Is this stated in any way or is it in-game statistics? Cause we don't use in-game stats as legit multipliers
Meh, I guess they're not valid, then.
Stamina recovery won't help if Taro puts a hole in her artery so while it does matter it isn't that important here since it is a fight to the death.
It will, in fact, matter, given that Mirinae can survive while decapitated. I'd be surprised if bleeding could take her out as easily as it does an unaugmented human.
Doesn't really matter since that's just a question of AP. AP concentrated on one point would pierce through it.
Her in-game resistance to piercing and slashing damage should have already told you this, but let me be clear: hard objects are, generally, harder to cut and pierce through. It is easier to pierce or cut through something soft. Hard objects disperse pressure and are likely to shatter before being pierced.
That's the issue, we need more proper skill feats rather than just knowledge that she is intelligent.
"Fighting against a Color" should say a lot. Especially against the Library, which previously killed the Purple Tear, the third most intelligent person in the City.
This is a solid feat but it tells us nothing about her skills specifically. She is skilled, gifted is a given, but martial art knowledge and feats is what is important. For example, Saitama lives in a world of monsters and heroes and trained for like 5 years or more. Issue is, he trained his strength and speed, not his skills, and thus was being outmanoeuvred by Garou, who was a martial artist. Overwhelming abilities and raw power is very much possible here.
Additionally Taro Sakamoto is the official strongest assassin in his country. The country is filled with assassins who are very much picked not on dumb strength but on skill of combat and assassination. Sakamoto fought some serial killers which could massacre dozens of extremely skilled assassins with ease. One of the guys relied on like dozens of wires that could cut Sakamoto and despite his uncomfortable fat physique and terrain (literally 150 meters on the beams of tokyo tower) he was able to overwhelm him and come out mostly unscathed.
What Sakamoto has is a lot of feats where he has shown that he can not only figure out tough opponents and on the fly plans but can strategize fast in any situation.
At one point he was on an amusement ride and a friend of his, Shin, who is a telepath was fighting a guy who he couldn't read. They were on a stage easily around a hundred meters away. The dude was blindfolded and Sakamoto observed the opponent (who is also a very skilled assassin) and pretty much thought up what to do and how to attack, reading the guy like a book, and Shin, by reading Sakamoto's thoughts, absolutely skill-stomped the fella.
Sakamoto is genuinely insane and constantly considers everything in his surroundings and how to use it to take out opponents.
It's important to note that absolutely
nobody in the PMverse reaches a
remotely decent tier without skill. It is directly stated in Limbus Company — whose main cast are around Grade 5 Fixer tier by that point — that anyone with insane body augmentations but without the skill to back them up is "just a sturdier punching bag". This is a direct statement present in Dante's notes. Not only that, but when a Color ends up in one of the WARP trains and spends the two thousand years of distorted time (in a dimension where time flows differently from ours and 2k years there are <10 seconds here) training everyone who got stuck there with him, they all come back "on the level of Grade 1 Fixers". There wasn't much room to give them surgeries to augment their bodies, so even if they did get some level of upgrade, that means that skill is still a massive factor capable of bringing someone to a Grade 1 Fixer's level. And lo and behold: Mirinae is such a Grade 1 Fixer, comparable to people who were training for 2000 years in combat skills.
Don't get me wrong, they do say "if we want to physically get stronger, we need to be willing to shell out some cash". However, combat skills are front and center when it comes to telling how much of a GOAT someone is in this verse. Grade 1s should very trivially surpass in sheer skill every single one of the geniuses from real life's history put together.
Oh, and by the way, as for how intelligent and skilled are the people who Mirinae managed to put up a fight against... Roland and Gebura are Color Fixers, Binah was once an Arbiter (so above that, though currently nerfed to "merely" Color level) and the Purple Tear could see through dimensions and know scan through future outcomes across different timelines, making her a mastermind who — similar to what is shown is Leviathan when a Distortion gains a lesser version of Purple Tear's ability to scan (and in her case travel through) different dimensions — also fights like they already know what's going to happen and what to do next.
You are
expected to fight the Hana Association's Reception with your best Star of the City deck, so having a bunch of Grade 1/Color level characters as your Librarians is simply expected. This is also canon, as the Librarians are directly stated to be getting stronger with each Reception, and a far greater number of Receptions occur in canon than do in-game (remember, the pictures of the Library show an absolute fuckton of books, and one person does not become more than a few: the Library has killed way more people than we as players get to). Meaning by this point it's no stretch whatsoever to say that each and every Librarian is at least on par with a Grade 1 Fixer, given how easy it is to equip a floor with only Key Pages and Combat Pages on that level (not to mention Attributions, Abnormality pages and E.G.O pages, which... honestly make us peak Color level by the end, not to mention the pages themselves may not be canon but the obtaining of the abilities from books, abnormalities and E.G.O most definitely are).
This means nothing in a one v one. Obama has far more knowledge of politics than your average guy but he'd lose to a boxer even if they've equal power.
This still speaks to her overall intellect and ability to plan and strategize. If Obama were also a genius combatant and could apply his knowledge of people obtained in politics to combat, it would absolutely give him an edge.
Doesn't seem to be on her profile. Surviving after being affected by sth similar to Mahito is immortality type 2.
Additionally it still means Taro could take her down as even if you can survive it for a while you'll still run out of blood eventually.
Look at her stamina and the references linked.
Doesn't change much. Unless this magic gives you crazy skill feats it has no purpose here.
Oh, but it
also does. You know how Mirinae uses glasses? She doesn't need them. The City has managed to cure every single disease in the world. There is no cancer, no heart attacks, no alzheimer's, no nothing. So long as you have the money, you can extend your life to a really large degree. Nobody in the City who has any cash suffers from myopia. Meaning Mirinae's glasses are not there to fix her sight, but to add to it: they add information to what she sees and helps analyse opponents.
The issue being that at the current skill comparison I don't see her landing enough hits on him to render him fatally damaged. I find the insinuation that she'll just survive all forms of pummeling easily unfounded. Unless she's literally immortal (in which case make a CRT) she will die from enough precise injuries.
Again, check her stamina field. She won't survive literally
all forms of pummeling, but she'll survive far more than Sakamoto has ever seen in an opponent.
Sakamoto is able to adapt to superhumans well. He has fought assassins who had supernatural technology and pretty much immortality and limited shape shifting before. He can very much learn the movement of the weapon and even turn it against her.
Did they survive having their guts melted by PALE damage, which is "death itself, damage to the soul" and could still fight?
