Welcome to Gaia! ::

Would anyone be up to sparring me at one of the various threads? Prefferably not an Elite. I need someone knew, and we for the most part know eachothers moves.

Okay guys, hasta la later.

If I don't post by the 7th, then simply assume that I am on an extended leave. I'll try to post and whatnot, but as of now, I'm going away for an indefinite period due to real life taking priority.

Someone tell Clash for me, I gotta run.

I have a question. When a budoukai match is over do we PM the head(That's Clash, I assume) and let them know?

Clash and everyone else, particularly Americans, I suppose: Yay! Have a good Independence Day.

Gotta work on my second character for Commerce. I've had the idea for a while, but he might get owned with the range of characters that have appeared in the tournament so far. Still, it should be fun to try him out. I was going to use him (and his concept) in a storyline RP before but never got the chance.

He'll be different from my other two characters, too. Not elemental.

No dwarf is complete without a bludgeoning tool... . =;;

Imperfect-Chaos, that works. I read all matches as it is, so if you'd like you can simply let it sit there and I'll get to it, but a PM doesn't hurt so that I know for sure that it's over. =) So go ahead and send it.

On to Hiroki and Binatica's situation.

I don't see anything wrong with what Binatica's been doing. The only questionable thing is the defense against the exploding needles, but it works. I'll just try to take this point-by-point.

First off, Hiroki, you're doing way too much at once. For the dust tornado, when Binatica asked me about it over PM's, I said it was okay and used the fact that you called it a dust tornado and not a real tornado in your defense. I've seen little dust whirlwinds kick up without galeforce winds, so you wouldn't have to be running extremely fast to kick up some sand and dust to produce something like that. However, since you started saying you're moving at 1500mph...which is more than twice the speed of sound and pretty ridiculous as is, especially when used so simply and normally like it takes no effort to pick up that kind of speed on a dime...then said that an actual tornado was produced and sustained, stuff starts to get iffy.

If you're running that fast, I don't see how you can even focus on Binatica's character, let alone to throw all those needles at her or even be able to aim properly. Also, my thoughts are that you ought to trip when the stuff hits the ground right in front of you, if not take the hit, whether you have energy channeled through the ground to fill up the holes or not. The energy isn't omnipotent, and if you're not being hit by a blast when you're running that fast in a circle, it means it's going to just barely miss you and you'll trip over it in split-seconds. At first I thought it'd be alright if you were kind of 'floating' for half of the 'track' you're running, but I thought about that again, and you wouldn't be able to stay on course or kick up the dust and sand you'd need to make the concealing whirlwind.


Not only did you try to do too much at once, and too fast, but you should have taken a turn to emit the gas like you did earlier and then jet the liquid into it to make it explode. By the quoted stuff above, it pretty much definitely means the stuff is exploding right in your character's face, and before it even reaches Binatica.


You keep making mention of 'secrets' and 'tricks' that allow you to do stuff like this, but we need to know that stuff, otherwise you're just killing yourself by what's presented. Your lack of detail on those points kind of puts Binatica out of the red anyway for not describing exactly how her armor negates the exploding needles, but just alluding to it with the white sparks. Like you said, these are fantasy characters and stuff and likely wouldn't do stuff that they themselves can't handle, but there's a point where that element in a battle stops cutting it. Running at that speed for that long, your character's clothes ought to be at least burning up by now and his flesh ought to be peeling off from the friction. At the least, you could have explained how he can sustain those speeds better, or thought about it more before you just start doing crazy stuff like running around fast enough to make tornados.

Sorry for kind of ranting, I'm a little out of it and I'm tired.

My decision is that you ought to be tripping or taking a hit from one of her blasts, both scenarios of which will interrupt your flying out of the tornado at 'lightning-speed' to do the gas stuff and will just throw you back or send you flying, having the tornado stopped since it shouldn't even be there in the first place unless you want your character to be burned up. That, or we can continue from where Binatica last posted, with the gas exploding in your face. In either situation, she's clear of the needles exploding on her. That's your penalty for doing a bunch of crap. Sorry.

Moral of the story, never move faster then 340 m/s unless you have a damn good reason.
