Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heavy Pinwheel- Even if you were, say, a master trickster or gunslinger, in which the latter is probably faster than the berserker's attacks and the former specializes in dodging? Other than that, is there anything against blocking the move? Even if you get hit in the head repeatedly, your arms and magic abilities are still free to maneuver however they want, right? I'm asking because I want to be sure that there is some way to stop this move from hitting your for three straight posts, after which you are realistically either unconscious or dead, making this skill a sure-kill skill in a one-on-one battle if it hits. In my opinion, that's a bit too much for any skill, much less a B-rank skill.

Unwelcomed Surprise- So a C-rank skill would make someone unable to defend themselves for two to four posts? Umm…. No, I think just making them blank out until they hit the floor head-first will be enough. That way, they have to take the full amount of damage and can't maneuver to lessen it.

Human Sandwich- Don't Berserkers have Iron Form or something? They could use that during this skill….

Full Nelson- 4 and it's accepted.

The Art of Eight Limbs- "First the user must stand perfectly still and sit down..."

Resuscitation: Alright, then have it so that it only revives people that have been knocked unconscious thanks to the effects of a Dim Mak skill. The reason being that not all cases of unconsciousness can be fixed with chi points because they aren't all caused by chi points. At least, that's my reasoning.

Death's Second Coming- Okay, one post sounds good (meaning that they have a total of two posts in which to execute the move).

Mortal Equinox- How many slashes specifically and what's their strength?

Shadow Shots- How long do the tentacles last and how do you get out?

Natural Cape- Erm, so it can be used as a shield? Can the cape be controlled? Where does the cape cover naturally, just the back like superman or does it drape over the entire body?

Dreading Death- Okay, I'm leaving this up to Fenrir. This is in the realm where I really don't know how to judge.

ALL FREE SKILLS. They are listed in the manner in which they will appear in the style just in case anybody complains that this isn't in the correct application format.

Stage 5 Capoeira skill
Heavy Pinwheel
Rank: B
Description: The user surprises the opponent by attacking the opponent first with a vertical hand strike, followed by another behind it. Then the user somersaults forward repeatedly, constantly hitting them with one leg at a time before coming back around to hit them with the arms again. A user can spin forward up to as many times as they'd like, and like the Heavy Rain skill once a strike is made it is almost impossible to get out. This is because the user keeps their stance open, with a limb extended toward both up, down, and sides of the body, so that when they start somersaulting the strikes flow together one after the other is such a fast pace that the opponent simply cannot recover fast enough to block or dodge the next strike. With the strikes aimed generally towards smashing the top of their head downwards, the opponent can't even pull their head up again to see the next strike coming. Though this attack does not cause the more powerful blunt strikes of Heavy Rain, if their nails are sharp enough a user could potentially slice an opponent to ribbons before they can get out. If a user keeps up their spinning for over three posts then they'll suffer two posts of dizziness once finished.

Stage 4 Capoeira skill
Unwelcomed Surprise
Rank: C
Description: The unpredictability of the style shows itself exceeding well in this move, most effectively used against an opponent attacking from behind, where the user first strikes backward with their leg to uppercut an opponent in the groin, only to follow up in the same instance with a powerful kick upward to the chin of the opponent by the other foot (the user keeps their grounding with a handstand). This launches the opponent up to fifteen feet in the air, and if male the pain is usually so great and sudden that it causes the opponent to black out (if male and of lower rank than the user) until they crash back into the ground headfirst a moment later where they suffer another 3 posts of dizziness as a result.


Wrestling Stage 4 skill
Human Sandwich
Rank: C
Requires: Ring Creation
Description: User pulls back on the ropes of the ring and then while facing their opponent they let go to let themselves be flung towards their opponent at high speed. Then they pull their arms back for extra aerodynamic velocity and puff their chests out to smack themselves body-first against their opponent. The attack deals a fair bit of damage, yes, but its main purpose is to stun their opponent for a post while they are flung into the ropes themselves and then bounced back to be at the mercy of whatever attack the user wants to lay on them. Its called the Human Sandwich because if done with a partner on the opposite side of the ring the two can coordinate their releases so they slam into the opponent at the same time, smushing them against their bodies for a moment to let them fall stunned to the ground immediately afterwards. While charging toward the opponent the user cannot be stopped or slowed down by C-rank or lower attacks. Cannot change direction once charge is initiated.


Wrestling Stage 5 Skill
Full Nelson!
Rank: A
Description: The greatest lock in all of Wrestling. The user places their arms under the pits of their opponent from behind, and then pulls up to lock their hands on the back of their opponent's neck. The great thing about this lock is that its impossible to break out of until the user lets go (unless the opponent has at least 4 ranks more strength than the user), and it even blocks the opponent from using any energy. But on the downside the user is also just as immobilized and helpless as their opponent. Costs D-rank energy each post to keep up the lock.


"A Full Nelson? That won't work on me. I'm Raditz. *struggles* ....Alright let go. *struggles* You're seriously starting to piss me off!"


Berzerker-only Muay Thai Skill
Shield and Lance
Rank: D
Description: When an opponent attacks at the user's side the user raises their leg to block and deflect the attack with their shin while at the same time striking the opponent's face by jumping and hitting with the other knee.

Berzerker-only Muay Thai Skill
The Art of 8 Limbs
Rank: S
Description: Taking its name from the style, Muay Thai is often called the Art of 8 Limbs because it strikes using both fists, feet, elbows, and knees. This attack combines all 8 in a single instant to take an opponent down. First the user must stand perfectly still and take an open stance with both elbows brought up to the user's chin so that their fists extend just out in front of their face, resembling something akin to elephant tusks. Then on the opponent's next post they have to try to physically assault the user. This ensures the opponent is close enough for the user to attack them so quickly. Just before the opponent's strike hits the user blocks it with an explosion of energy and instantly counters with an extreme barage of hits in which the user strikes their opponent with all 8 of their "limbs" to instantly kill or otherwise render the opponent helpless. Whether this attack works or not, the user will not be able to use anymore Muay Thai skills for 5 posts following its attempt. Can only be used twice in a fight.


Dim Mak Stage 3 Skill
Resuscitation
Rank: C
Description: Just as the style can be used to shut down internal organs it can also be used to revive them. After sitting up an unconscious person, the user strikes open-handedly an energy point on their back right by the shoulder blade. This resets the electrical node of the heart and brings their chi back into its normal rhythm and thus brings them back to consciousness. Only works if the person was knocked out from a Dim Mak or other chi attack.

Dim Mak Stage 4 Skill
Death's Second Coming
Rank: B
Description: This is the most used striking skill behind this stage's deathstrikes. The user first uses D-rank energy to strike any chi point on their opponent's body. Then if the user is able to strike that same weakened point a second time, this time for B-rank energy, then the opponent will fall backwards unconscious with a rapidly increasing heartrate. If left alone without medical treatment for three posts plus an extra for every rank over the user, then the victim will go into cardiac arrest and die shortly thereafter. After the first hit is made the user has 2 more posts to hit them with the second strike. After that the effect from the first strike has to be maintained with a D-rank energy cost each post or else it will disappear and the user has to start all over again.
