Amera vs Elick

Amera R1

Roy vs Zero

* Amera concedes

Bradley vs Meta

* Meta is speed equalized, Bradley is very fast

* Bradley has good piercing and regen

Maki vs Jack

* Maki has fast reflexes

* Maki blitzes her father who scales to herself before an amp (evidence for scaling not given)

* Maki has strong piercing and Jack has weak piercing resist

* Toji scaling

Overall, a weak first response. I don't think Roy vs Zero is an instant loss matchup so the drop was really unnecessary. If you're going to concede a matchup right away, you should make sure the other 2 are guaranteed wins then or else you just screwed yourself over. Unfortunately, the other two matchups were practically just reposts of the character's respect threads without establishing their win conditions or behavior other than "blitz." Amera claims he doesn't need an intro or a statposts, but considering how the whole response is just a statpost, an intro statpost would've been preferable to make room for an actual argument. Amera doesn't acknowledge the opposing picks really other than Jack's piercing resistance and just argues his characters in a vacuum

Elick R1

Roy vs Zero

* Zero mogs

Bradley vs Meta

* Bradley isn't durable enough to survive a hit from Meta and his regen doesn't make up for it

* Meta's time stop guarantees one free hit, which is all he needs

* Meta is capable of keeping up with faster opponents

Maki vs Jack

* Maki's speed feats are vague or bad

* Jack's speed feats are clearly better.

* Jack has strong piercing and Maki has weak piercing resist

A strong opener from Elick. He succinctly lays out his character's stats in his intro and the continues to argue their ways of winning in the actual response while pointing out how the opposing picks aren't as good. He lays out different ways his character can win and the possible scenarios (Bradley can't regen -> Meta wins, Bradley can regen -> takes too long, Meta wins through incap). However the Maki vs Jack portion wasn't as strong as the previous one in comparison and is mostly a stat comparison.

Amera R2

Bradley vs Meta

* Bradley's speed goes uncontested

* Meta can't endure being cut to pieces

Maki vs Jack

* Provides context to Maki being faster than her dad who was faster than her from before

* Maki is faster than Jack and is strong enough to one shot him

A very short response, which isn't necessarily a bad, but considering a matchup was conceded, you should probably go more in-depth of the remaining matchups to make up for it. The lack of formatting makes this hard to read even though it's relatively sparse content wise as it's just reiterating past claims.

Elick R2

Bradley vs Meta

* Meta is good at fighting through being stabbed and slashed

* Meta will be actively fighting back and avoiding attacks, he won't be standing there taking Bradley's slashes

* Bradley's durability goes unargued

* Time stop goes uncontested

Maki vs Jack

* Jack is physically very durable and has great piercing resist

* Maki's piercing resist goes unargued

* Jack's speed feats are better than Maki's

A solid rebuttal from Elick. He brings up the point that Meta obviously won't just stand there, taking hits and would actively fight back, while also showing that he's actually good at handling piercing attacks. Elick brings up two scenarios: they fight and Bradley gets one shot, or Meta time stops and one shots. The second part of rebuttals is strong as well as Elick provides direct comparison of Maki's damage output to Jack's durability whereas Maki lacks any resistance to his offense.

Amera R3

Bradley vs Meta

* Meta can't endure dismemberment

* Speed diff

Maki vs Jack

* More circular Maki scaling

* Jack's durability feats are blunt not piercing

* Toji scaling

Again, another short response. It reiterates prior points and has some counters against Elick's points.

***

Elick R3

Bradley vs Meta

* Bradley's speed feats aren't as good as presented

* Meta one punches

* Time stop lol

Maki vs Jack

* Circular scaling is fake, and no amp was proven

* Jack's durability feat is clearly piercing

* Toji scaling isn't really explained and confusing

* Jack's sword counters Maki's lol

I don't necessarily buy every point raised against Bradley's speed or even Maki's (from the previous response), but it's still a solid response. Elick brings up that the burden is on Amera to prove why the circular scaling matters as he didn't provide any evidence of Maki getting amped faster. He also brings up that Amera needs to explain why all the Jujutsu Kaisen mumbo jumbo is relevant otherwise it just seems meaningless.

Judgements

Roy vs Zero

Zero wins by forfeit. This wasn't an unwinnable matchup and I think Amera should've seen it through.

Bradley vs Meta

Meta wins. I think Elick makes a compelling argument that regardless of how the match plays out, it all ends with Meta winning. Meta's time stop is something that goes uncontested other than "Bradley blitzes it before it happens," but that requires Bradley to have the movement speed fast enough to close the gap before Meta activates it. Elick makes a strong case that Meta isn't going to be helplessly sitting there while Bradley advances and attacks, and that he has the endurance to fight through piercing. While, I agree that Bradley's slashing is really good and that Elick's arguments against Bradley's speed wasn't convincing (c'mon son he's clearly moving at a comparable speed to the bullets and reacting smh), I don't think he can secure a winning blow before Meta can. As Elick simply puts it multiple times, either they fight and Meta one shots, or Meta time stops and then one shots.

Maki vs Jack

Jack wins. Amera never counters Elick's claims on Maki's piercing resistance and also fails to provide context to why her scaling feats matter. However, I do think her actual given speed feats are obviously good. I don't buy the gatling gun feat being better than Maki's bullet catch, as we get an actual distance for her relation to the shooter and her relation to the bullet for the feat. The highlight of the feat isn't deflecting the bullets, but catching the last one, which shows very good hand movement and reflexes. But, this all isn't enough as Jack's speed is still solid and Amera doesn't try to counter that other than "Maki is faster." Even if there is a speed difference, it's all moot considering she can't hurt Jack but he can one shot her. Elick's given piercing resistance feat for Jack is obviously not blunt (they're blades and we see them cutting through his clothes) and Amera never contests Jack's strong piercing feats.

Elick wins 3-0.
