7-C Brackets Round 8

The dragon starts by creating floating balls that fire danmaku (can be seen on it's profile) at the enemy while it stays iobile in a mana shield.

If the shield starts getting damaged too heavily or it's magic is nulled, it breathes fire and teleports around, and sometimes fires electricity.

What does he do?
 
He would dodge the danmaku by becoming a shadow to become intangible while spamming accurate shots from his pistols. He also spams short range teleportation as well to close the gap and can match the dragon with his flight. If he feels that he is struggling he would start spamming SoL laser attacks and he would enter his demon form which makes him a little trigger happy and he starts to spam hellfire shots in a pseudo danmaku type attack. Edit: depending on what gun he is using in this key he is either using holy manip or hellfire manip. Right gun = holy

left gun = hellfire

but he spams both of them in tandem.
 
The dragon has... should have non-physical interaction like every other magic user in the verse.

Characters can hurt ghosts, beings with elemental intangibility, things that are imaginary (because... reasons), etc. with mana, and obviously it uses that in abundance. This includes the C.E.O. (part of the The President), that can be made out of shadows. I'll add that unless anyone has a problem with that.

I do have to ask how long he can stay intangible for, tough.

The dragon has "short range" (several tens to hundreds of meters) of teleportation too, and mana barriers stop things with no travel time like teleportation and telekinesis, too.

FTL shots can simply be blocked by the mana barrier, and wouldn't the guys danmaku just get blasted away by the dragons? It creates massive gusts of wind that can blow away people with Class G lifting strength, so unless the shots are intangible they'll be having major problems reaching it.
 
NPI does not mean you can touch shadows, especially when it works on stuff like ghosts an elemental stuff(also isnt a CRT required for something like that?). The president does not have intang though? Has he actually shown it? His tp is dozens of meters in range.

He seems to be able to do it for pretty long and also he can spam a shorter lasting version of it.

He can spam the SoL attacks so that would eventually break past the barrier.

The shots are literally light or hellfire themselves. I dont think those can be blown away.
 
The president transformed into both shadows and lightning.

Intangibility... doesn't sound like a bracket friendly skill. But can you actually give a time-frame for pretty long?

He is a quiet weaker, especially since the main shtich of lasers doesn't work on energy fields.

There is no reason for hellfire to not be blown away. Fire can be just fine, and hellfire means nothing extra without in-verse context.
 
If Dragoniak can hit imaginary beings, he can hit shadows.

I'm also not sure about how fair long lasting intangibility that isn't affected by standard NPI is.

ok but did anyone hit him during that?

Like a few seconds to a minute? The shorter lasting one be basically becomes light for an instant while teleporting a shorting distance

He is weaker but he can spam attacks in quick succession.

He can enhance the hellfire with his light attacks to make it stronger and to give the light attacks the hellfire properties.

I dont see how imaginary beings compare to shadows tbh. hitting imaginary beings is pretty specific.

It is not that long lasting.
 
Hitting beings that don't even exist is superior to hitting shadows which do exist. In fact, I don't really see why being a shadow is anything special compared to being imaginary.

A whole fight, or a good part of it, could last one minute even without intangibility. I'd say it's pretty unfair.
 
The only reason why hitting a shadow would be any different from any other elemental intang is assuming they are literal shadows, i.e. the lack of light and by extension not physically real...

Hitting something not physically real totally acounts for that, so that danmaku is gonna be painful with that 4 time AP advatntage. Especially if he thinks he can phase through them and runs into it.

.... should I swap him for someone else then?
I mean, it's not your nomination. I'd rather wait for what Weekly has to say.
 
All previous abilities to a greater extent plus Matter Manipulation, Biological Manipulation, Mind Manipulation

...'scuse me?
 
How does flight get around airborne danmaku?

Han had a X20 speed amp to get around it, she doesn't
 
That... doesn't just let you ignore gusts of wind, lighting bolts and light beams in the dozens...

Especially if you also have to concentrate on fighting back.
 
First of all, where the **** is that not hax?

Secondly, if that's transmutation, it resists.

Thirdly, Rocker just said she doesn't start with that.

its no the type of hax that was disallowed.

It is cyborgization in this key and mind control.

she wont start with it but she would use it.
 
...What? This isn't about a "type of hax that is disallowed". It's about hax, period.

Intangibility wasn't an exemple in the "overwhelming hax", but it was still not allowed.

And again, cybernization how?


Regardless, find a non-haxed character, will you? You already killed this whole bracket at this point.
 
Cybernization in that she looks at the opponent and they get turned into robots under her control
 
That's transmutation. It resists it.

It's also hax, and gets yeeted out of the bracket. So do you have an actually non-haxed entry, or do we just skip this match?

What made you think this was a good idea for a haxless brackets?
 
Rocker1189 said:
there have been haxless brackets before and they have never been this strict with it.
Like Dargoo's? That led to stuff like 1km AoE void manip
 
Just so we get this right, the precognition, soul manip and life/memory absorption. How do they work and how potent are they?
 
The precog is basic precog allows him to predict stuff like normal, his soul manip is from his attacks also hurting the soul and the life/memory absorption just allows him to view the memories of whatever he attacks which also allows him to learn about their abilities and thei fighting style.

life absroption is an over time drain of life around him when he transforms.
