Close-Range Tourney Match 1: Yor Briar vs Riptor
- Thread starter Naito-desu
- Start date
- 1,900
- 2,241
Attack Potency:
Lifting Strength:
So the Robo-Dino's got Yor beat in physicals. As for haxes-
Yor:
- Yor is at least 5.85 Megajoules from scaling to this non-serious feat
- (Modern) Riptor is at least 10.94 Megajoules from scaling above Mira's feat
Lifting Strength:
- Yor is well above 7,753.97 kg from scaling above Fiona's feat (Possibly above 12,923.2 kg going by the author statement of Twilight being a 60 - 70 if Yor was a 100, and Twilight is above Fiona)
- Riptor is 53.85 tonnes from scaling to this Sabrewulf's feat
So the Robo-Dino's got Yor beat in physicals. As for haxes-
Yor:
- Pressure Points
- Poisoned Needles (Strong enough to kill an elephant, although that specific line is Anime Only so idk if it is canon)
- Instinctive Reaction
- Fire Breath
- Either Disease or Plasma Manipulation (Teeth and claws are laced with "either teeming with microbes, able to cause infections similar to flesh-eating bacteria with the slightest scratch, or made of focused plasma that burn through the skin of her victim.")
- Hypnosis (Via directly looking into her gaze)

Any who here's my take on this-
Riptor holds a pretty sizable advantage over Yor in terms of physicals.
Both have edged weaponry that could serious mess the other up after a couple cuts.
If Yor can guess the pressure points on a cow, chances are she can guess the pressure points on a dinosaur.
If Yor gets close then it goes to Riptor, because I don't think Yor can do anything against being set on fire, and Riptor uses fire breath in a lot of her attacks.
However, Yor could also just throw her needles at Riptor from well out of the dino's range.

One thing for sure, Yor outskill Riptor here
And he also need to avoiding the poison on Yor's weapon, sure he has a very powerful flames but she can just dodge it with her IR

I wouldn't be so sure about this, knowing the pressure points of extant animals doesn't mean she automatically knows or is able to devise those of a creature she's never seen before, especially if it's a hybrid with cybernetic parts. For example, Riptor's spine is completely mechanic, and we see throughout her body various other pieces of tech, meaning that her physiology isn't simply unknown to Yor in the first place, but hides more meets the eye.
Regardless, I believe Yor is smart enough to not try to pressure point something like Riptor, knowing she could fail and pay the price.
I don't think Yor really outskills. Riptor is far from stupid, despite looking and behavior like a dinosaur, she's got human-like intelligence, and is noted to be the most capable of all her sisters, and recurrently establishes herself as the leader when particularly noteworthy stalkers challenge her role as head of the pack.
Riptor is among Ultratech's top cadres, which include the main Fulgore and Cinder, and her role as a member of the alliance, means she's fought clones of basically every KI character and other creatures such as Omens.
Riptor's first achievement was defeating a group of Fulgores while her pack was outnumbered, and while they didn't possess the same skill, all those Fulgores had the same weapons and tools as the main one.
Riptor's fighting style is also precisely constructed, she doesn't mindlessly assaults the opponent, but carefully bides her time and waits for the right moment to strike. She is also prone to hit-and-run strategies,
Riptor is also an unconventional opponent to Yor, who has never fought this kind of enemy, while Riptor battles anthropomorphic beings all the time.
Yor might also be deceived by Riptor's appearance and behavior, not expecting her to be much more intelligence than she looks like, or even to breath flames.
Yor's IR and ES are extremely good, but I wouldn't say she can just dance around Riptor's attacks.
I also wouldn't underestimate Riptor's "Rage", which is a decent speed boost and gives her tail even higher range.

Well i mean Riptor is still part of flesh so pressure point are still gonna be dangerous, and poison as well
So i guess they are comparable each others, if not Riptor has the slightly advantage here
I mean same can be said for Yor as well
Yeah but she's not stupid/slouch in combat, once she know what Riptor is she would do what the best take her down
Thats true, but you need to remember that Yor has afterimage creation as well, she can trick her if one of the flames hit her

The poison most likely yes, but pressure points differen greatly from a creature to another. Yor can guess, but she very well fail and I doubt she'd expose herself to such a rysk knowing the possibilities of success are low.
Yes, I'd give Riptor a slight advantage out of sheer habit.
Totally, I wasn't questioning it, but just saying Riptor's apparent wild behavior is instead well-planned.
I agree with this too, she'd just have to struggle more than she's used to.
They might serve as a brief distraction, but from the scan given, they don't really work like, for example, Goku and Master Roshi circling around you.
How likely would it be for Yor to be hypnotized? I see a scenario where both stare and study each other in order to figure out the best moment to strike. Unfortunately, if Yor gazes into Riptor's eyes, she falls for the hypnosis.
I don't know her very well, so I was just imagining the scene inspired by both being calculating assassins.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Riptor likes to pounce on the opponent and pin them down, with techniques such as Talon Rake or her first throw. Given the strength difference, Yor would be doomed if this were to happen.

How long does Yor need to be looking at Riptors eyes to be hypnotized?

Unknown, supposedly instantaneous, as the source says to never look directly into her eyes.

Has anyone in the verse ever looked into Riptor's eyes before?

No, all of her fights were either gameplay or off screen, and when the battles with other characters occurred, it was a situation of general chaos.

I believe Yor is considerably more skilled even taking in consideration that Riptor isn't brainless, and that's more so because her own skill feats (and the ones from people above who she scale) seems more impressive, though is true that the fact that she facing something like a dinosaur could throw her out a bit. The biggest problem is likely the hypnosis through eye contact since she don't have a way to counter that or know about it (yes her istincts help her against danger but don't know if they could tell her about something like don't make eye contact or else she would get brainwashed).

Yeah, depending on how Hypnosis would take here, it's either incon or Riptor subdue Yor with hypnosis
But then again Yor being an agile fighter with IR and can created an afterimage, i think the possibility of Yor looking at Riptor eyes might be low

The problem is that the time needed for Riptor's Hypnosis to work is unknown.

It's something Ultratech installed into the stalkers (Riptor's kind) to let them catch their preys more easily and the instruction manual (of the stalkers themselves in-verse) says to never look into their eyes when feeding them, otherwise you'll be their meal instead.
I doubt it's gonna more than a few moments, but I can't confirm that.
It's unlikely to happen during the mids of the action, but I don't see it so unlikely if Yor decides to take a moment and study Riptor.
Riptor does that as well, especially when entering predator mode, which mimics what many animals do in real life.
Besides, that's not Riptor's only wincon, and if she deems the battle too tough, she can call an airstrike on Yor, with the only flaw being that it takes an hour to come in, but Riptor's stamina comes exactly from that, and she's prone to bide time and do hit-and-run (see her Primal and Survival runs).

I'd say doing a skill comparison doesn't really work, as both are extremely good and experienced in what they do, but in different ways. Yor surely has the skills and smarts to keep up, she's just no used to this opponent.

1. Is Riptor's Disease/Plasma Manipulation a one-shot move?
2. Would Yor's Poison one-shot Riptor?

Considering the poison can killed an elephant in instant (or so? Correct me), i think it could
- 8,887

Iirc the episode only said it can kill an elephant, without specifiying the time, but the original video has been taken down and I can't find another.
No, but the former would infect Yor's wounds and worsen them overtime, while the latter would let Riptor slice clean to her body with every scratch and light her clothes on fire.
OE is always restricted unless op says so.

Sponsor mode: Well, how about the time to check out Spy x Family in Muse Indonesia channel? They have all the episodes but dubbed in Indonesian
Disease is fair considering Yor only resisted poison
Okay, good to know
Btw i'm not going to be around for a few days or so, so i hope someone can change my spot for debating with Yor until i'm back
