I think Rilla mentioned something like this once when he was toying with the forced random teams tournament. Though something more like a spirit link that caused both combatants to lose when one was defeated seemed more practical.


Handcuffed and spirit linked are totally different.

@Rilla I know you're busy and that, but our practice match? did you see my last post?


Speaking of practice matches, it's still your post in ours.

Rilla, really, is there any other option if handcuffed to you? I will be off and on since I have clients I have to work with for the next 6-10 weeks. Reading screenplays and offering advice is hard when people don't understand the blessing of white space in a screenplay.

Based on what I have read so far Shiden and Nightangel will prove to be capable and enjoyable opponent in the Tourney.

Quick poll:

Would the preference be to lock people into a character at the start of the tournament (in that they can't use any others) or not? The alternative would be to allow people to select their character at the start of each round and they would have to be agreed upon by both duelists.

I'd say lock them in.

Though, for me I guess it doesn't matter since I have only one character in the Arena.

And thanks for the compliment Skally.

Rilla- Can I use our fight as a learning example? I know it is not finished yet and I have the utmost respect for you as a fighter so if you don't wish too I won't.

Alright, because I have Rilla’s permission I am using our fight as a learning tool. Now I know that everyone is an expert text fighter so this probably will fall on deaf ears. However for those willing to indulge me, I would like you to read the fight up to the point where we exchange blows and see if you can spot the tactical error made initially.

LOL Okay, I have had years of fighting and in fact have had several boxing matches, learning the sweet science helped me when applying strikes from other martial styles of combat.

I'll be honest I don't watch enough boxing nor understand the technicalities of the sport well enough to guess what went wrong.

The only things I really noticed was

1. Jake was able to spot Tre was a right handed boxer.
2. He managed to avoid being hit with the left handed strike
3. He moved in on Tre with a surprise upper cut when Tre advanced (I'm guessing this was the error here, though I can only say that from what I've learned about Fencing, which is that you have to capture the position before striking, otherwise you leave yourself open to a faster attack.)

Though I was a little confused about the movements, as Tre's left handed attack wasn't actually successful in either of its two objectives, so I don't fully understand why he would have still moved forward as Rilla described it. (Which he described as taking place if the attack was successful, as far as I can tell.)

I'll be happy to see what people who understand boxing can come up with.
