sure but it helps a lot when you can blitz your opponents
Except the upper ranks can deal with being blitzed pretty easily. Reinhard and Reid certainly at least have a large enough skill gap that even if he were faster they would murk him. Sphinx proves she can deal with it with the proper magic technique.
And if you're talking about a perception blitz that's not happening. Sphinx was able to keep up with him just fine.
The only way this could possibly make sense is if it's meant to mean he's equally skilled as Reinhard was
when he destroyed the loot house. For starters, why would Reinhard casually be able to dodge the rain just to deliver a letter yet Cecilus can barely do the equivalent and still sustain injuries while in peak condition?
If Cecilus were actually faster and just as skilled as Reinhard at this point the implications would be absurd. That would mean a supressed Muspel can kill Reinhard if he doesn't draw the dragon sword. Ofc he would just resurrect but he would be killed. It would also imply that anyone like Echidna and Roswaal have ftl reaction and combat speed with their magic. In turn that would also mean Marcos is ftl and is significantly stronger than Reinhard without the dragon sword since he's equal to Roswaal who is stronger than Muspel and a supressed Muspel would have killed Cecilus without the dream sword. It would mean that Daphne and Typhon are way stronger than Reinhard is without the dragon sword too.
yeah he can cut to the same capacity as the literal sword god
Yeah, and he still can't beat Reinhard. He can't beat Ram without significant difficulty. Cecilus’ swords of power are not by any means a truly top tier power. Tyhon's authority is better than both of them combined. And by all means I would argue that Cecilus' skill is as well. The swords are not going to help him against Reinhard or Ram or Sekhmet or anyone else like that. They would just parry them away.
thousands of kilometers of range?
He simply doesn't have that.
based on the fact that she did every magic that Echidna had showcased and was specifically stated by Al to be physically superior
We literally never saw Echidna fight a single time and her physical abilities are nearly irrelevant to her power at that level. Even if she could use all of the same spells, which is a completely baseless claim, it wouldn't inherently mean she is as powerful.
She also succesfully inherited Echidnas soul so it would be weird if she also didnt have access to her full set of abilites
This is false. Only a portion of Echidna's soul was placed into Sphinx. Sphinx merely changed her physical form to match that portion, thus completing hher. She is a complete copy of the
portion of Echidna placed within her. She even acts completely differently.
She is technically just a better Echidna with better stats and regen
You're begging the claim.
The trap existing doesn't mean she's gonna let herself get beaten
She literally HAS to for it to work and there is zero downside to her being killing. It is 100% pros 0% cons.
It's also mentioned that Al speculates Cecilus probably escaped the explosion everytime it went off
Even if that were definitive why would she not try? She keeps up with him the entire rest of the fight. She clearly isn't actually getting blitzed here.
fifty-three trials and errors
You're just proving my point
my bad i thought no sold meant stomp
Anyways there is like numerous ways to get to the conclusion that Roswaal has nothing on Cecilus
No, you SAID it already happened, not that it's something you think would happen. You'd be wrong anyway since the only points of comparison we have for Roswaal and Cecilus are a weaker version of Muspel nearly beating him and a potentially weaker version of Echidna putting up a decent fight. Both of which are supposedly weaker than Roswaal.
For one, Cecilus is Reinhard's counter and could damage him enough that even puck thought he could defeat him. Not only that but he also managed to escape after the battle.
That is in wrath if where he is waaaaaaaaaay stronger than he is now.
Ceclius can also stomp every divine general combined, in contrast Roswaal had to use petty tricks to beat baleroy alone
While vastly weakened to the point he literally couldn't replicate a technique Julius literally learnt from him.
Also the speed gap between them is massive where even a kid Cecilus could dodge Light beams while you can argue MH+ for Roswaal at best
A kid Cecilus who was barely weaker than his adult self and then grew enough to break two or three of his limits dodged glowing crystals that were described as being like light because that's how they appear. They neither are light or are as fast as light. Muspel is an earth spirit. Quit using this stupid argument. I know you're better than this.
Kid Ceci is also far weaker than adult Ceci (literally compare how they fight Arakiya, one of them says she's a tough opponent and had his hopes up abt reaching the Heavenly Sword and was tagged while the other one is fodderizing her everyday to the point that he literally doesn't think there's anyone in the world on his level)
Comparing how they fight proves kid Cecilus is barely weaker. Arakiya was able to hit adult Cecilus every now and then and when he tried to grab her he lost the use of his arms for a significant period of time. It's the same exact difference between Wilhelm with and without the power of love.
Echidna is physically weak af and both Sphidna and Roswaal have way better physical stats
now obviously speed doesnt have anything to do with overall stats but i imagine being physically superior would make them atleast somewhat faster atleast
No. Their physical stats have nothing to do with their reaction speeds or the combat speed of their magic. There is absolutely zero connection there. You might as well be arguing that Todd has a chance at beating Echidna because he is way physically stronger and faster than her. Being physically stronger and faster says absolutely nothing.
Mind you, Puck could absolutely shrug off an attack like Al Shario. Melekuara is more or less as strong as Echidna and he called him pathetic. He literally crushed him just by swatting him with his paw. Yet here Cecilus is needing to turn himself back into an adult and then use the dream sword juiced up to an absurd level he has never used it at before. Unless you mean to suggest that Puck would crush Reinhard the same way if he can't draw the dragon sword it makes no sense for Cecilus to be anywhere close to him.
