Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

All Niki said is that poma MAs dont have one shot moves to level cities right? That they could level a hill at best or something like that.

Tbh when i read the Yichen flashback when he kills all the dragons, i imagined it as him going sukuna furnace on the entirety of the dragon 'city'. Like completely vaporizing a big radius around him. One shot move essentially. I imagine most shangtains dont have a skill set that has a highly destructive aoe move.

Still, destructive fights are very entertaining and adds atmopshere. I think its part of the reason why a lot of poma fights are so bland because there's simply no enviroinment. Like most fights are in arenas or desolate areas. In AC, two of the biggest fights we have are on an island with forest, mountains, volcanic mountains and a shoreline with a big castle, houses where the scope of the MC's and other powerful characters powers can be seen. Niki could have done this bit during the free for all but we barely damage any property. The only things getting destroyed are flesh and bones.

Nicky is, at least in my view, terrible at creating and describing settings. I swear, in Aura Clash I can sort of visualise each location where a scene takes place (and, unlike POMA, I don’t play it often), because Anon does a phenomenal job there. But with POMA, most of the time I’m not even sure where the MC is; in the free-for-all, for example, I’m not sure if it’s set in a town, a forest, an open field or a combination of these; I don’t know if the Arena is colosseum-style, if it’s round, if it’s square, if it’s a gigantic place or if it’s only a few dozen metres across; I don’t know what the MC’s house is like; I’m not even sure what the sect itself looks like, all I know is that it’s at the top of one or more peaks. Not to say that Nicky didn’t describe it at all, just that if he did, it’s completely forgettable.

Jokes aside, Nicky own inconsistencies are funny sometimes. Like, literally one update after his Sukuna's MS > Shangtian thing, the Tamer of Hills straight up says he wiped a mountain to collect the Earthly Fire.

3 years ago? That's been retconned to the high heavens at this point, absurd power creeping is average Niki behaviour. I mean at that point, Niki was more into a Wuxia Story instead of a Xianxia. I honestly just take the game as canon, Niki statements don't mean sh*t to me anymore.

Nah actually niki follows the xianxia levels pretty clearly this has been the level for years for a reason a Ns doesn't destroy a mountain and that's what niki follows even realms beyond NS have little shot to no shot on destroying a mountain people might think niki just changes stuff but some of the core stuff he always keeps he is pretty adamant about it poma isn't weak if anything it's exactly how it should be if anything slightly on the higher end lol.

Clearly you haven't read Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect where a strong qi-refining cultivator is large island level and Nascent Soul Cultivators are Multiversal+ (Peak Cultivation Story btw)

To be fair you don't need to be mountain level to destroy a mountain since for example even if you are only large building level given enough time you can still wreck a small city

Yes, but that far surpasses anything in JJK anyway. I say this as a JJK fan myself, the resulting destruction of the battle of the two strongest beings in JJK is, at most, city level. And they are far, far above anyone else in this aspect with the exceptions of Dabura, Yuki and, maybe, Yuji.
Meanwhile a battle between Shangtians is a geographical change event(Said by Niki himself if I'm not mistaken).

As someone here pointed before, an Celestial-level Shangtian(Wu Jia/MG/DQ level) can part a sea. Wouldn't find absurd for Prime Yichen, who's comparable to the Tang Celestial, to destroy a mountain himself.
An E-X level bomb(High ball) can already wipe an whole jungle/forest. Physically an Xiantian is supposed to lift weights far above those of a small-hill... I could cite others examples but I dislike this type of power-scaling overall.

Wind Celestial spitting the southern seas we can't say how impressive it is since we don't know how big the southern sea is. Niki adding that statement was also during the time that Niki still thought that nukes can destroy mountains before people made Niki realized that it isn't true and he downgraded S to hill level
 
Its best to almost never take niki's words seriously. Im just going to trust my gut and what he writes in story. I feel any fight long enough between two Shangtains is capable of destroying cities. As i said, Yichen seems to have wiped out an entire city worth of area to kill all the dragons in the mountains with his flames. We read about DQ wiping out villages and cities, and Wu clan completely if we become her 'son'. Niki is just bad at writing destruction and setting the atmosphere for fights. The free for all and the expo were the biggest fights we were part of in large areas with a lot of destructable enviroinment, yet we read of nothing being destroyed. There's the fact that nobody past NS level strength can stay in poma, that the world is too weak to handle it. We've heard that Yan has wiped out entire world population to eradicate 'evil' during her crusades for the moon goddess. Power scaling is just exponential imo. I imagine after Xiantain, the power levels will grow very destructive. One shot spells is not the determinant of absolute strength.

Amen to that. Only what’s in the game matters. Neither Nicky’s casual statements nor the Q&As count for anything: the former are just the ramblings of a man who’s sleep-deprived and has eaten some spoiled chicken; the latter are just characters whose malice, contempt, and ignorance have been pushed to the extreme.

Understandable, Man's probably dreading the day he might be drafted into the army and ****ed off into Donbas. Maybe then he might get some insights into enviroinmental destruction...


Was this too much? I feel like i said too much.

It’s all right, I think it’s just within the bounds of the rules. There are no direct insults towards the author, just some irony about the situation in his country, presented as a joke. At most, a questionable comment, but not definitely disrespectful, and, given your previous posts, certainly not malicious.

You know you said something crazy when it felt funny while writing it, but the moment you click post you go " Oh ****" and immediately start panic damage control.

The most ridiculous thing about your statement is the fact that it's truth. I mean what kind of idiot would trust anything Niki says, man is a pathological liar.
