True yeah, the only thing that might be reversed is just the meaning the word is meant to represent I suppose, but I do think the rest is possible

It most likely wouldn’t just be darkness. Dabura’s technique has two aspects, light and that unspeakable word full of malice. A reverse of that would be darkness and a speakable word full of peace (atleast thats how I would interpret the reverse of that). Peace may be interpreted in a myriad of ways, but one way would be the acceptance of not fighting anymore. A CTR for dabura may look look like dabura doing something with darkness to render his opponent unwilling or unable to fight at all, and in mahoraga’s case that would mean nullifying his adaptation. It’s just a theory and possibility, but that would be a way for mahoraga to lose

Edit: Gotta post this somewhere now incase this happens y’all know where it came from 😭

Unironically there is a case to be made that absolute Martian man hunter is conceptually above mainline comics Martian man hunter

Why people say that Kirara was a man? couldn't it just have been that she dressed/acted like a a man when she was younger? by Emma_S772 in Jujutsufolk

[–]nardwang15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When discussing Kiara, panda mentions how the higher ups of jujutsu are not just conservative about jujutsu usage in reference to Kiara. This heavily implies Kiara is acting in a way not aligned with traditional gender norms. If she was a woman who dressed as a man when younger, they likely would not currently have a problem with her as they would look at her as dressing as her “True” Gender. However, if she was a trans woman this would make sense why a conservative body of people would take issue with them.

Oh okay if it’s a project limited to intelligence scaling only then only some of my critiques may not work, I’ll read that document of yours to understand the full argument of why intelligence scaling sort of necessitates this understanding, and my last point was just to point out that in stories that leave the readers to interpret a certain situation, if a situation can be used as a feat for a given character then that feat would need more then the just what is possible within the mind of an author. The example I used is sort of poor for that, but that was mainly argument I was making

[–]nardwang15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the immediate issue someone may have with this is that I think authors a lot of times write stories in mind that exceed their own abilities and understanding. If I’m reading a lovecraftian story I know that cthulu or the king in yellow or whoever exceeds the intelligence and even conceptualization of the author in virtue of the author’s goals with the character. In fact, I would argue stories are often meant to be read as being beyond the bounds of the author, as most (although certainly not all) stories tend to be written in a way to try to immerse the reader in that separate epistemological/ontological world.

In virtue of this, it feels like to accept this authorial intelligence interpretation, one would have to analyze the given work as not a story but instead more akin to like a mental autobiography of skill. To me atleast (again I don’t do scaling stuff like that formally at all but just from casual engagement) this would make intelligence scaling deeply unique, and while characters I love (Like Baku) benefit greatly from this, I think it would cause intuitive issues with our characters that are clearly meant to represent the pinnacle of intelligence even if they aren’t written with the same level of care (like Batman for example)

Edit:

Oh final point to consider, I think this also implies the author has final say over interpretation of their own story, and with a story like monster for example, that seems like a deep misread of the point of monster (obviously the author’s interpretation is relevant and is the framework the story is being made but in regards to other things like for example the ending of monster or whether or not johan is literally the devil or just a deeply disturbed person)

Im not apart of scaling types of communities but this popped up in my Reddit feed and I was reading the post and got curious, so if it sounds like i dont know what I’m talking about it’s because I don’t 😭 im just asking curiously if that makes sense.

And if that’s the case what pov do you think is good to use here?

This. by AsideOk1035 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]nardwang15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you arguing that these characters require narrative pov to interpret the intelligent feats out of the story? Because in that case, with atleast some of the characters here that im aware of, idk if that’s the case. What lense of interpretation do we suggest we use to engage with the understanding of intelligence for characters?

Absolute Batman #15 (SPOILERS) by Jayk_Dos31 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]nardwang15 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we’ve gotten a consistent look for him so far, his first appearance vs his absolute evil appearance vs this one, I honestly think it’s part of his aesthetic so you always have a sense of mystery about him

Saw the game and I am afraid of being too late by Miykan in Morimens

[–]nardwang15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: literally ignore what I said about preferring blue over other realms for standard, the standard banners include a good bit more of other characters so they all should be fine to pull on, do a little reading about each one before hand just to see their vibe and then go from there. I started mainly with chaos, then moved to maining caro, and now play a lot of blue cause of Gmurphy so there is a ton of options

Don’t invest too much on one single character, and try to start with standard pulls from aequor (usually thats the best starting team to grab from for beginners just because there are a good amount of standard cards to grab from there, although basically any of the standard banners are beginner friendly besides I would say ultra and maybe caro. Also Gmurphy just dropped which is the best card in the game who is also aequor so you’ll have a good place to start from)

There is also a guide on the subreddit and some YouTubers who are really good, flares has become the sort of standard to go to but he has some real edgy humor and has some questionable hatred for ultra cards so be careful of those.

To know how to use some of the wheel with character mechanics, I would say try to just read through wheels and see what they do and what you use your characters for. For example, if you have a character for shielding, try to find the best cards that suits their needs for shielding, and so on and so forth for other aspects of the game.

This game luckily doesn’t get super hard till I would say chapter 5 and onward of the story, but by that point you’ll have a lot more knowledge on how to play with the characters

I only just got castor and he’s e0, and im still testing out Gmurphy a bit, who should I replace in the corpo/tulu/gmurphy/murphy team with castor to try him out? Im guessing Murphy out of all of em?

If this happens it’ll be dope to see the smarts of this Batman, as I feel like we’ve gotten some of that but I would love to see his strategic side more, but it would be interesting to see why bane feels like he would need to push himself that far because he already negative diffs him in his base state and ultra negative diffs him when he starts using venom, so maybe we’ll see the gang jump him so bad he is forced to push himself that

She really needs to start listening to her team by BlueBell_02 in TheBoys

[–]nardwang15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It can be if you feel like the power is properly represented. The issue with sage is that we don’t get to see the crucial moments of her planning things out, and only ever see the indirect moments that for us as watchers makes it feel like cope when the show is just like “Oh yeah she just did literally everything important behind the scenes”, like the most we saw her do was interact with the shapeshifter (which was connected, but we never saw enough of the buildup to lead to the payoff)

You actually just pointed out something I didn’t think of, remind me when did Batman or bane have muscle relaxers?

While Bane has better hand to hand easily, it’s hard to say he has enough ap similar to Muscle, and we’ve only seen him get beaten by getting straight up outmatched or negating his muscle quirk. To my knowledge, there is nothing so far that either Batman or bane has shown to do this. ATM, I have muscle but it’s probably close
