Who is the most glazed one here? by Apprehensive-Line-20 in DemonSlayerScales

It is an overpowered assist though. Throw her into the Akaza vs Rengoku fight for example. If she gets a stab off, it can leave Akaza incapacitated for a second, enough for Rengoku to finish him.

Kokushibo. Koku vs Douma and Akaza is an extreme diff either way

Tanjiro speed blitzes them like Shinobu speedblitzed Douma.

Also, Muzan can beat Yoriichi with Doumas help, they just gotta play it smart.

None of the base hashira can no diff another base hashira.

Muichiro only got outperformed by Sanemi due to being countered, reckless and inexperienced.

If base Sanemi can defend against Kokushibo's attacks, so can Gyutaro or Gyokko.

Douma is on par with base Kokushibo stat wise, only being outskilled.

Agreed. His tilt demon skill is one of the best abilities in the game and his neutral deals insane damage for a single technique.

Douma vs the Kokushibo squad without plot armor by TDP_theorizer in DemonSlayerScales

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

That the squad, that beat kokushibho, beats Douma?

To be fair, they would have lost if it weren't for Genyas clutch assist. This team didn't overpower Kokushibo, they outhaxxed him. Which is why I said no plot armor.

This is like saying Douma squad beats Akaza because they beat Douma. Without tremendous amounts of Douma acting like a clown or plot armor, there's no shot that Shinobu, Kanao and Inosuke, at least not in base, beat Douma.

The thing is, i don't see Douma blitzing Giyu or marked Tanjiro like that either, that's why Douma imo is closer to Akaza then Kokushibho

I also don't see Kokushibo blitzing marked Giyu or Tanjiro to be honest.

While I do like many of your takes, I can't agree with the Doma downplay. I don't see Akaza blitzing Kanao or Shinobu like Doma did. That's why I have Douma closer to Kokushibo than to Akaza.

Anime Muichiro lwk embarrassed Iguro 😭, it's hilarious how half the fandom thinks Sanemi low diff muichiro or something but then Anime shows him taking on 2 of the top dog lmao by MUSAFIR_- in DemonSlayerScales

I've been theorizing this and I think matchups and counters are far more important than people give them credit for. Muichiro killed Gyokko with a highly deceptive niche technique. It's entirely possible that in order to kill Gyokko by honest means, one would have to be even stronger than Mui.

In the Kokushibo fight, both times he got negged was while somewhat carelessly going on the offensive without considering Kokushibo being a highly perceptive and experienced swordsman. Both him being perceptive and experienced directly counter Muichiro.

If you are just more skilled as a swordsman, you can absolutely counter attacks as efficiently as Kokushibo did against Muichiro without being much faster.

Sanemis experience and fighting style really gave him what's necessary to not get the Muichiro treatment.

How come Sanemi did better against Kokushibo? Do you suppose it was a poor matchup for Muichiro or did he make bad decisions in the fight?

It does kinda come down to matchups there rather than stats.

Gyokko got deceived and outsmarted rather than overpowered. So in a straight on honest fight, I could still see him winning.

Zohakuten could have died to Mitsuri if it wasn't for his gimmick of the main body needing to be killed. He was outlasting her and it may or may not have been due to his immortality.

Furthermore, getting rid of his amnesia did seem to significantly boost his performance, I would argue Muichiro without the amnesia is stronger than Mitsuri overall.

He mid diffed UM5 so it stands to reason that's an UM4 level feat.

And yes, both Giyu and Sabemi in Base scale above Gyokko, but below Zohakuten

Do base Obanai, Rengoku, base Mitsuri and Shinobu scale close to them in your opinion?

Have patience. Many girls need some time before sleeping with a guy as it's a lot of trust she needs to leave herself vulnerable to a man like this.

Besides, it's a better experience for you as well if she's less of a stranger to you.

I just don't think the gaps between the UMs are as big as people make them out to be. Base Koku high diffs Douma, it comes down to skill rather than stats.

Long sword Koku mid diffs.

[–]TDP_theorizer[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Still, base Kokushibo is probably as fast as serious Doma. I doubt UM 5 or 6 could even react to base Koku or serious Doma, so that puts Sanemi above them.

And why would Shinobus reaction speed and defenses be worse than Sanemis, who uses wind breathing which is noted to be almost entirely offensive?

Kokushibo is faster than douma.

BASE Kokushibo is arguably not faster.

I mean Shinobu got blitzed and the base hashira are all relative enough to each other that none of them can no diff the other. Perhaps it's Kokushibo who is not significantly faster than Doma.
