Hey, a matchup featuring a WWE/AEW wrestler that's not a stomp!

 

[DemonicDude]

I'm hyped for this one

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

Kazuma has a sword. Stomp uwu

 

[DemonicDude]

Waiting for Phoenks to show up, Very important match points wise.

Attack Potency:

Chris Jericho = 11.19 Kilojoules
Satou Kazuma = 7.17 Kilojoules

11.19/7.17 = 1.56 Ap advantage.

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

Satou Kazuma = Can someone please tell me his correct calc ?
it says 1027.528425 Joules but those are 1.02 KJ ?

It seems the 2.3-7-1 Kilojoules calc was the outdated value

 

[AnonymousBlank]

Kazuma has a sword. Stomp uwu

Welp, guess we need to redo Tsukasa vs Chris

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Kazuma has a sword. Stomp uwu

What's funny is that this is most likely going to be unironically argued here lol

 

[DemonicDude]

i corrected the AP

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

i corrected the AP

I mean, the blog did say the 7.1 Kilojoules calc might be invalid

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Alright, so we obviously know Jericho is far more skilled than Kazuma here, and he has The Judas Effect, Poison Mist, and Fireballs that will end the fight if hit.

However, Kazuma does have his Supernatural Luck, so it will be very hard for Jericho to land something good here. I don't think Kazuma is going to get lucky every time, but he will get lucky quite a bit here.

Although, Jericho's significant skill gap, along with his IR does make him a hard opponent to hit, and Pain Tolerance will make him hard to put down.

This is honestly a close matchup.

 

[DemonicDude]

I mean, the blog did say the 7.1 Kilojoules calc might be invalid

It says accepted end is 7.1

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

It says accepted end is 7.1

nah it doesn't Doesn't matter much anyway

 

[RandomGuy2345]

This is actually a very thematic matchup, as both use Magic lol

I'm going to wait and see what @Phoenks says about what Kazuma can do about his magic.

 

[DemonicDude]

magician vs magican huh

 

[Pikaman]

I’ve been looking forward to this one

How does the supernatural luck work? From what I gather if a random event occurs involving Satou, the desired outcome to him will always happen out of the possible options. That’s not horribly useful against Jericho, who doesn’t really rely on luck for any of his arsenal. It might have a handful of uses but nothing particularly of note. The most useful application of it I can imagine is that he’s closest to the desired weapons he wants of the ones scattered around the street, and even then, what good do any of those weapons do Satou? They’re far more useful in the hands of Jericho, who has more skill and experience wielding these types of unorthodox weapons

Kazuma on the other hand isn't crazily skilled with his weapons, however, his luck makes up for it. He'll typically charge in with his sword and start slicing at this distance. Because of his luck, all of his strikes are likely to hit the enemy unless they're sufficient in combat.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Jericho is far more skilled than Kazuma, so Jericho shouldn't have too much of a problem avoiding his sword strikes.

 

[Pikaman]

“Unless they’re sufficient in combat”, Jericho holds a hefty skill advantage (for once we don’t get to have flame wars about this lol) so [INSERT WWE WEAPONS ARGUMENT HERE]

 

[Pikaman]

So Satou’s luck can act as a skill amp of sorts? Normally sounds incredibly useful, but the gap is just too much here.

 

[DemonicDude]

Aside from his luck I don't see anyway for his to counter the fire ball just gonna have to wait for more clarification and arguments

 

[Popted2]

just to be clear Kazuma will absolutely avoid confrontation in direct combat against Chris, Kazuma is the type of guy who will resort to anything to win, like dirty tricks etc

and he still has his bind ability to block Chris, and another thing he has is his Drain touch ability, an ability wich he can drain the stamina or the Mana of the opponent when Kazuma directly touch him

also what clothes do Chris usually wear? because Kazuma can use Steal to steal his pants if he see he has just that, and that's something Kazuma would absolutely do

 

[DemonicDude]

How does bind block works ?
How long does the touch require ? Is it instant of contact.

Chris wears Spiked Jacket and pants with Long Boots
This doesn't appear to do anything

 

[Popted2]

he use a chain to bind an opponent wich he carry, Kazuma touch the opponent with his hands and will drain his stamina, the more stamina the opponent has the longer the drain is,

 

[Pikaman]

he use a chain to bind an opponent wich he carry

I can’t imagine this being particularly useful

Kazuma touch the opponent with his hands and will drain his stamina

If he has to prolong the touch to drain the stamina longer he leaves himself very vulnerable doing this

 

[Popted2]

I can’t imagine this being particularly useful

for breaking the chains you must have Class M lift strengh

 

[Pikaman]

I’m not saying Jericho would have no issues breaking out of the chains, just that it seems a very specific scenario based weapon that would require Kazuma wrapping it around Jericho in close quarters, which I can’t imagine happening.

 

[DemonicDude]

Wrapping around would take time if it's not instantaneous, In that time Jerico can avoid and proceed to combat

 

[Stillwinston]

Yeah Jericho's not gonna just stand there, how good at SI is Kazuma? Cause Jericho is well known for using that too

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

"Bind: Allows Kazuma to use any rope or chain-like object as a projectile that quickly coils around the first thing it hits, restricting movement completely. Since it is based on luck, he can use it to bind opponents way stronger than him, such as a hydra or Darkness."
It's a long range attack

 

[Popted2]

okay i will just wait for Phoenks at this point

 

[Pikaman]

How often does he use this in character? might have to restrict it it’s as good as you say

 

[Pikaman]

I don’t like restricting stuff after the tournament begins because it makes me look a bit of an ass but I think we can all see the issue behind class M binding in a 9-C tournament in the situation where it’s extremely difficult to dodge or prevent

 

[RandomGuy2345]

It's based on Kazuma's luck, which has been stated that it can be countered by skilled enough opponents.

Jericho is one of the most skilled people in this tourney.

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

Jericho's skill counters his sword flailing, don't think it really counter Class M LS tho

 

[RandomGuy2345]

That's not what I meant.

The thing works as a projectile, and with Kazuma's luck, normally, it would connect Jericho and restrain him, but thanks to Jericho's massive skill advantage, he'd be able to avoid it before the projectile can restrict him.

Plus, don't forget about Jericho's IR.

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

Plus, don't forget about Jericho's IR.

I really doubt IR is gonna help against a flying chain that quickly coils around the opponent as soon as it touches them

 

[Pikaman]

Oh so it works the same way with the “sufficient in combat” pre-requisite? Then most tourney participants worth their salt should handle it fine

 

[RandomGuy2345]

I really doubt IR is gonna help against a flying chain that quickly coils around the opponent as soon as it touches them

You're telling me Chris can't even dodge it off of skill alone?

It doesn't even state that the chain moves fast, it just quickly coils around the opponent as soon as it touches them. It involves Kazuma's luck, but his luck can be countered by people skilled enough, and Jericho is more than skilled enough to counter Kazuma's luck.

If the chain were restrain Jericho, then Jericho has no way of getting out of it, but thanks to Jericho's skill, he can dodge it before the chain touches him.
