Teru Momijiyama (SHY) vs Kikoru Shinomiya (Kaiju No. 8) [0-0-0]

[Jackof_noTrades068]

I'm honestly just curious

• Speed is equalized
• Fight starts in the Port of Tokyo at 2am
• Both are not fighting to kill each other, but will go all out (Win by knockout and other non lethal means)
• Tokyo Recapture Arc Shy is being used (4 Kilotons)
• Defense Force suit (60%) Shinomiya is being used (Above 4.09 Kilotons)

She wants to crawl into a hole and be left alone:

She thinks she's the star of the show:

Why are they fighting at a port bro (Incon):

Okay, so going off what I am seeing, Kikoru has a monstrous skill advantage, able to hold her own against the likes of Gen Narumi whose precognition is broken, so in a close range combay, Kikoru is not going to have any trouble even with Teru having Anal Prediction (to which Kikoru has her own) and having lifting strength (to which Kikoru is used to)

There is the fact that her Accelerated Development would allow her to one-shot almost immediately as soon the match start due to how fast it is, which increases not just her physical statistics but her analytical prediction, accuracy, precision, range, piercing capabilities, senses, jumping, awareness, etc... and that isn't taking into consideration her combat techniques's Damage Boost, which makes her a lot stronger and faster to the point of one-shotting and blitzing

However, Teru does have really hot flames which would easily melt Kikoru given how hot they are but since they are not killing each other, she would probably raise it high enough to ward Kikoru from approaching her or melt her close range weapons, rendering that skill advantage in close combat moot, forcing Kikoru to employ long-ranged method, which she is just as capable with. Given how someone who is less skilled and at a lower combat power than Kikoru could move hundreds of meters, if not kilomters in an instant to avoid an attack that had already been fired from a foe that he was not at the level of facing against, Kikoru could move fast enough to avoid the worst affects of Teru's flames

Teru has flight options to disengage and stay away from Kikoru but doesn't seem to have much option in abusing that range with attacks besides flames, which is stated that she had help reaching the Hundreds of Meters so in order to attack Kikoru, she would need to enter her range.

Teru does have another advantage in how accessible and powerful her light manipulation is, which during this key she’s very willing to use if she just wants to back up from an opponent and rethink her options (especially since this is a port, shipping container cover helps)
So she might instead decide to go full blast on her light flare instead of doing something small which would stun Kikoru severely which could give Shy an easy opportunity to restrain.

Teru’s prediction ain’t on the level of Kikoru’s, but at least based on Shinomiya’s case. It does seem like her precog has build up, so they’d need to exchange at least a little before the close quarters edge is made clear. Perhaps Teru could try using her huge lifting strength advantage to try catch at least one of Kikoru’s weapons and tossing it out of her hands

You do note (and I do see the heat resistance Kikoru has vs Teru’s flames). Wouldn’t Teru also be able to heavily damage her defense force suit with heat alone? (Given Teru’s flames are 14x hotter than what the suits are meant to handle) Especially thanks to the fact she can just full body cover herself in a fire aura.
Or in close quarters keeping up the heat constantly over a wide area (The Amaterasu in her Standard attacks and techniques was sustained in that 289m range for minutes while she and even everyone else helping with it were close to exhaustion) but being mindful of the heat so it doesn’t kill and only makes Kikoru faint and weaker (or just pass out)

Although in a long range battle while Kikoru’s using her rifles, Teru’s now in a worst case scenario where she doesn’t have too much of a shot with all the various gadget bullets kikoru can use + her precog + her agility in an environment as vertical as this (Although Kikoru won’t use those pulverize bullets that donut Kaiju for obvious reasons, and the ice ammo is useless)

I forgot to mention that, yeah, her solar flare would be effective, although perhaps its blinding effects can be mitigated due to Instinctive Reactions. Funnily enough, Kikoru got her own option in the forms of flash grenades.

Would be extremely difficult as Kikoru is just growing tremendously faster from the very moment the match start. Whilst her lifting strength won’t be change, Kikoru’s speed would be too difficult for Teru to properly catch without harming herself in the process. There is also Kikoru’s shockwaves that she can deploy, allowing her to, even if Teru was to grab the blade, release a sudden burst of power that would break the axe free from Teru’s grip.

There is still the extreme skill difference that add to the difficulties and that Kikoru is experienced in fighting foes like Kaiju No. 9 who dwarf her lifting strength to which she mitigates by targeting the limbs instead of clashing directly against him

Yeah, it should be effective in destroying the suit, thus an automatic gg if she destroy the suit entirely (although I don’t know how heat react with forcefield tbh). But given increasing speed and the scans above, Kikoru has the capability to move fast enough to avoid such a loss condition

Although in a long range battle while Kikoru’s using her rifles, Teru’s now in a worst case scenario where she doesn’t have too much of a shot with all the various gadget bullets kikoru can use + her precog + her agility in an environment as vertical as this (Although Kikoru won’t use those pulverize bullets that donut Kaiju for obvious reasons, and the ice ammo is useless)

Indeed, in a long range battle, it would be difficult since although her gunmanship is perhaps not as good as her axemanship, it pretty good where she can intuitively know when her shots would hit (thus reducing the chances of her wasting bullets). But she has her conductor rounds that can paralyze.

Overall, Kikoru’s best chance is at the beginning where she is already grown strong enough to one-shot and blitz already given the insane prowess of her Accelerated Development, catching Teru completely off-guard

True she does have the flash grenade option, mainly brought it up cause Kikoru doesn’t seem like the type who’d bust out a flashback point blank. Meanwhile for Teru her palms may as well be flashbangs, orders of magnitude more powerful than real ones. It doesn’t even have to be a brief flash, Teru could maintain a bright flare for several seconds or however long she wants even in the event she instinctive reacts into looking away and covering her eyes so that she has to keep her eyes closed.
although in absolute worst case scenarios of this fight Teru could lose before she gets the chance to initiate this strategy

Noted. Good for her she doesn’t opt for clashing against enemies with better LS. Cause when enemies are armed Teru usually likes parries with her heels (surprisingly strong heels ig) or she likes to catch said weapon

Yeah, it should be effective in destroying the suit, thus an automatic gg if she destroy the suit entirely (although I don’t know how heat react with forcefield tbh). But given increasing speed and the scans above, Kikoru has the capability to move fast enough to avoid such a loss condition

Noted, the option is there and it is effective, but since she’s not trying to murder Kikoru here, not very reliable cause of Kikoru’s speed, but it doesn’t help limit Kikoru’s options even in such scenarios

Indeed, in a long range battle, it would be difficult since although her gunmanship is perhaps not as good as her axemanship, it pretty good where she can intuitively know when her shots would hit (thus reducing the chances of her wasting bullets).

Noted, guess I can take this as a Kikoru vote?
