You said you couldn't deflect a fireball with a sword. I cite canons that do just that, or with less.
The question asked if you need Area Shield Proficiency and you said you can't do it with a sword.
2+2 = 4 but so does 1 + 3. Having the higher tech and speed is the best way to counter and defend, but in cases where you don't have the advantage, having a move and the Area Shield Prof is the next best option.
Doesn't matter what your canon is, without the advantage in tech and speed, your sword shouldn't be deflecting all that much and to a character like this, in order to deflect something with any degree of success, you would need the move and Shield Area Prof. Make sense?
Guys, what Minato said is very important. It does NOT matter what your character was capable of in their canon, the only thing that matters is what is capable in the Omniverse. Goku could punch through fireballs in canon, but without the proper stats/moves/powers/prof he wouldn't be able to do so here.
All correct (I assume you meant to put Def and not Spd in there, this is blocking not dodging) EDIT: Unless you are just referring to the speed factor necessary to move your arm fast enough to counter-block bullets Generally not applicable to area attacks but I suppose if someone made a huge, really fast attack it could matter then... All not relevant. The question and answer I oppose is the RP factor and not the stats and powers required to do it. Yes it would take 300 OM to do it. No, you can't say that a katana, or a fist, couldn't be used to just swing to block or deflect a blast much larger than the weapon you are using.
Quote:Ki Block (600) (Area Shield, Insight) - Goku focuses and with two fists, slams an incoming energy projectile of any size in an attempt to deflect it changing the trajectory. Goku can charge additional Ki into his fists, using his Insight to evaluate his opponent and the projectile to match the energy needed to deflect it.
Fists, blocking X meter wide energy blasts. Geno Beam is a 2 meter wide energy blast, I would have no doubt that Goku or the like should be able to deflect it, especially on its lowest setting provided he has sufficient Def and Tec compared to Att.
Quote:Derflinger (900) (Area Shield, Area Attack) - Derflinger is a two handed, 6 foot talking sword. While he looks like an old and outdated sword. He is a strong and capable weapon and very tough. Swung quickly enough, Saito can use Derflinger to throw a rush of wind in a 200 degree arc knocking back (but dealing no damage) to opponents. Derflinger's inherent magic also allows it to absorb incoming magical spells or energy attacks. Touching a spell or energy blast will allow him to completely negate the attack. However, with extremely powerful spells or repeated use Derflinger may fail and shatter. Saito normally always has Derflinger at his side, but should Derflinger die he takes 10 minutes to re-summon with Omnilium making it difficult in combat.
These two sample moves may take a little tweaking here and there, but as a basis they shouldn't fail because a small weapon is being used blocked a large attack. This is about the RP flavor
