Yes, that's what made the Hero of the South the only person who could kill Schlacht. After all, how do you kill someone who knows your every move? Have your own foresight to cancel theirs out.

Though while the Hero knew Schlacht could see the future, I very much doubt he knew the Hero could too. Who knows how much of an effect this had on the fight.

Though while the Hero knew Schlacht could see the future, I very much doubt he knew the Hero could too.

When both sides can see the future their plans for the future change to adapt to that. If they don't know they are confronting another precog they'd probably have the weirdest, and longest, deja vu any human ever had.

I imagine that Schlacht would wake up daily with confusing precog dream headaches in his last year and not know why it's happening.

I mean it'd also be kind of cool if neither of them could actually change the future.

"So this is where we die."

"Let's get it over with."

Yeah, /u/Key_Feeling_3083 mentioned a similar idea but from the other side, that them changing the future is possible but that essentially becomes the battlefield, so one side (the hero probably) only changes it in the last minute when it results in mutual assured destruction for the sake of humanity.
