Thanks. Does it work differently than in the manga?Agnaa said:Bite the dust. Kira's stand, the antagonist of part 4. The one that rewinds time.PaChi2 said:What is BTD again?
Not taken into account. Bookmaker will make him dumber than her anyway.DMB 1 said:Also, we should take into consideration that Kars is most likely massively more intelligent than her.
Nope. Bookmaker makes Kaars absolutely equal to Medaka.Firephoenixearl said:Not taken into account. Bookmaker will make him dumber than her anyway.DMB 1 said:Also, we should take into consideration that Kars is most likely massively more intelligent than her.
Besides, Medaka doesn't need to outsmart Kars, just use her stuff.
Ever since the Jill Presto VS Medaka thread, Fire has got it in his head that altering the past automatically wins over altering the present, even if both abilities get off at the same time in the present. This isn't actually untrue, as killing someone in the past would undo them killing you in the present... but he's extrapolated this to say that All Fiction works by affecting the past due to the whole "erase both cause and effect" thing. Which is never actually made explicit or really even implied, and only refers to All Fiction anyway, not book maker.Agnaa said:Why do "battle rules" mean that bookmaker goes off before anything else? What do you mean by "battle rules"?
Youre exuding the fact kq wont and d4c wont even be effected from one having feats of being unefected by what happened and being separate and kq being literally a power that was told and convinced that his user was a coward and ultimate a cool man and he should work for him .Firephoenixearl said:Bookmaker already takes care of all the stands @J-man.
@Sir Ovens....U srsly asked that? xD "How does bookmaker activate without screws?" Bookmaker is literally the skill that spawns screws xD. If i may use the meme Velo used to say "screws, screws everywhere".
Bookmaker will be the first thing to activate in this match via battle rules as being a negation type of skill. So all of the stand skills (time stop, time rewind, paradox, literally everything else) will be after Bookmaker, but the point is there is nothing after bookmaker. None of the stands will be able to take action, they won't "exist" (not literally not exist, just not be in the fight anymore). So there is nothing that can happen after Bookmaker, but Battle Rules prevent anything from happening before it.
Kars' can't negate Bookmaker (and none of his stands can either as they will be unable to do anything after Bookmaker is used).
Ummm no.Firephoenixearl said:@Agnaa Battle Rules say Power Negating abilities (power null, type 2 sealing) will go off before normal activation. The same thing happened with Medaka vs Jill. Medaka tries to use anything...no Jill nulled that (despite it being speed equalized). In this battle it is translated as literally Medaka's Bookmaker ticks off first.
That's because it isn't.Agnaa said:@Fire Which "battle rules"? I've never heard that before, even though I've been in many threads with characters who can power null/seal, AND I can't find anything about it in Versus Thread Rules or Standard Battle Assumptions.
Bookmaker: A skill that turns a plus into a minus.PaChi2 said:"Book Maker: A Minus copied from Kumagawa, allowing Medaka to impale her foe with a special screw that brings the target's body, spirit, technique, intellect, and talent down to Kumagawa's level. Although the attack itself does virtually no damage, the screw "soils the heart", which can destroy the ambition and drive of most individuals. (from the fact that Bookmaker turns a plus into a minus)"
Bookmaker has only been used by Kumagawa. this is false. It brings the others to the user's level.
It isn't a battle rule, though it's treated like one. As it's logical that a power null will nullify a power the moment it's activated.Monarch Laciel said:That's because it isn't.Agnaa said:@Fire Which "battle rules"?

Fire is incorrect, plain and simple.
They don't go off quicker or slower than the other though.Agnaa said:@Monarch Even that explanation from Jill's thread sounds weird when you say it now. While it's true that if retroactive abilities go off first, even by the infinitesimally smallest amount, they would actually be first by a huge margin, speed equalized means they'd both go off at the same time, so shouldn't it still be inconclusive due to being "who shoots first with speed equalized"?
If you did the match repeatedly it'd be around a 50/50 split because of one happening to react/decide infinitesimally quicker and kill the other before the other's ability can go off.
Not gonna stop Bookmaker. The screw can be spawned inside someone and the screw is not physical anyway. (already established non corporeality or intangability won't work)Sir Ovens said:I said this before, screws won't work on Kars as he has Dune intangibility. Try stabbing sand with a screwdriver and see if it sticks. Kars won't be affected by Bookmaker thanks to Dune.
Again, no.Firephoenixearl said:It isn't a battle rule, though it's treated like one. As it's logical that a power null will nullify a power the moment it's activated.
If anything happens (is activated), null is also activated at the same time, nulling any effect the skill may have.
^^^Monarch Laciel said:They don't go off quicker or slower than the other though.
Both are thought-activated instantly-hitting abilities. So the one that retroactively stops the other from working wins.
Wrong.Monarch Laciel said:Again, no.
It would depend entirely on the mechanics of the null, and bookmaker, which prevents the character from using their abilities, can't seal an ability that has already activated and had it's effect go off.
Bookmaker is permanenent (unless the user takes it from you).Agnaa said:Well that makes sense, but only since it's retroactive. Fire's wrong since bookmaker is ongoing, not retroactive.
Medaka has her Analysis quirk as well. Besides, are we going to assume he can bypass the absolute destruction that is caused by copying a minus?Sir Ovens said:But Kars has the understand. Once he looks at Medaka, he understands how she works and can do a plethora of things to get past Bookmaker. Medaka on the other hand needs to see Kars do something before she can copy, if she can even copy Kars.
Kars can D4C away and spam clones at Medaka.
If I can fire a bullet from a gun at you by pulling a trigger, and you have the ability to paralyse my arm by pulling a trigger, you still won't stop the bullet if we both pull the triggers at the same time.Firephoenixearl said:Wrong.
Bookmaker can seal passives and even literal parts of you being (which are again passive). You have a passive IQ of 130, not an activatable one.
So no Bookmaker does work under the Null > activation.
No, it's more like this.Agnaa said:If I kill you, and you take a second to die, while you simultaneously kill me, we both die. However, if I kill you, and you take a second to die, while you simultaneously kill me and retroactively erase the history where I killed you, then you'd live.
This isn't about nullification, it's about causality. Even if you removed my ability to kill you at the same time I killed you, you'd still die.
