Interesting deviation though I kinda like the shock panels of revealing their exam when they get into the exams e: Oh nevermind, the entire intro is the same as the manga. Just might miss a few small jokes from pages. Aurora fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Sep 2, 2017 |

The manga actually forgot to show us Aoyama and Shoji's grade ranks. But like I predicted it was Aoyama at 18th and Shoji at 10th.

I like their reasoning for putting Todoroki and Momo together and I wish we could see their process for everyone Still, putting together the two kids who got in thru Reccomendations and are some of the smartest kids in class together is a lil bit unfair, but at least they're fighting the guy who cancels Quirks

Moltrey posted:I like their reasoning for putting Todoroki and Momo together and I wish we could see their process for everyone Being book-smart is completely worthless in the current scenario. Both definitely aced the writing test, but this is not that, this is a fighting test and why they're both bad at fighting was made clear in the episode itself: Todoroki gets through fights due to being an eugenics project gone right, his tactics are non-existent beyond "blast 'em full force with ice and/or fire" while Yao-momo is unable to make decisions in the heat of battle and as such wastes an useful quirk and her own intelligence. Also we'll probably get the reasons for everyone else as their fights start, like Kirishima and Sato being together against Cementoss due to having physical, power Quirks which are a terrible match against Cementoss' walls, as well as very little in the tactics department that would've gotten them through such a disadvantageous situation.

Terper posted:Ooooh. This actually deviates from the manga. In the manga, all the fights were fought in different locations at the same time. I was kinda confused when they started numbering them as "first fight" and "second fight", but I like this. It's a good change since it let's them comment on the fights through the two student observers.

It's just the constant hammering her self-worth has taken recently (both the tournament fight and then getting chosen just for her looks instead of anything to do with her powers) is really taking a toll on her. And while Kirishima and Sato certainly weren't even attempting to utilize any tactics, in retrospect I'm not entirely sure what they could have done even if they had tried thinking the problem through. Both have incredibly direct physical quirks with not much in the way of side uses, and in the middle of a city is basically the worst possible battlefield you could encounter Cementoss on. Like, of all the teachers he's probably the one affected by the handicap the least. Their best bet probably would have been to split up and run away separately, because I seriously see absolutely no way for them to beat him. Even then it'd be a huge tossup, because neither of them have any particular speed or maneuverability to assist, and Cementoss could still throw up walls or domes as they ran away instead of advancing.

They should have ran away or got a sneak attack on. Preferably trying to do the latter while doing the former.

As also with Deku and Bakugo, they're pairing off people who have the most to learn by being with each other and that's good, but also Todoroki and Momo are both top of the class and then you see Jiro and timid boy and well this just seems a tad uneven

I feel like inflexibility is a real killer if you're gonna be a hero. A villain isn't going to care that Kirishima and Sato have quirks poor suited to fighting them. They need to still be capable of doing something in that highly plausible situation. If Deku was swapped in (with one of their quirks too) I feel like he'd figure out a frontal assault wasn't working and try something else like retreating (Cementoss was noted to not be very fast) or getting out of sight and launching a surprise attack. Deku's quirk couldn't do poo poo during the race yet he still got in first due to his flexibility, creativity and strategy.

Moltrey posted:Momo's Quirk is entirely reliant on her being booksmart, the only way she create anything is if she knows the atomic make up of it. Pairing her up with Todoroki where attacking for him is just a huge gently caress off wall of fire or ice works as great cover for her. Plus it's not like they're Bad at fighting, Momo's just inexperienced where Todoroki is, but he's simple. Yeah but they are fighting Eraserhead so they won't be able to use their quirks most of the time.

Kirishima and Sato got greedy and started punching towards Cementoss to capture him when they should've taken advantage of his lack of speed (and also the travel time of his cement creation) by punching away from him. Sato could've grabbed Kirishima and threw him as hard as he could out of the arena since that would satisfy the win condition (the heroes are outmatched, one of them must escape to call for help).

Invisible girl has no other abilities besides being permanently invisible, right? I don't know what kind of pro-hero work she could even do, when to fully exercise her quirk she has to be totally naked and not carrying anything, which means she can't even use weapons or tools. Unless she secretly is built like Sakura from Dangan Ronpa I'm not sure what she could really accomplish in a combat scenario.

She got through the entrance exam somehow though. She'd be great at saving hostages, chasing down purse-snatchers or bank robbers or sneaking up on villains without much durability and bopping them.

She can't make her clothes invisible though, so she can't wear protective gear. That's why she lost so hard to Todoroki, she couldn't step over his ice and couldn't deal with the cold at all.

I mean none of them knew what he could do so even if she's in a costume she'd be frozen in place. I think she does say she's naked but imo they could be able to make something out of her hair like they did for Mirio and his phasing outfit.

In the manga it's eventually shown that she refracts light around her body and has some control over that, but we won't get to that for a while.

The way Cementoss used his attacks he pretty much completely killed any forward visibility he had. He was definitely open to anyone that would try to sneak around to him instead of just trying to tank the forward path. Also, the show has so far hammered in the concept that quirks are for the most part physical activities that strain the user while they're used. Cementoss, being a pro, probably has a lot of stamina, but you could fight a battle of attrition against him smarter than "just break through every single barrier".

Also I feel as though they are being graded on how they attempt to handle the situation so a duo that fails but tried to do something smart is going to get a better score then a team that falls for the obvious trap.

That's generally how these things go. I doubt they're genuinely expected to outfox a pro hero, it's all about how much they make the pro work for the victory.

In the Manga they're all testing at the same time. Which also adds a layer of 'oh dang' with so and so failed already or so and so won already.
