Actually, her spree of destruction across France will turn the French Resistance
against her, after all, she's blowing up factories full of FRENCHMEN.

Is she SMART enough? This is a 10 year old we're talking about, not a
l33t counterintelligence expert

She was smart enough to put an entire CITY to sleep once when she had to fight a demon. Good enough for ya, Shep?

Oh, yes, Shep, they know about her. Somehow, they figured it out while the Germans didn't.

And the country bumpkin is not going to relate the story why?

I mean I can see the bumpkin not telling the nazis but said person is going to keep silent a secret like this why again?

I see someone is in bad need of a history lesson. The entire economy of
france was geared towards providing materiel towards the Nazi Occupiers,
from truck factories to small factories cranking out steel helmets....

She has the problem of they only need her to make one mistake...she needs them to be stupid a million times.

What, some country bumpkin is going to see Sakura stroll through the forest and realize "Of course! That's the reason all the weird things are happening!"

Somebody sees her a few moments before she sleeps everybody. He's immediatly going to realize that girl is the cause of all this, and not the cat some other guy saw.

Assuming they can see in the Dark.

So let's streach our imagination and say that they somehow manege to come to the conclusion that Sakura is the one causing all this, and they dispatch Super L33T Shock Troops throughout Europe to track her down. All the things I mensioned earlier about avoiding being caught?

And say that she DOES manege to get caught. The troops will still have to deal with her Guardian Beasts long enough for her to summon her power and deal with the situation. Unless they happen to stumble upon her with a full division of tanks, bombers in the air overhead, and artilery that happened to be trained on her position, it still doesn't look good for them.

I see someone is in bad need of LEARNING THE POINT OF THAT POST! HOW COULD THE FRENCH UNDERGROUND REALIZE IT'S HER AND HATE HER? UNDERSTAND NOW, SHEP?!

*ahem*

It all comes down to whether your country bumpkin loves or hates the Axis, doesn't it? Assuming all the stuff Yogi said:

is actually true. Which it's not.

As a side note, more of a nitpick, Sakura is more than capable of reducing a factory to rubble without killing anyone inside. Since factories will not be her main target, this is more of a niggling detail.

This is stupid. Pitting someone with near omnipotent powers up against a primitive(by our standards) nation is absurd.

See if Sakura can take on a Principality warforce. Then I'll believe she's powerful.

and a hearty fuck you, too!

and since Shep didn't reply to the fact that Sakura can and will put a city to sleep to cover herself: Concession Accepted.

As yet another detail, Sakura can simply Mist an area. No immediate effect (except for, of course, the mist) the anything in it will be get corroded.

I'm unsure why you insist on fucking people. I'm basically agreeing with you, but I find the entire premise a bit ridicolous.

Haven't you seen the 'Why are you going to hell?' thread? I'm a pervert.

WTF? From a certain point of view, ALL these vs. threads are ridiculous. Think about it.

Well, obviously. However, pitting a near-godlike character vs a 1940's nation is a slight bit of a mismatch.

Speaking of mismatch, I'm still waiting for Sakura vs the Principality.

I'm still waiting for one person besides you to say they've actually rad the comic or whatever containing the Principality of Zan. (and I still think it sounds like a ripoff of the Zeon name)

And you won't, unless Sea Skimmer walks over to my house or something. So you won't know if I'm pulling it out of my ass or keeping it consistant, but it works both ways because I've never even heard of anyone named 'Sakura'.

Of course, I've mentioned Zan multiple times on the boards, so I'll have to keep my claims logically self-consistant, and you can trust me, can't you?

Ever hear of 'CardCaptors'? That's the US-dubbed name of the show.

I dunno, can I?

I think I saw an episode before they took it off the air. After seeing some freaky talking puppet and a ten-year-old boy dressed up like some wannabe Yojimbo, I changed the channel and watched Justice League.

I dunno, can I?

Yes.

*cough*

WARPSHIELDS! BWAHAHAHAH!

So can someone explain to me the point of this thread? Why don't I just make a Culture versus Alexander the Great scenario ....

Yogi · Post by **Yogi** » 2002-12-12 04:34pm

Well we did manege to argue against some people who thought Sakura would win. Some ignorance was dispelled, so it really wasn't a waste of time.

Sakura uses magic!! SHE HAS MORE POWER THAN CLOW REED!!! so saying that Sakura will magically do something is PERFECTLY VALID.

Besides, she won't be making any cultural exchanges since she doesn't even speak the language (see first post).

How the Fuck is she going to avoid suspicion if she doesn't even speak French or German?

You COULD have read my previous posts, but I'll be nice and tell it to you.

She simply stays away from all the towns and cities.

Simple, no?

Yogi · Post by **Yogi** » 2002-12-14 02:38pm

Amendment to above: Except when she comes to town to clean German clock, in which case she comes in a cloud of darkness, and sleeps everyone first.

Plus, as said before, Kero should be able to pick up on the language as well.

Although I wonder if using the Voice could also help.
