Street Fighter: Akuma Minor Addition

[Ser_Hakim_Dayne]

I think Akuma should have Fear inducement because of that.

Is there any more explanation to this feat? It can be also an effect of a Fear-inducing Aura

Which is just a combination of Fear Manipulation + Aura

Not really, some fictional works establish them differently and we can't really assume that their mechanics are the same by default

 

[Robo432343]

this is clearly fear manipulation

Aura's page:

The ability to have energy envelop the user. It can be used (consciously or subconsciously) for various purposes (such as intimidation). This covers supernatural abilities only, natural effects fall under Social Influencing.

So "Fear-inducing Aura" is just an Aura that uses Fear manipulation.

I didn't say that you are wrong, I said that the mechanics may be different and it's better to show it separately. In-verse, these two abilities may work on different basises, so for accuracy they need to be distinguished

this is clearly fear manipulation

There seems to be some kind of fluctuations, so I wouldn't be so sure

 

[Vietthai96]

That seem like Social Influencing to me rather than outright fear hax

 

[Robo432343]

that is no where near social influencing
social influencing is like reputation based and if you look at the social influencing examples they all have some sort of reputation that makes people feel fear

 

[Ser_Hakim_Dayne]

Bump

Where do you get that you can get Social Influencing via reputation, able intimidating others via beinh scary is. Akuma literally scare the hell out of a very nobody so at best this is SI

Characters who can in some way or the other, instigate fear and affect the thinking or confidence of another person in their verse. The ways the characters use may include usage of position or a reputation in their verse, having an appearance or a certain feature in their appearance which other characters in the verse perceive as creepy or scary and easily scared by it or driving other characters into situations where they are set to feel fear, etc. This differs from fear manipulation, as this doesn't involve any supernatural factor and is escapable through simple willpower or confidence.

the character was also a considerable distance from Akuma so idk what 'appearance' there was to look at

may includes

dude, you don't get SI from simply having reputation or position, you need to context on what this suppose to do. normal reputation will not even get you SI, you need a whole lot of feat and all crazy effects to get SI

Back to what i said, the guy pretty much can see Akuma from a distance, you need evidence that Akuma can fear hax through supernatural mean rather that simply stand there aura farming and scare the guy

and yet you think this is SI?

 

[Vietthai96]

and yet you think this is SI?

??, and you think this is somehow fear hax?, i already said at best it is SI,

Could you tag other staff members to get their opinions as well please?

Sorry for the ping, your helps is appreciated

I believe this being Social Influecing via Intimidation:

The Player at this point is half a rookie and knows Akuma by reputation, he is sent there by other characters to learn from him. Akuma himself is renowned in the fighting world of Street Fighter as a demonic warrior, so he comes with an already-built in legend.
The Player arrives in an eerie environment and witnesses Akuma performing a crazy feat, as in uppercutting the statue. Akuma then stares at him with blood-stained eyes and that sends the Player into a shiver.

The scene checks out a lot of ideal requirements for SI but none of the fear manipulation ones, which requires direct evidence and statements/proof/etc... to a magical, psychic, chemical or whatever ability that allows the character to directly induce fear, rather than causing it through behaviour.

 

[Armorchompy]

Akuma is just a scary ass guy, if I met him I'd be ******** my pants with or without fear manip.
