I figured as much on the semblance thing, that's both a good and bad thing, for both contestants. It means Josuke will have a lot of trouble figuring out the whole amplyfying thing but at the same time that means if Yang does revert to base, she reverts back to a state that CD can actively harm her in.
>Okay so CD is bigger but not overwhelmingly so.
His arms are about a fist, maybe a fist and a half longer.
>1-2 meters still puts Josuke well in the range of her gauntlets' shots. CD would have to simultaneously intercept yang and intercept the shots that were fired at Josuke at the moment of interception, all with equalized speed.
tbh I dont see that as much of an issue, Josuke should know damn well that Yang has long range attacks from said gauntlets, he should be expecting Yang to try and pull a fast one up close so I can see CD being ready to revert the projectile before it's even launched. And as for intercepting Yang, that actually shouldnt be much of a issue given Yang isnt expecting a invisible bubble buddy waiting for her. All CD really has to do, in this situation, is brush his hand against Yang to activate the set back and have his other arm ready in front of Josuke to protect against the projectiles. Also not really sure that'd knock him out, it'd wound him of course but I dont seem him getting ko'd by that given he's taken some brutal things before, I mean he's no Bruno my heart is literally and explicitly stated to be ripped in half, im bleeding out, I have a hole through my chest and im nearly cut in half but I'm gonna continue fighting for a few minutes anyway Buciellati but he's good at taking damage and staying on his feet.
>Even if CD reverts her semblance her shots are still 8-C+ and going right for his head and torso. It would be entirely likely that if she lands a shot in the face he could get knocked out by it even if it didnt kill him.
See above I guess.
>Aura is invisible yes, the only time its ever shown to be visible is if its close to breaking as it starts to flicker or if it breaks entirely in which case it visibly shatters into particles of the user's aura.
Odd, pretty sure I've seen it be visible, not blatantly so but like almost skin tight in the bit I've watched.
>Protected by something yes but like i explained above her semblance doesnt make her gradually stronger over time, she stores the damage she takes and then amps herself all at once, and she wouldnt activate her semblance at range in-chaarcter, she only really activates it in close to cqc range.
Yeah I got that, figured as much earlier too, but clarification is nice. Although, activating her semblance in cqc range I really dont see as a good idea, I was gonna say the best route would be to shotgun debris at him to overwhelm but then I realized all CD has to do is touch one of said debris and the rest along with that piece would just go back the source if he so chooses so... Well anyway, activating it within CQC, thus CD's effective range, I dont think is a good idea, because at that point CD can easily revert it back to normal the moment he lands a punch and while, there's like a 50/50 chance he may or may not have figured it out, I can definitely see him trying to restore what would appear to a suit Stand just to give it a shot and prevent any potential threat. At which atht point it's just Yang and CD punching each other in the metaphorical dick till either Josuke says time to fuse, Yang begins overpowering CD, CD beings overpowering Yang, one of the two attempts to create distance between em (Josuke has a variety of ways and is known to do that and I'm sure Yang can rocket herself out via KE shots), which brings the match back to neither can actually harm each other because Yang's KE and shells can easily be restored and Josuke doesnt really have a way to fuse or harm at range unless he honestly tries that rock throw trick but fusing is one thing that's a possible outcome, the rock trick, while it's something he can definitely do, idk if he'd think of that.
>Going by her fight against team FNKI, specifically Neon who bantered and insulted her the entire time, she'd get annoyed at best (And even then she went on to beat both of her opponents solo). And seeing how sensitive Yang is about her hair to the point of flying into a blind rage is one strand of hair is damaged she'd probably sympathize with Josuke.
I can definitly see them being chill as **** and bros normally, but no fun allowed, only blood, I guess. tbh I can see her poking fun at Josuke's hair if she got annpyed simply because it's a very easy target to make fun of, not gonna lie but Josuke is unironically asking for it, even if she brings up, not even insults it that could be enough to put him over the edge. I mean birds of a feather flock together, Josuke would probably feel her too.
Dont know but I'm feeling inconclusive, there's a lot of situations where either could pull a win, down to the point it almost feels like luck.
