Well first off, reading the fight again, I'm immediately drawn in again by how disturbed I am by Athena.
"Ehw, Vintrict's trying to roleplay as what he thinks is a milf," I mutter to myself with bile in my throat. I vomit. "Ahg. The ******** did he get these quotes from, Metal Gear Solid? I'MA BIG MAMA."
The more I read, the more I vomit. My cat walks by. His name's Michael Angelo. I bury him in vomit. "Good going OutlawD and Vintrict, you buried my cat in vomit." I say out loud, scrolling.

An issue doesn't mean an argument as far as im speaking. I will say though I did intend on putting detail in at some point in there, but it seems that it would as well be obvious that over the time and distance she had to cross would have been the time he set the barrier especially since I mentioned him standing with a poker face...meaning a trick was coming and I did explain what it hit and Hong would be able to come to the conclusion IC wise. If you agree with what I said then you agree with my post. Some details may have missed but the post was rather long and detailed to keep up with and I was as well at work, but I take fault if I missed details through it....but that is clarified with a simple question or request for explanation which I would have given as I have....now as for that being the reason for Vin trying to cop his way out of it thats another story, I think he just cant stand being caught in it and taking a hit. The flair is just flair and the what if actions just made it even worse because it was walked into. Bojuka reads cheesy because he is a caricature he's supposed to be that way. And you must take into account the omote renge clip is an anime clip and thus anime hyped up

And a hammer swing is not hard to block at all so thats a far reaching example.
Then it's like Jello said. Where do you indicate the prep work needed to generate the barrier?
I don't think it's being a douche to point out there wasn't much mention of that, so it does effectively look like "If I think about blocking it, the shield appears and I block it."
Sure, she charged, but you could make the same argument that because they are both fighting he has plenty of time to generate the barrier because he knows at some point she will try to hit him. He did not know exactly where she intended to strike until she made that strike, and at that point she would be in melee range obviously. So, in essence, you're still saying that as soon as she swings the hammer, he knows where it will hit (fine) and can just "think" up the barrier there. At least as far as it looks in your posts. What's to say he can't keep doing that for any swing at any part of his body?
Besides all that, my issue is with the negligible amount it takes to block a blow from a hammer. I mean, warhammers are made to pretty much say "lolblockthis." It's not meant to be hard to block because outright blocking is usually the WRONG choice unless you have superpowers. If you hit a shield with the hammer you could still break the arm. If you strike a chestplate you could probably still crack some ribs. s**t like that.
Blocking it with an extra-strong shield would not even be so bad because at least it require some motion on your part, moving your shield-arm to meet the attack, thus tying it up instead of allowing you to launch an attack with it in the same time as blocking.

I need to finish up my post.
Have fun arguing the futility of your actions.
It's not like you stand a chance in Hell in winning, Outlaw.

Yall really must not read the stuff that Vin is posting.... so I missed a detail in it but i foreshadowed s**t wasnt that way at least and used the appropriate point scale for it too. I had multiple versions of the post going on and other s**t as well.
Ox I dont really care what your thought is on the point scale, using that much of my bad to block a single strike is enough cause oh wait everybody essentially has something that can called a superpower here so super powered things happen....dun dum duuuuun
There were details I put in missed during the reading process for whatever reason but s**t happens. The probability of my posts being able to be done are high.

I'll add that the absurdity and power creep is just as much Vin's fault.
Athena reached behind her, removing a white colored warhammer with blue lining. The handle of it was three feet long. The head on the end of it was a bit hefty, seeming to look like it could bash the side of a car door in with one swing. It was about three times the size of a sledgehammer's head, and a lot more harmful. Weapons like this were wielded by the champions of Nordic legend, men of strength and status in their community. It was only natural Athena took up this as her main weapon of choice. Her power preceded her.
So she's got one of those very impractical fantasy-style warhammers--and I don't say impractical solely from the fact that it would weigh a ********, because we'll get to that. I mean he mentions a sledgehammer and a sledge-type weapon can only do one thing: bash. Bash really hard, sure, but that's all. Whereas a real warhammer had a pick on the other end that could be used to puncture, hook, trap. Anyway... the point is that regardless, this thing has a lot of mass behind it and that's one part of the equation. The other is speed...
And two: the swinging speed of this weapon made it seem like it weighed less than ten pounds. In fact, her swinging speed was hardly altered. He might as well be fighting a lighter weapon such as a shortsword. Athena's strength came from both her bodily fitness and the power that flowed through her body, which magnified her human strength. Suddenly, a ten pound hammer was no longer a problem to attack with, making the weapon a huge threat to D.
My whole point is that he's taking all the benefits of a massive warhammer (unstoppable force, power) and negating all the flaws (momentum, basic inertia, any strain on the user).
Now add to this that as a two-handed weapon the warhammer has plenty of reach to spare. This gives him plenty of leverage.
Also I dunno where he's getting ten pounds from if that's what he's insisting the thing weighs.

Wish my fight progressed, but with the huge extension its mainly up to the combatants to dictate that time. Waiting days for a post is not fun, but in the other news; anyone doing some good ol drinking for Saint Patty's day?

If you agree with what I said then you agree with my post. Some details may have missed but the post was rather long and detailed to keep up with and I was as well at work, but I take fault if I missed details through it....
I'm sorry but no, if I agree with the way you've described the ability in the OOC it does not mean that I agree with your post.
Example: Your character is attacking mine. My post includes (exactly in these words) "He evaded the attack and started his counter" and then goes on for 4-5 paragraphs to describe what my attack is.
Evading the attack is perfectly possible. I just didn't describe how it happened other than mentioning that it did, in fact, happen.
Are you going to have an issue with this? I can describe you in 4 paragraphs in the OOC exactly how I evaded the attack, but in my post it is literally four words: "he evaded the attack".

I pretty much didn't get a fight until right near the original deadline, passed out for a week, came to here again and found out there was fight time.
