    A quote from Kutkha's profile...

    Quote:
     
    Physical energy Pulse Blasts can miss if the opponent is quick enough.


    I guess it depends on how fast the Pulse Blast actually is, though remember, Jira can evade attacks at 85 KPH [though it's not beyond reason that she could push herself, manage to add a couple of KPH to her evasion... it'd involve exceeding the physical limits of her muscles, which would tear them, causing her quite a bit of pain, though ultimately the muscles would heal quickly]

    And if she does only manage to minimize the damage from the impact, her body is both tough enough, and her regeneration strong enough, to shrug the attack off, especially if it's based on elemental energy... I've got no clue how her body would react to ethereal energy, though.
    “Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy.They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them.”

    As I said though, psionic and ethereal blasts are NOT physical. ;)

    3. Pulse Blast - Кутх's deadliest attack. He charges a ball of energy for a few seconds. The type of energy used varies between heat, cold, wind, psionic, and ethereal. Heat, cold, and wind are physical energies, while psionic and ethereal are abstract energies. Psionic and ethereal pulse blasts generally cannot be avoided, and follow their target. Upon impact, a Pulse Blast does considerable damage, and can even incapacitate foes larger than Кутх. Only useable in Humanoid form.


    The only way to deflect a psionic Pulse Blast is to have a psionic shield up. So a kaiju like Zembare could defend itself from this form of the blast. Ethereal is trickier, since it deals with pure life energy. A kaiju must be able to hide their life signature completely in order for this type of blast to be ineffective. Oroborus, who participated in FFKT VI, can defend himself from such an attack.

    Of course, the best way to defend against the two abstract Pulse Blasts is to be a full Mecha. :excited:

    But his weaknesses did say that a kaiju that was fast enough could evade the Pulse Blasts, though I still don't know how fast the Pulse Blasts actually are.

    Also, what you said about the Ethereal energy being like pure life energy... Armagedies can absorb life energy, so what's to stop him from just catching the pulse blast and absorbing it?

    I stressed that the physical energy blasts can be avoided. (Wind/fire/water). For speed, it's about as fast as sound in air. So pretty fast, but nothing like Flash Beam, which is instant.

    He can't unconsciously do it though. (That's my understanding at least.) That attack used to be overpowered (as you well know), but was reworked. It's still an offensive ability, so the way it works can't very well be passive. King Kaiju would need to weigh in on that though. It is a possibility, but I doubt it.

    I was thinking about the Spirit Siphon, the offensive ability Armagedies has. He's supposed to be able to suck the life force from anyone he grabs physically.

    Although the Grim Field could also work, in that it seems to kill anything that comes into range; Spirit Siphon drains life force and uses it to heal/power up Armagedies, while the Grim Field just kills stuff, either way, it'd affect anything derived from life force energy I imagine.

    Even if Armagedies can absorb the ethereal blast via Spirit Siphon or decay it with Grim Field, Кутх has 4 other very viable forms of the blast to use.

    And I may have worded the argument regarding Jira a little wrong. Specifically the "hope she survives" part. Pulse Blast, while described as Кутх's deadliest attack, is far from a one-hit K.O. It's more of a huge knockback while simultaneously being punched hard in the face (or wherever on the body it hits).

    But as I stress, Кутх won't rely on Pulse Blast as his be-all end-all attack. He likes to keep his opponents on edge. So I see him working very closely with Terra Battra and using combinations of Shadow Clones, heavy telekinesis, Raven form, and Razing Elements.

    AND as a bonus, he can create an earthquake to create a tunnel system for Battra so Battra doesn't have to! That way he can be a bit sneakier in larval form.

    I think that right now, Kutkha and Terra Battra have the advantage in that they'll both use evasive/hit and run tactics, allowing them to inflict considerable damage while avoiding unneccesary harm themselves!

    On the flip side, Jira and Armagedies are better close-range fighters, Jira because of her agility and the potential for using her Bio-Thermo Thrust, and Armagedies because of his size and the adverse effects of coming into close proximity to him. I think the best that Team 6 can do is to go on the defensive, try to anticipate and evade Team 7's attacks, and inflict as much damage as possible in the small window they'll have before their opponents fall back, then use their regeneration [Jira heals on her own, and Armagedies could absorb life energy from his opponents, if he can get a hold of them, which is probably easier said than done!] to recover before the next assult.

    Which would ultimately result in a very long winded battle... not to mention one very flattened alien city! :darklord:

    I voted for Terra Battra and Kutkha. Even though I like Jira and Armagedies, I feel that Terra Battra and Kutkha have the advantage with teamwork and the fact that neither of them have anything like Armagedies's Grim Field, so they don't have to worry about accidentally hurting each other during their hit and run tactics.

    Only Jira's natural regeneration would keep her in such a long brawl for so long, so I see Armagedies going down first since he can only heal himself if he successfully grabs either Terra Battra or Kutkha.

    This is one of the best fights of this round!

    That it is! I'm voting for Jira and Armagedies... she's my kaiju, after all, and I still believe that they could pull off a victory, if they're lucky!
