The "one Hadoken per day" rule is due to limited MP. Apparently, BM only has one level-9 MP, so after he uses his Hadoken once, he has to rest at an Inn or in a House (NES) or Cottage (Origins/DOS). But maybe you knew that already. <_< >_>

But yes, the paradox does still apply.

Well, the daily limit of Hadokens are gone.

However, the concept of a "day" might be different. That's gotta count for something. Maybe they're currently egoscopic projections of themselves. (Lich arc/BM in hell? Remember?)

Actually, they could all do the hadoken. You see, each BM is 'fractured' out of time as it is, so while they may be able to see into their 'future' the BMs are all different BMs, in different points of the space-time continuum. So they could all do a hadoken together.

I just noticed that for some of the sprites, Fighter's mouth is open.

Have we ever seen that before?

(Note: The following post contains my thoughts, not absolute facts. Do not assume this is an absolute fact or spoken with much authority.)
Warlock -
The fourth axis is apparently skewed into a visible dimension. Black Mage is still moving along it, and he has to pass an amount of "space" on that axis. Okay, this is going to be hard to explain. I've done a lot of thinking on axes (plural of axis, not ax) the last few months, so this makes sense in my head.

WARNING: Mental muses from an incomprehensible mind ahead. Skyshot M'rnai and the Nuklear Power Forums take no responsibility for brain tumors, headaches, and head explosions resulting from reading the following information.

Time is accepted as the fourth dimension, alongside the X, Y, and Z axes we learned about in algebra classes. Now, in #531 BM (along with the others) moves along the axis in an almost sideways and diagonal fashion. He doesn't percieve it, but it's there.

Thus, he's still moving through time, just in a different manner. And remember his "I wonder why I'm saying 'Oh'?" line? He moved into the BM that was saying "Oh," it was him all along. Therefore, assuming he's still slowed down by fleshy meats, he still gets one Hadoken. That's all.

RickZarber-
Nope. Even in Sky Warrior KC's sprites, he doesn't open his mouth. Only in the animations. (Note: I could be mistaken.)

[Sesshoumaru]

Did anyone else notice that in the upper left hand corner of the last frame, there appears to be a new fighter sprite (bring it on pose, but with the other hand pointing instead of facing down)?

Ofcourse there's SOMETHING for them to destroy, you forget.. there is no such thing as "empty" space. The immature neutrons and atoms that make up our exsistance are still apparent even in the most empty of bodies..

Therfor a spell such as the Hadoken would create a super nova like effect on this dimension's weak gravitational pull causing it to temporarly "break" thus creating a wormhole in which the light-warriors could go through. Assuming ofcourse it takes them home and not leave them in some alternate form of time where dinosaurs ruled the Earth or even worse.. mecha.. (I really.. REALLY.. hate mecha.. :bmage: )

Or sense White Mage also happens to be in a very simaler state right now, well.. not RIGHT NOW as she's the reason there is life and being.. but menh, somehow it'll connect..

[BetaRuler]

god some of these messages are getting to nerdy! lol, all these stupid theories can make ones head ache allot if they try too hard, lets just wait and find out what COMMANDO red mage plans to do with them is best for us or our heads will explode from the endless theories of what would happen to all these BMs and their hadokens

[Kikuichimonji]

They're supposed to be between dimensions - i.e. the endless black void of absolutely nothing. While noone would be able to survive in this because there is no air, we're overlooking this because being outside of time and space is cool enough to do that. They're not in a three-dimensional plane - they're nowhere, in the most complete definition of the word. There's no gravity because there's nothing to be attracted to.

Where white mage was is different - she was in a dimension, albeit an empty one.

[Trixbeat]

According to the physics of the last two episodes, the only thing to attack are the boundaries of the comic frame and themselves. Since destroying the frame requires impossible skills, I believe the latter is going to happen. I suspect all the BM's allying together and creating a LW war.
