1) Listen. I don't want to have another 'Weaponless Combat/Blunt Force weapon' discussion.

2) ...And if you haven't noticed, Semblances allow the user to do something that people can't do, such as go at superhuman speeds. So are you saying that an effect of a Semblance has to follow the basic laws of how the human body works? 

3) And it comes out like an energy wave expanding equally (unless otherwise constrained by the user) before dissapating at a very specific distance.

4, 5, 5.2, 6) Skip, though I could go into these on a message wall or something if you really want... 1) Well, you're safe, because the only thing we were talking about involving weaponless combat was the idea of Aura Beams, like Blake's Blade Beams, to which you said "Ok. Fine. Whatever".

2) No, because a Semblance has nothing to do with Anatomy in the slightest unless it specifically does.

Super Speed does not defy the "basic laws of how the human body works",Ruby simply moves fast. Humans can move, even run, by using their 2 legs (by default; they can also use their hands, or go in all 4). Ruby is not doing something humans cannot do with their bodies, because she's still using her legs to move.

The only thing to note is that super speed involves great speeds humans cannot normally achieve. But that is not "defying how the human body works", that's simply defying the limits of human capability.

3) Alright, that's more clear

4) The main problem I had was your argument and your logic, which were over-generalizing, and quite frankly, stupid.

Regardless of any dislike you had or did not have for Semblance-Reflecting/Negating Semblances, your arguments overgeneralized things as if all of them were most definitely like that.

And the logic you gave ("if they can have it on, why not have it always on?") does not really support your argument in any way, and applies to many Semblances, not only the ones you were talking about.

Now if you want to skip it again, then do not try to discuss it on my wall. There's no point in talking to those who don't listen.
