Scans? Again if youre referring to when she was launched into the forest by a catapult thats not flight

How is propelling yourself to keep moving midair for, what, was that hundreds of meters(?) not flight?
What do you think normal flight is? Like, birds and stuff? The wings push air, create a counter force that pushes them up. Jets release energy, different types depending on the kind, which creates a counterforce that makes them go in a direction they want to mid air. Yang releases energy blasts to push herself into the air through the knock back (a counterforce).
No bird can fly forever so her being limited to a few dozen or hundred of shots is not a counter argument (and you have 0reviouslt argued that since she uses pure energy, she has unlimited ammo until she has stamina).

Because that's not what she was doing. She was flung hundreds of meters by a catapult.

The catapult launch is not what is being argued weekly. She is shown to be able to propel herself up mid air even while she starts falling down.
https://youtu.be/1JZgPfbKbU4
At 1:00, she is plainly propelling herself with her shots when everyone else has landed, so you can't say that's just the catapult pushing her.
- 61,134
- 14,617
Yeah, thats a mid-air jump, she's not actively propelling herself hundreds of meters with her gauntlet she's using her gauntlet shots to control her descent
- 26,116
- 3,649
Why are you so damn hung up on hundreds of meters?
Firstly, those are dozens at the very least.
Secondly, mid-air jump literally states it can be pseudo-flight.
Lastly, she quiet literally propels herself upwards several times there, not just controlling her descent, and she only falls to "nail it".

Because jumping while falling and slowing/controlling your descent is the the same as flying are you being serious right now?
And no, she is falling because she was thrown off of a giant ass cliff by a catapult.

I'd argue that you're *Flying through just as much if not more hoops to say the opposite but go offWeeklyBattles said:

So do you actually plan on posting scans of her flying around or are you going to just be sarcastic and unproductive?
- 26,116

What do you think flight is? Do you think birds magically stay mid air? They are falling, so they flap their wings and catch enough air that they can physically push themselves up, which creates enough energy to... push them up. A jet engine instead releases fuel and air, which pushes against the opposite direction, letting whatever is flying move in a direction and control which whey they go.WeeklyBattles said:
Flight isn't ignoring gravity. It's making a counterforce that lets you oppose it. Blasting energy downwards in an explosive manner and using the knockback to not fall downwards still fits every definition of flight that matters, be it the wiki's or real world definition.
And as you might notice in the clip, she propels herself upwards several times (0:59, 1:01, 1:03, 1:04, 1:05 and 1:09), and the last time she porpusefully goes horizontally.

Is this acrobatics or pseudo-flight?

Do you understand what flying is?WeeklyBattles said:
She makes explosions with her punches (there are literal explosions, and even the subtitles say *explosion*) that propell her upwards mid-air, and she repeats this six times before she decides to land.
- 61,134
- 14,617
Seeing as she's launching herself off of debris that is textbook acrobaticsMilesTheMorales1 said:

@Ricsi You realize that by your definition any human with a big enough trampoline would have pseudo flight right?
- 449

- #60
You can't possibly equate a trampoline that stay on the ground with a weapon that deliberately propels people in the air.WeeklyBattles said:
- 26,116
- 3,649
No. That is literally not true.WeeklyBattles said:
A trampuline needs you to reach the ground and fall on the trampuline, a solid object. A trampuline can't propel you mid air. Yang can do that.
Yang is staying afloat in a gasous substance without the need to land on a solid object by creating a counterforce to gravity. Literally textbook flight. You do realize that every bird is techincally just jumping mid air by pushing against air wide and fast enough, right?

I'm calling BS. She destroyed the piece of debris that was gonna hit her, and then lanched herself in the air. There are other clips of her not touching the ground and yet launching straight up with just her gauntlets.WeeklyBattles said:
- 61,134
- 14,617
Ricsi. I want you to fine me ONE scan of her flying UPWARDS without needing to punch off of something. Not forwards. Not sideways. Not running up something. Just flying UPWARDS.

I can do that right now Weekly.

She is shown punching down without touching the ground. There's your ONE scan you asked for.

You don't need to go diagonally up to fly... again, birds don't do that, because that's impossible to them. Are you going to tell me a hawk can't fly because it can only propel itself at 75 degrees instead of 90?
https://youtu.be/1JZgPfbKbU4?t=61
Here she blatantly moves farther up then where she was falling.
https://youtu.be/1JZgPfbKbU4?t=62
Here, she goes even more upwards. I'd eyeball it at a 70~ degree (assuming downwards is 0).
https://youtu.be/1JZgPfbKbU4?t=65
Here she just plain goes up.

Did you watch the clip or did you memorize the url? She's very clearly NOT touching the ground, that's just the direction she punched.
- 61,134
- 14,617
@Risci I advise you to watch that clip again because she is very blatantly using trees as springboards, you even see the leaves she blows off the trees

No, it's not. She got close but it never touched the ground. Also, she had springboarded off the trees AFTER she propelled herself upwards, now you're straight up lying.
- 26,116
- 3,649
Where is the tree she punched here?
Because that explosion didn't even reach the leaves.

Anyways, if you switched to arguing that she needs to punch solid objects to stay mid air then you concede the point that staying mid air through explosions without touching anything non-gasous does count as pseudo-flight?

Neat, i asked for her going up when not near anythingMilesTheMorales1 said:

Where is she goiong upwards there? Ive watched the scene five times now and she's going forwards there.Ricsi-viragosi said:
- 26,116
- 3,649
What does that matter?WeeklyBattles said:
What, you thin the kinetic energy that hits the trees so violently that not even their branches break suddenly bounces back into her and pushes her up?
Because as far as I'm concerned, she is making explosions, and said explosions are pushing her. The amount of energy the explosion has won't suddenly change weather she is 1 or a 100 meters away from ground.
- 61,134
- 14,617
Sure? she has no feats of flying through the air without using something nearby to springboard off of though so my point still standsRicsi-viragosi said:
- 26,116
- 3,649
So again, do we remove a hawks ability to fly because it can only propell itself forward with a slight tilt upwards?WeeklyBattles said:
And please do point out how which of her ecplosions actually hits a tree.
- 61,134
- 14,617
Because she doesnt control WHERE the explosions happen. Its why she needs there to be a solid object nearby for her to springboard off of, if there's no solid object nearby she cant launch herself.Ricsi-viragosi said:

A hawk doesnt fly along the ground using explosions from its wings to stay in the air.
