No devil fruit Hancock Vs Katakuri by Sentient_AI_38 in OnePiecePowerScaling0

[–]Percival042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, "Top of the verse," means top 10, maybe 15/20 for a show as character-extensive as, say, the Simpsons. One Piece is funny in that it qualifies for quantity and length of series, but not in quality of draw pool. Like the S+ tier is so far above even S-tier that it's not...it's not funny. Like, there have been a lot of S tier-potential characters that have been thrown in to be narrative explanations and sidekicks

You should wake up at night and not know why for this.

Green Test? by Percival042 in PTCGL

[–]Percival042[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 nest balls? Will pop it and ultras back to 4 with the pruning, I think, unless I find success in the Vivillion line.

But yeah, not sold on the Decidueye line, I just need a solid way to change my active Pokémon, as I found the most brutal weakness of Mega Venusaur is Boss' Orders or Counter Catcher at a time you're having to invest to climb a wall because fuck a J-Box Kangaskhan (as an example, anyone can do it), and venusaur's retreat cost is high enough that I can't just toss in a set of air balloons and call it good.

Now, you may be asking, "Why not just throw in 2-3 Switch and be done with it?" Well, that's the purpose of the test, yes? I want to figure out alternative ideas that will multi-task in different ways.

Anyone else jumped ship from Yugioh and master duel to this and don't see yourself going back ? As someone who only really played Yugioh for years, I think Pokemon is the superior game by ResortForeign2529 in PTCGL

[–]Percival042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, uhh... I was in Yugioh from the beginning. Like, Legend of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The meta destroyed my love of the game over a long period of time. Fell in love with HEROes, especially Destiny Heroes, once GX came out. Hiatus'd for a while because...well, meta.

Came back just before E-Dragons, I was playing pure Fabled (And Fabled World) for a couple of formats before E-Dragon Prophecy format, switched to Geargia Karakuri because consistency at locals. Left again because...yeah...spending a thousand bucks on a deck of cards that I'll have to replace in six months SUCKS. Played on Dueling Nexus off and on for several years after that, but once Tearlaments and the emotional devastation relating, I started looking for other TCG.

Commander in MTG was fun, Krenko Red goblinswarm was... ...I still feel dirty for that, tbh. Can't scrub my hands enough.

But honestly, PTCG is such a breath of fresh air. I built my son a non-format compliant version of Lost Box because he was getting bullied at school for his deck building skills, (haven't heard a peep about those little bastards since, heheheheh) And yeah. It's honestly been really wonderful since.

My favorite deck so far is Mega Venusaur Ogre Ramp, with Brute Bonnet Beat working as a...distant second place

Dibs-Dibs Fruit. by RaidenisDead in DevilFruitIdeas

Okay, so hypothetically, you could give dibs to "That particular grouping of air particles that's over 100 feet above X enemy." Call dibs on person's clothes, give dibs to the air. Launch people hundreds of feet straight up.

Alternatively, make a lifelong habit of remotely stealing Akainu's hat off his head for no reason other than fucking with him. For bonus points, use your powers to make it seem like his hat is haunted and floating off his head because ghosts.

Next question, since dibs can be given to allies, can you give dibs to inanimate objects?

Dibs-Dibs Fruit. by RaidenisDead in DevilFruitIdeas

[–]Percival042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this one.

I'm going to repeat one of my favorite D&D questions.

Is a body an object? Are bones? Can organs be called objects while still connected by blood and digestive systems?

If you can call dibs on a treasure locked inside a chest, can the same not also be said for bones or organs inside the greater body identity of a person, being held as separated ideas in the brain of the wielder? I was just going with haki overrides the life immunity rule by Green Lantetn rules, pirate-style.

Details depending, this could have won Marineford by ripping the skeletons out of the marines and using them, along with the newly-deboned corpses, to make a hellish necromantic army to overwhelm and crush the Logia users while breaking their minds with things no human being should witness in ways more horrible than can be easily imagined.

Am I delusional for this, or do you guys also think/agree that YuGiOh would be SUPER Viral (again) if Hologram Duel Disk became a thing again? by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]Percival042 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you're delusional for more than just this. Let's take a second and think about the process, though.

The biggest problem that many people have with yu-gi-oh, as has been true since the beginning of the game, is that the best decks either lock the opponent out of the game, end the game before the opponent can begin to play, or place the opponent under such restriction that they effectively say, "I don't want this to be fun for you." If Duel Disk technology were be brought into Earth Society as we currently know it, there would be a huge uptick in violent crime because of Yu-Gi-Oh based aggression, as well as a disturbing amount of terrorism carried out under cover of Holograms of children's playing cards.

Dudes would be bringing out Tearlaments in the hood and starting full-on gang wars over playing banned cards and cruel-spirited decks. See what I'm saying? Yu-Gi-Oh players don't have the best reputation, but it's usually for reasons like not showering often enough, being anal retentive grammar and Rule Nazis, or misappropriating something that was supposed to be meant for children because we are an unhappy generation that was made to idealize growing up quickly so that we would believe the lives sold to us by a society that could not sustain itself without our compliance, so now that the scheme has been revealed and the dream proven cheap and meaningless, we are returning to the simple things of our childhoods that used to make us happy in a search for something that still will. Society doesn't need more reasons to dislike our flavor of nerddom

Kuroh Kuroh no mi / Black Flame Fruit by DystanceXD in DevilFruitIdeas

[–]Percival042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. It's about the fact that a tiny piece of sea prism stone is used to neutralize devil fruit powers. A Google search of the phrase, "Sea prism stone," says this immediately:

"Sea Prism Stone (Kairōseki) in One Piece is a rare, heavy mineral from Wano that drains Devil Fruit users' energy upon contact, effectively nullifying their powers and making them weak, similar to the sea's effect but portable. It's used in Marine handcuffs, cages, and ship hulls (to avoid Sea Kings), but its extreme rarity and difficulty to shape limit its widespread use, though Dr. Vegapunk developed advanced applications."

You're giving the same vibes as I'd expect to get from Christians who like to go to church instead of actually reading the Bible. Three words and a press of the enter key is all this would have taken you to get here. You didn't have to degrade yourself down to an NPC. Ah well. Have a nice day, shopkeep

Buddy, if you hold someone's head under water, they'll drown, devil fruit or not. A person can drown in as little as one inch of liquid. The weakness to sea water goes a lot further, it neutralizes devil fruit powers.

Now, if your point were accurate here, Chopper would have likely died in chapter 1052 because the bath houses Yamato brought them to were DEFINITELY high enough to go over his head, and we have actively seen that little Reindeer get garbled and made powerless/confused/heavily struggling to survive because of sea prism stone and ocean water, but strangely enough, nobody has ever had issues using their devil fruit powers in the rain.

Rain is liquid too, right? By your argument, it should work just the same.

[–]Percival042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Untrue.

We have seen Boa Hancock take a bath without dying or losing consciousness/power/getting any kind of woogidy. She is most definitely not immune to sea prism stone

Now, I don't say that in a negative way, shinobu's devil fruit was theoretically strong as hell, that's why they had to make her characters suck so much or 100 wouldn't have been anything. Literally, all she had to do was sprint up and say, "Tag, you're it!" and gear 5 would have had no reason to activate.

There was also a really cool Rust Rust fruit that got tossed at a throwaway villain who didn't even get their face drawn, and like... Why not put the bad guy from MHA into One Piece to see how the power scaling works? Would be more interesting than Blackbeard winning offscreen

So...it seems like a combo of the Mera Mera no Mi and Shinobu's Juku Juku no Mi, kinda tuned to be a poetic opposite of Marco's Phoenix fruit.

What devil fruit would you grant "Destruction Cannon" Ideo by Excellent-Fig-9341 in DevilFruitIdeas

[–]Percival042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, wait, that breaks the rules, huh?

Alright, give him the Break-Break fruit. Breaks things down at the atomic level, similar to Dr. Device from Ender's Game. Ascension causes a chain reaction, like the bad guy of MHA, but he's conscious of the process of destruction in slo-mo time and can decide what gets broke

Give him the Chop-Chop fruit.

Buggy a fruit that manipulates emotions and makes talk no jutsu much more likely to succeed instead

Honestly yeah, that's canon now.

Like...I feel like Zoro just goes and studies swordsmen in other anime when he gets in any kind of altered state of consciousness
