And yeah I'd have to argue that Rock Lee could dodge an arrow. In the Naruto verse people are super human. Although a normal human perhaps could not these guys coud.
Technically speaking, anyone can dodge an arrow if you're at certain distance away from the archer and
what am about to say does not involve the use of chakra, but only physical training.People need to understand that Shinobi ≠ Superman. I wouldn't even compare them to 'Super Soldier' honestly because Super Soldier have certain enhancements/drugs in them. I would compare them to professional athletes because they train hard to push their body to the outmost limit. From Naruto Wikia, "Shinobi have noticeably more physical capabilities than a
normal human being." >.>
Also, watching Mythbusters putting some these 'ninja myths' to the test was interesting to watch.
The arrow segment is near the end.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2mp94bFor example, you can train all day for many years, you will reach a plateau that you can never surpass. For example, it is theorize that a human can run as fast as 17.88 meters per second. Although the fastest record actually held is 10 meters per second.
But with the arrow example, what about those people who say that their heightened reactions (being a ninja) allow them to dodge them? Even something near-lightspeed can be dodged when you're a ninja. Do numbers really matter in that instance? Let's say you're face-to-face with someone and blow yourself up? Does it really matter if the explosion has a 100 feet or 100 km radius? Either way, no one SHOULD be able to dodge it...But people still will. That's why I feel that if I'm playing with someone that uses numbers (no matter how silly/arbitrary their numbers might be) then I'll use numbers too.
Again, being a ninja doesn't mean you're Superman.
If something is near-lightspeed (which there isn't), you cannot dodge it. The fastest jutsu is FTG and I don't even think that's near-lightspeed.
Well the explosion is not instant. Even Deidara needed some time to blow himself up so you would still have time to escape. >.>
The numbers I use are realistic. I do research. These are not random numbers pulled out of the dirt. But of course, there are people that will use ridiculous numbers and you would have no choice but to match their ridiculousness. However, I would comment/pm the person about it afterwards and continue the RP. Like taking a jutsu that is seen to cover a certain range and then extend that range to a huge amount. Unless you're in Sage Mode, I feel that's uncalled for. >.>
At the end of the day, if you carefully strategize what you feel to be a perfect attack (that may or may not bring certain death to an opponent) that should be undodgeable and your opponent went to EXTREME lengths to dodge it, then that means the opponent will most likely dodge everything else you will throw regardless.
Granted that, the opponent have dodged all of your previous attacks up to that point. I can live with the opponent taking a hit that may or may not be critical but to dodge the attack entirely, I would just stop the match. No point continuing. =/
