Raiders of the Lost Ark – Conception Transcribed
Raiders of the Lost Ark - This is an amazing read on the thought process between George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Lawrence Kasdan as they talk through the concepts of this amazing film. It's practically peering into the thought process of some of the most influential film makers of our day. And amazingly, shows how creative Lucas was.

Not familiar enough with individual characters of BlazBlue to make a decision for Round 1.
Leaning towards them for Round 2 if only because the Black Beast has massive destructive potential.
–
May need durability feats for it though, if it has nothing good Acnologia could just speed hit and run till it dies.
–
Take-Mikazuchi would be useful for precision strikes, though Etherion has more power.
I can just imagine Azrael and Laxus causing a shit ton of destruction in there battle. Here’s his Astral Finish in which he disengages his limiter
Also BlazBlue has Izanami who is literally death itself in the BlazBlue universe so the best thing for Fairy Tail is to somehow seal her away possibly

Here’s a page relating to the Black Beast
blazblue.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Beast
This thing can withstand a bunch a nuclear bombs as when it first appeared nations worldwide fired at it with their nukes. Didn’t even phase it one bit. I’ll try to find more about that
Also I know Nukes may not be totally useful but just take a freakin look at this
forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=952759&d=1398486505
Who need these many nuclear warheads?
And then there’s the Six Heroes
blazblue.wikia.com/wiki/Six_Heroes
I just remembered that Rachel Alucard can always use the Tsukuyomi Unit to protect others from attacks by Etherion and other powerful attacks

Septuple posting is generally a bad idea. I advise condensing things into fewer posts in the future.
(Looks closely at picture)…Ah yeah, now I remember why “Blazblue” sounded familiar. 😛
–
Which of course, makes me remember that some kind of lightning speed feat(don’t remember much detail) was given for Hazama in his fight with Rand… Before all of his debaters got scared off of course.
–
Unless I’m misremembering, that would seem to give him an edge in speed over FT.
@soulerous
I posted a lot because I’m in school and the wifi is shitty and there’s barely any cell reception so I thought it’d be smart to post a bunch of stuff and links while I’m occupied with schoolwork
Nonononono! I can’t decide which universe to side with! I like both!
I’d really like to be able to root for FT, but based on those posts up there, the second round may be lost. I’ll have to research BlazBlue for the first round, though.
I haven’t seen much of Fairy Tail- do they have any of the standard anime powersets?
For example
Trapping someone with their shadows, making an area subject to magical rules, sending people to other dimensions, mind-rape, killing someone with the sound of your voice etc?

Yep.
Wait, how powerful is FT anyway? Individual characters, I mean. How powerful are, for example, Saint-level Wizards?
@Epicazeroth

As powerful as plot demands. Recently two weak characters managed to hold their own against main villain of the current arc just fine.
They are as powerful as plot demands. It really doesn’t make any sense. This is also why fairy Tail losing popularity. Even I stopped reading this because of how stupid 404 chapter was.
But top tiers so far about island level in durability and power.
@Rookie
Honestly that explains a lot. I don’t read manga but I’m watching the anime. One episode Natsu fights and wins against a villain who’s more powerful than him and another episode he fights and gets his ass kicked by a character way weaker than said villain
@Private Khaos
–
Yes, this about right. Also about few last chapters. Villain can manipulate pain and cast it upon Erza. Ok. Next villain blocks all Erza senses, but she still can feel pain. Ok, why? With all her senses off (she is blind and so on) Erza get back and hit villian with 100% accuracy. Why? She even dodge attacks in that state and of course wins.
This is chapters 403 and 404.
How could author of Rave Master write such stupid plot?
Good thing that I found Magi manga.
“Recently two weak characters managed to hold their own against main villain of the current arc just fine.”
–
I wouldn’t say that, Mard was toying with them, countering all their attacks one-handed. He pretty much admitted that a few chapters ago. He hasn’t demonstrated anything against them that he did for the Celestial Spirit King.
–
“Why? She even dodge attacks in that state and of course wins.”
–
Why? “Because she’s Erza”, goddammit.
I was expecting her to be able to sense curse magics without any distractions but nope.
Also technically, Erza collapsed after she knocked Kyouka down, Minerva had to rush in and finish her.
–
Back on topic. Black Beast looks like it would need Etherion to be put down, or Acnologia spam attacking it from above.
The lowest calcs I’ve seen for his breath attack are 104MT due to pulverizing a crater in the ocean floor, pretty low calibre compared to bijuu and all that, but it’s a massive increase for FT.
The mid-high tiers have been calced at about Mach 6-7 pretty consistently too, with lower tiers at 2-4.
And Taurus intercepting shotgun pellets from a few metres away after it was fired, but no one likes Taurus, so moving on.
–
Until feats are provided Hazama is the only one with a speed advantage.
–
EDIT: That calc for Acnologia was done without taking into account that granite in the ocean floor has a higher density than normal.
@numinous
I’ll post the links when I get home but two cutscenes from Chrono Phantasma show good speed feats for both Azrael and Izayoi. Also one shows Jin having very good reaction timing with his battle with Izayoi
Here’s all the cutscenes from CP
They have some good feats in them at least I think they’re pretty good
So here’s the Fairy Tail wiki page for magic
–
fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Magic
@Rookie: To be fair, it is magic. Also, isn’t the “as powerful as necessary” thing built in in a way? Because isn’t “heart” a factor in how much of their power someone can access?
===
And not relevant to the combat (directly) but isn’t Warrod’s hobby reseeding deserts? Though he’s one of the Four Gods, so it’s not really fair. But still; if there was only some info about the other three.
–
Should Acnologia be way above island-level? Gild arts should be around there, and he said Acnologia was toying with him.
–
Lastly: off-topic, but is it just me or does one of the Gods of Ishval look kinda like Gildarts?
Etherion is a country buster. I’ll find the quotes later.
.
Aside from that, we’ve seen a (fairly weak) character control anything that isn’t human. That includes anything and everything as long as it isn’t human.

““heart””

Another word for plot. Read chapters 403 and 404 and you will understand what I mean.

I’m sure there’s a new feat in there though, how overloaded would your nerves need to be to feel a breeze as utter agony? Followed by getting your ass beat for awhile.
Not to mention the strain that would put on your heart.
Not to be spoilerific since this just came out, but Gildarts actually has new feats. Nothing too flash though.
Now has the common trope of disappearing from view speed feat.

Self explanatory, 13 punches in an instant. Someone could probably work out how fast each punch would need to be.
