It was explicitly stated that he couldn't block his attacks actually I'm pretty sure that scan is on his page itself. Don't know why you're so intent on downplaying it seeing as how if it wasn't for pecog that tells him where and when he wouldve gotten skewered with minimal fuss.
he defended against them. that is a known fact otherwise he'd be dead. i do not know why you're so intent on making Fate out to be a bigger deal than it actually is.
seeing as how if it wasn't for pecog that tells him where and when he wouldve gotten skewered with minimal fuss.
it was a blitz. it was impressive. it was not on the level of what Tohno did to Vampire Sion, who should be well above Archer in the first place.
You forgot in Strange Fake against Enkidu and True Archer(he used his ship here),
Enkidu is a special case since he immediately takes him seriously. and yeah, i did forget about the True Archer one. that's two times out of billions of others. standing on top of a light post or house like with Shirou is irrelevant in this fight to the point I do not know why you're bringing it up.
. Or how he was stood atop the Tohsaka residence when Assassin attacked in their choreographed fight
being on a building is literally irrelevant here. that's not doing anything. Tohno will just go up there or crash the building. and we know in-character Gilgamesh willingly falls to the ground if that happens even if he's pissed off by it.
Why I say this is because the consensus here seemed to be "Gil won't fly or get on his ship in charchter so Tohno blitzes him while he's on the ground" when Gil just canonically tends to take the high ground at the beginning of confrontations.
high ground =/= flying.
Still "Servant Gil", tbh we should probably separate his Servant Key by iteration rather than just Servant and MMC. But until then it's all in one so his SF iteration counts as well.
actually the tag says FSN, so it could easily not count if I say it doesn't. but yes I'll count his stats there because I wasn't trying to make a stomp here. but i think it's incredibly hard to argue for Gil at this point.
And I wouldn't be so sure about "Not as fast as Cu" he himself is Ranked A in SF same as Cu and Enkidu at full tilt ranges from A-A++ and him and Gil are always portrayed as relative in their fights.
Gilgamesh has ways to deal with people faster than him. just not extreme blitz levels like he's dealing with here if he doesn't immediately take the most appropriate action. and even that isn't assuring a win. in the case of Enkidu as well, not sure how fast his projectiles are compared to his main body. but we know Gilgamesh is slower than Cu because Cu is stated to be the fastest Heroic Spirit, which in context should be referring to his combat speed. Enkidu under ideal circumstances can maybe go faster, but it is not his normal speed. and we don't know if it applies to his projectiles. and Cu isn't as fast as Tohno anyways.
Although that's not really the point here the point with mentioning Cu is that Gil was able to pin him down in charchter using G.O.B same with True Archer who's also an exceptionally fast servant
it also took Gilgamesh around 12 hours to take down Cu, who was stated to be nerfed in closed spaces IIRC. and unfortunately for Gilgamesh he is fighting someone even faster and who can shred through all of his attacks and hax with ease. Gilgamesh has to react immediately in the best way possible to stand a chance. a 12 hour fight against a 1-A smurf that is blitz tier faster is not happening.
This doesn't work since Vampire Sion is scaled directly off Zepia in that key and Zepia is directly scaled off servants in both his Key's It also doesn't work since 30% Arc is the one who's stated to be comparable to Servants not Weakened Tsuki Arc.
doesn't matter. we're going off profiles here and the profiles say weakened Arcueid is comparable. if we're not going off profiles Servants are nowhere near as fast and strong as Tsukihime low tiers and Nasu's statements are all contradicted by feats and guidebook statements. seriously, not going off profiles is only going to make this match extreme spite against Gilgamesh, the dude who is supersonic at best.
Also why is Dying Nanaya>100% Arcuied Nrvansqr was able to react to his Movment and track him in OG Tsukihime pretty sure he even grazed him in the Manga.
Nrvnqsr is someone Arcueid stated would be difficult to defeat at her full power. He's an extremely powerful DAA and stated to be one of the strongest ones. and Nanaya was even weaker there than his battle with Akiha to the point he passed out seconds after killing Nrvnqsr. Nrvnqsr was also completely unable to defend himself and got curbstomped. and in the VN he didn't graze Nanaya even slightly. the Nanaya that was rapidly losing his power in the Kohaku Route is above 100% Arcueid because he beat someone that is explicitly stated to be above her, which also lines up with the scaling presented in the stories.
