Fate Series [Fate/Stay Night UBW First Press LE BD Box I]
darkjedi:
I had hoped the Assassins would have put up more of a fight against the Ionian Hetairoi at least. They were a complete let down.
Havoc10K:
What did you expect ? they were at a complete disadvantage.
darkjedi:
They should still have fought for the sake of viewer's pleasure who like to enjoy great battle scenes. What soldiers do when there is no hope of escaping is fighting to the death, usually performing beyond the normally expected limitations of their combat capabilities. The Assassins here didn't even try to fight.
What was Assassin's Noble Phantasm anyway? Just splitting into many parts? Should have been granted some limited resurrection abilities or something. That would have made him/her a more serious adversary than a bunch of sorry ass sidekicks.
Havoc10K:
This isn't the same assassin from Fate Stay/Night (Heavens Feel). Their ability is is not splitting apart but being many.
All of them had daggers, tell me how you fight with a dagger against spears and shields, also the ratio was completely against them, around 30-40 vs several hundreds, This isn't Yukimura Sanada who won 13k vs 50k.
Assassin class skills are ambush and stealth, they couldn't do anything, and they had nowhere to run. They had to lose.
darkjedi:
Lol, who said these Assassins should be the same as the Assassin in FSN, or as capable?
Each of these Assassins was a physical manifestation of the one whole Assassin's split personalities and specialized skills. But it's a very minor choice of words issue, really, and not very relevant.
The Assassins should have fought for the sole reason that it would have made the battle scene more action-packed and fun to watch. It doesn't matter if they are nonetheless going to get minced into bits in the end. Just make it fun.
