Just wanna note the rules are SBA except the incap option only needs to be 5 minutes or long.
They start from opposite side of the Canyon where the trees are.
Yeah but that invalidates her incap option, there's so much shit in the way, she needs to have his full body in view to use it, if even some of it is out of her field of view or blocked by an obstacle (not counting clothes and shit), it can't be used as that's the rule of the magic.
This is East Blue buggy
And iirc in the anime he didn't really reveal his DF abilities until later when fighting Luffy because at that time DF are trump cards.
That way Buggy don't get insta uncapped but at the same time he is unaware his enemy can incap him by sight.
I mean maybe but
The location makes her incap option useless. And she can't actually kill him. And she would never incap and not follow up because she's ******* insane, she'd probably cut him up into little bits.
Him being aware doesn't matter, it's already set up to where she almost can't use it at all and objectively can't at the start or in 95% of combat situations.
Ubel also have no idea so usually she goes for cutting until she realize she might need to use something else.
They are still in character
Exactly, if her wincondition is "She incaps him (Impossible for the most part due to the location), and then doesn't follow up (She would never not follow up), and then just waits because she can't actually harm him, she could win". That isn't viable, I'd even wager it's a 100% chance to never happen.
But like, what is that "something else", she has NEVER used anything else. I'm not even sure why she has Zoltraak tbh, it was never shown or said she has it. I think it's just assuming because it's "basic offensive magic" but she's never use it even when it'd have been useful so... If we assume she has it, and assume she'd use it if cutting don't work, she just kinda snipes with layered duraneg beams instead which I think would just kill him?Idk I don't think that's fair to him and undermines her whole schtick.
If her only attack option is cutting, and her foe can't die from being cut, she can't win basically, at best you have a misatch on your hands if it's just "Incap".
For this to be fair, she'd essentially have to know her end goal is incap with prior knowledge, but at that point why use a character who cuts and slashes and is also a murderer and likes to mutilate (The incap spell isn't even hers, she just stole it and it's useful for enabling her to cut mfs up).
Like I get the intent, Ubel's cutting is kinda broken, so you need a character who won't just die instantly to fight her, but there needs to be a caveat there, like maybe they have regen but it's
stamina based or can be overtaxed so the dude can survive the hax but she can eventually defeat them if she lands enough hits so they both have methods to win, or maybe even just regen but something like decap is enough to give her an option she'd need to adapt to (She usually slashes them in half, not chop heads off), maybe they just resist the hax and instead it's just axe vs dude so she can still fight normally she just can't instant hax win but can still use it on the enviroment to aid. Or maybe the character in question uses clones or something so she can slash, but if she can't get the right one she could be overwhelmed, or this or that. There's ways to make a decent match, but if Buggy just can't be hurt by slashing she has no real option.
