Rock Lee in Sunnydale

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2004-07-23 12:24am

I haven't seen that much Buffy, I just thought it would be funny throwing the somewhat goofy Lee and his haircut in with Buffy and co, say near the start of the first season. The sake of the argument's flow he can speak english.

So how do things change with the Fuzzy Eyebrows present?

WHat can he do?

Well unlike most Ninja he is completely incapable of doing Ninjutsu or Genjutsu (illusion) techniques. So in order to survive as a ninja he's had to develop his hand-to-hand techniquesto an insane degree. He's superhumanly fast and strong and that's with his weights on (I have no clue what they're made of but when he took them off and dropped them they made a crater in the floor and shook the entire building).

He's extremely quick to, I could probably provide a clip but I don't have enough space to host it.

In addition to that he can open 5 of the eight celestial gates, and basically turn off all his brain's limiters on how much of his potential strength he can use as well as supercharging himself to an even more insane degree (of course since the limiters are off it makes he can't stay in it for long without shredding his own muscles)

Really, really strong and really, really fast. That basically sums him up.

And the eyebrows.. the eyebrows!

That and I want to see Buffy dodging the ol' flying hearts ^_^

I also forgot to mention his complete and utter lack of any sort of alcohol tolerance (where he can get staggering drunk off just a little drink.. of course he's apperantly a natural user of drunken boxing and a very angry-smashy drunk but..

)

How.. Utterly and uselessly vague.

He can move so fast that the DBZ-type ninjas in Naruto can't track his movements.

So somewhere between 20 MPH to 20,000?

Seriously my friend's RX-8 is very fast...but is not a Porsche. Give some reference beside DBZ ninja type since that just means in that world he's pretty quick.

If I remember his fight with Gaara correctly, his upper limit for speed (After opening 5 of the 8 heavenly gates) should be around the speed of sound.

Strong: The weights he was wearing on his legs at the start of his fight with Gaara were sufficiently heavy that when he dropped them they made a crater in the floor and shook the entire room (and it was a big room)

Fast:

It's slower than it is on video but it's the best I can do at the moment.

Lee Clips

Could a mod nuke that gif for me? I managed to piece together a file that shouldn't eat up too much of my bandwidth.

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2004-07-23 10:57pm

Cursed lack of edit button clips are-

1.) Lee drops his weights
2&3) Lee speed sans weights
4.) Lee dash and kick with the gates open (supercharged)
5.) Lee using Gaara as a ping-pong ball mid-air (note he can't fly, he's rebounding off the floor, cieling, and walls to get into position for the next smack so he's going damn fast)
6.) Primary Lotus final blow

Only way to be more cruel is to set 5 sound nin free on Sunnydale. Now that would be fun.

Rock lee kicks ass....

As uber as the buffy gang, they are still limited by live action TV series sfx budgets.

Exonerate · Post by **Exonerate** » 2004-08-01 07:21pm

Well, if somebody is willing to host images, I have screencaps of Rock Lee circling Gaara (Frame by frame)

^Which is this sites.

Setzer · Post by **Setzer** » 2004-08-02 04:40pm

Holy shit, dude. With speed like that, I'd think even Glory would get her ass kicked. Buffy, et al, doesn't standa chance.

Exonerate · Post by **Exonerate** » 2004-08-02 04:41pm

Ok... 56k alert coming up.

That's the arena, to give a reference to the size. Rock Lee is standing on top of it.

That's when the weights dropped.

Rock Lee's speed: This is with initial Lotus, first frame.

Second frame.

Third frame.

3 frames later

Bird's eye view of the size of the circles he was running around Gaara.

Setzer · Post by **Setzer** » 2004-08-02 04:50pm

Yeah, I saw the clips. Hence the "Holy shit".

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2004-08-02 09:38pm

Would the holy shit be prompted by the first couple clips or the last couple regarding speed?

Setzer · Post by **Setzer** » 2004-08-03 10:23am

Seeing him hit Gaara prompted the "Holy Shit"
If Rock Lee ambushed Buffy, she could be dead before she realized she'd been attacked.

Maybe this should be posted in the FAQ:

In terms of power:

Anime>Live Action TV Series.

So far all I see is wankery about how kickass Rock is. I do not doubt that he would uterly own just about everything in the Buffyverse. No, I doubt what the hell he would bring to the party emotionaly and metaphorically.

In the Buffyverse, those are what REALLY matter, not how good one is in a fight. The Kung-Fu is secondary to the Emotional Quotient.

Which begs the question, how does he handle Emotional Stress?

Then there's the metaphoric part--which...well...Rocks appearance would not be a good thing. that's all I'll say on that.
