Hybrid Theory
Re: Hybrid Theory

Quote:
you run up against the harsh fact that in Ranma 1/2, no human being can throw chi blasts. They have sort of projectiles, but they're balls of air held together by emotion chi (and can't go very far), or vacuum blades that require immense powering up
Are we reading the same Ranma?
The Shishi Houkoudan and Mouko Takabisha aren't exactly weak attacks, and I see no reason not to classify them as ki blasts--"ki" means air as well as spirit, you know, and the whole tradition started with the idea that a Shaolin monk could throw a punch that rang a bell across the room with air pressure alone.
And the Perfect S-H is almost incomprehensibly more powerful than anything any Street Fighter character has ever done--Ryouga created a ki-ball that looked to be over THREE HUNDRED YARDS ACROSS, leveling a huge tract of forest and leaving him virtually unharmed (if very tired) in the center of the blast crater. (Manga, Musk arc.) This verges on DBZ power levels.
As for the kamaitachi--Ryuu and, especially, Keema can throw them around with ease. I don't understand what "massive power-up" you're talking about here.
(As a side note, in Guyver canon Archanfel hardly controlled the world prior to X-day--Kronos had spent years infiltrating Zoanoids near positions of power, and had kidnapped and secretly processed many people (including the Prime Minister of Japan!) without their knowledge, but until the big moment came they kept quiet. (Only in the OAVs did they have the power to, say, brainwash everyone at Sho's school in a single night, and that just made no sense at all.)
