Slash Zinrai But, by all means, continue as you are! You are exploiting the weakness of a character that was put there intentionally...It's balance at it's finest! Carry on... Pip, pip! Its still early in the fight. You want this to be different then make it different. Your character is being pulled into mine. Face to face. All you got to do is throw the punch. Then I'll throw one back.

Hehe Vinny. I'm not 'getting involved' just stating my opinion.
And yuss!!! After an hour of being put on hold and talking to three different people I got $90 refunded onto my net bill.
I am awesome. emotion_dealwithit
Now to go and make a reply to my 'Supercoolfunashell' fight. Because you know, it is supposed to be a fun hobby.

You know damn well when it comes to boxing, I'm probably more savvy than you ever will be. Feints and stuff are obvious. You don't have to always write them in your posts, but it helps with the logistics. However, from Heita's case, he is referring generally to attacking, which hardly follows that rule. If I perform a jab that has the strength of a truck hit, in his eyes, it shouldn't be as powerful. But it is because my character probably has some ability or power that makes it so. He can't refute that. He can't go "well, it's a jab so it's not that powerful..." No, I just said it was. Then he'll whine about it not being balanced. But balance is in the eyes of the beholder because he won't care for the consequences or what was done to have that kind of ability be available to a fighter. To him, he's looking at the fight move by move, never the overall picture cause he'll be the first person to go crying to the judge about foul play. Also, the rest of your post was bait, but I give you a cookie for trying.

Also your definition of Kiting is off. Kiting would mean I was trying to keep my distance. Which at no point in this fight have I tried to do. Sure, when you are at long range, I do something long range. First Round of Post: My character moves in to close the distance, Your character stands still and taunts. Second Round: My character throws something at him, as he continues to close the distance. Third Round: Your character dodges the throw, I use his dodge to set up the striker. While still closing the distance. Fourth Round: Your character dodges the striker, I use the second dodge to set up a following hand to hand attack. Fifth Round: your character dodges the hand to hand attack, taking only what he needs to build his meter and extends the distance...again. Sixth Round: My character tries to close the distance by pulling him close. At no point in this fight did I kite. Kiting is the act of using long range while maintaining distance. You maintained distance. The word you are looking for is Zoning. I am zoning not kiting.

Colonel Iyam A Heita I see you are still angry and that's ok but your snide attempts to berate me are taxing. Secondly you seem to be an extremist...so I will explain this to you better. If Tyson is throwing a jab... a fast light punch, no warning/prep-time is needed because jabs primarily don't do much damage. However if Tyson is throwing a hook or uppercut or some form of haymaker, his either A) preps it with subsequent faster/lighter punches that leave his opponent confuse and open or B) ends up warning his opponent through body language such as positioning or due to timing such as the delay between it's execution. I don't expect people to telegraph their attacks....because even I don't do that. Heita only yells the names of his moves AFTER he has executed them. However I do take into account that because my character is a bit flashy in execution minus giving overt tells, that most of my opponents have the window to do something about them. Which is why my aim isn't to hit every move... but rather apply so much pressure that eventually they fall prey to some of the harder hitting ones. Thank you for proving the point I just told Kelly about. You have a long way to go, grasshopper.

Vintrict You know damn well when it comes to boxing, I'm probably more savvy than you ever will be. What. I've studied it, incorporated it into my workout routines, and been at amateur joints and gyms. You're a janitor at Nintendo and jerk it to Legend of Zelda. Get on my level small fry. cool Quote: Feints and stuff are obvious. You don't have to always write them in your posts, but it helps with the logistics. ...So you can do a feint, and not write it in your post at all. Are you just being facetious today or are you high? Quote: However, from Heita's case, he is referring generally to attacking, which hardly follows that rule. If I perform a jab that has the strength of a truck hit, in his eyes, it shouldn't be as powerful. But it is because my character probably has some ability or power that makes it so. Right, and we're saying your jab shouldn't hit as hard as truck and that's the basics to a balancing schema. Little risk, little effort, little reward. Quote: He can't refute that. He can't go "well, it's a jab so it's not that powerful..." No, I just said it was. Then he'll whine about it not being balanced. But balance is in the eyes of the beholder because he won't care for the consequences or what was done to have that kind of ability be available to a fighter. To him, he's looking at the fight move by move, never the overall picture cause he'll be the first person to go crying to the judge about foul play. If your power levels for a competitive roleplay are set such that a jab on average is as potent as a truck hitting you, your point is valid. If it's not and you didn't set in your profile the ability to flick your wrist and cave somebody's skull in, you will probably get judge called and lose in said disagreement. This is very basic. Quote: Also, the rest of your post was bait, but I give you a cookie for trying. You are bad. Now to eat cookies. cool

The purpose of fighting is for getting as much reward out of as little risk as possible. No one fights to get hurt. You don't need to fight to get hurt. You fight to set forth an outcome in your favor, to contest it for yourself. Those who fight for "blood" are not fighters, but people with death wishes. They're the weakest out of fighters. They try to think high risk means high reward because ******** defense. As long as I get to my opponent, I'll take the hits. That's their philosophy. Most of the time, it doesn't work, especially against good opponents. I guess it may work against someone inexperienced, but that just means they rarely go against good people.
When it comes to balancing a move, it depends on the power scale of the tournament and ten the judges' interpretation of it. After that, it's up for whatever you do in the fight with what you got. When powers are involved, all that logic goes out the window. If someone places a hand against your character's arm, and suddenly you find your arm just got cut off, that wasn't unfair. You're in a powers tournament. Anything is possible. You're an idiot for getting close with that in mind.
But most of you don't go in with the true mindset that your fighter is in a supernatural setting. You go in with comic book and video game physics running through your minds because you call "real fighting boring." And it is. Most fights should be both fighters strafing trying to poke and go in, just like any other fight in history. And fights don't ever last pass five minutes. Usually they're decided with one to three good attacks in. But everyone's so caught up in making their posts entertaining, they forget what they're rping about in the first place.
I just like how some people here instantly get reduced to a child mindset because they're playing in a make believe tournament.

Darkest Silver And wow guys.... this is supposed to be fun. Stop taking everything so seriously. sad ~Wanders off to yell at people on the phone~ And at this. I don't get to have fun right now because my opponent's like "AHW HANK HILL GEE GEE" and won't fight me. All I've got to do is read other people fighting, and argue with Vintrict while he's high on kwayludes. I just.. wanna go Super Saiyan, is that.. so.. wrong?

For the sake of my sanity and to ensure this discussion overall stays civil. I am going to stop responding to Vinny.
As usual...you take an open subject and make it personal in order to "win" by berating the individual you are discussing with.
Not interested.

Lord Haelstrom Darkest Silver And wow guys.... this is supposed to be fun. Stop taking everything so seriously. sad ~Wanders off to yell at people on the phone~ And at this.

Hael will win and go to the next round of course. but I want to fight Hank Hill with an elseworlds version of Tres based more on Stone Cold than the Rock.

Good lord, Haus. Relax the calamity in your mammarys! If you feel the need to correct s**t-talking, then maybe you're taking things a little bit too seriously. If you can't take the heat, I'll stop being snide...and go back to being completely civil. wink Now...get hit in the throat! Also, might do a minor edit for clarity...but the attack isn't gonna change.

However, you suggesting that I'm kiting when I'm clearly not is just incorrect. I'm not angry about it as much as I am informing you. I never mentioned your s**t talking. I mentioned you saying that I'm using Kiting tactics, which is not what I'm doing at all. Unless you saying that I'm kiting is you s**t talking... In which case you need to work on your s**t talking. Talking about hot goo in your mouth...now THATS s**t talking.

Hmmmm...Let's consider this for a moment...Purpose of talking s**t? To rile folks up! A big rant on how, "I'm not kiting! Look, see...here's a very narrow-perspective breakdown on how you dodge EVERYTHING, and I'm totally NOT kiting!" is you getting riled up! If my s**t talking gets any better, Tresy-poo, I'll have to go into politics. pirate
