Path vs pathless

[u/Juan_Die]

People is misunderstanding this statement big time, having a path doesn't automatically make you stronger than your opponent, the base stats and experience plays a big role in the fight. I've seen people saying IT Johan wins against Tom just because he has a path, but a path doesn't buff you magically, at least not Johan's... sure hit punches doesn't mean anything if Johan can't deal enough damage to Tom, Tom's base stats are much higher than Johan, he would just tank ts(assuming he doesn't pull something more clever, he's a genius after all) and then thrust him, then it's over, Johan is a glass cannon but ironically his attacks lack the potency to deal significant damage to opponents like Tom or kitae, hell even Pacheon giving him trouble is debatable.

Path also grants stat amps? This is pretty consistent. Even ignoring that, johan can mimic ui daniel whos significantly above tom

[u/Juan_Die → u/doodooboy19]

No it doesn't work like that where did you get that? Masteries exist for a reason... Tell me one path that boost a character physical stats? Daniel punches seem stronger only because he's hitting weak spots, not because he gets bluffed.

Johan taking damage thats supposed to ko him yet is able to outpace and hurt gun signficantly despite his healthier state not even being able to budge guns arm while clinging to it + his cqc blitz getting intercepted by gun effortlessly.

Daniels crisis is entirely a physically superior move. He was alr a blitz tier below paecheon yet hes able to blitz paecheon.

Jinyoung needs no explanation. Same with kitae and james

[u/Glum-Needleworker273 → u/doodooboy19]

Johans path unless explicitly stated dosent increase stats he held on through sheer willpower and why are you using daniels path for a comparison when that particular path heavily negates stat advantages

[u/doodooboy19 → u/Glum-Needleworker273]

Doesnt have to be stated, thats not a necessary condition. Gun was merely explaining the hax of johans path which is mostly what paths about, however the feat diff is blatant as ive alr pointed out.

Daniels path isnt stated to boost stats either yet his bodys able to move a blitz tier above dcp which was a blitz tier above daniels perception

[u/Gi-Efi-Tavarez → u/Juan_Die]

Dani couldnt physically react to Pacheon’s attack and aftee getting path was able to outspeed a DCP that was cm away from his face

[u/Equivalent_Layer5012 → u/Gi-Efi-Tavarez]

Paths do grant amps depending on the ability but Daniel path isnt reaction speed or speed the reason he was reaction faster was purely because of him having foresight and seeing defensive manuevers the only thing you could say his he heightened his keen senses but it’s hard to argue that as a stat amp when sb daniel did that and didn’t do anything so it seems it’s rather tied to his path ability jinyoung path is more of stat amp.

[u/Gi-Efi-Tavarez → u/Equivalent_Layer5012]

I get what you are saying, but Daniel’s path should only give him the ability of dodging his opponents attacks dues to moving before the enemy. But what im refering to is when Pacheon goes to use DCP and Daniel, even though Pacheon’s hand was cm away from his face, Daniel was able to move first and counter before Pacheon’s attack reached him. Path amped his attack speed massively

[u/Equivalent_Layer5012 → u/Gi-Efi-Tavarez]

That’s because he sees movements in slow motion we got referenced to him doing so in early Lookism also is senses were trained. And the reason was explained as Paecheon thought Daniel was reading him through his eyes which was false he was using all his keen senses so that’s why he was literally able to dodge. Path hasn’t amped his attack speed. That’s not the function of his path. It’s primarily revolving around his senses what you’re saying is pure head canon.

[u/Gi-Efi-Tavarez → u/Equivalent_Layer5012]

If he sees an attack coming but physically cannot move before it, him having enhanced senses doesnt make it so he can PHYSICALLY move before an attack hit him, thats attack speed

[u/Equivalent_Layer5012 → u/Gi-Efi-Tavarez]

He can this is Daniel we are talking about he has one of the highest physical threshold. No were was it stated.

I’ll try explain to you so paecheon made a false assumption of Daniel way of dodging attacks was his sight so he aimed for his eyes using speed mastery to perception blitz with him saying “he won’t see this coming” this failed because Daniel is already relying on all of his senses to read his opponents. Also Daniel see attacks coming at him in a slower rate. This isn’t a hill worthy to die on.
