I agree with Gooral,Claire and Histy are definitely the fastest monsters out there.
Even Teresa can't be effectively faster than those two 'cause since she has a normal body she can't control speed after a certain limit (like Histy said).....Prissy on the other hand should have no problem controlling that kind of speed. |

Hysteria, to me, is powerful when she feel she needs to be -- what's both helping and hurting her, is her obsession with elegance; gallantry and technique. She's a powerhouse but of a different nature. As we saw with Miria, it works against her in instances when unconventional or 'dirty/cheap/etc' methods surprise her because she's undoubtedly disgusted against such things, and is thus vulnerable to them. More so, that's probably why we haven't seen the kind of power you are thinking of - because her obsession simply won't let her fight in a manner that is not 'beautiful'. I have no doubts that she can be overwhelming when she wants to be, but this necessity is helping her in terms of efficiency and also hurting her because she flat out refuses to think outside her little box. If anything, I honestly thought at one point that, when pushed too far, she would abandon all these pretenses and become a raging monster that's complete opposite to this - but the fact that, even now as an AB (especially in fact), she still carries this necessity, just shows how far this style is embedded in her. Nevertheless, I am agreeing with you that she is most definitely the weakest of the ZAOs - she's powerful alright, no doubts there, but as we have plainly seen with her fight against Miria, she is simply unprepared against unorthodox attackers, especially those with raging power on their side (Cassandra fits this to a T)....Roxanne as well, with her incredible potential/mimicry and chaotic intelligence, would undoubtedly figure out Hysteria's weakness and beat her. It's all about being on par with her and then fighting on your terms, not hers - if anything, I think you don't even have to be as strong as her; so long as, again, you fight in a manner that contrasts her elegence, you would have effectively pushed her into a corner. Claire, I feel, would actually beat Hysteria faster then Miria did -- her straightforward methods and power would blow her away; Miria was having trouble because she was fighting on Hysteria's terms, with a technique that was too similar to her own (it was more of a technique vs technique battle then one of actual power)....once Miria though started "making her own rules", Hysteria got the surprise of her life (again). Just to sum it up: in my mind, Cassie is the strongest, Roxanne has the largest potential, Hysteria is just...well, Hysteria. That said, I still hope none of them die anytime soon because it would just be anticlimatic of epic proportions - they've barely grown on me yet because we barely even know them still. After ten years, You can't kill off the Big Three, replace them with three new people, and kill them off in a less then a year

Why do you think that both Histy and Miria (that btw are the greatest "expert" in the speed-field) both agree that normal warriors can't go beyond a certain limit with their speed? It's obvious that they both know that it's impossible to control effectively their speed,and it's also obvious that using the sword to stop is a very moronic idea since you basically will stop near the enemy unable to use your sword. .....and before you say that it's just for a split second you should notice that using that kind of absurd speed makes sense ONLY if you are facing a crazy strong monster (if not,Miria's speed is more than enough),BUT if you are really facing a monster like that, than the split second necessary to use the sword is also the split second where your opponent destroys you.

Why you say that Clare is much faster than Alicia?
Comparing the damage that they did to Priscilla are very similar "Clare only slightly better". Therefore, their level would be very similar! "Chapter 100, pag 30-31 and chapter 98 pag 24" I do not understand what you mean with the need traction to control the speed . Priscilla can control the speed perfectly in her human form! |

Simple. Edit:Ehm,i never said that Prissy has really used her speed,i just said that almost surely she should have no problem controlling that kind of speed thanx to her ability (finger nails)....and considering her immense talent she almost surely has that kind of speed. Probably till now we never saw Prissy use that kind of speed,that's why she never had any problem controlling her movements. Last edited by MalakTawus; 2012-01-04 at 17:13. |

Yup,but i doubt she was running at the best of her ability,i mean, she was still in human-form at that point (and btw it's not that Helen and Deneve could really escape from her anyway...and Prissy knew it) and Prissy was not even mad there.
With this i'm not saying that Prissy is surely THAT fast (well,i should check to be certain,but i don't feel like doing it now,lol),just saying that i wouldn't be surprised (not even a little bit) if in the future we'll find out for sure thats she really IS that fast. |

If what you say is true, Clare 7 years ago was much faster than an abysmals (talking about the legs). So how can Rigardo block so fast attacks?? He should have died instantly unable to react to the attack, but he was able to react and defend or dodge. This impossibility your reasoning |

Alicia was designed to cut, with speed as a secondary. Hysteria was built for pure speed.
Clare's partial awakened form is also based on severe cutting, but speed is what inspired her form, like Hysteria. You're also asking that if Clare was so fast, how could Rigardo block and avoid her? Well, she didn't even know how to control her own body well at the time, and when she finally got used to it, Rigardo didn't even bother trying to avoid her. And I don't see comparing the damage done to Priscilla to be fair. Alicia was fully awakened and in a tag team when she was fighting her. The circumstances were very different.

Rigardo was able to keep up with Claire only at the beginning when Claire was still trying to control that speed,as soon as the awakening progressed and Claire begun to control her speed Rigardo was clearly unable to keep up with Claire's speed.Once her partial awakening reached a certain point Claire COMPLETELY destroyed Rigardo like he was nothing. Btw Rigardo was able to keep up perfectly well with Miria's phantom so that means that he himself was very fast.......but still Claire was so fast that at top speed Rigardo wasn't even able to see her. ...but anyway yes,during her partial awakening Claire's speed was absolutely crazy and there would be nothing strange if she was faster than even abyssals (not that it's possible to confirm it since the old AOs are already dead). The only hint that we have is that Isley was faster than Rigardo,BUT from those panels it seems that Rigardo had no problem following Isley's movements with his eyes, against Claire instead he wasn't always able to see her (fortunately for him at the beginning Claire's control was VERY bad and all he had to do was avoiding her predictable attacks,probably looking also at the starting position like Histy did against Miria) And btw,it's not so certain that abyssals have really a speed A LOT superior to Rigardo just because they are abyssals,this idea is clearly wrong. Do you really think that Miria would lose in speed against Cassy and Riful (probably even Roxy,but we don't know a lot about her for now)? I don't think so, just because they are abyssals it doesn't mean that they necessarily have supreme speed (obviously they ARE fast,lol),especially if they specialize in something different from speed.

Mind you Ryus, it is a legend....in other words, it's very veeeery easy for the story that all the warriors hear, especially overtime, to be a completely distorted version of the truth; something merely meant to inspire awe and fear in the newer people who hear it.
In that sense, It's probably best actually to take it with a grain of salt -- their's undoubtedly truth in it, but I'm not sure about taking the story we heard as definitive.

I know... was more in pure jest then anything.
I just saw Rockwall Hill and rolled my eyes at Yagi's plot device and had to comment about it , not so much about anything you had to say my stab was entirely aimed at Rockwall Hill and the heaps of bodies... limited by 47 warriors max and the fact no incident was worse than Luciela's awakening. Sorry for any confusion, thought I was being clear when I clearly took your comment out of context.

I was just saying my comment to.....you know, just remind you that the story is inherieitly iffy -- I guess I didn't realize you yourself was joking about it I mean, it sounds pretty scary.....certainly the way they went about it; unlike Cassie's story though, all we are getting is what Miria heard and, considering she completely trumped her only a few chapters (and in her world....what, a few minutes) after we heard...suddenly, she doesn't sound so scary I mean really, when you think about it, Miria is a million times more terrifying and essentially pulled off her own supposed Rockwell Hill Incident at Staff itself....the warriors went in knowing what to expect, but the Org basically told them a monster was approaching......and instead they see a warrior garbed in their own clothing completely decimating all of them non-lethally. Miria as a person, and what she did at Staff, is a million times more legendary then Hysteria's - especially in our own eyes because we know what she did wasn't just a vague story. If the Org still exists years from now, Miria will no doubt receieve the same notority, if not more, then Hysteria did.

^It's why Miria will likely live (she just died, it's unlikely she'll die again so soon... just be poor generic writing if that happened) and Hysteria is now doomed to become someone's fodder since she awakened and all ABs die... unless Yagi has some major twist no one has seen coming up ahead.
You're right though, for the most part what Miria did is more legendary (after all what Hysteria did was infamous (j/k, though it's true)). Though admittedly Alicia and Beth where gone and Hysteria likely did fight her gens #2, Audrey supposedly held back (don't see it making a difference though since so was Miria) once again Hysteria's gen likely had the #3 of her day going all out against her, and she choose not to harm the twins due to there state (still not clearly why, I mean after all her end game was a K.O. and not one that lasts for days just enough time to stab some old men who can't run away ).

In this picture it is clear that Clare is not much higher speed than Rigardo. He is back on the air, feel the Clare's yoki approach from below and gives him time to rotated and block the attack of the protagonist. If what you say is true, should not be able to react to a move so fast. But he can turn around and block without seeing with his eyes the start the attack! In fact, he perceived the attack after its start. In this case, prediction is not to work, just speed. Last edited by su5so; 2012-01-05 at 05:05. |
