@ghostravage:
They were not bullet timing, they were moving too fast to be aimed at by the Enforcers
If you play the clip at 18 seconds in slow motion with sound, you can see/hear the Chemtank guard cutting a bullet with it's sword:
They also straight up missed, period.
I mean, they're clearly capable of moving relative to the bullets though.
If you look here:
He twists his body very slightly, but just enough to be clear of a bullet that would have otherwise grazed him. It's a bit hard to tell like this though, so I suggest going directly to the time stamp and going frame by frame using the period and comma buttons.
If you look here:
He makes large movements while the bullets are still in motion. Even if you want to argue that the bullets would have missed regardless, the speeds he's moving at are still clear either way.
In this next instance:
He flat-out ducks under the bullet. First frame they're in front of him, next frame he's lowered his body and one bullet is behind him. Again, I'd suggest going straight to the video and doing frame-by-frame, so you can see just how much he's moving here.
Yes, the only actual bullet timer in the series. She was tracking his movements but she didn't managed to land a single shot on him.
Because he knew every single shot she was going to take before she made them. They were both trying to out Midnighter each other. She thought the fight would go the way it did in their childhood, where she fires some shots, he dodges them, but then she traps him with a finisher.
He knew she was too emotionally stunted to think things could go differently, so he used his past experience with her to dodge every single shot. You can see she goes from confident to panicked the second he "broke script".
Contrary to your "take" regarding the Turbo Chemtank Guards, you can actually see Ekko dodging the bullets after they were shot right at him instead of Jinx missing or him just moving erratically. Every dodge had purpose and was calculated.
Jinx was also using a pistol, which means the projectile speeds Ekko had to deal with are likely half that of the rifles in the Chemtank feats. Possibly even less.
And again, he planned out the entire encounter in advance.
I said fighting style, which involves more than just hand to hand (even more so when it is painfully blatant she uses guns and custom made grenades while fighting physically too),
How are their fighting styles "similar"? One uses guns and never fights hand to hand, the other only fights hand to hand. That's not comparable at all.
Even if we assumed their threat levels were 'similar' that doesn't mean the tactics that work on one will work on the other. Once Ekko made it to close range against Jinx, the fight was over. You really it'd be that easy if he got into close range with Vi?
Even the assumption that they have "similar threat levels" is flawed, since Jinx largely uses prep to be dangerous, which she didn't have here. Vi can fight Sevika straight up. Whereas Jinx has to gas her to take her down. You never once get the impression that she'd be able to beat Sevika in a direct encounter.
not hand to hand you blind twat.
Rather silly to get that worked up over this, don't you think?
