Welcome to Gaia! ::

If he took the hit, Blade would too? Not quite, as Blade hadn't paid attention to Mooo's positioning. Mooo's head was tilted downward as he threw the hook, his shoulders hunched up to provide the compact position necessary for a lateral punch. Mooo's upper body was almost parallel to the ground as his attack was performed, so if Blade were to come down diagonally in what was akin to a sloppy kesagiri, the last third of his blade would slam against Mooo's shoulders and leave a cut maybe an eighth of an inch to a quarter-inch deep. As for the electrical charge? That caused Mooo to spasm and drive his attack even harder upwards. When a charge entered a body, it caused that person to bolt upright if it were of sufficient-enough strength. In this case, it wasn't powerful enough to completely fry Mooo or stop him in place, but it was enough to jerk his musculature down to his hips and make his punch even stronger than it already was, although this would definitely cause some muscle strain upon completion of the move.

So, Blade's attack hit Mooo... now Mooo's attack would hit Blade. At the force it was going, Blade would almost definitely have broken ribs, and since the punch was using the full weight of the body, the punch would continue to drive upwards at an angle, possibly sending shards of rib for his heart, left lung, and left kidney. From there, it would be impossible for Blade to follow through on the spin he had for the next strike, since hitting a top at its center caused it to topple over away from its line of orbit. Blade would probably stumble off to Mooo's left, where another hand was ready to pinball him back to Mooo's right.

Point of fact, one can simply say the spasm from the shock would cause the major muscles in use--in this case the deltoids--to jerk hard in the direction they were already going to simply go that direction even harder. It's like touching a paper clip taped to a Van de Graf generator--if you're swinging your hand past it to take a quick touch of the current, it will effectively "push" your hand in the direction it's going.

In addition to this, while one can perform a headspin to nullify impacts from head punches, doing a body spin is just about two steps shy of impossible, at least in the way Blade was attempting to do it. Yes, there was the obvious physical change that would cause slightly-deflected overall impact of the punch, but the head moved on a much looser pivot.

The hips and pectorals are not loose pivots. Mooo was aiming for the kidney, which is wrapped in heavy muscle--once again, the deltoids. Those aren't fast-turning pivots that allow him to deflect by the fast movement required for a full Filipino-originating headspin, but rather they allow the upper body to stretch diagonally in the various directions structurally possible. This is why shoulders are used to roll off punches--when one took a body blow at an angle they couldn't deflect, they simply gritted their teeth and hoped to Christ they were conditioned enough to handle having breath forced out of their lungs from the impact.

In addition to this, if Blade were to allow the punch with its only slightly-decreased impact to roll off of him, two options became available to Mooo as his punch was deflected toward him--a hook had less distance to travel before "live" positioning than a straight did, so he'd have a guarding hand (or weapon) available almost instantaneously thanks to Blade's deflection. Either he could simply push the sword away, or he could just hang on to it and keep it from going anywhere--no literally, anywhere--and use his free hand, since he was on Blade's dead angle, to punch the living s**t out of Blade's back.

In this case, since Mooo was a generous soul and wasn't thinking of the best option right now, he went with the first thing on his mind, which was smacking the sword out of the baby gash in his back and right trap with the back of his right hand. Blade's spin continued as Mooo's left foot stuck to Blade's stance, maintaining that less-than-six-inch distance he worked best in and once again nullifying all range Blade had with the swords. Blade's spin had stopped, and he was going to put it all into the left sword he'd previously hit Mooo with, but Mooo had pushed it out of the wound before it could get any worse and tucked his right hand back down to his hip, chambered perfectly for a reverse punch. As his right shoulder dipped back in all the classic signs of a hard, telltale right, Mooo's left hand came from below, when Blade's attention would be focused on his right--unless of course Blade had a lazy eye and was somehow able to follow everything even when Mooo used a proven physiological tactic to draw his attention somewhere while striking elsewhere. Unless Blade had knowledge of this tactic, as Mooo had only been using his left for setups and was relying on his right (or big lefts) to actually be damage-dealers, Blade would have little to no reason to actually see this coming.

As Mooo's right shoulder was prepping the big finisher, Mooo's left hand corkscrewed down for Blade's bladder--aiming just below his opponent's stomach and just above his groin--with Mooo's eyes locked on Blade's the entire time. Striking the bladder caused great discomfort and pain, and was intended as an opener to a finishing pattern. In addition to that, select few martial arts taught protection for this area, instead showing long, sweeping blocks (or tight, compact ones) that covered the entire torso, with specific defenses working mainly over the chest, centerline, and kidney/liver areas. In a pinch (or when his opponent was armed), Mooo had no qualms about going for areas that couldn't be tensed up.

How is his mind way more advanced than a human mind? Does it fire its synapses faster? Does it produce more electrical energy than the standard human brain? What kind of material is it made out of that it can withstand that much running through it?

I can draw Mooo's cellular structure for you, I can fully explain how and why he's able to do what he does--even the fantastical bullshit aspects I explain by using "chi" as my catch-all, then explain from there. Your downfall is that you tried to look smart--you tried to couch all of your abilities in science, then fail horribly when it comes time to actually explain WITH science how everything works.

A friend of mine mentioned this today--there are two types of laws: natural laws, and laws of men. The only difference between these is that one type of law absolutely, positively cannot be broken. If you jump off a building without a parachute, you WILL fall. No matter what, you WILL fall, regardless of how far you fall or if somebody catches you or somebody grabs you, you WILL fall for at least some period of time before your fall is stopped. So it also works with physiology--I wanna know why Blade's brain is so badass.

Yes, but if Mooo's skin is in fact 106 degrees, how are you able to see past that to see that his internal body temperature is 98.6 degrees? SKIN HEATS UP TOO, DUDE, AS DOES HAIR! xd

I have long, dark hair that's always kept in a ponytail. When it's a hot day, my hair gets ******** hot, so when I take off my shirt, I go "GOD DAMN" as my hair rests on my back, then everything gets to be an equal temperature and it's no longer a problem. Mooo would be a big, moving blob of the same heat signature in an area filled with the same temperature.

The reason why thermal vision works, why it senses heat so easily, is because it's used in rooms that are--oh my God--ROOM TEMPERATURE. There's smoke or gas or whatever clouding normal vision, so thermal vision is used to see highly-differentiated heat patterns in a room--it's looking for the obvious, the lone white man at a 50Cent concert.



Incidentally, I looked up a positron and found this:

Then I looked up its physical values and found this, which is what you're apparently doing, but somehow with an open-close valve.

Like I was saying earlier, explosions create a jarring effect on the body. Sure, Blade may be used to it, but that doesn't make it good for his skeletal structure. Mooo can take a punch, that doesn't make it okay for his face.

In addition to that, you've still been moving Blade's body faster than Mooo moves his ******** ARM at regular intervals throughout this fight with no explanation, in addition to your piss-poor melee that lacks all sense of reason and shows absolutely no research or actual knowledge to begin with--but I'll get to that later.

You spin around in MMA, you'll get tackled--or punched in the a**, or kicked in the back, or one of many other horrible things. Mooo fights realistically. Get that--he has super powers, and yet he fights realistically.

What does this mean? It means you have to fight him REALISTICALLY, otherwise you're going to be beaten because REAL stances and positioning take into account things like counterattacks and failure. Blade is not prepared to fail. He is not prepared to get hit, he is prepared to win, and is thus SCREWED against somebody who has in fact prepared for getting hit and failing his attack attempts.

The curve of a Japanese sword makes it a poor thrusting weapon. Yes, tsuki variants are heavily used in certain styles, but really, it's a cutting and slashing weapon best suited to cavalry use. ANY tsuki can easily be knocked away--or can fail completely upon contact--if done one-handed, mainly because (and you seriously should know this if you've even considered using a Japanese sword in RP combat) the real power of attacks with the Japanese sword comes from THE LEFT HAND, the one that holds near the pommel. The right hand, the one holding it choked up near the tsuba, is just there to hold it in place and guide it. Yes, battou and iai are done one-handed, but that's also because you're maintaining a deathgrip on the handle while doing a quick, flicking motion with your arm. EVERY SINGLE STRONG ATTACKING TECHNIQUE IN JAPANESE SWORDSMANSHIP is DONE WITH TWO HANDS. If you do any of them with one hand, you risk total failure. The reason why Miyamoto Musashi is purported to have dual-wielded is because he was HUGE for a Japanese man--six-foot-something--and he was basically just hacking away with them, not "properly" using the weapon, not to mention that most of his victories came from using a bokken, which is a hitting weapon--not a cutting weapon.

Yeah, it's super-hot and has electricity on it for no ******** reason, but all Mooo has to do is bat it away with his hand and he's in the clear. I have no problem with you doing this--it's advantageous to me, if you can actually get the idea of me having an advantage through your thick ******** skull and realize that Blade is not always going to be cool, calm, and collected 24/7--I'm just saying that you're doing s**t that won't actually work, and then you complain, saying how it WOULD actually work for such-and-such made-up reasonings.

The reason why people collapse is because THEY AREN'T HYDRATED. xd

Mooo's a fighter--a conditioned fighter who trains regularly, going through calisthenics and a realistic exercise and strength-management routine simply to make sure that his superhuman strength is not only conditioned, but USED effectively. Top that off with the fact that he's not on weight control, and you have one hell of a healthy, well-hydrated fighter.

It was a pain in the a** getting this last part back onto the post, but now it's here.

Well, that was a horrible accident and I ended up editing Blade's post instead of quoting it. Sorry Blade, I really truly am, that was an honest accident caused by me hitting the wrong button.

I still think you're grasping at straws here and you're kind of an idiot for not being able to actually back up what you're saying with REAL facts, but you do deserve a real apology for an honest mistake.

Blade has accepted defeat. Anonymooo wins and advances!
