Talk:Terra Branford vs Milla Maxwell/@comment-28102719-20160322205023/@comment-3463132-20160322214136

Might as well leave some feedback myself-

"Powerscaling alone is not enough to determine a victor"

While I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly- you really only let Milla have a chance based on the powerscaling though- all of her feats paint her as far below Terra. Even magic guard itself is based 100% on scaling since it's something Milla never used in a cutscene.

You're saying she can withstand these magical attacks through a featless ability. Furthermore- she is not immune to the attacks- she just takes reduced damage. Meaning stuff like "stop" and "death" would still go through and spell certain defeat for Milla as she had no defense against those abilities besides sheer chance (which is a bad idea to depend on for fictional battles).

Also, no offense, but you come across as a tad biased in the conclusion. "Terra had a small army to back her up". Milla working with others is exactly the same- it's actuallly more teamwork as they actively have to bond with one another in battle in Tales of Xillia compared to simply fighting alongside others normally.

Also- since when is Terra weak in close combat? Just because she fights better further away doesn't mean she's bad at close combat or swordplay. Milla great claim to fame for swordsmanship is "Feel like the blade is an extension of your arm" which is nothing at all. Dissidia (while uncanon) shows her chasing and cutting people with her sword in midair- implying that she's more than capable of fighting in CQC just as well as Milla. That said...close combat would also depend very heavily on IF Milla could catch Terra- which brings up a pretty core issue for this fight- you don't mention how fast either of them can fly or move. That's... fairly important considering you pretty much outright insisted Terra would try to stay away and use magic instead of fighting up close. You need speed feats for flight speed good sir- that would matter no small bit to the outcome.
