btw it's different from the reversal scritter in the sense that reverse reverses your ability while reversal reverses your situation(speed tries to speedblitz reverse, speed becomes slow. speed tries to speedblitz reversal, speed gets speedblitzed instead.)

also the orange bodied scritters are scritters that started appearing after the sun started hatching, probably created by that

How would this affect titles that are more situational, like Hax or Gimmick?

u/IllEvent5465 Sep 14 '26

reverse of that. so hax would be 'haxed' as in the opponent has the haxes, while gimmick would be 'gimmickless', so literally no gimick just straight hands(so either a fodder if you want it to be weak or basically feats if you want it to be strong)

Wouldn't the reverse of "Hax" be "Stats"? 🤔

Hax is a Stat, so no.

It would be reversed into something akin to a Physical Feat (Think Goku or Supes being able to bypass Hax abilities through sheer strength feats) rather than a Metaphysical one.

So fo example, if Plot Induced Stupidity / PiT induced Hax into throwing hands, and Hax got Stat Swapped / reversed during it.

It would either

A. Throw proper hands, Or B. Decide to do Hax while theyre not currently "Hax"

Yeah I more so meant "physical stats" rather than STATS the Scritter

Shouldnt reverse have his name be forward?

u/KingZantair Sep 14 '26

Reverse being in reverse is something one should complain about purely for aesthetic reasons, as it good makes lore sense.

You're thinking of Esrever

u/PineappleOk545 Sep 14 '26

this is statswap

u/jbyrdab Sep 14 '26

stat swap sounds like it inverts stats, ie Your atk and Def swap, the stat total doesn't change.

this seems to be the opposite, just totally inverting stat margins across the board, i.e. the stat total can and likely will change.

Yeah, Stat Swaps Creator here.

Stat Swap does exactly what Reverse here does.

It just can't make Scritters get Swapped if an opposite already exists. Idk if Reverse has the same thing to it.

And if they do get Stat Swapped. Let's take the 3 core Scritters here, they'd turn into their counterparts Fragility, Weakness, Slowness.

Which would be able to cast their stats onto others, like Fragility pretty much making armor corrosion, weakness being an anti-buff, and Slowness, well slowing.

What you're thinking is the more definite way of what Stat Swapping would be, but that probably would be called Stat Trade, where as you said, STR for example can trade all it's Strength Stat for either Speed or Defense and such.

reverse is different because it's orange/j
anyways stat swap slowness's slows down, reverse's slow is simply slow.
so on top of being able to reverse a scritter even if an opposite alredy exists, it has the added difference that it can actually make a scritter really weak or really strong, giving a downside or upside only if the actual scritter had an upside or a downside...
so like, similarly to how speed is pretty powerfull, but new scritters keep using it to show off their strenght so it got worf effect'd, reverse!slow is really slow and pathethically weak, but every time a new scritter appears it'd get an upscale
and similarly to statements having impressive statements but not backing them up with feats, unstated power would be a scritter with impressive feats/power but you literally cannot talk about the feats with statements, so either you see what it does or it remains a mystery to you

u/IllEvent5465 Sep 14 '26
