Reaaaaady ?

 

[Faust]

Hello.

There are still lists that needs to be confirmed/clarified.

Lots of participants are nominating characters (and all of their abilities) instead of individual abilities...

 

[Erinyes]

Buffer x Buffer

 

[Copy Panda]

@Faust can i still change my list

 

[Faust]

Been busy with work.

And there are still some picks that I need clarification/confirmation since there's a lot of abilities with unofficial names/multiple names.

I will start the countdown as soon as possible this week.

Thanks for your patience.

Is that a can of Dr. Pepper on his desk? Nah, it's probably Coca-Cola.

i cant wait to write walls of text for every ability containing unwanted levels of analysis

 

[Lawl Po Bia]

I think pandaw will enjoy my list , it is a bit niche but very interesting

 

[GrySun]

I may have changed my mind a bit in the weeks since I sent my list, but didn‘t want to go through trying to change stuff.

 

[Faust]

There's two lists that needs to be fixed. (A nen ability was listed twice on the same list / nen ability needs to be specified)

Will start the countdown once it's been fixed by the participant.

Thanks for your patience.

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 1, 2024, Original Post Date: Nov 1, 2024 ---

Update

- Will count Perfect Plan and God's Accomplice as one
- Will count Dragon Head, Dragon Lance and Dragon Dive as one since they are variations of Dragon Head
- Will count Black Voice and Autopilot as one

 

[GrySun]

Sure. Now give me the spice, I want to judge other people‘s picks

 

[Faust]

A week extension.

I will post all HM's, even the ones with no points if we get at least 25 participants.

We currently have 15 participants.

We only have 17 participants. Therefore, honorable mentions with zero points will not be part of the countdown.

Will start the countdown once @HereNThere and @Uriel responds to clarify their respective list.

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 1, 2024, Original Post Date: Nov 1, 2024 ---

Since Uriel just need to specify the nen abilitiy for his 3-pointer, I can start the countdown and present the 1-pters and 2-pters.

Buffer please.

Spiritual Massage...

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 1, 2024, Original Post Date: Nov 1, 2024 ---

How fast are you? @Lawl Po Bia

 

[GrySun]

Very interesting first batch ngl.

Kastro was goated. He gets bad rep for trying something unique other than „punch strong“, sadly only complete geniuses like Netero can pull off some weird ability outside their expertise. The Double didn‘t even seem weaker than the original, he casually disarmed Hisoka like butter. But we don’t have enough details about how it works for me to put it in my list.

Hypnotic spell is interesting but it‘s unclear where it‘s limits are. It can affect someone‘s personality to a certain degree, so the use cases could be plenty.

Ghost writer is a bit too cryptic for my taste, and iirc the user can‘t use it on themselves is my main dislike.

I don‘t like Silent Majority. So far it‘s only been used on fodder and mostly off screen too.

Spiritual Massage isn‘t so bad, but the non Meruem version still has a bit too many downsides and possible failed interpretation.

Tag is quite awesome. Domain expansion stuff is cool and interesting. Though it really has too much of a timelimit.

If you break it down and consider his growth, HK works as an Enhancer's ability for Netero. Though I was a firm believer that he was an Emitter before the reveal, but my logic from back then still applies. Transmutation and Emission are next to Enhancement.

The difference between him and Kastro is that he reached he fully developed his ability. Netero's prayer and hand motions are at the core of his ability. Kastro deliberately went for Conjuration and Manipulation like an idiot. The superior double's ability is Hanzo's.

I share your opinion regarding Pouf's ability.

Illumi's Spell can only work if he implants one of his needles in your head.

Erin probably listed SM because she likes the doll's design .

 

[Copy Panda]

Double is a fascinating ability narratively because the author does not often start by explaining the power system so thoroughly that they demonstrate a "bad" ability first. Sure, if Kastro had trained for another year, he would be more experienced with the ability. But he would never have mastered it the way a conjurer or manipulator could. Every now and again I see folks comparing Kastro to Netero (seeing they're both Enhancer who dipped into conjuration and manipulation), though I will say that Netero's power was tied to an activation condition + the statue was a static construct that more or less mimics Netero's own movements, whereas Kastro made a whole clone. What I like most about this is that through contracts and training you can overcome some limitations, but you can never get too "clever" with the system without some kind of sacrifice.

This is one aspect of the power system that I absolutely adore; each and every power is a self-expression. Some people are better at doing so than others. Some are better at some kinds of expressions than others (in this sense, every category of abilities is almost a little art form). I think what would have been interesting if we saw multiple people with the same or similar ability (as in all trying to learn the same ability) and then see how that works out

By the by, I have a soft spot for clone and copy-type powers, and I greatly considered adding Shaiapoufs Beelzebob, I also thought for a human it's completely impossible to make so it's not something I should want. Spiritual Message is another cool power that fits the character well, and even has some kind of multi-pronged usage (a lethal application vs nen muggles and a tactical application against nen users) even though I think I'd rather have a more direct power than this. After all, Pouf is strong because of his genetics, not his powers. Cool pick though, glad to see it.

On the earlier topic of "bad" powers, Tag is another interesting example of this even though it's bad for different reasons. The power was ill-suited to Cheetu's personality rather than his capacities, yet, because of his ant-nature, it's a powerful ability nonetheless (compared to Kastro who nerfed himself).

Hypnotic spell is an interesting choice to list I'm not sure what exactly is so interesting about it considering the very limited information we have on the technique. What's more is that the power apparently didn't cause a nen initiation in Killua? Curious. Illumi's power are as pure and basic as a manipulator can get. I don't dislike it - it's practical, simple, versatile (much like Bungee Gum really) and besides in single combat against anything not an ant, you have a OHKO move at the ready. It's just that to me it feels a little uninspired. That said, it's cool that to be strong you don't need an elaborate power but one suited to you.

Ghost Writer is cool, I think narratively skillful applications of foreshadowing (I'm not sure but I think Shalnarks prediction foreshadowed his later demise?).

Silent Majority, man that murder mystery is still ongoing. I suppose everyone and their mother have reached this conclusion over the years, but I think the caster is that pig-headed dude standing guard outside of the room. As a power for myself I don't think I'd like it. So many risks taken for an ability whose only goal is murder. Middling. As a plot device though, I love it. Togashi just doesn't miss

Harsh

His clone can't be used while in combat though, whereas Kastro's Double has all kinds of applications (and could probably be used, albeit as a disadvantage, against nen users of a lower caliber)
