Dodging: the act of avoidance.
Lol. That does refer to Starlight, right?
That kind of checks out actually.
(Not that she’s really a coward, lol)
Edited
It’s a skill she learned by running away from/avoiding her problems.
Yep. Chrysalis blames her losses on the heroes “cheating,” when she’s orchestrated her own defeat numerous times, by keeping her back turned at a critical moment in her debut, to how she just didn’t bother in S6 to kidnap and replace Starlight, which started a chain of events that caused her demise.
With a being like her, she cannot for the life of her take responsibility for her failures. Her ego pathologically prevents it.
Chrysalis cannot win a fight without surprise and/or a power advantage on her part (both of which were the case with Celestia in S2). She’s never learned much finesse in her fighting, because she’s just used to brute forcing her way past opponents, and she’s never felt the need to change that.
Chrysalis cannot teleport herself, and she’s never used a shield to help her in a fight either, which are serious disadvantages against more skilled opponents like Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Starlight, if they’re not getting taken down by a cheap shot due to luck.
Starlight has always been rather good at dodging. (Special note goes to that last one)
Edited
Chrysalis got into an impromptu fight with Mean Twilight in “The Mean 6”. A fight she would’ve lost had the Tree of Harmony not dealt with The Mean 6.
I would lean more toward this, since Chrysalis has only ever been successful in a head-to-head confrontation once, and it was because of the love she had sapped from Shining Armor. Her only other battles have been when the odds are tipped in her favor to an extreme degree (in one of the alternate timelines, and in the Season 6 Finale). Since her head-to-head battle against Celestia in the S2 Finale, she’s never fought any other character until she faced Starlight in the S9 Finale.
Couple with Chrysalis’ arrogance and lack of good judgement, it only makes sense that a more level-headed and experienced fighter, like Starlight, would be able to beat her through strategy if not through pure magical strength. I think that was Starlight’s intention for the most part, if we’re analyzing this to any degree, to anger Chrysalis so that she starts making mistakes and then take advantage of those mistakes when they present themselves. Especially since Chrysalis never seems to learn from her past mistakes anyway.
Chrysalis is just a vastly inferior warrior, and it’s not just in comparison to Starlight.
Poor writing.
Starlight’s a smarter fighter. Most of what she did was rapid-fire teleportation to evade. She never actually directly blasted Chrysalis like she did Discord, whom I bet a few viewers wanted her to blast again after his in-character, but utterly boneheaded, scheme.
I would want a longer Gim vs Chrysalis battle. But Chrysalis in her 2nd form she had more power than Glim. Starlight needed more strategy maybe.
@Darth Shy
She was diffidently a highlight
Edited
Fair enough. Still, she wasn’t having trouble with her and even taunted her twice, and could’ve won if she hadn’t let her guard down.
Really I don’t know if how that brief fight makes Starlight look overpowered that she can take on a more powerful version of the former Queen of the Changelings while only being a unicorn herself, or if it makes Chrysalis look like a terrible/predictable fighter, or both.
Edited
Didn’t you watch A Matter of Principals?
Not really. She was mostly running from Chrysalis during the fight, and she couldn’t really hurt her.
I know i can’t explain just watch the episode and you will understand
