Welcome to Gaia! ::

Then all that's left is for me to ask if you have a learning disability. Because from what I've seen... and I say this specifically because I did not read your fight but I read the posts in the judge thread and the complaints posted in here... you're not adapting at all.

Movement A is "too complicated to explain well" so this means that there are 3 options: 1) everyone except you is retarded, 2) you can't explain it well, or 3) it is an inherently bad-sounding statement to make. Considering that 1 is not true simply because if you're just too smart to explain it well to stupid people there would have to be at least one person in all of this who agrees with your point and it doesn't seem that there is... and considering that 3 is not true because you claim to be using Aikido movements that you've done several times yourself (and I can likely guarantee that you are in nowhere near as good shape as your RPC)... then the answer has to be 2.

Has to be.

Now where is the problem with this? It lies in the fact that you are using complicated actions in your post that you are not explaining well enough to actually make it sound like it would work. Obviously, the two best ways to handle this situation would be to either explain it better or to use less complex maneuvers. After all, doesn't almost every form of martial arts teach that the wasted movements are unnecessary and the smallest, straightest technique is usually the most perfected?

No. Instead you chose option 3: to complain that no one understands what you're writing and that everyone hates you.

I don't want to.

Stop trying to make me.

I like Aikido. I really do. But it's one of the (visually) most unrealistic forms of martial arts because it involves movements where a man is thrown dramatically to one side from a twist of the hand. Why? Because Aikido in practice (not to be read as in-practice) is PRO WRESTLING. You sell the hit because you don't want to injure yourself.

The first thing you learn in Aikido is how to take a fall. That's because when you're sparring and practicing moves on each other if you actually fight the pressure being applied you could seriously injure yourself by wrenching your wrist or elbow or shoulder in a bad direction.

Every demonstration video of Aikido I've ever seen involves the 'victims' of techniques jumping or falling into the throw and then rolling away in an instant to reset. You don't see them trying to hold their stance and NOT get thrown by it because applying force against force causes strain which causes damage.

Aikido looks fake because Aikido is the pro wrestling of martial arts. Your opponent was Collossus from the X-Men, large and with metal skin. I doubt she was going to leap into your arm-twist throw. So accept that and choose another path.

Won't be the same without mah friends and Rectum. Yeah, I need Rectum. Mostly him.

Though, after reading the thread, why does your PD have Genesis equipment? They were a seperate entity.

Good question. I kept it as "Exceptional equipment." It's equipment only used when there's like an extreme case of emergency. For example, going against stuff not of the norm, and a lot of stuff is considered normal in Gaia. I suppose if a demon from the eight circle of hell suddenly came, we would definitely use stuff like the Temporal equipment.

A lot of aikido techniques don't involve throws, but are submission holds. Some work well against weak and flexible opponents, but others, like Nikyo, work amazingly well against very strong opponents.

So basically, i'm in a strange tight rope. While there's material in my profile that allows me to succeed at what i'm attempting to do, if it's acknowledged, I can get disqualified for being too powerful. This leaves me in a terrible limbo, where I have to ask how the judges are going to interpret my profile, like Gypsies with a Tarot deck.

But you really have to ask, does it make sense that a character should be disqualified if the only way they can succeed at what they are trying to do is to have X?

What the ******** people?
