That is close.Close and "Alita wins 8 fights out of 10" is not something you can call close
Yeah and? Kaneki doesn't need an advantage in a fight for it to be fair either.Kaneki in this form can only avoid Hertza, while Alita, as you described, can negate his kagune. She either detonates it upon first physical contact or neutralizes its power, as you described earlier.
Their heightened senses overlap.
Their instinctive actions overlap.
Their analytical prediction and information analysis overlap.
Their accelerated perception overlaps.
Kaneki's advantage in reaction and attack speed and Alita's skills overlap.
Hertza, which Alita relies on completely in battle, completely overlaps Kaneki's regeneration.
So, we have Kaneki with no advantage in this fight. You mentioned LS, but to use it, you need a hit, which, from what you've written, is impossible without being hit by Hertza. Moreover, you said that she can somehow neutralize his power.
Yeah so its a win con that bypasses his regen. Nothing wrong with that, that's an example of close/fair match.You've already said that she relies primarily on close combat, almost excluding ranged combat. You also said that her fighting style is based on hertza. There's no reason to take its regenerative abilities into account if they're neutralized by her main move.
Gives Alita an advantage she'll be able to analyze his body.Noticing each other early won't give them an advantage, especially considering they both have acrobatics and heightened senses.
Just makes the arguments more limited but I don't say to give them it.This match would be ruined even if both sides had prior knowledge, because Alita is a mirror image of Kaneki, only with Overhaul's touch-kill ability.
Unfair≠mismatch if that's what you're tryna argue. Just means the fights harder for one side to win.I called it close when I thought hertza was some kind of special move and trump card. But if she relies on it as heavily as Kaneki does on his kaguna, that's unfair. At the very least, Kaneki can't create a kaguna indefinitely, while Alita can use hertza without limit. Also, hertza neutralizes a kagune when it hits, but a kagune doesn't neutralize hertza.
So not gonna vote?If hertza is a full-blown dura neg, then you could remove the kakuji limitation. Otherwise, I'm leaning toward Foriaa's opinion.
