GamingEmpire wrote: the statistics don't really count for much, let's be real here. Izuku's a one in power, but he could level a building if he wanted to, so... Yes but that isn't the power that is measured by the "strength" stats. The strength stats are a characters base strength, not whatever strength heir quirk give them. As you pointed out, Izuku's strength varies depending on how much of his quirk he uses, but the same could be said about Muscular as well.

For instance All Might's strength is 6/5, but this is just his bodies strength. The strength of the body is something that he has to build in order for his body not to get destroyed when he uses the quirk.

GamingEmpire wrote: With regards to her Quirk, again, Zero Gravity is virtually worthless in a fight against Bakugou. If she had hit him with her Quirk, then he'd just float... which accomplishes next to nothing. You mean like how she made a ball float into space? No, if she touched Bakugou and made him float she could have just given him a little shove and he would have floated into space or out into the crowd. Sure maybe he could have used his own quirk as a jet engine to push himself back, but when he was in the air he would still be a sitting duck. Besides unless his reaction had been extremely fast she could have just deactivated her quirk and made him drop onto the ground outside of the ring.

GamingEmpire wrote: Bakugou easily could have blasted her to bits when he wanted to. Yes if he had gone full power. He did try to blow her away with his quirk, but she was able to avoid most of what he threw her way. See if he had gone full power he would have run the risk of hurting the audience.

GamingEmpire wrote: To imply Bakugou was at a disadvantage due to Quirks is ridiculous. Bakugou's quirk is pretty shitty. It is only as good as it is because he has been working hard on making it more versatile. In the end all the quirk does is create explosions. So in a fight with fixed rules that took place in an open space where he ran the risk of hurting bystanders he was limited in what he could do. If they had been inside of a building with a roof that disadvantage would have been almost nullified.

GamingEmpire wrote: He had full advantage - Range, power, and a target that needed to make physical contact with him to do anything. That is why I said that Ochaco's Achilles heel was her lack of speed. Her power would be a one-hit kill move against a large number of people in a lot of situations. Meanwhile it has been demonstrated that a lot of people have been able to tank a lot of Bakugou's attacks. Even Ochaco was able to attack his attacks during their match. If he went full power it would have been different, but using his full power hurts his hands and endangers bystanders if used.

GamingEmpire wrote: Additionally he's quick, and has far superior instincts and reflexes to hers. He is quicker than her yes, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that he has better instincts. But it doesn't matter, he was still at a disadvantage quirk-wise during that match. He won not because his quirk was batter, but because he was faster.played it safe and had some real skills.

GamingEmpire wrote: He kept her at bay because he was being smart. To argue that he was on the run is provably untrue. How is it untrue? And how does him being smart negate that he was forced to fight her in a certain way?

GamingEmpire wrote: Being smart and being disadvantaged are very different things. Yes, but again... her quirk was better suited for an outdoor fight where bystanders could be harmed by his quirk and where all she had to do was to remove him from the ring.

GamingEmpire wrote: Bare in mind, at this point, Uraraka had absolutely no hand-to-hand experience. Literally 0 experience at all. Implying that Ochaco's 5/5 technique was after her training with Gunhead.

GamingEmpire wrote: Zero Gravity just isn't a very good Quirk for Combat. My sides... dude, Zero Gravity is one of the most overpowered quirks in the entire manga.
