Seeing things in slow motion means faster processing speed not faster attack speed or reaction speed. Which means it is not like the attack is in slow motion and he is faster than the attack it just means he has more time to think about things he can do
Incorrect. Because he's able to see things faster, he can react accordingly. That's literally how it works. That's why he was able to dispatch the guards so easily. That's how he was able to notice every little detail, their muscle movements, their fighting style, literally everything. He's able to see it, process it, and react accordingly.
I'm not saying it's a speed amp, or "reaction amp" per se, I'm saying that naturally as you process things faster you'll react to them the same, that's exactly what's going on.
Dude Hashirama is more trained than him in literally anything related to fighting it is not an argument bros
Look, I'm not denying that he's skilled. He's literally comparable to Madara for Christ sake. But downplaying Alibaba to compare him to a Chunnin is ridiculous. Aliababa
is a master swordsman. He's been trained by master swordsmen and beat MANY of them. He's able to easily discern their weakpoints, openings, and exploit them. He trained under someone who's fighting style is extremely hard to predict, and copied said style into his own. Now adding Life Review into this turns him into a monster.
Now I'm not saying "Oh he's going to magically find a random opening or weakness and win" but I'm saying he should be able to stand toe to toe with Hashirama albeit on the edge normally, BUT with Life Review he should be able to gain the edge in close combat.
Also another thing, when has he used LS in character? The only time he actually used it was against the Kyubi, not even to Madara himself. There's also the fact that he ALSO never uses the statue against Madara himself, and only used when Madara stacked Kyubi + Susanoo. He ALSO never used his sleep hax against Madara once. So I'm not sure where this "He uses all this in character; He uses LS in character; Statue also in character" is even coming from. He only used these to match said opponent. When Madara went big, so did he, when Madara had Kyubi, he went for restraining. So yes, it is out of character to use these abilities. Especially against a small opponent.
Also checked Hashirama's profile. The "Sleep hax" when inhaled renders the target
unconcious. Alibaba has canonically stayed conscious and relive life and death over and over again and also experience 200 years of the great flow without losing his sanity. He is definitely not getting effected by his sleep hax.
