I mean I'm just using this:
as my argument that Akuma does resist soul bind since otherwise, it'd be broken, but you said "nah not broken" because of the above statement, so I'm like bet. But now that they seem to be around the same level in AP (although I still feel like Akuma has the edge since he curbstomps the entirety of his scaling chain, which more than makes up for the difference in two characters they upscale from them).
Even if this point doesn't make sense to you, I did answer your question:
With this: "Considering that Gouken survived Akuma's raging demon, which is soul based - yeah i think so" above- so... yeah
Of course, I also still feel like Akuma would have a hard time to get through soul bind since he still has to actively resist- but I feel like his Skill would actually apply here when he goes into mid-close ranges, realize which way Arima's pulling him and fool him by intentionally missing and having his own powers work against him by pulling em the wrong way- that or he just goes Shin.
also for bloodlust... Akuma basically IS blood lust- Satsui no Hado's literal translation is "Surge of Murderous Intent", I would find it jarring that Akuma can't resist Bloodlust... and if it's not on his page I will be very upset.
...It's not isn't it.
Bet, Ki could still likely power null just like how I mention'd how Ryu's Hadokens can to null them outta there
Bet
I'm gonna have to do a hard agree with that lol, I don't SF Scale after all. But I might actually be an SF scaler just to fix em pages for real tho
Uhhh... I can't remember what you said, but I did say that Akuma's Ashura Senku should be going past soul like attacks like Hadoken and projectiles from Soul Power users like Rose and it's counterpart Psycho Power like Bison (who's thing is like, using soul stuff to switch bodies or smth like that if i recall), stuff like that- so if what you said relies on that it's "only physical intang"- rip that.
The Magnetism Shield stuff, Lightning Temperature Fire, stuff like that- which isn't on the page but you're arguing for that they exist. Of course, same goes with Akuma- I'm not an SF scaler I just like SF, so I admit that it's probably missing the stuff I mention- but if you get to say that Akuma can't do X thing because it's not on his page (even though it's specifically stated), I think it's fair that I can say "Arima doesn't have X Temperature on his fire because it's not on his page".
Also, if characters just don't have soul and magnetism resist as the only ways to get past, how is Arima in this tourney if others need those very specific resistances to even touch the guy?
Oooo.... well if that's the case it'd def be an unaddable stomp- and I'm sure it'd be 6-C so that's outta the tournament- we should get a check on that
Tbh I'm fine with Akuma losing I don't expect SF chars to be all that haxxed anyways. But also no one wants to see Akuma go down like a chump, and I don't think there's a single person who don't like Akuma so- no one wanna see him out of here without a fight, so I gotta do what I can to not make it easy by going as hard as I can.
