Well, I won’t be Ten rival then, not because I no longer want to but because First aint a challenge enough
Ten is seriously scary thought, the only way i see to kill him (appart outrageously powerfull power like Vyde) would be something like placing a very powerfull bomb in advance at a place he will have to go so he cannot get away from the explosion quick enough.
I think if First uses an instinctual movement type against Ten this should throw him off. There are far too many possibilities that can take place, too many variables to consider. This movement type is unpredictable and the best he could do is an educated guess maybe, considering how First doesn’t need to think to move, just react.
This is one reason I like that movement style. The unpredictable, non-planned one. Parkour-style (planned) is cool, indeed, but I bet this can achieve something similar, albeit not as efficiently when it comes to traversing a place perhaps.
If Ten is just able to see ten seconds into the future then it wouldn’t matter what First is thinking. Ten would still see whatever they’re going to do ten seconds ahead of time. Of course, it does bring up some interesting things to discuss, like, does Ten’s power prove that time is linear and that free will is an illusion?
But if Ten can see actual future events happening he wouldn’t need to consider all those variables. Only those that he knows would take place.
And I’d argue that technicaly instinctual movement might be more predictable than others, since it relies on instincts which are basically patterns. It has advantage of being quicker than planned, but I’m not sure that in this particular situation it’s helpful.
I’d say ‘mousetrap’ that you only see when you are already trapped inside type of tactic might be more effective. So planned might work better here?
I think any area of effect kind of attack might be hard to dodge if you have power of normal human (precog abilities aside). So it is either finding a way to simply prevent that kind of punch, or if it’s impossible finding area where you’ll suffer the least amount of damage (also using precognition)?
I think his powers would probably look like he has enhanced reflexes. It wouldn’t so much matter if x person could shoot fireballs, lasers, or had any number of powers. They’d have to be able to either attack him in such a way that he couldn’t use that ten second head start to get out of the way (Like, say, a grenade with a large radius), or put him in a situation that he couldn’t conceivably maneuver out of (Like, say, First getting a handful of any part of him).
A potentially fitting description would probably be Spiderman’s spidey sense, save that detection system can see ten seconds into the future.
But isn’t “planned” more predictable since you already have a set course of action? You were already going to act in this fashion it’s less random so it’s easier to counteract. But lets say he can predict all the movements First is going to make which is a lot to consider given events taking place throughout time aren’t preordained, we aren’t moving through it in a straight line.
But even so, if he was able to see this does it necessarily mean he can beat First? If you could see what the Hulk was going to do ten seconds before he did it could you stop him? Maybe this will only show that he can’t win certain fights no matter what course of action he tries to take.

But the thing is instincts are not random either, they are very specific responses to specific stimulus. And they are sort of ingrained so it’s harder to adjust them, unlike more “consious” actions. Hence if Ten was reading thoughts ‘instinctual’ movement would have an advantage, but he sees future so ‘planned’ approach might be more advantageous (if there is any advantage at all).

Oh, I am not saying that at all. All I tried to say is that I don’t think that specific type of movement has an advantage over others in that particular scenario.
My first point was that planned would be more predictable. I have no idea why spell check changed it to respectable lol. But anyway I wonder how much of an advantage this will give him. I think it’s worse if you already know you’re going to lose.

I just think all actions with immediate consequences are equally predictable with future vision.

Well in that case it might be a good idea to spend those ten seconds to flee. If it’s at all possible of course.
Finally started looking at other images… Have to admit Ten is not making my thoughts about Longcoats being the badass of all outfits any worse. DAMN YOU LONGCOATS AND YOUR AWESOME SCENIC BILLOWINGS! Ahem
Now if i wasn’t so into the Empathy x First thing i would totally go for Vaihl now too i mean hell older women are hot and largely experienced as well not to mention the whole animalistic look on her must mean she’s an animal in bed too! Oh my god hahahaha. I can already see it a troublemaking First making a cougar comment and inevitably getting a good smack to the face and possibly a laugh or something cause come that is good even if insulting.
@Snoe Are you redrawing all of your characters? If so I’ll be waiting to see a second Empathy.
Also it seems there will be many people who will act as sponsors for First. I’m probably going to side with Vyde during my first full playthrough. Cat lady seems like she might be a tad bit shifty, and it seems that Vyde is actually helping people without looking for something in return.
I’m unsure whether this has been stated/answered before and I apologise if it has. I was wondering: Will the RO’s prefer different personalities, such as optimistic/brooder? Or will personality not be a big thing?
Moreover, will physical appearance (for example build or eye and hair colour/style) effect their views on the MC, regarding relationships with them?
Hopefully that made sense. ^^
I agree with the Butters human ^, Vyde seems like a kind person. Well, at least in my opinion. I’m unsure about Cat Lady, she seems nice enough in her own way, although there is something about her…
