An unOrdinary Instinct

(A/N) - Changes and Info on Ultra Instinct

Yo! Koala-san here with some an announcement. I'm making some changes in the Ultra Instinct ability. Also informing you on some things to hopefully help you understand more.

One change was the Potential and Mastery of UI. I changed the Potential from 8 to 8.5. Meaning that if someone had the mastery of 10. The ability level overall would be 8.5 instead of 8.0. The mastery would lower because the potential is higher.

Now, what was the reason for this change? Because a couple of people and mostly I, for one, thought UI was too weak. So a tiny buff wouldn't hurt our protagonist-san. Even though he's like the third strongest character currently in statistics so far in the entire story. Just behind Seraphina and John. He already beat Arlo. Unless someone else is stronger then all of them...

Here's a photo of the current Level, mastery, and potential which was remodified. Now originally the Mastery was 9 but now it went down to an 8.5. Potential x Mastery divided by 10 equals the level. This does NOT change the CURRENT level and/or stats too much but it DOES affect future stats heavily.

Now, what does changing the potential do? It gives more points for stats. For every level you have you get 5 points for stats on the chart. 7.2 x 5 = 36. I spread out the stats to equal 36. So because of the extra 0.5 level, UI gains an additional 2.5 stats when omen is fully mastered. Not bad, eh?

It's honestly not a big difference.

The main thing that is changing is where I'm putting the stats. Stats have a major role for abilities. Obviously.

Let me use UI omen Offensive mode as an example. Now originally I was going to have all the stats go into everything except for Defense. But now, I'm going to add some stats to Defense in the offensive mode. Vice versa with Defensive form.

"B-but author-sama! Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of UI omen Offense and Defense?"

Sort of. Ultra Instinct Omen/Sign (Same thing) is an INCOMPLETE version of a Completed UI or Mastered Ultra Instinct. Whatever you call it. There are a lot of names for it.

What do I mean by incomplete, you ask? Ultra Instinct, in layman's terms, is an ability that allows the user to fight without thinking. It is an ultimate technique that separates the consciousness from the body, allowing it to move and FIGHT independent of the fighter's THOUGHTS and EMOTIONS.

UI sign is incomplete. This is why I separated it into two types. Offense and Defense. Attacking and defending is part of FIGHTING.

Goku's UI OMEN allowed him the ability to react, dodge, and defend without the interference of his thoughts, but he cannot attack effectively in the same way as defending in omen. I'm pretty sure there is an opposite of Goku's UI omen.

Changing where I put the stats DOES NOT CHANGE how Ultra Instinct works. Let's say if I put 10 stats into power for Defensive omen mode, which I'm not. He'd have more power, a lot actually, but it doesn't change the fact that he still has to THINK about ATTACKING. It's just a buff. Nothing changes how it works.

That being said. Changing the speed DOES affect how fast he dodges and attacks.

"But if the reader can use both Offensive and Defensive separately why can't he use it together?"

Because he doesn't have enough mastery to combine the two. It takes a huge toll on his mind to do so. Not to mention the amount of energy it requires to even sustain UI omen.

I think that's everything. If you have questions please feel free to comment and I will try to answer them as best as I can. I feel like I forgot something but it's whatever.

(EDIT) This is what I forgot to mention

In chapter 6, I mentioned that he was training to suppress his ability level by suppressing his aura. Now, doing this makes him weaker. So why does he do it then? Let me first say that the Omen stage of Ultra Instinct is highly unstable. Therefore, maintaining Omen requires an egregious level of stamina to sustain it for long. He can use the ability for 10 minutes. But that's only sustaining it when he's doing nothing. Can you imagine the strain on his body and mind when he's trying to sustain it AND focus on fighting at the same time? His stamina would deplete much faster than when he was doing nothing at all. For one who has not trained enough with Ultra Instinct, the forcible instinctive movements of the body in combat exact a terrible toll.

So by suppressing his ability, he lowers the amount of stress and stamina drain on his body when using the ability. The more he suppresses his ability, the longer he can sustain the ability. It's almost the same concept as Super Saiyan Full Power with extra steps.

Also, by doing this is it increases his mastery and control of the ability. Eventually, he will able to fight without any stamina depletion or stress on his body. But he'd have to master the ability to the highest degree. It's also a stepping stone towards Mastered Ultra Instinct. Does this make sense?

This might be confusing, but work with me people!

That's it for now. See you later! :D

Extras!

My plan before was to add a power stressing ability for UI Defense omen. It's kind of like Super Saiyan Grade 2 and 3. Actually, I think there was something about power housing omen in the Moro arc. 

(EDIT) I may use it. It just depends on how I feel
