It's an open question: there is no right answer.

Comments:
The roleplaying was simple, so it wasn't bad, but it could be a bit better. Good for what the character was, but not all that exciting in terms of the fight from his viewpoint. But not much was happening other than fighting at mid range till the end of the fight.
Fighting wise, I expected a more intelligent fight considering the Feathertouch ability. I could see him wielding the sword on his back while he poked from a distance. Spears are very good for what they do, and he shouldn't have gotten in so easily as you made him do. Especially during the moment when he dodged and punched in to stab at your character's arm. You could have said NOPE, and kept the distance skirted and punished him for it. I just think this fight could have went better. Even if your character is being played as an inexperienced fighter, he's still fighting. But I can't get on you for keeping to that to begin with.
Also, don't use afterburn like that anymore. Afterburn is there specifically to allow someone to use an ability immediately then take the consequence of it after using said ability. You can't charge an afterburn in the same matter as a normal charge, and putting them together doesn't work in that situation. Afterburn is also more for people specifically putting it in their profiles so we can make sure it's used right with specifical abilities.

Well, the first thing to note is the Grease ability. We specifically got rid of it in the final profile. We allowed you to keep the "body grease" part of it, but the Spit ability was removed, so that put a -2 on Profile violation for your score. The kill is self explanatory.
Your roleplaying is still written very technical. Even when you threw flavor text into it, it almost felt artifical rather than natural. This is mostly because of the way you write. When I read your posts, it sounds like everything is so jagged and black and white. One moment it's like I'm reading a fighting instructional book. The next, there's something completely non technical thrown in before going back to being specific in explaining the fight movements piece by piece.
Why would your character switch to using a rapier against someone with a heavy weapon? It doesn't even matter if you're trying to take advantage of them using a more tactical reach weapon. A rapier is the worst weapon to use against someone with a larger weapon to begin with. You were better off at least with a blade similar in size to fight against it. It was only fortunate that KB was rping an actual kid with little fight experience cause only little kids would lose against a rapier with a superior weapon in their hands. You respected the attacks from your opponent well, but I still don't believe that your character, who committed to a diving punch from above using a boost ability to propel him further could quickly shift his left punch into a right cross. Then trying to "pull" its power when you already were shooting at him like a rocket is downright illogical.

Comments: What can I say about this fight other than that I wish it could've been in the semi finals or the finals. You two, prior to penalties, got the highest scores of the round from me. Near perfects. Of course you just had to go and ******** that up with the kill, though. From a logic standpoint, I don't really have any glaring issues. Your RP style is short and to the point, without ever having an issue of drying up. The bolding of words, however....I get what you were trying to do with it, drawing attention to critical details, but sometimes it felt random and distracting.
I was also expecting a somewhat different strategy from your character. Playing his his smaller/quicker figure to his advantage. Not that your strategy was wrong in any way, considering his skill set and...well the circumstances. Tres likely would've been KOed in a post or two, too. The other judge already covered any other concerns.

Comments: Same story as above, in that you scored way too high for this fight to be in the first round. I didn't dock you on the grease ability, as I didn't have any issues with it. Looking over your card, I'm sure you can see that the only reason you lost was because of the Killing Blow. It's unfortunate, but dem da rules. You have a solid knack for making sure that the fight stays as exciting as you can manage, willing to sell attacks and work with opponents. It allows for an easy read, though I do have a small suggestion. When you consistently refer back to your character, try to change up the wording a bit. Seeing Tres this, Tres that, Tres did this then Tres did that then Tres did this again get's tiresome. Referring to him as 'The Psion' and 'The People's Champion' and so on gives you a chance to change things up and possibly better describe him.
I love how Vin decided to dock me for an approved ability. And I don't know what he was talking about pulling my left punch into a right cross, he must have misread something or I mis-typed. Otherwise, great tips, gonna try to pay attention to the stuff you guys pointed out.

What is really funny is that he bashes you for using the rapier period, not the fact that you didn't know what to do with it.
Vin, using a particular weapon shouldn't dock points from tactics/logic, only the manner in which it is used, the reason being that our characters don't know ahead of time what the other is bringing, and aren't allowed to change kits accordingly.
Granted, Tres can turn his arm/sword into whatever, so there's that, but in general, I think simply going 'LOL WRONG WEAPON a*****e' is the wrong way to go.

I think the funny thing is. The spear the kid was using was only 4 feet long, that combined with his reach meant that his reach advantage was not nearly as significant as Vintrict made it out to seem.
That and he questions my tactics in using the rapier, which Sigil Warden pointed out that I did incorrectly.
Which I admit, likely I was using it incorrectly. Sigil Warden will have to show me how to correctly write about using a rapier.
However, the use of the rapier in of itself did not fail.
Bad Tactic maybe, but perhaps not as ineffective as I don't remember KB countering in the way Vintrict Hypothesized.

Yeah, I docked him for how he used it. Opponent swinging a large sword at him? Nah, I'll just lunge in and try to poke him. The only reason he got away with it was because his opponent was a little kid. Still, that wasn't the sole reason he got docked points, but it was a factor.

I will admit, I must work on melding my flavor with the information I'm giving to describe my actions better. Vintrict may be on to something when he pointed out that it read as back and forth between technical fighting manual and sonnet.
I'll try to put them together a little smoother next time, or even meld them entirely.

Tresondros Ecstuffuan lol. So I got docked for the possibility that what I did may not have worked? I judge based on the tactics of the fight and what counts as sensible. If you had used the rapier in a creative way that would have made me go "Ah, I get it," I wouldn't have thought it was bad. That's the only way you would have gotten a better score from me about it.
