Validity of Time Travel

So basically I'm running a few different scenarios in which Time Travel is used as the Major Win Condition and I want to know which Win Cons are Valid and Invalid

Scenario 1:
A uses Time Travel to go to the past and kill B when B is younger and/or weaker removing B from the present/future

Scenario 2
A uses Time Travel to go into the Future and kill B when B is weak and very old

Scenario 3
A uses Time Travel to go into the Future where B is already dead (result of old age)

Scenario 4
A uses Time Travel to go the Past and Remove Factors which would lead to the birth of B thus removing B from the present/future

Scenario 5
In the case where B was originally sealed and was released do to certain events , A goes back in time and make sure the events that lead to B being released never happen causing B in the present/future to be resealed

Scenario 6
B uses an item(s) to transform into some OP being and get OP powers, so A uses Time Travel to go to the past and track down and remove every item that character B uses to become OP thus removing their OP powers and preventing them from becoming an OP being

Scenario 7
A uses Time Travel to travel into B's Future and to see how B is defeated in B's own verse and then uses that strategy to defeat B in the present

Please let me know your answers
Are these Valid Win Conditions of Time Travel or Not
 
To me, it looks like they would all work. But that's only if they are fighting in their original Universes or a crossover of their worlds. If they're fighting in a Neutral Universe with its own timeline then going back 50 Years wouldn't do anything if your opponent didn't exist in that timeline more than an hour ago.

The same goes for stopping them from obtaining their OP Hax or stopping them from being unsealed. If the character in question can just time travel through any timeline then there is no issue for all of these working.

So basically it depends on where their fighting and the limits on the Time Travel.
 
2 wouldn't work imo, it'd be effectively self BFR, the foe would win as his foe ****** off for a few decades.

3 too, he didn't even win, he just ****** off to a different point.

The rest should be ok, you're effectively actively making it so they don't exist, don't come to be, or actively killing them ahead of time.

I guess the difference is past stuff is aight, future stuff isn't (most of the time, if they could fight or attack the enemy till the future point, it wouldn't be self bfr for example as you can still fight and never truly left the fight).

Not sure about 3, it can be rated as Self W.O lol, but idk, the rest are fine
 
Scenario 1 : valid
Scenario 2 : valid via outliving but depends on set rules upon the match
Scenario 3 : Same as 2
Scenario 4 : valid
Scenario 5 : I'm not sure how this would work when but likely same as scenario 1 and 4
Scenario 6 : valid
Scenario 7 : you could say he travel in time to get information which would be infinite prep time if he can abuse it though this is a very roundabout way to think compared to just saying he gets information from travelling in the future. although in case of story still on going or verses where the person hasn't been defeated yet or has no information yet on how to beat him or exploit weakness I'm not sure
