"Overconfidence is the root cause of failure"
Danica relies too much on her ocular powers leaving herself open to many easy strategies to defeat her(hence why MC defeated her with a simple bait and switch)...
Michael on the other hand had to rely on his human side for the longest time and with that he became a good strategist and knows his body capabilities too well(shown in his battle with Deryl), he could easily use cover tactics and devise a method to distract or even simply blind Danica like throwing rock debree dust at high speed wich would render Danica power useless to defend against since she doesn't have the eye speed to destroy billions of rock particles...
Danica is far from being OP, she's too overconfident.
You would have a point if any of this actually applied to current Danica. She's been thoroughly humbled by the MC and you can tell from her behavior this update. Just because Michael can't overcome her in a head to head fight doesn't mean I'm saying "she's the strongest in game". It's like some of you purposely ignore what I said about Tiffany being too fast for her.
You're all making up every single excuse and scenario to where Michael has the advantage and everything goes his way instead just admitting that Danica one shots him. It's actually pretty telling when you automatically think that he's in an area that benefits him and his fighting style. Like we're really to the point where you're basically saying Michael will throw dirt in Danica's eyes as if all of her power requires her eyes. You forgot her Kryq don't work via eye sight and that he still wouldn't be able to penetrate them as they act autonomously to defend her.
Now, let's ask you the real questions. What if there's no covers for Michael to hide behind, then what? What about if it's an arena made entirely of metal? What if it's a direct encounter? If Michael is so capable of beating Danica why are you guys trying so hard to build scenarios where she's purposely at a disadvantage? I'm sure you notice how I don't have to set up some elaborate backdrop for them to fight in while you guys are twisting and turning to give Michael the high ground.
Danica isn't "overconfident" it's more like Michael stans think he can overcome every scenario that they create in his favor because he can prep and is good at strategies. When the truth is, Michael loses, badly, because he's a Level 2 fighting a Level 3, with much greater stats and the ability to one shot him with her X Mark. It's shouldn't be that hard for some of you to admit something this simple but for some reason you guys refuse to say it.
Everyone else is fine with Michael losing because they know the context of Level 3 having an advantage on him. They accept it and move on because they know, just like myself, that Michael at Level 3 would stomp Danica. There's no gap, so he wins in a head to head confrontation. So does Alice. See, I don't have a problem saying this but you guys can't accept that Level 2 Michael loses because of established rules within the game and the fact that Dani can oneshot him.
