What would you all call Mogura Kugurugi's usage. It isn't power null, but fits the bill for negation

Late to the reply, but I think the OP makes sense.

Are we collapsing the Resistance Negation into it or not?

I wouldn't. Because as far as I can tell, resistance negation is usually used to describe resistance piercing or bypassing and not just nullification.

Yeah. There is a difference between saying "you no longer resist fire manip" and "I can burn you despite you resisting fire manip"
The previous is obviously power null, where as the latter would not be. But the latter could be called resistance negation so long as it is not simply over powering it

See, that's completely subjective and both types of abilities - maybe not this exact context - have fell under and are classified as Power Nullification on our pages already.

Ignoring a power and nullification of that power are 2 different things. To say that Ruler can negate attack reflection just because he is able to return projectiles that have been reflected, thus ignoring it, is flat out wrong.
It's like calling non-physical interaction intangibility nullification.

I have absolutely no idea how you could possibly come to the conclusion that that's what I'm saying at all.
The second thing is a more reasonable counterpoint. You're right, but it's not like I was arguing against leaving the Resistance Negation page anymore anyways.

I agree with Iap, "unless" we reform Power Nullification into "Nullification" instead. And then mention all the types.

I think that the rename was rejected due people knowing more the term Power Null rather than Negation (another name for Nullification), unless what was rejected was allowing the page of Negation rather than Power Null and renaming is still an option.

No that was done because Power Null was in more profiles. But we can just redirect the pages anyway so that we won't need to do any fixing.
