Amazing editing, KK! This is one of the best full-scale edits I've ever seen, and it stands out as an excellent comparison between Vincent Lalo and Akiyama. KK will likely face a lot of scrutiny for his take in this edit, so I'll try to provide a concise explanation to support his claims. However, due to character limit set, those who want a more in-depth explanation or wish to engage in a debate with KK can add me on disc, where I'm more than willing to discuss in detail why Vincent Lalo would have a greater probability in outsmarting Akiyama. In this explanation I shall be using a framework similar to that of proven ability rather than narrative scaling as narrative scaling has a few drawbacks that could lead to inconsistency of results. Btw before we start I just wanted to let y'all know that I have Akiyama taking FRI over Lalo. Firstly lets go with FSIQ. Lalo's feats in Airpoker showcase his exceptional cpi (WMI + PSI). There are no feats in Liar Game that's close to air poker in cpi. What makes this an insane CPI feat is: 1. Memory Recall: Lalo needs to recall the 52 cards of a deck, their order, and their specific values. This demonstrates an impeccable short-term memory. 2. Complex Calculations: Lalo isn't just remembering cards, but he's formulating poker hands, which requires strategic thinking and mathematical proficiency. 3. Elimination and Updating: On top of recalling and formulating, he also needs to eliminate cards used in previous hands and update his calculations accordingly. This requires dynamic thinking and adaptability. 4.Time Constraint: Performing these cognitive tasks within seconds means Lalo's brain processes this information at a very high speed. 5. Stressful Environment: The added challenge of being submerged in water increases the difficulty of the task. The stress and potential lack of oxygen can hinder cognitive function, yet Lalo manages to think clearly and quickly. 6. Multitasking* While running these calculations, Lalo also needs to manage his physical state (e.g., breathing, dealing with the pressure and discomfort of being submerged), making the feat even more impressive. 7. Cognitive Flexibility: This feat shows that Lalo can rapidly shift between different types of cognitive tasks, from recall to calculation to strategy. 8. Outcome Prediction: In poker, you don't just think about the current hand but also potential future hands. Lalo's ability to predict and plan for multiple outcomes shows a high level of foresight and strategic thinking. Now for VSI Recognizing the ladder and making the connection to an upper floor showcases Lalo's spatial intelligence, allowing him to make connections based on the physical layout of the environment. Now for Overall EQ EE- Lalo’s multi-tasking in protopros nightmare. Converts and utilizes the emotions he felt from his crushing defeat, to simultaneously run three different stratagems to guarantee his chance to sit off for another battle with Baku madarame. Deliberately picked the stadium, as it is the most sound and optimal geographical location for locomotion. This shows his determination and preparedness. Decides to capitalize the information Fukurou gave him to weave a psychological strategy to manipulate referee Amen, and Arata, knowing the ramifications of confronting a group of bandits and provoking Arata himself. Utilizes his emotions to put forth a compelling act to manipulate both arata, and amen despite a knife being held close to his throat, and surrounded with armed men. Insane determination, and utilization of emotion, to simultaneously operate three varying strategies to guarantee his comeback, displayed here. EP- being able to perceive the deliberate aura, Baku emitted for a strategic purpose, and constructing a logical hypothesis to explain it. Impressive metacognition displayed throughout air poker. His acute analysis in the last round of Air poker, perceiving his own inner emotions, of trying to be able to be rational, and not make a mistake, decides to recall the intricate details of the previous rounds to construct a logical hypothesis, and deduce Baku’s landmine. His acute analysis of Baku’s action of revealing the poker law, constantly perceiving his emotions, and re analyzing the situation with a rational mind, completely inept of emotional leniency to remove bias.
2/2 Now moving onto strategies/planning and the manipulative techniques employed by Lalo. Before proceeding, I'll provide definitions to a few terminologies to give context to the situation: Sextant: a navigation tool used to measure the angle of between a celestial object (like a sun or star) and the horizon which allows sailors to figure out their position on Earth's surface, especially used if they are in sea or in areas without notable landmarks. Sight-reduction tables: set of pre-calculated tables or charts used by navigators to find their exact position by converting the angle of an object like a Sextant into coordinates in a map Vincent Lalo crafts a sextant to determine the angles and observation times of the suns and stars to compare it with sight-reduction tables in the outside world because advanced technologies like GPS are strictly forbidden during the ban match which meant he had to be innovative and resourceful. He notes down the angles and tells one of his allies, Robert K to compare it to a sight-reduction table in the real world in order for them to calculate Lalo's position. Vincent engineered this situation to get Robert K outside because he was initially inside the game by proposing a bet with Baku (the protagonist) to "exile an ally" then getting Robert exiled during that bet, allowing for communications between the two afterwards. He anticipated the developments of this bet hence why he successfully managed to get Robert K out. He planned this in advance to covertly manipulate Baku and Referee Ikon (a referee who was present in the Ban Match) by concealing his real intentions, making it seem like it was a disadvantaged to himself losing an ally. Lalo considered the possibility that a referee would escort and tail Robert K during his banishment so he made a contingency plan that exploits a "weak spot". That weak spot manifested because of tensions between the Kakerou referees and the developers of Protoporos. He made Robert K get successfully recruited by the developers which made it difficult for Kakerou to intervene in his strategy. This plan also allowed Robert K to gain access to the internet with protection from the developers and use the information from the sextant to calculate their position on the map to smuggle secret allies and communication devices in, preparing for the future and gain an advantage. This multi-layered strategy gave Vincent the ability to gain information on key players in the ban match which he could exploit in the future. However, Robert K was a mere misdirection tool in order to frame him as the messenger from the very beginning when in actuality, Lalo already had his own secret messenger as a returning player. He completely concealed the identities of his actual messenger by framing the attention of the deed to Robert K, his ally. He did this by indirectly informing Kakerou that Robert K's exile was to leak the location of Protoporos Island to the outside world using Baku and their proposed bet to raise that suspicion. A chain of events unfolded that led to Robert K being framed to leak the location of Protoporos Island but due to the fact that he was safe thanks to the developer team, it was a struggle to extract him out of there and prevent him from leaking the location. However, while they were busy with the decoy (Robert K), the actual messenger leaked the location to IDEAL. Why is this feat great? Aside from impeccable strategic thinking, it also displayed great understanding of emotions and the ability to manipulate social dynamics and groups to his favor: He expertly exploited the emotion of fear and anger to bait the referees away from a trap, using those primal emotions to "defend" the decoy, diverting their attention from the real messenger. He created a sense of urgency to reinforce his manipulations, allowing him to gain total control over both Kakerou and the Development Team in that situation as preparation for his real plan to defeat Baku in the ban match. By allowing allies inside, he could further his plans in the island using loyal and skilled people on his side, rather than relying on individuals with unknown abilities. Diving a little deeper into strategies I would like to explain one more feat. Vincent Lalo's ability to quickly adapt to his disadvantageous situation and devise two effective stratagems demonstrates his strong cognitive and strategic abilities. He recognizes the limitations of becoming the Kaiser on the 23rd and the impact of the Kaiser festival, prompting him to explore alternative ways to win the ban match. His first stratagem involves changing the game system of protopros through violence, aiming to extend the Kaiser crown until the 31st. By creating havoc and distortion on the protopros island, Lalo's allies infiltrate and operate according to his instructions. To divert Kakerou's attention, Lalo sets up decoys of his real allies and manipulates Kakerou into thinking they have eliminated them. This not only allows Lalo's allies to operate in a short amount of time but also weakens Kakerou's defense. Simultaneously, Lalo employs his second stratagem of capturing the King's candidates' vests and sabotaging Usogui's plan of becoming the Kaiser in one day. His ally, Torpes, coordinates his instructions and sends players affected by the food drought to target Usogui, Champ, and Ryuusei. By promising them food and care, Lalo forms insurgents to take down the candidates and misdirect Kakerou into believing he is not behind the insurgency. Lalo's maneuverings also involve acquiring Richard Arata's lvl. 100 vest. With the help of his ally, Fukurou, who has infiltrated the developers HQ, Lalo obtains confidential information about Arata's real intentions. Recognizing the possibility of Usogui's allies acquiring Arata's vest, Lalo quickly devises a scheme to eliminate Arata and secure the vest, hindering Usogui's Kaiser plan. To ensure he is not able to escape the island, Lalo is followed by Referee Amen, tasked with preventing him from evading his "life collection." Lalo crafts a stratagem where he tackles Usogui while using Referee Amen to take down Arata's force, allowing him to secure the vest. Manipulating Arata's trust, Lalo threatens him and acts defenseless, convincing Arata to load him onto his ship to ensure his silence. Referee Amen, observing this, purges Arata's allies, leaving Arata vulnerable for Lalo to kill and acquire the vest. Through his complex and manipulative psychological strategies, Lalo successfully acquires Richard Arata's lvl. 100 vest, hindering Usogui's Kaiser plan and eliminating the possibility of sabotage by Usogui's allies. Ultimately, Lalo forces Baku to accept a kakerou match for the Kaiser's throne, as his other stratagem of rewriting the game system is prevented by Hal's intervention. Overall, Vincent Lalo's maneuverings showcase his exceptional cognitive and strategic abilities, enabling him to navigate complex situations and exploit possibilities to his advantage. I could go on and on but I don't think I can do justice to Vincent Lalo in a yt comment. I will be linking Acce's doc on Lalo below. Please read it to gain further understanding of the character and his feats. It is a very well written doc and a good read. Anyways I hope y'all now can grasp to some extent what Vincent Lalo could do. And I believe with his feats and his diverse skill set and techniques he employs, he would be more than ready to counter Akiyama's strategies that primarily rely on logical reasoning and linear thinking. Lalo's more diverse methods in my opinion would get the better of Akiyama Shinchi in an outsmarting scenario.

NNN just started and bro already made me bust one with this edit. Thank you so much for this tournament KK, even though I disagree with the finale. I had fun watching every single part.
His editions are completely inspiring and motivate many people to persevere in making their own editions, in an encouraging and enthusiastic way. Quite simply, he is the king of WIS. In my opinion, he is the supreme editor 🐐
As usual, your edits are the most creative. I like every aspect of it. This is probably the most characters survived I have seen in a Tournament (5 at that. Its impressive.) F for Aki. He did his best. Liar Game was destined to lose from the start just by looking at the diffs throughout the Tournament. Even if you argue Aki beats Lalo, I doubt he'll beat Baku and Soichi.
The best full scale comparison I’ve ever seen. Even though I think aki takes it insane diff this quality is nothing short of awe inspiring. You my friend are simply one of a kind❤
This. Was. Amazing. Holy shit this is the definition of peak editing. My attention span shorter than ever just maximised while watching the edit. Akiyama loses, unfortunate. But who tf cares when you have this peak editing Kiyo, this is, without doubt one of the, if not the best edits you made. In general, I dont recall having seen a better edit than this. Incredible work, KK!!
Kk, I'm happy to see changes and improvements on ur edit. The 1 year journey on witnessing ur improvements were inspiring and awesome. Keep up the good work man and likewise, W edit 🗿🍷
good edition, the truth is that Lalo is one of the most underrated characters just for losing to Baku, and even in defeat he still remains a headache for Baku. In addition, Usogui's universe was always superior, in general, really good work.
Hey bro, could you play the Joker(Dc comics) against Usogui? Or against the manipulators? Following the same style of scale and "game-scale" that was done here.
Since this is the finals we know already that Akiyama is going to lose or Akiyama beats Lalo and kiyokouji puts in Baku vs Akiyama at the end (sort of like TSL’s DN vs DR finale) that would actually be a great plot twist
Lovely edit and I completely agree with the take. It's pretty funny how Baku or Souichi didn't have to eliminate Akiyama this just shows how OP the Usogui verse is.
Bet KK will downplay LG like he does most of the time. Would like to see an LG comeback though. My hopes are wavering on this but I'll hope for good results.
