Welcome to Gaia! ::

The use of Flicker Step was intended side to side between 2-3 feet each. The only detail that confirms this error was the 5ft forward. Only reason that unlike the spar from myself and Maika (in which I've specifically and fairly described how it did take a large strain to my character), this one was rather overused in Saint's part, thus forcing me to try and rethink the strategy. I find it remarkably unrealistic as to how many balas and ceros Saint was able to fire. As such, it seems that regardless of his rank, there is no specified limit to his energy balas or ceros whereas shinigami's can't even peroform as many kidos in the same amount. True, I misread the the limited length that Solider flicker step is able to reach. Though my post still stands. I would only change the description of length.

As for the eye, I did not find that description to be anywhere near relevant to add in my profile. But even if I did, I would have most likely edited little information since yes, it indeed does hold some relevance to the character's background. But I digress. The accusation that has been implied upon my character's single eye is once again still invalid. Even Stark, the Primera Espada, who had release his resurrection and had something covering his eye also possessed sharp senses around him and was not the barbarian type. Regardless of either 3 of those characters, they still possessed sharp senses despite whatever blocked off of their vision.

Now unlike most of the ex captains (which my character originally used to be in the past), I don't go boasting how Zalian used to be one or claim that he's as powerful as a captain. However, that does not mean that despite anyone being of any lower rank should exclude many possibilities of defeating a higher leveled person. So long as one uses their wits and plan things accordingly, then even a solider can defeat a captain. I should know because when I was a captain, I've always encouraged all lower ranks that even they can defeat a captain like myself. That being said, I always fought fairly and was realistic with my moves towards my fellow opponents. I can even say I've been defeated by a few lieutenants, officers and soldiers as a captain.

Again, the fact that my character wears a mask that covers one eye does not and SHOULD not limit his ability to calculate and time his movements against any and all balas. You forget that aside from visually perceiving attacks, there are other senses that shinigami rely on in battle, such as sensing the spiritual energy that approaches them or is elsewhere. And of course hearing the attacks approaching is also still a useful attribute that Zalian would rely on to act strategically and accordingly. As described in some of his posts. He did not dodge all of them but others he decided to collide his blade against a few of the balas, change and redirect their trajectory. While as you claim this was attempted without a single scratch, you overlooked the attempt of when he was heading up to Val'gun. As described, I made up for the dodging of the balas by having my character just barely making it through the gaps of ceros (which again seemed overused and exceeded beyond his own limitations. I don't care if he did create a typhoon. Wind does not manipulate energy, nor enhance it to the point of multiplying it into several ceros. That was once again another error on Saint's part but I was willing to work my way around it since I'm sure he didn't know any better). In doing so, he risked burning both his left and right arms. Not too much but was still quite an effective injury. Again, when using the impact of the explosion to help gain more speed toward Val'gun, my character once again risked hurting his back in exchange for that.

Overall, these risks, which were specifically described in the post, were meant as compensation. In other words, they were to make up for not having received damage from the earlier balas. That, in itself, showed that I still played in fairness towards Saint's posts, respecting his character's attacks despite them being overused and repetitive. As for his Heirro, that is a bit conflicting and contradicting to what you've stated. The Hechizo ability is provided in the main hall via the Hexagonal Rules section, for everyone to examine and understand how it is used. Again, Saint exceeded the density of his heirro by describing it as a captain's level. Whether my character knew about it or not was not the case of the situation. As described many times before, my character weighs options, theories, and possible course of actions to take. Zalian knew that the fact that Val'gun had TAKEN ON the balas confirmed to Zalian that Val'gun must have used something to accept the attacks without forming any blocks or dodges.

As a result to that confirmation, Zalian once again theorized possible actions that Val'gun may have taken, thus allowing Zalian to strategically plan out multiple course of actions of his own. And as expected, Val'gun did indeed reacted just as Zalian thought he would. Perhaps not EXACTLY as he expected since he shot multiple ceros (like I said before, that was definitely overused) but still decided to see his plan through. These are preemptive strategies very few individuals are capable of and as such are not considered an act of "predicting" of any sort. It's a matter of weighing out options and possible moves against the opponent before it happens. In other words, putting together a strategy beforehand and in case the scenario changes you have other solutions already via preemptively planned out. That being said, when my character slashed down at his shoulder, he did not exclude the fact that his skin could possibly be enhanced. To be more specific, if Zalian would not be able to cut Val'gun, then he had planned to use that against him by using the shielded skin to halt HIMSELF (meaning Zalian) from flipping and his momentum of speed that was aiming towards him. Therefore, by stopping completely, this would immediately execuate Zalian's alternative plan to kick off Val'gun's bala. And as described again, in one of the posts, Zalian was beginning to understand the pattern in Val'gun's overused ability of ceros and balas.

Overall, I will stand corrected to some degree of what you've claimed on "auto-hit". That was my mistake and I should have described the attempt more thoroughly rather than trying to rush my post with a quick instant physical contact without the opponent's consent. However, given the fact that Saint made his character STILL anticipate Zalian's approach was a bit far-fetched when I had already specifically described how my character used both his environment and Val'gun's attack to help push him further to the point of piercing through his sense of Pesquisa. This error, in Saint's part, alone forced me to rethink my way around this continuous godmod via over-usage of balas and ceros without having to complain about it. I did not wanted to ruin our spar because of his mistakes, let alone ruin the mood and the intensity of it. As far as I'm concerned, it seemed as though the both of us felt that our battle was just fine. And I respected his character's moves regardless of them being exceedingly overpowering and straining to him as well.

Finally, as for the pillar, I will once again stand corrected. But only to some degree of what you have pointed out. Indeed you are correct, Sho should not have been powerful enough to propel the pillar into the air. Due to the fact that I have not been a soldier for years since I first joined this guild back in the day, I forgot how some kidos are not as effective as the higher ones. But again, as stated many times before, since Saint's constant godmoding was leaving me with little to no options, I had to strategically rethink my way around it all, thus forced to attempt minor cross of boundaries. But, it seems you've also once again overlooked some description as to what my character was doing. While Val'gun was plotting behind the thick debris, and since Zalian was beginning to find his constant use of balas and ceros via understanding his pattern, he took the time to let Val'gun charge his cero while Zalian walked behind a pillar. Now you may not have caught it, which in this case in what you've stated, it does not appear that you have, but what Zalian was slashing his sword at was the bottom part of the pillar in half, thus allowing it to be pushed off easier without overusing strength. By kicking the bottom of it forward, the top part of the pillar would result in falling toward HIS direction. Once using the "incorrect" kido (again, I admit I stand corrected of), he immediately timed that exact spell, right after, to flicker step a jump towards the pillar before it would take off, thus allowing him to latch on it with a quick stab of his Zanpakutou.

All in all, these errors are minor and to some degree, I stand corrected to. HOWEVER, I still find the fact that whoever pointed out the one eye flaw is still absurd. Of all the things to n** pick, this anonymous person had to be THIS specific with this minor form of appearance to then comparing it to battle?! It's insulting and if I didn't know any better, I'd say this anonymous person feels overwhelmed and intimidated by how I've been posting. Of all the people that CONSTANTLY commit more than one godmoding every once in a while (which mind you, I've read quite a few myself) in all the spars, why does mine have to be considered a larger issue than the others? Again, if you read the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraph of my message, I have already justified how my character wearing a mask is still efficient in battle and that such a thing should not hinder his attributes or senses. It sounds to me that this anonymous person just wants to handicap me even further. It's demeaning and discouraging to both myself and the character that I play. I'm even more surprised that Arrancars are provided with so much without limitations to them while shinigami's are limited to the point that only kido spells will do them any good and will only last for as long as they are limited to the number of use. But as for Arrancars, they seem to have ceros, balas and other such powerful abilities without specified limitations to them like kidos have.

Bottom line, I WILL NOT render my character to a visual handicap just because he's wearing a mask to cover one eye. Again, of all the things to n** pick, that has to be one of THE MOST insignificant, invalid, and unacceptable flaw I have ever seen someone point out in my life. Never before have I had anyone make a complaint over something as minor as this. That might as well be saying my character is unfit for battle because of such a thing. Again, I refuse to limit my character to a visually handicapped fighter. And I'm sorry if this anonymous individual does not like my decision. I'm at least still being fair in my battles and I continue to show respect to my opponent's moves. Any and every other minor erros that I make in my posts I acknowledge and respect to some degree. But I also defend some aspects of my character's intentions and what has been misread.
