In this video, we will see how broken we can make Magician's Red.
I tweaked The Hand, but the point was that because Okuyasu as a user, wouldn't do a lot
of the things you'd want him to do.
The good thing is that Avdol puts "the hands" on many people, so I'm going to be free-range
with this, still in character, though.
Before we edit Magician's Red, let's look to the times that Avdol had used it first
so we can gauge what needed fixing there.
Against Jotaro, he did a great job.
Dio controlled Polnareff, but from what we've seen with Polnareff and mind control, he's
still not one to hold back.
Avdol still beat him with that in mind, so that's pretty good.
Hol Horse and J.Geil were more underhanded, but a loss is a loss.
Mariah was defeated using smarts, and Vanilla Ice was almost impossible.
Considering it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, you can count this as a loss because his wits
weren't quick enough.
But a "stand" like Cream has already been shown to react to one of the fastest users
ever.
So even with Avdol losing like this, this isn't even a bad loss.
Most stand users wouldn't survive this at all.
I really mean what I say with this Magician's Red title.
The "stand" is already pretty damn good.
I don't know what we could fix for him to be better, but hell, we can try.
Bring out the stats!
Wow, these are pretty good.
There's a B in power, B in speed, C in range, B in stamina, C in precision, and a D in potential.
But here's the question, would changing the stats here change the outcome of the fights
against Vanilla Ice and "dumb and dumber"?
More speed could mean that Avdol could react faster against the Emperor and Cream, but
would that get Avdol out of the pinch?
I think there was a similar distance between Vanilla Ice and Avdol, with Vanilla Ice and
Polnareff when Iggy saved him.
Yeah, you can get someone out of the way of Cream if you know it's coming, but what does
that say about what happened to Avdol?
I don't think this was a dumb plot move or something, I think getting both his friends
out the way as fast as possible is what Avdol would do.
I think he would try to dodge if he saw what was coming after him, but Vanilla Ice went
back into Cream before attacking him.
So Avdol only got blindsided by things you'd never expect.
How do we modify him to where he'd even be able to counteract that.
I don't necessarily think the answer is in Magician's Red's stats, but instead, its abilities,
specifically Life Detector.
"The flames are amassed at the tips of the radars and will detect movements, breathing,
and Stand energy in a 15 meters radius."
This ability sounds pretty good, but it doesn't account for a "stand" that transcends dimensions.
But, what can we do?
I think I know what, but we're going to do it in a Yu-Gi-Oh format.
For my first hand, I'm going to take potential down from a D to an E and stamina from a B
to a C. If I'm going to be using the equivalent exchange format from the Okuyasu video, an
addition to ability should be worth two points.
And the power that I add to Magician's Red's Life Detector is that now it can sense intent.
So Yup, we're going Naruto mode.
Avdol can now feel J.Geil and Vanilla Ice with the ability to sense intent without seeing
them.
Here's the thing, since he didn't use Life Detector in the fight against Hol Horse, he
still loses there, but you remember that he didn't die, so that's fine.
With the Vanilla Ice fight, for as long as Avdol can keep producing Life Detector, he's
able to tell precisely when and where Vanilla Ice will be coming from to attack.
But since I had taken down his stamina, we don't know how well he'll be able to keep
it up.
And considering that Avdol now has a tool that specifically counters Vanilla Ice, he
will be the main target, and it's either the three of them get Vanilla Ice with no casualties,
or we get the same result as last time.
I didn't want to take away from any of his other stats because that could potentially
mess up all of his other fights, and that's something I'd instead not do because it would
cause more problems than help.
So, with this change, Magician's Red should join the high echelon of stands.
If I make enough of these videos, I might make
a tier list ranking everyone with changes.
But that's a plan for the future.
Hopefully, I'll see you all in the next one.
Until then, peace out and God speed.
