Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order]

i do think it's a mistake to leave behind jackie, but given they don't know where they're dropping in, a powerhouse rider servant is the more useful choice, and it's not like they can't just switch out later. but when capes are involved, the perpetual wild card is nothing to overlook, since jackie is a speedster that can turn basically invisible, can't have any details remembered about them, can trap people in basically a reality marble and has a really potent anti-female curse np. in this singularity specifically? that's really useful.
Counterpoint, if younger Taylor is actually here, we don't need Jackie attacking anyone that even looks funny at her younger-mommy.
 
what's the difference between a Brute and a Striker if they've both got superstrength anyway?
what has taylor been telling them? jeez, while brutes probably have like a hidden striker and mover rating, strikers tends to be for melee focused powers specifically, like summoning swords, having claws, inducing cancer at a touch, being able to empower an object etc. they should not be hearing 'super strength' and think striker.

i do wonder if taylor taught them the rhyme tho, lmao
"Mover, Shaker,
Brute and Breaker.

Master, Tinker,
Blaster and Thinker,

Striker, Changer,
Trump and Stranger."

I think, genuinely, at first it might be an issue, but after like the first encounter jackie will decide that young taylor is not the same as her mommy, probably after taylor actually explains the situation.

A Striker with the ability to empower punches is the same level of super strength essentially as a Brute, so I can understand not understanding when being first introduced to the paradigm.

yeah, but that's only a misunderstanding that happens from poor explanations, it's fairly easy to just say 'striker is melee powers, blaster is ranged powers, shaker is area of effect, brute is body empowerment/survivability' etc. and that it is possible to be more than one category at once, knowing that striker is just any melee focused power and that a power can be two categories at once explains it entirely

While a few people are pointing out the EX Rank, I would like to just quickly remind people that EX is not above A Rank. EX simply means that it doesn't follow typical classification rules. And with Earth Bet likely not being a proper part of human history, but still needed to ensure Scion's death and the safety of humanity across other realities easily means it's far harder to properly rank.

Also: Taylor also has firsthand experience with why having a dangerous, hard to detect person on your side is really nice.
 
Who's to say this is even a fight that happened in canon Worm? Considering this is a Singularity, there really isn't a reason for a canon event to be happening here when the timeline already diverged.

thank you
again, we don't know where it diverged or how far they landed off-course

don't forget, even in the canon timeline the Master of Chaldea drops into the middle of a battlefield between the augmented forces of the Americans and the Celts. we could still end up with them in Brockton Bay, i'm not discounting that, but all we know is that they're dropping into the middle of a battle
considering America is presumably at war right now that could mean anything
 
Crack theory, Edison pseudo-servant Armsmaster with lion themed armor.
That would be sort of a contradiction. Armsy's thing is individual efficiency. Dragon merged with Edison fits better. Naturally a dragon armour loudly announcing herself as Presi-king works great.

Especially if it renders her immune to Saint.

I'm envisioning Dragon using her typical voice to spout every line Edison does in the singularity.

Well, just so long as he doesn't pull something as asinine as calling himself Presi-King again...
America was founded in the rejection of the absolute and unaccountable power of a King, and in our over 200 years of history never have we had a President truly and unironically call himself King or had a populace willing to accept such cond... nevermind.

There is so much wrong with Presiking Dragedison that I'm just going to say she's Canadian and call it a day.

I have stitches in my toe from yesterday, am in a wholely disproportionate amount of pain, and anything that gets me even mildly active (like forum silliness) raises my blood pressure making it hurt worse. And I have work tomorrow, lovely. Why does all the fun happen when I'm miserable?

For one,y condolences about you injury. For another, I'm English, so I find Presi-King Edison hilarious. As for Dragon being Canadian on top of everything else, let me point out that warlords and conquerors exist.

Also, it being wrong is the entire point.
 
then I wasn't even going to give him the chance to beg.
Why put conditions on that? Just nuke his half of the city before killing any and all Nazis that survive. No mercy, Godzilla Threshold is unlocked till there is no more Hitler.

Alternatively there's CIA agent Hitler or maybe it'll be Hitler the Successful Painter or maybe it's Hitler the Hotdog Vendor? Hitler was just a figurehead, it's his Party that gave him power...as History is showing yet again...

The only answer to Hitler lead Nazis is always "Nuke Hitler". There is no inbetween. You either nuke Hitler or you are one of his cultists.

A bit sad that we can't have Taylor introduce Jackie to the Othersiders. Really would have liked to see those reactions.
Also sad that we can't force Piggot to deal with Nero.

Personally, given that this one has been brewing since almost the start, I'm expecting something completely out of the left field.
But staying in the box with what we know, well the next singularity got Hijacked by the eventual big bad and had a completely different initial setup, no? Canon American singularity in all it's poorly written glory, except Brockton Bay got dropped in the middle of it and now the Celts have to deal with random soldiers suddenly triggering, while the forces of Earth Bet are trying to figure out what the fuck's going on.
And interference from an unrelated timeline followed by a prasitic alien invasion would probably qualify for 'EX' on it's own, I think.
Just having the Shards there would derail history something fierce.
 
Kind of surprised they aren't taking Jackie. A lot of problems on bet can be resolved by a quiet knife in the back. Given the situation I would have taken Jackie for local threats, Emiya for overall utility, and a heavy hitter in case of endbringer.
Granted, not bringing Jackie also makes sense if Taylor doesn't want her to be a murder machine. Shame that we won't get to see Jackie the Ripper vs. Jack Slash.
 
Also I might have missed something but to those saying they're sad they didn't bring Jackie because of how strong she'd be, don't they still have the Shadow Servant system? It's not like they can't call on Jackie when a Stranger's touch is needed. The ones brought immediately are ones that they think are going to be needed the whole time.
