In theory, knowing the size of parts of your opponent's anatomy could be useful for gauging what ranges you need for your attacks, & where to attack for precise strikes, useful in martial arts. Ex: It could help determine where precisely to swing one's fist to hit a vital spot or a pre-existing injury.
One problem with that. It doesn't apply to anyone other than women.
Nearly 50% of individuals in the world should be women, & I presume Terry fights some of them.
Forgive my asking, please, but how do we know he isn't using that assessment capacity to augment his fighting capabilities?
Because it's supposed to be a gag so there's no mention of him using it to his advantage in combat and his performance against females are the same as males.
Fair enough, I suppose.
Yeah, Terry is a genius when it comes to fighting but none of it has to do with knowing the bust/waist/hip ratio of a woman.
Proposing an alternate candidate for this.
I see two options here:
A strange windows PC with no known features other than blue-screening?
IIRC, part of the justification has to do with Caine being an AI in the computer program world that is The Amazing Digital Circus, hence him also having Data Manipulation for other stuff.
It's more "impressive", but I don't think that really makes it better- if I had to wrack my brain to think of uses the Windows 10 thing would probably come out on top slightly. But I'd lean towards the other interpretation.
If you had an ancient brick of a PC, like, IDK, Ford McGucket's old PC from Gravity Falls, it'd probably be useful for it to have the features of a better OS than whatever old stuff it's running on, right?

If that counts for EM, then I'm surprised there's not way more instances of that across this site. People getting a feel or "air" about someone is something that commonly occurs in entertainment.
Empathic Manipulation in its basic form is the ability to influence feelings and emotions. This example is pretty much all that's left of the Númenórean ability to inspire awe in people within Faramir.
I mean in the end if it's the primary method through which she makes herself stronger i'd struggle to call it bad, it's just used suboptimallyNominating Megumin for worst Power Mimicry.Megumin
Megumin is one of the main characters of the light novel, anime, CD drama, and manga series Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku Wo! Megumin is an Archwizard and the first person to join Kazuma's party. Being a Crimson Demon; Megumin possesses a high magic stat which allowed her to take the...
The Konosuba Wiki have detailed explanations but to summarise, every character can more or less learn some abilities they see by expending skill points, though the effectiveness is based on the user's stats, class, and their affinity with the skill so they can't learn a skill if they either don't have the required stats for it, aren't in the appropriate class, or have some sort of dislike towards the skill that may force them to invest more skill points than others or even render them never able to learn it. Furthermore, skill points aren't that easy to gain and most people don't just use them to copy any skill they see mid-combat because there's no known way to unlearn skills or refund skill points. As if the non-combat applicable nature isn't already bad enough, the reason why I picked Megumin specifically is because she absolutely refuses to learn any other spell besides Explosion despite being a talented Arch Wizard who can learn many different types of magic if she so wishes. Literally the only things she invests her skill points in are increasing the destructive power of Explosion and reducing cast time.Skills
Skills (スキル) are various abilities that an adventurer can learn through their Adventurer Card. Skills are any number of abilities learned by spending skill points on empty skills displayed on one's Adventurer Card. Skills can raise proficiency or teach how to perform a specific ability, as well...
Seems good
Her usage of skill points in and of itself isn't the bad thing because it does make her stronger even if not efficiently. I'm specifically referring to the Power Mimicry aspect of it. She practically denies herself that ability.
NGL, when I read all this my mind immediately went to Sanji who has the exact same type of information analysis with the only difference being he cannot fight a woman to save his life
Limited stuff is allowed I think. Who would you nominate if that's the case?
Zenigata has limited resurrection which only restarts his heart if he hears Lupin's name being said (something the grand majority of opponents wouldn't even think of doing)
Eh, at least he actually comes back to life immediately. Miss Chalice needs to convince someone to eat the cookie and she only gains a physical body for a few minutes (or at least that's what's written on the OP but @Flashlight237 said that it can apparently be a lot longer) before turning back into a ghost again, though she does have the benefit of being able to interact with others while dead. There's also Westley who needs someone else to administer the resurrection pill for him while he's still "slightly alive" so it won't even work if he's fully dead and he'll be paralyzed for a couple of hours or so after coming back. Honestly, I think Westley's case is far worse and deserves to be the one added to the OP.
Honestly I'd consider that infinitely better because I can name random characters who would just eat a random cookie, regardless of the amount of convincing. Saying a specific name that they'd have no real context about is another story, plus Zenigata doesn't get any means to tempt them into doing so. Plus Zenigata's resurrection is only applicable in heart failures, any other form of death is still permeant as oppose to Chalice who I believe can revive from much more
I don't even think that classifies as resurrection since the actual definition and the wiki itself requires the target to be dead first, that ain't resurrection that's just healing
Combat wise? Useless. But they can possibly do "something" depending on how he uses them, especially in conjunction with his Social Influencing.
I guess he could in theory do something with them, but I think whatever he could theoretically do is worse than "causing shaking in a shop" which is what's on there currently for worst vibration manip.
vsbattles.fandom.com
I was thinking Ainz too, however I quickly remembered he doesn't apply to it due to him having a very good reason for it. He keeps them on him so he can heal allies with it in case of emergencies, which doesn't make it completely worthless in combat.
You mean the allies he rarely has on the battlefield with him?
From what I can tell, the thread takes any possible situation into consideration. FFS someone just tried to argue Ichiban's vibration manipulation having some form of use. Ainz has plenty of scenarios he could theoretically be put in where the potions can have a use, hell he could theoretically use them in-universe as a means of dealing damage. Just because it's worthless to him/he barley ever uses it doesn't mean it's a bad power on it's own right.
Theoretically it can also heal other 4th wall breakers if they meet certain requirements, but that also goes against Spamtom since literally the only people to use this power actively fight him LOL
If that's the case, fine, but yeah nothing Ainz could bring forward wouldn't be hurt by trying to drink a healing potion for combat lol
Requirements like being present, since the F1 heal, IIRC, has Spamton Angel/Cherub things come down & kiss the Delta Warriors, so said 4th wall breakers would have to be there.
True.
But his generals of the Tomb of Nazarick aren't all undead, nor is his "Lord of the Forest" pet hamster thing, right?
all 4 of them that wouldn't be harmed. 3 of which having healing abilities that are much more reliable then getting a potion.
