What is he gonna do against invisible ranged attacks? Can his anpr cover it? If yes, how?
 
"higher skill" when no skill debate happened is crazy work.
Dawg we dont even need a skill debate, Baki shit stomps her in that category so hard it’s ridiculous.

Also as far as invisible ranged attacks he deals with it pretty easily, unless they’re like incorporeal and have no physical effect on the world.
 
Baki rivals in skill to shadow, most likely even surpassing him based on actual feats... Epsilon doesn't have anything rivaling Baki's combat skills (little long read)

That's all I'll say tho for now, I don't really remember much of her abilities

I don't really care about skill right now. This shows him dodging with the absolute least necessary motion. But how does it help him react to or read her invisible slashes?

Even assuming he stomps her in skill, he still can't dodge stuff that don't exist from his Pov.
 
I got guidebook statements I’ll post later, but basically he upscales dudes whose senses are so precise they can hear things move while blind and sense changes in the air in order to dodge and fight. Also invisible projectiles aren’t anything new to him, Retsu used air bullets in the Maximum Tournament and he beat him.

I don't know much about Epsilon, but if she has invisible slashes, Baki technically avoided all of Musashi's imaginary slashes if that counts. Baki has also sensed a fighting spirit nearby and avoided the attack before it happened.

Plus, Baki also dodged an attack he couldn't perceive or predict, and solely relied on instinctive reactions to counter it.


Baki, with ability/analytical ability, could also sense her by picking up her brain signals with Ultra High-level Sen No Sen. Of course, a 0.5-second unconscious also works by having a very accurate sense of when the opponent is going to attack.

Just because he could dodge attacks he couldn't see it doesn't mean he can dodge ALL the attack he can't see, that's why I asked "how" before.

I'm just waiting for the scans about the senses and the air bullets and I'll see if they are applicable to Epsilon's slashes.
 
We are kinda still waiting for the Baki supporters to show scans on why he can dodge invisible attacks :/

you want feats of him dodging attacks, that he can't perceive, consistently or comfortably

Right?

I guess I believe Baki would scale to Yujiro, who at all times is ready to dodge things out of his perception, even something like a lightning strike

How did he percieved the lighting? And why would baki scale to yujiro in this guard thing?

something Baki was beginning to learn in his earlier days
He was still able to read the other person; at first, Baki at least experienced the technique once, and second, he could read some initial movements and stuff, he was seeing the guy.

In Epsilon's case, she can shoot them without the need for any body movement. She just needs to control her magic, which Baki can't perceive and therefore read.

So I don't think that feat suggests Baki can dodge Epsilon's slashes as it is.
I guess because he is able to, in numerous ways, slip past his senses or guard, which is something Yujiro Hanma complimented as well about his unpredictability. In that Father vs Baki fight, Baki became relative and similar to his father
Bypassing something doesn't imply you also possess it. So it doesn't show Baki having the same level of awareness as Yujiro.

read what I said at the end.

No, his eyes were fully closed, and he couldn't see anything at all when experiencing the technique the first time

She controlled the slime via the uses of her mana, she just moved fast enough to where he didn't notice her attacking with it

You can even see it yourself how afterwards her slime sword repears on her hand.

however she does use it here, but you can clearly see her throwing the slash, even the guy was able to clearly dodge it as well

Soo yee he fully does... Baki doesn't even need to see it to dodge her magic slash

That's fair. But he still witnessed the technique once; it doesn't mean he can do the same against a technique he hadn't experienced prior. Epsilon has 3 times his ap.
How do you know it's because of speed when she has invisible attacks in her kit?

She did, it doesn't mean she must tho. And yeah, characters who can naturally READ MAGIC can potentially dodge them. Baki clearly doesn't apply to this last example tho.

because of her slime, it's a speedy and stealthy fighting style

You would have to prove that first, which you have yet to show. The only magic slash shown (I believe) would disproves that assumption

He does in other multiple other ways tho

what?

Actually, I never saw the sword reappear. But even if she does, how does Baki magically know an invisible slash is coming at him, even if he sees her moving her sword? Why wouldn't he simply assume she missed when shooting something out of swords is unrealistic for his verse, let alone magic in general?
I brought this up before, but Baki has Ultra High Level Sen no Sen, an ability which allows him to pick up his opponents brain signal. Unless if she has a counter to something like that, he would be able to read her intent.
I don't see it on the profile, and you didn't send scans.
How did he read the attack?
What's "fighting spirit"?
I answered above to Monkey.

You made me remember the Gaia fight, Ohh yee btw isn't baki also able to do this?

Basically means to sense someone's intentions

Here's Gaia who does something similar

I didn't think I needed to send a scan. Weird how they didn't include it on his profile (They also didn't list it for Musashi's ability for some reason, too), but here is the scan.

It's not only referring to the actual person's spirit but also the actual danger and intent of the fighter.

I answered above to Monkey.
I can see that perspective for that time, but the main point was if he can actually at least avoid an attack he can't see. Current Baki, as already mentioned, can deal with attacks that are invisible at least from his perspective.
 
I've got no clue what's going on.

Sounds like Instinctive Action, but they still would need to know what's going on to feel it, I assume. He knew they were shooting at him, and later he could see the guy he was fighting against.

I'll rephrase: "How did he sense it?"

Eh, I know little about Baki, so if something isn't on the profile, I can't understand what you're talking about.
but here is the scan.
I see, do we have more examples of what he can use it for? Possibly, where he is shown to use this exact technique.
It's not only referring to the actual person's spirit but also the actual danger and intent of the fighter.
I should have replied above.

Baki is very skilled; I won't lie. My main concern was whether he had enough to dodge Epsilon's slashes. Just because someone can dodge one thing he can see it doesn't mean he can dodge EVERYTHING he can't see. Say someone might dodge attacks while blindfolded, but because he already knew the techniques/fighting style, this feat won't apply to stuff he doesn't have prior knowledge about. This is why I need to understand HOW he senses/perceives/reacts/reads during those feats.

Baki clearly can't read magic, so reading them via it is out of the question. He still can see her moving her sword, BUT he would need to figure out that magic is coming at him. Especially from a sword, I believe in Baki swords don't shoot stuff; he might just think she missed her attack. The brain signal thing might work, but I would prefer to know the extent of its practical uses because, in that scan, he reads a very specific brain signal rather than every possible one.
 
Bro all my scans for the good sense slop is gone 😭

Also question, does the magic make any sound/have physical presence? If either of those is true he can beat it no problem, if not then it's more in the air.
 
Also question, does the magic make any sound
Not that we know.
have physical presence?
I mean, it cuts people. It applies force to things.

I would say it still moves air and stuff if that's what you're going for. If that's the case then he would need to know the air is being moved by a magical projectile coming at him rather than the swing of the sword. Both would move air and Baki would require to figure out there's another projectile coming at him. Since it's something unrealistic for his verse, he might not figure it out from the start.
 
Baki has less skill then a character from the Eminence in Shadow? Yowzers.
