[Trubo]

Rin shirou and even Heracles all thought saber was winning though. And archer was not supporting saber at that point.

I'm looking through that scene and all I'm getting is that Herk can't hit Saber in the graveyard, but she possibly can. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that Saber is going to win the fight given what we know of God Hand. If this is an error on MM's part or a misunderstanding on mine (i.e. similar to the commentary at the end of the Gil/Shirou fight at the end of UBW), then please correct me.

Spoiler:

Their battle is continuing without change.
Berserker's attacks smash through empty space and only destroy his surroundings.

Between the attacks…
Within the swirling whirlwind and flying clods…
Within the rain of broken gravestones…
Saber rushes in without even dirtying her armor and attacks Berserker.

"……"
It is a divine work of utmost excellence.
My fear has disappeared, seeing this battle that is totally impossible for mere humans.
Instead, I am fascinated.

I could not believe I was in this Holy Grail War thing, and I also had some uneasiness.
But all of it is blown away when I see her.

Dancing swords.
Within the whirlwind of fatal destruction, the knight challenges the enemy without hesitation.

…Maybe this scene made me accept everything.
No matter what may fall upon us in the future…
I'm convinced that I will be able to match even a fierce god if I have Saber with me.

"…I thought so. It was strange, but she blocked Berserker's sword on purpose."
Tohsaka murmurs without emotion.

"…Was that to lure Berserker here?"

"Yup. It's suicidal to fight Berserker in a place without cover. That's why Saber chose this place as the battleground.
She did it naturally, too. She got Berserker away from you, all the while she pretended to be cornered."

""
…Then…
Saber must have determined that this place was a suitable battlefield when we were walking down the hill.

"But you can't expect backup in a battle like this.
Our enemy is a monster that even nullifies Archer's arrows.
Backup was meaningless from the start."
Tohsaka murmurs as
she watches the battle between Saber and Berserker.

"…Archer's arrows…"
But those words catch my attention.
Archer isn't here.
If he really is an archer, he should not fight hand-to-hand, but

"She got him!"
Tohsaka snaps her fingers.
Just as she said… Saber's sword must have hit Berserker, or he must have lost his footing.
Berserker's body, holding firm until now, loses its balance.

""
The beast lashes out desperately.

Saber dodges it by jumping back, and holds her sword with both hands.

This is it. As his desperate attack is dodged, Berserker loses his balance even more, and Saber bends her knees to charge in with all her power.

If she hadn't been interrupted by Archer at the end there, was she going to behead/kill Herk?

[LJ3]

Ah, that's it

she was definitely going for the kill, but how would that work with what she was currently using with GH being what it is

[castor212]

Herk's Pankration.

really dont like this part btw
instinctive evasive maneuver with Mind's Eye is one thing, a Zerker doing literal acrobatic maneuver is another

[Hakuno]

Not listed sub-passive skill EAM (?)

[Roxas]

Ah, that's it

she was definitely going for the kill, but how would that work with what she was currently using with GH being what it is

probably because she didn't know about GH at this point,

[castor212]

Was there ever any character mentioning the HGW duration in Apo or FsF? Didnt remember anyone ever saying it but probably just me and spotty memory

[Iceblade44]

I believe there was stuff in Apo mats or something that was talking about Chiron's NP and it mentioned that the normal length for HGW was 2 weeks.

[castor212]

Oh yeah there was

I was wondering about it since would different leylines plus double the servant change the usual duration drastixally or would it just minmax it

[Pretzelz]

How likely do you think it is that Shiki and Arcueid could actually have a kid of their own and why? (as in, their own 'Mana Tohno)

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Pretty unlikely given that Arc is sleeping in a faraway place and Shiki is doomed to die shortly

[Tobias]

Shirou did, he still thought it was going to work, as did heracles himself.

im not sure what your first question was, but as for the last question the most obvious answer I suppose, would be one of those golden sword slashes. That would easily be enough to knock at least a couple lives off.

[forumghost]

Ehh... If a cat is fine then a comatose chick definitely is.

[Altaris]

Wasn't that because of his Vijaya, Shiva's bow?

No it's because he's strong as fuck. Krishna commented on it

He didn't even use Vijaya on that day against Arjuna, he used it the day before and dominated the battlefield

[LJ3]

I'm not seeing anything that says Herk agrees beyond getting off balance

[Arha]

Kagetsu Tohya

Ok, so it seems like I'm about to face off against Kouma soon for the last time, but I still haven't unlocked the "Eh, another dream...?" options. What should I do?

Could anyone help me out with this please? I tried looking at a guide and picked the same options to see if I could get them, but no luck so far.

I think the dreams disappear after Nanaya has that bridge dropped on him. You can't go back to scenes like that, you can only delete your current save and start over.

Because of their physical strength or special super weapons/astras?

Both, I think. I vaguely remember some super bullshit from Rama with no astras or anything, just him being Rama.

How likely do you think it is that Shiki and Arcueid could actually have a kid of their own and why? (as in, their own 'Mana Tohno)

Physically possible. There's been a child born between a True Ancestor and a human before. I personally assume it's Altrouge, but that's fanwank on my part. I don't know if it really fits into the themes of Tsukihime, though, which is probably more important.

[Tobias]

The only time Heracles ever moves to defend himself or becomes concerned about an attack is when his eye of the mind tips him off that the godhand is about to be breached. Otherwise he ignores incoming strikes. The scene goes way out of its way to note Heracles was in a desperate position and attempting (without success) to ward off saber's follow up. Even he knew he was in serious trouble.

[Tepanyakigo]

It's amazing here how we have people wanking Archer, people wanking Saber, people wanking Herc, and people wanking Sakura...


They are equally annoying

[Tobias]

FWIW I actually know how he feels a bit. It's frustrating when you have to reorient your thoughts because enough evidence comes up to prove you wrong even when you feel like you aren't.

i have been salty about the sword rain thing since episode 17 or whenever that was.

i mean I acknowledge the point and all, but it still seems absurd.

[Hakuno]

people wanking Herc

Yeah because this sure happens very often

Annihilate your own thoughts and become a blank vessel for the word of Nasu

Has to be an A rank handjob to take effect, very rare.
