Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dunno why Gaia wasn't letting me post this till now. Oh well.

The way you guys run the tournament. Combo attacks. Obviously, it is good for one to feed into another and depending upon the time frame, there can be time to counter it. This is question is in to the ruling of post count versus timing.

Say I get in a open palm strike on Kraun ( yeah freckin' right this ain't happening xd ) in my first post. In his first post, he posts his 'recovery' part and counterattack/defend part ( please go with this ).

In my second post, I 'interrupt his' to do a combo based on the success of the open palm strike. Of course, depending upon the next strike, it could take 'long' or be 'quick'. I decide to use the palm strike success to do a 'extremely quick' finger thrust poke strike thing at ( I don't know what it is called. Alignment is like a katar weapon only the 'endpoint' / fingers are going for his throat ) his throat.

The source position is from the open palm strike landing. So it wouldn't be 'as effective' as from a normal stance. However, the question is in regards of timing versus post count.

Time-wise, it 'can be seen' as likened to a 'response' to an ( opponent's ) striker assist that isn't counted towards post count.

My question is does it count as 'my second post' towards to the post limit while his 'reaction post to the poke strike' counts as his 'second post' to his limit?

Forgive me. I am half-asleep right now. I tried to phrase everything the best I can. Grammar/etc. was my worst class. More of a Math person.

i was kinda following until you mentioned a striker, a striker you never indicated happening in the palm->counter->interrupt/combo you just described.

you palm strike [1]

he recovers, counters [1]

you interrupt his counter, move into combo [2]

so i guess the answer is... it's his first in the count.

A post is a post. You can do things like follow-up attacks and reactions in posts, but they still always count as one in 17. People ******** that up with strikers by posting out of order and then somehow one of the fighters is two posts ahead because someone decided to ignore post order.
