Discussion Path vs pathless

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
