Uraume Blocks PB Slight Fix (JJK)

This calc

Distance Uraume moves
The hand we see in the top panel is Uraume's left hand, meanwhile the hand that blocked Piercing Blood is the right one.

The calc measures the distance Uraume moved from left hand center to piercing blood's path which wouldn’t be accurate since it got blocked by the other hand which is below that.

The distance Uraume moved her hand should extend to the bottom of the panel and half of palm width should be added too since all we see of the right hand is the pinky. That distance would be from the center of the right hand to Piercing Blood's path.

The Mach angle
The Mach angle isn’t accurate. If you measure it directly you’ll get 24 deg which is Mach 2.459.

This is quite minor but Piercing Blood scales to Supersonic+ because of this and this small change makes it just Supersonic.

Adding force?
I also think it could be good to add LS to the calculation. Uraume blocked Piercing Blood which could be a good LS feat (which she currently has 0 of).

Piercing Blood is accelerating here since it causes a sonic boom right in front of Uraume rather than right next to where it's fired.

If you find the distance from Uraume to the boom and the total distance between Choso and Uraume you can find the distance it took Piercing Blood to reach that speed and the force from that.


Updated calc

Agree: @AbaddonTheDisappointment
Agree but to Mach 2.459 for Uraume: @Drite77

There's also the distance PB covered that would have to be accounted for, she reacts prior to the panel used and gets her hands up in the time PB moved.
 
I feel like we shouldn't allow "feats" like this, since they aren't what the OP is claiming.

I disagree with this calc.

We do have rules for something similar, and I feel like it should cover this as well.

Our rules here are only about evading, but they should apply to anything similar to this in general.

"Refrain from calculating feats based on dodging attacks from other characters at extreme proximity, as this is primarily a trope used to exaggerate a narrow miss rather than a literal representation of overwhelming speed. Taking it at face value is often inconsistent with the battle in which the feat occurs, where the opponents are presented as equals, but the calculation results in them being considered several times faster. This should only be used when the character in question is greatly superior to the one who's attack he is evading and the speed of the attack is concretely stated, such as being able to surpass the speed of sound, or light, or uses a basis in the Real World such as the speed of an athlete's punch. If the two fighters are equal, you should simply scale them to the stated speed of the attack, or off of other feats they perform."

Uraume isn't greatly faster than Piercing Blood; she barely blocked it. She saw Choso charging up Piercing Blood with convergence, and he was several meters away from her, yet she just barely blocked it. If she were Mach 4.8 like the calculation claims, she'd easily be able to react to a Mach 2.4 attack.

Yet the speed utterly shocked her, and she barely blocked it. This is the same thing our rules mention about evading punches, yet this case is blocking. Her being Mach 4.8 would mean she stood there and waited for it to hit her. That implies she wanted to get hit, which contradicts what we see.

I'm not in the mood to debate, so I won't argue any further. If you all disagree with me, that's whatever, but I didn't want to ignore this.
 
I'm siding with Rusty more, we shouldn't try to get higher speed feats when people are comparable like that
 
However the old calc is still wrong. So what should be done?
According to the quote from the punch dodging rule, Uraume would just be able to scale to the speed of the attack itself instead. Does that seem fine?
 
I also think Rusty and Damage agree with the other option, but still worth talking to them
 
Additionally Uraume was holding back the entire time before Shinjuku
Uraume has never thrown a punch in the manga nor shown incredible speed. They’re not a physical fighter, and if anything, what they’re “holding back” (lol) is their CT.

Regardless, that’s the same as that Yuji feat in Shibuya and that one Hakari “lightning” feat.
 
this is regarding the punch dodging rule when they're relative characters
but uraume is inferior, so you can't scale em relative when they note the move is super fast
No she isn’t, she's comparable. The feat by itself is sufficient proof of that and her calling it fast doesn’t necessarily mean she's slower than it. Although at this point such concerns with the calc are more about scaling that actual math stuff, more fitting of a CRT. We currently accept Uraume to be 4 times faster than Piercing Blood in reaction speed and chainscale her to Kenjaku who is blatantly and consistently shown to be faster than Piercing Blood. You not liking that is not my threads concern.

Your calc is not correct. Uraume did not move the moment Piercing Blood was shot at her, she blocked it at the last moment. I get that you disagree with the result the calc gets, but that doesn’t mean you can go and apply a higher timeframe that isnt actually accurate in order to get a lower end that fits what you want.

In a pure mathematical sense my calc is correct, however it gets a result that can be considered inconsistent due to the punch dodging rule. I can get that. However, what that means is that the result isn’t usable, not that it isn’t mathematically correct and should be changed to purposely get a lower result.


And let's not just say this feat isn’t valid because it's like Yuji's feat. Yuji has two whole pages clarifying that he is still slower than the damm attack. He is straight up stated to not be able to properly react to it, having to go off of pure timing and even then getting hit by it. On top of that, if you were to calc it you'd get a result slower than the attack itself.
Meanwhile Uraume is shot at without her expecting it and manages to block it either way.

Uraume quite blatantly is not comparable in any sense.
The only thing that you have saying they're comparable is that they blocked it in close proximity, when it was fired 6 meters away and she just started to block it when it got close to her.
This wasn't even like Kenjakus where there is more argument due to him smiling at the attack and proving a point, it got shot in her face, she started to react when it got close (which means that it's even worse than Subsonic+ reactions), then narrowly blocked it, then instantly said it was "fast".

The reason for why the thread of dodging punches is considered as equals and relative is because they are in close proximity punching and dodging moves from characters relative to them from less than a meter away. Reacting to sound a meter away gets you speed of sound reactions. Reacting to it 2 meters away gets you subsonic+. Reacting to it 6 meters away gets you subsonic. I made an entire thread about stuff like this for this exact reason, because there's absolutely no reason why someone has reaction time several times faster than something they couldn't block or dodge.
Uraume barely blocked something fired from 6 meters away and called it fast. You cannot sit here and try to argue Uraume is comparable just to get a mini "compromise" based on the other thread.

Uraume has quite literally 0 scaling to Kenjaku that is accepted, and even regarding disagreed scaling, she has no scaling to Kenjaku in the manga either, so I don't know why the hell uraume scales to be 4x faster. And if Uraume scaled 4x faster, she wouldn't be getting semi offguarded by a charged up attack she watched charge that was 4x slower than her moving in a straight path from 6 meters away that she's capable of aimdodging that she called fast.

#1. She did not start blocking when it got close to her, the first panel of the attack blatantly contradicts logic when we see that there's a sonic boom close to Uraume yet we see that the actual shockwave was formed meters away. The scan does not show that she started blocking when it got close, it shows that she was already trying to block by the time it appeared close to her, emphasizing the narrow dodge, not the "deliberate waiting". This is proven because Uraume's hands were at her sides but they were miraculously near her face by the time piercing blood got through.

Rusty's statement explains it already
Uraume isn't greatly faster than Piercing Blood; she barely blocked it. She saw Choso charging up Piercing Blood with convergence, and he was several meters away from her, yet she just barely blocked it. If she were Mach 4.8 like the calculation claims, she'd easily be able to react to a Mach 2.4 attack.

Rusty's single message dismantles the entire point. Rusty's point isn't saying "she's comparable but struggled", Rusty's point says "she's not even comparable to it, because she struggled from several meters away".

#2. Yuji had 2 whole pages clarifying that he's still slower than the attack, not able to properly react to it, having to go off pure timing, and he's still capable of blocking it in the exact same manner as Uraume.
Blocking it is not an issue. Many people have blocked piercing blood. A weakened Gojo and Sukuna have blocked Piercing Blood. Yuji has blocked piercing blood yet he notes that it's too fast for him to dodge at far distances. The biggest thing is dodging piercing blood, which takes actual better speed, which Uraume cannot do.

#3. The rule based on the evading punches is based on characters implied to be comparable to each other outside of the feat in place.
Taking it at face value is often inconsistent with the battle in which the feat occurs, where the opponents are presented as equals, but the calculation results in them being considered several times faster.
Yet Uraume has no scaling to Piercing Blood outside of this narrow ass block from forever ago. Everyone Uraume scales to falls under the Transonic cap but you wanna say Uraume's 4x faster. Every dodge of Uraume's nature has been rejected except Kenjaku's because we haven't had a thread to actually tackle it, and you're trying to say this one is definitive proof that Uraume's comparable. No.

To try to use Uraume, a non physical combatant, who, when 6 meters away, watches Choso prepare the technique, watches the technique be charged up, watches the technique get fired, start to block as soon as they can mentally collect that it got fired when they had the entire chance to aimdodge, doesn't even cover a meter after the technique covers 6, still need more time to block it, and blocks it the moment it gets into their face, then calls it fast, and try to use it to think that the technique is comparable to her own speed, is about the biggest batch of bull possible to be conceived in the history of calc group discussion threads.

God forbid someone calls a technique fast from half a dozen meters away yet "scale 4x faster" or even "comparable". No.

#4 My calculation measures the absolute lowest it can be. Choso fired a technique. Uraume started blocking prior to when we see the technique almost land, is in the process of blocking when it's close, and fully blocks, so we can calc that total.

We used the wrong hand in the calc? Cool.
To try to say Uraume is comparable in speed to piercing blood based off of this narrow dodge is dishonest as hell.
 
Meanwhile Uraume is shot at without her expecting it and manages to block it either way.
We know sorcerers can sense the spark of powerful techs, Choso's PB is apparently the greatest thing ever to Kamo and stated with all his strength, why would she not sense it? She jumps to Kenjaku to fight Choso, why argue she's not expecting it?

We literally watch him charge it so idk where this "without her expecting it" nonsense is coming from
 
Wouldn't Uraume have scaling at Kenjaku's level or higher because she could somewhat keep up with Jackpot Hakari, I mean she wasn't doing well and getting ragdolled but its something.

I think she was just off guard since she didn't except anyone to pose a threat to her, arrogance does that to you.

It was also the fastest Piercing Blood so I don't want to hear no "Yuji is faster than Uraume" 😭
 
I did, I still havent seen anyone explain why Uraume getting shocked and not excepting Piercing Blood means anything. She clearly didn't know it was gonna be that fast, she didn't even know Choso could do Piercing Blood.

We literally watch him charge it so idk where this "without her expecting it" nonsense is coming from

She didn't except him to be an actual threat, you can literally see Uraume say

"It's fast, so THIS is piercing blood?"

She had no idea Choso could do it, had no idea it was this fast and had no idea there was anyone who could at least pose a threat.
 
Your argument as to why Uraume was offguard was because Uraume, the individual who can sense cursed energy, who obviously sensed a large mass of cursed energy, from 6 meters away, didn't know what ability was going to hit her in the face.

So "not knowing what ability" now means that it's "off guard".

Yeah goodnight bro.
 
Your argument as to why Uraume was offguard was because Uraume, the individual who can sense cursed energy, who obviously sensed a large mass of cursed energy, from 6 meters away, didn't know what ability was going to hit her in the face.
Yeah ofc Uraume who directly says "Oh so THIS is Piercing Blood" knew Piercing Blood was coming, knew it would be fast and knew it was actually important.
So "not knowing what ability" now means that it's "off guard".
It's literally implied not knowing what you are dealing with is one of the biggest issues, you cannot evade or counter it fast enough most of the time. Exactly how they got Sukuna with Cursed Speech in the Unlimited Void.

But sure whatever, I don't want to deal with your JJK takes at all.
 
Yeah ofc Uraume who directly says "Oh so THIS is Piercing Blood" knew Piercing Blood was coming, knew it would be fast and knew it was actually important.
That makes it even worse cause Uraume knows what Piercing Blood is, watched Choso charge it up with pressure for 5 business days (even Kamo had enough time to react and comment on Choso charging it), would've been able to sense his Cursed Energy and still just barely blocked it despite being 6 meters away.
 
This ain't boutta be one of them threads where someone makes a claim, I drop a ****** argument, nobody comments again, thread dies

What's happening, what's the consensus, and do we need more staff?
 
What about the LS? Is that fine besides the changes needed depending on speed?
 
LS for what she got a hole through her hands
Edit: Idk if it works like that, it wasn't like she pushed the whole thing back, she pushed back multiple sections of it coming at her, it's like withstanding water, you didn't push it all you only pushed what touched you
 
She's able to keep it from ripping through for a bit. The damage shouldn't invalidate the feat.

I don't really know enough about JJK to agree or disagree with a character scaling or not to an attack's speed
 
I don't know if calc group members have any weight when it comes to character scaling. This sounds like something knowledgeable members would talk about.

My opinion still stands. I don't think Uraume is faster or even equal to Piercing Blood.

The calculation that puts Uraume at Mach 4.8 is contradicted by what we see in the panels.

I completely agree with KingTempest here.
 
1. There are several cgm against Eljoaki calc already.
2. Method by which Joaki calculates speed of piercing blood is almost accepted invalid in this thread(need a bit more of cgms opinions).
Using Tempest method and Mach 1.1 for speed of PB, gives us impressive Mach 0.2 for Uraume speed. You might as well don't bother with calc
