi answer to this possibility?

 

[First_Witch]

Bump

How exactly does the teleportation work?

I'd need to see how it works before commenting on if Lavi has sufficient counters to it or not.

Well, his TP isn't to that much far away unless his dragon servant makes a portal to him
It's instant and usually behind the enemies

According to konquest mode it's like tens of meters, and you can actually choose where you'll end up, even teleport in place
