Yes it will activate automatically. It like the description states it cannot be stopped. Now if SSBC was like tier 2-B or something then this would be a NLF since it doesn't effect those far stronger than the user. Plus Chase could also stop SSBC in time making the match pretty inconclusive. So R1 is either Chase wins via Existence Eraser or Inconclusive.

Also now that I think about it why isn't R1 equalized in speed like you did for R2 since at this part in the story Chase and the others are only in the Sextillions? They don't hit Octillions til the next arc.
