Pls focus on the abilities instead of calcs..

The verse has like, a shit ton of calcs already

Viott and CatLover can evaluate and calculate the feats, which is quite helpful due to the scale used in the verse.

Anyway, I want to reiterate: if anyone want to help with the skills, feel free.

Are you guys down on discussing scaling lines for profiles? I think a tier list would work.

A scaling chain wouldn't be bad, unless you mean something else.

Btw, I've made progress with the abilities blog. I've started adding descriptions and references, beginning with the Paths.

Switch "immunity to Power Mimicry" to "resistance to Power Mimicry."

I considered leaving it as resistance, but since we have no proof that a path can be copied, I think we can say that they are "immune" to copying.
 
Here's my thoughts.
  • IA is not a pseudo invisible attack, the ability works by striking within the opponents blind spots via speed mastery.
  • Little iffy on the dura neg for Conviction, when Jake kicked at Mugak's knee destroying nerves or struck at his head to cause his brain to rattle, can these not be achieved through physical output alone? I mean, if someone were to get hit hard enough, you can cause them to get concussed.

It's true that AI involves attacking blind spots at near-speed blitz speed, but that doesn't negate the fact that it can be categorized as such. Many attacks by James or Sinu were direct, targeting the face, and Jinyoung, even at a considerable distance, was able to attack blind spots where peripheral vision is supposed to reach. Does this mean he's becoming invisible? No, but I think it has more to do with deceiving perception than simply being a speed boost.

Well, I think you're right that it shouldn't count entirely as a Duraneg ability. After some research, I realized that nerve damage can actually be inflicted with a low kick, and a concussion can still occur with enough force. So, I'm going to change it to Damage Boost and also keep the Damage Reduction Negation (since it negates Endurance Mastery). Otherwise, I think Jake would have pressure point attacks on his own.

Although I'm still wondering if we could consider him a limited Duraneg because he repeatedly damaged Gun or Jinrang by breaking Kitae's defense.
 
I hope PB daniel and Goo get some developement arcs this time. They have been left behind for too long.

imagine if its Goo Vs Kitae that ptj is cooking instead of Gun vs Kitae

I believe you're conflating your perception of an object and the objects visibility as a property. Think of it like this, if you close your eyes with a box in front of you, does the box become invisible now? No, of course not, visibility is based on light, if it passes through something to your eyes, it would be visible to you. Similarly, if something is happening outside of our field of view, does it mean that they are invisible? Again no, you not being able to perceive something doesn't change the properties of it.

I'm not sure what ability it would fall under, but by the Wiki's standard, it wouldn't be invisibility.

edit : also, what is "pseudo-invisibility"?

Well, that makes sense, but in that case, we can classify it as Illusions. So I'll leave it as a Speed Boost at Blitz levels, since invisible attacks... well, they're still visible, yet they can't be perceived by others, which justifies classifying them as a Blitz.

I wanted to call it Pseudo-Invisibility because Invisible Attack is based on bursts of movement, not absolute invisibility.
 
Another thing, immunity to power mimicry is NLF

Copying is skill based, if your opponent is far less analytical, experienced etc etc, ofc he won't be able to copy you

Take Yujiro for example, the dude literally no diffs the verse in MA, ANPR, info analysis and every category, you think he won't be able to copy people far less skilled than he is?
 
Probably going to make another PTJ verse CRT (Non-lookism characters) to fix the speed ratings as a lot of them are still Supersonic+ despite not having that zack calc anymore. Also saw that Juvenile Offender was supersonic+ without any reasoning lol.

Current relevant characters for Inverse PS
No Path > Pathless
Kitae's start out without Path Amps
James and Gap are interchangable

Need more from Johan before placing him
 
Does Technique Mastery have demonstrations of AnPr, information analysis, or unpredictability that can be used?
