I'm feeling a bit frustrated. I really don't understand how Tsubaki's Semblance is Aura bypass. I even gave a canon example right in the section:

"Only the pain, though people with their Aura unlocked won't feel it for long, because they have Aura (make note that Reese  did  feel the pain of falling on the ice after failing an acrobatic jump in  Round One, despite having Aura left, but then seemed perfectly fine a little later)."

I don't understand how that doesn't clear things up. Amet mentioned Aura bypass and forcing a weakness onto an opponent, so I used my knowledge of canon events to change/elaborate. And I kinda feel like you totally missed it. Though, I suppose it would help if I changed "for long" to "for a few moments" or something. And maybe change "because they have Aura" to "because they have their Aura unlocked". Right?

Now, if it still doesn't work, I could use a little advice to figure out how it could work. And no, I AM NOT completely overhauling it. Her Semblance is kinda a huge part of her character, you know? I change it, and I'll feel like I have to redo everything (or, at the very least, I'll be very confused on what to do with her) which I don't want to do, because this is exactly how I envisioned Tsubaki in the first place - I wanted a Semblance that conflicted with her desire to keep people from feeling the pain she felt, making her conflicted about using it, etc, etc. *frowns* I should probably mention that, now that I think about it - or did I already do that? Eh, whatever. I'll check later. Anyway, am I making sense here?

I do have a few ideas, mind you (like, having her be a part of the link no matter what - as in, the link has to include herself, period) but I wanted a reviewer's advice (and also to point out the canon example I gave). Personally, I think the problem is that reviewers are treating it like it's exactly Meredy's magic, and you can't do that. They are not the same thing - the same concept, but not exactly the same. Now, I may be wrong, but that's my interpretation (especially after I read Amet read up on Meredy).

... Well, I hope I don't sound like a whiny baby, here. XD (I'm also not very used to asking for help, so sorry if this sounds weird, or wrong, or something.) Anyway, I'll most likely be back in... *checks time* ... about... 9-10 hours, so it'd be nice if I get an answer by that time. But, I understand if you can't. :) Jade out.
