I'm glad I didn't decide to enter. I still would have spent countless hours redoing Red's profile, which would have been annoying in such a time crunch, but there are only a couple enjoyable fights happening.

I would have gotten stuck with...Ertai or Hank.

Example: Astral Mirror creates a psycrystal sword that he fights with for 2 posts, then he throws the sword at his opponent and molds his arm into a warhammer. The next post the (90% chance of) dodged sword is caught by the copy-Tres on the other side, and they both rush in for a slow-motion cutscene X-slash self-insert tag-team combo attack.


lol Thats awesome.

Tres's limitations would prevent him from pulling it off though but I see what you are saying. I mentioned to Savoki about how really the toolset can simply be used in a different manner. Though I noted in the fight that the kit incentivized certain behavior over others.

I don't feel the kit incentives my strength's in terms of what people think I do best. People seem to like reading about Tres doing big flashy moves. So maybe, if not this tournament then the next event I enter, I change it up by having the kit reward those things.

For example, in the fight, the power bomb was successful, but because of the limitations of the character, the intended purpose of the astral mirror for my gimmick was creating hard-core pro-wrestling spots...Tables, Ladders, Chairs, etc...for his impact throws, such as Suplex's. The power that augments impact throws, cannot be used in tandem with astral mirror. Tres can only use 1 power per post, which is why that table spot didn't happen.

So maybe instead of having the astral mirror be a power that can create anything, I go instead for something more limited in utility but more applicable for the intended purpose. Maybe go with the protoplasm idea, where Tres has a set of ruby crystals that can transform into 1 of 6 pre-determined shapes. Then, I create an augmentation for Seismic core, that expends one of those ruby crystals as an augmentation, to set up a table to put someone through at the time the technique is performed.

Then maybe I exchange the Astral Striker deal, for an item where, once every six post, instead of being able to summon a HOH style striker, he can cover his body in a spider silk like weave of ectoplasm that hardens his skin, but slows down his mobility by slowing long ranges of motion. This would serve the purpose of helping Tres close the distance with an advantage, but instead by giving him a brief increase of durability.

I dunno, might fit the playstyle better is all...then again, like you said, what I have is fine.

exactly... I can grapple, have a decent knowledge pool on the subject but I don't want to MMA with someone.. I would much rather strike since I understand that the best having boxed and practiced southern style kung-fu.

It's what I relate to easiest so I build all my character around that core.

Jello is right though... you can still make the kit you have currently do what you want to do. Maybe without all the power behind it but you can compensate for with reinforcing the constructs you put them through. Ei making harder table or tables with needle beds. DDT into a crystal stairs... or a standing sledgehammer.

True but Tres's kit is too limited to do exactly that.

He can forgo doing those throwing techniques with augmented ability to create a construct while performing the impact throw with simple physical technique. The constructs he can make in said situation have to be extremely simple though. He couldn't make tables chairs, or anything that complex in such a short span of time, as much he could create a simple floating flat panel that he could put the opponent through, which is fine....

If somewhat less aesthetically pleasing. Most of all that writing under astral mirror description is stuff he cant do with it lol

Darius would do other things if he defeated Jay Silver, he is a malicious a*****e like that. If both of us lose there always a bar brawl in the hotel, with drinking afterwards.

Edit: I be down for a pure boxing fight with Heita.

But.. Heita!!! Why you no let me beat up peoples? ;;

Also I think Darius would have a hard tome doing anything to Jay. xD She might just use her touch where he doesn't want it.

If you fight Athena...

Grappling's inevitable. I wish Bojuka posted already.

I would be willing to have a Catch style wrestling match with someone.

That would be fun.

Why were you pussyfooting with out-fighting? That is not the Ectsuffuan way. Mom taught you better.

You use that dreaded touch and I ensure you he will try to tear your throat out xD.

Heita: I have some real life experience via amateur boxing, thus it should be a fun little battle should that occur.

How? In the exact example I used, you have a formed astral construct blade that is already in play. You use Astral Striker to create a copy, which has no associated cost but a 6 post cooldown. You don't pay a cost for transforming your left arm into a weapon.

If you're limited to 1 point per post, even if you have to pay 1 point to maintain the blade once you throw it you are still within your cost limitations.
