    Why would that change anything? Soma's actual body is phased into the mirror dimension, while the appearance of him in the castle is just an image. If the Succubus manages to physically grab him, she interacts with his body, and not with the image. Therefore, since she is interacting with his...

    Something About Castlevania

    It is needed in this case, for the reasons I just outlined (i.e. The avoidance of damage is given by the intangibility, so if you bypass the intangibility, you bypass this avoidance). You haven't given any rebuttal whatsoever beyond "That's not how it works," when it is, in fact, how it works by...

    Yumiella Sad Low 1-C downgrade + Cosmology Upgrade 1-A

    Yeah, 1-A seems pretty straightforward. Fine by me.

    Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Verse Creation: The Cosmology Part 1

    I don't think this means much, truthfully. As said before, the "Wall' seems to be pretty much just the blank page on which the text of the novel is written, in which case, is obviously belongs to the "Reality" side of the dichotomy, as opposed to the "Fiction" side. Seems to be "between" them...

    Something About Castlevania

    The reason Soma is invulnerable to damage is the intangibility. If you bypass the intangibility, logically, you should be capable of dealing damage to him. You have to argue that the avoidance of damage has a totally different mechanism from the intangibility to say that you can bypass one, but...

    Something About Castlevania

    Why would that detail not be there? If it's just programmed to happen that way regardless, then the full animation will, in fact, play out regardless of what effect you have in place. What you mentioned is also not "goalpost moving" so much as "You mentioned a detail that made me suspicious on...

    Because if it's just something that all enemies with a grab mechanic can do (Not even just the Succubi. Every enemy that grabs you), then chances are that it's just how the game is programmed to work, with there being no need to insert lore explanations into it. It's not moving the goalpost...

    Something About Castlevania

    If this is something that just happens with every enemy that has a grab attack, then Life_of_King up there is probably correct, yeah. It's almost definitely just a game mechanic. Real world pop-sci articles mentioning causality don't really mean anything. No one is disputing that normal...

    Something About Castlevania

    That'd just apply to monsters on the level of the Succubus and up, whereas the current page treats it as universal to all creatures of chaos. The latter is demonstrably incorrect, as shown by the fact that the ability isn't useless in the game. Why would this support your point about causality...

    Something About Castlevania

    In fairness, this is true of the enemy version of the ability, but Soma's version does work exactly like that. Other point still applies, though. He's Invulnerable to all enemies while in that state, and the Kyoma Demon likewise is invulnerable to you while inside the mirror. NPI off of that is...

    Something About Castlevania

    We see what it entails, yeah. It's just hopping into mirrors to avoid attacks (And conversely being able to be harmed just fine when coming out of them, as the video linked in the OP shows). You also haven't really addressed the fact that they can't be harmed in that state, either. Why? Nothing...

    That's focusing on 1 point out of three. The overall proposal still stands. Why would it be enough?

    So: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Creatures_of_Chaos_(Castlevania) https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Belmont_Bloodline The bolded part is what we're focusing on. Three problems: 1) There's no mention of the demon "phasing through dimensions," he's just inside a mirror. 2) It's not...
