Didnt you forfeit? Also, Mr. Crawley You betch. You're in the finals now >=| Reiko aint here, but if he does the same thing I do without taking things back unless theres a good reason, then I guess that more or less settles it.

Yeah, Reiko's not here, so finals thread up.
So start beating each other up. And if someone wins by dq for not posting within 24 hours, I will be sad.

I'll do my damndest to not get DQed.
My work schedule for the weekend goes as follows:
Friday: 3.30PM-10PMish
Saturday: 12PM-7PM (at the latest)
Sunday: 3.30PM-10PMish
So yeah. If I'm not here during those times (Eastern!), that's why.
DON'T DQ ME, I NEED MONEY!

My net died for a day and a half, so please excuse my lax posting.
But uh... Athena and I need to speak about her latest post. I have a few problems with what you're trying to do.
A) I gave you two full posts to do something about my attempt at a grapple, and you did nothing until convenient to you. If I weren't a nice person, I wouldn't have given you that much time to avoid.
B) Logically and scientifically, there is absolutely no way that you would be able to move from directly in front of (almost hugging) an object currently in motion (one that is heavier, which means more momentum) to directly behind it with only a one-legged hop. Physics is in charge here, not you. The right-leg pushoff that's supposed to help propel you in a half-circle around me works in both directions. If you push off like that, you're also pushing me away. In mid-air, that kind of maneuver would only serve to separate us, not enable you to ninja your way into a better attack position.
But if you disagree and would rather keep your anti-physics post, I'll be more than happy to keep going.

A) Attempt at grapple wouldn't have worked with my kick regardless. Push kick equals arms forward to keep balance or you're fall, including a slight lean back of the upper body. I did not make it convient because of the fact until I saw you "shift" your knee to counter my kick in mid-knee. Shifting your hip like that in such a time would cost you. Any knows that if you even shift direction of your attack while using it serves as consequence to you in that it throws you off of your predetermined action/balance. You'll have only little time to react to try to make up for it, but already, if your opponent knows what she's doing, you're going to pay. If you can't make up for one action, you're best not performing that action at all.
B) I never said I moved directly behind you, but to the right of you. And the reason why the movement in the half circle would work is because of what I stated in A above. It's going to cost you. You were running, and you like to use your weight to your advantage, so here's a disadvantage: your weight toppling you forward because of that knee strike. I know what I'm up against, so am not going to make stupid moves.
The only person opposing physics is you. Don't put the blame on me.

My knee/shin being against your thigh means that my extended arms would be able to reach around the back of your neck, unless your upper body is parallel with the ground. Your kick DIDN'T work, so yes, I would be able to pull off my grapple.
Twisting my hips in midair would not throw me off course. Get on a trampoline. Jump from one side to the other. In midair, do a 180 twist. You will still land on your a** in almost the exact same trajectory as you would if you hadn't twisted. Try it with a smaller friend in the way. Your friend will not deflect you to the side, but only slow you down.
But, like I said, if that's the way you want to play it, then sure. You just won't like the consequences.

Of course my kick didn't work, which is why I had states about the grabbing of at least your right arm. The left arm would be taken care of in an evasion when she performs the manuever to your right.
And I already know of that. However, I already told you that you do have time to make up for that, in which means regaining your balance, but when you're having some one take advantage of that, then you won't be able to achieve that same trajectory. You're thinking that I'm placing most of my force into this, which would mean my weight alone would not work. But as I said, your situation will make it easier to send you falling face first.
-sighs- Let's just continue.

I don't know how you can do this: Glorious Athena As Merry would twist to fall, Athena would remain standing as she takes a few hasty steps around with her opponent throwing her arm to fall toward the ground. When you've already done this: Glorious Athena But the reason she is able to reverse her motion to the right is because she is turning clockwise, suddenly leaping off her left foot as she moves directly to the right of Merry (Merry's right), easily having that left arm fail in getting even a hold of her. Unless you have two extra legs, or something, I didn't think that was possible.

Since you did not fall to the ground like intended, the left leg would remain against you as you start to swing your arm. Since that would cause me to suddenly have to stumble with the motion of it, my foot would return to the ground anyway to create those steps.
Anything else you wish to clear up?

I have a serious problem with what you're doing. My motions were based off of the idea that your actions have been completed as stated.
There is no way for you to attempt a motion, find that it fails, and undo the motion. And now that I've already worked off of actions that HAVE BEEN completed, simply because you neglected to inform me of otherwise, I'd really appreciate that you edit your post. Otherwise, we're going to have to edit three or four posts collectively.
Just because I don't react as you intend, doesn't mean that you didn't do the action as you've already stated. Real life doesn't support EDIT or REWIND features, and that's what we're trying to replicate here. Real life.

Where did I undo a motion? The only thing I am doing is following along with your actions. I am sorry, but you are being vague here in what you mean by that. I am not rewinding in anyway. Just following along with this fight with a smooth course. What I see here is you having a problem with your motions not going as planned as you think. I can see very well what is happening, and Athena is acting accordingly. I am not doing anything that someone with high speed thinking could accomplish, nor anything else that is considered unfair. I am just thinking like a normal fighter in the ring, and using my knowledge of my moves to try to take advantage of situations, or make an advantage, based on your movements and the odds against me.
In this fight, it requires tactics from me. You may see an easy win, but if that is so, then you are well on a course of defeat. And also, there is something called an interrupt. That means that you may list doing a number of actions, but your combination may be broken by your opponent. Same as for me. Instead of coming to ooc here, you could have just continued by maybe proving me wrong and having something not go as I thought it would, provided it fits with the situation. The only reason we should ooc is when something is not clear in our post, not because I am doing something you think is wrong in your view or may not be possible. Just prove why it wouldn't work in your post and continue.
But if you're so inclined to seeing your way, then maybe we should get Crawley in here to make a judgment himself. I just want to continue this fight like it was going.
