The Hunt will Never End: Minamoto no Raikou vs Kamen Rider Kuuga

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Since my Zhongli vs Raikou was considered as stomp, i'll make an another Raikou matches that hopefully would'nt ended stomp. Also i originally wanted to use Gaim but i'm still waiting his revision to comes out so yeah, another Kuuga matches because why not lel, anyway....

Escaped from the hunt shortly after his fight the Demon Sergeant, Yusuke stumbled an yet again, another problem.
The Legendary Monster Exterminator are now on his way, tasked to hunt the bearer of terrifying ancient power that can terrorized the entire nation, Minamoto no Yorimitsu (or Raikou), now in the front of Yusuke challenged him in the fight! Yusuke must survive an another hellish situation, will he survive this time or Raikou successfully defeated him?

So Raikou should have the overall skill advantage. While Kuuga is no slouch the Shimousa stuff is a bit too much for my brain.

Now this fight basically boil down to "Will Raikou use her NP before everything explode". Not sure if Servant resistances to explosion will work against Kuuga's mark or just general everything goes boom from Amazing Mighty Kick.

I saw the video and honestly I think they can resist, the explosion seem to come from the energy in the kick transfered to the enemy, Servants have resistance because of be unaffected by the mana of the age of gods which is so potent that humans explode by it, both are explosion made by energy so in principle I believe they resist, if considered that Mana Resistance would on top probbaly reduce the effect of the energy then Raikou should resist. This is my opinion at least.

So Raikou seem to have the skill advantage and AP since she scale considerably above the 26.6 GT calc and Kuuga seem to be 33.35 GT (the calc is directly of him so this is his exact AP right?), Kuuga have better mobility to help him and good versatility, but in principle I think Raikou can win most of the times.

day 3 of searching the exact number of mountains

but yeah, raikou has high stats, further buffed by mad enhancement, further buffed by mana burst lightning. Not sure if mystery slayer triggers here, considering that his nickname is "the ancient mightty warrior" I'm gonna guess yes. She should have the skill and AP advantage (massive for the former), but I doubt she would use her np in a situation where she is stronger

 

[Expectro2000xxx]

It could depend, I'm also not sure if the buff against mystic would active but just because of his base Rank A Strength she should have the AP advantage that can futher go up with at least Mana Burst but Kuuga I think also have amps and RE so that could help in that regard, and while probably isn't gonna begin with the NP maybe she could decide to use it depending of the situation.

So Raikou has the AP advantage + amps and skill. However, if she decides to use electrical powers and it is in character, Kuuga will get powered up by it rather than get hurt.

What has mystery slayer trigger on before?

Edit: So I saw it on her profile. I don't think Kuuga doesn't categorize in Monsters, Demons, Magical Users, Legendary Heroes/Divine or anything of that sort.

Kuuga also evolves whenever he goes into a life threatening position so I could see that coming into play here.

This is my opinion at least.

I think this depends on whether he hits her directly or not, if he directly hits her, she explodes from the inside out. This would depend on her durability. If her durability is high enough to tank it, then Kuuga will have to get multiple hits off.
However, I think that if the mark doesn't trigger on her directly, I think she resists it.

it's definitively in character, but how is it defined? resistances shouldn't work because mana burst work on magic resistance, so it has like 10 layers, and she has magic resistance, which resist power null. Well it's likely to be absorption tho so it should work

What has mystery slayer trigger on before?

it triggers on mystery which is like... a very broad term for pretty much anything old or mystic
definition of mystery:
It is the source of all supernatural phenomena such as Magecraft or ESP, and beings such as True Ancestors, Dead Apostles, Servants, Spiritual Bodies, as well as Phantasmal Species show signs of Mystery.[1][2][3] Mystery accumulates over time and grows stronger with age.

Kuuga also has evolves whenever he goes into a life threatening position so I could see that coming into play here.

RPL could come in handy and scores some win yes, altho it's not like raikou would not go for lethal with every move

I think this depends on whether he hits her directly or not, if he directly hits her, she explodes from the inside out. This would depend on her durability. If her durability is high enough to tank it, then Kuuga will have to get multiple hits off.

I think it was agreed in the last thread (astolfo against someone from kamen rider) that while the resistance doesn't give immunity to the explosion, it should still partially apply and reduce the damages

Electricity basically powers his belt. "By allowing himself to be a conduit for electricity to power the Amadam, Yusuke obtained upgraded versions of his standard forms, boosting his stats and power".

You can make a case for original Kuuga who is the ancient warrior but Kuuga in this era is just a random dude who came across a belt and is now Kuuga so I don't think it triggers on him.

Agreed. Kuuga in this case would have to score multiple direct hits or indirect blasts from his kick.

Oh, if he can absorb the lightnings then she would become hesitant to use them after notice that, that would seal or at least restrict her Mana Burst (worst case she don't use it and best case she have caution to use it in a way that wouldn't mean power up Kuuga), that give more chances to Kuuga but at the same time that can encourage more Raikou to use her NP, specially the clones with different elements because of the weapons.

I could see clones being a detriment to her tho if he can kick them to produce the blast. Of course, this would be a different story if they resist just like her but even then, if one goes off, it would start a chain reaction.

 

[Expectro2000xxx]

This is aside from the battle but since Kuuga have a bike I suddenly thought that it could maybe be interesting a match between him with his bike and Kintoki Rider.

 

[Expectro2000xxx]

In principle the clones are as durable as her and also have her resistances, so I don't think he could affect them, and they have significantly more AP and numbers while maintaining the same skill of the main body, so it would be pretty bad for Kuuga if they come out.

oof, that would be bad. But can they fly tho, Kuuga can fly on his Gouram to avoid them if they can't.

I still think Kuuga can keep up and damage them if he gets hit by the Lightning.

 

[Expectro2000xxx]

No, but the clones as copies of Raikou are able to jump several meters and use other things as plataforms to jump (a descendant of Raikou (Ushiwakamaru) have showed to use her own copies to jump so Raikou would surely do the same if needed) and one of the copies use a bow to attack from distance.

 

[Apeironaxim]

i'm just curious, why Raikou?

I mean more power to ya, cause I don't really recall her being used before you started to give her a bunch of matches Velox, but i'm curious why her?

is it cause big booba

She is best mom of Fate and need more love (not that she get little but more is better).

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

I should mention that Kuuga explosion are a bit different than any of Riders explosion has shown, since most of the time Gurongi's can supressed the explosion mark, however Kuuga can still made them destroyed in contact with some of the abilities he had or used a more powerful moves, that granted him an ability to bypassing explosion resistance

Even so it's still a weird analogy from mine

Wanting her to be Tomoe Mami 2.0

Well that's because she's most flexible servants to use, mad skills, good resistances, and good versitality

And well aside Raikou i also made some of Saber Astolfo matches, and if they getting their profiles, i would spam Dioscuri and LB6 Gang Servants (but mostly Melusine and Sith) matches a lot

 

[Apeironaxim]

good resistances

looks at a large amount of Servant resistances being 4D

indeed lmao

Well, even so that's comes from the haxes resistance lel

Yea, this is basically why I think that the summons could be a detriment as Kuuga's AOE is huge which could cause a lot of collateral damage.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Huh, so i'm not entirely wrong

 

[Jamesthetaker]

Not voting yet but Raikou are above him in almost every aspects and Kuuga need to finish the fight as quickly as possible. I will argue for Kuuga's explosive mark affecting Raikou due to him overcoming Gurongi resistance with stronger attack, however her better AP and skills make it very difficult to perform neatly.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Well i dunno, considering Yusuke mastered 2000 of skills to helping the others, and the fact that the enemies he once fought was a ancient tribes that lived for more than 2000 years with a good experience in massacring and fight, i can say that Yusuke/Kuuga skill aren't that bad compared to Raikou

Not saying they're equal in skill-wise tho

 

[Jamesthetaker]

Most of his 2000 skills are trivial and only until the series start that he learnt how to fight. Fate characters usually have this mad level of skills and Raikou are one of them. Combine it with her higher AP and several amps putting Kuuga at tight spot here.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Well, in that 2000 skills there is should at least some of the martial arts he can use, and beside the enemies he fought was Gurongi and not an humans
Then again this is still an asumption so i'm not gonna taking my analysis too deep

I can argue the RPL can come to handy, and said one of the amps (Lightning Burst) are rendered moot as Kuuga can absorb the lightning to amplifying himself
As for Mystery Killer, this need to be debated again based from this:

Edit: So I saw it on her profile. I don't think Kuuga doesn't categorize in Monsters, Demons, Magical Users, Legendary Heroes/Divine or anything of that sort.

You can make a case for original Kuuga who is the ancient warrior but Kuuga in this era is just a random dude who came across a belt and is now Kuuga so I don't think it triggers on him.

Electricity basically powers his belt. "By allowing himself to be a conduit for electricity to power the Amadam, Yusuke obtained upgraded versions of his standard forms, boosting his stats and power".

absorption/thunder manip works then

OK

Agreed. Kuuga in this case would have to score multiple direct hits or indirect blasts from his kick.

OK

it's true clones with her durability

they have layers too
can we even make fights with high MR servants anymore?

Not saying they're equal in skill-wise tho

raikou is above someone who is above someone who is above [...] someone who was banned from kendos tournament for being too good
Even the worst fighters like astolfo have skills above what any human can reach

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

A to EX Rank MR would be so nightmarish to use

Oh god i can feel it when Baobhan Sith get her profile

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Ye, that's why i said both Kuuga and Raikou aren't equal in term of skills, i just pointing out the context so Kuuga skill isn't looks bad, i even bet out of the series that came in Kamen Rider Franchise, Kuuga is the most skilled Rider

 

[TypeOU]

A to EX Rank MR would be so nightmarish to use

Oh god i can feel it when Baobhan Sith get her profile

so like pretty much the top 10 most popular characters?

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

so like pretty much the top 10 most popular characters?

That even worse lmao

Well there is some of trick for the A-EX MR Servants: use an haxless/less haxed but versatile characters against them, same can be said to the servants (need to be less haxed), example my Agito vs Saber Astolfo

This is why i'm more enjoying using an less popular/underused servants like Raikou and Saber Astolfo tho in this case they would gain a popularity if i made a lot's of matches for them

 

[IxaSaga2]

From my point of view, Kuuga wins if he gets the lightning. Even with one absorption of lightning, he can evolve (the two times he did it in the show, he jumped multiple tiers). Otherwise, Raikou wins. Its a matter of how willing she is to use that ability.

is it dependent on the power of theh lightning or not?

It most likely is. I don't see Kuuga winning in other ways.

 

[TypeOU]

It most likely is. I don't see Kuuga winning in other ways.

then it should equalize their AP at most right? So kuuga still has diversity while raikou can one shot him with her np (although she will probably not use it in most matches) and has a massive skill advantage. Some fights will also end before raikou uses her mana burst, and he might not absorb it every time so I'm giving it a good 7~8/10 for raikou

The few times he absorbed electricity in the show, he upgraded multiple tiers. (8-C to Low 7-B, Low 7-B to 6-C, 6-C to 5-B) So when I'm talking about AP upgrade, its a massive one. The Skill Advantage isn't that big but she'll still have an advantage.
