okay so i was going to post an image an image bone daddy with "what about this looks subtle to you" but it appears that i cant post images

however!

THE POINT! still stands.

[Zork Knight]

He snuck into Ozy's temple complex and stealthily beheaded him

He also cleaved Ereshkigal's (problems) in two without anyone realizing he was there before

I do wonder why he didn't do the same to Quetz...

[the god of world-0]

Basically, Gramps is so good at his job, he barely even has to try.

why didnt kiritsugus master use a sniper rifle for kiritsugus origin bullets, was there a reason she used a Thompson contender, or was that just what she on her at the moment of creating them?

[eddyak]

He does sometimes use a rifle, but his preferred usage is to have them using their magic circuits at full power so the damage is complete and unrecoverable.

[You]

Yea using an origin bullet with a sniper rifle is for most cases the same as just using a sniper rifle with normal rounds.

[Menwearpink]

Also tacticool.

also because origin bullet sniping would be too hard for Urobuchi to write around probably. If you’ve noticed fate zero tends to have him ignore things that would make things not really work?

This. The whole point of Kerry's Origin Shots is that they do more damage relevant to the amount of MP the victim is using, so you want them to know that you're there, in order to get that extra 2000 bonus damage when they try to block.

Like how Saber's Instinct stopped working for just long enough for Diarmuid to cripple her and seal Excalibur until an appropriately dramatic moment?

[LJ3]

Hmm

that and Kojirou's specific Skill are what I remember being Skills that mess with people's ability to perceive your actions

Kojiro's skill just makes it so you can't request a dice roll with advantage because he uses the same trick over and over again. It doesnt stop you from getting your dice roll with advantage from some other source(Instinct rank A)

Basically if Kuzuki had Knowledge of Foremost Harmony his "Only the first round of the first match" super advantage would be permanently on.

Wow, this is the first time I've even thought about how she managed to dodge Cu in the first 20 seconds of summoning but loses to Diarmund at the docks. Most of the "Zero wrecked Saber" stuff tends to focus on the ideological issues not the physical ones.

[Arha]

I think I remember seeing a Fate timeline that showed the Mahabarata might have taken place before Gil. Does anyone have that or am I remembering that totally wrong?

She loses to Cu too though

"Haa, haa"
The girl catches her breath.
The blood that was running so much has stopped, and even her stabbed wound is healing.

"……"
I guess that's extraordinary.
I knew she wasn't normal, but still, that's too strange.

Like her skills to fight against Lancer, like the incredible magical energy in each of her blows, and like her body that heals by itself… this girl clearly surpasses Lancer.

…But that was only up to now.
Even if it's healing, her wound is deep.
If Lancer attacks her now, she'll be defeated without even being able to defend herself.

But.
With this overwhelming advantage, Lancer doesn't move.
He glares at the girl, grinding his teeth so hard that I can hear it.

In fact the rhythm of the fight is exactly the same for both.
Saber is winning hard against Lancer Servant
Lancer Servants reveals NP
There's a reversal

Apo's the one that reverses this

That was a poster from one of the Chaldea Aces'. The disclaimer said it was for real world stuff and not related to Fate.

I mean, Saber is dumb (lol @ her deciding to try and attack Medea on her homeground alone while injured, nerfed, and low on mana because "I R WURRIAH MAHSTA") but the idea that planning defeats supernatural precog powers that let you cheat destiny and dodge reality breaking attacks is just stupid.

Adding to this, on Holmes' Trial Quest, when talking about when the legends were written in relationship to when they are assume to have taken place, Holmes says this

Similarly, Karna and Arjuna are from legends of the 4th century BC that place their story as being in 5000 BC.

It's not exactly confirmation that the Mahabharata takes place on 5000 BC but it's the date the characters themselves are roughtly giving it

actually on the topping of kirtsugu sniping, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't double excel literally the best mage craft for sniping?

Not really? Kerry can only use his family's time-magic on his own body, so it's really just Haste that hurts you when the spell ends. Doesn't do anything for his guns.

[the god of world-0]

Wait, I didn't know double accel affected the bullet

Cu was under CS.

But yes, Saber is dumb. I'm-gonna-take-your-NP-to-the-face dumb. Her tactic when facing an opponent about to NP is literally just "let's just see what it does, it surely can't hurt me if I take it directly to my face!"
