I guessed right, starlight started saying stupid things

Starlight AND Imaginary and the hilarious shit is that I didn't even highlight, this is literally them losing it because they can't explain why Iori would ever lose to Yoriichi or anyone else in Demon Slayer and is just grasping on any and every little thing they can:


It doesn't say that. Hitting things with the flat of your blade is swordsmanship too.

Yeah, not with Black Keys they aren't:
Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Black Key [T]
Black Key
Kotomine Kirei
One of the charms to repel devils used by the Holy Church.
It is a symbolic tool for the Agents, but not many favor using it as it is difficult to handle and has weak physical attack power.
Its effectiveness as a sword is low, and due to its length, it is used exclusively as a throwing weapon.
Most of the things they classify as "evil" are phenomena and ghosts, so the Black Key used to fight them emphasizes the ability to intervene spiritually, rather than physical attack power. The blades of the Black Key used by experts or chosen Agents are made from magical energy, and only the hilt is actually carried around. There are Agents that hide hundreds of Black Keys under their robes.

It was scattered through the whole lobby. This is also apparently omniscient narration here that indicates that it was smashed. And, as you said, the chief specifically was able to track the movements, barely.

This is also anime physics, and the rubble did have momentum as it was moving toward Hansa, and Hansa also leapt at it.

Bruh, you are fucking blind! There is no visible debris left over as he literally sliced them to dust as the narration states. You are going with people who can't see what he did over the narration itself!

Medieval german swordsmen writing books on how to sword disagree with you.

Mordhau, as Starsight brought up earlier, is literally using the sword not as a cutter but as a smasher. (Now they flip the sword around instead of using the flat side of a blade. IIRC that's more a defensive thing samurai did and i don't know of it being used offensively in any manner historically.)

Using swords for blunt force trauma is an unorthodox and inefficient use of them, but much like using a pistol as a club is unorthodox and inefficient. You absolutely can. (Hell if anything swords are relatively better than pistol whipping.)

I like how they bring up Mordhau when it's using a normal sized sword in an unorthodox fashion when Black Keys are explicitly not built for close ranged fights and aren't effective as swords...
:risigif

Remember that this is a FICTIONAL SERIES they are trying to compare to Real Life but ONLY for this feat and not for, I don't know, DEMON SLAYER as well?

So with the context that Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara is one of my favorite gaming characters- holding six swords in two hands is also ridiculous. It hurts like hell and provides no benefit whatsoever in terms of physics or biology.

Still happens- and works- because fiction is ridiculous.



That said- there is a third option:
He did indeed 'cut' the concrete using the edges of the swords- BUT- he equally broke the slab into pieces beyond what cutting alone offered.

This enables both arguments to be correct. He cut using swords but the terms shatter and smash still hold merit as only part of the result was by cutting.

"Fiction is Fiction but these people who didn't see what Hansa did says he smashed it so we should ignore it over the actual narrator stating he used swordsmanship to cut them to dust and the movements Hansa does show no debris anywhere but dust"

Like come the fuck on people!:heston

How the hell the topic changed to Hansa anyways.
Last I check it's Iori vs whoever that KnY samurai is and both Iori and Hansa has very different skill and fighting style

Because it's the go to for Spacebattles to downplay Fate if they can't do it in the usual fashion. They basically point out how stupid a feat is and how weak it is to downgrade another character doing a vastly superior feat through anti-scaling.

Thus, it fits how Fate as a series is inconsistent and thus Iori's feats should be truly compared to the "TRUE" and "consistent" part of Fate:

Fate Stay Night and Fate Zero, aka, the series they have downgraded to ludicrous levels.
 
@shiny Alkamus yapping as usual https://forums.spacebattles.com/thr...oriichi-tsugikuni-demon-slayer.1140442/page-3


Someone make a comment about some speed feat in Fate that Iori scales to. One of them is Hansa, but not everyone like it so they argue if Hansa's speed is legitimate.

I already talked about that and yeah, that's how they try and degrade feats over there... even though Iori actually has hilariously higher feats than anything Hansa scales to but they LOVE trying to use these types of deals as the MAX rather than actually scaling it.

No???
I'd agree with this for some writers, but that's not a universal rule.

Then who is it applied to for "certain writers" then? Because it seems like Spacebattles members have a really weird ass selection of what writers can be "taken at their word" and who can't. Besides, that's not how VS debates should ever work for numerous reasons.

Some writers actually do try to keep their power levels semi-consistent- For example, I'd say Nasu is one of these. Feat or statements can be interpreted in multiple ways generally, and it's easier to determine author's intent if you look at other feats and see how fast the author thinks a certain character is.

Whenever I hear people say stuff like this unironically in SB, I end up laughing not out loud but in my own head. So Nasu is one of those writers who keep their power levels semi-consistent... so what's the argument then?! Kinoku Nasu supervises anything that comes out from his series and allows writers to go nuts and he adds it in later in the shit he makes. Nasu is the primary writer of Fate/Extra(which started the "power creep"), parts of Main Story of Extella, not only entire parts of FGO's story but explicitly supervises the others and is the one who primarily chooses what's canon or not.
Secondly, Fates and Statements CANNOT be interpreted in multiple different ways, that doesn't even begin to make sense. The only way a feat or statement can be interpreted in that fashion is if the author explicitly tries to make their shit vague(Which wouldn't be counted outright as a feat or statement anyway) which is not the same as what is going on in that thread now in which we get simple ass proof on what the writer stated.

Like. Author's intent is a fairly important idea when it comes to these debates, I'd say. A collection of feats can make it easier to find that intent.

:forizzle

I'm not gonna say anything... I'm gonna let the ones who are smart understand how stupid this sounds on their own...

It's not a perfect model, but it is one way to debate

Yes, doubt what is literally told to you outright because characters who could barely see the feat believed he smashed them despite there being no evidence outside of explicitly looking for it...
VS. The narrator themselves stating it had nothing to do with power but speed and skill and Black Keys aren't made with power in mind from F/SN which stayed true for later series = Hansa diced them up...

Yeah, that makes sense...

Okay, these kinds of remarks are almost always wrong, and will only weaken your position.

It's always funny seeing this be typed up when it's extremely obvious that yes, they ARE playing favorites with Demon Slayer while bitching about Fate to an unrealistic degree every time...
This is even talked about amongst those that don't do this multiple times for other series(You can literally point to a Naruto vs. debate and see how many people basically state that Naruto is barely Mach even well into Part 2 because Sound Jutsu exists) but nah, it weakens your position to point out the blatant hypocrisy.

I called imaginary out but it seems people are misunderstanding the "you" here

No, thats just what you like to do for the sake of unnecessary skepticism. Which you don't apply to other series but very loving to do in Fate. Hence it creates too many useless distraction and repetitive argument.

The guy would need to be fast enough to cut/punch/destroy the rubble for the feat to works to begin with. This Hansa is also a guy that can catch bullet at close range. This entire argument really does not matter.

Also I have a feeling I'll reported. Which is worth it, more people need to call out those who overcriticize one side and not the other. Like you said they are unfair with who can be taken at their word and can't.

Oh you saw my comment that Blaze replied to? :diolaugh

That's how it is with the Spacebattles hivemind: People get mad FOR others even if it isn't addressed to them. Snowflake mentality(The ironic part is that Imaginary keeps bringing it on himself for doing this in multiple topics not even just about Fate).

I've seen people get banned for less because their mods are absolute chickenshits... like you can be polite as possible but if the mods don't like you, they will ban you for anything and purposefully brag about it.

I did:

Which you can see from this very thread he didn't do the same to Demon Slayer. He only applies it to Fate. Whether people consider it weaken a position or not does not matter, it is what it is. Though if it happens regarding mainstream comic book char, then that is just another unecessary distraction.

As a matter of fact, the crux of this discussion does not matter. It's just people not wanting to accept context and being skeptical for something for the sake of persistent incredulity.

And you are honestly right about that. Demon Slayer is in the exact same position that they could say all of these feats about Fate for in particular(Especially with how much they wank Nichirin Blades despite we get multiple times that they will break and chip hitting the wrong thing or getting bashed by a rock) and remember, Yoriichi's entire EXISTENCE outside of feats told to us by the series is never truly properly shown and neither is Muzan's true speed or power ever shown either... but we should take them at their absolute word despite NOTHING to the contrary making that possible.

It's literally an argument against the easily proven(Iori) vs. the unprovable(Yoriichi) and it's 500% irony that you have the typical defenders not understand that this is the reason why Spacebattles is seen as a joke even to VSB and Reddit.

Remember cutting 10,000 fish is better feat in comparison to a guy who catch multiple assault rifle shot at close range, fr fr.

Honestly, I think SB tries too hard regarding Fate's continuity(as well as Comic book it seems), while Edison gives us good advice regarding it
